ritual. site missa Tor NASSAU est" is
TO be found in the second chapter of

not a development, having existed from
the earliest days of Christianity. In
fact, in many respects there has been
devolution instead of evolution IN the
manner of it's celebration,

CAROLS AS PART OF
TIKI CHRISTMAS


origin of the Christmas carol
VI is uncertain. 1t is probably as
old as Christianity. Indeed,
Bishop Taylor in his "Great Exemplar'
remarks that the first carol is the
hymn of the angels to the shepherds
in the plains of Bethlehem:
GLORY to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward men"
In the Fifteenth century carols were
widely Used throughout Europe. In
fact, the first pieces printed by the
very first printers were carols. In one
of the oldest collections appears "The
Bears Head which used to be sung
as that old dish was carried to the
table during the Christmas revelry:
The Bears Head in hands l bring
With garlands gay and birds singing;
l pray you all to help me sing
"Qui estis in convivio!"
"The Bears Head represents n
of the convivial carols or 'jolie chan
sons which had their place at the
feasts, dances and other gay festivi-
ties of the Christmas season.
In Shakespeare's time bands OF
itinerant singers used to wander about
the streets and make their carolry a
Dretext for getting money.
During the Eighteenth century carol
nv declined greatly, and many of the
quaint old customs which had marked
Christmas festivals for centuries be-
came obsolete.
Carolry still exists in parts of Eng
land.
In Wales it has been preserved to
a still greater extent, while ireland,
too. has her Christmas caroling IN
t~ime-honored style. France has its
"Noels," and in Italy Christmas carols
have been sung since the time of st.
Francis Of Assist. who discovered the
power of sacred song in the YER
nacular.
In churches all over the world many
of the delightful old carols are now a
part of the Christmas service.

Observation-Disclosures
st. Nicholas, the
Holy Man of the
Fourth Century
Observation-Disclosures
"a THE entire category of the
saints none continues to enjoy a
. more extended popularity Than

al saints none continues to enjoy a
more extended popularity than
ST. Nicholas, archbishop Of Myra.
At this time, when preparations are
being made for the celebration of the
birthday Of the Christ-child, it is par
ticularly fitting hat we recall some
thing Of the character of this holy
man of the Fourth century and re-
member some Of the legends which
bring him so close to us at Christmas
time.
Strange to say, while st. Nicholas is
regarded as the special guardian Of
children, virgins and sailors, he came
to be regarded as the patron saint Of
robbers, from an alleged adventure
with thieves, whom he compelled to
restore some stolen goods to their
proper owners.
In various parts of the old world it
is customary for the elder members Of
the family to place little presents in
the shoes as well as the stockings OF
the younger relatives on the eve of
st. Nicholas day. In converts the
young women used to place silk stock
ings at the door of the apartment Of
the abbess, with a paper recommend
ing them to "Great st. Nicholas Of
her chamber"
While the emblem Of the three
golden balls is derived from the Lom-
bard merchants, yet st. Nicho-
las is frequently pictorially represented
as bearing three golden balls or purses,
the origin of which can be traced to
an act of the saint which has come
dowa to us in the form Of an ecclesi-
astical notation.

Usino Old

It is interesting to know and eco
nomical to follow the many little odds
and ends that can be made out of old
stockings, silk or Isle. SO often they
are thrown away because of endless
holes and runs-not good, you think,
for auything-but if this kind is saved
until a fairly good pile has been ac-
cumulated one can start a very fine
silk rag rug. The more numerous the
colors the prettier the rug.

Birds and animals
Share Christmas
CHRISTMAS is not merely a festi-

MdRISTMAS is not merely a festi-
" val celebrated by and for man
alone. Among the folk lore Of
other countries are several quaint sto-
ries in which animals and birds give
evidence of their alteration. A we'll
known Bosnian legend offers a version
of world adoration-they claim that
on the holy day 'the sun in the east
bowed down, the stars stood still the
mountains and forests shook and
touched the earth with their SUBMITS,
and the green pine tree bent; the
grass was be1owered with the open
ing of blossoms incense sweet as
myrrh pervaded upland and forest
birds sang on the mountain tops and
all gave thanks to the great God"
In Bosnia on Christmas day a sheaf
of rye is put into birds nests and bird
houses for the birds Christmas. A
stranger, stranded in a Michigan town
was once startled to see a sheaf of
rye in a bird box. He knew immedi-
ately that one of his kind lived there
and was keeping Christmas in the
old way.
An old Indian legend tells us that
on Christmas night all the deer in
the forest kneel in alteration before
the Great Spirit. Woe TO him, how
ever, who tries to spy upon them.
He is punished with perpetual stiff
ening of the knees.
Many people of the old world claim
that on Christmas night animals are
gifted with speech. but none must tres
pass or eavesdrop.
