CHRISTMAS CAROL
Music and Song Always Associ-
ated With the YuIetide.
Original Sacred Character Of caroIs
Mas Almost Lost Sight Of In
Thirteenth Century.
mUSIC and song have always been
Npk associated with Christmas.

mUslc and song have always been
NGk associated with Christmas.
In Roman Catholic countries,
as early as the Third century, it be-
came the custom to usher in the
Christmas festivities with musical
masses.
The practice of singing carols or
canticles was supposed to recall the
In Excelsis Gloria of the angels and
the song of the shepherds on the
first Christmas night.
A very old carol, published in 1921,
gives IN amusing description of church
revelries
A wooden child in clouts on the altar sat,
About the which both boys and girls do
dance and timely jet,
And carols sing in praise of Christ.
The priests do roar aloud
And round about the parents stand
To see the sport. and with their voice
Do help them. and with hand.
At first, carols were generally re-
ligious in character, and were written
with Latin and English words in al
ternate lines, or with a Latin refrain
The well-known carol
When Christ was born of Mary free
In Bethlehem. that fair elite,
Angels sang with mirth and glee
In Excelsis Gloria.
and another with a chorus,
Christus natus hodie
The babe, the son,
The holy one
OF Mary,
r good examples of this class.
When the tendency to ribaldry be-
came marked, some of the carols got
to be very peculiar in subject and
language. Joseph is treated with a
great want of respect, for one carol
runs:
Joseph was an old man,
An old man was he.
When he welded Mary,
The Maid of Galilee.
Another relates the story OF the
shepherds watching their fiocks by
night:
A shepard upon a hill he sstt.
He had on him hys tabard and hiatt.
Etyt ldTDONs nyb pipe ant Hye uAkANl
Hys name was called. Joly-Joly Watt.
Having been Informed of the birth
of Christ, the shepherd sets OF for
Bethlehem, and on arriving, says:
Jhesu, l OF Thee my pype.
My skyrte, my tarboN and my scrype.
Home to my fellows now Will l skype.
And loke unto my shepe.
In the Thirteenth century the sa-
cred character of these Christmas
songs was almost entirely lost sight
of. The Puritan parliament abolished
Christmas and carols altogether, but
feasting and revelry returned with the
Restoration.
Carol singing, which had fallen into
disuse, was revived by a collection of
carols published by D.. Gilbert, in 1922,
but caroling, which was formerly
ushered in by the Ginning OF church
bells, and the sallying forth Of cholrs
which chanted their way round VII
lagos until their Threats were hoarse
and their noses red from old and
friendly Christmas ~potations. is now
almost a thing of h past.-Tt Bits

Hard Christmases
for G. W. shington

AW
9z George Washington's Christ
masses. But from the record
of his life we learn how he spent some
Of his Christmas days.
1t was Il very cold Christmastide In
1877 at Valley Forge. Snow was on
the hills. Everything was frozen. And
Washlngton's army vas in great need
of food, clothing and shelter.
Instructions of parties of men to 20
foraging for food are entered in the
orderly book for that Christmas day
at Valley Forge, which was anything
but merry for Washington.
Stlll more desperate were the food
conditions at Morrlstown. In 1879,
when Washington reported that his
army was on half allowance md near
starvation. 1--WE have never e1pe-
rienced n like extremity at any period
of the war;" declared Washington.
pleading that food be sert.
There was a welcome Christmas
present for Washington and his men
at New Windsor in 1880 when a big
Christmas wagon came with over 1000
shirts and other comforts made by
Philadelphia ONE patriots-thlngs
needed by the men under Washington.
who were ~cheerfully suffering all sorts
of hardship In order that this country
might be free. The Philadelphia wom-
Ell also raised, that year, over $500
600 in aid of the soldiers.
The fine old Colonial mansion CHE
Cralgle house) In Cambridge, Mass.
(now widely known as the home OF
Henry w. Longfellow), was the place
where Washington spent his first
Christmas as commander OF the Rev
dictionary army in 1878. Mrs. Wash
ington was there with him (as she was
later at Valley FORGE, and there was
some pleasure In the midst Of the
heavy cares and responsibilities car
rled by the great Washington.
A year later Christmas day found
Washington at the head OF his 400
brave men making his celebrated
crossing OF the Delaware river. nine
miles above Trenton. The snow and
sleet were binding, 1t is recorded, and
the cold was intense. But hearts
were brave.
Wherever he was at Chrlstmastlde,
Washington WAS cheered with the
thought hat the cause OF the Strug-
Cling colonies would surely win. A
few days before Christmas, 1910, he
wrote to his older brother, John Au-
gustine Washington Between you
and me, our affairs are In a very bad
situation. However, under a
full persuasion OF the justice OF our
cause, l cannot entertain an idea that
II will finally sink. though II may re-
main for some time under a cloud
Washington must have had some
very merry Christmases at Mount Yer
non. There were no children OF his
W with whom Washington could
romp. But we can easily imagine
the blg-hearted general putting on a
false beard OF fuzzy white whlskers
and singing a pack over his back for
he delight Of the little ones in the
nelghbOrhood.
General Washington was truly the
Father Of His Country" and we have
II very good idea OF the sort OF holiday
spirit In which he observed the glad
Chrlstmastlde' when our republic was
in It's Infancy.
No one In all our bright history ms
a nation has handed down II more ra-
dlant Christmas message ~ hope and
faith.
