In showing the Importance of timber
Mr.. Hastings referred To China where the

lack OF trees and small thefts were due
to the need 81 food the barren NOM

forester full time. one part time and two
assistants. He declared the expenditure
OF Sl5.009 and the planting of l.000,0o0

individual owners to plant the rougher

marks about cutting Christmas trees. He

they had the long end of a 81 to > score.
The visitors were completely outclassed
by Coach Hurley's proteges, and they were
unable to gather enc floor basket from the
blockade of the Rutland team. Cannon

had a regular field day with the spheroid,
caging the loop 81 times from the floor.
Joe Radigan at center also played a
good floor game and was a fitting pivot
in the machine Of the Rutland five. The
Brattleboro boys did fairly well, but they
were completely baffied by the password

several occasions they stood in bewilder-

OLD YULETIDE CAROLS
"HoIy Night" Regarded as One of
Most Beautiful Songs.
"Draw Nigh, lmmanueI," One OF Old.
est Pieces and Far Ante
dates Any Others.

IT HE ancient Christmas carol, "Holy
L Night" is German in its origin
and is considered by many persons to
be the most beautiful Of all Christ
mas carols. 1t has sometimes been
ascribed to Martin Luther, but the
consensus of expert opinion Is that it
is much older than his time and is one
of the Oldest of German folk songs.
The carol God Rest Ye Merry,
Gentlemen" is English In its origin
and dates back to about the beginning
Of the Seventeenth century, although
the author of the words and the COM
poser of the music are unknown. The
fine old melody sung to this poem pos
sesses all the best qualifications Of a
sterling hymn tune and will probably
last as long as the verses with which
it is always associated.
The carol DRAW Nigh, Emmanuel"
Is one of the oldest pieces of coherent
music in existence, and both the words
and music far antedate any of the 9TH
ers. The music is an old French mel
ody, dated from the Thirteenth CEN

harmonized to conform with more
modern standards.

fury, and it is generally believed that
they were taken from the liturgy of
the early Christians at Toledo Spain,
where the Mozarabic breviary was for
mulated.
Another carol, 1.-THE First Noel"
has a traditional French melody and
probably originated in Breton, al
though the exact origin of this fine old
song is somewhat in doubt.

CLOSE observers in the ranks of the

certain freshness is given TO the daily

and charitable spirit prevails Is
it, by the way, hoping for too much,
asks the Lancet, that the season of
good fellowship should leave some
lasting effect upon the manners and
methods of all?
Tt may not be easy to trace exactly
why the sense of exhilaration and
well-being comes with the advent of
Christmas, for the psychological fac

THE FIRST CHRISTMAS
Birth OF the Christ Child An
nounCed by Angel.
Good Tldings of Great Joy to All the
People In Coming Of
the Savior.

NJ OW it came to pass in those days.
there went out decree from
Caesar Augustus, that all the world
should be enrolled. This was the first
enrolment made when Quirinius was
governor of Syria. And all went to en-
roll themselves, every one to his own
city. And Joseph also went up from
Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth,
into Judaea, to the city Of David, which
is called Bethlehem, because he was of
the house and family of David, to
enroll himself with Mary, who was be-
trothed to him, being great with child
And 1t came to pass, While they were
there, the days were fulfilled that she
should be delivered. And she brought
forth her first-born son: and she
wrapped him in swaddling Clothes and
laid him in manger, because there
was not room for them In the inn.
And there were shepherds In the
same country. abiding in the field, and
keeping watch by night over their
flock. And an angel of the Lord stood
by them, and the glory of the Lord
shone round about them; and they
We're sore afraid. And the angel said
unto them, Be no. afraid; for, behold
I bring you good tidings of great joy
which shall be to all the people: for
there is born to you this day in the
city of David Savior, who is Christ
the Lord And this is the sign unto
you: Ye shall find babe wrapped in
swaddling clothes and lying in man
ger.
And suddenly there was with the
angel a multitude of the heavenly host
praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest.
And on earth peace among men in whom
he In well pleased.
