ance of that custom In all
parts of the country. OF course, we
have always had some Christmas
carol singing, varying in prevalence in
different parts Of the country and con-
fined mainly to the Christmas exer-
cises in church and school by the chill
dren just before the holiday. But in
the hurry and haste Of this modern
high-speed age and our departure in
many respects from the old forms of
observing the day, the singing of carols
Is one custom which has been allowed
to lapse to great extent.
1t is interesting to note, however,
that the Christmas carol is staging
comeback" and that in places where
its appearance seems all the more
surprising because it is in the very
center Of our modern commercialism.
In many Of the big department stores
In the large cities, in hotels and In
restaurants groups of musicians,
dressed in the costumes Of Old Eng
land, are playing and singing Christ
mas carols during the week before
Christmas. In some of the railroad
stations in the big cities hurrying
commuters and other railway travel
ers are surprised to hear the sound
of voices, singing old-fashioned Christ
mas carols, pealing out through the
cathedral-like spaces of these great
structures and upon pausing for a
moment they see that the singing
comes from a balcony overlooking the
concourse and that it is trained
choir of many voices which is thus
adding to the Christmas spirit in evil
dence everywhere.
The first Christmas carol is said to
be that sung by the heavenly host
when the birth of Christ was an
nounced to the shepherds. Here is a
description of that singing as told by
st. Luke:
There were In the same country
shepherds abiding in the field, keeping
watch over their flocks by night. And
10, the angel of the Lord came upon
them, and the glory of the Lord shone
round about them; and they were sore
afraid And the angel said unto them,
Fear not; for, behold, bring you good
tidings of great joy, which shall be to
all people. For unto you Is born this
day in the city Of David Savior,
which is Christ the Lord. And this
shall be sign unto you; We shall
find the babe wrapped in swaddling
clothes, lying in manger. And sud-
denly there was with the angel null
tit,:ie Of the heavenly host praising
God, and singing, Glory to God in the
highest, and on earth peace, good will
toward men,"
Probably the practice Of singing at
Christmas rose in Imitation Of this, as
the majority of the carols declare the
good tidings of great joy. The word
"carol" itself comes from two Latin
words meaning ito sing joyfully." Or
as 1t was defined long ago in curious
old stanza'

they need take second place to no
