The lullabys crooned by the young
mother in the stiffness of the moments
when the divine child was lulled to
sleep have had no listener who passed
them on to an eager world. What could
have been the burden of the intimate
things of which the mother sang when
the restless world was shut away and
the two, closely entwined, communed
together, with the knowledge of their
destiny lowering about them. Did she
sing Him tender baby songs that made
no reference to His divinity or did
she praise Him as her God and sing
her fidelity as she held Him close and
soothed His earthly WEAKNESS? Did she
beg Of Him to spare her the suffering
she knew awaited them or did she en-
courage Him in tender human fashion
to bear the terrible human agony fore
ordained for Him? The lullabies that
.soothed the sacred child were never
heard by profane ears.
In the life of Christ there must have
been much music. Descended from the
greatest singer of all times, the psalm
list David, and His advent into the
world proclaimed by the singers from
His heavenly home, there was human
and divine heritage Of music woven
into the scheme of His existence on
earth. In the childhood years of the
Lord, what were His childish pleasures,
what were His childish songs? Was
the soul of the young Saviour too sad
for singing or did He fashion Himself
songs from a heavenly source whisp.
cred by angels or did He sing the songs
Of His people heard on the lips of His
companions? In the synagogue did He
praise His Father after the manner of
David and to the tune Of the lutte and
was His sacred voice heard when He
read from the scriptures. The songs
the Saviour sang have vanished.
Yet the music of that sacred time
Is not lost. for it Is born again In the
hearts of the great composers. Bit by
bit the melody that was heard the first
Christmas night has come back to us
distilled from the pens of the specially
chosen, and who is there to say it is
chOirs? The inexplicable urge of mel
ody. the grandeur of musical thought,
the loftiness of inspiration must sure
ly be from the same source as was
the music that was heard but once on
earth.
1t was not without intent that the
message of peace was sent out on the
wings Of song" for that is the power
of music-to bring peace. Nor was 1t
by chance that the melody came from
the heavens, for ever the inward eyes
of the soul turn heavenward under
the influence Of great earthly music.
The radiance Of the star shines in the
heart under the touch of melody and
the soul expands to fuller compre-
hension of the promises for eternity.

BRUNO SCHOOL NOTES

team chalked up its second victory of
the season last Friday night by de-
feating an inexperienced Finlayson
team by a score of "a to 7 on the
Finlayson floor. The visitors dropped
in IL field goals and ten free throws
while Finlayson made three field
goals and one free throw. Three Fin
layson players were elected from the

The Bruno high schools basketball
team journeyed to Sandstone Tuesday
afternoon, Dec. II, and downed the
Quarry City quint by the close score
of II to 16. The scoring started i'm
mediately after the first whistle when

and dribbled, unguarded, for the first
field goal of the game. At half time
the visitors enjoyed an to 2 lead.
Sandstone rallied during the second
half and by the end of the game had
cut the Bruno lead to a single point.
A small but enthusiastic crowd wit
messed the contest.
The win over Sandstone gives the
Bruno boys three victories out of four
starts. They dropped the first contest
of the season to Moose Lake but since
that time, they have won from Willow
River, Finlayson, and Sandstone IN
the order named.
On Friday evening, Dec. IA, Bruno
