Gods Great Love, Matthew 2:1-
12, for Sunday, Dec. 25:
How do the gifts of the wise men
compare with the Christmas gifts
of today?
How may we improve the cele"
bration of Christmas to make II
mean more in keeping with the
birth of Christ?
In what ways is the fact of there
being no room in the coming OF
Christ duplicated today?
Why regard the star that gulded
the wise men supernatural?
OF what significance was the 60
ing of another way by the wise men
after seeing Jesus?
Glorious says: christmas day is
the great reminder of the lndls-
putable fact of the birth OF Christ.
The day should bear witness to our
ccnsciences to the equally important
fact that he is still in the world to
be received or rejected of men,"
Lesson Prayer: "We want to ex-
perience a greater appreciation OF
the coming into the world OF the
Son of God in the form of child to
live an exemplary life before men
and to save us from sin. May the
memory of our Lord be kept fresh
daily, that we may live to please
Him"

CHRISTMAS CAROLS

We like to think that the first
carol ever sung was by the angel
chorus on that first Christmas eve,
nearly two thousand years ago,
when "Glory be to God on high,
and on earth peace, goodwill to
men" was caroled over the fields of
Bethlehem.
1t is not until the 18th century
that we find the beginning of the
true Christmas carol, and Italy is
its birthplace. Here the friars gath
cred around st. Francis of Assist,
tried to humanize the story Of the
gospel and composed songs about
the birth Of Christ, which they sang
around a creche or tableau, depict
ing the surroundings Of the holy
manger. a Franciscan, named Jaco-
pone da Todi, was the first writer of
carols. From Italy the carol spread
to Spain, France, England, and Ger
many, where it retained it's folk.
song qualities of legendary lore and
childlike simplicity, with strange
mingling Of reverence and genial
mirthfulness. The French Noel be-
gan to appear in the 18th century as
During the Reformation, the true
carols with their spontaneity and
festive element disappeared, to be
re placed later by the more sedate
and devotional hymns.
The beginning Of the 18th CEN
tury marks the transition from the
true carol to the more dignified and
solemn Christmas hymns, ''Adeste
Fideles" was composed probably in
France about 100 and is perhaps
best beloved Of the Christmas
hymns The 10th century brought
the beautiful "Stille Nacht, Heilige
Nacht,'' also 80 Little Town of
Bethlehem" written by our Phillips
Brooks and inspired by Christmas
eve spent by him in Bethlehem.
Thus the Christmas carols have
lived through the centuries. And
so, on Christmas eve, as the candles
burn in our windows, in remem-
brance of the Star of Bethlehem,
and we hear youthful voices caroling
these old familiar songs, let us re-
joice that we are preserving ideals
and traditions which will be forever
the heritage Of every Christian ma

Gods Great Love, Matthew 2:l-
u, for Sunday, Dec. 25:
Christmas has become too much a
secular occasion 1t commentaries
the birth of our Saviour, and we
should never forget that it's spiritual
significance is paramount.
v. /. 'sNow when Jesus was born
in Bethlehem of Judea in the days
of Herod the king, behold, there
came wise men from the east to Je-
rusalem." 1t was wise men who
first sought Jesus To seek him to
day is to be wise. They first came
to the place reputed to be city OF
God. He is found best today by the
way of the Christian church.
v. 2. Saying, Where is ne that
is born King Of the Jews? For we
have seen his star in the east ana
have come to worship him. There
was no doubt in their mind as to the
fact of, Christ's birth. They were
walking in the light of truth per-
ceived. There is nothing so fine in
all the universe as those holy lm-
pulses which lead men to seek jesus
Christ. All sorts Of interpretations
are given as to the star in the east.
Why not allow it to be supernat-
ural manifestation?
" 3. "And when Herod the king
had heard these things, he was
troubled, and all Jerusalem with
him" Herod was wicked king
and would brook no equal. He had
put to death several likely as
pirants to his office. There was
constant fear among the people as
to what he might do next.
VS.. 4. 5. "And when he had
gathered all the scribes and chleI
priests of the people together, ne
demanded of them where Christ
should be born. And they SAID unto
him, in Bethlehem Of Judea." me
Interpreters of the sacred writings
were the scribes and with the as
sistance of the chief priests, Heroo
could learn the desired facts. In
times of danger even wicked men
want to know the facts regarding
God and His will. The answer 10
his question was forthcoming. They
quoted the words Of Micah VINO
many years before said, "And thou
Bethlehem, in the land OF Judah'
art not the least among the princes
of Judah; for out of thee shall come
a Governor, that shall rule my peo-
pie Israel"
". z. "Then Herod, when he had
priyily called the wise men, inquired
of them diligently, what time the
star appeared" Herod had a sim
lister object in this question as ne
later sought to kill the child. Pos
sibly from this question he deter
mined to make the time two years
when ordering the Staying OF chill
dren in Bethlehem.
". s. "And he sent them to
Bethlehem, and said, Go and search
diligently for the young child:
when We have found him, bring me
word again, that I may come ana
worship him ALSO" Looking back
we can see the trap Herod was set
ting. OF course he lied when stat
ing he wanted to worship him also.

Editor Democrat: Seeing so

family The grandfather Of the gov
neighbors for 80 or more years,
having played the "violin" with him
many, many times, and he was a

Mr.. O'Daniel, ST., never, that I re-
member of, spoke of his first family
to me except that he had lost his
wife and had left the children With
the mothers people near Dresden,

neighborhood and married Miss
Mary Jane Campbell, who was the
mother of three children, one boy
and two girls, and into this family

Governor w. Lee O'Daniel, Of Tex

Now as to J. S. Torbert's mother:
Along about 1890 there was an old
ish lady who did house work for
people in the Rosseau Ringgold
neighborhood, known by name as
"Ann Torbert,' and, as we remem~
ber, was j. S. Torbert's mother, and
