What's happening inside Russia?

Vehement denials of the death OF
Marshal Stain were followed final
ly by admission that the man who
had more power than any car could
boast of was weary. That he was

Of his responsibilities.
1t is interesting to note the reac-
ton in this country. The wishful
thinking of those who first an
nourced the death rumor over the
air and in print was not reflected in
official Washington.
The very day before the first story
appeared a high government official
expressed the opinion in my hearing
that the hope for understanding be-
tween the United States and Russia
depended largely on Stain. This was
after the long series Of disagree
ments beginning with the breakup
of the Foreign Ministers meeting in
London. the refusal of Russia to take
active part in the United Notions

made by the members of the United

be the one answer which Russia's
representatives had to offer to the
suggestions made by the American
and other governments.
When the real history Of the in

with the Moscow conference which
Secretary of State Hull attended,

Stain, frequently against the advice
of his councillors, was the one who
broke the deadlocks and proposed or
accepted compromises which were
made necessary by his W COL

invitations to the meeting at San

Famous Christmas Carols
Have Story Behind Them

beautiful hymn, which children
sing the world over, came to us
from Germany. Martin Luther
wrote both the music and words
for his small son, Hans, John>,
for Christmas Eve festival. Luz
Their, the son of miner, was born
in small German village. He Low
ed music from earliest childhood
and had unusual talent. He sang
well and played both the flute and
the lutte. The story is told that at
Christmas time he used 10 sing
under the windows of the wealthy
people. They would toss coins to
him and he Guther) in turn gave
them to the poor to help make
Christmas happier for them.
5. Joy To The World: This happy
Christmas hymn came to us from
England. 1t was written by Isaac
Watts in 1719. Watts is best known
because of his hymns for children.
At his death a monument to his
was put in Westminster
Abbey, the highest honor an Eng
ishman can receive. The monu-
ment pictures Watts writing while
angels whisper songs in his ears.
6. O Little Town Bethlehem;
This lovely carol is one of our
very own. Most OF our songs,
customs and traditions have come
to us from other lands). AS we
sing this we may think back with
gratitude to Phillips Brooks who
wrote this christmas Carol after
he had visited the little town of
Bethlehem where Jesus was born.
In that year he was the young rec
tor of the Church of the Holy Trim
ity, EpiscopaD in Philadelphia.
Later he became one of the best
loved American preachers. Phillips
Brooks had spent a year travelling
abroad, visiting the Holy Land in
December. On Christmas Eve he
went to Bethlehem, the scene of
Jesus birth. He saw the shep-
herds keeping watch over their
flocks," just as they had on that
night when the angeles came to
tell them of Jesus birth. He at
tended a midnight Christmas serv-
ice in the Church of the Nativity,
built at the spot Were-it-is believed
Jesus was born. Three years later
after Phillips Brooks had returned
to his church in Philadelphia, he
The Wilmington morning star., 1945-12-25

wanted Christmas song for the
children of his Sunday School. The
beautiful scenes of the Holy Land
were still in his memory. So he
wrote verses describing the little
town of Bethlehem as he had seen
it sleeping under the stars.
When he had finished the song,
he took it to Lewis H. Redner, his
organist and Sunday School super
intendent, and asked him to COM
pose a tone for the carol so the
children could sing it on Christmas
day.
Redner worked hard all the
week trying to compose the right
tune. He went sadly to bed on
Christmas Eve for he must disap-
point his pastor and the children
of his Sunday School. Suddenly he
was awakened in the night by a
strain ringing in his ears. He got
up and wrote it down. The next
morning the lovely carol was sung
by the Sunday School children IN

/. Silent Night, Holy Night:
This is perhaps our most beloved
and most frequently sung CHI st
mas carol; it came to us from Ger
many, well over hundred years
ago. On Christmas Eve in 1913, a
young priest, Joseph Mohr, sat in
his church study wishing ne mad
something special for midnight
mass. The still ness OF the night
and the beauty of the snoWclad
mountains inspired him to write
this beautiful carol. On Christmas
morning he hurried to the nome
of a friend who was organlst at
his little church and asked him
to compose the music for the verse
he had written. His friend loved
the words and was happy to have
an opportunity to compose the
melody. After he had completed 1t,
the two men sang it over and over
again. and that night, Christmas
1Ght, they sang it for the villagers
vho came to worship together IN
The little mountain church. The
song was loved and was passed on
from one music lover to another.
Twenty four years later it was pub
ished and written in other Ian
euages so that it could be sung the
world over.
2. O Came All Ye Faithful. The
origin of this hymn is uncertain,
but it is generally believed that it
came to us from France about one
hundred years ago.
3. Hark The Herald Angles Sing:
This beautiful hymn came to us
from England. Charles Wesley
wrote the words. The joyous ring
ing of the church bells as he walk
ed to church one Christmas morn
ing inspired him to write them.
His love for music and his ability
to write grew out of his early home
training. He was one Of nineteen
children. His family lived too far
from the good schools for the
children to attend so his mother
taught all of the children. Each of
them were taught the Lords Pray
Or as soon as they could speak and
each were taught to read at very
early age, From childhood Charles
grew to love music and poetry,
and he became one of the great
est of all hymn writer's.
