It is it tdi holiday season that the impulse to sing grip* everyone, from the ; arooning infant to the oldest and |«host confirmed "monotone." - There are many kinds of carols, •ome for every mood and taste. [Hymns or chants celebrating the Nativity have bean sang since the earliest days of Christian church. Some of the carols, like "Deck the Hall with Boughs of Holly," "Good King Wenceslas" and the wassailing songs, have no direct relation to the Nativity, yet they are fully expressive of various pfeases of the Christmas spirit. Bast loved juift, most frequently , lung i let of Germany, :ta 1UI that this beautiful song was wOrkL, was written by Phillips Brudfcf, aHoston minister. OA a trip te the Holy Land* Brooks stood on the starlit hills on Christmas Ifte and looked down iipon the little city of Bethlehem lying still and peaceful in the night. On the next Christmas, back In America, he wrote the song that was to become famous: • ^OUt^a (MM of BatbUbeii ---- Cw Ml w* M* thee lie.. .fV Written tor Sunday school singing, the song at first was anonymous but, when the hymn gained immediate favor, Brooks admitted authorship. Matty musical settings of this beautiful poem hive been made, the two most commonly used being by the English composer, Joseph Baraby, and the American eompoMr, Louis H. Redner.

A young priest, Father Joeef Mohr, was returning from the "bedaide of a parishioner when he .looked down upon the sleeping hamlet surrounded by snow. It lay there aBapt hi the dark night, lighted only by the bright stars and a few glimmering candles. That first Christmas, he thought, must have been - X^e this and there came to him these ' Words: £ "SU*m$ Night, Holy Night/ g? AM it MM, aU it bright , . ." • f f c ! ' ^ i Mln hia study he finished the verses, men took them to Franz Gruber, the organist, who caught the spirit of '• hymn. "Silent Night" was sung for the first time in the little wooden church in Obernadorf that Christmas Eve. Later a group of Austrian Ty^-nl mountain folksong singers introduced the carol to other parts of the world, including America. Published in 1840, it has been translated into almost every language and is s favorite througb- Ha»t the world. • "Oh, Come All Ye Faithful" or Adeste Fideles" is another hymn Of the ages which apparently is destined to live for centuries. It has been translated into 76 languages. The words are sometimes ascribed to St. Bonaventura, bishop ' Of Albano, in the thirteenth century.0 It is most commonly believed, however, that it was not written until the seventeenth or eighteenth centory. The hymn often is called the Portuguese hymn because it was f** in the Portuguese chapel in • London about 1785 to the tune now inseparable from it: > imOb com*, all y* faithful, joyful and ; | trimmpbant; i* IIIOb coma ye, ob com* y* to Betbla- A\ - • tha American song which carries e spirit of Christmas is the sweet and beautiful carol, "It Cfime Upon the Midnight Clear." The poem was written by Edmund H. Sears, a New England minister, in a religious Journal. The music is by the American oomposer, Richard S. Willis, who was struck by the unusual beauty of the poem and "just set 4t>wn the notes that fit the words": [~:HU earn* mfion th* midmigbt clear That glorious tong of old . . ." One of the most popular Yuletide %mns, "It Came Upon the Midnight Clear" follows the traditional carol Style. The first two stanzas depict the angels hovering over the earth £d singing their Joyous song, the rd brings words of comfort to the qreary and the fourth prophesies the happy days when all the world Shall join in the angel's song. ' "O Little Town of Bethlehem," $iother American contribution to e famous Christmas aongs of 'tha Isaac Watts the honor of being the greatest producer of hymns. His "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," first published in 1739, is among the most popular Christmas carols although it has undergone many changes. "Hark! th* herald angels $img, Glory to th* wwioni Kmg . . The music is by that distinguished composer, Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy and hence was written long after Wesley died. Watts' principal contribution to the world's holiday joy is the carol, "Joy to the World." The tune, "Antioch," is an adaptation of Handel's oratorio, "Messiah." "Joy to tho world, tht Lord it com*; L*t earth receive bar King ..." Watts, too, was a minister. While officiating as pastor of Market Lane church in England his,health failed although he was still a young man. He turned to writing verse and became a great poet. "The First Noel," meaning the first Christmas, is one of the oldest songs about the coming of Christ. One of the ancient medieval carols, it probably is about 400 years old. The poetry is crude, merely a peasant's attempt to' present the New Testament story in rhyme (thus making it easy to remember) but thoroughly sincere and devout. The mqsic likewise is simple, being practically one little strain sung three times, but it is vigorous, joyous, fresh and virile. *; Tha firtt Noal th* Amgat did m Wat to certain poor ibephardt w fields at they lay ..." Caroling or wassailing is an old, English custom. The original words of this traditional English Christmas song began "Here we come a-wassailing" and continued in the chorus. "Love and joy come to you, and to your wassail too." The old song commonly was sung by groups of revelers, particularly young women, who went about offering a hot drink, a merry song and a pretty curtsey in exchange tor a small gift. The word "wassail", comes from the Anglo-Saxon "Waes hael," meaning "Be in health." And, of course. Merry (Jhristmat would be less merry to both childrer and adults without that little jingle. "Jingle Bells," to jingle all the way though the Yuletide season with it* mythical one-horse sleigh--which in most parts of America belongs to another day. But, sans the sleigh bells and the sleigh, who is there, i child or adult, who does not love that gay and rollicking Christmas ditty to which dear old Santa claus comes skimming into town or to isolated country homes behind his sight reindeer. toHtf from cancer has hrcraased steadily in IUlnoia. daring the past tan yean. ^Deaths from canetr among all age groups stood at 1&84? in 1946, as compared with |NI in 1986, an increase of 4S per cent; in ten years, or an average inenfta#* of about 4 per cent annually.
