Josef Mohr was a priest of implicit faith and child- like trust in the goodness of man. He had a close friend, Franz Gru- ber, who was versed in music -and dabbled now and then in compo-| sition. Between them they cemposed the world's-most simple and beau- tiful Christmas song-'Silent Night, Holy Night.' : The song is sung in practically all civilized tongues. Yet, little or no thoughts, are given to the poet and composer 'and the little town and.country in which they worked and lived. World at Peace Europe was at peace on Christ- mas eve, 1818. The Napoleonic wars were over and there was much happiness in the little town of Oberndorf, Austria. ; There was one minor note of sadness. The organ in the little church had finally given out and there would be no music for the traditional midnight mass: ' But the people of Oberndorf did not know that Mohr had written a poem and given it to his organ- ist Gruber. In a few hours during. the afternoon and evening of. De- -cember 23, 1818, Gruber set the |. 'words to music. : ; And strange as it may seem) Gruber used a guitar to provide 'the musical accompaniment. Thus was born-the song that is universally loved and which has made Mohr and Gruber immortal. Mohr died as vicar on Decem- 'ber 4, 1848, in Wagrein, Salzburg. | He was greatly loved and respect- ed, but so poor that the town had |to pay the funeral expenses. Franz Gruber fared a little bet- |ter, but according to our stand- jards both author and composer were as poor as the shepherds on; UE MEU UE NE MEM UR UE UE NE UR EUR UR SM USB ERS SE PS UU SPS KE DR A SM US TE EU ER VU VE EZ UU VE WUE UNE UE UE URE YE RE MEME UE UE UE TE OE UE URE RE ME EVE the fields near Bethlehem. - - - x | WANT ADS REAL ESTATE FOR SALE FOR SALE or EXCHANGE -- In Harris Township, R.R. 3, four miles from New Liskeard, one 40 acre and one 80 acre farm with stock and implements.
