'For Christian believers, each of these -- light, music, prayer--has a special mean- ing associated with Christ- mas. "And lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went be- fore them, till it came and stood over where the young - child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with ex- besting great joy." Matthew 2:9-10. The Star that guided the Wise Men shines as symbol of Christ, the Light of the world, and it in turn is sym- 'bolized by all the bright lights that twinkle at Christmas today. Candlelight services reflect the radiance of the holiday, in Christian observances ev- erywhere, That the words of the an- gels composed the first of all Christmas carols is a thought repeated again and again in favorite songs of the season. "Hark! the Herald Angels -- Sing" makes this thought its theme, and another familiar carol, "It Came upon the Midnight Clear," is devoted to "that glorious song of old," on the night when "the world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing." Christmas music in the churches celebrates the joy of the Nativity. "And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with down, and worshipped him." Matthew 2:11. "And the shepherds re- turned, glorifying and prais- ing God for all the things that they had heard and seen, -as it was told unto them." Luke 2:20. Thus wrote two of Christ's disciples, Matthew and Luke, telling of the awe and won- der, the joy and reverence experienced alike by wise men and shepherds, Especially at Christmas, in church services and private devotions, Christians give prayerful thanks to God, for the miracle of the manger.
