Illuminated Christmas Tree on Front Laton
W0 Qwe Extra Beauty to Your Home
r
AN nXmONATED tree in IroM
^ of • houM always makas H
look mora “homey** (» Quristmaa
fva. It need not necessarily ba a
pine or fir tree—it may be any eve^
ireen standing apart or in shrub*
{bery hugging the house.
Tbe lighted tree enr shrub not only
. Imakes ^e bpma more bMi
^ *iBl, but also serves as 4 d^
jooi^bution to the community
- Christinas spirit.
There is, of course, a right and a
.wrong way to do this, as there is in
!^ing everything else. The ordinary
(-^findoor Christmas tree lighting sets
•are not apt to prove very satisfac*
Itory, although often they serve the
ipurposa. But much more often their
axposura jU> the elements spalls their
doom. Far one thing the lamps are
quite small, and alM because ^e
cord or wire is not properly pro*
tected by rubber or other safety in
sulation that will aid it in withstand-
dof the uBCortain weather of Christ
mas week.
In buying such an illuminating set
II is, dierefere,'necessary to tell Uie
tiectrician from whom you are pur-
'chasing it for what purpose it is in-
tsoded, and ask him to suggest the
best way to connect it
; If it is to be plugged in on your
Ihouse lighting circuit, midce certain
jthat the total wattage of the set does
■not ptill the full capacity of the cir
cuit. Particularly if that is a cir
cuit frequently used for heating,
cooking appliances, operating a pi
ano or a phonograph or serving a
chargsr ftfr the mdlb. Otherwise,
it may cause you considerable an
noyance blowing fuses.
It win not be necessary to place
any ornaments upon the tree, al
though a very few might improve
the appearance. It is advisable net
to place too many lights upon the
tree* If they are close together, the
real beauty of the tree mav be lost.

HELPFUL HYMNS
FOR CHRISTMAS
Many hymns of great beauty and
helpfulness have been written on
Christmas, and it is well to read
these again and again, and especially
when commemorating this seaoton.
It was in 1702 that Nahum Tate
wrote the lollowing hymn:
While shepherds watched their flocks
by night.
All seated on the ground,
' The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone aroimd.
“Fear not,’* said he, for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind;
“Glad tidings of great joy I bring
“To you and aU mankind.
“To you, in David’s town, this day
“Is bom of David’s line,
“The Saviour who is Christ the Lord;
“And this shall be the sign:
!“The heavenly Babe you there shall
find .
‘To human view displayed,
“All meanly wrapped in swathing
bands,
“And in a manger laid.’’
Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God, who thus
Addressed their loyful song.
“All glory be to God on h4glr~
“And on the earth be peace;
“Good will henceforth from heaven
to man ^
“Begin and never cease.*'
HAUL THE HHBAIJy ANGELS
SING
Among the heal known Christmas
hymns is that ci Charles Wesley,
“Hark, the Herald Angels Sing,**
written in 1739:
Hark, the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King.
Peace on earth and merry inikl,
God and siimers reconciled.
Joyful, all ye nations rise, ,
Join the triumph in the skies;
With the angelic host proclaim
Christ is bom in Bethlehem.
Hark, the herald angels sing.
Glory to the newborn King.
Christ, by highest heaven adored;
Chr^, everlasti^ Lord;
Late in time ^hold him come, j
Offspring of the Virgin’s womb. j
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see; |
Hail the Incarnate Deity. |
Pleased as Man with man to dwell; |
Jesus, our Emanuel. |
Hark, the herald angels sing, . ,
Glory to the newborn King.
Mild He lays His glory by.
Bom that man no more may die.
Bom to raise the sons of earth.
Bom to give them second birth.
Light and life to all He brings.
Risen with healing in His wings, |
Hail, the Son of Righteousness, '
Hail, the heaven-bom Prince of I
Peace.
Hark, the herald angels sing, j
Glory to the newborn King. |
O, LITTLE TOWN pF BETH
LEHEM
' Then in 1868 Phillips Brooks wrote
the following well known hymn:
O, little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is bom of Mary,
And gathered all above, -
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth.
And (H-aiseaLsingL to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
I I
How silently how silently.
The wondrous gift is given.
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heaven.
Ho ear may hear his coming.
But in this world of sin.
Where meek souls will receive, still
The dear Christ enters in.
Oh holy child of Bethlehem,
Descend to ^ we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in.
Be bora in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tiding tell;
O come to us, abide with us.
Our Lord Emmanuel, Amen.
SILENT NIGHT. HOLT NIGHT
Probably the most popular of all
Christmas hymns is “Silent Night,
Holy Night,’’ written in 1818 by Jo-
Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright, I
’Round yon Virgin Mother and Child, j
Holy Infant, so tender and mild j
Sleep in heavenly peace.
.1
Silent night, holy night, |
Shepherds quake at the sight, |
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia;
Christ, the Saviour is born.
Silent night, holy night.
Son of God, love’s pure Light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.
JOY TO THE WORLD, THE LORD
IS COME
This appropriate Christmas song i
was written by that great composer,
Isaac Watts, in 1719.
Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room.
And heaven and nature sing.
Joy to the world! the .Saviour reigns;
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills
and plains ^ •
• Repeat the sounding joy.
He rules the world with truth and
grace.
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love.
