Our early settlers brought with them the carols of Europe. Perhaps the most universal carol is "O Come, All Ye Faithful” (Adeste Fidelis) which has been translated into hundreds of languages and dialects and belongs to no one nation. Germany was responsible for Luther’s hymn for children, “Away in a manger, no crib for a bed ..." England provided "God "Rest , You, Merry Gentlemen ...” And from France came the beautiful "Cantique de Noel" or "O Holy Night" Three of our greatest carols were written by Americans. “It Came Upon A Midnight dear" was written by Edmund H. Sears, a Massa chusetts Unitarian minister, in 184fi. Dr. John Henry Hopkins, Jr., Episcopal rector from Williamsport, Pa., composed the words and music for "We Three Kings of Orient Are." Author of “O Little Town of Bethlehem" was Phillip Brooks, a young Episcopal minister who later became bishop of Massachusetts. He was inspired to write the poem after a trip to the Holy Land. Although non-religious, the rollicking “Jingle Bella” also came from* the pen of a churchman, John Plerpoint, almost a century ago. if. SANTAS A’PLENTY ...

Festive desserts play a big part in the celebration of the Christmas holiday and no other treats are more associated with this holiday than plum pudding and mince meat pie. The origin of the plum pudding is lost in history, but popular legend explains it this way: Once upon a time, an English king went hunting on Christmas Eve. A sudden blizzard blocked the paths of the forest and the hunters became lost One member of the party, the cook, was charged with the task of preparing dinner from whatever food he could find. In desperation, he literally threw “everything” into the pot—the re mains of a stag chopped into fine bits, flour, birds’ eggs, dried plums, ale, brandy, sugar and meat from some wild game. Soon, to his surprise and delight, he had a delicious, hot "pudding” and to this day, true plum puddings have all of these ingredients which our quick-witted hunter put into Ms cooking pot. Mince Meet Pie The tasty mince, meat pie waa originally devised by the Puritans as a religious offering and was served with a tiny figure of the Christ child in its center. The earliest known racipa dates from the reign of James I In the early 17th century. At that the pie was filled with beef tongue, chop ped chicken, eggs, raisins, orange Tm ShraM B* Sit* At W*ll at Prttty Make sure your Christmas tree this year is as safe as it is attrac tive. The way to do it is to keep the butt of the tree in water while it’s in the house. Keeping the tree in water will help to prevent dryness that may mean a fire hazard. It will also keep the needles from dropping so rapidly. When you select your tree, try to find out how long it has been cut. It will last longer if it has been cut recently. Balsam fir makes the best Christmas tree, but Douglas fir is nearly as good. Becoming increas ingly popular are the pine trees— Scotch, red, white and jack— which hold their needles from two to four weeks. Spruce trees will holrf their needles only from three to ten days in the house. are tongk theee day* tor various Mthe< haje II eeator.
