SEC. A, PAGE! 4—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thurs., Dec. 25, 1969 Woman’s Club hears program on yule music The Woman’s Club met on December 11 at the home of Miss Julia Kibler. The meeting was opened with the reading of the club collect, led by Mrs. Fred Dominick, president. Mrs. Gordon Blackwell, pro gram chairman, introduced Miss Julia Kibler who presented a most inspiring program, “Christ mas Music Around the World.” Miss Kibler limited her topic to the European nations, our ancestors. Tracing the important periods from Christ's birth into a Rom an World during the reign of Augustus, she illustrated each period by use of Christmas songs and hymns. The club members joined in singing an American hymn, “0 Little Town of Beth lehem” written by an Episco pal Bishop, Philips Brooks, in 1818. Two famous Latin songs that have been translated and are now popular, “In Dulci Jub- ilo\ a 14th century German melody, and “Adeste Fideles”, an 18th century melody, wen then sung. Miss Kibler '.old that the Cath olic Church was developing in all the countries that the Rom ans had conquered, and Rome had helped Christianity spread. Thus, various reformations a- rose, leading to the discussion of the Period of the Reforma tion. Leaders during this period were John Calvin, a Frenchman and John Knox, a Scotchman, about 1500-1575. At this point Miss Kibler asked all of the Presbyterian club members to join in singing “The First Noel”, a 17th century French and Eng lish carol. Following this she played a delightful recording by a Canadian Children's Choir of “Angels We Have Heard on High”, a French melody. The Period of Revival in tlu Church of England, headed by the Wesleys in 1729, was next discussed as the Methodist mem bers of the club sang “Hark, the - Herald Angels Sing,” written by Charles Wesley. Christianity came to Ger many in the 7th century, at which time Winifred the mis sionary and later Pope Boniface were leaders The Christmas tree developed from the Druids worship of the oak at the win ter solstice. In the early 16th century Martin Luther set up a fir tree at home. Soon the tree became popular with Protes tants. In this connection. Mrs. A.G.D. Wiles read in German, the words to “0 Tannenbaum, 0 Tannenbaum” with great feel ing after which the club sang the English version, “0 Christ mas Tree, 0 Christmas Tree”. "All Praise to Thee Eternal Lord”, a Latin hymn of the 11th century and translated by Luth er about 1520, was sung by the club. Miss Kibler noted that mang er scenes, made from wood, molded from wax or clay, were first started by St. Francis of Assisi in Italy in 1224. He was rather disillusioned by the world ly extravagances of the Mir acle plays, and felt that these simple manger scenes would be important. A most pleasing reading of the German version of “Silent Night”, written by Joseph Mohr in 1818, was rendered by Mrs. Wiles. The members then sang this together in English. The program was conlcuded with a recording of “Allelulia” from Bach’s Christmas Cantat- ta No. 142. Mrs. Dominick dispensed with the business session and the meeting adjourned.

Every person should call ahead before going to the social security office to put in a claim for social security payments. “We can tell the person what to bring with him,” said Mr. Spiller.
