A Christmas Carmen
Sing hymns that were sung by the stars of the morn.
The chorus of voices, the clasping of hands.
John Greenleaf Whittier
Sing songs of the angels when Jesus was born!
With glad jubilations
Bring bone to the nations!
The dark night is ending and dawn has begun.
Rise, hope of the ages, arise, like the sun,
All speech flow to music, all hearts beat as one!
Blow, bugles of battle, the marches of peace;
East, west, north and south, let the long quarrel cease;
Sing the song of great joy that the angels began.
*Sing of glory to God and of good will to man!*
*Hark, joining in chorus*
*The heavens bend 'er us!*
The dark night is ending and dawn has beast:
Rise, hope of the ages, arise like the sun
Rise, hope or in
the sun.
All speech flow to music, all hearts
beat as one!
FIRST CHRISTMAS TREE
THE conflict of Christianity with heathenism has produced dramatic incidents than those which have come down to us, half-history and half-myth, out of a severe swims of northern Europe, where the cross confronted a n d prevailed against the hammer TWO OF THE crises came on the crisis came
at Christmas, which happened to correspond with the Yule festival, at
London.
Longfellow has used one of these stories in "King Olaf's Christmas." Another, in which real religious fervor and moral heroism play a part, is the story of the first Christmas tree. There stands at Altenbergen, in northern Germany, an ancient church built on the slopes of Saint Boulance; and the place of the statue is said to be the site of the first Christian church in north Germany.
Boniface, who must not be confused with any of the nine pipes who bore the name, was a Briton by birth, and his name was Wynfrith. Declining high ecclesiastical honor, he chose to be a missionary to the rude tribes of the German forests. Of these tribes Tacitus tells us, and we know that he was an inducible in war and bloody in their worship, but that among their virtuose was a marked purity of private life and love of home.
Each year these people sacrificed to their gods. One of their holiest shrines was a great oak at Geismar. There they gathered at midnight at the winter solstice, and offered a fair offering to call back the reintering sun.
The legend says that when the tree fell, it left a young fir growing between the shattered branches, and unbroken by their fall. Boniface told them to take that tree to their banquet hall; to serve God with joy and feasting; and to take that tree down. The tree was with roots unsainted with blood, and with evergreen foliage for a symbol of immortality.
Thus they were assembled at the Yuletide in the year 724. As the midnight approached, an old priest raised the hammer to strike down the child. when Boniface interposed a strong arm and an eager wolf that had been seven hundred years before, and how he showed to men that they need offer no more bloody sacrifices. He told them of the love of God and the beauty of his service. The stern men heard and believed. Urged by the hero missionary, they hewed down the daybreak, the scene of so many sacrifices.
If part of the story is myth, it is not all myth; and it is surely a beautiful story. It is also one of the most beautiful of Christmas customs - Youth's Companion.
