Hardware • Because a church organ could not be Played, the whole world sings srifl appreciates the favorite carol, "Si- lent Night." For well over a hundred years it •has been sung, till, pow it has been translated into almost every known tongue and has been arranged for every type of musical instrument, Frans Gruber, organist in the church Which oceppigd the central place in , the square' in Oberndorf, nestled in the Bavorian Alps, made the startling. discovery that something Was wrong with,tke ehurchorgan and that not a note would come from it. To add to the difficulty,, the organ's condition had not been discovered till Christmas Eve...Oberndorf was snow- bound, It was not possible to go be- yond, the confines of the village to find someone who could repair the damaged instrument and Franz Gru- ber was almost in tears as he reflect- ed on Christmas without music. • To his pastor, Josef Mohr, he went with the sad story, and, in a last ges- ture of hope mingled with despair, he suggested that Mohr might compose a new Christmas song which could be sung without the use of the organ. Reading again the familiar Christ- Inas story, Mohr came upon the verse, "Unto you is born this day in the city of David 1, He sat meditating on these words long into the night, and, as if by Divine direction, set down on paper his thoughts, Gruber, early the next day, seized the manuscript and composed a Sirripla melody, finishing the task just as the congregation gathered In church for the Christmas service. Present was one villager who could pick out tunes on a guitar. He was asked to provide the accompaniment for the carol. The people of Oberndorf loved the song at once, and its fame, as well as Its words and music, soon spread out from the little valley, throughout Germany and Europe and finally to the other continents. Josef Mohr and Franz Gruber had given the world one of the most beautiful and best roved of Christmas carols. For many years it was known as, "Song from Heaven", but no matter which title it was known by, the carol soon found a warm place in the hearts of men and women everywhere and at the thought and sentiments which lie deep in the heart.
