Reason and bliservatten and inference
and probability have in every age led
spiritually minded thinkers to expect a 'manifestation of Godin human form on

that tender mercy, would not leave man in weakness and darkness to. stumble

iiN the matter of Christmas
carols Mr. T. 0. Crippen,_
an English authority on
th s fascinating subject, in lobo
O'London," points out the often -
forgotten distinction between a
hymn and a carol. A hymn is
devotional; a carol is a popular.

•'treatment of a religiou$ subject,
though, actuallyo carol need not
be religious at all. Mr, Crippeh
pointe out that the„earliest Eng-
lish. Christmas carol, written in
the Anglo-Norman dialect of
the twelfth century, is "Lord..
lings, Christmas loves , good

bearing. Many Many carols have

than Christmas, but 'these are
neglected, Italy was the birth -
plate of the true carol, and Mr
Crippen holds that the actual
originators were St Francis of
Assisi and his followers, who dig*

Mr. Crippen says that the
