Around the representation of the first Christmas, villagers gathered to marvel, pray and sing. Often, the, creche was constructed in a churchyard or on a public street. Thus it was natural ior the worshippers to stroll away from the devotional service — formal pr-informal— and continue singing the beloved carols as they made their way home. •--.,• This spontaneous action may- well have led to the custom of going from place to place to, sing carols. And the m'ore music, the better, was the rule. Any musical Instru­ ment, however humble, was a welcome addition and accompaniment. In la'ter centuries, the "wassailing" or "gooding" expeditions helped the growth of caroling. Singers went from house to house, receiving treats as rewards .for carols. Even oppression could not put an end to carol singing. When the Puritans abolished Christmas observances in England, printed sheets of carols were bootlegged for a penny. And poets and musicians went right on composing carols, as they do today. \Tinii iirmi: ws IIIN: When Christ was born Little Jesus touched the in Bethlehem kings from blooms with his tiny fin­ far-away lands came bear­ gers andlsehold! the petals ing gifts of great rarity flushed rosy pink!

Believing that music was a part of religion, he held week­ ly songfests ior children in New Paris, Ohio: Sirice he was short of money, when the chil­ dren needed a new song, he wrote it himself.
