CAROLS THAT LIVE THROUGH
CENTURIES
WELCOME TO SUN It is possible that in the early hours of Christmas morning you were disturbed by some singers, alleged or otherwise, who besought you as a Christian to awake and salute the happy morn. It is probable that the songs that were sung to j'ou were written by some unknown composer long before the days of Bach or Handel. The first Christmas carol was in no sense a hymn. It was really a dance at Avhich songs were sung. We have a simple example of the idea to-day when children play "ring-a-ring-a-Jroses."
