O Holy Child of Bethlehem Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and â€"enter in Be born in us toâ€"day. We hear the heavenly angels The great glad tidings tell, O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Immanuel. How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven: No ear may hear his coming; But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will reeive Him, still The dear Christ enters in.

The short sections are gathered into little bunches and wired onto the wire foundation. Strong green cord can be used to fasten them on, too, wrapping it over and over around the frame. Small wire is better if obtainable. Another way of making a wreath is to wire each small bunch cf the greens onto # tootpick, then stick these into the mossâ€"covered framework. But for this method there must be a frameâ€" work an inch or two! broad instead of a single wire circle. Holly, spruce, Douglas fir, cedar, and many of the ornamental nursery varieâ€" ties of evergreens may be used to make the wreath. T‘rv The Advance Want Advertisements The custom of sending greeting cards is perhaps the youngest member in the family of Christmas traditions, alâ€" though the ideal was expressed by the Excelsis Deo of the angels. Until authoritiese at the British museum recently discovered a drawâ€" ing depicting four scenes of holiday celebration â€" early Victorian style â€" dated 1842, J. C. MHorsley was acâ€" credited with having created the first commercial Christmas card in 1843. The 1842 creation was an elaborate affair. Drawn by W. M. Edgley, it inâ€" cludes scenes of a dinnerpartyâ€" featuring the plum pudding, a group of carol singers, a crowd watching a Punch and Judy show, a panel of slkâ€" hatted and caneâ€"toting ice skaters, dancers doing a Roger de Coverlyâ€" the Victorian Congaâ€"and evidence that the poor must not be forgotten. It is impossible to say whether or not Mr. Horsley was aware of Edgley‘s masterpiece, but Horsley had a friend and thereby hangs the tale. Sir Henry Cole, a man with many friends, was confronted by the task of sending them a cheery holiday greeting. The quill pens in use a century ago sputtered and were irritating, so Sir Henry spoke to Horsley about the matter. Horsley, a member. of the Royal Academy in London, was agreeably impressed and turned out an appropriate design inâ€" scribed simply "A Merry Christmas and Greeting Cards First Used in the Victorian Era more map shape, is the meri able.
