_JHE long journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem ... ||
a new Star in the sky... heavenly music above
the bills of Judea ... the flutter of angel wings m

f_ Cil Joseph and the new-born Child ...
the coming of the Wise Men, with their gifts of gold, frankin
cense and myrrh . ..
/ From these inspiring things the Song of Christmas war
fashioned more than twenty centuries ago. The years have added
new notes of happiness. Carols and song upon the air... can*

t No great symphony or composition can match the Song of
S
Christmas. It rises above the clatter and roar of the city; it
throbs through the scattered town and hamlet; it sings through
the sunlit islands of the South; it permeates the frozen wastes ^ ]
of the Northland. In ever-widening volume its strains echo
around the world.
Before its magic the hosts of darkness take flight. It touches
the slumbering chords of memory; it heals old hurts and scars;
; it binds loved ones in a closer and deeper tie. There are no
! < friendless or forsaken within its sound; under its influence the

strong reach out to help the weak. Peace and Love and Joy, these &
are its-loudest notes, and they are for all men. For the Song of
Christmas is the greatest of all songs because it is understood
