The Rev. Mr. Kelsey said the carol Little Town of Bethle hem," was written by Bishop Phil lips Brooks while rector of the Church of the Holy Trinity in Phil adelphia.

He was asked by his Sunday school children to write a Christmas song, so in 1868 he wrote the hymn. The tune was furnished by Lewis H. Rednef, church organist, Sunday school superintendent and a class teacher. The pastor explained that St. Francis of Assisi was the first person to make the carol popular.

"In 1233 he wished to inspire the people with greater religious fervor and received permission from the Pope to set up a Nativity scene in the little village of Greccio, near Assisi," the pastor said. Story Enacted "He caused a sensation by having live animals in a stable, complete with hay. Persons acted the story. Crowds flocked to the church and St. Francis conducted the service, singing the Christmas story and giving the sermon.

"Some people say that the carols are the laymen's most beautiful contribution to his religion. The fifteenth century marked the real beginning of carols, a definite break from the chants and prayers of the church."

Unless all parts of your decora tive sets appear to be in the best order, throw them away and buy new ones, is the inspector's advice. Don't use sets intended for indoor use, out-of-doors. Precau-tions regarding quality of insu lation are particularly important to avoid shock when outdoor trees, exposed to rain and snow, are de corated.
