ZIERE is scarcely a church of any denomination that does not some time durlns r the Christmas season echo to the strains otthst beauti- Iul and soul-inspiring Yum!» '0- come all ye faithful." It seems to be a iavorite at. Yuletide in ever)‘ 3mg mg m every clime. whether it is sung as above reierred to, or in its original form as the "Adeste Fldelis.” -

The hymn was first given to the world in the Thirteenth century by a Franciscan monk. but did Mi? gain world-wide popularity 101' "- long time sitcr. The Enslieh "ans- latlon .was made by Canon Fred- erick Oakley over sixty Y9K" 98°- Since that time the hymn has been translated into the langllfle 01 every nation and the sweet and loity words ring out at Christmas time in many remote places.

But while the Enslllh truism‘ tion has superseded the original Latin to s great extent. Wt "l9 beauty of the original composition is such that there are many who still prefer to hear it even though the language is not their own- Katherine Edelman.
