< Tile exact origin ot the 'word "carol" ~is somewhat obscure and has been the surbject ol niucll discus- 'sion and investigation, with no rposi- tive results. The majorty of us are perfectly willing to let the seers do the quibbling over the niatter, split hairs. as ’twere, and accept the word and its implication for what they memi to us. Concerning arguments on the subject, the word is claimed by some, who claim they know, to be oi' Latin derivation, ‘by others equally sure to he Welsh. and again by some students the idea is brought forward that it rerept into the French language from the speech oi’ the Guuls, and thus -wus czii'l'iod t0 England.

Among tho earliest relics are some

ton before the reign oi' Eliznbotli. The very first one we know about is "A Cnrrolle of Huntyiige," com- posed by ar prioress of St. Alrbans. Charles d'0rleuns, the gay French captive, composed u nuinrber ot de- lightful Anglo-Noriiian chansons while ianguisliiiig in prison in 1415, but he is not regarded as sponsor of the word carol as we know lt. Tho lot-in is ordlnarly significant of joy or oxultution; and or dovotioii accord- ing to Shakespeare and Milton.

'i‘iiere are three types of carol ~-

ecclesiastical. popular and festive.

The Ainbrosien Te_ Deuin, Cliarleni_agne’s hymn and Veni Cre. ator ‘Stpirltus are also good typos ot the sublime, gloriousfchaiits. Among _the festive carols are "The Boar‘s Head," `with which all England sings its way through the night be- fore Christmas, and another equally popular oiie, "God Rest You Merry Gentlemen.” “Good King Wences- laus" and “Royal Day That Clinsest Gionni' are two examples oi" the populumzurols, many of which have crept ilito usage for church ceiebar- tions. t ‘ ` The custom of caroling on Christ- mas eve is primarily a_prnr:tico_ be-A longing to England, rparticul.li'ly lil the western and northern sections indeed there is very little of it in Scotland and in thc western parts of
