CHRIS Relates Story 0f “Silent Night” An inspiring address on the fa- mcus Christmas carol, "Silent Night" was given st Rotary lunch- eon yesterday by the Rev. Canon E.M.' Malone. rector of St. Peter's Cathedral. ‘The progtanuna was made more enjoyable by the musical contrib- utions of Mrs. 0.1M. Fear. Mone- ton, and Mr. L.J. Mcfseilan. 8t. John. who wan warmly applauded for their sibling. Other guests present included Messrs N-A. MacLellan, O R. Sim- ons. Walter LcPlIe, Rev. TJLB. Bomers, C.H.J. Filer. JP. Sim- monds, WA. Gaudet. James B. Palmer, and Lorne l-l. MacPar- lane. Roterlans RJI. Rogers and R12. Mutch were joint chairmen. Following is the text of Rev. Canon Malone’: address: Each year as I am called upon to speak to the Rotary‘ Club at Christmastime, I havs to search my brains and my book shelves to find a subject suitable for hard- headed, but by no means hard- hasrtsd business men. Some yearl ago I found g peach on the child- ren's tabla in the Library. 1 dis- covered afterwards thnt there is a review of it in the Reader's Digest which I have not read. Some of you may have. however. This song or carol, that I am to speak about has been sung almost everywhere in every land and in many different languages; and it is well that I should speak of it today for on Christmas Day. i041. it will have its one hundred and twenty-ninth birthday. In an ase- old village of the Austrian Alps in the yesr iaiil. there lived two people who were very fond of music and singing, Father Moiir, the priest. and Franz Gruber. the school teacher of Hollein. The. worthy father sat in his study on Christmas Eve, reading his Bible and preparing his serv- ice for Midnight Mass. Thsra come a knock at the door and he was summoned to go deep into the IDs-lice forest to bless a new-born" babe. I-Ie came te a ramshackle hut poorly lighted and filled with wood lmoka and on gs crude bad lay s young mother and in har arms her new-born child. The priest gave them both his bless- ing and returned down tha moun- tain side in the silence of the for- est. in the brilliance o! the stars. passing wild animals who fear- lessly watched him as he went his way in the peace of the holy night. First Transcript He reached the village as the bells were ringing for Midnight Mass. After the celebration he want home but found no sleep, so he started to put down on paper what had happened. and when dawn broke. Pather Mohr had written a poem. "silent night, holy night Ali is calm. all is bright. Round on virgin, [nether and child, , Holy infant so tender and mild, Slsap in heavenly peace." .- f-Ie took the six verses of his poem to his friend. the school teacher as a Christmas gift. , The teacher read it and, greatly moved. laid: "Father. this Is just the Christmas song we need. God be praised." "But without the right tune the song will not be worth much", said the priest. The church organ was out of order so the teacher, who was or- ganist, had time to writa out music to the words and came to the church with it. "Lats play it", he‘ said. "But we have n0 orssn". Gruber know this and had written the music for I guitar and two voices. Bo on the evening of Christ- msa Day 1518 in the village of lloliein. the lest and teacher sang for the irst time to an old guitar, a song that has been sung all the world over for the last one hundred snd twenty-five years. Scene years later the church or- gan at l-lollain went out of order and an organ builder from s neigh- bourlhg province in the Austrian ‘Pyroi was called in. After making his repairs. he asked the school teacher If he would like to try the organ. As Gruber began to play. somehflw he slipped un- awares into the Christmas melody he had written for Father Mom's poem, and suddenly the priest and the teacher were sinsinl it W!“ ther. The organ builder bell"! them to sing it again and asked .|f he might take the tune with him, as it was new to him and var! lovely. The teacher was going to write it down for him. but the orssn builder said ha was sure to re- member it and all the way home bummed the melody- Unknown To All All the children in his home town loved the organ builder for he always brought their new songs and this new Chrisimas_song soon was a great favourite. but,nobody knew who had composed it f0!‘ neither the priest or the school teacher had told tha organ-bulld- ar. Thai-e ware four small chiidram. two boys and two girls in this vii-~ iage who had lovely voices. They were children of Strasscr, a glove maker. On Sundays they sans In ills choir. but on other days they were always singlnr toast-hw- As a surprise to their Dlronfs when Christmas came they sang the new carol. “Silent night. holy night. lcn of Ood- how the lilht Rsdiatss love from thy Iisavaiiiv face. At the dawn of redeeming grace. Jesus. Lord at thy bith." By now this was coiled the "Song from Heaven" as the composer ' song", rut qveseiei~u owu The time came when tha Stras- ser children were old enough to travel with their stock of gloves to sell at tho fairs in the larger towns, so they came to lnlpuig. In the big city were all kind of strange. new sights. At first they were cur- ious, but after a whiic became lonely and homesick. so to cheer themselves up they sang as they did at home, their favourite "Song from Heaven". Passes-s-by stopped to listen and ended by buying their gloves. Among them was tha or-' ganist of the cathedral. l-Ia asked them if they would like to sing at a concert when they returned next year. They ere too bashful. but next year v1 an they came. he brought them four tickets to the grand concert that was being given, The arrived in awe at the con- cert hall and presented their tick- ets and were shcyn to four seats right beneath the orchestra lat- fohn. They were most un ort- able in all this glitter and bril- lidnce, but when everything‘ was quiet. they saw that their friend the organist was the conductor of the orchestra. After several pieces h“ been played and they were t oroughly enjoying themselves. t e conducwr raised his hand and announced that there wet-Lieu: young persons present. not pro- fessional singers, who would sing sgme of their Tyrolean airs before t eir majesties. the King and queen of Saxony. The youngsters were dismayed, but the eldest said. "lhut your ayes and think you are singing at home." Warmly Applalldcd Their first song w" the Song om Heaven, “Silent Night". After they had finished, applause broke loose and went on and on. They sang all the songs they knew and (their "Silent Night" again. Their Majastias desired to receive the singers. After being presented ‘n the Royal Box, the King request- dd them to sing next Christmas at the Royal court chapel. So they did and "Silent Night" was their Ions. . ‘shepherds view the angels flight. {lugs e'en follow tha guiding star: "Alleluia" rlngs near and far. Christ the Saviour is born.

"author and composer un- known." The Royal concert master was told to find him and started at onca on research. No one could tell him. but it seemed like Austrian music and in travelling through Austria on his search, he came to a email inn on the border. There the Innkeeper had s bullfinch in a cage and to the surprise of the Royal musician the bird whistied the tune of "Silent Night”. "Where rlld Y9" Bet that birdf", he do- mended. A traveller had bought him in Salzburg at st. Peter's Ab. bey. so to “St. Peter's AbbeLJn SAW-burl he went, seeking the composer I-of- Silent Night. Holy Night. “Prom the sky's golden height Came salvation to every place. Iii revealing fullness cl grace. Jesus, born as a man." He went to St. Peter's Abbey and looked through all the compos- itlonl of Michael Haydn, m; broth- er oi’ the famous Joseph. whom he believed to be the composer. No "d! W110 will found in Michael Hadylfs compositions. As for tha bulifinch. the abbot said that training song birds was a cruel Practice and was not dons at St. Peter's. The choir instructor however. heard the story and he knew his choir boys and feared that one of them milht have trained a. bull- finch to sing “Silent Night", as people paid wall for trained birds. Bo. when the boys were waiting for him in the vests-y. he went quietly outside and whlstied "Silent Night‘ like a bulifinch. One boy vsid to another, "Hey. your bird has come back". A little boy stole out of the vestry to try and catch the bullfinch and the choir master held him and asked his name. "Felix Gruber". he replied. ready for punishment. "Where did you get that song?" asked the choir master. —"Why my father made it up. He is the organist at Hollein." Scboolmaster Vidtad So, in a short while they Ian off to visit tha old schccimastl. He was very surprised to sea his son and still more so when he said he had the choir master with hipi. Ha invited him to supper and in course of conversation the choir master said. "l hell‘ you have written a famous song". "What asked the schoolmaster. "Why Silent Night”. "0hi that was written thirty five years ago. The words are by Father Mohr who has died. There sra six beautiful stanzas". Bo on the old guitar. he played the tune for them again. “Silent night, holy night. Pouring forth all tha might Of our hthevs love and grace, As Jesus holds in a brother's sm- brace All the nations of man." l lo at last the myllcry of the composition of the heavenly song "Silent Night" was solved. The schoolteacher. Frans Gru- ber wrote out an authentic history of the song and sent it to the King's concert mastu- ln Berlin. sending also the original words of Father Mohr and his own origihal music.

As each charge is fired the metal disc is discharged as an’ empty cartridge shell is eject-ed from an automatic rifle. The discs are made of thin metal and pus- sibly disintegrate in the sir not long after they are discharged." Ellsworth suggested that Ameri- can scientists might have been working on some similar device.| but he held it more likely that snv discs actually soon had come from Russian military proving grounds. ‘rhere were similar reports at, the time the flying saucer wavsi swept the United states andCan- , ada earlier this year, but thcv were given no official credence.
