UNITED METHODIST RUTH CIRCLE ENJOYS SPECIAL PROGRAM AT HOME OF MRS. MILDRED HOWELL
by Mary Rea
The Christmas meet-
ing of the Ruth Cir-
cle of the Kerens
United Methodist
Church met in the
home of Mildred
Howell with Mary Fr-
ost sharing hostess
duties.
The president, Nora
Lee May, welcomed
those present and
called on Avis Co-
ates for the opening
prayer. She announ-
ced that the next
meeting will be in
the home of Juanelle
Saunders with the
program being given
by Mary Rea.
New officers for
the coming year were
announced: President,
Mary Frost; Secretar-
y, Donna Congleton
and treasurer, Fran-
cine Berry.
The customary col-
lection for the Waco
Orphans Home was
taken.
The outgoing presi-
dent recalled some
of the things that
the Circle had
done the past year.
Those present thor-
oughly enjoyed Diane
Lang as she enterta-
ined with the story
of Christmas in song
and interesting
comments. She pointed
out the Carols were
once dance tunes, a
tradition that is
still in some church-
es today. Following
those comments, she
sang "God Rest Ye
lerry Gentlemen." Di-
ane gave the signifi-
cance of the Yule
Log, the holly and
the ivy, which have
become definite
parts of Christmas,
appropriately follow-
ed by the song "Deck
the Halls with Boughs
of Holly."
In Italy, St. Franc-
is wanted the child-
ren to understand
the true meaning of
Christmas, so he
brought the idea of
the Nativity scene—
the creche. Children .
were encouraged to
bring gifts to the
Christ child. The
song ’’Jeanette Isa-
bella" was sung fol-
lowing these com-
ments. Along came the
Pilgrims to America.
They disliked the
celebration that was
practiced in the Old
World. Out went gift-
s, wassail and car-
ols. They stressed
long church services
on Christmas, but no
•festivities. As time
passed, the carols
found their way back
into church services.
Diane sang two of her
favorite carols, "in
Bethlehem ’Neath
Starlet Skies" and'
"Go Tell it on the
Mountain."
. The program was con-
cluded with attention
being called to the
fact that our church
hymnals now contain
the old Welsh and
Bavarian carols as
well as the other old
carols. The group
joined Diane in sing-
ing "The First Noel"
and "Silent Night."
A time of fellowship
was enjoyed in which
members exchanged
Christmas gifts. The
hostesses served
pumpkin, squares and
punch. Those present
felt a distinct intr-
oduction to the true
Christmas spirit.
