YULETIDE The Christmas season is one of which the Spelman community is doubly proud, first, because it is the season of the Christmas Carol Concert—second, be cause it is the season that carries with it so much good-will. It is a time when all is well, when minds are somewhat at ease and when people give praise to God for the gift of His Son. One seems constantly to hear the sooth ing strains of Silent Night, and one’s thoughts turn to the Christ Child and His Virgin Mother. Mary. The Atlanta-Spelman-Morehouse cho rus and the Morehouse and Spelman glee clubs sang of this glorious occasion on December 13th and 14th. The audience sat enchanted while a hundred or more voices poured out their message in song. Just the sight of Sisters Chapel deco rated with wreaths and candles gave the feeling of the 'l uletide season. Then as the chorus filed down the aisles singing Hail to the Lord's Anointed. all minds immediately forgot their worries and were enthralled by the angelic music. The chorus and glee clubs rendered beautiful selections of many countries. Among the most interesting were: “Christ Is Born of Mary Free.” “A Galician Christmas Carol on the Feast of the Holy Kings." “Whence, 0 Shepherd Maiden?” “0 Nightingale. Awake.” “Shepherds on This Hill." “While by My Sheep.” “Yuletide.” “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.” “Carol of the Bells." “Bo' Little Jesus." “New Born.” The performance was superb and the concert was sung to a very appreciative audience.
