and briskly goes his way, keenly ap-
preciative of the sun when it shines,
but with no thought of yielding to the
bitter biting OF the winter winds when
they blow.
So with each of us personally. "All
kinds of things and weather must be
taken in together to make up year
and a sphere" The coming twelve
months will have their sunshine and
their rain, their grief and their mirth,
their losses and their gains. Those of
us who are wise and firm of purpose
will take conditions as they come, re-
Joicing in them, adapting them to our
purposes or enduring them, as the
case may be, but always certain of
this one thing-that perseverance wins
just as much in real life as the old
motto says it does, and that the end
of 1915 will find us better and broad er
men and women If we earnestly strive
to that end.
To resolve at the end of each day
to do little better the next, to live
true to ourselves and faithful to all
our trusts during the coming twenty
four hours-this is the only New
Years resolution worth making.

THE CHORAL SOCIETY

T1HE Harrisburg Choral Society is
aiming high this year in the Sc
- lection of the oratorio Samson
for rendition at the Spring Fes-
tival. The society is particularly for
tunate in again obtaining the services
of Dr. j. Fred Wolfe as director. The
success of last year was largely due to
his ability as a leader and to his skill
in welding the material placed at his
disposal into really splendid chorus
material, by the way, which DR.. Wolfe
says is second to none in PENNSYLVANIA.
The oratorio chosen for this seasons
work is a combination of the musical
talent of Handel and the poetic genius
of Milton. 1t teens with majestic
choruses and noble passages. It is inst
such composition as is best suited to
both the director and the society. Har-
risburg music lovers may look for
ward to one of the most delightful re-
citals in the long history of the or
sanization.

Where are those folks of yesterday
Who went about the town
A-kickin cause the mercury
Was up instead of down?
They said the weather was too mlld'
And that for dear health's sake
A downward course, the mercury
Should very quickly take.
Dear knows. it's dropped considerably
Within the past two days.
But none of those cold weather folks
Have thus far met my gaze.
I'll bet you If you'd trace them down
You'd find each in some room
Crouched near n radiator hot,

is only another illustration OF
the fallacy of President Wilson's no.
ton that the Filipinos are at this time
capable of self-government. Indica-
tions are that, were 1t not for public
opinion and very strong fighting mi
nority in Congress, the President
would have advocated long since the
absolute independence OF the Philip
pines.
Reports from the officers who put
down the Christmas eve uprising be-
fore it was well under way are to the
effect that it was caused by "revolu-
tionists" located in Hong Kong, and
the intimation is that there are many
such movements intended to incite the
Filipinos to rise against the best gov
ernment they ever had. Evidently the
Philippines are in much the same
situation as Mexico is to-day. Only
the strong arm of Uncle Sam remains
to guard the life and liberty of the
peace-loving portion of the popula-
ton. Remove that and what is occur
ring in Mexico would be repeated in
the Philippines.
To be sure. it is not the thought OF
any American that these islands shall
constitute perpetual dependencies
That is abhorrent to our idea of popu-
lar government. But it would be as
great crime to turn the Philippines
loose, in their present unprepared and
turbulent state, to work out their own
salvation, as it would to deliberately
plan to keep them always as they
are.
