result that the cough or cold becomes
deep-seated through this neglect and
hangs on the whole winter-which might
have otherwise been speedily cured, had

pie Of Europe you need mot be fri

giving is joyous or in the minor key,
there never was Christmas when
the obligation to give was more
pressing. >. -
The proposal to cut off Christmas
presents grows out of that we'll
meaning but mistaken view of life
which dwells so much on the super
icially practical" side that is blind
to all the practical considerations
undertaking the mainly graceful or
decorative aspects of life. A general
contraction of Christmas present
making this year would unquestion-
ably have far-reaching disastrous ef-
fects.
It would mean to manufacturers
and jobbers heavy unsold stocks; to
retailers it would mean shrinkage of
trade and disappearance of profits;
to transportation interests it would
mean the loss Of regular annual
business; to the wage workers it
would mean widespread lack of en-
1rrloyment. With many out of work
in this city at present it is pitiful to
think of the eagerness with which
some thousands of tnen and women
must look forward to the Christmas
furry as hope for earning a few
days pay. How much more pitiful
would it be if this hope were de-
feated
Wise givers will naturally adapt
their Christmas remembrances in
this troubled year to the prevailing
temper. Unitarian considerations
will be likely to guide them to an
unusual extent. But it is to be
hoped that the inspired trife will
not be entirely dropped out Of cur

WOULD DEVELOP
MUSICAL TALENT
Second Congregational Church
Starts a Unique Organ
ization.

In an effort to develop the musical
talent of the younger people, and also
to increase the interest in music, the
Second Congregational church of this
city has started a most worthy move
ment. and last night about twenty of
the younger generation responded to
the call issued by the church for those
who desired TO join one of its orches-
tras which the church plans to inaugu-
rate.
The first rehearsal was held last
night and assisted by two concert
players and Manager Adolph Open
'heimer, the young people made eX
cellent progress. The manager states,
however, that their is a lack of car
inets, flies, trombones and drums and
requests that any who desire to enter
one of the orchestras this summer,
communicate with him.
The present plan is to practice once
each week, at least, and the next
practice night will be Friday, Feb. 90,
the Willard school to be the. meeting
place. Practice will commence at
7:3O. 1t is desired that as many or
chestras be formed as possible in or
der that there will be playing this
summer on number of the city
school grounds. and TO accomplish
this a large number of musicians must
be secured. 1t is thought, however,
by those in charge that the younger
people will begin to respond when the
project is further advanced.
