A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

All robed in ethereal whiteness
G1ides in the first morn Of the
year,
And round it wonderful brightness
Is floating, in token Of cheer.
The glad and the sorrowfuE hearted
Alike look for blessings to be,
Ere it join the long ages departed,
Submerged In eternity's sea.
Not new, like the coin golden CLINT
ing,
Completed. that falls from the
mint;
Nor new, like the broidery limiting
OF splendor in every fresh tint;
But new, like the child onward gaz-
ing
At life all before it unknown,
Like the Prince when the vassals
are reising
Their banners in love round his
throne.
No word of it's words hath been
spoken,
No deed of it's deeds hath been
done;
Nor the bread Of it's beniscns broken,
Nor it's battles in bravery won.
St1ll larry us songs lot tne singers,
Still slumber it's manifold looms;
It's bells are yet waiting the ringers,
And vacant are standing it's tcmbs.
Though it bear for us wisdom or
folly,
In silence it utters no sign;
Through cur garlands of cedar and
! holly
| The~e rustles no message divine,
Save this, that with loval endeavOr
! And heart of all enmity clear,
Who welcomes it gayly may ever
! Look forth On Happy NV Year.

su.rrendering

II BY urrendering his country's
rights President Wilson could have
become exceedingly popular in Ber-
lin, Paris and London, and also popu-
lar with certain classes in this coun-
try who do not feel like placing Amer
lea first in the contentious which
arise during these troublesome times.
Such popularity, however, could not
be won without conduct akin to trea-
son. The fact that the President
enjoys no such popularity is the
best EVIDENCE of his devotion to his
ccuntry's interests.

ed to be high in the councils of the

commanded unlimited funds, having
$5OO,O0O to his credit in one New York

up trouble between this country and
Mexico. In the latter respect, it is
said, his efforts were a failure from
the start.

fcation. and may indeed be source
of added strength.
If you are to become a minister's
wife, you would have to adjust your
self to good many situations that are
quite new to you. You would find it
an eXacting position, one in which you
would be subject to criticism, both
reasonable and unreasonable. and you
would need to consider in advance
whether any of these criticisms would
be just Ministers wives have largely
the same duties that belong to other
married women; but there is range
of responsibility outside of these, and
it falls heavily upon the wife of Il
minister
There are two great questions: First,
Do you love this man with all your
heart and will you for his sake meet
any hardship that may come, and do
it gladly and checrfully, and be his
helper all the way? The other is, Are
you heart and soul in sympathy with
his work? To that he is already COM
mitted. He married that before he
married you. You say you have not
had much experience in church work
That in itself is no disqualification.
Very likely in your work you have not
been able to give much time and at
tention to it; but is your heart in work
of that kind? If it is, and you love
him, and he loves you, you can some-
how adapt your lives to each other.

One Minute with the Editor
Confdentially

TONFIDENTIALLY, we think
that the author of next weeks
lead story is going to be heard
from later on. In May we had two short
stories by authors of national reputa-
tion,-NIcredith Nicholson and Justus
Miles Forman. (By the way, this was
one of the last stories that MIR. Forman
wrote before the Lusitania tragedy cut
short his brilliant career.) Both stories
We're bully.
Now comes lead story by
newer writer, Florence Ryerson; good
enough, we think, to be classed with
the work of those others whose work
is better known. There's fine satis-
faction in this business of getting
hold of writer's who are new and COM
ing. See if you agree with us that
Florence Ryerson is one of that kind.

INCA OERNER CONCERT.

All Madison is looking forward
with great expectations to the con-
cert of Miss Inga Oerner to be given
in the NJ. K. church March 3, under
the local management of Prof. Jacob
Schultz. This will be a musical event
the equal of which the city of Mad
ison has never had the opportunity
to witness.
Miss Oerner received her musical
training from the greatest vocal
teachers in the world, Jean de ResZke
in Paris, and completed her education
with Cesare Rossi in Italy, where she
made her debut as Gilda in Rigoletto
under long and lavish applause. AT
a concert before their majesties, the
king and queen of Norway, Miss
Oerner was highly complimented on
her beautiful voice, which has been
compared with that of Jenny Lind by
the worlds greatest critics. Miss
Oerner scored a decided success at
Covent Garden in London, and has
for several season delighted the audi
ence at the Metropolitan opera house
of New York.
March 3 will be an evening of true
music given by a true artist who
knows her art and knows how to in
terpret 1t so as to reach the hearts of
her audience. March 3 will be an
evening of uplift, of culture. of re-
finement which we all need badly in
our materialistic age. We all well
come Miss Oerner for the lovely even
ing she will give us, a message from
a nobler world.
To this rare evening of the high
est musical rank the admission will
be only so cents, students 25 cents.
Children will not be admitted except
accompanied by their parents or
guardian.
