the Club cared to protect them-that
is, do the very thing that they agreed
to do when they signed the club plan
so they tried to unload the job on
to the United States. Mr. Wilson ac-
cepted the invitation, and now the
members are telling each other that
it really means that the United States
is to take charge of the Armenian
question hereafter. Well. they are
likely to have their eyes opened if
they think Congress is going to send
any money or soldiers to that far off
land.
Now, children, this has been a dis
agreeable story. but l hope it will
not make you have any bad dreams.
1t is quite impossible to tell anything
about the World Club and its doings
without leaving a bad taste in the
mouth and a mighty poor opinion of
the world in general. 1t is certainly
disheartening to see most of the ma
tions of the world assembled together
in one meeting, each loudly protesting
that it wants to see peace in the world
forever after, and yet, secretly, deter
mined not to do anything to bring
peace about that will interfere at all
with its own welfare. There is bright
spot, however, when we see our own
country free from il all. The Republi- |
cans of our Senate had the courage |
to tell the world openly that their |
first concern was for their own coun- |
try and they would enter no club |
that would interfere with that duty"

Cantata at Baptist Church.

Sunday night the Baptist church
was filled to overfowing, galleries
and all, with lovers of music and with
those who find comfort in hearing
the Gospel message. The story of
Christmas is especially appropriate
in song, as the angels on that first
great day sang in chorus from heaven
"Glory to God in the Highest, on
earth, peace, good will to men,
DR. Lee opened the evening service
with prayer, the Christmas story
from the Bible being very effectively
read from the different gospels be-
tween the three parts of the cantata.
The evening service was begun
with an organ prelude by Mrs. Till
man, who also played all the cantata
accompanimel4ts with great taste
and feeling.
The first part consisted of three
choruses, the first full chorus,
"Angels from the Realms of Glory"
then a chorus of women's voices,

then solo by Miss Miriam Norris,

spring and the climax was a full cho-
rus singing the familiar hymn "Joy
to the World"
Part III began with a full chorus,
Gall Hail to Thee, Eternal Lord"
A solo, "The Shepherd" was beau
tifully sung by Mrs. M B. Tucker
which was one of the most melodious
and sweet of all the selections.
A duet, 80 Saviour, Precious Sa-
viour" was given by Misses Elizabeth
Rainsford and Miriam Norris.
The concluding chorus was Gal!

Christmas Exercises at High
and Graded School.

1t was pity that all the mothers
and fathers did not go over to the.
school on Friday and see and hear
what was going on. 1t was really a
very pleasant and interesting occa-
sion. One way to keep young is to
keep in touch with the schools. It is
very commendable of the teachers
to do these extra duties in training
children and parents and those who
are fortunate enough to be parents
would do well 20 lend their presence
on such occasions.
The following was the program as
carried out:
Song by Second and Third grades
Elizabeth Nicholson gave story
"Why Chimes Ring"
Margaret Mooney, holding a doll
and seated in a little rocking chair
sang Christmas song to her dolly.
"The Story of Christmas Time
was given by Dorothy Marsh, William
Byrd and Elizabeth Kemp.
One of the most enjoyable num-
bers on the program was piano solo
played from memory by little Esther
Rubenstein, eight years of age.
The first grade gave song Jolly

Annie Nicholson gave a reading

tie musician, jamie Edwards played
a piano solo with much taste and

Little Margaret Allen pleased
everybody with a reading entitled

followed by the first grade.
The fourth grade gave a story by
verses called "Santa Claus and the
Mouse" and later song.
Two especially good readings were
