AN ASTROLOGICAL FORECAST OF
WORLD EVENTS for 1888
BY Zaniah
EvERYoNE-EvERYwHERE


We face the grim probability of
another World War within the next
two years. 1t can be avoided. 1898
is critical year, perhaps the most
critical since 1914, but 1899 is hard
ly less so. Very much depends upon
the English speaking nations. If the
great majority of a nation be strong
ly against war, intelligently using
available means of persuasion to pre-
vent armed conflict, those in power
will hesitate before resorting to force
of arms to settle differences. 1t is up
to each and every one of us to cultiv-
ate and develop spirit of cooperd-
ton. BY doing so mas consciousness,
the less mass consciousness, and the
higher the level of mass conscious
ness, the less the danger of war
with its devastating effects Coopera-
ton is the Watchword. If every ma
ton will truly cooperate in sincere
efforts to maintain Peace there can
be no World War. The Law Courts
have been established for the purpose
of settling differences between man
and man, and to penalize those who
persist in violations of law and order.
1t is high time that there should be
set up a Court of International Law.
This ideal is coming. The years be-
tween 1889 and 1859 will see the
establishment of Court of Interna-
tional Relations.
THE UNITED STATES
The year 1898 opens with many
grave problems confronting the pres
ident. By the last week Of January
grave crisis will have arisen, about
the "open door" policy in China.
Large increases in Army and Navy.
The Presidents health will suffer
Agricultural, housing, and unemploy-
ment problems bring much opposition
The presidents popularity increases
August or September. The first of
October brings a crisis of a personal
nature to the President.
Detroit figures prominently in the
news from the first of the year, jan
uary and February 16 being critic
al dates Indianapolis is the approx
mate center of an area reaching to
Chicago on the west and Pittsburg
on the east. This section is due for
very serious developments about
February LIST. Aggressive tactics by
established industries which seek
war profits are made. Disorders,
outbreaks, and violence may occur
about this time. February /, is a
very critical date in World Affairs,
but the eastern section of the United
States, Western Europe, and Africa
will be the places most likely to show
this on the surface. Halifax, Nova
Scotia, is threatened with disaster
of major proportions.

CHRISTMAS CLUB PROGRAM


On the night of Wednesday, Dec.
%, at the monthly meeting OF the
P. T. A., the Glee and Dramatic
Clubs of the High School presented
interesting programs. The following
day, at a student assembly that clos
ed the scholastic year of 1887, the
Glee Club gave a more-simplfied pro-
gram and the Dramatic Club again
its one-scene, one-act play, Christie
piers Candle. Played by Charles
Russell or christopher" a little

ald', his father; Mary Robinson, or
Maggie, his nurse; Anna Dinsmore
or Peggy, a neighbor; Lawrence
Virgins, or "Jim", her friend;
Juanita Liggett or Abigail, an old
woman; and Josephine Raglan, or

cessfully carried out. The play told
how Christopher, lonesome boy
who was the son of famous. self-cen-
tered parents, put a candle in his
window to bring the Christ Child,
and was, himself, the Spirit of Christ
that brought the other characters to-
gether. Robert Rands

Editorial

The school has celebrated Christ
mas in an appropriate way this year.
The Glee and Dramatic Clubs pre-
scented seasonal plays, both to the
student body and to the Parent
Teachers Association. On going down
the girls steps one saw the beauti-
fully decorated Christmas tree plac-
ed above the east front enterenee.
There was even a tree in the labora-
tory trimmed with various pieces OF
apparatus. But what gave our cele-
bration the true Christmas spirit was
the way the students responded to
bringing gifts for the needy.
That is the true Christmas spirit
love for ones fellow man express
ed in giving. Giving not only to ones
special friends, but to those with
whom we have no tie save the bro
therhood shared in common with all
men. Surely this is the best way to
celebrate the birthday of Him who
freely gave His life to teach us true
love.
The old year goes out and Janu-
airy begins new year in which we
most earnestly wish a continuation
of Christmas cheer for all, with
Peace on earth, goodwill towards
all men,.
