The Star Spangled Banner
Spirit
in Philadelphia is greater than ever before.
Notice 'the returned soldiers (bless them!)
when the National Hymn is played, indoors or
i outdoors, by band or organ, how splendidly they
, are "at attention," giving the dignified salute to
the flag which' to them has become dearer and
dearer since their war experiences.
Our noble boys, soldiers and sailors, step in
front of us one by one, and in some way or other
i they all appear changed transfigured in body,
mind and Spirit by what they saw on the battle-
1 field and did by force of arms to conquer the
enemies of our flag.
The next steps to be taken are full of
significance.
The happiness, prosperity and peace of the
world depend upon the documents to be framed
in the conferences agreed upon when ratified by
the nations concerned. ,
No other event in the history of the United
States, since writing in Philadelphia by Thomas
Jefferson of the Declaration of Independence, a
century and a half ago, approaches the
importance of reaching now the final conclu-
sions to insure world-wide, permanent peace.
Oh, for a realization of the hope of a new
world of new manhood and new devotion to the
flag of Liberty and Freedom, which has been
rebaptized in blood and fire!
Signed

Music Will Unlock
the Gates of Memory
Who cannot recall the glorious Chrihtmases of his childhood?'
The days when Santa Claus and other blessed illusions were real
and when happiness could reach a pitch of ecstasy.
Then we grew up and became skeptical, and rather prided
ourselves on something we called "hard-headedness."
Let us mako this Christmas a timo to get back something of
that which we lost Let a little sentiment soften us.
Let a piano bring the real
Christmas spirit? t& our home
Music can work miracles. It may not bring back a belief in
Santa Claus, but if any of us has lost faith in the things that
Christmas stands, for, it can bring that back. And it can mako
this Christmas happier than a silent festival could ever be.
For this is the season of overflowing joy, which finds its
expressionTin melody. The home that has no music is in a far
worse way than the home that has no turkey.
