Hut te theie behind the fcetie there rre, both before and after the formal meeting. Incidents which carried with them an impressive lesion in the power of such celebrntlens for public geed. The actors in these little, unpro unpre crammed Incidents were former Presi dent Taft. Mayer Moere, and -150 beji and girls from the Helmes Junier High Scheel Plftyllfth and Chestnut streets. who were members of the chorus that furnished much of the music. There in prebablj net one of these young students who is net better equipped today te controvert the glit tering theories of social revolutionists and the communists. They line! listened with rapt attention te Mr. Tnft as he told of the failure of the communist experiment made by the highly intelli gent men and women who came ever here en the Maj Mower and two follow ing ships. And it was notable that the applause that greeted his. eloquent de ductions from this lessen came mere fcpontaneeush from these bes nnl glrw and was continued mere enthusiasti cally by them than the rest of the au dience. Faces Siiew Appreciation Their elders lmd known of these things before; te these jeun: students it all came in something entirely new nnd. a-, they listened te the ringing words from the man who hml been President of their cpiintn. the deep Impression that the Idea was mukliu upon them was shown cleat ly b. the expression en their faces. Later, when Mr. Taft came from the tagc. the bes and girls bad gathered te wait for him behind the scenes and the reception the accorded him made the jovial face of the former President fairly beam with pleasure. lie shook hands right and left, franklv giving the preference te the girls, but net by any means ignoring the boys. And, when one boy mus tered tip sufficient courage te ask for an autograph, the big man took the book nud said laughingly. "Well, my bev, I'll tell ou I'll de it for jeu If you'll premise net te get me into the business." Ten minutes Inter, when he emerged from his dressing room te walk ever te the nelieVtie-Strntfeid. he found bis young friends gathered in Icut street, waiting te honor him in n mere vocif erous wav than was permissible inside the building. As seen as lie appeared coming through the doorway, their cheer leaders gave the signal nnd nil 4,0 fairly strained their threats in their second yell, followed by u ringing "Taft Taft Taft!" Mr. Tnft turned back with a frank laugh of pleasure and raised his hat te them. And they all went home, sure that belshcvlsm must be wrong, first, because Mr. Taft had said se, and sec ondly, because the Pilgrim Fathers had tried it and found it bad. It was n great night for the Phila delphia Maj flower committee, but it was a greater one for the Helmes Scheel. Uefere the curtain went up, while the bejs and girls were settling into their scats en the ttage, their director, Oeerge I.cHey Lindsay, spied Mayer Moere going into the Oreen Roem and asked him te come out nnd say n few words te them while the Police Rand was p!alng in front of the house. There was a great stir among them when the Mayer came quietly In nnd, crowding up close among thefe ou the front row, motioned for silence nnd cupped his Imtiils se that he could speak without his voice disturbing the nudl cn.r.?,,'". ,ts enjoyment of the bnnd. Olrls nnd bejs," he snld. "I don't knew of an; thing better for you than this interest ou nre showing iu music pnrtleulnrlv singing. Music in any feim is noed. There is n0 better iu fltience for eung or old. Hut I think jeu lmve chosen wisely In taking up this chorus work and In learning te sing. "If mere people would lenru te sing und would keep en singing, there would be less unhappincs., lr.ss Ill-feeling, less wickedness in the world. The man or woman who sings Is'happj. And the man or woman who is happy does net feel like belnf wicked. Keen it up. It will de you geed and de geed te the cit jeu live In." What Audience Did Knew All of this, of course, was net en the program nnd the audience knew nothing about it. Hut the audience did see nnd did knew that, for some reu-s son, the students In the chorus formed one of the most Interesting features of the celebration after the curtain went up. Mayer Moere opened the meeting with n few btief words, in which lip ap pointed Tref. Rttfus M. Jenes ns "mod erator." After Scripture reading nnd n prayer by the Rev. Wllllnm Vnn Derveer Herg, secretary of the com mittee, the Rev. Canen K. A. Itnr Itnr leughs, of Trinity College, Oxford, nngl.md, chnplitin te the king, uim in troduced. Canen RnrreiigliH made an earnest plen for American participation In the League of Nations. lie referred in words of prnUe te the work Mr. Tnft had done te found n league te enforce peace, and he urged bis hearers te drnw from the expeilment of the Pilgrims the lessen that this ceuntrj should new join in striving for a high unlvetsnl Ideal as the forefathers strove for ii high Idea in their own dnj nationalities. Are you going te refuse us new the expert help which America alone can give?" Hcfere Introducing Mr. Taft Prof. Jenes added his plen for it sympathetic ettitudc toward a family of nations te preserve peace. He nreused laughter by comparing us te the Rubject of n poet who "was net among the great ones of our language" and then he queted: tlin IlKhtnlnx bus- Is brlttlnnt, Hut hftsn't an- mind. He blunders thrntiirh exttner With hli headlight en behind Fermer President Taft received an ovation and wheu he rose te speak the whe'e audience rose with him. He gave n comprehensive history of the Pilgrim Fnthers, Interspersing it here and there with sallies of keen wif which were al ways accompanied by that humorous Taft chuckle which hns become one of his most distinguishing characteristics us a speaker. After summarizing the historical facts, Mr. Tnft continued : "Net one of the towns hns ever be come n city of grent Importance. They left no written constitution thnt was embodied in the fundamental law of the succeeding state. They left no compact body of people who continued their Iden tity into the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. They made no great declara tion of principle which they sought te spread through the world. "They were n modest, Gedfearing, rat nest, quiet company, who wished te live unmolested In the enjoyment of their religion and principles. They were net propagandists. They did net seek te expand their territerinl limits. "Why is It, then, thnt the 21st of December is celebrnted nlwnys us 'Forefathers' Day,' as if they were the ancestors of our whole people? Why is it thnt we se cngerly search for every posslble circumstance connected with th life of this colony, from 1021 te 1(51)2, when it teased te be? Tells the Reason "It is because the lUes they led. the principles which guides! them, the ideals thnt they followed, are cherished today by us an the cornerstone of our republic and our civilization. Although the Pil grims nud their colony died within a. century, the power for geed of their tenchiug nnd of their example can be traced through three centuries. i 'lhey gave n conscience te our ceun-1 la" tlenal life. This la why we com memerate them. ...it "In Kngland the event Is cherished because the people of thnt country value much an Kngllsh-snenklng union of the nations of the world In maintaining the stability and pcare of the world, and they rejoice from their hearts at these hlstorlcel evidences that the sources of the strength, physical, moral nnd spiritual, of this great republic were In the mother country and constitute nn Indispensable bend between us." "In the first two years their crops were peer, nnd they lived en very short rntlens, They found difficulty In se curing the necessary efficiency of lnber under the commune system in spite of the serious threat of starvation. Gov Gov ereor Hrndferd departed from the prin ciple of the commune te the extent of assigning te each family group n parcel for its private use and enjoyment. Women Worked Willingly "This effected a marked change. It made all hands very Industrious. Much mere corn was planted, cultivated and garnered. He says, 'The women new went willingly Inte the field nud took their little ones with them te set corn, which before would allege weakness nnd Inability, nud te hnve compelled them te de this would have been through grent tyranny nnd oppression.' "The experlcnce thnt wns had in this common course nnd condition, tried sundry years, and thnt nmeugst Gedly nnd sober men, may well evince the van ity of the conceit of Pinte and ether un dents, applnuded by some of later times, that the taking away of property, nnd bringing n community Inte n common wealth would make them happy nnd nourishing, ns If they were wiser thnn Ged. Fer this community, se fnr ns It wns, was found te breed much confu sion nnd discontent, nnd retard much employment that would have been te their benefit nnd comfort.
