CHRISTMAS MUSIC
ON THE PROGRAM
Wednesday Club Gives Con
cert in Market Square
Church This Morning
An atmosphere of restful quiet sur
rounded the listeners to the Christ
mas concert given by the Wednesday
Club in the Market Square Presby
terian Church this morning. Before
a contfortably-tllled auditorium the
city's best artists brought the spirit
of Christmas and the Christ Child's
birth. . Songs and compositions re
tlecting the majestic solemnity of
this gift-giving time, composed the
excellent program. Women who came
in wearing th 6 worried, world
weary look were caught up in
the Influence of peace and solem
nity, and the frowns were erased
from their brows by tlie sweet, sim
ple old melodies mothers sang to
them years ago. Little children sat,
wide-eyed, listening to the music,
and one little tot cried outl at the
close of "Silent Night," "It's so
pitty."
Dr. John C. Reed violinist, who as
sisted the local artists, played with
Miss Vaughn, harpist, and Mrs.
Henry, organist. Franck's beautiful
" OI Most Holy." Mrs. .Sanders, in
"Bethlehem," showed again her con
summate artistry in singing:. Mrs.
Hull's simplicity of style in "Away In
a Manger" was a pleasing feature.
"Tryste Noel," by Mrs. Decevee, Mrs.
Harris, Mrs. Keeves and Miss Sea
man, was a beautiful song in which
tlie voices blended in almost perfect
harmony, and Miss Corbett's flute
like notes in the "Christmas Carol of
the Birds" were exquisite. Variations
for the organ on "Silent Night, Holj'
Night," played by Mrs. Rhodes, was
a Christmas composition dear to tho
hearts of all. Dying away in the
■distance until it seemed but a mere
whisper, and swelling into full ma
jestic sweetness, and up to a climax,
"Stille Nacht" touched the souls of
all hearers.
The program included "The Boar's
Head Carol," Wynkyn de Wordo
(1521); "Christmas Once Is Christmas
Still," Ralph Ivirder; "Bethlehem,"
Mrs. Sanders; "O Lord Most Holy,"
Dr. Reed, Miss Vaughn and Mrs.
Henry, "Song of the Chimes," Mrs.
Decevee; "Christmas," Mrs. Henry;
"No Cradle Was There and No Fire,"
"Away in a Manger," Martin; "O'er
the Cradle of a King" (Old Breton),
Mrs, Hull; "Tryste Noel"; "Variations
on 'Holy Night'" (Harker), Mrs.

Dr. Prugh Pledges Aid
of the Prohibitionists
Dr. B. E. P. Prugh, Prohibition
state chairman, in a statement is
sued to-day renewed pledges of en
thusiastic support to the prohibi
tion amendment. The chairman is
very enthusiastic over the enactment
in Congress and is going to work for
a Legislature to ratify it in Penn
sylvania.
Dr. Prugh says:
"It was my privilege to be in
Washington on Monday when the
House so overwhelmingly passed the
prohibition constitutional amend
ment resolution. The question lias
already arisen in some parts, 'What,
will the prohibition party do in the
premises?'
"This seems a strange question to
ask concerning a party that for
nearly fifty years has been battling
for prohibition. While we are a po
litical party we have been such only
because the supreme issue before
the country could not in our judg
ment be met in any other way. Over
a|id over again sections of our party
have endorsed 'good temperance
men' of the old license parties, fool
ishly as many of us believe, but
from the motive of co-operation tor
the accomplishment of the thing
which is so much more important
than party.
"During the fight for the submis
sion of the amendment that has just
been submitted by Congress, I my
self was in Washington, laboring lor
it and I found there leaders from
all over the country, our national
chairman and state chairmen and
others of state-wide and even na
tion-wide fame. It goes without
saying that what we labored to se
cure l'rom Congress we will olso
work to obtain In our various
states.
"In anticipation. It would seem,
•the state prohibition committee at
its annual meeting in Harrisburg on
May 31, 1917, took the following ac
tion:
" 'Resolved, That we, as a party,
co-operate with the Pennsylvania
Dry Federation for the purpose of
securing prohibition legislation; ,r.nd
recommend the placing on our ticket
of the names of the candidates ad
vocated by the federation, provided,
such candidates previously, public
ly, and unequivocally declare them
selves in favor -of prohibition of the
liquor traffic without compromise,
and pledge themselves to prohibiUon
legislation.'
"This language is explicit. We
have not stood for anything less than
prohibition for many years; no 'step'
has caught our eyes. The words
'without compromise' were meant to
exclude the endorsement of the 'good,
temperance men' that before election
were 'for anything against the liquor
traffic,' when that 'anything' meant
high license or local option or any
other compromise. And we wero
against any man that was not in *he
open in his opposition to the liquor
traffic.
"The adoption of this national
prohibition amendment will be the
ienactment of supreme prohibition
legislation, and hence I doubt not
that all over our state the Prohibi
tionists will be found aligning them
selves for the election of members
to the next Legislature that openly
and emphatically declare for the
ratification of this amendment by
our state. Pennsylvania is not half
so black as she is sometimes paint
ed. and I scarcely doubt that if a
determined and united effort shall
be urged, subordinating other lesser
policies to this supreme issue at the
coming election, that Pennsylvania
will elect a Legislature that will
satify the amendment."
