Our Women and Children Conducted by Lucille Skaggs Edwards. A NEW YEAR’S THOUGHT On the threshold of a new year we & re possessed with many thoughts. We are prone to glance backward up on the past year and find, with its joys and successes, much to regret; but sadness and regret are never helpful— they enervate and what is past cannot be recalled. Then comes a thought of gratitude for the joys and blessings of the past year and we determine to give ener getic fidelity to each daily duty that will come to us in the new year. We are also thankful to those who by confidence in us and the occasional word of cheer have helped us on our way and we resolve to help make others happy. We begin the new year with a tear of sorrow and a smile of courage, a sigh of regret and a song of joy, a glance at past failures and a dream of great possibilities. We also wish that the new year may bring a full measure of happiness to all.—L. S. E MY SYMPHONY After all, what is Life but a prelude to the Great Unknown, A few bars to introduce the Eter nal Grand Chorus, And Death but the Conductor, mark ing the time when we shall first catch the glorious strains of the Complete Melody. Tc the one whose life is played amid the plaintive minor chords, the full melody following will be deeper, grander and more soul satisfying by contrast. To those whose lives are a succession of major chords, blatant and nnerving, the harmony to fol low will truly be “The peace that passeth nderstand ing.” Believing this, on the threshold of the New Year I wish each friend the Happiness of Another Year. Another year to strive toward loftier ideals, A brave heart to endure discords that may encompass, With steady nerves an*1 clear eyes to face each measure meted to us by an All Wise Father. This is My Symphony. —Peoples Home Journal. CHURCH OF ST. PHILIP THE DEACON The church was beautifully decor ated for the Christmastide.

On Friday, De cember 23, the members of the club met at the residence of the president, Mrs. Robert T. Walker, 2121 North Twenty-seventh street, and prepared thirty baskets with a generous sup ply of provisions. Fifteen families were remembered each one receiving a donation of two baskets.
