WHY THE INDIFFERENCE?
Richmond's Little Symphony Or
chestra as the second number of this
winter’s lyceurn course pleased a
large audience Tuesday evening in
the orphanage chapel. Its personnel
included six musical celebreties and
they presented a pregram including
selections from the world's greatest
mqptefpipces. Jt was a very credit
ably perlofma nee and the evening fur
nished the large audience of music
lovers many rare delights.
SPENT SUNDAY IN YORK
Dr. Dudley Jones and son, Dudley,
spent the week-end in York, where he
preached for the congregation of the
First Presbyterian church both morn
ing and evening. This church, one of
the largest in the Synod, is now with
out a pastor following the recent re-
. aiyaatiop of Dr. Gillespie.
The writer does not mean to cen
sure or criticise any one, nor does
he mean to offer any suggestions
that would not be good practice in
business, but it did seem that Armis
tice Day in Clinton was a rather tame
affair, compared with that of six
years ago, when all the town was in
an uproar of joy over the fact that
peace had been declared. One would
not have known that it was a day
of any significance, that it was a day
any different from any of the other
three hundred and sixty-four days of
the year, if he had not looked at the
papers or had occasion to go to one
of the banks. They were the only
places which closed or even paused
for a moment during the day, to give
thought ol what this day means in
history apd to man who did his bit.
It makes even the poorest feeling
ex-service man wonder if his services
for what he thought right, are appre
ciated and if the joy expressed by the
non-combatants at the signing of the
armistice yneant anything to those
who servem It looks as if the public
too soon forgets a thing of this kind
and that we are prone to let it pass
into oblivion for forty years or more,
and then try to show what we think
of it. The writer hopes that next
year some one will take the initiative
and put Armistice day over the top
in great style, for he cannot help but
feel that in this way, a great number
of ex-seFvice men will feel better for
What they tried to do in the great
World War, and that it will also keep
this great day in the minds of all.
