A Philadelphia Times poem contrasts playful holiday scenes with a wishful vision. The piece imagines how a sun's light would favor children over adults, warming pools and brightening joyful days while avoiding spoiling ice and weeds, ending with a reflection on cheerful boyhood pleasures.
The piece recalls Cambridge students producing Pietas et Gratulatio for George III’s 1760 coronation and celebrates Harvard’s loyalty.

He notes Chicago Catholics report stronger singing in several city churches. He cites Rome’s St John Lateran and St Maria Maggiore as having better choirs, with Christmas and feast days reinforced by Rome’s best male voices.

An Atlanta Constitution editorial urges leaving Black Americans to manage their own affairs. It argues the Negro seeks peace, aims for basic needs like provisions and clothing, and prefers not to be pulled into politics or universal suffrage.
