EDUCATION BEST INVESTMENT
So say Rev. II. C. Herring of First
CONGREGATIONAL

50 says Kew H.. y. Herring OF FIRST
Congregational.
Scattered over the ~treeless prairies OF
Nebraska are twenty or more Christian
colleges unfolding the standard Of religion,
making character. teaching Christianity,
and these colleges are Nebraska's best in
vestment," said Rev. Hubert C. Herring at
the First Congregational church Sunday
morning, IN his sermon on I'm What to
Invest"
Anything undertaken for the betterment
Of the world is In the line OF education
or training" said the preacher, "and along
these lines is where the most good is done,
with the exception of the field Of charity.
And even in this field education is not
absent, for people are taught to better
their condition, guard and guide their
lives. 1t is the fact Of the worlds needs
that has produced educational enthusiasm.
I'm investing for the betterment of the
world there are many things to consider.
We should FIRST think Of what would benefit
the largest number. We should further
the broadcast education. II we establish a
law school we should not have the students
believe that everything good was in the
walls of that building. We should put I'M
phasis on the highest form OF education,
training the conscience, teaching hope and
fear and truth.
Modern life has become a wonderful
field for Christian craftsmanship and man
Is compelled to make an effort to keep
from putting his all on the altar in the
name of Christ. In our south land we
have the black man, always an object Of
pity. Among them is an opportunity for
the investment Of millions for their en-
lightenment and education; the large cities
are drawing upon the people of the coun-
try and before many years over one-half
of the people OF the country will have re-
moved to the large cities. Here is another
great opportunity for investment. Pastors
need helpers, and the establishment of
training schools is another great place for
Investment. Industrial expansion among
the women of the country affords another
place for investment. In Omaha there are
5000 self-supporting women. Here we have
a grand opportunity for furnishing relief.
THE people at large need political edu-
cation. A Christian newspaper without
party prejudice would be the greatest
factor IN their education and development.
Such a newspaper properly conducted
would be successful. But above them all is
the Christian college. And the time has
come when rich men should leave in their
Wills a clause providing for their main
tensnce; checks should be signed for them
and our money should be freely donated"

Spring Poetry Not Yet Ripe.

Major Collins, of Keokuk, was in
town Monday and wanted to know if
spring poetry was ripe yet. We started
up the old squeaky poetry machine and
after few jerks the following was
evolved.
When the air is full of icicles,
When our noses all are blue,
When the cold air whistles round us
And Sits our clothing through,
When the ponds are frozen solid
And the youngsters skate in glee,
When the coal man with musty bill
Comes chasing you and me,
When the bullfrog's voice is silent,
Frozen up until the spring,
And we watch and wait and listen
Just to hear the robin sing,
When the frozen microbes scatter
Their diseases everywhere,
And the editors fort lack of news
Are prone to tear their hair.
When we shiver as we slide along
Our way through snow and sleet,
And our feet slip out from under US
And we sit down in the street,
When we shiver as we lie in bed,
And wake to shlver yet,
And our hands are cracked and bleeding
With pain we can't forget,
When the boys and girls go sleighing
And freeze their toes and ears,
And the cold brings on lumbago
That we hadn't felt for years,
When we grumble at the winter storm
And swear it is hummer,
Then the willy ice man lays his plans
To skin us all next summer!

TO PROTECT TOWER OF M.INZ

One of the attractions. at Mainz in

which has stood there for centuries,
serving during one epoch as citadel,
during another as dungeon for cap
tiyes taken in war, and during a third
as Headquarters for a regiment of sol
diers. During late years this interest
irg and historical building has shown
rhany signs of decay and, as it is ma
tional property, the people of Mainz,
who are anxious to preserve it, were
fer some time puzzled as to what steps
they should take in the matter. Fin
ally the local archaeological society
appealed direct to the government.
''If you will give us a deed of the
property" it said, this society will
guarantee to repair the tower and to
keep it forever in a perfect state of
preservation.
To this proposition the government
readily agreed, and steps are now be-
ing taken to repair the building. aa
