From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN Jan. DISQUALIFICATION j.
e. Miller OF Lancaster and the Douglas
county senators conferred today over the
Ransom bill l%aIlowing the excise boards and
boards Of fire and police commissioners to
sit on Licenses to sell liquor sixty days
before the smae shall go into effect. This
is with the idea OF getting all preliminary
work OF remonstrances out Of the way
before the licenses shall be operative. He
found that the bill would give the out
going board in Lincoln the chance to issue
licenses for the next year. This will be
amended to obviate the difficulty. The
bill also provides that when a license shall
be revoked for any purpose but the viola
ton o fthe law the school treasurer shall
refund the hnearned portion Of the license

The GunSauluS Lecture.

On Tuesday evening a Canton audi
ence had the rare pleasure of hearing
! DR.. Frank GunsauluS and his famous
Central Church choir of Chicago.
DR.. G%unSauluS is n Of ChiCagO'S
greatest pulpit orators and is identi-
fed with the Armour Institute, one
of the most enterprising institutions
Of that city. He is a man Of unusual
intellect and generous Sympathies, a
keen student Of life and intensely in"
terested in the social problems of the
day.
Ills subject Tuesday evening was,
Life as Illustrated in Music" 1t
was an able exposition of the pySchol-
ogy of music. He said painting,
sculpture. oratory and poetry inter
pref life. yet music, the greatest in
terpreter. may be compared to the
life blood coursing through them all.
DR.. Gunsaulus' profound reasoning
on the subject was rendered clear
and attractive by his magnetic per-
sonality, his exquisite humOr and by
his appeal to the higher emotions.
The songs, aptly selected and beau
tifully rendered, served to prove and
embellish his statements. One felt,
as it we're, lifted from the harmOnieS
of earth to those Of heaven.
The general influence of the lecture
was along religious and ethical lines,
and a magnificent audience was de-
lighted.

Our sufferings we reckon DER,
With skill. minute and formal:
The cheerful phase that fills the score.
We treat as merely normal.
Our list of Ills. how full. how great!
We mourn our lot should fall so,
l wonder. did we calculate,
Our happinesses also?
l doubt. if the maxims the stole adduces
Be true in the main, when they state:
That mans nature improves by adver-
sity's uses.
And is spoilt by a happier fate.
The heart that is tried by misfortune and
pain.
Self reliance and patience may learn;
Yet. worn by long waiting and wishing in
vain.
1t Olsen grows callous and stern.
But the heart that is softened by ease
and contentment.
Feels warmly and kindly towards all:
And it's charity. reused by no moody re-
sentiment.
Hence. in the season of rainstorm and
showers,
The tree may strike deeper its rootS;
But it needs warm brightness of sunshiny
hours
To ripen the blossoms and fruit.

The Superintendent has begun a
movement in the grades looking to
the encouragement of savings ac-
counts among the children. If your
boy or girl has not an account, why
not start one? Inquiry reveals in one
room thirteen depositors, whose &C
counts total 1915.
The highest per cent of attendance
for the past month was 97.5 made by
Miss Manson's room. Second best
was 96.6 by Miss Whitehead's room.
The best of all was the record made
by the boys in Miss Manson's room,
they having 100 in attendance and
but one tardy.
The number of tardinesses was 1873
for the entire school, being about one
for every four pupils. This is too
much. Parents are urged to help
better this record. The smallest
number in any room was two which
was the record of Mrs. Pattee's, Miss
Cline's and Miss Manson's rooms.
Sixty-four patrons visited school
last month. This is quite encourag-
ing, still there might be more. Four
rooms report visits from members of
the board.

Perry Elster recently returned from
Alexandria, Mimi, where he went to
spend the holidays with his brother
Albert who is suffering from a cancer
in the face. Albert was formerly one
of the prominent school teachers of
this county. The cancer has de-
stroyed his power of speech and while
Perry was with him he wrote him a
beautiful letter expressing his love
for him, telling of the great pleasure
his visit had given, and how his faith
in the Lord had grown with his suf-
ferings. The letter Is full of love for
Christ and his dear ones at home, and
expresses firm faith in a meeting over
yonder. The LEADER extends sin
cere sympathy to ~ stricken friend
and we are glad to know his faith in
the future is strong enough that he
can look forward beyond suffering
