RELIGIOUS VALUE OF
UNIVERSITY TRAINING

BY ArtIhr B. RrIscl'. Instructor
IN Mathematics, University of Kan
sas: An institution dependent on the
public for financial backing and
moral support must Justify its exist
ence by service rendered to the COM
munity. Kansas people rightly re-
gard religion as one Of the serious
concerns Of life and demand Of their
university such presentation Of relig-
ious truth as It's importance requires
A university stands or truth--his-
togical, scientific, phIlosophic. 1t
erlbcdies the belief Of learned men
that the studies Of q hundred genera
tlons have brought to light facts
which It isworth while for present and
future generations to know. These
facts arranged and classified accord
ing to the several branches Of science
ana the arts, are here presented TO
the youthful or the inquirilg mind
ana come to form the grounds Of the
students judgments about the world
IN which he lives. II the student
profits by his university training he
will be led to draw his own conclu-
sions and not accept secondhand
those Of some other man, not even
Of his teacher.

All Of us would be drawing ten

nothing but physical strength to hold
down the big Jobs.
Years ago / knew, great big
husky man who was never known to
work. He was very religious and
never missed service or prayer
meeting. He used to stand around
on the streets and say that he put
all his trust in the Lord and knew
that he would not starve. He would
quote scripture about the ravens and
the people who had believed and were
fed. He had plenty Of faith but the
storekeeper didn't and he couldn't
get trusted for a sack Of flour. His
wife was a meek and Iowly soul who
kept chickens and COW and occa-
sionally did q family washing for
some neighbor. The old mans voice
used to ring out in testimony at the
REVEALS, but his wife never had any
thing to say. Finally the good wo-
man passed to her reward and the
old man sold the COW and the chick
ems and went to live with a son. The
son moved away and there was only
one place left for the man with faith
the poor house and he went there.
when the time came for him to UNI
loosen his mortal coil and fly away
to his golden harp he looked up and
said ID the doctor: Brother Just
have faith and all will be we'll" I'll
bet that fellow never saw the pearly
gates.

GOD KNOWS

There are graves in southern valleys
where the sweet magnolia
blooms.
Where the birds sing in the morning
DER the soldies's lonely tombs:
There are graves on northern hillsides
Tapped in the winters snow,
Who are the lonely sleepers, but God
alone may know.
1t may be your blue-eyed darling, oh,
mother with snowy hair.
Who marched at his country's calling,
so young, so brave, so fair;
In the flush of his glad young manhood
he left you long ago,
If he be the lonely sleeper, there is
none but God may know.
Oh wife that mourned the lost one
through all those lonely years,
Whose heart is weary waiting, whose
eyes are dimmed with tears,
1t may be the one that left you to
bravely meet the foe
In the valley or on the hillside there
is none but God may know
We only know that they are sleeping,
our brave and gallant dead
Unnamed their place of slumber, no
stone at foot or head
To tell the weary watcher whether this
be friend or foe,
Who sleeps the sleep that knows no
waking, but God alone may
know.
Then bring the fresh, sweet blossoms,
oh mothers with hearts still sore
Der the loss of the blue-eyed darling
whose football is heard no more:
Though thy hands may scatter the
blossoms upon strangers
breast,
Some hand and some heart rs tender.
may deck thy darling's place of
rest.
Yea, scatter the fresh spring flowers
alike DER each lowly head;
Little, indeed, to Us it rccketh, who
are the silent dead,
Asleep meath Magnolia blossoms or
Tapped meath northern SHOWS,
Let our hearts breathe the glad thanks
giving, thank God, our Father
knows.
