As ! know you.are inter.
ested in the lrogress and welfare Of
the Univefsityof Kansas so / take
this time to write and let you know
something coDcering the activities OF
the University.
We can scarcely realize that almost
year Of college life has past; that it
will soon be time to bid our friends
farewell and return to our homes 10
enjoy the summer vacation. Some
perhaps will not so home when
school is out, but will remain here to
attend the summer session which be-
gins the eigth' Of June.
This year there are larger num-
Der of graduates than ever before
known to the University. There is a
total number of four hundred and
nineteen and about fifty more than in
the class Of last year. The various
schools represented are the graduate
ftly-6ve; college one hundred seven.
ty-fve; LaV fifty 6vel pharmacy
eighteen; Fine arts twenty two, Edu
cation six; medicine twenty-five and
in that number are included four
nurses and eighteen physicians. of
this number of graduates three are
from Great Bend; Novma Mering,
college, Charles Hooper, college, and
Roy NcMullen. law Those four
hundred and nineteen students are
Certainly good representation from
tie University and when these have
all gone out into their various occu-
pationS the University will become
still more widely known drought the
country.
The commencement address this
year is to be given by DIR. Albion w.
Small a man Of great ability ana tact.
He is the author of several books,
editor Of the American Journal of
Sociology in the University Of Chicago
Commencement week closes with the
University dinner in Robinson gym
nasium.
These last few weeks Of school
which are left certainly will be busy
ones for the students. The May Fete
one of the greatest events of the
school year is 10 be held the twelfth

The May Queen and her attendants
have all been chosen and great pre-.
parationS are being made for the af-
fair. Several recital will be given by
the graduates Of the Fine Arts School
and also a commencement concert
will be held the latter part of May by
the students of the School of music.
A new honorY sorority, the Mu p
Epsilum, has been organized III that
school for the advanced students in
piano and voice. This organization
will be of mutual benefit to that
school and will be an inspiration 10
the less ambitious students.
Examination week commences the
tweuty-ninth Of May and everyone
awaits this with a feeling Of dread,

idea Of the last few weeks of work at
the University and as one Of our

tives. hope you are in sympathy
with the advancement and progress
Of this great institution and that this
will prove Of interest to you.
Yours Respectfully,

ATHLETIC NOVELTY
SPRUNG IN WEST

Chicago, Jan. 23.-The first 1911
athletic novelty in the West was
sprung today by Coach a. A. Stagg
of the University of Chicago when he
announced a new constitution design .
ed to insure safe and sane" inter-
collegiate track meets.
1t will get its first try-out Saturday
when the Chicago track men meet
Northwestern at Evanston.
The chief features are: The num-
ber of participants Is limited TO four.
The hurdles are to be nailed. The
440-yard and the Ss0-yard run shall
start from opposite sides of the track
the mile and two-mile run shall start
on the same side.
If on the last quarter mile, the
third and fourth man of one team
shall be Tapped he shall drop out
In the high jump the bar shall start
at four feet six inches, be raised two
inches at time until five feet high
After that 1t is to be raised one inch
at time.

capable OF it,. ~
The two flood stories which appear
side by side contradict eact other
and in their details. IL taken literally
tell us absurdities. The highest noun
tains are said to have been covered
with water, but all the water of the
earth would not suffice to cover the
lowest mountains. II was said that a
male and female of every kind of ami
NAL and of every creeping thing were
taken into the Ark while we know
that 1t has taken a great many years
to collect one of every living animal
for scientific purposes. 1T may be
added that II would have taken a fleet
of ships as large as the british navy
to carry this menagerie while Noah
had vessel smaller than one battle
ship. The world described in this
story was that which existed before
history began and 1t is probably a
legend founded on fact. A volcanic
eruption sometimes mandates whole
areas and may seem world wide
flood to it's victims. But this flood was
not miracle worked by the God OF
Abraham.

Calvary Evangelical Church.

Rev. Weatherwax delivered a re-
vival sermon to large audience yes
terday evening at Calvary Evangel-
ical church.
The text for the sermon was Rev
3-20, Behold, stand at the door, and
knock. If any man hear my voice.
and open the door, | will come in to
him, and will sup with him and him
with me-"
Christianity Is Christ living His life
over again In His creature man. Men
seem slow to recognize the fact
that salvation is not in laws, rights
and ceremonies but in and through a
living Christ-a divine person. The
first thought of the text is Behold, l
stand at the door and knock" Who
stands at the door? Christ stands at
the door of the sinner and of the back
slider Why does Christ present Him
self to the sinner? Because the sim
ner man needs Chrlst's friendship,
companionship. courage. needs Christ
as a guide. Christ is always knock
ing--the call of the church, the appeal
through the death of one very dear,
the need of those about us, in them
all we may hear Christ knocking at
our door. "If any man hear My voice
and open the door, l will come in to
him." Do we always hear His voice
Christ speaks often to sinners who
do not hear His voice and why do we
not answer? The answer to this is
prejudice, wickedness in the life, or
lack of interest. The sinner man must
open the door. Christ cannot, but
when the door Is open, Christ enters
Many say 81 want peace, or joy, or
happiness, or comfort, or fear re-
moved, but accepting Christ brings all
Of these and much more and without
accepting Him, we will find none OF
them.
st. Paul says, "Wlll He not with
Him also freely give YOU all things?"
To that sinner man who accepts
Christ, He brings the divine spiritual
feast unknown to the world.

unitcd Rrcthrcn Church.

Rev. A. Il. Davis of Shelby spoke
at the United Brethren church In the
absence of Rev. Miles, taking as the
subject of his remarks the three
words. "Come, Tarry, Co." with three
texts from Mark 1911, Luke 24:49 and
Mark 1915, for each work.
He explained the great invitation
that Christ issues for the people to
come to Him as He is the greatest
teacher. They should go to Him for
truth as He is the source of truth.
From the word "Tarry" he con-
veyed the idea OF tarrying in the city
of Jerusalem until your are clothed
with the power from on high. the
necessity of waiting for God and re-
ceiving from Him the holy spirit.
The command of Christ is to go out
and make disciples of all nations, the
rich and the poor, the downcast and
the unsaved and bring them in. This
is the great business of the church of
God.
In the evening Rev. Davis subject
was weighed in the Balance and
Found Wanting" He described to the
people the magnificent city of Baby
ION anu TIC SDltHupA VI Aii' ApobF i'i'
ian empire under the rule of Belshaz-
zar and Nebuchadnezzar.
He pictured the great wall sur
rounding the city. so strong that nc
army could gain entrance. Belshaz-
zar's drunken feast, the hand writing
on the wall. the fear and terror of the
king at that time. Daniel was sum
moned and interpreted the writing
the king was killed and the city
destroyed. His object of placing this
picture before the eyes of his hear
ers was to demonstrate the reward
of wrong doing and that drunkenness
and prodigality will lead to the down.
fall of any nation. city or individual.
Revival meetings will be held at
the United Brethren church this week
every evening at o'clock except Sat
urday and every afternoon at 2
o'clock except Monday

QUARTERLY MEETING SERVICE
Interesting Morning Sermon
Preached at Presbyterian
Church.
Communion Service at Epworth Morn
ing Scryicc-Evangelis Services
Bcgin--Out of Town Ministers Fiji
Several Pulpits.
Dr. Wickcrsham at Epworth.

"And he that was dead, stood up.
bound hand and foot with grave
clothes. Jesus said unto them, Loose
him and let him GO" This was the
text taken by l.. B. Wickersham in his
sermon at Epworth church, Sunday
evening.
Mr.. Wlckcrsham based his discourse
on the sentence Loose him and let
him go" EXhorting his hearers to
help free souls morally bound hand
and foot, as Lazarus was bound with
the grave clothes. He first brought
to the notice of his audience, the fact
that Jesus did not use his own power
to speak the stone away from the
grave. but insisted that the people
standing near should lift It them
selves. God never does anything for
an individual. a country or n city.
which they can do for themselves
A great many people never learn that.
But when the people had rolled the
stone away. then they had reached
their limit. They could not raise the
dead. they could do no more. But
mans extremity is Gods opportun.
ity. Where mans faith is exhausted,
Gods strength links on. Jesus said,
Loose him and let him go. As Lazarus
stood there, hampered hand and foo;
with the grave clothes, he was SYM
bolical of the moral and mental con-
dition of the soul as 1t is born into
the world That is our business as
teachers and preachers of the gospel
to loose them and let them go. A
soul is an immortal seed, but 1t doth
not yet appear what II shall be, until
we loose it and let 1t go. And the man
or woman who does this is doing the
greatest work in the world When
get to heaven / want to meet some
one there who'll be glad to see me-
and will shake me by the hand and
say IF it hadn't been for you.
wouldn't be here"
Mr.. Wickersham then gave a num-
Der Of illustrations showing how diff
ferent people have sacrificed them
selves and their interests for the sake
Of uplifting those they love. What
were they doing? Loosing the mem
tai and moral bands on those souls
You say you haven't the money to
help people. Why people don't want
your money. they want you. Want
your sympathy your love and your
help. If this church would get this
as an inspiration there would be such
a revival here as has never been
known before I'm the history of this
county II we would all say 81 will
go out and loose these souls" then
there would be such a revival I'm the
midst of the people as has never been
before experienced.

ST. PauI,s Episcopal Church.

The subject taken by Rev. Brown
of tho st. Paul Episcopal church was
Miracles of the Old Testament" 4"
Miracles consist in the overcoming
of the common laws of nature by over
powering will, Jesus is the greatest
example of this and there are others
less eminent but the reason for the
power can't be gven--it Is probably
the especial need of the time or un-
unusual ability in a personality that
causes this phenomenon.
Upon what grounds must a miracle
rest? A mere tradition Is not suf-
ficient because It has no firm founda :
tiOn. There are people whose very
faith is founded upon miracles and
we must admit that there are a proof
of divinity. His religion, however,
does not rest upon physical miracles,
which are the subject of this dis
course, but upon moral miracles, mir
acles Of such power that they resur-
rected a dead world. Even the unbe-
lieving historian Gibbon, gives us a
most impressive picture of wild saw
ages changed to reverential soldiers by
this purifying and elevating divin-
ity. The greatest of skeptics must
admit that the life of Jesus was the
greatest ever lived. However, 1t is the
weight of an accompanying spiritual
miracle which must be attached ia
the physical miracle in order that il
will be believed. Miracles rest up
on christianity, christianity does not
depend upon miracles. The miracles
of the new testament are really the
cIimGS toward which the prophesies
gain much from the Christian reve-
of the Old Testament point and they

First Presbyterian Church.

The morning lesson at the Presby-
terian church was read from first Cor
inthans. the 12th chapter and Rev.
Rourke chose as the basis of his re-
marks the eth verse. Nov we are
the body of Christ, pnd severally mem
bers thereof"
Rev. Rourl<c admonshed his au-
ience to not permit the diversity OF
opinions of the fundamental prin-
cipcs OF the Presbyterian church in
tcrfere with their work in seeking
salvation. "The body OF Christ Is the
church, the word of God is the infall-
ibe rule of faith and conduct and
Jesus Christ has control of wisdom,
knowledge and compassion"
Vie described the government of
the church, which Is representative
and of two branches of the teaching
and the ruling elders, but said tina,
the fundamental principle of the
government are promulgated by the
son of God, Some thing II believe in
the Holy Catholic church" to be an
erroneous statement and connected
with the Roman Catholic church
but Rev Rourke explained the diff
ference between catholicism and ca.
tholicity The one plan of salvation
running from Genesis to Revelations
Is to be saved by the blood. He car
ricd his audience from the beginning
through the dark ages. the early strug
giles of the church down to the pres
ent day and pointed out that the men
of each period clung to the unda-
mental doctrines of Christ.
Tn part he said: "The Presbyterian
church of the past will he the Pres
byterian church of the future with nc
alterations, no new creed and no new
doctrine but great need for new ac-
tivity. The Bible does not contain
the word of God. The Bible Is the
word of God. Jesus Christ suffered
and died, making lntercessions for you
and me and adherence to the prin'
ciples Of Christ is the best doctrine
