WHAT is LENT?

How carlessly we drift through life,
busy it is true, but busy about the
things that make the least real differ
ence in life. How much of our time is
spent not merely in providing for the
necessities of the body, but also in sup
plying it with luxuries and pleasures.
How little of our time is spent in the
cultivation of our real natures? How
seldom do we get down to the funda-
mentals of life, and how constantly
do we fit about on the surface?
What is Lent? 1t is an opportunity
given us by the church for the re-
covery of our balance. 1t is the period
of forty days before Easter set aside
to rediscover our destination and give
a little serious thought to u methods
of attainment. The call of Lent comes
to each one of us whether we keep it
or not. What is the purpose and end
of your life and how are you fulfilling
that purpose? 1t is during these forty
days that the church bids her sons
and daughters put to themselves anew
these eternal questions and seek their
nswe as did our Lord in His forty
days Of temptation in the wilderness.

GILMAN-ANDERsoN RECITAL

The Gilman-Anderson recital Thurs
day evening proved a very enjoyable
event as have beer all the numbers of
the Y. M. G. A. course, and as is GUS
tomary in Brookings, a large audience
was in attendance.
Three numbers of the opening group
by Mrs. Gilman, the Arensky Etude,
the Raft Rigaudon and the Gluck-
Joseffy Arietta, were especially delight
full while the List Waldesrauchen
displayed ample technical control. We
were perhaps unfortunate in hat Mrs.
Gilman did not choose to include in
her program more of Chopin's works,
since it was in the Chopin Ballade in
G Minor in which she was at her best.
Her lectures, while possibly a little
long, were interesting and instructive.
Her accomplishments alone proved her
musicianship.
While the shorter numbers by Miss
Anderson afforded great pleasure, it
was not until the final number that
her greatest task was presented, and
her real worth determined, in the Men
delssohn Allegro vivace from the
Violin Concerto. OF the smaller mum
bers, the Wieniawski Adagio was con
s~picuous for its good tonal quality and
the Mylnarski Mazurka and Kreisler
Leibesfreud were particularly attrac.
tive from their brilliancy and rhythm.
The fourth number of the course is
to be given by Hamlin Garland Febru-
airy 23rd.

The CrOw's-Nest

Visitors returning from Pierre report
a very ~listless session Of the state leg
islature. The members seem to be put
ting in their time conscientiously in
porting over the many bills that are
up for consideration, attending com
mittee meetings and in voting on bills
reported out from the various com
mittees. Very few bills Of general
interest have been considered as yet
and the indications are that there will
be no startling measures introduced
this year. Nothing will be known
about appropriations until late in the
session. state College is a well favor
ed institution and ought to get fair
treatment.
Something was said in last weeks
papers about a boys club in this city
which was proving quite a success.
There is no reason why such a e
ture should not be successful provid-
ed that the boys are inspired with the
right ideals. 1t shows that these
young people have some initiative
and If they keep their equilibrium
they will be business and professional
leaders in the next few years. The
boys and young men that are practi-
cally helpless in regard to providing
themselves with amusements and di-
versions will be almost helpless in
business matters in after years. The
contention that ii is the duty of So
ciety 10 furnish free entertainment
and loafng places for idle young men
Is not a reasonable one. If they strike
out TO try to help themselves they
ought to be encouraged and will re-
help If they need ii and ask for
t. The trouble is, at the present time,
hat our youthful citizens are too de-
pendent on the public for free amuse-
nents and entertainment. If they
Ire required to pay for entertainment
hey expect to get double the amount
hey pay for. This is all wrong. 1t
s spelling our youth by undermining
heir initiative. II young men help
themselves in providing places for
~ecreation the public would gladly con-
means to help them. |,
