A large audience witnessed the en- trance of the enthusiastic high school delegation last night at the Tabernacle They had congregated at the " and received rounds of applause as they filed into the special reservations made for them in the middle aisles.
 Following a roundabout course through the aisles to their reservations about which were twined streamers of crimson and black, the Coyote colors, and above which. draping the supports and the rafters, were similar stream CTS and the decorated letters "P," Fl. 7" "S, the enthusiastic youngsters joined in several of their favorite school yells before they would be seated. Eact yell was followed by rounds of hand clapping from the big audience. Then followed the famous Coyote" song by the well trained voices that so often resOund through the assembly room of their school. The grammar grades oi the city will send a delegation on next Friday night that will attempt to vie the delegation of the greater lights
 Rev. Hart then spoke his words of welcome to the student body, follow ing which the leaders led the clan iE greater yelling which convinced all that their high school possessed students
 
 trained at the football games last fall.
 The preacher then got down to busi- ness and talked about real values in life, investments that pay. and saliva ton from sin, and when at the con- clusiOn of the sermon, those who tes- ufied to the knowledge of Gods S2F- ing grace in their souls arose, that en- tire student delegation, with but few exceptions. were the first on their feet. The evangelist spoke from a strange text: And as thy servant was busy here and there. he was gone" The story is that of the iaiier who failed to keep his prisoner, the text his confession of failure when he was brought to judgment before his com mander. He had been given q task, and becoming busy in other things, failed.
 We are trustees of what God gives us," said the minister. We have lie, but many ever thank God for breath How often do we thank film -or the rain, the sunshine, for health and for tune, and by that I do not mean large wealth, but for the opportunity to work and enjoy the good things of life, and for our friends? How often do we thank God for home, and the church. and the influence of those about Us who help us to live better lives We center our interests in self, and miss the greater blessing. Instead of the best sort of life, we get the small and the insignificant.
 We ought to be thankful for the blessing of opportunity. A lot of us wait around for an opportunity, like the young man who stood on the street corner waiting for job to come along He said he was waiting for something to turn up. Yes, something will turn up for him pretty sOon-a policeman with a club. Opporturiity comes to one who makes it, and this inc;udes the opportunity to get God victory and blessing in the soul.
 Even sick bed is often an OppOr- tunity. God sometimes puts business man in bed and gives him three weeks in which to look up from money get ting the skies, give him a vision ot things greater and better than dol lars; provides an opportunity 70 arouse his soul from stupor and turn to Him for salvation. Sorrow in the home even death, sometimes is an oppor unity to drive home realization of the rejection of God and bring tne ios: one back. Many a calamity is an ops portunity to realize the blessing of healing grace by taking Jesus Christ
 Youth is hot and eager. and full of life but did you ever consider the but terfly and the bee. In the spring the butterfly comes forth, ,,ot or color and we go out with our hands and our nets to choose the beautiful crea. ture, but we don't chase the bee-we go the other direction. Attention is cen tered in the butterfly, whne the bee is forgotten, and it goes out 10 the ciovc- field, draws the nectar from the flow CT, takes out it's little compass, picks out a course and hits bee line to the hive. When the first frost comes the butterfly curls up and dies, While the bee goes back to his hive .o eat n:s own possessions, and he shares with you the product of his industry in the sweetness of the honey upon your ta-
