Christianity Appeals to Roughnecks, Says Dr. Hanson at Forum
Herman of Chicago, Former 'Y Secretary Here. Will Be
Using Albert Payton Terrucca's idea that religion appears to the common person, whom he characterized as "a man of great millions" better to do good than to be good, the speaker said that he believed God was far from being an insecrete one.
Next Speaker
"Christianity appeals to the rough neck because it is a vital thing that helps us be more open-minded." W. C. Hamson, manager of the Methodist Book Concern of Kansas City, an organization that unites forum today. "What rejoice means to me" was the title of his book.
"Love is an illustration of this. The dictionary gives a definition of love, You can go to the theater and have loved it. But the real appreciation of love does not come till you have married it. Jesus did this to relish."
"The roughness of religion becomes a part of his life's experience," he added. "His religion is entirely due to Jesus Christ that religion is a matter of experience. It is this experiencing of Christianity that sets it off from other religions." The anguishment by a Christian is an essential part of religion is that he dramatizes and romanticizes it and so makes it a thing that the ordinary person can experience, was thought by Doctor Thomas McGivern in the same drama that grims the people.
"Throughout all the ages, the influence of only one man has increased with the passing of time. This is because the roughhawk has learned that he can trust Christ's leadership and have success in his experiences his leadership and its results."
In conclusion, Doctor Hanan says that the one way to treat a religion is to teach it properly. "When this treat is applied to Christianity it proves the superiority of it over the other."

Big Indoor Battle Looms on Horizon for Track Squad
Evening
All Big Six Teams Pointing for Title Events at K. C.
on Next Friday
Using the K. C. A. C. meet, in which all the Big Six teams competed, as a measurement for comparison, the University of Oklahoma would seem to be the most reliable state for Nebraska next in line and the Jayhawkers in fourth place.
A close and furious hand to hand battle for points seems to be the program for the Big Six track meet in Convention hall this Friday evening. It may be the winner, the flip of a coin or determine the winner, so evenly are the teams matched.
Sooners Strong inDash
The Sooners are strong in the dash, field and hurdle events, while the Cormbunkers collected their points in the dash, pole, race and half-mile run.
A careful comparison of the strength of the different schools reveals that the events not cited by them were much more or more of the others, so it may be that the points not won by the local tracksters will be divided evenly enough between the rest to insure a K. U. when the final count is made.
The middle-distance dash will be one of the best events in the meet. Kan-cho Hinehaw, both good half-milers. This event was won by Moody. Kansan Agang is battling his opponent Carinahuncker on his heels. Missouri is having much on Epicopia, especially on the mile run. There will be many good men in this event, which should make
Kansas Hag Distance Runs
As Moody was the only one of the Argies to score in the former meet, little hope is expressed that the Kan- wan will figure in the big running.
The two distance runs are practically clinched by Runo Francier, and there is only a bare possibility of any more than limited lajada chase competition.
The Nebraska team is well balanced, and it is possible that they might establish their strength in the coming fray. The Cornhuskers downed the Minnesota, a count of 50 to 45, and completely defeated the Kansas Argus, 72 to 18.
Missouri Is Weak
Kansas crushed Missouri in the recent dual meet with Ash absent from the dayhawk team, and Fortune and John also missed. Both men are back in shape now and from all appearances the dayhawks will have a mighty good shot for the ballboys.
The Tiger will undoubtedly win the mile relay as they have completed the circle in much better time than any of the teams. However, as Ash is running again for Kansas, the relay crown in a good bid for the relay crown.
At all events, Coach "Doe" Huff and his warriors are determined to give the Big Six boys some real competition, so that when the final count comes up, they will know that the Jayhawk was with long claws and sharpened bill.
