Appealed to Students to Choose Work for Which Best Suited
The "World Outlook Campaign" closed Sunday evening with a mass meeting of the churches of the city in Praser Chapel, at which Dr. Noran Richardson, Dean of the School of Religion at Northwestern, and formerly of the Boston Theological Seminary, spoke on "Life Work."
Dr. Richardson appealed to the students to select as their life work that work in which their powers can be best exerted. He challenged them to face the idealism of America with out exerting themselves to the fullest, and out trying those who dedicate their lives to a great work." said Dr. Richardson.
Dr. Richardson used Paul as an example of God at work at God's task. Paul had the best education of any man of his day, he had the best ancestry, and the best training as a man of high birth, and yet when he was called to Jesus Christ these serve Jesus Christ he turned his back on what he termed his moral necessities and said, "I am what I am by the grace of God." Dr. Richardson explained that he recognized the fact that these assets were extremely valuable when well used, but he gave examples of men in his past who were some of the biggest fools that the world had ever known.
CHRISTIANITY IS LIKE A SCALI
"Symphony of Life" is Composed o Eight Notes
NUMBER 120.
"The meaning, the heart, and the soul of the Christian religion is embodied in and centered around the eight principles of faith, virtue, patience, self-control, knowledge, goal, trust, perseverance," said Dr. D. W. Kurtz, president of McPherson College, who spoke in the interests of the Inter-church world movement, Friday afternoon in Fraser chapel on the subject: The Symphony of Life." The Women's funeral music for the meeting.
"I never sung," said Doctor Kurtz. "Once tried to and my wife thought the baby had the crop, so I stopped. But when I was a little lad in school I had a music-teacher. I don't remember very much of what that might be like but I do remember about the scale and that it had eight notes.
"So it is with the Christian religion, it is made up of eight notes or principles."
"The first of these notes is faith," continued Dr Kurtz, "and by faith he mean loyalty. Everything that we know about God was given by knowledge but by faith."
"Virtue or purity is the secon note. In times of the ancient Greeks virtue mount courage, and to a corollary, virtue纯, for it takes courage to be clean.
"We now come to the third note, knowledge. The only way to know anything is to either do or explain it, or to learn how to do it and God only by experiencing him.
"The next note is self.control, and by that is meant the mastery of the self."
"The fifth note is patience or streadfastness. If we don't have patience we never get on, for no success can be attained without patience."
"This next note, brotherly-kindness can be attained without patience."
"This next note, brotherly-kindness is one of the most important ones as best in the keynote of society."
"Godliness is the seventh note and by that is meant humility."
"The eight and last note is love and by that is meant God himself."
"when you have all eight of these notes," concluded Doctor Kurtz, "you have perfect harmony, but the truth is that you have to do something today in that it is full of discords."

'CUBS, BE ACCURATE',
BRINKERHOFF'S ADVICE
Pittsburg Editor, K. U. Graduat e, Addresses Classes in Journalism
Fred W. Brinkerboff, managing editor of the Pittsburgh Daily Headlight, addressed several journalism classes this morning on various phases of newspaper work with young reporter will come in contact.
In a talk before the Newspaper II class, he told the qualifications of a young reporter. "He must above all be accurate," was the first comment, and he said that it takes speed. You may place, then, as the two essentials, punctuation and punctuality. The reporter must always be courteous; he must meet those people with whom he daily comes in to interview them. In respect, he should realize that every acquaintance may some day be the source of a valuable news item. Never violate a confidence, but try to make them. Do not overlook little items, but if necessary throw the telegraph story in their favor.
Questions and discussions followed each of Mr. Brinkerhoft's talks. In several classes, he was asked for his opinion of the recent coal strike, and he gave some enlightening information on different sides of the question. He also commented on the side of the governor, the side of the miners and the side of the operators without favoritism. "And," he commented, "when I began to get letters of condemnation from the public from the miners and from the operators, I knew that my attempt at anonymity had been entirely successful."
"If the miners could have advertised their grievances to the public they would have received public sympathy, but this sympathy would have disappeared when they refused Government support to dig coal to prevent suffering."
To another class he made the appeal for humor in newspaper. "I consider it a good day's job when my paper has a laugh in every column"; "I believe that, even the ordinary column should have a smile in it."
Mr. Brinkerhoff is a former student of the University of Kansas. He is on his way to the Republican State Convention at Salina, where it is understood he is the most likely candidate for chairman.

Wandering Arabella Is Found At Last
Arabella has been found. The poor thing was found in the corner behind the dresser and she was nearly dying from lack of water. The little one had been behind the dresser for four days, when she was nearly perished for she needs water more than anything else to keep her alive.
Arabella was found on the river bank some time ago and her discoverers two girls, who live in a rooming house, took her home with them and put her in a large tin pan on the window box. She was shiny and beautiful to look upon and afforded the girls much amusement. Arabella was very lazy. She was never known to even attempt to free herself from the abuse she saw about the highest creature that ever lived in a tin pan or anywhere else, and the two girls had no fear of her trying to run away.
But one evening when they returned from work and went to the pan to have their usual evening chat with their precious pet, behold, the pan was empty. Arabella was A. W. O. L. A hasty search of the room failed to reveal her and she was given up as lost. The other roomers in the basement took to hiding under their beds before retiring. Not one of them bore as much love for Arabella as her two discoverers.
Sunday is cleaning day. That is,
Sunday is cleaning day for working
girls for they haven't any other day
to clean, so the two girls are rearranging the furniture in their room.
And when the big, old-fashioned
dresser was prized loose from its corner to receive its weekly dustin,
there was pearl shells fused in the corner. Her
friends were jablent at finding her
and the other rooms are at least relieved to know that they need not expect to find a turtle slumbering in their Sunday hats.

BOTH SCHOOLS READY FOR ANNUAL DEBATE
Laws and Engineers Will Clash In Fraser Hall Tuesday Night

The students in the School of Engineering are going to attend in mass formation according to Prof. F. N. Raymond. The Laws have been practicing on their yells and are expected to show the Engineers keen competition in the line of "peep" night of the week. H. A. H. A. has suggested that all students in the College turn out to act as referees.
The question for debate is: Resolved: that all strikes in industries engaged in the direct production of food and fuel shall be prohibited by Federal law, and disputes in such industries between labor and capital shall be settled by compulsory arbitration. The affirmative will be supported by the Engineers and the negative by the Laws.

Engineers are one hundred per cent strong on this idea and if the engineers win this year they will show more strength than they have shown before," said Shirley Peters, who is assisting in organizing the laws.
The members of the team represent the School of Law are: Fred Stringfellow, L. O. Fink, and J. W. Mitchell. The team for the engineers is: John Tracey, Richard McGee, and Nathan Mooken.
