Ropreaciitntive l.loyd Thomas of
Alliance on Friday morning mai( .1
ehort talk to the atudonta of the Al
liance hlRh esrhool. Hla subject w.ia
"Accomplishment" and his talk wan
as follows:
"In addrcaaine. you as my friend
the boys nnl Kirls of Alliance.' 1 (01
that 1 am Kladly tellhiR you some
thing which I appreciate. I have
watched most of you grow from lit
tle folks during the last nine years
up to young men and women. And if
in my talk to you this morning I on
say a word or two which will be help
ful to you in your future life I will
feel that the effort has not been use
less. " I wish that every young man and
young woman might have enkindled
in their lives an invincible determin
ation to do and to be. Why should
n't everyone b u magnificent success?
No one was Intended to be a failure.
Why shouldn't people discover their
great ossibUities and the magnific
ent personality which might be cul
tivated until it would grow and blos
som like a beautiful flower. Why
shouldn't people take up the study of
enthusiasm and make good will, pro
gress, and enterprise part of their
moral law?
"This great world is big enough
and good enough, and grand enough
for every man and woman to succeed
in, and it is possible for every person
on earth to rise higher and higher in
the scale of life until this earth is a
perfect paradise. Think of the de
S)re we may cultivate, and the inspir
ation which would be ours if wn
would bat appropriate the enthusi
asm, courage energy and the zeal that
the great men of every age have left
as a blessed heritage to mankind.
"Think of the glory of putting
heart and soul, and inspiration and
seal into your work, and making it
the pride of your life and the admira
tion of the world, It's the only way
a person can get all that's coming to
him, It's the only natural way to
live. Think of what if all means! .
Not simply that you will realize a
handsome profit from your work
that alone ,i worth striving for:
money is a means to an end, and to
acquire it honorably is a most laud
ible ambition, but success means
vatsly more than profit it means that
you have conquered; you have self
satisfaction; you know that you have
a place in the world.
"Some of you boys and girls, goung
men and women, will soon leave to
take up your life work: others will
continue their education. You will
find hard problems to solve when you
get out on your own resources; yon
will at times be discouraged; you will
want to.Kive up the tipht and creep
back to the protecting arms of fath
er or mother; but life la not a bed of
roses. We must take the bitter with
the sweet the thorn with the rose;
and you have by your invinelble de
termination, by your hard work; by
the drudgery you must go through to
attain success; attained and realized
your ambitions, then you will with
pride look back to your earlier strug
gles and with pride will remember
the battles you have fought.
"On Wednesday I made a trip by
auto to Crawford to attend a good
ronds meeting. On our way home up
In the 1'lne Itidge country, we came
across a little chap weHrily trudging
alongside the road carrying his books
and his dinner pall on the way horn
from school. We stopped and offer
ed to give htm a lift . "Oh, I can walk
it all right" said he. Hut we insist
ed fo ra minute and he gladly climb
ed probably the first ride he had
ever taken in an auto. The little
fellow was brown and ragged but he
was polite and intelligent. And when
we finally let him out near his home
a log cabin on a little farm, the men
remarked to each other, "that little
chap will be a big man some day." It
tonnnded us of the bohood days of
.Vora'um Lincoln.
It isn't the surroundings that make
a man or woman great. You say it
was genius that made men great. It
was doing the thing next to them that
made them geniuses. I tell you, we
need more grit, more nerve, more
"git-up-und-git."
"To be enthusiastic is to be keenly
alive, it is to "forget those things
which are behind and to reach forth
unto those things which are before."
It's no time to put snap into things
"Every great command and command
ing movement in the annals of the
world is the triumph of enthusiasm,"
said Emerson.
"And now, dear friends let us not
forget in this lime of war, when al
though we do not perhaps realize it,
the future of our nation hangs in the
balance, that we owe first our duty to
our flag and we shuold not be slack
ers but should gladly shoulder the
burdens that are laid on us. Our flag
does not represent merely the mater
ial in it, the colors and the stripes.
It represents the spirit of the- na
tion. The poem "The Flag (Joes By," re
presents to me the spirit of todcy:
Hats off.
Along the street there convis
A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums,
A flash of color beneath the sky;
Hats off.
The flag is passing by.
Blc.e and crimson and white it shines
Over the steol-tipped, ordered lines.
Hats off.
The colorBbefore us fly;
But more than the flap is passing by
Sea-liphts and laud-fmhts, grim and
great.
Fought to make and to save th-
State:
Weary liiarehesund finking ships;
Cheers of victory on dying lips;
Days of plenty and ye;irs of peace;
March of a strong land's swift In
crease; Equal Justice, right and law.
tateljr honor and reverened awe.
Sipp of a tuition, great and strong
To ward hei people from foreign
wrong:
Tride and glory and honor, all
Live in the colors to stand or fall.
Mats off.
Along the streets there comes
A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums:
And loyal hearts are beating tilth :
Hats off.
The flag Is passing by.

sums
The President has issued a
proclamation, designating one
day. June 5th as Registration

(provided these are the ages de
cided upon by congress.) This
is the only day on which it will
be possible for a man to register.

ed is exempt from this registra
tion. Every man between these
ages must register on this day.
He will perform this duty at his
regular polling place, which will
be open from seven in the morn
ing until nine I. M
Registration is solely for the
purpose of obtaining a list of el
igible aien in the United States.
After this census has been tak

will follow. While the law Axes
a prison sentence as penalty for
failure to register or to comply
with any of the provisions of the
law, it also provides that where
a man voluntarily presents him

and in the event he is selected,
voluntarily presents himself for
service, his name will be carried

Board, composed of the county
sheriff, clerk and physician, will
appoint registrars for the vari

desirous of having so far as pos
sible, these registrars serve voluntarily.

LESSON FOR MAY 27
ALLIANCE,
NEBRASKA
THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HIS WORK
(PENTECOSTAL LESSON).
LESSON TICXT John 15:-27; 11:7-14.
GOLDEN TEXT He shall teach you ell
things. John 14:.
This lesson followm chapter 15:1-4.
The einphnsis Jesus placed upon the
new and deeper intimacy Into which
the disciples were shout to enter, and
which Involved a participation In per
secutions (v. l!0). However, as a gar
rison and helper when this persecution
should eome. Hie hvlievers are to hiive
iu their lives the Holy Spirit.
I. TjNi Believer nd the Spirit (vv.
-0-''7. The "paraclete" (helper) wns
to proceed from the Father, hut .lesus
was to send him. He Is culled the
"Spirit of Truth" because It Is his
work to revenl the truth, and It Is
through his teachings only that any
one niuy know the truth. Jesus Is the
truth (ch. 14:0). and the Spirit of
Truth Is to enable believers to testify
concerning Jesus. It qualifies them for
such testimony. The disciples also
had the added qualification of expe
rience for "ye have been with me
from the beginning." The disciples
were eye witnesses of what he did
Mini whut he whs. and heard Hnd knew
nil licit he claimed for himself and
what his life proved itself to be.
II. The Sellever and Persecution
(10 :!-). This section has not been se
lected by the committee, but as a part
of the lesson we cannot overlook It.
In It the Master enumerates specifi
cally things (hut were to come to the
disciples and that they might "remCm
ber." He also mentions the fact that
these things are to come after he has
gone away. As a relief from sorrow
fv. 0). the Muster goes on to show the
relation of the Spirit to the world.
III. The Holy Spirit In the World
(vv. 7-11). It whs profitable for the
disciple that Iesa should go. that tin
other IHvlne friend was to take his
dace, ThiS Is the hest section III nil
the Ttilile to teacll the personality oi
the Holy Spirit. The personal pro
nouns In thla section are very signill
cant, there lieittg seven In the thir
teenth verse alone. The word "Com
forter" here used menus that mid much
more. It Is the Siime word translate!'
"advocate." In I John 8:1. It menus
one who J a called upon to stand be
side another iw a helier, counselor,
guide and friend. .Testis had heen this
to his disciples thus fur. but In- was
going au'tiy. and another Friend was
coining, hn should not only he With
them, hot should dwell lii them (Ch,
14:10, 1"). The Comforter has come
and Without him we call do nothing. II"
Is the one wh mvlcts the world
"of atn, of rl irh tryntsMcsa and of Judg
ment." "r eht, ""i been use they have
broken the fioiai code, but because
they flu hot accept .t'-siis t'hrlst US til"
ftfeot Inh (Hebrews 10:2. B eh.
" : i s '!) . In the second place, he Is
to convict the world of righteousness.
The HobJtrdrtl has no other channel
through wh -li h" run gel at the world
except through Ihose who are already
aved. II" stttrwa the world its error
Shout li'-'liteoii-ness ; also th;il Jesus la
the only lightl s one. and righteous
liess Is only possible to Qfl In him
(Phil. -'!:! It. V.). Roeniise he Icis
lived the right life, having fulfilled alt
righteousness, ami untie prt high, b"
therefore coataJrtJ men, hoi the Spirit
does his work through the agency of
the word. Ifnn need!, to know Irsl
of nil that he is a si' iter; second. tTiil
Tosos "the rlghtsouaueaa of tJod." has
provided for us, and It Is ihe Rtdtr
Spirit who alone can show these two
things to men. In the third pbrrc. he
convicts the world of jfthlgUteUt ho-
csuaa "the prig 1 thla world is
Judged." This Judgment is past (aee
John 12 :T1), for Jemta has qgeeed
Karoo, Certainty t itui is a truth that
needs to be ottipha-lzcd in this day.
The Judgment of in and putiNhtiioiit
for sill, due to unbelief or rejection of
le-us I'hiist. Is geldon! preached In
ur day.
IV. The Spirit and Truth (w.
12-151. Titers was lUUCh more that
the Master BjJgM say to the disci
ples, but they were not ready to hear
it (v. 12). He. however, looks for
ward to the day when the Spirit shall
eome, Snd they will be ready to re
ceive He -e things. Tin- Spirit will
ruble Hit in into truth, all truth, for he
-ball not speak of himself the will not
bear witness unto or speak "from"
himself) but the thing's that he will
peak of will he concerning Jesus. The
real evidence of the presence of the
Holy Spirit iu a believer- or III it con
gregation is the degree of egattatloa
given to Jesus Christ,
There Is a progressive intimacy in
John. Trent Beat calls those arho are
at his side, servants (Ch. IS:1A). HS
next calls them friends (I'll. l.VIo).
ainf lastly he calls I Ik-mi brethren
O'h. .it 17). This is the law of
'hristian experience.
Sunday arjiaol teachers should cer
tainly take advantage of this less. in
to bring out the work of the Spirit
(vv. s. ft. in) : the gifts of the Spirit
(I GOT. IS); and the truits ..f the
Spirit (Gal, " 0). Let us be Mire
thin our scholar know what It means
to have a definite, intimate personal
relation willi the all powerful one.

A TRIBUTE TO REPRESENTATIVE NAYLOR
Kcprcscntative Charles Naylor, who represents the district
composed of Dawes and Sioux counties in the state lcgislautre,
had the follow ing well deserved compliment paid to him in a
recent issue of the Columbus Telegram, edited by Edgar How
ard, lieutenant governor:
"Another splendid servant of progressive principles was
sent down from the northwest corner of the state Hon. Chas.
Naylor, of Chadron. In all his legislative efforts he was the
soul of honor the ideal representative of an ogricuHural con
stituency. Often, when hearing him quietly discuss principles
of legislation, for indeed he was always a quiet man, I was im
pressed with the similarity between his expressions and his ar
guments and Ihe arguments of lhat great senator from Ohio
Allen (i. Thufmstl, whose ability and fidelity led the nation to
christen liini "the noblest Roman of them all," from whose
teachings Americans of his flay imbibed best interpretation of
the principles upon wltieh the lejnililie was founded. Is it true
