STUDENTS Considerable Money is Held in Trust for Educational Aid, but Not Enough for Needs. Forty-four University of Nebraska students are meeting part of the cost j of their education by loans that total nearly $7,700, granted from the' fnnds held in trust by the university.' i Fifteen of these loans were granted j this year.

Ecich loan is payable not later than two years after the student has been graduated or has left college.! Every loan but one which will be eventually collected has been paid when due, according to the bursar.

The Sun day school numbered 132 on the rec ord and a collection close up. to $5. The various classes do fine when thPV haVP tVlA nnTinrtllnllw arA tiro. c ' " ..t O.J older folks are sure glad to find the Sunday school boys and girls alive to this part of the work of the church. But the church Services are greatly in need of a regular choir. A choir is a mighty big help to the dig nifying and gracing the work of church. But really no one is to blame for this irregularity of a choir, Sick ness is always a good excuse and. will pass anywhere. But we are sincereiy hoping that this condition will be so improved that when our revival begins our singers will be righj on the job to do their best. We still hold the date for choir practice on Saturday night at the church. May we hare a full attendance. At present writing we have no re pfcrt of the- bazaar' which was, Aiven t- heia 'laif Saturday afternoon by the ladies of the aid. At last some one reported that .every article was sold. The aid has recently organized for a greater business work than ever. They have three divisions and a leader for each division. They "want that the aid as a whole society shall not be wanting or lacking in anyJ thing when the year closes. Sister Edwards is sure a splendid leader in thi3 energetic society. The prayer meeting ha3 promise of greater attendance for Thursday night service. We sure are glad to see this circle widen or enlarge. What is a churc hwithout a prayer meeting? There are plenty of people to care for clubs of all kinds but why should a church turn down a holy club and as big a book for study as the Bible. Our motto Is "Every Church Member at Prayer Meeting," and britig your Bibles. , Now, just a word more about the revival slated for our church to begin on April 15th. The lady evangelist js Miss Clara A. Meeker from Enid, Okla. This writer and pastor has read articles in other papers relative to her revivals and these write up by pastors sure say many praiseworthy words of Miss Meeker. Alvo is surely very fortunate in securing her ser vices. Are we as a church going to be dead in earnest in this revival? If we expect souls saved we must be in earnest. This is the true work of the church. Brothers and Sisters, you have stood loyally by your church thus far now do the same while these meetings are in progress. We must do our part or God can't do His. May we have a real experience and a heart warming time. Every Christian, not Methodists only Is cordially in vited to come. Bring your friends with you.'- Rev. and Mrs. Galloway will be with us through the meeting. May the Good Lord abundantly bless this Alvo revival. The Parent-Teachers association held a meeting last Wednesday night at the school. The house was full. Suffice to say that the program com mittee had the best program this time of them ail. The audience sure enjoyed it, all. . Advertise your wanta in. the Jour nal for results. Nebraska j
