HUSKER HARRIERS WIN Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 3. The Corn hufker cross county quintet, by winning a nip and tuck race with the Oklahoma Sooners last Saturday, stamped themselves as a leading con tender for Missouri -'Valley harrier honors. The Huskers have won three straight races, trimming Kansas and Missouri in the two previous meets .Over the Jayhawkers and the Tig ers, the Huskers won easily, while a mere point separated the Sooners and the Huskers in: their Saturday contest. Nebraska's defeat of Oklahoma was an upset. The Sooners had Captain Rutherford, winner of the Missouri Valley race last year, and Niblick, another star distance' runner, to lead their runners. The two men per formed as per expectations, taking first and second place?,-but their team mates failed to - nlaf?1 ahead of the Hufckers and so 'cheated the- Sooners' of the victory. This week, the HuskeK will com pete with the'Drake Bulldogs at De3 Moines. Iowa State has asked that the race be made a triangular af fair, and should the Ames five be entered, the results of the race should show fairly accurately which of ll.e learns will probably win the Valley race.

Challenge to the Future Last Sunday we studied from one of the Epistles which Paul wrote a nrlsnrpr n t IJnmp written tn the Ephesians. He has now lived in Ephesus for three years and had es tablished many churches in Asia Minor. For this cause, and that those who became Christians bought no more of the shrines of Diana, or of the temple, he had to flee. He went then to Macedonia, staying dur ing the winter at Corinth, and while there he determined to go to Jeru salem to fulfill a vow, before he should go to Rome for this had the spirit shown him. But being warn ed that there were some who wish ed to do away with him, he went north to Thessolonica, Berea. Phil lipi, Trois and passing to Ephesus, landed at Militis. He had sent word for the members of the church to meet him at Militis, which many of the members did. When they had come to Militis, he greeted them explaining how he was unable to stop at Ephesus. That town was not then on the sea, but Militis was, although it too is far inland now. He also stated that he wanted this last conference with the elders of the church at Ephesus, as he did not expect to again meet them and they would see his face no more. For Paul had had a vision in which it was shown him he must testify to the Lord Jesus at Rome and he was also shown that bonds and afflictions awaited him. In his address to the members who had come at his call, Paul told them how he knew them all and all knew him. challenging their attention to how he had in the three years he had lived at Ephesus never failed to declare the entire council, telling all in the short May as had the Master, 'Repent and have faith and do as the Master has said. You know with what opposition I met when I was among you and preached and found ed the church at Ephesus as well as all those in Asia. I was stoned and in every way was persecuted, but never shrank from declaring the full council of God. "You remember how I told of how Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary, lived the blameless life, had rreach edthe pure gospel, showing the way of salvation to all whosoever they might td 'who wbuld repent, believe and accrpt -the. promised of the Mas ter." - Now said Paul, "I charge you that ye watch and pray for as the Lord Jesus charged the disciples, Peter, James and John when he had left them at the entering in of the Gar den of Gethsemane, "Watch and pray lest you enter into temptation,' for said the Master, 'the spirit indeed is willing but the flesh is weak. " ' "When I am gone," said Paul, "grievious wolves will enter, not sparing the members of the flock. The Christian life is one of work ing, watching and praying. It may look encouraging and indeed is, but there is work for all and remember, there is a Gethsemane for us all, but as Jesus has said, 'Be ye of good cheer for Lo. I am with you always, even to the end of the world.' " Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox very aptly puts it in her poem Gethsemane In golden youth where seems the earth A summer land of singing mirth When hopes are gay and hearts are light, And not a shadow lurks in sight We do not. know it, but there lies Some where veiled under even ing skies, A garden we must all some times see The Garden of Gethsemane. And Paul reminded them also, as Mrs. Wilcox wrote: All those who journey soon or late Must pass within the Garden gate Must kneel alone in darkness there And battle with some dark despair; God pity those who only pray "Let thi3 cup pass;" Who cannot say, "Thy will be done;" Who cannot see His purpose in Gethsemane. Will See Him-No More While he talked of the work which had been done they were cheered, but when he told them they should see his face no more, they were ap palled and filled with grief. "Even from amongst yourselves there will arise those who will seek to destroy the church. You must watch, for as they have persecuted me, so will they persecute you." Whpn Paul hart tnllrp1 flip matter over with the elders of the church and admonished them to watchfull ness, prayer and ever working for the Master's cause, he knelt on the j sand by the sea shore and prayed, asking the blessing of the Father and the Holy Spirit to direct them in the righteous way. I When he arose to depart they fell on his neck and kissed him. Paul told them they were breaking his heart by their kindness. They then went with him to the ship, and see ing him safely started on his jour ney, returned to their home at Eph esus with heavy hearts TMg practice of -oin a mile with . .. . . . the departing friend is a very nice practice. Peierson HaH, Murray, Usb. Saturday Night, Nov. 7 MUSIC BY- Cy Stafford O-Fiace Qrohesfra of Lincoln The Music that charms. Youil never forget it if you come. In the matter of working for the cause, to which they were admon ished, and ourselves as well, this verse of an old song is very apt, as it applies to us of the present day as well as to those early members of the church: Work 'for the Night is Coming Work for the night is coming; . Work thru the morning hours; Work while the dew is sparkling, Work 'midst springing flowers. Work in the noon day sun; AVork for the nisrht is coming When man's work is done. This life is a life of active, honest, ernest, healthful work not showy, but full, joyful, creative and worth while work with the idea behind it of service to God the giver of every good and perfect gift, and service to your fellow man. whom God has al so commanded you to love "To love God with all your might, mind and strength, and your neighbor as your self."' Many Indict ments by U. S. Grand Jury Operators of Cabaret Raided During Legion Convention Named Also Scribner Physician Omaha, Nov. 2. Eight Omahans. operators of the "Gay Paree" cabaret in operation here during the Amer ican Legion national convention week, were indicted by a federal grand jury here this afternoon. No other indictments concerning the Legion were returned. . The men are: Pat Boyle, Joe Ja cobs, James Trolan, John Francis, Packey Gaughan. Sam Zeigman, Jake Crounz and Harry Markel. They are alleged to be the men who oper ated the cabaret which was closed during the last two days of the con vention by prohibition agents who charged that the liquor law was be ing openly violated. No action was taken by the grand jury relative to the films that were shown by the Fontenelle Film company of the "Forty and Eight" hospitality, but Max Waintrob, pres ident of the company, refused to tes tify and it is assumed the govern ment is pressing a further investiga tion of the films which depicted French life in "risque fashion" ac cording to federal investigators. Narcotic law indictments were re turned against Dr. Lee van Camp, county physician and Dr. Charles E. Barnes, the latter on twelve vounts. Bond for the county doctor was fixed at $10,000. William J. Hootz, an Omaha at torney, was indicted on a charge of conspiracy to violate the Mann act. Outstanding among liquor indict ments were those against Casey Gaughan, Jack Norton, Charles Hut ter, Louis Meek, James J. Silk and James J. Corceran, alleged "higher ups" in a beer bootlegging ring. All were arrested when aces of the pro hibition department spent several weeks in piling up evidence against them in alcoholic traffic. Altogether 114 indictments were returned. Four were withheld be cause those named were not under arrest or located. The jury was dis missed subject to recall any time un til the first Monday in April.
