Employes of a big onuuui siure are to hear lec tures during the week on “store service.” This is one of the features of modern merchandising. Stress is laid on service, which means taking care of the cus tomer or prospective patron in ways of which he per haps never dreamed. It means to anticipate his Vants, his convenience and comfort, and while leav ing him free to choose, to aid him in coming to a conclusion. A great cross-section of life might be displayed In this phase of selling goods. After all, is not life in a great measure merely a selling game? A musi cian of established name, speaking to a group of Omaha men during the week, spoke of selling his goods, by which he meant he had had to put before the public the one thing he had to sell, his musical ability, in such fashion as would induce purchase. Every man, when he sells himself, should also sell service. w nai win tnat service be: nicy also serve who only stand and wait.” Not all may be leaders, but all can be servants, and he does best who gives his service with the least grudging and the best spriit. No one ever know entirely what his influence in the world has been; he may not even measure its effect on those nearest to him, but he may be very certain that it has some effect, not on a few but upon all. One coral insect could never build a reef, but un numbered millions of coral insects working together have reared islands from the depths of the ocean, where nature is beautiful and man is happy. Each of these tiny bits of animal life contributed some thing to the building of the reef. Service is a little more than the selling of goods; it is also a selling of self. If the transaction is sin cerely made, the sale is not to meet the requirements of the moment, but to build for the future, a coral insect adding its mite to the accumulation that soon will tower a giant pile of accumulated influence. It is a priceless asset for a business, a gem beyond com pare for individual character. Life is made up of little things; the hero meets the emergency, and wins the loud applause; yet just as heroic, though not so spectacular is the one wbo steadily pursues the path before him, giving heed to the things that fall into his care, and ac quitting himself so that the end of each day will find someone recalling an act that gleamed with the true spirit of service. Such a life is the true service of God; for it is not in the temples alone the Most High is worshipped, but in the factory, the workshop, the store, the ofice or wherever one is called upon to labor. Deeds done for the good of men are the truest form of wor ship, the highest of service, and all may unite in this, without regard to other belief. BEAUTY SPOTS IN NEBRASKA. Nebraskans often are inclined to express pride tti their state by extolling the many commercial ad vantages. So much time Is spent in the effort to secure substantial benefit through commercial, man ufacturing or agricultural avenues that no effort is made to take advantage of its many natural beau ties, which tend to elevate and ennoble the mind, as well as to impart health and strength to the body. Therefore, doctors send their patients to other states to induce them to seek a change from the sameness and continual grind to which they have subjected themselves in the inevitable struggle— not for existence but for subsistence. The same relief could be secured within the boundaries of our own state if advantage were taken of it. Few states in the union have as great a varia tion of scenery as has Nebraska. No one needs to go through the horrors and torture of a nervous breakdown for the want of variety. Many little towns of the state have their spots of natural beauty provided to gratify the beauty loving spirit of man that he may find rest from the monotony of every day work. Fullerton’s beautiful natural park is one of Clod’s beauty spots, which many enjoy every sum mer during chautauqua, or at other times when quiet is desired. The many little rustic cottages show the civic pride and appreciation which Fuller ton entertains for this wonderful spot of beauty. When wearied in mind or body, there is no relaxation that can quite compare with a picnic lunch and walk beneath those magnificent trees on a hot sum mer’s day, or the grand view from the top of Lovers’ Leap. In all truth, we should avail ourselves more of the manifold' blessings which surround us. We can not realize the wonderful privilege of living— the blessings we inherit, until we learn to appreciate the glories and beauties of the universe, which lie at our very door. DREAMS AND REWARDS. Much of the mother’s life is made up of dreams. Especially is this true of the early years when the | babies are settling into the nest. In the life that mothers must lead there is much time for think ing, and out of the glittering stuff that floats so readily about her, she fashions wonderful garments to clothe her children. The little smocks and frocks on which she works with loving rare are poor and I pale compared with the glorified creations of her dreams. These serve as a pattern to which she trios to shape the lives committed to her. She finds it hard to make the pattern fit the material at hand. But with patience she tucks here and lets out a bit there, cutting away the edges. There arc stubborn seams in unexpected places arid rough spots that must be hidden. Sometimes the ideal is changed, modi bed or enlarged. And all along the way are doubts and dreads and dangers. But there are joys and smiles and hopes to offset them. Ah well, for mother’s dreams. They have a part in life and serve their purpose. Children seildom attain the heights that, mothers have dreamed for them. Sometimes they seemed pos * eessed to travel far and fast toward the depths ami the glowing dream is shattered by evil. Shame ami disgrace spread a staining blot over the fair pat tern. The supreme tragedy of a mother’s life is ir the sin of her elfin;. iter justification, her joy unc reward is founrl in his worth and well doing. i 1 “WHEN A FELLER NJDEDS A FRIEND.” Two events took place in Omaha last week that deserve attention. One was the organization of a committee that plans to raise a fund by which to enable struggling genius to find expression. The other was the awakening of a public sentiment in favor of making a place for John G. Neihardt at the University of .Nebraska. Musicians are born, that is great ones, and so are poets. But it requires a lot of preparation for them before they are able to pour out in melody or verse the visions or emotions they entertain. The world honors them, delights in them, and neglects them, when it comes to making return for their service. Mr. Neihardt has had many words of com mendation, much praise in public prints, and letters that encourage him, neither of which will get him credit at the grocer’s or with any other of the dealers in necessaries of life. Amy Lowell tells us the world is turning to poe try, that verse is in demand. Perhaps this is true. A Neihardt is as much an asset to his times as an Edison, but in a different way. The poet’s works are expressive of the spiritual side of man's life, as the inventor’s are of the material, and the one is needed to balance the other, if life is to be sym metrical and well rounded out. So it is with the musician. Little Sammy Carmel is in just the same place that little Mischa Elman was a few years ago, or Kocian, or Kubelik, or anyone of that long list. He is struggling against odds for the hearing his soul yearns for. A place at the university for Neihardt will bring credit to the state that already has given him n high compliment without material advantage. If the local committee succeeds in translating-its enthus iasm into a fund for the assistance of those stu dents of music or other arts who need help, it, too, will have brought credit to the community. America pours out W'ealth in unstinted measure to reward genius from abroad. Without disparag ing the guests from other shores, might it not be well to encourage home talent, at least to the point of giving ;t a fair chance and a decent living? THE FAMILY ALTAR. In childhood and youth the possibilities and hopes of the future are so alluring that few stop to even think of the many beautiful incidents of the home life; which, in themselves, seem trivial, but which later prove of such great moment in the lives of those who are permitted to enjoy their molding influence. It is only when the young have passed out into the world, beyond its social threshold, do they realize that the privilege of a life made sublime and beautiful by family ties, in a Christian home, is a benediction for all time. To the homesick boy or girl who has been nur tured in an atmosphere created by Christian par ents, the thoughts will turn toward home as the dusk of evening settles. The mind reverts to the vision of a dear face lighted by mother love as the bed-time stories are told, which later give place to those of divine inspiration, of which no child tires when they come from the lips of a mother who has spent much time and thought on the Bible. The image of a white-robed little figure, kneeling at mother's knee lisping the childish prayers will ofttimes cause this grown-up child, longing for the mother love, to unconsciously repeat those supplica tions of childhood which are almost forgotten, but which tend to bring peace and refreshing sleep. Another picture on the mental vision is of a noble father bowed over the open family Bible as he reads and explains passages from its pages to the group listening in reverent silence. Now comes the hymn, softly sung by the little circle, before all humbly kneel while father offers up a prayer which makes each feel that he is in the presence of God. These are not merely forms of the past, for those reared in such a home know that something vital is lacking when these practices are omitted. The customs of earliest childhood are seldom cast I aside when the new home is established. Such cus toms are vital in molding the citizenship of a Christian nation. WHAT IS IMAGINATION FOR? Enormous crowds pressed into the huge amphi theater at Rome, filling the seats until hundreds of thousands were ranged in tiers, waiting for the show. Under the blazing sun of an Italian summer day they I watched men battle against each other, and against savage beasts, to the death. They saw Christian maidens fed to lions, they saw old and young cap ' tives, or offenders, torn to bits by tigers or trampled I by elephants. They were seeking thrills, and they wanted the “real thing. ’ Have we made much advance? We do not turn “thumbs down” to condemn a fallen man to re ceive the death stroke from the victor who stands over him waiting the mob’s verdict. Our tender feelings would not permit such a performance today. Yet the longing for thrills, for the "real thing,” still permeates the mind, and, however sen sitive we may be, we will accept the performance as greatest that most nearly pushes the action to the ultimate point of death If the actor braves the danger and escapes, it makes his performance all the more worthy. The news stories have just come through from Los Angeles which give emphasis to this craving on part of the public. In two instances film actors have been seriously burned by fires, started for the purpose of giving a touch of verisimilitude to the scenes of a picture. Here will be a very nenr imi tation of a genuine fire, when the pictures are of fered to tthc public—realism carried to an extent that seems beyond reason. Not so many years ago a bucolic play was ex hibited under the title of “Blue .leans,” Its princi pal scene was where the villain tied the hero to a .sawlog and set the machinery in motion to saw the victim in two. On one occasion something went wrong, and the machinery could not be stopped until the hero had lost an arm. The audience did not see that part, but it narrowly missed perhaps the most realistic presentation of the noted snw mill scene ever staged. Of course, a different and safer form was adopted for the future presentation of the play, but that did not give the maimed actor back his missing right arm. When the managers and producers give over their relentless pusuit of “the real thing,” and leave u little more to the imagination of the onlooker, it may enhance enjoyment. Even the dullest of us scarcely is entertained by the thought that the ef fect shown on stage or screen is achieved at rest of human suffering, not to say of life. The Reparations commission admits the correct ness of the United States hill for maintaining the army in the Rhineland, but regrets to report that there is no money on hartd to pay it. Oh, very well; we are getting used to it. South Carolina will banish pool and Itillinrds, .but child labor remains a cherished institution there. April Theology -By JOHN O. NEIHARDT Oh to he breathing and hearing and feeling and seeing! Oh the ineffably glorious privilege of being! All of the world's lovely girlhood, unfleshed and made spirit, i Broods out in the sunlight this morning—I see it, I hear it! I So read me no text, O my brothers, and preach me no creed; i 1 ain busy beholding the glory of God in His deeds! ! See! Everywhere buds coming out, blossoms flaming, bees humming! j Glad athletic growers up-reaching, things striving, becoming! ] oh, I know in my heart, in the sun-quickened, blossoming soul of me, j This something called self is a part, but the world is the whole of me! 1 am one with these growers, these singers, these; earnest becomers— Co-heirs of the summer to be and past aeons of summers! I 1 kneel not nor grovel; no prayer with my Ups shall I fashion. Close-knit in the fabric of things, fused with one common passion— To go on and become something greater—we growers are one; None more in the world than a bird and none less than the sun; But all woven into the glad indivisible Scheme, God fashioning out in the Finite a part of his dream! Out here where the world-love Is flowing, unfettered, unpriced, 1 feel all the depth of the man-soul and girl heart of Christ! 'Mid this riot of pink and white flajne in this miracle weather. Soul to soul, merged in one, <Jod and I dream the vast dream together. Wo are one in the doing of things that are done and to be: I am part of my God as a raindrop is part of the sea! What! House me my God? Take me in where no blossoms are blowing? Goof me from the blue, wall me from the green and the wonder of growing? Parcel out what is already mine, like a vendor of staples? See! Yonder my God burns revealed In the sap-drunken maples! The Bee Bookshelf In his recently published '■•Ameri cans ' (Scribner's). Mr. Stuart P. Sherman has mixed sociology and lit erary criticism with rather dubious success. His book is confessedly an endeavor to conserve apd purify the American national spirit on th* ground that this spirit Is the one de fense against the youthful interna tionalism which hopes to save human ity from self Immolation by destroy ing national civilizations and substi tuting for them a cosmopolitan cul ture. If there is a national tradition, to defend it against the disintegrating influence of foreign ideas is. from a ceertain point of view, a laudable un dertaking. liut the array of subjects on which Mr. Khtrman rests his case seems to disprove the very existence of sui h a tradition. For the word "tradition'' implies unity and con tinuity and it is the lack of precisely these things in our social history which Mr .Sherman's book demon strates. Consider the disparity of the • -.ivs in subject matter. In addition to the two chapters in which the author demolishes Mr. Mencken and his cohorts, there are esaays on Franklin, Emerson, Hawthorne, Whit man. Joaquin Miller, Carl Sandburg, Andrew Carnegie, Theodore Roose '<-lt. the Adams family and Mr. P. K. More. One looks In vain among th'-se names for unity or continuity of spirit or accomplishment. Here tire six literary men. a politician, a financier, a Jack-of all trades, and a family of aristocrats; or, again, a Pennsylvania Quaker, three New Eng land Puritans, (and a family of them as well), and isolated figures from widely separated sections of the coun try. Imagine Mr. More s surprise and chagrin at finding his name linked with those of Theodore Roosevelt, Andrew Carnegie and Mr. Sandburg as a manifestation of th#* American spirit. Clearly these men have little in common. Air. Sherman could hardly have chosen a more likely lot If h<- had been endeavoring to demon strate the nonexistence of an national spirit. As a matter of fact, there are no national literary tendencies. The his tory of the United States since the He volution has been unfavorable to the development of a national spirit in letters, for it has been a continuous movement of expansion. There* have U—n n<» stationary center of national hf*». either physical or spiritual, about which such a national tradition might grow up. As a result, what tradition ♦•xiet.'i in America is not national, but regional, like the New England tradi tion op the far w "stern. If Mr. Sher man - book Indicates anything with regard to America it is that we are extremely young and as yet Lack— may hIwhvn lack—the bonds of com mon history and interest which give rise to .a national spirit. Although Mr. Sherman’s venture Into Hoi'ioingy is not fruitful, bis lit er uv criticism* is satisfying . The quality of the < swiys on Emerson. Hawthorne and Whitman justifies in • convincing way the general opinion that the author is one of the few out* standing critic* of the country. The » hapter on .Joaquin Miller, however, is di*a ppointitm the meticulous handling • f the minutae of biography is r ntlflc and historical and ha* no place in an essay with literary pretensions. The chapter* on Frank llri and tin* Adams family are mo* satisfactory both as literature ami s* biography. The elaborate and labored flippancy of his discussion of Mr. Mencken and his fellow impression ists. while it may bo adequate to his subjects, suits Mr. Sherman 111 and will no doubt be discarded in his fu ture polemics. The essay on Fame gie is a polite gesture toward the business of money getting, which has played such a large part in American life generally and could not. there fore, well go unconsidered in a collec tion of essay* such ns this. One won ders whether Mr. Sherman has not overestimated the Influence of Fame tie—and of Roosevelt as well—upon the popular mind. These -men nre ••lose to us and loom large It seems not improbable, however, that In the course i(f a very few years our pres ent valuation of such public charac ters must undergo a considerable modification, and that as a result the Titan* of today will appear In the role of fallible and rather ordinary hu man beings.

W H QUIVEY, (Seel) Notary Public j I introduce secret panels, bloodcurd ling cries ut midnight, ghostly voices and other "dirty work at the cross roads" technique that makes the usual "ghost" or mystery bromidic. Pender, a poor relation, school teacher, soldier and seeker after peace, falls heir to the family fortune and homestead after many years of wandering, toil and general misfor tune. He decides to settle at the old homestead and to realize his life's am bition to write. He soon finds himself Interested In the life of the village about him. also engrossed In a love affair of his own. However, his own affair sinks Into the background when he, each night, witnesses the love affair of two of his relatives, who left this sphere of activity years before. He soon learns that his affair Is all wrong and waits patiently the culmination of his "ghost" affair. Reid shows rare good taste when he doesn’t try to get into a spiritual istic argument regarding the "ghosts" he has seen make love each night. He merely states what happened in the old family mansion and lets that suf fice. something writers of other "spir itual" things might very w<*H emu late. ' Ksssya sad Miscellanies Joseph ■ Aesrbach, Harpers, New York Another book of essays by Mr. Auertiach, a distinguished lawyer, has for its opening article, a whimsical treatise on a small boy whom the author calls "Mum's Boy." Mr. Auer bach explains In the preface that he first wrote about the little fellow— casual notes here and there—merely for the "Boy" to read when he grows up. Kxtracts from it were published at Christmas time In the North Amer ican Review and later the author was persuaded to publish the present pa per Parents of young children should be interested in the delightful glimp ses of the tiny personality, as well as in the authoritative suggestions for child training, which Mr. Auerbach so earnestly advocates. Two pleas made by Mr. Auerbach in his profession, a Commencement Day Address, a defense of Theodore Drei ser's "Oenius" before the New Vork Supreme Court, when Its suppression was threatened by 8<>ciety fcr the Suppression of Vice In that state, a memorial to a departed bar member, and a plea for better literature and higher criticism, under the title "The Athenaeum Club" complete the lnwik. The great and worthy success of the recent historical nov.-ls of Rafael Sabatlnl has led to tthe republb .ition of his earlier works. "The Snare," i Ho ugh ton-Miff! In!, is a story if the campaign of the duke of Wellington and the British army in Portugal against the forces of the Kmperor Na poleon. There Is in "The Snare" the same rollicking style, the romantic situations, planned In the grand old tradition, but executed .n a more mod ern manner, human characters whom one knows are unreal and a trace of the philosophic In the asides of the writer which characterize Snhntlnl It Is another good story, though it is somewhat below the high standard of "Scaramouche” and "Captain Blood.” Out of Today's Sermons M. .Mien Keith, pastor of Pearl Methodist church, will preach this morning from the text, James 4:14, “For what is jour life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth fora little time and then vnnisheth away.” He will say: Who does not stop at times, amid the hurly-burly, the rush and sweep, the stress and strain of life, to ask himself the question, What is it all about? Is it really worth the fight? And, in our best moments, our na tures demand there shall be a pur pose, an aim, a destiny, to human life commemsurate with its struggles. Its challenges its deepest pangs and highest hopes—no hap-hazard, hit or miss, happy-go-lucky existence can satisfy the best in man. But where shall we go for an an swer to the true meaning of human life? In questions of law we ref<{ to Blaikstone, in philosophy to Plato and Aristotle, in mathematics to Euc lid, in botany to Graj’,'in electricity to Edison, etc., because these have made a signal success In their respective fields. So. in searching for lifes highest values and deepest mean ing we will go to Him who has made the greatest success of life. He of VV horn it is written, ‘‘He spake as never man spake," and even His enemies said ‘‘I find no fault in Him.” What does Jesus saj‘ about the meaning of life? Just this: It has an Immortal, eternal purpose which cannot he measured in material and j temporal terms—even as human life j was born in the mind and will of God, it will find its deepest meaning and satisfactions in conformity to that divine will and plan. In other words, no person w ho fails to reckon with God and give Him first place in his life can ever hope to plumb the deepest depths of life s joys and mean ing. ‘‘Thou hast made us for Thy self. ' wrote the great Augustine, and In Thee alone ran we find the true 1 meaning of human life. Jesus Christ showed ts the meaning of life when He said. ‘‘I came not to do mine own 1 will, but the will of Him who sent me." In his sermon: “Paul's advice to married folk,” this morning, Kev. Albert Kuhn, pastor of the Bethany Presbyterian rhurch, will refer to our modem problems in the relation between man and wife. He will say in part: I don t believe in the wholesale con- : demnation of the divorce, that is so j fashionable in * ‘ . iesiastical circles. Just as tne Sabbath was made foe man and not man for the Sabbath, so .also the institution of marriage must meet the real needs of a man or a \ woman instead of man or woman making themselves miserable to sat isfy a stiff anti unchangeable marriage code. If any marriage is conclusively proven to be a ease of mismating. it ought to be dissolved. Neither the state s license nor the minister's bene diction the validating seal of s mar riage If the .souls are not married through mutual respect and love, the ! marriage of the bodies is an Unnatural ' state. N<* man ought to t>a com pelled to continue In marriage with ! a woman whom he cannot help but despise and dislike It is not so much our divorce laws that are at fault as the spiritual condition of our men ar.d women. A vivid consciousness of one's respon sibility to God will make one thought ful before he asks another person tn marriage and after marriage makes him keenly conscientious of his duty to wife or husband. Where both part ies live in the presence of God from ! .lay to da>‘, divorce is almost un- j known, not because the couple feels | a legal restraint that keeps them Kick but because the divine spirit which live s tn h> ‘h of them recc-ments from I day to day the bond of th-:r souIr. J What we need is not more legal restraint but a deeper and nobler soul life.
