Price 5 Cents. e H SPEAK I - TAKES DRE. WRONG CONCEPTION GAINED BY AMERICANS H. RICHARD8 OF NEW YORK OF DARK CONTINENT. A LODK AT ANCESTORS Rivers as Wide as from Ashland to Lincoln and Lowest Mountains Miles Higher than Pike's Peak Are Wonders of Africa. Convocation yesterday was conduct ed under the auspices of the laymen's mlsflonnry movement,' now convening at Lincoln, and consisted or addresses by tlvo men Dr. E. It. Rlchnrda of New York and B. R. Shr.or of thlB city both prominent ok leaders of this now movoment. Previous to tho first address, the senior class again furnished a musical selection In tho form of a piano solo by R. W. Satnuelson of tho senior class. Ho played "ApolontlBc," by Paderowskl. Dr. E. H. Richards was tho first toil speak. Most of h Is speech was com posed of statements relative ta the merits and -demerits of Africa as a commercial country, which ho intends to amplify and present during the course of the present laymen's mis sionary movoment A Wrong Conception. His principal contention was that the Americana have an ontlrely wrong conception of itho beauty, tho slzo, and tho resources of Africa. He af firmed, however, that Africa Is unclv- wlth tho heathen. You enn't do busi ness with tho savage. You need tho commorco which African resources could give. But Africans are mostly heathens and savages. As a business proposition Isn't It worth while to civ ilize them? As a religious proposi tion, shouldn't we clvlllzo them? With these questions ns a basis for work,, we wJlL co-operate with God in an effort to ovangellzo Africa and tho world. We can do It and wo will." Tho noxt speakorvof the day was E. R. Slzer of Lincoln, chairman of the Lincoln co-operating committee of the lnymcn's missionary movement. In a few words ho doflned tho lay men's movement In behalf of mission aries, its call and Ub purpose. "Tho purpose of this interdenominational movement," he said, "Is to endeavor to reach the whole of tho world with the gospel message In this generation. It Is educational in charactor, no now organization is created, and Its ulti mate purpose Is to evangelize the world through the existing agencies of the church."

Stagg would bring n contesting tonm from tho University of Chtcngd to tho western, indoor champlonHhip meet In the Omaha Au ditorium tho ovonfng of April lBt, un der tho auspices of the Omaha Ath- lotic Association.
