Pulpit material is on the wane. To be a gentle-faced, Prince-Albert-coat ed, hymn-singing expounder of church doctrines has lost its fascination. Of the ambitious hundreds attending the University we know of only eight or ten who contemplate entering the sacred profession. Apparently the Lord has shifted his call for laborers in His vineyard to a call for workers in his field of law, medicine, engineer ing and fanning. This religious phenomenon has per haps a cause. Put yourself in the place of the earnest, purposeful j-oung man. Looking at the rigid denomina tions, may it not be that he sees their ministry or priesthood as an impossi ble profession, feeling that it runs counter to that within him which con tinually seeks to know the Why of things? All the orthodox denominations claim to have found the truth, and their first requirement of the would-be preacher is that he must subscribe to this previously discovered and classified said-to-be truth. He must promise with a solemn oath to uphold it and defend it against change. But how can a man honest with himself promise to believe anything, for be lief is spontaneous and hardly a mat ter of the will? University men concede the impor tance of the Thirty-nine Articles of 1363. And yet, no matter how slow and painful the process may be, they insist on the privilege of working out their own beliefs, and are willing to take the risk of having them differ! from the convictions of sainted church fathers. It is plain that from such a HAVE YOUR EYES EXAMINED, GLASSES MADE AND FITTED BY US We guarantee you relief from eye strain and headache? if caused by defective eyes.

" MAHER TAKES FLING QUITE SERIOUSLY Takes the Matter up With the Regents of the University Urges Neu ' trality of Students. Leona Waite. Pianist. Phone L-8298. Hagensick's Orchestra. Phone F2042. A citizen of Lincoln has taken the matter of statements of Professor Fling in his recent address before the students at Convocation up with the Board of Regents. The letter is as follows and .explains itself: "Lincoln, Neb. Oct 5, 1914. "To the Regents of the University of Nebraska, "Lincoln, Neb. "Gentlemen: "I desire to respectfully call your attention to the remarks made by Prof. Fred M. Fling, professor of the department' of European history, In the University of Nebraska, made to the student body at convocation on September 29. I feel confident I voice the concensus of opinion of the people of Nebraska when 1 say your body should take official notice of this mat ter. I am enclosing herewith, for your Information, a synopsis of his re marks. Prof. Fling strongly urged the students to take sides. He was caustic in his criticism of Geimany and every thing German. "The students of the State Univer sity are made up of young men and women, all 'Americans and proud of It but many of them are Germans, or of German descent,, and they would not be human if they did not sympathize with the people of their own blood. "The university Is supported by tax ation of all the people, and people who do not share in Prof. Fling's prejudice against Germany and the German peo ple object to his taking advantage of his official position to create preju dice against Germany. "Moreover, Prof. Fling deliberately violated the president's neutrality proclamation. This was unbecoming a man occupying the position he occu pies in our grteat university, and is an offense which deserves severe censure at your hands. 1 trust you will take such action as the occasion demands and therteby clear the university of the suspicion that It is taking 6ides in this controversy. "Very respectfully, "JOHN G. MAKER. D n 51 S'-pain't the grinds or A the sports that of- tenest get into "Who's V Who." It's the all round bh shore null men.
