THE PAGEANT
It is always difficult for the aver
age mind to conceive romance in
either the present stage or the past
history 'of the territory of which he
is a native. To him the prosaic sur
roundings which have always been a
part of his life can be nothing other
than common facts.
This is especially true of such ter
ritory as Nebraska. The monotony of
our topography, the sameness of the
seasons, the former comparative
sparseness of our population, have
combined to make the average native
regard his state as a place entirely
lacking in romance.
But an examination into our history
will lend much to the imagination.
This country was formerly populated
by a race of Indians whose legends
and traditions lack nothing to make
them a proper foundation for a great
and beautiful literature. Combined
with the stories of the Indians are
many wonderful tales of the early ex
plorations of the adventurers of Eu
rope. To bring these things before Ne
braskans with a proper background
of romance is the mission of the
Pageant. Native genius has wrought
some of these legends into a work of
art abounding, in poetry and music.
We will see before us legendary
heroes, la a setting of modern beauty.
Every patriotic Nebraskan should
see the Pageant.
RELIGIOUS LIFE DEPT
WHY GO TO CHURCH?
(By C. J. Pope)
One phase of the religious life of
students which is of prime importance
is attendance at church services. At
the same time perhaps no phase is
easier to neglect. The breaking of
tho ties which bind to the home
church, the fact of one's being a
stranger to the local churches, the
change of environment, the crowding
in of new interests, the forming of
new ties, all combine to make it
easy to break habits which hitherto
have been regular. Yet Sunday
should be an important day in the
student's task of self culture. To

that object he can make it minister
as he can no other day. For him,
as well as for other men, the Sab
bath was made. The question is a
pertinent one: "Why go to church?"
The first answer is: Because the
student has , a physical life. He
needs rest of body. But bodily rest
and recreation is not secured by a
program of life which includes a
late rising on Sunday morning, miss
ing of breakfast, idle lounging in. a
room with several occupants, breath
ing an atmosphere often filled with
smoke. No one could reason that
such a course could compare in in
vigorating influence with one which
includes seasonable retiring and ris
ing, a wholesome breakfast, a good
bath and a brisk walk of several
blocks to and from church.
The second answer is: Because
the student has a mental life. After
a week of mental activity, if mental
fatigue results, which perhaps is not
always the case even in student life,
that fatigue is not remedied by laps
ing on Sunday into a state of com
parative mental vacuity. It is se
cured much more effectively by .a
change of mental activity, by a
change of environment, by new and
different associations, by a variation
in the subjects contemplated. The
student who says: "I am so tired
when Sunday comes," could well con
clude with this: "Therefore I will
go to church this morning that I
may break away from the monotony
of the week, from this room and the
sight of these books which suggest
to my mind this monotony. I will
bring within the horizon of my mind
new visions, a new set of ideas and
concepts." He could with much rea
son say: "I am too tired to stay in
this room today. I will go to church
and get rested."
The third answer is: Because the
student has a spiritual life. He
needs those inspirations which come
from a source above him, those im
pulsions which move him to better
thinking and living, those times which
quiet reflection affords for fortifying
the will for supremer effort. He
needs contact with the invisible forces
of life to lift his spirit into conscious
touch with the Spirit above him in
order that from that contact his in
tellect and will and affections may be
charged with new vitality. For this
the church affords the finest oppor
tunity. The associations of the place,
the quiet of the surroundings, the
sympathetic spirits of the attendants,
the worship Induced by prayer and
music, the sermon theme, all con
verge to one end. They are all voices
calling to his spirit to awake and find
fellowship with that life which is
above.

WHAT MILITARY TRAINING DOES
Robert R. McCormfck,
in The Century.
Gentle reader, if you are a young
man of military age, do you feel that
you could stand in your place in a
squad trench and do your duty as
muzhiks and other peasants of mon
archial Europe have frequently done?
My own opinion of you is that you
could not, and my opinion has the
strength of a conviction. I do not
care whether you are a clerk or a col
lege professor, a lawyer or a laborer.
Supposing you were advancing in
open order of attack and had reached
a point where, with your captain kill
ed, your platoon commander wounded,
your line, unable to go forward, was
lying in the open, and your only
chance for life was to find the range
of the enemy and shoot at him so
correctly that he in turn could no
longer shoot correctly at you. Would
you listen to the orders of your cor
poral? Would you take the range he
gave you, carefully adjust your sight,
and fire every shot as carefully as if
you were trying to ring a cane at
Coney Island or make a new step in
a dance? No; you could not do It,
and failing to do It, you would be
killed by some peasant of the type
that you see working on the railroad
track or mixing concrete for the foun
dation of the road on which you run
your automobile and upon whom you
look as hardly human. He is a bet
ter soldier than you are.
