MARTIN INDIFFERENCE. There is no excuse for sleeping in | church these days, or rather these | Sundays. In the first place, it is now | convenient for everybody to retire early enough on Saturday nights to, get all the sleep needed without in-| fringing upon the daylight hours. | Time was when many Americans stayed up on Saturday night till the wee sma’ hours, and then went to bed with their boots on. Naturally they | found Sunday morning a bleak and debilitated period. If they went to church, it was practically impossible to keep them awake without giving them something by way of an eye- opener. And the churches, in ye olde days, were, like a certain widely-ad- vertised bed, “built for sleep.” Their ventilation system was bad, the odor of sanctity, or something, was sopor- ific and the preacher commonly em- ployed a professional tone conducive | to drowsiness. It is different now. The churches are bright, the preach- ers are brisk,the music is joyous with- out being jazzy, and the theology is in keeping with a world made safe for democracy. People today believe in a wide-awake religion, a religion of service rather than of creeds, a gospel of goodness for its own sake rather than for God’s sake a future world in which the worthy shall sur- vive. Man’s attitude toward relig- | jon today, his attitude toward God, | is that of a self-respecting son to- | ward an affectionate but not feeble- witted father. If man is made in| the image of God, then God is neither | a satyr nor a jellyfish. No modern church teaches that our Father in heaven is vindictive, nor on the other hand indifferent. That God will judge souls on their merits is now more generally believed than that He will judge them on their professions. Never was religion more interesting than now, partly because never so free as now. Go to church. Stay awake. Contemplate the things of the spirit. Get your mind off the rela- tively petty details of your mundane existence and permit it to range at will the athereal infinitudes. ATTENTION HORTICULTURISTS! A very important meeting of the Horticultural Society is scheduled for Monday evening, April 12, 1920, at 7:30 p. m. in Room 20, Agricul- tural Building. Prof. F. W. Hensel will give an illustrated lecture on “Landscape Art.” Members are especially requested to be present as important business matters are to be discussed. Visit- ors are cordially invited, and par- ticularly those students who expect to specialize in Horticulture. willie HORTICULTURAL JUNIORS SPEND A SOCIAL EVENING The Horticultural Juniors, their young lady friends and members of a ; ENROLLMENT AT A.

It mines and refines our ores, turns the wheels of industry, drives our street cars and lights our cities and towns. The power obtained from Nature saves many million tons of coal every year.

Then ingenious devices were invented to insure protection against lightning, short-circuits, etc., which cause damage and interrupt the service. And now all over the country a network of wires begins to appear, carry- ing the magic power. The General Electric Company, with its many years’ ex- perience, has played a great part in hydro-electric develop- ment. By successfully co-ordinating the inventive genius of the company and its engineering and manufacturing abilities, it has accomplished some of the greatest achieve- ments in the production and application of electrical energy. The old mill wheel of yesterday has gone. Today the forces of immense volumes of water are harnessed and sent miles away to supply the needs of industry and business and the comforts of the home. 9Electric Co mp any Sales Offices in srarging irom 500 kilowatts and regate capacity of ; now in successful operation is in excess of four million horse-power.
