MISSIONS WORTH BY REV. W. A. ELLIOTT.
Strong Address on a Vital Theme By Baptist Pastor at Joint Y. M. and Y. W. Meeting Sunday.
The first joint meeting of the Y. M. . A. and Y. W. C. A. for the year was eld in the university chapel at 3:15 ist Sunday afternoon.
A good representation of students nd visitors was in attendance to ear an able discussion of "The Worth Th'le of Miss ons," by the Rev. W. A. Diott, pastor of the First Baptist hurch of Ottawa.
A voca? solo was given by Lee Os- orne '13.
Rev. Elliott in his taik sought to ring out the fact that all missions re the product of the spir't and pur- ose of Christian ty, that such terms s foreign missions, home missions, tate missions, city missions are only rb trary terms adopted for conven- ence. It 's the task of each genera- on to catch the missionary note and and it down to the succeeding gen- ration. Missionary activity and eu. stment justifies the presence of so mary churches in the land, together fith the contributions necessary to maintain them. If a church is not missionary in spirit there is no justi- t cation for its existence.
The broad man is the man who has large vision of the world. Mission- ry interest broadens the man and missionary knowledge is necessary ar self culture and even self interest nce knowledge of missionary needs nd achievements broadens the sym- athies and increases the general in- elligence. Any student may well con- der carefully the question "Are mis- ons worth while?" and then ask imself, "Are Missions worth my
hile ?"

First Number of the Lecture Course Next Friday.
The Kellogg-Haines singing party opens the lecture course season at the Rohrbaugh next Friday evening, Octo- ber 29th.

The manager of the students' lec- ture course at Westminster College, Fulton, Mo., wrote this appreciation: "The concert was a success in every respect. They can come here again, and we cannot praise them too highly. Everyone present at the concert was more than pleased with the fine enter- tainment."
A season ticket purchased now wil! cost only $1.00, and it will admit the holder to this concert and five other numbers.
Frank Jennings, '12, Leland Jenks, '13, Laura Wood, '11, and Edna Um- stott, '14, bave tickets for sale to students.

EMPORIA MEETS OTTAWA IN FOOTBALL TODAY
AN INTERESTING CONTEST PROM- ISED ON HOME FIELD THIS AFTERNOON.
Visiting Team Better Than Last Year -Student Council Orders More Bleachers.
This afternoon on the University gridiron the 'Varsity' was playing the College of Emporia football team.
Emporia has a stronger team than usual this year, but Coach Wann hop- ed to win the game.
The regular Ottawa lineup was used: Ends, Reynolds, Lusk; tackles, Mar- tin, Crosby; guards, Miller, Lundy; center, Bower; quarterback, McCand- less; halfbacks, Captain Coe and Ald- erman; fullback, Frink.
The following officials were chosen: Referee, C. E. McBride sporting editor of the Kansas City Star; umpire, Ow- en Samuels, attorney of Lyon Co., of Emporia; field judge, Dr. Rolvix Har- lan, of Chicago University.
The game was to be called prompt- ly at four o'clock. An admission of 35 cents was to be charged all not having season tickets.
The team has been given some hard scrimmage practice this week and is in fair condition for the game this afternoon. Among the substitutes are two new men at quarterback, John Nchols, who played on the Frank- lin College, Franklin, Indiana, team, and William Lusk '13, of Stella, Neb.
It is conceded that College of Em- poria has a stronger team this year than last, though "dope" on the game is rather uncertain. The first game of the season, with Southwestern, was lost by Emporia 7 to 0. William Jew- ell beat the Emporians. 16 to 6.
At the Student Council meeting Tuesday evening it was voted to erect another section of bleachers in time for the Haskell game here on Novem. ber 5th.

WHEN LANGENDORFF SWAYED THE AUDIENCE
AT BANGOR FESTIVAL. THE NOT- ED SINGER MADE A DE- CIDED HIT.
Big Audience Was Held Spellbound- -Repeated Encores Were Re- sponded to.
The newspapers are profuse in their praise of Madame Langendorff, who appeared last week at the musical fes" tivals at Bangor, and Portland, Me. Concerning her singing a Bangor re- port says:
"Madame Frieda Langendorff, Ger- man contralto, the prima-donna at the third concert of the Eastern Maine Musical Festiva! given Friday night in the Auditorium met with an over- whelming and sincere reception from the very hearts of a large audience. "O Langendorff, my Langendorff!" or some such trend of thought as this, was present with everybody who left the building, for this soloist simply and unequivocally captured al !.
-
"That Madame Langendorff really accomplished all of this was demon- strated beyond peradventure, by the tremendous'y enthusiastic axpression of unsuppressed fee'ing that was ac- corded her, from the moment of her first appearance until she ended her last number-Home, Sweet Home. Never has a soloist found Bangor hearts, and the hearts of the people who have come to the Auditorium from Eastern Maine as Madame Lan- . gendorff succeeded in doing, with the single exception of Madame Schu- .mann-Heink. And how pleased Lan- gendorff must be! To realize that a large audience such as was present Friday night is favorably inclined to the result of one's talent and effort, is one thing; but the soloist who has the temperament so imbued with sympa- thy and deep feeling as to be able to sing as does Madame Langendorff, must surely be moved almost to tears in the face of so great a heart-opening as was evidenced by Friday's audi- ence.
,"The soloist's first offering was the prison scene from Meyerbeer's "Le Prophete." It is from the' fourth act of the work, in which Fides, the moth" er, has been cast into prison by her son, who refuses to, recognize her. After weeping over his sin, and par-
doning him, she cries to God with great exultation, to purify his heart and redeem him.
"Such a scene, to'd adequately in song, requires a soul in the singer, large and boundless. And Langendorff surely has it. It might be said that her dramatic art is responsible for her success here; but Madame Langen- dorff does not act. Acting wins ap- plause, but it does not win deep affed tion. This so'oist loses herself in her rendering of parts, and it is this in- horn strength of infinite purity and strength of her nature that strikes deep in her hearers, touching imme- diate'y a responsive chord. It is in this sort of work that Langendorff ex- cels and in it she touches no unfortu- nate key to mar the thread of the story in hand. In response to the in- s'stent demand for an encore she of- fered effectively that pretty aria from Carmen, "Habanera," receiving at the close, amid a great hand-clapping, a beautiful bouquet of carnations, brought to her by an usher. Her next magnificent contribution was a group of fascinating songs: Hensche"'s "Morning Hymn," Bohm's "Still in the Night," McDowell's "Thy Beaming Eyes," and Hildach's "Lenz." And, in answer to a recall that wou'd not ac- knowledge sweet smiles only, a pretty little madrigal, "Schvedisches Volks- 'ied." was sung.
