School Notes Lecture Course. Notwithstanding- the fact that the lectures during the past eight years have maintained a very high standard, the course this season is in some respects a decided improvement over that of any previous year. The ten attractions are star numbers and the selections are so varied that every person's taste will be satisfied. The course is as follows: Senator Thomas P. Gore of Oklahoma, who appeared on October 5; the Dick-Bergen Concert company, November 15; Edward Reno, the Magician, December 23; the Strollers Quartette, January 15; Laura Poulsen, dramatic reader, January 25; J. Everist Cathell, lecturer, February 8; Gov. E. W. Hoch of Kansas, March 4; John B. Ratto, character impersonator, March 25 (afternoon and evening); Adrian M. Newins, dramatic reader, April 15. SENATOR GORE. When we see an individual deprived of one of his vital organs, we realize how kind onr Creator has been to the more fortunate ones; and when we see a man destitute of his eyesight and living a life of toil for the good of his fellows, we are filled with a determination to wake up and do something. Senator Thos. P. Gore ACORN 15 Such is the condition of Senator Thomas P. Gore of Oklahoma, and such were the feelings of those who attended the lecture Tuesday evening, October 3. The blind Senator gave as his conception of life the following: "I slept and dreamed that life is beauty, 1 awoke and found that life is duty." He expressed in his characteristic manner his ideas of the policies of the government. He said, "It is better to build homes than warships; and to dig irrigation ditches rather than graves." Preceding the lecture the audience, was entertained by the children of Prof. Nichols. Their work was very artistic, and the fact that they were repeatedly encored, showed the appreciation of those present. VISITORS OF NOTE. Wednesday, October 4, the Rev. F. V. Fisher of the First Methodist church of Ogden, addressed the students and faculty at their chapel exercise. He impressed upon the minds of those present the real and vital object of life, which he designated as the carrying out of the program of "Jesus Christ." This program is made up of four definite aims; they are: "The aristocracy of personal character; comradeship of the world; Annihilation of wrong: and the Coronation of Service." Devotional exercises, October 17, were made exceptionally impressive by the remarks of Attorney David S. Cook. As gems of thought he left us the following: "We get pleasure in life as we give meaning to the objects around us." "To be supremely happy one must be a creator." Those present at General Assembly October 18 were very much enlightened by the remarks of District Judge N. J. Harris. He discussed very ably the restoration of the gospel and showed that the U. S. government, with religious toleration as one of its principles, was divinely instituted. To prove his statements he drew evidence from both divine revelation and profane history. The Four Commandments. At the evening session of Conference held October 8th in Salt Lake City, four commandments were given which, if followed, will prove beneficial to anyone. They are as follows: (1) "Thou shalt not loaf on the street corners," Howard R. Driggs. (2) "Thou shalt dress appropriate," James E. Talmage. (3) "Thou shalt not frequent soda fountains too often," Heber J. Grant." (4) "Thou shalt not seek Saturday night amusements," Nathan T. Porter.
