Gernet, teacher of piano, and Carl C. Engel, teacher of violin. The program was thoroughly enjoy- able and was well attended by students, faculty, and village residents. It was varied, both in kind of instrument and type of music. Some of us are especially fond of instrumental music while others find more appeal in vocal selections, so the varied compositions played and sung appealed to the many sides of our na- tures. The religious theme of "Open the Gates of the Temple" appealed to our spiritual natures. "Pale Moon" brought to our mind's eye a picture of Indian romance, while Alice Lee Haedg's "Mis- ter Sandman - took us back to childhood and that "most provoking man, who steals around at night just when play- ing is at its best, and fun is at its height.' Music, of the right kind, brings out the finer things in our characters, and after listening to a program of this na- ture we can come away with greater am- bition, more spirituality, and more of the joy of living.

Two cars, driven by Henry Sonnen- berg and Walter McCrilles, furnished the transportation for the class. A guide took the group to the press room in the basement. Here they were shown several large cylinder presses which are used for job printing. Then they saw the large roller newspaper presses which are used. From there the newspapers are taken in stacks and given to the many waiting newsboys. Next to the newspaper presses were two large slow-motion steam engines which alter- nately run a dynamo which furnishes all the electrical power throtighout the build- ing. Mr. 'Wilcox, the guide, invited the visi- tors to ride to the fourth floor on a crude elevator used for freight. Here they en- tered the composing department where there were two long rows of intertypes. The guide gave each member of the party a folder on their job printing. Next they were shown how type is set up on large plates the size of a newspaper sheet. This was then taken to a machine which presses a cardboard mat on the type. The mat is used in making a semi-circular plate from which the printing is done. The party went up a flight of stairs to the photography department where the pictures which are to be used in the pa- per are photographed through a fine screen. The dots made by the screen on a new film help in etching the picture. The guide said that in printing three colors each color requires a separate printing process. At the close of the tour of inspection, the guide invited the students to come again. The first meeting of the school year of "Los Camaradas Espanoles" was held Monday evening, November 16, under the direction of Mrs. H. B. Christianson, for the purpose of electing officers for the coming year. Those selected to take charge of the club are as follows: president, Calvin Gordon; vice-president, Doris Kirstein; secretary, Hazel Brebner; assistant secre- tary, Ferry! Garvin; and CLOCK TowER reporter, Clinton von Pohle. To close the meeting, the Argentine "flag song," ''Ni Bondera," which cor- responds to the "Star Spangled Banner," was sung by Doris Kirstein, accompanied at the piano by Chester Barger. Plans are being laid for a very in- teresting year of programs and enter- tainments, and all who know anything at all about Spanish are invited to come to the next meeting, which will be held Monday evening, November 30. Hasta luego. MUSIC APPRECIATION IS GIVEN IN CHAPEL Illustrations of Themes in Well- Known Pieces Are Given by Professor Ledington "The elements of music are rhythm, melody, and harmony," said Professor Ledington in his second chapel talk on music Friday morning. "A musician needs brains to write music, and hence what he writes can only be appreciated by those who have brains. We need to learn how to listen to music, what to listen for, and what to listen to. "A theme is necessary for every piece of music. Beethoven kept a notebook which he always carried with him, and he jotted down all his inspirations in this notebook. Sometime later he would look at this inspiration to see what could be done with it. One of his inspirations was seven years old before he used it as a theme for one of his compositions." To illustrate the rhythmic scheme used in certain pieces, Professor Ledington had written out the rhythmic skeleton of - Way Down Upon the Swanee River." He also showed the theme used by Ed- ward MacDowell in his "To a Wild Rose." Mr. Gernet played this number on the piano. After calling attention to the principal themes used by Haydn in one of his symphonies, Professor Gernet and Pro- fessor Ledington played as a piano duet a part of that symphony. As the closing number of the program, Mrs. Ledington sang two songs for which Professor Ledirigton has composed the music. They were "Dream Song," and The Some One." To Every Person Christianity Must Become a Reality President Andreasen used as his texts at the Friday evening vesper service, Psalms 119:30-32: "I have chosen the way of truth. . . ;I have stuck unto they testimonies. . ; I will run the way of Thy commandments;" and II Timothy 4:7, 8: "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." "Those six verbs, chosen, stuck, will run, have fought, finished, and kept are the key to this sermon," the speaker stated. "You'll never get anywhere until you have chosen your way and decided your master. David says, 'To have chos- en the way of truth.' That is a good de- cision. "In the time of trial and perplexity, will you be loyal and true? 'I have stuck —oh, Lord, put me not to shame.' If we are faithful,righteousness will be ours. " 'I will run the way of Thy com- mandments when Thou shalt enlarge my heart.' We need a larger vision. With opportunities there are responsibilities. An education which does not cause you to see your obligations to God and to man more clearly is lacking in some vital thing. Education should consist of two things: learning to see obligations, and gaining the ability to fulfill these obligations. "Paul says that he fought a good fight. Christianity is a matter of warfare. It is (Continued on page three) JUDGMENT DAY NEAR Since the Coming of Christ is Certain It is Now Time to Prepare for This Event "The day of the Lord will come," de- clared Pastor J. J. Nethery, president of the Central Union conference, in the Sab- bath morning service. "God could afford to wait another thousand years for us to prepare for heaven, for one day is with the Lord as a thousand years. "He is longsuffering, not willing that any should perish, yet he is not slack concerning His promise that He will come in this generation. It will be a great day for God when He meets the redeemed at the pearly gates. It will also be a great day for the saved. We would miss little of this world's pleasures if we were called today. - Imperfections are seen in the church," Pastor Nethery continued, "but the church is pure as compared with those outside the church. Scoffers refuse to be- lieve the historical records of the Bible. Some stagger at the thought of trying to understand the Bible. It is well to read it through once each year, but it must be (Continued on page three) With the center of interest concentrated on means by which terms can be agreed upon, the conflict between China and Japan still continues. The League of Na- tions convening secretly is giving its time to finding some means of arbitra- tion. First an economic blockade of Ja- pan with the United States asked to participate was reluctantly considered by the League as a final resort to end the conflict in Manchuria. Then notice was given that China and Japan had accepted an armistice "in principle," involving the sending of a commission of inquiry into Manchuria. China, however, objected to this, her condition being that Japan must withdraw her troops before this principle could be carried out. The situation has not been changed to date; however, a yielding attitude is seen. The League of Nations is still working for a possible solution. It is an interesting fact to note that the fighting in China is being done under severe weather conditions. Temperatures ranging from 4 degrees below zero to 10 below are causing much hardship. Dead soldiers lay where they were killed un- molested. Chinese people are fleeing from the cities and towns in advance of the pursuing Japanese. These people, travel- ing by thousands through deep snows, despite their retreat, meet new dangers in walking into the face of strong bandit hordes farther on. American foreign trade is reviving. The department of commerce reports that for the second successive month, Ameri- can sales abroad have increased. Alten Bringle, a former Unionite, is assisting Pastor L. E. Niermeyer in a series of meetings which opened Novem- ber 8 at Watertown, South Dakota. In connection with these meetings Pastor and Mrs. Niermeyer and Mr. Bringle are conducting a short service over the air from the local radio station KGCR. Old Unionites wishing to hear these services should tune in on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, or Thursday mornings from 9:30 to 10:00 o'clock. This is a hundred watt station broadcasting on a frequency of 1200 kilocycles. Pastor Niermeyer and Mr. Bringle will appre- ciate it if those who get the program will send a card to that effect. Pastor Niermeyer, of the class of 1930, Is home missionary secretary of the South Dakota conference. Mr. Bringle spent the summer in the Black Hills doing evangelistic work with Pastor J. R. Staton. HISTORICAL SOCIETY MEETS Various business topics were discussed at the meeting of the Historical society Monday evening, and a committee was nominated to select new officers to fill the vacancies of assistant leader and as- sistant secretary. The secretary has collected a number of valuable books and papers of the de- nomination, and it is hoped that a larger number of students will take part in this interesting work. ' During the past week one of the world's youngest diplomats, Dino Grandi, thirty-five, foreign minister for Italy, dis- cussed international problems with Presi- dent Hoover. The daily ration of bread for London, if the loaves were placed end to end would stretch for '6,000 miles. Soviet wheat exports to this country are running 50 per cent ahead of last year. Creation of a railroad credit co-oper- ation to help the weaker roads through their present financial difficulties was proposed by the Association of Railway Executives in a petition filed with the interstate commerce commission. Wall street, financial center of the world, has been under the rule of ad- ditional guards to prevent threatened bombings. While autumn lingered in the east and south, a wind-driven snowstorm from the northwest rode over the Rockies tak- ing a toll of four lives. Britain's new emergency tariff act is causing concern, and the possibility of an Anglo-American "tariff war" is being discussed. The Rumanian government has decided that Prince Nicholas must give up his wife or his royal privileges, or else live in exile abroad. Mahatma Gandhi, in the meeting be- fore the federal structure committee of the Indian round table conference, de- manded that the British army in India be disbanded or placed under Indian con- trol. SPIRIT OF UNION IS SHOWN IN CHAPEL Unionites Set Themselves to Task Of Placing Union in Proper Light Before All By ERNEST HANSON The Spirit of Union! What is it? Is it all practically dead, as certain misin- formed individuals would have us be- lieve? Any person who attended chapel on Monday would have no doubt as to the answer to these questions. The spirit of old Union is still very much alive; and it ought to be. Professor Habenicht began his chapel talk by forcefully bringing to our at. tention the ideals, aims, and accomplish- ments of Union during the forty years of its existence. "Has Union justified its existence? Have the men and women whose names appear as Union's gradu- ates lived richer lives as a result of hav- ing been here? "These are questions that can certainly be answered with a most emphatic 'Yes',' Professor Habenicht declared. "The gold- en cords reveal to us that a large num- ber of Union's 1,661 graduates are doing their part in lifting humanity in many countries of the world. "But the golden cords do not tell of the heroic lives lived by the many who (Continued on page four) The Maladies of Sabbath School Are Pointed Out Instead of three as usual, five names were displayed on the dirigible, the Sab- bath school goal device, last Sabbath morning. The classes of Harold Lincoln and Elinore Hahn had a perfect record, while those of Dr. Dick, Professor Led- nigton, and Dorothy Aultfather were the others most nearly perfect. The other goal device showed the girls still leading in general average for attendance, daily lesson study, and offerings. Grace Flatten told the story of the sickness of a Mr. Sabbath School, who refused to allow a doctor to be called, although he grew steadily worse. His ill- ness included irregularity, non-prepara- tion, confusion, worldliness, and tardi- ness. Against his wishes, Mrs. Sabbath School at last called Doctor Specialist, who told them that all Mr. Sabbath School's sickness were only the symp- toms of one disease, "ignoranimitus." The doctor's prescription was doses of Per- fect Attendance, Daily Lesson Study, and Teachers' Training Course. Mr. Sabbath School soon recovered under this treat- ment, and advised any others suffering from the same trouble to take the same medicines. The Sabbath school choir began the serOte with the song "Teach Us How to Pray." A special song, "Perfect Pray- er," was sung by Doris Kirstein, Mabel Nelson, and Esther Nelson. Genevieve Fiman gave a reading in which a plea was made for the Moslems. Dick. Gathering in the assembly rooms of their respective dormitories on Sunday evening, the young men and women each made their final drives for subscriptions. The girls were surprised, on coming to the chapel at seven-forty, to find the men congregated in the west side of the chapel. the side usually occupied by the girls. However, they concluded before the evening was over that there must be something in location. South hall's or- chestra played enthusiastically the col- lege song, the pep song, and several other selections while, one after another, those who had not yet turned in their subs laid them on the long table near the edge of the platform. Ellen Swayze, Hazel Heinzman, and Dean C. W. Kime counted the girls' subs; and Walter Howe, Fred Lee, and Ada Williams counted the men's. Just before the bell rang announcing that the campaign was closed, Miss Hahn placed on the table a purse containing the last allotment of subs from the girls. This year's campaign closing was singularly free from the us- ual intermittent bursts of song from the competing sides; for during the inter- vals between orchestra numbers the sus- pense was intense, growing as the figures (Continued on page three) NORTHERNERS HIKE Students and Faculty of Northern Union Enjoy Early Morning Hike By BERNICE SEARLE The students and faculty of the North- ern Union gathered together Sunday morning in what may be their last meet- ing as a group before the Northern Un- ion is merged with the Central Union. Everyone gathered in front of North hall at 5:30 Sunday morning, eager for a good time in spite of the damp weather. Just a little fog couldn't frighten north- erners. An array of sweaters, jackets, caps, gloves, and fur mittens was seen. It is reported that one of the boys wore four sweaters. With "What's keeping us?", "Who are we waiting for?", and "Let's go!" the hikers swung into line, led by Walter Howe. After a forty-five minute hike a halt was called around three blazing camp- fires in the grove behind North hall. "Let's eatl", "I'm hungry," "We need some salt," "Where's the snowdrift?" were some of the remarks heard as the cooks began work. The breakfast of egg sandwiches, pickles, apples, marshmallows, and hot cocoa was eaten with evident relish. We left our camp fires at President Andreasen's call, "Everyone over to the gym!" There all took part in a march under the direction of -Walter Howe, with Clyde Bushnell at the piano. The march ended with the group being divided Into sides of "Odds" and "Evens."

The girls, led by Elinore Hahn, have a total . of 390, indicating that the race was close. Counting the subscriptions of the students themselves, 1135 renewals and new subscriptions have been turned in, exceeding by 120 last year's figure. It is expected that these, with the sub- scriptions which do not expire, will keep the mailing list as high as, if not higher than, last year's, which was above 1400. Buford Black, a freshman, brought in the largest number of sub- scriptions, taking first prize with eighty-four subscriptions. The next highest number was fifty-two, gotten by Eunice Mantz, a senior. This is the first year that more than one student has exceeded the fifty-sub mark. The first prize is a $50 scholarship and the second prize $20 worth of merchandise. $5 prizes were received by the following for having twelve subscriptions or more: Marian Busse, Jewel Chase, Francis Booth, Paul Shively, Marvin Halvorson, Chester Bar- ger, Lester Trubey, Earl Gable, and Dr. THE CLOCK TOWER Published every Thursday during the school year and monthly during the summer vaca tion by the Student Publishing Association of Union College.

Sunday night marked the inauguration of the Emancipation Pro- clamation for the young men of Union College. No longer will they be afflicted with that feeling of inferiority which has so oppressed them during recent years. Broken are the shackles which have bound them. Henceforth they are men, and as such must be reckoned with in future campaigns. On guard, girls! What has been done once can be done again. Unless you beware, last year may soon be spoken of as "the last time that the girls won the CLOCK TOWER contest." Horrors! Today you are confronted with this danger. Yet it is recognized by all that extraordinary efforts were put forth by the girls; and credit is due them for the large number of subs which they obtained. Determined to win the campaign, they worked unitedly toward that end. If the number of letters written is a criterion of the enthusiasm of the girls, it is not surprising that they lost by so small a margin. Though they are taking their defeat in the true Union spirit, they are not at all discouraged, and are already looking forward to next year's contest. The winners are to be congratulated both upon their victory and upon their attitude as winners. Contrary to the old idea, we believe that it is not always easy to be a good winner. At any rate, the young men have conducted themselves as gentlemen, carefully re- fraining from any display of superiority over the vanquished ones. Good work, boys! B. MCC. WE APPRECIATE The CLOCK TOWER wishes to express appreciation for the splen- did support given by the members of the academic journalism doss Not only have they supplied the news for their own column of news notes, but frequently have they brought in items of interest that have been published under different heads. They know how and where to get the news, and always present it in an acceptable form. In addition to this they have given aid in the editorial room. Particularity is this help welcome in a year when there is no col- lege journalism class. It is unfortunate that there is no such class this year, so other means have to be found of securing the assistance that can normally be expected' from that source The academic jour- - nalism class is faithfully doing its part.—G.

THANKSGIVING By Janice McCormack The sumac gleams across the hill, And in each glen and hollow, The blackbirds' cry rings loud and shrill As they their leaders follow. And as the fallen leaves of brown Lie heaped on every hand, The acorns too come dropping down To join the sleeping band. The frisky squirrels run to and fro, Their winter's store supplying. Down to the ground for nuts they go, Where autumn leaves are lying. 'Tis harvest time. In fields of grain The reapers gladly toil, And gather in the season's gain From fields of fruitful soil, Within the church upon the hill The country folk are singing, And each one, of his own free will, An offering is bringing. And as I plod along the way, The earth seems throbbing, living. In this I see God's love today, And thank Him for Thanksgiving. SISTER SCHOOLS The winners of the Southern California Junior college "Sub-Campaign" were tak- en to the Los Angeles and Glendale acad- emies. Here they were both entertained and entertainers. From the account of the trip in the Criterion the losers must have missed a very enjoyable time. Not the fire whistle, but a giant dirig- ible interrupts the regular routine of W. M. C. Two boys were selected as spies to watch for the first signs of the zep- pelins while the rest of the students were in chapel. In the midst of a talk on the Sligonien the zeppelins appeared and chapel was immediately dismissed that the students might see the "mammoth of the skies, the U. S. Navy dirigible, Ak- ron, and her followers, the Los Angeles and airplanes." Two vital actions were recently passed by the faculty of W. M. C. whereby only those who complete their courses by June will be allowed to join the gradu- ating class, and the minimum entrance requirement for junior organization is raised seven hours. DOXOLOGY OR MUSIC? Joe Tucker: "Why ask me that? Ev- veryone likes the music." Glenn Wood: ''What's the catch? For my part, I like the music." Daniel McAdams: "I like the music. It is a variety. Variety is the spice of life." Donald Hay: "Oh, I like the Doxology once in a while, but the music is just fine." Theodore Spanos: "Yes, I like the music, and I don't mind telling you." Mylin Moore: "I like the music. It seems to quiet things down just as much as the Doxology does " Harry Roedel: "Oh, it doesn't make much difference, only I like the music a little better." Editor's note: In explanation of the above answers to the question asked in the heading, it should be said that an en- terprising reporter has endeavored to find out how the students like the new prac- tice of having instrumental music instead of the doxology at the opening of chapel.

CHRISTIANITY MUST BECOME A REALITY (Continued from page one) more than yielding. Only through oppo- sition will you gain strength. Tests de- velop character. Christ fought that same battle in the wilderness for forty days that man will need to fight to gain vic- tories. Sometimes we forget in stressing 'yielding' that there is a battle. We must remember that there can be no victory without a battle. "Did Christ have temptations? He was tempted in every way. In the garden His cup was very bitter, and everyone who goes to the kiNgdom must have trials. " 'Little children, this I write unto you that ye sin not. But if any man sin we have an Advocate with the Father.' "This does not encourage sin, but if we do sin, we have a mediator in Christ. Paul fought and finished and kept the faith. In each of those verbs, chosen, stuck, will run, fought, finished, ..and kept, determination is the outstanding virtue. "There is a danger that in our busi- ness we may go down in our Christian experience. We must not forget the high- er values. The daily study of the Bible, the weekly prayer bands, the meetings on Friday nights and Sabbaths are very important. 'Henceforth there is laid up for ire a crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day; and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing.' "Christianity will be real to everyone before he reaches heaven. It was real to Paul when he was before the executioner. It was real to Jacob in his hour of trial. It was real to Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, and it must be real to us." Essay Contest Announced In commemoration of the 100th anniver- sary of the death of Goethe the Carl Schurz Memorial Foundation, Inc., Phil- adelphia, Pa., announces a national essay contest, which is open to all under- graduates at colleges and universities throughout the United States. Liberal cash prizes, amounting to almost $1,000 are announced. The first prize for an English essay is $200, and a similar first prize is offered for the best essay written in German. The choice of subjects and the rules of the contest are announced on a poster which has been distributed to all institutions of higher learning. A number of prominent professors of Ger- man at some of the leading American colleges and universities have agreed to serve as judges. Professor Hanhardt has detailed information for Union College. Essays must be submitted to the head- quarters of the Foundation in Philadelphia not later than September 15, 1932, and are limited to 5,000 words. "Don't rest on your laurels. They are fine on your forehead, but they make a poor mattress." Ideals and Success By DANIEL MCADAMS Each one of us has his ideals and am- bitions. To make sure that our aims and hopes are correct and high enough, we should study the lives of others who have made an outstanding success in life. Old man Opportunity is knocking at ou. door each day. Success can be yours and mine if we relate ourselves to our God and to our fellowmen correctly. As we grow from childhood into man- hood and womanhood, we should all have definite goals in mind which we are determined to reach. Before any certain goal has been reached, we should set our eyes upon something still higher and nobler. In this way, no matter how old one becomes, he will always have a def- inite accomplishment just ahead for which he is striving. This is well and good; but sad to say many people reach the point in life when they begin to reflect upon the past instead of having fond anticipations of the future. When a per- son reaches this point, he immediately goes into a slump and his progress ceases. The statement has been made that "Work is the only royal road to suc- cess." How true this is, and if more of us could realize this I am sure we would accomplish much more than we do. To succeed in life means that we must apply ourselves to every alloted task, no mat- ter how small or large, and do just a little better than our best each time. Stamina, pep, enthusiam, hard work, and consecration are a few of the essentials that will help to bring success to us. Friends, make Christianity your first business on earth; then no matter what line of work you choose to engage in, determine in your heart to be the best one at that certain trade or profession that there is. For example; if you are digging ditches, be the best ditch digger there is; if a minister, be the best min- ister there is; if a housewife, of course, be the best one there is. If one will do this and remember that there is al ways room at the top, surely he will reach great heights. Think success, pray for success, and it will be yours. "We will not fail or become discouraged." Vol. 7, p. 242. Don't be a quitter, be consistent, per- severe; and although it does take a great deal of energy to accomplish a certain thing, remember that nothing is worth getting if it does not require hard work and a continual effort to obtain it. "Stick to your job till it sticks you, Sweat at it, bleed at it, smile at it, too, For out of the sweat and blood and smile Will come life's victory after while." —Eugene Rowell. As we sail upon the sea of life, as it were, the sea will sometimes become tem- pestuous and seemingly our ship will be overturned. When this strategic point is reached in life, we should remember that if we are faithful in doing our part in God's service, the sea will become calm and we will sail through to success and in the end have a safe anchorage in the Kingdom of God. Dialogue is Presented A dialogue illustrating a number of things which "North hall girls just don't do," was presented in the young women's club Wednesday evening, November 18. Three types of young women were rep- resented by Hazel Olson, as the model North hall girl, Opal Andrews, as the indifferent girl, and Fairy Petty, as the girl who has not been long in North hall. The last two caused much trouble for the preceptress, Irene Ortner, and their monitor, Juanita Paxton. In the last scene the two troublemakers caught the true North hall spirit, and resolved to reform. "Men, like rivers, become crooked when they follow the path of least re- sistance."—K. I. Reynolds. people with stereotyped scruples to the members of the Catholic church. Be that as it may, it remains, as Mr. Marshall hastens to show us, that the law given in the Catholic Church is backed by a subtile power with which to force obed- ience. The most powerful weapon of the Roman Church is the use of tthe con- fessional to coerce political support. This is a book to be read and re- membered as a reference book by the student both of religion and of politics. It is valuable to "all those who, with intrepid spirit, have preferred the treason of truth to the loyalty of error" no mat- ter whether that erroneous loyalty be to a religious creed or to a political party. CARL MOVERS. FREEDOM By FRANCES MANETTE WHITE Somebody caught a rabbit wild, Up in the hills one day. Somebody took the rabbit wild, To a city far away. Somebody penned the rabbit up, In a box two feet by four, Somebody gave the rabbit food, And thought of him no more. Nobody knew how the rabbit missed, The aspen bordered rills. Nobody knew how the rabbit pined, For his home among the hills. Nobody knew how the rabbit longed, For the wild flowers and the grass. Nobody knew how the rabbit wished, That a mountain breeze would pass. Nobody knew how his wee wild heart, Longed for the pine tree sigh. Nobody knew that he missed the place Where a rushing stream goes by. Somebody carried the rabbit back, To his home among the hills, Back where the rushing stream goes by, Back to the rocks and rills. Somebody set the rabbit free, And his wee wild heart was gay. Somebody's heart was gladdened too, As the rabbit scampered away. —Our Dumb Animals. Association Holds Annual Supper The annual supper of the Home and School association, of which Prof. G. Habenicht is president, was held Mon- day, November 9 at 6:45 p. m., at the Normal Training School building. The food was donated by the patrons of the school. About one hundred persons were present. The different class rooms were open for the visitors, and much favorable comment was made, not only upon the tidy appearance of the rooms, but also upon their artistic decorations. After supper a short program was given. Following some introductory re- marks by Professor Habenicht, Miss Couch gave a general report on the status of health of the training school children, comparing this year with last year. Professor Nesmith reported on the medical examination of the academic stu- dents. A general improvement in health could be noticed. To close, Mr. Vande Vere and Mrs. A. C. Gourley jr. sang a duet. Mrs. Kirstein was elected secretary in place of Mrs. Alma Johnson, who has moved to California.

By Charles C. Marshall. New York: Dodd, Mead and Company. 1931. The place the Roman Catholic Church fills, or might attempt to fill, in the mod- ern State is defined by most of us in such a hazy manner that it might run the gamut from the persuasion that is its constitutional right to putting the proverbial ground g' --ass in the Protes- tant's porridge. Charles Marshall, of the New York bar, is not limited for mater- ials when he writes upon the subject of the Catholic in politics. He does not leave the reader wondering what he (Mr. Mar- sall) believes it all means, and he leaves the reader thinking remarkably near the same thing. This reviewer started to read the book with an unfriendly attitude, since in its first edition it was published as a chal- lenge to the ability of any Catholic in general and Alfred E. Smith in parti- cular to hold any public office and be true to both the American constitution and the Bishop of Rome. Before the book was finished, it became evident that Mr. Marshall was not striking at some imaginary phantom in thin air when he suggests that had Smith been elected president the inevitable result would have been either his resignation from the Presi- dency or a conflict with the Church with which he was affiliated. His reasoning as to what might happen in America is based inductively on events, not of cen- turies past, but on conflicts of the Roman Catholic Church with modern govern- ments, now, in the last two decades. His statements are not left to stand without authority. A great deal of his authority, probably the greater part, is taken from the decretals of the Church, other parts from authorities on government and juris- prudence, while some of his most fas- cinating material is in the form of court records and official government reports. Typical of the book is this quotation from the trial of Toral, the assassin of President Obregon. Q. "Who instigated you to take Gen- eral Obregon's life? A. Christ, our Lord, in order that religion might prevail in Mexico. Q. What was your motive for killing him? A. In order that damnation should not fall upon the people of my country. Q. How did you expect to escape the consequence of your act? A. I thought I would be killed, but behold, I am still alive. This proves the Holy Spirit is all powerful." Mr. Marshall continues to show that Toral was not a criminal, but was deeply religious in character, and carried to his execution the comfort of the statement of Pope Leo XIII: "If the laws of the State are manifestly at variance with divine law, containing enactments hurt- ful to the (Roman) Church, or convey- ing injunctions adverse to the duties im- posed by (Roman Catholic) religion, or if they violate in the person of the su- preme Pontiff the authority of Jesus Christ, then truly, to resist becomes a positive duty, to obey, a crime..." The treatise draws a fine line between the person who holds mental reservations to some law of the land because of per- sonal religious scruples and the person who holds, possibly, the same scruples, not because of personal conviction, but because it has been decided for him by some church tribunal that he shall hold them. The first person he holds to be a valuable citizen, the second a dangerous enemy of the constitutional government.

THE CLOCK TOWER PAGE THREE A. rs. Christianson Begins Series On Missionary Life (Editor's note: The following is the first of a series of articles on mission life in South America by Mrs. H. B. Christ- ianson, a Union College language in- structor. Mr. and Mrs. Christianson, both Union graduates, spent nearly four years in the mission work there, until forced to return by the ill health of Mrs. Christianson.) By MRS. H. B. CHRISTIANSON "Backward, turn backward, 0 time, in your flight." My mind has been filled with such a number of things since we left "Old Union - five years ago. I won- der, as I sit here in Antelope Park, if I can recall some of the things that took place then. It was no simple matter to get pass- ports from the United States government, birth certificates to prove that we really were in existence, steamship tickets for the long trip to Peru, fingerprints and health certificates for their usual purpose, and, last but not least, the purchase of the necessities that the missionary allow- ance will buy. First, we were notified to go east to New York, then we were advised to go west because of the cheaper freight rates which could be obtained there. Later we were told again to go east. Two days later, however, we received a telegram from Washington, asking us to be in San Francisco on September 3, 1925, in order to accompany seventeen other workers to South America. . We were much pleased with this ar- rangement, since Brother Minner, who, with his family was returning on that boat, was a member of Mr. Christianson's class at Union. We made plans with the Minners to drive through to San Francisco. The first day's trip out, after passing the heart-breaking "Good-bye's" to friends and relatives, passed unevent- fully, but the second day we thought we had landed in Peru. A bit of explanation will be necessary to enable you to understand why we thought we had arrived at our destina- tion so quickly. We had heard so many stories about robberies in Peru that when one of our suitcases was stolen from our car at a small town in eastern Colorado, we naturally concluded that we had made the trip of one month to Lima, Peru, in less than schedule time. We met Brother Minner and family at Loveland, Colorado. From there we traveled to San Francisco, a trip that needs no description, as so many have enjoyed the privilege. Many things hap- pened to detain us, such as blow-outs, and the need of new springs for the car. It was fortunate for us that the boat left later than its schedule time or we would have been left behind. At San Francisco, when we saw our belongings being hauled into the large ship, a feeling came up in our hearts of the true realization of leaving our "fath- erland. - One must go through the ex- perience in order to sense fully the reali- ty of leaving friends, and going to a country where everything is strange. On the other hand, what a joy it brought. Leaving! Leaving! Leaving to work for others. Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Madsen, Mrs. Chas. Plumb, Mr and Mrs. Reuben Yaeger, and many other "old Unionites - bid us our last good-byes. "All aboard!" and we grouped together on the "Gingu Maru," throwing out colored paper strings to those left behind. We were sailing slowly away.

GIRLS YIELD LAURELS AFTER CLOSE RACE (Continued from page one) on the men s side of the blackboard steadily rose. It would be difficult to transmute into printers' ink the exact sound emitted by the east half of the room as the number passed the four hundred mark. When the final figures were announc- ed, Miss Hahn expressed the sentiment of the losing side by a hearty congratu- lation of the winners and their leader. In reply, Mr. Bushnell said, " I don't know of any group of girls we would rather beat in a campaign; and I don't know of any group of girls we would rather have beat us." At ten o'clock the girls expressed their congratulations to the victors in a serenade. Just as they had finished the first song, a downpour of rain came. But, paying no heed to the rain, they kept right on till at last the leader started "Goodnight, Laddies," and amid bursts of applause they hurried, dripping wet, back to North hall. Mr. Bushnell and his band of heroes accorded the vanquished a genuine compliment in chapel Monday morning for their splen- did sportsmanship.

Today we marvel at the staunch heroism of the Pilgrim Fathers; truly, they were men of iron. First of all they began the construc- tion of a common house where all might have shelter. The colonists wer groupd into nineteen families, and home sites were staked out along the broad single street. A beginning was made on private dwelling houses—and then the destroy- ing angel began his work. Open graves received one half of the little company of one hundred two. But the remainder pressed on. The 'first summer was marked by hard work and definite accomplishments. Twenty-one men and six lads made up the laboring force which tilled twenty- one acres of corn, sowed six acres in wheat, barley, and rye, and cultivated gardens around the houses. When the first Thanksgiving was kept, the colon- ists had seven dwellinig-houses, besides four public buildings which served as church and storehouses; there was a sup- ply of simple food for the winter; a cargo of beaver furs and prepared tim- ber was ready to ship to England; finally, those Indians nearest the colony were peaceable. It was the natural thing for these devout men to set aside one day in which to return thanks to the Heaven- ly Father who had made these things possible. During the next few years, although there were times of rejoicing, the Pil- grims lived a hard life. People of soft moral fiber could not have endured the trials. Comforts there were none; the col- onists lived on the bare necessities. The difficulties of pioneers were augmented by the menace of hostile Indians. When news of the Virginia Massacre reached Plymouth in the spring of 1622, the col- onists erected a strong palisade, and Standish formed a battalion of trained soldiers to serve in case of attack. Again, in March, 1623, after Standish returned from a military expedition, the settlers built a strong square fort on the hill. They used the main room as the place of worship. The hill outside was the burial ground. This was the oriyin of the expression, "God's Acre." A visitor to Plymouth in 1627 told how the Pilgrims, on the Sabbath, assembled to the beat- ing of the drum and marched in military array to meeting. These men were not here for a plea- sant time. It was well that they were actuated by noble purposes. Other ar- rivals were saddened and disillusioned when they saw the sorry plight of their old friends. Several years passed before the Pilgrims were free from the horror of a shortage of food. In November of 1621, thirty-five new colonists arrived at Plymouth to help reduce the store of food. The next summer Weston sent over sixty-seven men to plant a new colony at Wessagusset near Plymouth. They lingered at Plymouth long enough to spoil the cornfields, and again the Pilgrims faced the winter without the food they needed. They learned to trust God to give them their daily bread. During the summer of 1623 they existed on sea food. 0 drouth which began in June lasted for seven weeks. These men of faith spent nine hours in a prayer service; the Creator heard and answered, and there was an abundance of rain. Plymouth was begun as a community enterprise. Here, if ever, communism should have succeeded, but its fruits were confusion, discontent, poor production, and indifference. In 1623 land was por- tioned by lot, each individual being al- lowed an acre. The settlers went to work with new energy; they planted larger crops; even the women went to the fields. In 1627 the colony bought out the inter- ests of the "Merchants Adventurers" in London. The settlers who enrolled as purchasers were given twenty-acre plots along the river. Meadow land was com- mon property; each purchaser was as- signed every year a new portion which he could mow to provide hay for his cattle. Livestock was very precious. In 1624 there were only four cows, and the number increased to but twelve in 1627. The settlers were divided into twelve groups of thirteen persons, and one cow was assigned to each group. Miles Stand- ish botA .ght out the others in his group, thus coming into sole possession of the cow for ten years. There was little opportunity for trade during the first few years. Later, agri- culture prospered to such an extent that the colonists began looking about for business. No one acted independently; the governor and a few others handled the commerce for the colony. At the psychological moment they were fortun- ate in securing goods for trade: they ac- quired half the stock of a trading post which was abandoned; they bought the salvaged goods from a French boat wrecked near them. The house carpenter enlarged one of the shallops, thus pro- viding the colonists with a seaworthy vessel which they used to develop a healthy trade on the coast. Communica- tions were made with Manhattan in 1627, and a lively trade sprang up between the two settlements. Freedom from religious persecution and intolerance had been one of the aims of the Pilgrims when they left England, but even in Plymouth Colony the tentacles of the Established Church sought to stran- gle the consciences of men.

Williams Mor rell, the first Episcopalian minister, was harmless, since he returned to England after a year's peaceable residence at Ply- mouth. His successor was a cringing hypocrite named Lyford, who professed Puritan principles but wrote to London of his plans to establish Episcopal wor- ship in Plymouth. His actions aroused such suspicion that the governor inter- cepted his mail to England. Lyford, when confronted with his guilt, broke down and cried. He was given another chance, but was soon writing complaining let- ters to London again. The Pilgrims kept him a short time until they could send him to join Oldham at Nantasket. This action of the colonists was very signifi- cant, in that it prevented the introduc- tion of the Anglican system, which might have undone all that had been accom- plished in the way of religious freedom. NORTHERNERS HIKE (Continued from page one) ley ball was played and the "Evens" won two games, in spite of the good playing of President Andreasen and Dr. Dick, who were with the team of the "Odds." "The faculty are good at this," one player was heard to say. "Boys, men, faculty, all come over here," shouted Walter Howe. Then went up a "Rah, rah, rah! for the Northern Union," which was answered by a simi- lar cheer from the girls. The faculty members attending were President Andreasen, Dr. Everett Dick, Miss Marie Olson, and Miss Minnie Ol- son. They were surprised to hear at the end of the hike that Madge Rosenthal and Irene Ortner had also been busy chaperoning. Miss Minnie Olson declared she even enjoyed washing the frying pans. There were over fifty having a part in the hike, and all reported a good time.

Patronize the Clock Tower advertisers PRESIDENT SPEAKS By M. L. ANDREASEN A Christian education should give a young man or woman an enlarged vision of his own obligation to God and men, and enable him to fulfill this obligation more satisfactorily and completely. Inso- far as it does not meet this standard it becomes a failure. An education is not to be sought mere- ly for its own sake. We are to receive chiefly that we may be able to give. "Freely ye have received, freely give, - said Christ. The young man who desires an education that he may make an easier living or accumulate a competence does not have a right view of life. The ac- cumulation of money or of knowledge in- creases his responsibility to just that ex- tent. The student whose sense of obliga- tion does not increase proportionately to his growth in knowledge needs to under- steno in a more definite way his respons- ibility to society as well as to God. Every student may well ask himself: Have I a larger view of my obligations than I had when I entered school? Do I sec the needs of the fields beyond more definitely than a few months or years ago? Do I recognize my debt to my par- ents, to my church, to my country and to my God more vividly than when I entered school, or have I merely accumu- lated knowledge without a corresponding feeling of responsibility? These are serious questions for every young person to consider. It is for each student to decide just what his future shall be, and the future depends much upon the answer he gives to the ques- tions here raised.

BIBLE STUDIES GIVEN Much Interest is Shown in Readings Given at Spanish Home The Spanish people with whom Hazel Brebner and Bessie McCumsey have been conducting Bible studies in the Spanish language manifested an increased interest ih the study of last Sabbath on "Who Changed the Sabbath?" It was evident that they had been discussing the lessons with each other, and had read the litera- ture given them a few weeks ago. Miss Brebner and Miss McCumsey first gave the study in the Spanish home where the meetings are usually held. The study was preceded by a song service in Spanish, which the woman greatly en- joyed. She had told a Spanish neighbor Of the fact that the studies were being given in their own language, and expects her to attend the next study. Because one of the women who usually takes part in the meetings was unable to be present that afternoon, the study was repeated in -her home. She also had been reading the literature concerning the Sab- bath, and expressed her appreciation for the studies. Sophia Van Buskirk and Ellen Swayze gave their usual weekly study to an old colored woman. A special feature of the meeting consisted of songs by Harold Singleton, accompanied by Clinton von Pohle. The woman enjoyed the music very much. Others who accompanied the group were Miss MacElvaine, Henry Sonnen- berg, and Warren Swayze.

"There can be no question about Un- ion's accomplishments. They have been noble and enduring. The question for us __ow is, 'Shall Union be allowed to drop in enrolment or shall we have more stu- dents here than we have been having dur- ing the last few years?' " Professor Habenicht then gave the stu- dents opportunity to express themselves regarding old Union. A large number re- sponded. We wish that a thousand pros- pective students might have heard the speeches made by the students. They rang with devotion and consecration to the task of placing Union in a proper , light before all. Union has been a success. Union will continue to prosper under the leadership of Him who knows no defeat. He has es- tablished Union for the purpose of train- ing young men and women to give the -good news" to all the world. Until its mission has been completed, Union will go forward. Let everyone of us as students go forward with our college, and let every- one who desires a Christian education re- member that Union wants him and wel- comes him. The spirit of Union is the spirit of the Advent movement. Both will grow in power until our Lord pronounces the mission of this people finished. Bible Characters Are Described at Reformatory A group of students from the Gospel Workers' seminar, with Walter Howe in charge, conducted a meeting at the State Reformatory Thursday evening. About three hundred fifty men were present. Walter Specht led in prayer after an enthusiastic song service. Theodora Ridgeway played a violin solo. There were three speakers, Ellen Swayze giving the first talk on Esther. A talk on Jonah was given by Ada Wil- liams. Sophia Van Buskirk closed the program with a talk on Job. Mr. Howe stated that these Bible stories stimulated the men to read their Bibles. Tribute is Paid To Father and Mother in Seminar "My mother's love for me at first over- whelms inc and takes me off my feet, then it steadies me," stated Pauline Wick- wire in her talk at Gospel Workers' seminar Friday evening. "I want to ap- preciate my mother's work," she said, "her hopes, her joys, her sorrows, her fears, are all for me. Her prayers are with me. For her sake I must be strong, true, and brave. I must give and then forget that I have given." During her talk she drew a charcoal sketch of a mother. The speaker brought out the fact that the attention of the mother of Jesus was centered upon Him. Everything which came to Him affected His mother, Miss Wickwire said. "From the heart where His love is cherished, love for father and mother will never fail," she declared. As a final tribute to her mother, she ac- companied her brother Chester, while he sang, - Little Mother of Mine." Bernice Searle gave her reasons for believing her father the best father in the world. "First of all," she said, "he is a Christian, and a Seventh-day Adventist. "My father is the best father because he is a pal and a friend. I have never been disappointed when I have gone to him for advice or comfort." We can pay no greater tribute to our parents than by our lives. We can either honor or disgrace those fathers and moth- ers by our actions. One of Roosevelt's sons once said, "It is up to us boys to practice what father preaches. - Miss Searle stated that what she con- sidered to be one of the greatest tributes ever paid to a father was given by a lit- tle fourth-grade boy in a school which she had taught. It was the day before Thanksgiving, she said, and at the close of the program the children were given an opportunity to tell of the things for which they were thankful. This little boy was among the last to speak. Finally, with tears in his eyes, he rose and said, "I'm thankful for my daddy." Miss Searle closed her talk with Edgar A. Guest's poem, - Only a Dad." Religious School Contrasted with State University Thursday evening, after a short wor- ship period, the Young Men's club was called to order by its vice-president, Har- ry Turner. He at once presented Mr. Gernet who entertained the young men by playing the "Juba Dance" by Nathan- ael Dett, "Turkey in the Straw" by Dav- id Guion, and "To a Water Lily" by Edward MacDowell. Mr. Larimote than spoke on some of his experiences while he attended Illinois University. He explained that the Uni- versity was much different from Union College in respect to size, purpose, and methods. There are 15,000 students in attendance, and 1500 faculty members. When classes were dismissed, it seemed as if a veritable army was set into motion. There was no attempt to teach religion in any way. In fact, no mention of religion was made at all except by one teacher who criticized every insti- tution of modern civilization Professor Larimore said that he used to laugh at the idea that young Advent- ist people should not attend the worldly educational institutions, but since spend- ing two summers and one winter at this great university, he believes no better advice could be given than this: "Stay away from these schools until you are older and well-grounded in the truth or until you have had a few years' ex- perience teaching in our schools. Then you can do some definite good by going to these public schools without running undue risk.'' 0 Children Are Entertained The children in the wards of the Or- thopedic hospital were visited Sabbath afternoon. Stories were told by Florence Lucille Terry and Wendell Graham, and songs were sung by four boys: Vernon and LeRoy Kirstein, Gordon Stout, and Virgil Perreman. I. Q. TEST IS GIVEN Test Furnishes An Interesting Means Of Studying Character BY LUELLA COLEMAN A general intelligence test was con- ducted in chapel Wednesday by C. W. Kime, dean of men and professor of education at Union College. At the beginning of the chapel period all the academic students were asked to go to a separate room and those who remained seated themselves in such a way that every other seat was vacant. A selected group of faculty members was asked to distribute the intelligence tests. When the signal was given, the first page was turned and the next half hour was spent in answering the seventy- five questions contained in the test. Intelligence tests furnish an interestnig means of studying character. Some stud- ents rush madly into the tests, deter- mined to answer every question, without using their reasoning ability or even tak- ing time to study the instructions care- fully. When well started they discover something they do not know how to do and thus waste time in going through instructions again. A second group will first read the instructions through care- fully, making sure that each step is thoroughly understood. When the signal is given they do not rush, but rather work quickly and steadily and at the same time maintain complete control of their senses in order that they may think ac- curately. When they come to a difficult question, they do not needlessly waste their time but skip over it and work on ones they do know. Then when they reach the end, if there is any time left, they can quickly check over the items omitted. While intelligence tests alone do not accurately predict a person's success or failure in life, they do test general intelli- gence on many subjects, ability to think quickly and accurately and to follow instructions. In a measure they tell how a person will react when confronted with a new situation. The use of intelligence tests is of particular value to those stud- ents who plan to enter educational work. As a part of his college education, every student should acquaint himself with the various types of general in- telligence tests and learn how to give them.

Rosa Lee Hassenflug gave a book re- port in English IV class November 16 on "The Story of a Bad Boy" by Thom- as Alrich. Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Black, Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Morrill and son, Ernest, all of Enterprise, Kansas, visited Buford Black over the week end, November 19- 21. Members of English IV class were ask- ed to desposit their chewing gum in the waste paper basket one day last week. One of the members, a Scotchman, was willing to do so after a few more chews, as by that time all of the flavor had left it. Mr. and Mrs. Howell and son, Don- ald, have been here on furlough. They have been visiting at the home of Mrs. Howell's parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Gourley. Mr. and Mrs. Howell sail the 13th of December for Buenos Aires, where Mr. Howell will be Educational Secre- tary of the Austral Union. Mr. John Howell, missionary from South America, spoke to the academic Spanish II class Wednesday, Nov. 18. He spoke to the class about some of the uses of the Spanish language. "We have some very good tongue-twisters, - said Mr. Howell. Schilling Speaks At S. H. Worship On Wednesday evening, November 18, Professor Schilling spoke to the young men of South Hall during their regular worship period. He -presented a very in- structive discussion of an acrostic which was the sign of early Christians for many years. This sign was the Greek word for fish. It was especially signifi- cant to the Christians of the early church because so many of them had been fish- ermen and because Jesus had twice used fish to feed hungry multitudes and had eaten fish with them so many times, but especially because Jesus had said, "I will make you fishers of men." The word fish was by far more signi- ficant to them, however, because its letters taken separately, constituted the initial letters of the words "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour." Thus the word fish really represented to their minds a brief state- ment of their entire theology and creed. At the time when it was exceedingly dangerous to be called a Christian or to hold meetings in the name of Christ, the believers would assemble under the sign of the fish and affectionately called one another "little fiish." Thus they remained loyal to Jesus Christ, Son of God, Sav- iour.

"Prayer is not alone found with Chris- tian peoples. The Buddhists pray, but they have their images. In fact every heathen prays and has some routine of worship. The scientist prays, and the soldier prays before bat- tle if he never prayed before or will ever pray afterward. Many a soldier is converted at the critical moment of his life. "Now just what is prayer?" asked President Andreasen. "We all say 'give me'. Thus prayer becomes more the form of petition and asking. Prayer is not only asking; it is communion with God as friend with friend. We have two well chosen models in prayer. Paul asked, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?' Peter petitioned, 'Lord, we have left all . . . what shall we have?' "We often think of God as a Santa Claus—Give me—Give me. Instead prayer should be fellowship; fellowship of friend with friend, and true friend- ship is not spasmodic; it is continuous companionship. "Seldom do we .consider that God longs for friendship, but I am afraid that sometimes we disappoint our Friend in not giving Him the best of our devo- tions. God created man that he might have a bosom friend, one who would understand Him and sympathize with Him. Prayer is talking with, feeling, and knowing God. Friendship is inherent in all human nature. God is looking for friends, and no one but man can be mat friend, for no one can understand and sympathize with Him. "God is a father," the speaker conclud- ed. "We are His children. We are his sons and daughters, not servants; and if we consider God as a friend, we shall have fellowship." "Deutscher Verein" Meets Solos and Speech Are Featured in German Club Monday Evening The "Deutscher Verein" met at six o'clock Monday evening, November 22, and was well attended in spite of the fact that the Historical Society ran compe- tition on the floor above. Harry Craig and Walter Specht favored the guests with a group of German folk- songs. After an interesting game, there were several speeches, namely, "Die Kuh," by Theodore Wedde, and "Der Hund' by Wayne Stringer. In closing the meeting, "Die Lorelei" was sung and everyone rushed for worship. All members are eagerly looking for- ward to the next meeting in anticipation of having another good time and of learning some practical lessons too. ig •!.. ;<#.>,......1•>: . <40;•' ..:11e*]>:•:K X.Y.::4•>':".::•X14•;;:.>:•> ....:•>•:: ..<0;•;.:.•:.>".."4•;!::›W!;:::".0:K:Zit g N :". 1111MI[E 1PA.11CY 1 1 ,....: E ,.... ,..., "•<•.Y ::••:*Y ' ,:.•Y: :: , <*Y 1:4•;< >1.Y ::<•>:;:::<•;< . ::•;.:€<:4€K::4CK :.'46X >;.>:': X.C . < ::4•>C4•;<::0;K 4 PAY AS YOU GO and Save the Difference College View Lbr. and Coal Co.
