a p p p r Perrp ebrt5tnut5 -Os Concert Orchestra To Give Program Tomorrow Evenir g ' •• After hibernating for almost fifty weeks during the year the holiday spirit begins to stir himself preparatory to his short but welcome appearance among men. This joval fellow, bedecked in fir and holly, is "hale and well met." He super- charges the atmosphere everywhere with good will, cheer, and radiant smiles. His presence stimulates the exchange of greet- ings among strangers, neighbors and friends. His joyous note filters into every nook and corner, into hovel and mansion. At his approach the spirits of unfriendliness, grouchiness, and sulkiness flee. To be cold and unresponsive during the holiday season is to be misunderstood and to live in isolation. To be gruff then is to strike a discordant note amid harmony, to breathe a chilly blast amid balm. Although he will again be forced to abdicate his throne for more than fifty weeks the spirit of good cheer is monarch absolute for seven days. The friendly period of his reign passes all too soon, and we find that he has made his exit about as abruptly as he made his appearance. In his flight he lingers longingly with the children as if he would stay if he could be assured equal encouragement among men. But he is an extremely sensitive fellow and readily withdraws from the pressure of indifference and haste. He refuses to share his rule with the spirit of gruffness or selfishness, or any of their clan, but if given undisputed rule in the heart he will abide within the individual throughout the year. His presence cannot be concealed because he radiates his cheer through every word, look and act of the individual. Although he departs from the crowd for another fifty weeks he will readily accept the indi- vidual abode. Why should not you and I give the true Holiday Spirit exclusive lease to our hearts for the year? Why not make Him the permanent, honored, welcomed monarch? —A. H. RULKOE1 11,12. THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT 0, Origin In 16th. Century London Society Still Exists, Forty Members Sing for the Joy of Choral Performance By JEANNE GRIFFIN The old sixteenth-century custom of "singing after supper" is probably the earliest ancestor of Union's youngest musical organization, a group of ten singers who meet for an hour each week to sing madrigals and folksongs. This group consists of four sopra- nos, June Layman, Marian Goad, Violet Hanson, and Lois Barnes; two altos, Ruth Axt and Dorothy Ferne Lockwood Aitken; two tenors, Car- lyle Cornell and Ed Seitz; a baritone, Herbert Hohensee; and a bass, James Stevens. The group was organized about the first of October by Milo Hill of the music department. Mr. Hill says that he was particularly inspired to organize such a group after attending Christiansen's Choral school this summer at Chambersburg, Penn., where he had part in madrigal singing. The madrigal is a secular song for from two to eight voices, usually unaccompanied. The early Flemish composers were probably the first to develop this type of music, but it is certain that the first publications were made in Italy about 1501 and that imitators sprang up all over Europe.

Other features of the evening will be novel relay contests and games with a holiday theme. The upper floor of the Industrial building has been completed to the extent that the permanent floor has been laid and windows and doors have been installed. Wiring and heating for this upper story have not been installed, but temporary lighting and heating units will be used satis- factorily, it is reported. Student Vocal and String Trios Present Musical Programs at Elm Creek The string trio and a women's vocal trio from the college here presented music in Friday evening vesper ser- vice and Sabbath morning services in the Elm Creek Seventh-day Adventist church at Elm Creek, Nebraska, last week. Members of the string ensemble were Eileen Beckner, Hulda Weng, and Eileen Kier. June Layman, Ruth Olson, and Ruth Axt were the mem- bers of the vocal trio. Jesse Dittber- ner, junior ministerial student gave a sermonette Friday evening, and another during the church service on Sabbath. Mr. Milo Hill, instructor in music, who accompanied the group, remarked that the "devotional attitude of the congregation was very refreshing." Other individuals who went with the company were Mrs. Lenore Brewer Hill, Thelma Brewer, and Mrs. Jesse Dittberner. Commercial and College Wash Done By Laundry 150,000 Pounds of Clothes Are Finished Each Year Providing labor for twenty-one stu- dents and doing the laundry work re- quired by the college family, the laundry plays an important role at Union. In addition to the work done for those living on the campus, this industry carries on commercial busi- ness which amounts to one-third of its total output. Each year the laundry finishes ,.bout 150,000 pounds of clothes and flat work. Of this amount fifteen thousand shirts are laundered each year. Every week workers in the laundry finish five thousand pieces or about three thousand pounds. Each of these pieces is washed for from thirty min- utes to an hour and a half and goes through from six to ten changes of soft water The biggest of the machines in which these pieces are washed has a capacity of two hun- dred fifty pounds per load. Ironing is done on five presses, which are equipped with modern safety devices that have helped the laundry to maintain a record of no serious accidents for the past twenty years. During the past sixteen years, 446 students have worked in the college laundry for at least two months, some for as long as six years. Of this number over one hundred are school teachers, fifty are nurses, five are doctors, and six foreign missionaries who are in Africa, South America, the Pacific islands, and the Orient. In addition to these there are min- isters, ministers' wives, Bible work- ers, secretaries, conference depart- mental secretaries, and public school teachers. wants peace after the war and con- troversy in this present period of transition and shattered hopes. The two world hopes that have become myths in this period of rapid develop- ment of industry and science are collective security and dependence on the word of others. The British Empire, Russia, and the United States arc the countries that are self-sufficient, Miss Shepherdson asserted, and they are known as the "haves." The "have-nots," Germany, Italy, Japan, Norway, Sweden, and France, are dependent on imports of food and raw materials. Four possible solutions for present conflicts might be, according to Miss Shepherdson, ability to understand fundamentals of international rela- tions, ability to understand funda- mental forces, power to deal with the racial aspects of national and inter- national problems, and the power to understand the principles of govern- ment. In speaking of Poland, the Key to Europe, Ruth Ann Trygg related the history of Polish national develop- ment. "Poland became a kingdom in the tenth century, and she was the most free and independent country in Europe during the Renaissance," Miss Trygg reported. "Because she was slow in throwing off feudalism, she was partitioned out to Russia, Prussia, and Austria in 1772 and again in 1793." Polish problems include foreign trade and minority groups, the speaker said. Apology To Miss Hall Faculty members wish to apologize publicly to Miss Pearl Hall for calling incorrect her answer to one question in their Battle of Wits program, given November 29 in the chapel. Mrs. Helen Foreman Little, after looking up the answer to the question, found that Miss Hall's answer, "Tom Turkey," for the male of the turkey species was correct. distinction of being the oldest musical association in London is the Madrigal society of London, founded in 1741 by John Immyns. The first place of meeting was the Twelve Bells, a tav- ern in Bride Lane, but it was re- moved in 1844 to the Anchor and Crown. The place of meeting was changed several times through the years, but food always played an important part in the selection of the place. The original membership of six- teen consisted of mechanics, weavers, and others of various trades and occupations. The membership was conferred on persons belonging to cathedral choirs or those vouched for by two or more members. The so- ciety gave concerts at which mad- rigals were performed, a supper was served, and the evening frequently concluded with rounds. One of the quaint rulings of the society was that any member eating his supper, or a part thereof, during practice was to forfeit sixpence to be used for buying music paper. All musical performances were required to end at 10:30 p. in. unless some mem- bers felt constrained to sing rounds, in which case they might be indulged until 11 o'clock, but no later. This society still exists today with a membership of forty. The dues, in- cluding dinner fees, arc five guineas. There is no audience at the meetings. The association is not for display of choral skill but for the pleasure of choral performance. Gish, Former Teacher, Receives Doctor's Degree With Major in Education Ira N. Gish, who taught in the lan- guage department here from 1936 to 1938, last week passed his final ex- amination for his doctor's degree. His major field was education, and French and Spanish were his minors. Mr. Gish has been teaching edu- . cational subjects in the college Madison, Tennessee.

Dick, General Conference Sec'y Talks to Students Lay Deep Foundations For Lasting Success, Says Former Missionary Urging the students to build good foundations for life by constantly endeavoring to do their best even in the humdrum, everyday things of life, E. D. Dick, secretary of the General conference and a graduate of Union college, spoke in chapel last Friday. The chief purpose of Elder Dick's three-day visit here was to interview students interested in becoming mis- sionaries or ministerial interns. Elder Dick called attention to the privilege Union college students have in attending school at a time when many Seventh-day Adventist youth are denied this opportunity because of such obstacles as war and lack of financial means. Quoting Psalms 144:12, "That our sons may be as plants arown up in their youth; that our daughters may . be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace," Elder Dick pointed out the fact that now is the time for serious, thoughtful planning and purposeful decisions among young people. He also com- pared the development of young peo- ple to the polishing of wood. As it requires good wood to take polish, he said, so it takes genuine young peo- ple to become noble representatives of Christ. Calling attention to the fact that (Continued on page 3) cam pus cross-cuts A few days ago while I was ex- ploring the dark recesses of my dres- ser drawer, I happened upon a moth- infested black bow tie. It brought back memories of the nights it had near-strangled me and, more optimis- tically, memories of ladies in dazzling gowns, of tables bounteously covered with good things to eat. Ah! Mem- ories! Had I been sentimental I would have been moved to lacrima- tion. From this touching experience I gained an inspiration. What do other Unionites think of banquets? And so, forthwith, I asked the next four people I met. Louise Plemons reluctantly sacri- ficed a few moments of chemistry study to give her views. Question: "Do you enjoy semi- formal banquets of the type held at Union?" "Yes." "Why?" "Because I like the formality, and I like good food." "Have you ever attended any banquets at Union?" I threw in this question: "Would you enjoy the banquets more if the men wore tuxedos?" She also added the following re- marks: "I think attending banquets improves manners of kl ,..students, and students are 7 0 1 . t ease when they appear inicy Walter Crawforpittioked up pleas- antly from his My 9uestioqi` "Do you like semi- form banquets?" *timed, probably remember- se man-choking neckties. answered, with some vehe- nce, "No." "Why?"

We calmly accept the order of this world without some- times thinking of the miraculous super- human efficiency that regulates every minute thing in it. One of my teach- ers suggested that, if a human being had to make a tree, he would fix a leaf pattern and stamp all the leaves from that one form. But the man would have to scratch his head a long time before he figured out a way to make trees grow, a system for regulating planetary movement (he wouldn't even think of having planets), a method for peopling the earth. Yes, we humans are conceited. We, collectively speaking, pat ourselves on the backs as we muse over the know- ledge in the world today. "Just look at the automobile and the radio and electricity and steam engines and x-ray and serums and vitamins!" we say. "Yes, we made machines, and we discovered power, and we found out what made people ill and what kept them healthy. Oh, it was hard Members of the orchestra are as work, but we did it.

We all have been infected with school spirit at one time or another. Maybe it's a friendly warm feeling for a stranger who says he has attended Union college. Perhaps we feel anxious to return after a summer vacation. But that kind, very acceptable, isn't what we mean. Last week a plan was presented whereby we might obtain furniture for the reading rooms in the library. Faculty members even plan to give us the sum they would have spent for their room had not someone furnished it for them. Cooperation and advice are offered—and we hear grumbles about being hazed into doing things, about being treated as children. What's wrong with us? All of us heard the remarks about how badly furniture is needed. (These remarks were not pre-meditated.) We all know from experience the condition of chairs and tables in the library. Why, we're as bad as the individual who would refuse to walk across the street for a candy bar after he was given a nickel. Maybe we are childish. WHICH ARE YOU? As a minister was studying his Bible while traveling on a train a man across the isle said, "Mister, I don't believe a word of that book?" Failing to gain the minister's attention, he repeated his statement emphatically, but received the same re- sponse. Being irritated and unwilling to remain ignored he arose, crossed the aisle, placed his hand on the Bible, and said, "Mister! Do you know that I don't believe a word of that hook?" The minister never looked up but said, "You don't have to believe it, but if you must go to hell, won't you please go quietly?" Are you a man across the aisle? Do you take others with you on your downward path? Are you the minister, camly studying, indifferent to the welfare of those about you? Or do you believe that these are earth's closing days and that "Go ye into all the world" means you? And if so, are you waiting for that call to a far field, or are you helping the man across the isle? A friendly greeting or a cheerful smile costs nothing, but it goes far to brighten the way. Remember: "The thing that goes the farthest Toward making life worthwhile, That costs the least and does the most, Is just a pleasant smile." REMEMBER THEM! Have you ever thought about the fellows who keep the campus looking neat; the man who goes around with a spiked stick and picks up the candy wrappers which you throw on the lawn? The fellows who get up at five o'clock on mornings when the snow is anywhere from IA inch to one foot deep, as deep as four feet in drifts, to shovel walks clear of snow so that people can get to breakfast with comfort and safety and so that the South hall men and village students can go to class without hav- ing to wade ankle-deep drifts? It seems that there are many forgotten men and women in the world. They are the people who do little things that matter. What does it matter to us in Nebraska whether someone swims the English channel, or someone else climbs the highest mountain in the American continent? Does hearing of these things make life easier or more comfortable or pleasant for us? Does it give us any real sense of satisfaction? The people who do things for us are the ones we should appreciate: the people who carry our books upstairs for us while we attend to other business or the people who help in any way to lighten our own loads deserve our thanks and appreciation first. HERE'S A SUGGESTION Certainly, we know that the campus is our front yard! Too, we don't like the scattered papers and what-have-you that we see. But how about a little cooperation, or call it the power of suggestion. We have a forty acre campus but we'll grant that most of our activity is confined to one-half of it. On this twenty acres there is ONE outdoor receptacle for refuse. It is not reasonable to expect every one to take every scrap of paper or fruit peel to this one can. Let's have at least two more waste receptacles. One in front of each of the three main buildings would do much to encourage proper disposal of waste. What do you say, Mr. Man-with-the-Pointed-Stick? Will you meet us half way? We'll warrant your stick won't wear out so soon if you do. the position of stoker extraordinary in the power house, it is reported. Maybe the promotion went to his head, or maybe he was drowsy from the combined effects of Thanksgiving dinner and early morning furnace fir- ing. But Wilbert Schneider was aw- fully puzzled when Joe asked him after supper that Thursday evening, "What are you going to do this afternoon?" Then when Wilbert told Joe the day of the month and the time of day, Joe yawned, rubbed his eyes and explained, "Shucks! I just got up from a nap, and thought it was Friday morning!" O Entertainments Here Include Faculty Program And Dining Room Social This column is for those who weren't here during Thanksgiving vacation. Station BLAB broadcast a two- hour program from the platform of the chapel the first evening of vaca- tion. Under the direction of faculty members the college industries spon- sored fifteen or thirty minutes of en- tertainment. The Union College laundry spon- sored Charlie McCarthy and Edgar Bergen in an adventure on the cam- pus. Charlie (Virgil Temple) re- lated his unsuccessful ventures in the school laundry truck to Edgar (Joe Beckner). The bakery, sponsored Professor Quiz (Mr. Elmer E. Hagen) awarded "shining gold dollars" to individuals in the audience whr gave correct answers, and Union college dough- nuts to those who failed. In the Battle of Wits, supported by the Dairy, Mrs. Helen Foreman Little and President A. H. Rulkoetter fired questions at five women and five men of the faculty. Between the Book-ends, a presen- tation of the Capital City book- bindery consisted of a round table discussion of books written recently by faculty members. Mrs. Ivamae Small Hilts led her other critics, Ruby Lea, J. N. Anderson, and Cath- erine Shepard in their criticism and praises of books supposedly written by F. L. Marsh, T. A. Little, and H. G. Reinmuth. Musical interludes in this program were furnished by a group composed of Alfred Mazart, Paul Kemper, Pres- ton Neff, and Walter Mazart. Dr. I. Q. (D. Glenn Hilts) asked puzzling questions of four students People DONALD Bates is a junior in the acad- emy. He says he intends to be around Union five more years besides this one, then take medicine at Loma Linda. Don- ald took his sophomore year at the Glen- dale academy in California and his fresh- man year at F. E. A. in Hong Kong. He was born in China, came to the United States when about a year old, and lived at Loma Linda for about five years while his father took medicine there. Then the family returned to China by way of Eng- land, where they stayed for six months. Donald likes French better than any of his other subjects. In the way of sports he likes swimming, skating, tennis, and by never even no means least, ping pong. (Some ping pong players are of the opinion that last Christ- are scarce, the tournament now in progress.) Donald Donald holds a good chance of winning used to collect stamps and now has quite a collection, but he revealed that his present hobby is writing poetry. He says that he speaks Chinese as well as he does English, "and that isn't very well." He told me that he often dreams in Chinese; that would be a real ex- perience for most of us. Donald is the one who makes those composition name- pins you have been noticing some of the students wearing. Making them started as a hobby and has grown into a business. DONOVAN OLSON, although born in the United States, spent the first three years of his life in India and the rest, until a year and a half ago, in South America. Donovan learned to talk Spanish before he learned English. He took his first pany her father, who plays the ac- cordian. After completing her school work, Donna Marie intends to be- come a nurse. --- Quentin Thomas is that gentleman from South Texas. To be exact, he spent the ninth grade in Arling- ton high school, coming to the acad- emy here as a sophomore. He col- lects stamps as a hobby, so take notice, all you stamp collectors. Judging from the way Quentin hits the volley ball over the net in gym period, one would guess that he gets his spinach juice every day. No doubt that gives him steam to play his cornet, too. Quentin has one main ambition. This is to become "one of the greatest doctors North America has ever produced." The first academy girls' club was organized on November 14, when Miss Esther Sonnenberg, critic teach- er in French, met with the group. After election of officers, plans for the continuation of the club were made. Officers chosen were Betty Keen. president; Vivian Jensen, vice- president; and Marceline Hartman, secretary. The first meeting of the club after organization, was held in the North hall worship room on November 21. SABBATH SCHOOL REPORT Note--The following report was given in the Academy Sabbath school recently. On our last Sabbath morning The youth to church had gone, And from within was coming The sound of melodious song. Our hearts were lifted heavenward A Mr. Duffield prayed, And then Miss Johnson told us, By our actions we are repaid. And then we all with interest Did hear a sax quartet. Stan Kannenberg reviewed us On things we shouldn't forget. Then forming into classes, We studied of the long ago. When God in His great power Did let his people go. He guarded them against their foes Who sought to do them harm. And helped them build their temple wall, In spite of fierce alarm. We sang to close our Sabbath school A song we all do know, Of the second coming of Christ our Lord When we to heaven go. three years of high school work at the Adventist training school in San Jose, Costa Rica. It is a Spanish school with about eighty students. His senior year he attended Maplewood academy. Donovan is majoring in religion and ( it seems to run in families) has decided to be a mis- sionary as his father is. Donovan told me a little bit about how they celebrate Christmas in South Ameri- ca. They keep the same day we do, but they really believe Christ was born on that day, and they stress that fact in their celebrations instead of merely hav- ing a ripping good time, eating themselves sick, and letting advertisers dupe them into buying all kinds of things for aunts and uncles that they don't want to buy and that the relatives don't want or need. About a week before Christmas, each family sets up a pine tree in the corner of the room and builds at the foot of it a miniature village scene portraying the birth of Christ. Then, for two weeks, everyone goes visiting everyone else; it's a kind of continual open-house with lots to eat at every house and always the Christmas tree and the Nativity scene to look at. Most of the gifts and enter- tainments given are for the children: parades, parties, and Santa Clauses (al- though, like the little boy in Mary Ohne- mus' reading, they don't really believe in him, it's the spirit of the thing). Donovan likes all kinds of sports: basketball, baseball, skating, tennis, ping pong, and swimming. He fears that his studies sometimes suffer as a result. He likes to read, especially pioneer stories. If he were a faculty member he would loin Mr. Little's Mind Your Own Busi- ness club, no doubt—at least that's the way Donovan feels about it. Even a stranger on the Union col- lege campus November 29 would have realized that something differ- ent was taking place. A mysterious jubilance seemed to pervade the at- :nosphere. Everyone was pleasantly relieved, and some favored few were almost hilarious. The reason? Thanksgiving vacation had arrived at last, and that meant no classes from Wednesday noon until Monday morning, besides a trip home. What hurrying and bustling there was to get those last things into the suitcase, to pack other suitcases into the car, and to bid - farewell to those so unfortunate as to have to stay here. It made no difference that the car was crowded, that there was no room for our feet, that our hats kept tumbling down and getting stepped on, that cold air came in under the door, and that Mrs. Moyer's peanut brittle made us thirsty and we could not get any water. We were going home; that was all that mattered! We felt proud to be the first car headed north to leave the campus, but we were chagrined sixty min- utes later to be found standing by the side of the road pulling a nail two inches long out of our flat tire, while more than a dozen of our fel- low students passed us, laughing and inwardly thanking their lucky stars that we picked up the nail before they came along. Finally our long-anticipated sen- sation was realized. We had crossed the Minnesota state line and were once more back to home, sweet ',o:ne. It was not the snow-blanketed Minnesota we had expected to greet, however. Even there the warmth of autumn still survived. Plenty of sleep, food any time and all the time, all night lights, and scenes, and old friends were ours for three short days. All too quickly vacation passed, and time for returning arrived. A sleepy :ired, but happy group of people once more entered the doors of Union college dormitories with the one consolation that there were only seventeen days left until Christmas vacation. —by R. C. 0 HANGOVER—BECKNER BRAND Joseph Judson Beckner, President and Business Manager of the Golden Cords, who, until recently was chief campus worker, has been promoted to I've lived in Iowa all my life, and there probably are lots of other students who have lived all their lives in Minnesota or Colorado or some other state. But, as one of my teachers said, that's no excuse for not knowing about other parts of the world, because there are lots of students who haven't been stationary all their lives. For instance, there are Milton and Donald Bates, who have lived in China several years and have been in several other countries on their way to and from China. MILTON is taking the premedical course and is looking forward to Loma Linda, and after that the mission field. Right about now we all have the Christ- mas spirit, but we probably don't realize that in China only those who live in the cities know what Christmas is all about. Those in the cities are slowly beginning to pick up Western customs and to cele- brate Christmas much as we do, but the mas in China, the missionaries had a Christmas tree and a Christmas party at the hospital in Canton. Milton was born in Watow, China, and he has lived in China all but six years of his life until he came back to the States about a year and a half ago. Canton, he says, was a city of about a million and a half when he left. Recently a friend of his wrote saying that, shortly after the Japanese occupation of China began, he walked around the city for three days and didn't see one Chinese—they had all evacuated to the country inland. Milton collects stamps, he likes to roller skate and play basketball and tennis. He says that the popular sports in China are basketball and volleyball. chosen from the audience. Sponsor for this entertainment was the Lincoln Broom works. The Union college press furnished broadcasting time for Walter Winch- ell (Dr. E. N. Dick), who flashed his way through news notes of Union college and Union college students and faculty members. Technicians for the program were Dr. H. K. Schilling, Dr. G. C. Jor- gensen and Arthur Raff. Following this entertainment pie was served in the gymnasium. Saturday night a group of Early Americans and Pilgrims gathered in the South hall dining parlor. With Robert Marsh as master of ceremon- ies, the evening proceeded through charades and other games to a final march.

(Continued from page I) skyscrapers can be built to great heights only by first laying deep foundations, the speaker showed the importance of laying in youth proper foundations for life. "The only way to do this," he continued, "is by having high ideals, by putting only the best into life, and by ever in- creasing the effort to accomplish more than before. - One should do his best, Elder Dick said, even in such mediocre, humdrum tasks as sweeping floors, peeling potatoes, and washing dishes. "To do carefully and kindly and consistently all kinds of little things is not a little thing," he quoted, Elder Dick came to Union college in 1911 and while here held at var- ious times the positions of farm man- ager, assistant to the dean of men, and instructor of a biology class. After leaving Union he spent twen- ty-one years in foreign service in Canada, South Africa, and England. Since returning to the United States in 1936 he has been out of the country twice, spending the last two winters in India. In July he returned from a visit to northern Norway and several other European countries. El- der Dick reports that the Norwegian believers are a devoted type of people and that the work they are doing, especially the literature work, is most encouraging. He says that he has good reason to believe that there is scarcely a home in Norway without at least one of the denomination's books. As secretary of the General con- ference, Elder Dick, with his two associates, A. W. Cormack and H. T. Elliott, must pass on all ap- pointments for internships and over- seas missionary service. Since the Autumn council he has visited a number of academies, and before the school year closes he plans to visit most of the senior colleges in the interest of missionary and ministerial service. Experiences Are Lessons, People Learn From Them Entitling his subject "Experiences in the Life of a College Student", T. A. Little, professor of English, related in chapel December 4 a num- ber of his experiences and the lessons he learned from them. Some of the lessons, tersely stated, were, "Learn by experience. Don't be gullible. Keep composed and be re- spectable when you find yourself in a tight place. Be good-naturedly diverting on appropriate occasions. - In telling of a high school student, definitely retarded in school, Mr. Little said that that student is now a nationally known tennis player. His lesson gained from this, the speaker maintained, was, "Don't judge un- promising material too soon." An- other, "Know when to keep your mouth shut," he learned when an in- dividual asked him for advice, not meaning to accept it. An epigram is a half truth so stated as to irritate the person who believes the other half. —Shailer Mathews NEW LUNCH Ice Cream—Pop—Pie 48th & Calvert Nuggets of Knowledge Note: When were these quota- tions used and by whom?

Dick, secretary of the Gen- eral conference and former mission- ary to India, spoke to the Foreign Mission band last Friday evening and emphasized that missionaries are not sent from the home land to foreign countries t o Americanize, westernize, or civilize, but to Chris- tianize people in those lands. He pointed out that one of the steps in gaining confidence of the natives is to be free from national bias. "Lay aside personal patriotism and the habit of comparing them and their customs with Americans and American customs," he advised. What a man is in the home land, he will be in a foreign country, Elder Dick maintained, for foreign mission- ary work is home missionary work after you have arrived. "Only through a definite personal Christian experience may the giving of the Gospel to the natives of foreign coun- tries be most influential," the speaker asserted. Epitaph Needed An innocent, unsuspecting mouse one day allowed his sense of smell to lure him into the room of two North hall girls. Little did he suspect the end that awaited him. But great was his delight when he beheld a box of goodies, scarcely touched, almost made to order for him, it seemed. What a pity to let such delicacies go to waste, he thought. So Mousie proceeded to do something about the situation. And what fun he did have explor- ing the possibilities for Epicurean delight which the box offered—so much fun that he completely forgot himself and his surroundings. Mousie was so absorbed in his discoveries that he was totally unaware of the arrival of one of the girls. Neither was he conscious of the timorous pokes she made on the lid of the box, nor of the scream she let forth as she made a mad jump for the bed after discovering that it actually was a mouse in her birthday box. Mousie nibbled nonchalantly on, blissfully unaware of the plot the two roommates were making for his destruction. But please, don't judge the girls too harshly, for after all, what could be a more pleasant way for a mouse to die than they devised for him? Mousie probably will never know that they tied the lid on the box with a red satin ribbon and rather unceremoniously dumped him in the ash can. Mousie did not die of torture. He died of over-eating: —by J. G. OTHERS SAY— Apologizing is a very desperate habit—one that is rarely cured. Apol- ogy is only egotism wrong side out.

"About ten I would say." (He spoke with considerable authority.) Violet Hanson, when I approached her, looked up, and smiled. (I led off with the usual question.) She responded, "Yes, occasionally." "Why?" (That usually stumps them.) "It gives people a certain grace. It helps them to get along in later life." "Have you ever attended a ban- quet at Union?" "Yes, I attended one this summer." (And then my favorite): "Would you enjoy the occasion any more if the men wore tuxedos?" "No. So few of the men have them, anyway. - Then she added, "A banquet is worth what it costs when one is given occasionally." Elmer Wasemiller was accosted with my leading question while he was drinking from the fountain in the hall. Between swallows he told me that he didn't care especially for banquets, because, as he explained, "Everyone seems too stiff and dig- nified." "How many have you attended?" "Three or four." "Do they improve people's man- ners?" "Probably, to some extent." Then he added, "Some banquets are good and some aren't. - And it all started over a moth- eaten how tie. —by Jake A.

Yet I know Of a bell whose loud, unearthly clang I Can stir my blood And freeze my veins And gnash my teeth And boil my brains. It's little, but It's got some nerve! The rising bell. Alarm clocks cannot phase me, Nor can sirens break my sleep. Loud and boisterous yelling Only sweetens slumber deep. But the sound that penetrates my dream At break of day On air that's cold; Through halls And blanket's fold Can rouse the dead and drown all noise— That rising bell. Some day I hope to lay me Down to sleep with this in mind: That of this whole world's rising bells No trace can mortal find, Then peace would fill my troubled heart, And I would sleep, —Forget all hate; I'd toss and snore, But wake too late To find they're using dynamite in place Of rising bells. By Theodore Pearce The Lancastrian Man is the only animal of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid. I have never thought much of the courage of a lion-tamer.
