Columbia Union F. H. Robbins, President � E. J. Stipeck, Sec'ty-Treas 507 Flower Ave., Takoma Park, D. C. TRANSPORTATION ARRANGEMENTS BE- TWEEN CHICAGO AND MILWAUKEE FOR GENERAL CONFERENCE. During the first few days preceding the conference and also the first two or three days of the conference, arrangements have been made for special transportation service between Chicago and Milwaukee to accommodate those attending the conference. One train in the morn- ing and one in the afternoon on both the Chicago, Mil- waukee and St. Paul, and Chicago and Northwestern railroads have been designated as Seventh-day Adventist trains. Their leaving time from Chicago is as follows: 9:00 A. M., Chicago and Northwestern; 10:20 A. M., Chicago Milwaukee and St. Paul; 3.00 P. M., Chicago and Northwestern; 3:20 P. M., Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul. The time above is central standard time. Chicago has adopted daylight saving time, which is one hour faster, so that these trains would leave one hour earlier by Chicago time. The reason these trains have been designated as Seventh-dayAdventist trains is so that our parties can be mobilized and take advantage of the special party rate which is $1.90 one way in parties of fifty-four or more. A room has been designated in each depot as a place where our people can mobilize for these trains. A railroad representative will be on hand at these two places to mobilize these parties. Doubtless, one of our people will also be there to assist. � • The room at the Northwestern depot will be located on the main floor just at the left of the ticket office as you enter the station from the Canal Street, entrance If you come in on Northwestern train, go out into the wait- ing room, down the stairs to the main floor, and this room is located off to the left of the ticket office. � This depot is known as the Northwestern Passenger Terminal and has entrance on Madison and Canal Streets. The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul trains will leave from the new Union Station with entrances on Jackson Boulevard and Canal Street. The room at this station is on the main floor to the left of the ticket office. If yOu arrive in Chicago on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, Pennsylvania line, Chicago and Alton, or Burlington, you will find this room on the main floor to the left of the ticket office. If you reach Chicago in the morning and wish to remain until the afternoon, check your grips as usual and then plan to be back a few minutes 'before time for the train to leave. If you are from the Pacific coast and hold a summer excursion ticket, or if you have purchased your ticket on the certificate plan with Milwaukee as the destination, in either case then you- will have no necessity of taking advantage of this special rate, or these trains., Our ministers who travel on the clergy rate will find this $1.90 rate cheaper than the clergy or certificate plan rate, or any other rate. They should purchase their clergy ticket to Chicago, then call at the mobilizing room and if sufficient fares are on hand to take advantage of the $1.90 rate, identification tickets will be sold ac- cordingly. This same rate will apply returning. If there are not fifty-four in the party, then clergy tickets may be purchased. It is necessary for us to mobilize these parties in order to be sure of having a party of fifty-four for each train so that this special rate can apply. Tickets should not be purchased at the ticket window. Arrangements covering fares will be made at the mobilizing room. Kindly bear this in mind and plan your stop in Chicago accordingly. This arrangement should be given as wide publicity as possible. Rates of Fare Between Chicago and Milwaukee. Regular one way rate � $3.06 Ten to fifty-three � 2.57 Party rate fifty-four or more � 1.90 Clergy rate � 2.04 Round trip rate, certificate plan � 4.59 Round trip rate, ten-day limit � 5.12 G. C. Hoskin, General Transportation Agent. Our prime elements are due to our drudgery,—I mean that literally,—the fundamentals that underlie all fineness, and without which no other culture worth the winning is even possible. These for instance: (and what names are more familiar?) power of attention, power of industry, promptitude in beginning work, method and accuracy and dispatch in doing work, perseverance, cour- age before difficulties, cheer under straining burdens, self- control and self-denial and temperance. These are the prime qualities; these are the fundamentals.—William C. Gannett. A well-ordered Christian household is a powerful argument in favor of the reality of the Christian religion, —an argument that the infidel can not gainsay.--Patri- archs and Prophets, p. 144. "0 for a passionate passion of souls! O for a pity that yearns!. O for the love that loves unto death! O for the fire that burns! O for the pure prayer, power that prevails, That pours itself out for the lost, Victorious prayer in the Conqueror's name- 0 for a Pentecost!" "There is no worse robber than a bad book."

Van Horn, Sec'ty-Treas Trustings Ave. and Eges Lane, Catonsville, Md. CAMP MEETING The Chesapeake Conference will hold its annual camp meeting from July 8-18 in the beautiful oak grove at Catonsville, Maryland. This will be a very pleasant place to spend some of the hot days beneath the shade of these beautiful oak trees. We are looking for a large attendance this year and for a real blessing. The price of tents, etc., will be as follows: Tent, $5; 'Canvass floor, 50 cents; Cot and Mattress, 75 cents; Partitions, 35 cents; Tables, 25 cents; Chairs, 3 for 25 cents. We trust you will place your orders for tents and furnishings early. R. M. Spencer. DOVER, DELAWARE The writer came to Dover in January, 1925, to act as pastor of the Dover church. My first work was to get each member of the church busy doing something with our publications. It required about two months to get the church in good working order. Through our efforts the Lord blessed us with souls. Just 'a few days before camp meeting, five were buried with their Lord in baptism. From a financial point of view, it has been the best in the history of the Dover church. Our tithes increased from $1,531.39 in 1924, to $1,925.85 in 1925. There was an increase in offerings for missions. � Offerings for missions, 1924, $807.89; for 1925, $1,216.09. Dover church was one of the three churches in the conference that went over the sixty-cents-a-week quota for missions. We thank God for His blessings during the past year, and sincerely hope that we may be a blessing dur- ing 1926, that more souls may be won to Christ and His kingdom. Pray for the work in Dover.. W. H. Loose. THE FEW The easy roads are crowded And the level raods are jammed'; The pleasant little rivers With the drifting folks are crammed. But off yonder where it's rocky, Where—you get a better view, You will find the ranks are thinning And the travelers are few. Where the going's smooth and pleasant You will always find the strong, For the many, more's the pity, Seem to like to drift along. But the steeps that call for courage, And the' task that's hard to do In the end result in glory For the never-wavering few. —Edgar A. Guest. Ohio N. S. Ashton, President � A. E. King, See'ty-Tireas. Box 517, Mt. Vernon, Ooio CAMP MEETING To the brethren and sisters throughout Ohio: I am sure that all will be interested to know where our camp meeting will be held this summer. We have looked over the territory quite carefully, and the best location that we have been able to find is at Wapakoneta, the county seat of Auglaize County. It is situated on the Dixie Highway, fifteen, miles south of Lima and sixty-one miles north of Dayton. We have secured the fair grounds there, which are beautiful and very con- venient. There is a fine dining hall on the grounds. which is a great asset in conducting our meeting. It has been many years since a camp meeting has been held in the western part of the state, and we be- lieve that it will be a great blessing to our churches in western Ohio. In fact, it will be a great blessing to all who attend, and in these days of good traveling facilities, our brethren and sisters from all over the conference can easily attend. The date of the camp meeting' will be August 12- 22. Let all begin to plan now to attend this annual con- vocation of the Lord's people. We will have our bien- nial' conference session at this meeting, at which time all the business pertaining to the conference will be trans- acted. There is much written, both in the Bible and in the "Testimonies" with reference to the importance of God's people assembling themselves together to seek Him in a special way for a deeper Christian experience. And surely the times in which we live make it doubly im- portant that we "forsake not the assembling of our- selves together." We are planning to make the night meetings of special interest to the outside people, and will have a strong program from the beginning to the close, of sub- jects 'bearing directly on the message due the world at this time. The city of Lima is just fifteen miles north on the Dixie Highway, and we plan to bill this city with announcements of our meetings. We believe that many of the people in Lima will be interested to attend our evening meetings. We trust we shall have the largest attendance at our coming camp meeting of any that has ever been held in the history of Ohio, and that the Lord will pour out His blessing in a special -Way. N. S. Ashton, President. TRACT RACKS AND SMALL BOOKS I have been interested in the tract rack work for several years and enjoy it very much. I have a rack placed in my own town, and four racks in other towns in the railway stations, where I can reach all classes of people. I try to visit them once a week with papers and tracts, and I find the racks empty every time I return. I find very few papers destroyed and have put out hun- dreds of papers in this way. The Lord tells us to sow the seed, and He will send someone along to water it, and He will give the increase to His faithful children. A Quaker preach- 4 � COLUMBIA UNION VISITOR er has become interested. I am so glad I can have a place in the service of the Lord, and help win souls for Christ. The harvest is great, but the laborers are few. Let us earnestly pray for more laborers to finish the work. It will pay to be faithful until Christ comes to take us home where sin and sorrow will cease. I am very anxious for a tent effort to be held here in Alliance. We desire this because our literature has been carried from house to house, and the business places have _been visited time after time. We have also placed a year's subscription for the Signs of the Times in the Carnegie Library and also one copy each of "Christ's Object Lessons," "Ministry of Healing," and "Our Day." The library officials expressed their appreciation of the books. I visited the library a few days ago, and to my joy, I saw a young man reading the Signs. _II we follow up our work faithfully as the Lord wants us to, we shall see souls brought into the truth. My heart goes out to the young these days, with the temptations surrounding them on all sides. They need the embracing arm of our dear Saviour to protect them, and it is we who can point them to the "lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world." I, enjoy going out-with the small books from house to house. I have good success with them and sell from two to four books in one house sometimes. I have sold thirty-three books in less than a day and a half. One of my neighbors came in one evening to call on my sick patient for whom I am caring, and I was just looking over my small books, thinking I would go out some day with them. The lady asked rue what kind of books I had. I showed them to her. She looked them over, and decided to take three of them. These little books sell well. The titles and silent prayer sell the books. There is no excuse for Seventh-day Adventists not selling these books. If they put forth the effort, they can sell them. I ask an interest in your prayers, that I may be kept faithful in my efforts for Jesus. Josephine Patterson. West Pennsylvania W. M. Robbins, President � W. B. Mohr, Sec'ty-Treas 506-508 First National Bank, Greensburg, Pa. NEWS NOTES Several churches have sent to the conference office the names of delegates elected to represent their church at the conference sessions at camp meeting. Elder and Mrs. Robbins visited Johnstown church last Sabbath, May 8. We were yery sorry to hear of the serious illness of Miss Erma Digby, of the Altoona church. She has been ill with pneumonia. We announced last week that a report of the Big Week results would appear this week. We are very sorry it cannot be done. Some of our church treasurers failed to report on time. Do you know that West Pennsylvania leads the conferences in this Union in the sale of Watchman magazines? We rejoice to publish such reports,-but we truly believe the report should be much-larger, as there are many members in West Pennsylvania who could do this work. We hope they will get busy, now that nice weather is here once more. June 13 is Children's Day throughout the United States. What would be a more appropriate gift than a nice Bible? Send to the West Pennsylvania Book and Bible House, Greensburg, for suggestions. Brother Coon, Missionary Volunteer Secretary of the conference, is planning a convention for that depart- ment at Altoona, May 14-16. Members of Clearfield, Huntington and Johnstown churches are invited to at- tend. Don't fail to get a copy of the new song book, "Gospel in Song." Paper binding, 35 cents; limp keratol, $1. Our new Home Missionary Secretary, Brother C. B. Newmeyer, will take up his duties June 1. All cor- respondence pertaining to the Home Missionary Depart- ment should be addressed to him. Brother Newmeyer succeeds Brother A. E. Kibler who is now in California. We still have on hand at the conference offiCe in Greensburg, a supply of the Liberty Extras. � Your friends and neighbors should have them. They contain valuable information that will enlighten souls on the true principles of religious liberty. Send for a hundred or more at $1.60, and do your part. Potomac T. B. Westbrook, President �E. L. Workman, Sec'ty- Treas. 411 Cedar St., Takoma Park, D. C. NEWS NOTES Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Sorensen, from New Jersey, have arrived in the Potomac Conference to take up their work. Brother Sorensen will have charge of the Mis- sionary Volunteer Department and 'Sister Sorensen will be the Educational Secretary of the conference. All cor- respondence should be sent to them from now on. Mr. Carson Neff, for a number of years a faithful member of the Virginia Conference, passed away at his home in Takoma Park, Tuesday night, May 4, and was buried at Quicksburg, Virginia, Friday, May 1. His wife and family and relatives have our sympathies in this hour of their bereavement. Twenty-six of our Sabbath schools made a financial gain for the quarter which closed in March, 1926, over the same period of 1925. Two lost by only one cent per week per church member. Let every school care- fully watch its per capita week by week. Elder and Mrs. T. B. Westbrook visited the Vien- na church, Sabbath, May 8. This church is of good courage and is going forward in the work of the Lord. Elder W. W. Eastman spoke at the Capital Me- morial church, Sabbath, May 8, in behalf of the colpor- teur work. Several manifested interest in taking up that line of work in the near future. COLUMBIA UNION VISITOR � 5 Brethren L. W. Graham and J. W. Siler went to New Market, Tuesday, May 4, to meet with the colpor- teurs' band at Shenandoah Valley Academy: Professor H. A .Morrison, from Washington Missionary College, visited the Shenandoah Valley Academy on Tuesday, speaking to the Seniors on Tuesday night and in chapel on Wednesday morning. Elder G. E. Johnson, of the Richmond No. 2 church, reports three precious souls buried in baptism. There are several others preparing to take this step. They ask the prayers of God's people that they may have success in winning souls for His kingdom. East Pennsylvania C. V. Leach, President � W. H. Jones, Sec'ty.Treas. 3256 Germantown Ave., Philadelphia, Pa. NEWS NOTES Elder Krieghoff, Superintendent of the Uraguay Mission in South America, visited Philadelphia on his way to General Conference.

We appreciate the good work our colporteurs are doing. We now stand fourth place in Review territory in subscrip- tion book sales. Big Week was truly a Big Week in our conference this year. There were over 3,500 Big Week sets placed in the hands of our people and at this writing orders are still coming in. We trust that the sales were equally as good. Brother J. A.

"Far too little thought is given to the causes under- lying the morality, the disease and degeneracy, that exist today even in the most civilized and favored lands." "Unless you would have a home where the shadows are never lifted, do not unite yourself with one who is an enemy of God." "Parents may lay for their children the foundation for a healthy, happy life." "God says, 'No,' sometimes. Elijah prayed under the juniper tree that he might die. If God had answered `Yes' we would have lost the translation scene in the Old Testament." Even in the primary schools the children should be taught to form habits that will keep them in health.— Counsels to Teacheirs, p. 520. "Habit which is so terrible a force for evil, it is in their• power to make a force for good."—Ministry of Healing7r152. When the child is old enough to attend school, his health should be regarded as of greater importance than a knowledge of books.—Education, p. 208. 6 � COLUMBIA UNION VISITOR ADVERTISEMENTS We do not solicit general advertisements, and must reserve the right to reject any or all.

FIVE-YEAR NURSES' COURSE The increasing demand for nurses' training com- bined with college work has prompted the Washington Sanitarium and Hospital, in cooperation with the Wash- ington Missionary College, to offer a five-year course leading to the Bachelor of Science Degree and a Nurses' Diploma, the latter admitting the graduate to State Board recognition as a registered nurse.
