Alumni Picnic Sunday Afternoon Meet at College Buildino KI7 ..... I - • WELCOME Friends and Patrons of Union College Fortieth Anniversary Celebration Ten O'clock, Friday Morning, May 29 MISS JOHNSON TALKS Tells Customs and Superstitions Among People of India Esther Johnson gave a talk on Indian customs and superstitions as the mis- sion feature of the college Sabbath school last week. She told of an aged blind grandmother who gave as her principal reason for wishing to see her new-born grandson the belief that after his death he would be reborn in the body of a dog or other animal, and that thus she would never see him as a human being unless she saw him in this life. She told also of the caste system and how it affects the mission work there. "The complex of superiority or of inferiority which de- velops in the minds of men and women under the caste system is hard to over- come," she said. Vernon Becker stepped over to a black- board and turning it over displayed a -Sabbath School Register." On one side of the register were such names as Luke Warm, N. 0. Interest, Will Next Time, and D. 0. Nothing. "To those who have enrolled in this class we recommend a better class," he said, pointing to a second list: D. 0. Mypart, A. Privilege, Earnest Seeker, the distinguished Count On-me, and A. Helper. The Scripture lesson was given and prayer offered by Mrs. Margie Burroughs. JUNIORS ENTERTAIN THE COLLEGE SENIORS Gymnasium Decorated as Garden ' And Buffet Supper Served Before Program By NORMA HILDE The juniors entertained the seniors at a buffet supper in the gymnasium Thurs- day evening at eight o'clock. The gym- nasium was beautifully decorated with the senior class colors and banked with ferns and foliage in a garden effect. The supper was served first, during which the string trio played. The string trio was composed of Mrs. Hayden, La Merne Walker, and Hazel Kipp accom- panied by Mary Hannah Thompson. The supper consisted of creamed potatoes, salad, cheese croquettes, butter rolls, cake and strawberry ice cream. A program followed the supper. Mrs. Hayden played a request number com- posed by Samuel Gardner. Elinore Hahn cordially welcomed the seniors to the junior-senior spring party. Reinhold Bietz gave a response to the welcome. Mrs. P. L. Thompson sang, accompan- ied by Mary Hannah Thompson. Doro- thy Vogel told of some of her memories of Union. Some of the first ones weren't so pleasant to her, but now she thinks a great deal of Union because of the many enjoyable as well as comical things which she remembers having taken place since she has been here. Miss Hiatt gave a humorous reading about Mr. and Mrs. Mann, who had de- cided to get ready to go on a trip inde- pendent of each other's help. The results were disastrous, particularly for Mr. Mann. Next, President Thompson talked on one's attitude toward life after one leaves college. One should be able to enjoy the common homely things of life, he said. Brightness in school does not always in- sure brightness in life. Sometimes those who are "school-dull" are "life-bright." As a climax to a delightful evening, punch was served from an old-fashioned well while the string trio played. A rep- resentative of the senior class thanked the juniors for the pleasant evening they had spent with them, and so closed one of the annual spring events at Union co'- lege. Seminar Discusses Phases of the Colporteur Work Various phases of the canvassing work were discussed by members of the col- porteur band at the Gospel Workers' seminar meeting Friday evening, with Lowell Welch, band leader, in charge. "Colporteur work develops that faith in a living God which is necessary to meet the troubles of the last days," de- clared Reuben Johnson. "The colporteur does not fear the coming time of trouble, for, like David, he has learned to trust in the Lord in times of trials and disap- pointments. God does lead the colpor- teur." Mr. Johnson told how the colporteur work had taught him his dependence up- on the Lord for food and shelter. "When God calls a colporteur to go out, - he said, "the Lord provides for him and gives him a deep longing for the king- dom and a burden for souls."

May 29 is the date for the anniversary celebration, the program to begin at ten o'clock Fri- day morning on the campus in front of North hall. The program follows: Music College Band Prayer Elder Andreasen Reading, "Old Union" Professor Hilts The Spirit of Union Pres. Thompson Music String Quartet HISTORY OF OLD UNION IN PAGEANT Locating Committee 1889 Breaking the Sod 1890 Arrival of the Original Seventy-three 1891 The Dedication 1891 One of the Beginnings of Our Y.

F. Piper, president of the Colorado conference, speaking in church Sabbath morning, based his talk on God's commission, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel: to every creature." He then read a second text to show that this is a prerequisite of the Savior's return. "In fact," he said, "the preaching of the gospel is the reason for our ex- istence. We have been preaching the Sabbath truth for eighty-four years and at present there are only 300,000 Sabbath keepers. How much longer is it going to take us if we follow our present meth- ods? If we are to accomplish the task in this generation we will have to change our methods," he continued. "In the United States alone there are 40,000,000 people who are not under the influence of any church. What are Chris- tians, what are Seventh-day Adventists, going to do about that? The preachers cannot do it all." Pastor Piper said that until the laity gets busy the work done by the preachers will not accomplish the task. He gave an effective illustration to emphasize this idea. "A captain of ar. army trains his men for a long period; when the battle starts the men go to the front and do the fighting. How ridiculous it would be if they stood back and ex- pected their captain to go to the firing line alone and fight the battle, though he is their leader. But this is exactly what many are doing. "The minister is the husbandman, but • the vineyard is where the fruit is pro- duced. There is only one worker for ev- ery 42,000 people in this denomination. If every lay-member would awake and get to work, fruit bearing would be in- creased 43,000 per cent. What are you doing to advance this cause?" The ques- tion was sent home by the following state ment: "If you don't do more than go to church every Sabbath, pay your tithe, and give your sixty cents or more a week, you will not do your part in finishing this work in this generation. We await the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, but the Holy Spirit will never be poured out upon one who does not both work and pray earnestly." He concluded his talk by asking the congregation not to wait for someone else to lead out but to start, for, he said, the work of God can never be done until the laity begin to follow God's plan for them.

MAY 21, 1931 No. 32 STUDENTS HAVE A LAWN PARTY Dormitory Students and Faculty Meet on Lawn for Evening of Entertainment MISS HIATT READS Colorful Decorations Greet Guests and An Attractive Buffet Supper is Served on Lawn A sudden electric storm and downpour of rain brought an unexpected intermis- sion in the lawn party of the school homes and faculty members Sunday eve- ning, making it necessary to finish the program in the North hall worship room. However, the storm waited long enough to allow a pleasant social hour and buf- fet supper on the colorfully lighted and decorated lawn. Japanese lanterns, crepe paper streamers, brightly colored porch chairs, and lattice work made the atmo- sphere of a garden party. • While the guests were assembling the string trio, composed of Mary Hannah Thompson, La Merne Walker, and Har;e1 Kipp, played several semi-classical num- bers. They continued to play while th2 guests were served. The supper con- sisted of fancy sandwiches, perfection salad, punch, and sponge-cake with •, cream, strawberries, and whipped cream. The principal feature of the program was the reading of the narrative, - Wheels of Time," by Miss Hiatt. This book by Florence Barclay is a gripping story il- lustrating the impossibility of recalling the past and therefore the necessity of seizing upon the present for the doing of all the fine things one would accomplish. Another musical number was a piano solo, "Blue Danube Transcription," by Johann Straus-Schultz Ercler, played by Mr. Gernet, instructor in piano. The guests called for encores on both the music and reading. PASTOR PIPER GIVES EVENING DISCOURSE God Promises Keys of Heaven to Church and Expects Great Things in Return Pastor J. F. Piper, president of the Colorado conference and member of the Union college board, spoke to the stu- dents at the regular vesper service Fri- day evening. "I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever that shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven," was the key text of his sermon. In commenting on the text, Pastor Pi- per said, "The church of Christ is the object of His supreme love. He expects great things from His church and in turn will give great things to His church. "God says, 'I am going to honor those who honor Me and give them the liberty of heaven.' Isn't it worth it? Byrd and Lindbergh made exacting plans for their trips and as a result obtained their goals. What will the Lord of glory do for them who are faithful? John says, 'I saw them there.' The saints follow the Lamb wherever He goes on tours of the universe. It is well worth striving for. "I believe He gives to us all here the actual keys of heaven, with which we may either bind or loose. Now you may say, what are those keys? There may be perhaps a human soul burdened by sin. You have the key. You have been under the influence of Christian teachers. Per- haps you can do something to bring relief to a struggling soul. "Are you going to lose sight of the things you have had planted in your mind? In the natural world if keys are not in use, soon they will rust out. So with the keys of God. What will you do with the keys?" Mr. and Mrs. Wendell Graham took Ermina Powell's Sunshine band in their car to the Tabitha Home Sabbath after- noon. Special music was rendered by Harry Winters on his accordian and two duets were sung by Miss Powell and Velvah Smouse, accompanied by LaVona Gordon. Miss Powell also gave a read- ing and Walter Howe gave a short talk. Arthur Leno was unable to walk with- out the aid of crutches for a few days, because of a wrenched knee. He is able to get along without them now. Several students and faculty members attended the air plane meet in Omaha Sunday. IN JUNIOR RECITAL La Merne Walker Gives Junior Violin Recital; Miss Mason Reads By GLADYS MUNN La Merne Walker, violinist, was pre- sented in a studio recital Sunday after- noon by Gwendolen Lampshire Hayden, violin instructor of Union College School of Music. Miss Walker was assisted by Mary Mason, reader, and Ada Town- send, accompanist. The program consisted of four parts. The first was made up of two violin solos, "Mazurka" by Mylinarski, and "Adoration," by Borowski. The second part was a group of three violin solos, "Trasquita," by Lehar-Kreisler; "Chant Nebre," by A. Walter Kramer; and "Spray," by Cecil Burleigh. Part three was a reading, "The Master's Violin," by Mary Mason. The fourth part was an- other group of three violin solos. These solos were "Romance" by Svendsen; "Thais," by Massenet; and "Hejre Kati," by Hubay. The program was well given. In her eight solos Miss Walker demonstrated good technique and an understanding in cerpretation. She and her accompanist observed a skillful synchronism and Miss Mason's reading was truly appreciated. This program was Miss Walker's junior recital. Her mother was present at the rendering. STUDENTS OF MUSIC APPEAR IN RECITAL Program Includes Four-Hand Number by Mary Hannah 'Thompson and Mr. Gernet A piano solo, "Les Sylvains," by Chamirade, played by Theone Evans, op- ened a recital by students of Esth2r Lorntz Ledington, voice, Gwendolen Lampshire Hayden, violin, and Sterling K. Gernet, piano, given in the chapel Saturday evening. A vocal solo by Wesley Unterseher, "Asleep in the Deep," by Petrie, was followed . by young Claire Willis, violin- ist, who played "Melody in by Ru- benstein. The audience responded gen- erously to the work of this young player. He was accompanied by Ada Townsend. Esther Nelson sang "Brilliant Bird," by David, and "Will 0' the Wisp," by Straus. Etude in F Minor, Chopin, played by Ada Townsend, continued the pro- gram. A quartet composed of Messrs. Frank Baer, Dale Strawn, Richard Gibson, and Elmer Schmidt, sang "The Two Gren- adiers," by Schumann, which told the story of two French soldiers who were imprisoned in Russia during the Napo- leonic wars. On reaching the borders of their native country they heard of the death of their emperor, Napoleon. The song voices their devotion to their old commander. Lyle Freemeyer played "Ave Maria," by Bach-Gounod, and "Salute dAmour, - by Elgar. He was accompanied by Esther House at the piano. A voice group followed. Lilah Baer sang - II Bacio," by Arditti, in the Italian, Richard Gibson sang "Tommy Lad," by Margetson. Doris Kirstein, accompanied by Ada Townsend, sang "The Asra, - by Richenstein, and "Ecstacy," by Rummel. "Romance," by Svendson, and "Hejre Kati," by Hubay, were played by La Merne Walker, violinist, accompanied by Miss Townsend. "The Lotus Flower," by Schumann, and "The Nomad," sung by Ermina Powell were followed by Velvah Smouse in "Whither My Heart," by Bungert, and "Break 0' Day," by Sanderson. The program was closed with a two piano number. "Concerto in D Major," by Mozart, Mary Hannah Thompson at the first piano and Professor Gernet at the second. Mrs. Ledington accompanied her voice students. Students Conduct Bible Studies in Lincoln Homes Members of the Gospel Workers' semi- nar conducted three Bible studies in Lin- coln Sabbath afternoon. Mr. Alonzo Cor- nell furnished his car for the trip. Sophia Van Buskirk, assisted by Mabel Ellwan- ger, gave a Bible lesson to a group of ten children. Ramona Ellis conducted a study with a colored lady on the subject "Christ's Millennial Reign." Miss Ellis was accompanied by Mrs. Rosendahl. Bessie McCumsey gave a study on "Per- sonal Preparation for Christ's Second Coming," to a group of four ladies in a Spanish home. A Spanish book furnished by Clinton von Pohle and copies of Present Truth were left with them. Nora Lankford accompanied her. Self in One's Religion Is Theme of Address P. L. Thompson, president of Union college, presented in Wednesday's chapel the place of self in religion. Many Chris- tians are continually striving to get rid of self, he said. Questions that should concern each one he stated, are: "What is to become of me?" "What am I here for?" "Where am I going?" Religion is personal, and God is concerned with the individual, the self, he affirmed. "Any church, school, or nation which has fallen into the pit of sin can be up- lifted only by individuals," continued President Thompson. "Every man who would 'live godly in Christ Jesus' must do it as an individual. "There are men who contribute to hos- pitals in China but do nothing toward the personal uprightness of the community. Men often give large sums to charity when their hearts are not in it. It is one's personal feelings that really matter in God's sight. "It is a privilege to be in a school where all are not ashamed to recognize themselves as children of J." "God wants your life to be a song. - Eighteen counters beckoned to me as I entered a dime store one afternoon. Each counter held out a fascinating story of its own. My pencil and notebook seemed to say, - Hurry!" and at that mo- ment I noticed a bower of decorative flowers. Bright roses, brilliant tulips, modest pinks, shy violets, dainty sweet peas, golden jonquils, and carnations created a complex color harmony. The nasturtiums, being more aggressive than the others, had actually forced their way to the front and I discovered that more of them leave their places on the counter than any other flower. A dime stores is no place to stand still; so I hurried on. Even sounds are progres- sive in such places, for from a phono- graph came the strains, "You're Driving Me Crazy," and at the same time from the pounding notes of a piano I recog- nized, "When Your Hair Has Turned to Silver." What housewife's attention is not drawn to dishes? There in stacks of green, white, blue, and yellow they lay before me. The little maid who guarded them smilingly informed me that green is pre- ferred in dishes just now, although in the glassware the pink colors run a close second. And who, in this age of progress in sanitation and of health principles, would think that much more graniteware is sold than aluminum? According to dime store figures it is true, and dishpans and stew- pans are in greatest demand. Aluminum sales rank high in knives and forks. In order that the kitchen utensil counter does not lead entirely in cleanliness the wooden ware counter sells most frequent- Services Are Conducted In Out-Lying Churches Lowell Welch and Gideon Krueger were accompanied by Walter Howe on their regular trip to Cortland, Sabbath. The service was in charge of the young people of the church, who conduct a meeting once each month. (The following report of field work by members of the homiletics class was omit- ted last week through an oversight.) Jacque Spohn conducted a Mother's Day service at Aurora, Sabbath, May 19. Young people of the church assisted in the program with readings and poems. A musical feature was a solo, "My Name in Mother's Prayer," by Clyde Bushnell, accompanied on the violin by Lyle Free- meyer. Mr. Spohn reports that one man in Aurora plans to enter the colporteur work in two weeks, when his children are out of school. Ralph Cash spoke at Fremont Sab- bath morning, omitting the afternoon Bible study. Clinton von Pohle and Ned Bresee assisted in the Blair Sabbath school. Mr. von Pohle conducted a Bible study in the afternoon. Pastor Sorenson spoke at Seward. He was accompanied by Arthur Winters. ly—soap dishes! The dry goods counter falls right into line with a high sale of ten cent towels, five cent wash cloths, and ten cent oil cloth. The art goods and floss counter keep industrious fingers busy embroidering with six strand mercerized and four strand silk floss on pillow slips and pillow tops. One pillow top stamped with a romantic design, aided by the record, "Red River Valley," which was being played then, portrayed for me a mental picture of a true Nebraska romance of pioneer days. Having known one of the characters for years, the incident seemed to turn time backward in its flight and to give me a fleeting glimpse of a bit of romance. But the common things of everyday life, such as shoestrings, do not allow us many dreams in dime stores. White thread, number fifty, and men's twenty- seven inch black shoe laces seemed to cry out at once from the notion counter, "I lead." But they could not keep me long, for from the toy counter piles of marbles beckoned. I had to stifle an oh! of surprise when I noticed agates, agates, and agates. No prize that I have ever won has given me more joy than when, as a child, I could win, in a game of marbles, my brother's most cherished agates. It was not neces- sary to inquire about the best selling toy, for side by side lay the marbles and the jack-stones. Passing by one counter I seemed to recognize every article: pencils, rulers, erasers, colors and paper of every de- scription. I imagined that I knew what article on that counter sold more frequent- ly, but I did not, for instead of pencils (Continued on page three) LITER AR Y FEATUREE Fifteen Minutes in a Dime Store By MRS.

SELF-SATISFACTION MEANS DECAY A young man recently remarked that he had been seriously aroused to a consciousness that there are only a few more days left until the close of the present school year in which he might be of service and influence in Union college. He said that this discovery had set him to thinking and had caused him to make a thorough consecration of his time and talents that nothing worthwhile might be lost during his last days here. Many students here will feel as this year draws to a close that things might have been done that were left undone and that things which were done might have been done better. Life goes that way. Is it right or is it not? We are told that self-satisfaction is a sure sign of decay. Do we say then that we ought always to be looking in retrospect with only condemnation for the past or looking at the present with only complaining? Or should we expect to reach our highest aims and then on the pinnacle of our success sit down to announce our achievements to the world? Such an end is paradoxical to normal people. It is at the same time undesirable and impossible and the illusion which deceives a few into thinking they have attained it is their destruction. As long as we retain ''this mortal frame," life will continue to open to us grander and more magnificent fields of vision, oppor- tunities for greater and nobler service, and more profound and divine conceptions of truth. A realization of the grand ideal state beyond which no man will wish to go and where duty and education end might come—if man could comprehend God and eternity. The best we can do is to forget the past but remember the lessons it has taught us, let tomorrow take care of its own worries, and live up to the best that we have and are today. H. P.

She attended Union the past three semesters, and is planning to be at Union again the coming year.) My mind happens to run to fish be- cause I have today visited the aquarium of the Golden Gate park in San Francis- co. I went with my uncle, via electric train, from the center of Berkeley to wharves at the edge of the bay where I had my first experience of ferrying across any bay. I was appropriately thrilled and uneasy. Hurrying across the bay, we selected another electric car out of the assort- ment awaiting the ferry and galloped, really, up and down the hills over to Cie famous Cliff house. En route I was sur- prised to note the many tall buildings of San Francisco, and my uncle told me that they had grown up since the 1906 earth- quake. All the way I pondered on the possibility of the earth quaking again and tumbling them down on our heads. After we had examined the Cliff house and surroundings and had taken a snap- shot of the sea lions and seals out on their rocks, we rode on another car to the Golden Gate park. It is a large place and is attractive in that it lacks the extreme artificiality of many of the western parks. We went through the museum and saw the aquarium. Don't be fooled when the papers say that a certain new dress is an original creation of So-and-So, be- cause I recognized distinctly several good styles that are replicas of what certain fish have always worn. For instance, there was one variety that was smooth and black with small, neat fins and a tiny white piping along its back between the body and the fins. Then there were exquisite creations of bla :k and yellow in patterns that have and have not been copied. One little fish looked exactly as if it wore a dainty, pink-checked gingham kitchen dress. Another kind swam gracefully in a slim, neat suit of three-toned blue. And my favorite fish was that lovely, rich, in- tense blue of the sea far out by the pale horizon on a sunny day. These were Samoan fish, I noticed, and were about the right size for a bowl in my room. With all these styles to choose from there is nothing to prevent any woman's matching a pet fish with all of her clothes. There were really fish of all colors, sizes, and shapes, briefly: pale, delicate green with contrasting pink shades; every tone of blue; rich, velvety yellow; pale, dainty yellow; orchid; silver; polka dots; large and small stripes; slender, graceful fig- ures; square, fiat ones; dainty-mouthed ones; big, awkward, goggle-eyed ones; and everything in the fish line that you ever saw or imagined. They reminded me that last week at Santa Barbara I visited Featherhill ranch and saw a group of nearly as beautiful but not so astonishing feathered creations. My biggest surprise was the gray par- rots with actually pink and white trim- ming. At the same place were a number of my favorite animal—the dog. Big Tilly M. H. McVEY Filling Station 4040 So. 48th Phillips Products CAPITAL ENGRAVING COMPANY PAGE TWO THE CLOCK TOWER trotted up and nearly knocked me over with friendliness. There were half a dozen such dogs that stood nearly half as tall as I. And under their feet ran several long-eared, short-legged, German dogs, and two pesky, mischief-eyed, black and white rascals who teased everything in the yard. Everything I see leaves me stunned at my ignorance of the big, wide world that no longer whirls at my feet, but merely allows me standing room in which to grow up. The big and little fish swimming to- gether reminded me again of Ralph Par- lea's University of Hard Knocks from which he wants us to remember how the big nut always goes up and the little bean rattles down. In spite of its disadvantages, travel might help one to grow up and keep from rattling—yet again it may help him rattle harder. That depends. There is something that inclines one to silence and humble wisdom, I think, in the acquaintance of the wonders of God's creation. One might write volumes on the emotions felt in such friendship or the lessons learned. But the personal under- standing is the thing that counts most with each individual. That is, I'm not es- pecially thrilled over your lengthy ac- count of a beautiful rose unless I, too, have studied its petals and smelled its fragrance.

A few more of us might take an hour to admire a flower, a tree, a friend, or a poem, and return to reali- ties with bigger souls. Why, even the sight of good Nebraska corn and wheat fields would do me good right now. ALUMNI NOTES BY LULU BLANCHE HIATT .

Martial law is the republic's answer to the mobs which have swept through the streets of the largest cities in a campaign against the Catholic church. Premier Molatov and Joseph Stanlin, head of the communist party, issued a joint decree abolishing the card ration system for practically all commodities except food, fuel, and certain building materials. Alfonso XIII, exiled king of Spain, is determined not to interfere with the republic, as much as he deplores the re- cent attacks on churches and convents. He announced that he intends to let Spain work out her own destiny and remain true to his proclamation of non-interference. The long-anticipated - battle of An- schluss," upon the outcome of which de- pends whether French or German ideas will prevail in Europe's efforts to over- come the present economic depression, opened before the commission for the federation of Europe.

Think of this setting—a cool evening, the stands overflowing, the whole spectacle brilliantly lighted with G-E floodlights, and a fast track — a record simply couldn't stand the "gaff." Nighttime, when people naturally turn to diversion, is the logical time for a track meet. Lack of support will be a thing of the past. And just watch the athletic fund grow. G-E floodlighting projectors, largely the development of college-trained men, are easily adapted to arty occasion whether football, track, tennis, commencement, receptions, or plays. Efficient G-E illumination promotes athletics and builds school spirit. For further information address Publicity Department (E). Ask for GEA-1206— "The Light That Started Sports at Night."

VON POHLE (Mrs. von Pohle lived in "The Castle" in the years 1912 to 1913, at which time Pro- fessor von Pohle, now educational secretary of the Southwestern Union, was preceptor here. She paid a visit to the college recent 1Y.) It was with a definite thrill of excite- ment and pleasure that, after an absence of eighteen years, I found myself one day in April, 1931, on my way to Col- lege View. How vividly I recalled that time in February so long before, when, with my baby in my arms, I boarded the car that traveled so slowly through the raging blizzard to Lincoln, where I was to take the train to St. Paul. What a contrast this beautiful spring af- ternoon, with the budding trees and flow- ers and with the song of the cardinal, was to the blustering winter of so long ago! And where was the waste "howl- ing wilderness" through which the street car used to pass on its way to and fro between College View and Lincoln? Here, for the entire distance, were beautiful homes surrounded by spacious green lawns. Long before I reached my destination, my eager eyes caught sight of the an- cient landmark for which I had been watching—the clock tower. Yes, there it loomed as of old, but somewhat changed in a way I could not at first explain. What was the difference? Not until the melodious tones rang out from the tower did I discover that now there was a real clock striking the hour. ''No longer," thought I, "can a sleepy student blame his slow clock for his tardiness to his early morning class." The arches over the entrances to the campus are beautiful additions since the old days, but the brick walks are just the same, as I discovered to my sorrow as I walked to South hall. When I rang the bell, I half expected Mrs. Shepard to appear, but a blond young man welcomed me, and I found the place filled with young men. "Is not this where the young ladies live?" I inquired. "Oh my, no!" was the reply. "They moved a long time ago to what used to be the sanitarium, and is now North hall." "Do all the young men live here now?" I queried. "Are there no more 'Knights of the Castle' nor 'Senators of the White House'?" "All room here," was the answer, "the Castle is now de- serted, and East hall has become the Normal building." As I walked around the campus, I noted growth and progress on every hand. There was the new print shop, the new gympasium and swimming pool, the new tennis court, lily pools, shrubbery, and flowers of all kinds. And the changes were not confined solely to the out-of- doors. I rejoiced over the beautiful furn- ishings of both North and South halls and the added equipment in the class rooms and laboratories. The appearance of even the chapel was changed, for what used to be the rear of the room was now the front—a decided improve- ment, I thought. I was glad to note, however, that one item, at least, re- mains unchanged—the young men and women who crowd the chapel now seem the same in earnestness and zeal as those other young men and women of long ago, and it was indeed gratifying to see on the map above the rostrum the many, many Golden Cords which now reach out to all parts of the world. The dining room, as I entered, looked just the same as it always had. "Ah!" I said to myself, "here is a place which GRADUATION GIFTS OUR PAYMENT PLAN WILL ASSIST YOU DIAMONDS WATCHES RINGS PEN—PENCILS LEATHER GOODS MANY OTHER GIFTS Fenton B.

After reading the twenty-ninth and a portion of the thirtieth chapters of Job, President Thompson called attention to Job's complaint because even though he had been diligent in good works, yet af- flictions had come upon him and had put him in derision among those who once held him in esteem. He pointed out the similarity between the experiences of Job and the experi- ences of many Christians. "Not only the loss of prosperity or personal esteem, but also the coming of bodily afflictions into the lives of people sometimes cause them to complain against God and to lose faith in Him," he said. "It ought to be the Christian's prayer that when the hardships of life come up- on him that they may try and purify him," he concluded. Illustrative of this thought he read Arthur Stringer's "A Wanderer's Litany." WATCHES FOR Co Just Say "MILLAY" FOR HOSIERY SATISFACTION!

But again I was mistaken, for an up-to-date cafeteria style of serving has replaced the old American way. My most vivid recollec- tion of the old dining room service ce-i- ters around the little, red, sour cherries that used to be served at every meal . The only way to get rid of them was to eat them, with results similar to those experienced after biting into an under- ripe persimmon. It was with a distinct feeling of relief that I noted the lade sour cherries were conspicuous by their absence. Of course, I had to take a trip to the Castle, where, for a short time, I had lived with the Knights. As I peeped into one deserted room after another, I tried to recall the particular Knight who had occupied it. Many of these Knights, now nearing middle age, are men who hold positions of trust in the homeland and in lands across the sea. As I leaned over the stairway railing in the Castle and peered below to the very basement, it was not without a smile that I recalled the laundry bags (to say nothing of pa- per bags filled with water) which were sometimes catapulted into the abyss, often to the surprise and the complete discom- fiture of an unsuspecting pedestrian be- low. It was indeed a great pleasure and privilege once again to mingle with the teachers and the students of "Old Un- ion," and to note how, in every line of en- deavor it has become a bigger, better, busier college. Habits May Be A Chain or Defense By ARTHUR LENO Habit is a result of repeated action. It may be good or bad. Nature is entirely indifferent as to what the action is. It received the impression and repeats the expression without regard to the morality of what is happening. The faculty to form the things called habits is a great gift of nature to the economy of life. Nature seems to say to us "Do what you wish to do; I will make it easier for you to repeat your action each time you try it. If you continue long enough I will cut the matter deeper and deeper in the phonographic disk of your per- sonality so that in time you can start a particular record of past action and it will run its course without your immedi- ate attention. I will see to it that the things you decide to do and repeat shall become a kind of second nature to you. You will be able to do them in an auto- matic way and the process will really re- lease your chief attention to other af- That is the sort of speech nature is making to each of us and we do not live very long in this world before realizing that nature keeps her word. This is all fine provided only that our choices of action are fine. The whole remarkable experience begins with the choices and decisions that lie back of our action. Back of choice and decision is the thought that produces these and back of the thought is the source of ideas. Habit, therefore, has a natural history, and whoever watches the process all along and forms habits that are good may become so strong that he establishes an immunity against evil so that it cannot touch him nor break through the powerful defense of repeated good. The great question is, "Are you the master of good habits that work well for you or are you the slave of habits that are ill?" NELSON THE SHOEMAKER We rebuild shoes. Make them look and wear like new.

He said that the canvasser, like the prospector, is many times not privileged to see the results of his work. Fred Gibson discussed some questions frequently asked colporteurs. He related how one lady's life was saved by a health book which he had sold her.. "I believe that it pays to stop at every house, and to go back the second time," he said. "Canvassing does pay, and many experiences could be told proving that it is worth while." Lowell Welch told an experience of finding a lady who had accepted the Sabbath through the book, "Bible Read- ings," and who desired more literature.
