W. Johnston in the Col- lege View church Sabbath morning. Quoting Paul, he said that Christians constitute the "Epistle of Christ, - the only book of the Bible that the average man of the world reads. Pastor Johnston called attention to the vastness of his subject, Jesus Christ. Briefly tracing through every book of the Bible, he showed how each one tells something about our Redeemer. He said, - Although Paul was a great preacher, he found enough in that one subject to preach all day on it." "Paul determined to 'know nothing, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.' However, the question is often asked, are not the standards of some of the other great moralists worthy of emulation? True, they advocated many good things, but Jesus alone stood for absolute in- tegrity. Such statements as these from some of the others show the level of their ideals: 'When a lie is profitable, let it be told,' and 'Good is more important than truth.' - Not only is Christ's moral standard higher, but in other respects He is far superior to Confucius, Buddha, and Mo- `ammed. Jesus is alive, but they have Ong been dead. The third, and perhaps the greatest difference is that Jesus is the only one who provides the means to at- tain to the ideals of morality and right living held up for humanity to reach. For these reasons the Christian will resul ve to 'know nothing, save Jesus Christ and Him crucified.' " NORTH HALL CLUB HAS DEBATE A quartet consisting of Clara Culver. Ferry] Garvin, Lillian Meyer, and Willie Dee Wilson presented the opening num- ber of the program of the North hall Young Women's club Wednesday. They sang "In a Little Old Garden," by Frank R. Grey. Following this was a debate on the question "Resolved: that the plan for ass'gning tables for one month is more desirable than the present system." The negative team, Marguerite Clark and Mildred Johnson, after some argument with their opponents, Viola Christianson and Mildred Haas, were named victors by the judges. Edna Gregerson gave the "Guess Who" article, using as her subject Mrs. Hilts. "Fashions in Slang" was the sub- ject discussed by Ruth Moore as the cur- rent event for the week, after which Bon- nie Velhagen gave the critic's report. The quotation for the week was, "He does good to himself who does good to his friends." "He came, he saw, he conquered!" This can as well be applied to Alva Phillips (A. K.) as to the Caesar who conquered the Gauls. There is truth in the proverb which says, "To become great, connect yourself with a worthy cause and give your whole life to it." When THE CLOCK TOWER campaign began and it was announced that the men were to be in competition with the women of the school, Mr. Phillips answered the call to take his place as commander-in- chief of the boys. The problems he had to solve were many. There were scores of obstacles which had to be overcome. There were many sleepless nights spent in working for the cause into which he had thrown his whole attention. There were days when the routine duties of school work and study had to be left behind while THE CLOCK TOWER was being spread to "When I consider what some books have done for the world, and what they are doing—how they keep up our hope, awaken new courage and faith, sooth pain, give an ideal to those whose hours SANDERSON SPEAKS Advantages of 'Review and Herald' Given in Chapel Wednesday - If there is one thing Satan wants to keep us from seeing, it is the progress of the message in the world," declared A. E. Sanderson, circulation promoter of the Review and Herald, in chapel Wednes- day. Reading from Matthew 24:14, he called attention to the rapid progress of the gospel as the one great sign of Christ's second advent. He reviewed briefly the advancement that has been made since the organization of the denomination in 1863, with a mem- bership of only thirty-five hundred, until the present time, when the conference workers alone number nineteen thousand, and the membership is approximately three hundred thousand. 'The speaker gave statistics showing that we are now working in one hundred thirty-six coun- tries and in three hundred fifty-three lan- guages, a new language being added every five and one-half days during the past year. He stated that The Review and Herald is God's newspaper instituted to keep His people informed concerning the progress of His work in the world. He pointed out that there is a danger of not recog- nizing the loud cry when it comes be- cause we have neglected the medium pro- vided to keep us informed. Pastor Sanderson stated that there are missionaries all over the world who are reporters for God's great newspaper, The Review and Herald, whose reports bring to us all the thrilling adventures as well as the encouraging successes of the mis- sion fields. He brought out that God's work will not close with any less mani- festations of His power than marked its beginning, so the need of keeping well informed is great. The speaker emphasized the fact that practically all workers come from homes where the Review is read, and that those who do not read the Review are likely to leave the truth sooner or later. _0 SABBATH SCHOOL IS CONDUCTED BY YOUNG WOMEN The Sabbath school program on No- vember 16 presented a unique and inter- esting contrast with those of preceding Sabbaths. It was given entirely by young women. An organ prelude by Miss Kiehnhoff was followed by the scripture reading by Eva Gaede. The review was in the form of a dialogue by Alice O'Neal, Rose Hutchison, and Lilah Baer. When everyone had returned to the chapel from the lesson study, a choir of sixteen young women sang, - Peace Be Still." Pearl Hartwell had charge of the mis- sion study, reading portions of letters from her brother, Raymond, a former student of Union, who is now a mission- ary in China. He wrote of the difficult language study, of the people's customs, and some of his own impressions. The secretary's report, prepared and read by Foe Cowin, was the account of a gathering, a weekly event for the stu- dents and teachers of Union college. A stringed trio played the last special num- ber, and after a moment of silent prayer, Sabbath school was dismissed. the far-flung boundaries of the world-wide field to which stretch Union's golden cords. Mr. Phillips proved himself a man among men, one to be respected and trusted by his fellows. He earned the whole-heated, active support of the men with whom he was associated and led them on to do their part in making pos- sibe the most successful CLocx TOWER campaign in the history of Union college. With a will to do, a head to contrive, and a hand to execute, he was tireless in his efforts for victory for his cause. If success is measured by effort, then it must be said that Mr. Phillips succeeded. He showed that he could lead with en- thusiasm and lose with sportsmanship. Even though he led a losing cause it is still true that he came, he saw, and he conquered, for even in defeat he justified the confidence pleated in him by the men who chose him as their leader. are cold and hard, bind together distant ages and foreign lands, create new worlds of beauty, bring down truth from Heaven --I give eternal blessings for this gift, and thank God for books-1. F. Clarke. Led by President Hoover, American business has marshalled its forces in an effort to revive American industry from recent market reverses. The Farm board plans a building program on large scale construction of grain warehouses and elevators, storages and handling facilities for other crops, and milk depots and packing plants. In line with the Presi- dent's proposal to insure continued busi- ness progress through the stimulation of constructive industry, the Federal Farm board made plans for widespread aid to agriculture in this field. -- — Chinese armies are again fighting. President Chiang Kai-Shek, generalis- simo of the nationalist armies, has launched a determined offensive in the neighborhood of Tengfeng, and reports from the Tengfeng region claim the Kuominchun, or revolting forces, have suffered heavy casualties. The general business situation, although naturally sensitive to the prolonged and severe stock market disturbance, has con- tinued to show encouraging stability. It is a gratifying reflection of the solid foundation upon which American industry is entrenched that business was so strong- ly fortified as to retain its orderliness dur- ing a period of extreme speculation. In spite of stock market losses, there will be an unprecedented amount of Christmas mail this year, the Postoffice department believes, and it has provided plenty of stamps to take care of it. The department h a s issued 4,000,000,000 stamps. They weigh 300 tons and if placed end to end would reach 63,131 miles. The American board of commissioners for Foreign missions has announced that the second cargo of 150,000 pounds of seed for north China to aid the famine- stricken farmers will be sent soon. The first shipment was sent in September. 0 00000000 -********* WORLD NEWS GIVEN House Reviews Conditions in Russia, China, and Other Nations "Russia is an awakened bear," stated Pastor House, speaking of the conditions in Russia at the present time, in his Fri- day chapel talk. "The old regime was overthrown by the Bolshevik with the optimistic idea that money should be taken from the rich and divided among the poor, which idea turned out to be an illusion, as the money was immediately squandered. "Another change came when Lenine died, for the new group thought that the idea of equal division of money would not work. Therefore they made three important changes, permitting private ownership of industries and retail estab- lishments and allowing the farmers to sell their own products. This new group of leaders are bringing money and men of ability and experience from other coun- tries to build up their industries and har- ness their natural resources. The main objection to the Soviet government is its atheism, which no doubt is caused by their disaffection toward the old Greek Catholic church. ''Another item of interest is the threat- ened war between Russia and China, caused by Soviet suspicion of Bolshvik work in China and a controversy over the transcontinental railroad. Since June, mobilization has been going on in both countries, though Germany has been at- Reports from virtually all flood effected points in Alabama show that streams were still rising from seven days of rain. The flood centered in the vicinity of Mobile, as well as in southeast Missis- sippi, with hundreds of families made homeless. Train service has also been disrupted. The sudden death of Richard Bethel has revived discussion of the superstition of a curse resting upon those who distrub the tombs of the Pharaohs. Bethel was secretary to Howard Carter, whose in- vestigations in Egypt disclosed the trea- sures of ancient Tutankhamen. His death is the tenth among persons concerned with the exploration of Pharaoh's sepul- chre. The supreme court of Finland has de- manded annulment of the prohibition law now in force in that country, maintaining the law has done much evil during the last ten years. The court demands as substitution for it a law based upon liquor restriction. Within five hours of his return from the United States aboard the liner Home- ric, Ambassador Charles G. Dawes took up with characteristic vigor his campaign for naval disarmament at almost the point where he left off when he sailed for the United States a few weeks ago. Speak- ing at a dinner in his honor, the American ambassador in clean cut fashion outlined five important points of the negotiations now being carried for the purpose of pro- ducing naval parity. Naval disarm- ament, according to Mr. Dawes, is the first and most important thing that must be effected before the nations start look- ing for other ways of bringing ultimate and lasting peace to the world. The final accords, he stated, would be reached only upon the basis of the approval of public opinion in the various countries con- cerned. 00 **** **it** tempting mediation and Russia's atten- tion has been called to her peace agree- ments, while maintaining an attitude of watchful waiting. "The efforts for world peace have taken an interesting turn since Andre Tardieu has taken Briand's place, because he has retained Briand in his cabinet. The new Young plan, which takes the place of the Dawes plan, will not be affected." In conclusion Pastor House stated, "Providence has always brought men to the front who believe in peace in spite of deep undercurrents of hate that will finally bring war." 0 YOUNGBERG SPEAKS ON INDIA AT REFORMATORY A lively song service, conducted by Walter Howe, was the opening feature of the meeting at the Men's reformatory Thursday night. Following prayer, Miss Kipp, accompanied by Ada Townsend, played three voilin solos: "The Holy City," "The Rosary," and "A Viennese Melody." Pastor Youngberg told of a few inter- esting customs of India and some of his personal observations. He said that the best roads of India are not nearly as good as our most neglected highways. He stated that the citizens of Bengal are kept in constant fear of the wrath of their gods. One of the interesting remarks which Paster Youngberg made was that there are many priests in India who could reproduce word for word the sacred book of the Hindus, should it be destroyed. FULL LIFE IN CHRIST Professor Schilling Gives Christocentric Doctrine of Paul's at Vespers "But the righteous shall live by faith," was the important portion of Professor H. K. Schilling's text in Romans 1:16, 17 at vesper service Friday night. He stated that there were two great realms of truth included in this short sen- tence, and to illustrate his point he read the scripture two ways: "Now by faith, shall the righteous live," and "Now by faith shall the righteous live. - - As I study the life of Christ," Profes- sor Schilling declared, "I am quite sure that Paul thought more about life than faith. The more I think about Paul, the more certain I am that he was the most misunderstood man that ever lived. "Paul was a great Christian because he was interested in the problems of life. I am sure that he tried to get across to the people's minds that it was possible to live through Jesus Christ. "For Paul, Christocentric meant to have Christ in the center of his life. Paul's letters were personal letters to tell what Jesus Christ was doing in his life. He was interested in telling what life meant to him since he had found Jesus. Paul taught that one's doctrine became truth after one had found Jesus. After all, the most important thing is that we should have lived these truths." To illustrate the sentence, "Now by faith shall the righteous live, - Professor Schilling said, "In Jesus Christ one first begins to find out what life really is. The only way to find the fulness of a happy life is in Christ. Do you love art, music, architecture? God can give you all you have longed for or hoped for. When you have become a Christian, you can be sure that you have got the best in life. Then is when you begin to appreciate life. - 0 PERSONAL WORK IS NECESSARY LEACH DECLARES "What can I do for some soul today?" is a question every Christian worker should ask himself, R. W. Leach told the members of the seminar Friday night. From John 1:40-41 he showed how An- drew was a personal worker. Christ also did much of his work through the per- sonal touch method, the speaker brought out, as he cited the experiences of the woman at the well, Zaccheus, and Nico- demus. He said that Satan realizes the value of the personal touch and tries to counter- feit it, and mentioned the experience of Solomon, who had a close walk with God in his early life but the personal influence of his heathen wives led him astray. The speaker read the following quota- tion from Mrs. E. G. White: "Preaching is to a great extent a failure if the preach- er fails to do personal work." In closing he said, "A little work well done is better than a large amount of work without results." Following the talk, the meeting was opened for discussion. 0 "Precious and priceless arc the bless- ings which books scatter around our daily paths. - An official report of the campaigns and pitched battles which took place on the territory five miles southwest of the city of Lincoln, October 7 to November 10, in the year nineteen hundred and twenty- nine is as follows: "Las Conquistadores, - under the com- mand of Major Burroughs, met the oppos- ing army of the "Knighthood of Union" with a crash which resounded in all the territory from which the troops were drawn. The companies, which were made up of loyal and pariotic citizens of various states, were all gathered under one ban- ner, "Victory for the Girls." They had a driving and compelling ambition to win; so victory was bound to be theirs. Fate had decreed it, precedent had foretold it, and good hard, faithful, loyal, and honest fighting won it. A grand rally resulted victoriously amidst the crashing din, deafening rally songs and cries, and rumors of myster- ious negotiations and flank attacks, made possible by the undercurrent of confidence which all felt in the super-leadership of the renowned Major Burroughs. In re- sponse to her stirring appeal and to the gallant aid of her co-workers, Adjutant THOMPSON HAS CHAPEL HOUR Price of high, Holy, and Noble Character Dependent on Same Motives in Living ----- VIGILANCE IS NEEDED Energies Tending to Draw Downward May be Sublimated Into Service For Needy Humanity "The price of character, like the price of liberty, is eternal vigilance," declared President P. L. Thompson in chapel Monday morning. "When you see some one whose living is such as you can admire and respect; be sure that that one pays a terrific price in self-abnegation and self-discipline, for by nature all of us have an overmastering tendency to do evil." The speaker called attention to the de- sire we all have to justify ourselves, even to minimize others. The process is known to psychologists as rationaliza- tion. "One of the most difficult things to do," he said, "is to look oneself straight in the eye. We always find some excuse, and rationalize our own action. The fool says, 'It was only in fun.' The liar says, 'It was only an eva- sion, not a real lie.' "That is where the greatest danger lies. Sin is not only exceedingly sinful, but exceedingly deceitful. There are those who would have us look at the smooth side of sin, and subdivide it and say that certain divisions are respectable. But when one rationalizes one phase of sin. before he knows it he has slipped into the next. And when he reaches the very bottom, he is still justifying him- self. "There are many today who are at- tempting to make sin dignified, to make indecencies appear decent. Nevertheless a true man knows there are things he ought not to do because he is a man, and tho fact th.at p,rn.dor popular practice rule otherwise makes no difference to him. The world has always been held up by those who had the cour- age to fight against the tide. In a day like this, our schools should be a haven of protection from the subtle winds which are tainting the whole atmosphere of the world around us. "A high, holy, and noble method of living is essentially dependent upon a high, holy, and noble motive. The desire for self-respect is the greatest mainspring of good living. Admirable living is never the result of the absence of temptation. Do not think, when you hear a minister speak of sin, that he doesn't know the taste of sin; he does. You are not the only one in whose nature there is an overwhelming current of evil to be stemmed; every man you meet has the same problems to face. "However, the very forces and ener- gies which tend to draw us downward may be turned into right channels and used for the service of humanity. The very energies which, when uncontrolled, mean the destruction of the soul may be- come a power for good when directed by noble motives." Rees and the formidable squad who bunk in North hall barracks, they were able to storm the trenches, capture the main supply base, and snatch victory from the very hands of the gallant foe. Especial mention should be made of the violent attack of the sturdy regiment from the southwest. May we liken the success of our able general to the wonderful accomplishments of Joan D'Arc? Did we not have a re- vival of our college spirit and did she not instill in us the enthusiasm and ambition which meant unquestioned victory to her loyal troops? Scribes of the event have noted and have written, as a historical fact of the siege, that the resources of time conquerors were exhausted; and had it not been for the reserves which appeared on the right flank just at the crucial moment, at the stroke of eight, when the war must cease, the chronicles of this college might have read differently. The victors were hard put, and the bravery and continued as- sault of the opposing forces could not have been withstood much longer. Be it known that the girls are as proud of their noble enemies and of their nearly successful efforts as they are of their own victory.

SOUTHWESTERN GIRLS' ISSUE This issue of THE CLOCK TOWER is dedicated to the Southwestern union girls, who obtained more subscriptions than any state group in the recent campaign. The staff is proud of our Southwestern girls and of their loyal co-operation in making the campaign a success. We are glad that we have such a splendid representation of not only girls but boys from Southwestern Junior college. We appreciate their spirit, their enthusiasm, and their willing helpfulness.—M. 0 DO YOU SIT IN THE SEAT OF THE SCORNFUL? David it was who said, "Blessed is the man who sitteth not in the seat of the scornful." Now there are many kinds of seats, big and little, broad and narrow, round and square. But the scornful seat which David referred to has become synonomous with odium of one kind or another. Some one has called the seat of the scornful the back seat in a congregation. The seat of the scornful may be a chapel seat the second row from the front, or more often, the second row from the back. But there are many such seats ( as I observed the other morning in chapel) whose occupants really occupy, even during song service and other chapel exercises. Let us honor our seats and thereby our- selves.—M. O THE SPIRIT OF SACRIFICE There is nothing greater than sacrifice and the spirit that prompts that sacrifice. Records of lives are brightened by the sacrifices made for the devotion cherished for others. Warriors have accounted it a privilege to sacrifice themselves in the surge of battle for their loved ones and country. Mrs. Bixby, who gave her five sons in the Civil War, received this message of consolation from Abraham Lincoln: "I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement and leave you only the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice on the altar of freedom." Men in all countries and environments have unhesitatingly laid down the precious heritage of life that someone else might continue to enjoy it. Jesus has even told us that this is the greatest sacrifice. But how infinitely greater was Christ's sacrifice for all humanity. "What a theme for meditation is the sacrifice that Jesus made for lost sinners!" ( G. C. p. 316.) In return for this inestimable gift let us give as much as possible during the week of sacrifice to hasten His kingdom on this earth.—M.

POWELL If one is looking for variety, the South- west is the place to go. Here he will find the white man, the red man, the negro, and the Mexican. One does not need to cross the ocean to find those who still have superstitious ideas about religion, for many here in America do not know the way of Christian living. The Navajo Indians have many sacred traditions. Their work is primitive, such as molding of pottery and weaving, which is a phase of their life interesting to the student doing research work in American history. Farther north the full-blooded Indians may be found. The Osages are especial- ly prominent in this section and are per- haps the wealthiest group. The Indian braves still wear their hair in long braids and wear buckskin moccasins instead of shoes, and the Indian sqaws still carry their papooses on their backs. In the extreme south, bordering on foreign ter- ritory, an interpreter is almost necessary. The negro of the section is making progress along educational lines that should be an inspiration to his white brother. The white men may be classed among the most enthusiastic and progres- sive people of the world. These people are the sons and daughters of those who were seeking freedom and who made it possible for the inhabitants of the South- west to say, "I'm from the Southwest, the garden spot of the world." Helpfulness Is Success Did you ever hear an old dilapidated Ford? You heard it long before you saw it, and then what a sight met your eyes! It consisted of more noise than car. Con- trast with this picture a beautiful Buick gliding smoothly along, needing nothing to herald its approach, for its merits are in evidence at the first glance. Southwestern Union girls sounded their warning when they sang: "Southwestern Union girls are working; Boys beware, do beware. - Nothing more spectacular was done because the girls were too busy writing letters and turning in "subs" to their leader, the final results being an excellent example of the spirit of co-operation that prompted the writing of each enthusiastic letter. Their slogan was not "I'll try," but "I will." To give this famous motto a more modern tone, three definite things were combined: the slogan provided the incentive, THE CLOCK TOWER staff provided the station- ery, and the college pep song did the rest. That is why THE CLOCK TOWER IS truly our school paper. -0- Mop Thoughts A SOUTHWESTERN GIRL "Oh dear! what a dreary old dust closet this is," sighed the broom as it was rudely slammed into its accustomed cor- ner. "I do wish people would learn to hang me up. Why, I'm going to be an old worn out broom soon if they don't. - - Hello there!" said the oil mop. "I've been having a lovely time. Don't you think that Friday afternoon is the most interesting time of the whole week. I just love to help the girls clean their rooms; they are always so happy and cheerful." "I'd rather work than to stand in this dark corner all day too," answered the broom, "but—well, I prefer keeping my- self clean and new to getting down and scrubbing up dirt. Just look at me, and only a short time ago I was new. I have been miserably mistreated—thrown around on the floor and stood on my bristles until they are getting all warped and crooked. Oh- - "I know. I haven't been treated ex- actly right all the time either. Just yes- terday a girl squeezed me in behind a radiator to get some dirt. It was so tight I could hardly breathe, but I tell you I brought out every speck of dust. That floor was shining when I got through. I just finished cleaning the hall and you should see it; it is immaculate. I enjoy getting down into the cracks and grabbing those little pieces of dust that are always trying to hide from me." "Oh—well—but—" At this point a shrill voice interrupted: "Hurry up with that mop, Elaine, we are going to be late." 0 "God never tempts us, but he does try ••••••••••••••••••••••••••• "It Pays to Look Well' •• • THE DAVENPORT BARBER SHOP • 941 L Street College View, Nebr. • Stickel HAM DRESS BT. 1894 7 LLE LOR — AND .— CLEANER S F.2117.

For do not those who are already in foreign lands send back messages telling of the many unexpected needs for a trained car- penter or a trained mechanic? Possibly in some other line duty may fall upon them. Then it is that they regret that they neglected a more practical education. Therefore I believe that the wise young man or young woman will take at least one vocational subject. - FREDA MYRTLE FULLERTON: Did you ever hear a person advise a student to finish college as soon as possible and take as few vocational subjects as he could? Suppose you follow a missionary to a mission field and see how many different vocational subjects he puts into use. Or go with a homeland worker and see that those who make a real success in life are those who have an all around education. Therefore, I think vocational subjects should be required for the benefit of those who would not otherwise get them. WILMA LESLIE: There are very few who really know how to do such things as sewing, cooking, and typewriting, or anything along the vocational line in the proper way. What would these people do if they lost their jobs, or were sent to a mission field? They would be helpless. That is why I think a student should take a vocational subject while in school. Southwestern Girls Show Enthusiasm BY VERD NELL RICE Words by Abbie Dunn Tune - Dixie" Southwestern Union girls are working; We shall ne'er be found a-shirking— So beware, yes beware. Old Uncle Sam is on our side, Hurrah, hurrah; He takes our letters far and wide, TO help us win THE CLOCK TOWER Campaign, Campaign. Our band shall not be losers. The words of our campaign song in- spired the girls of the Southwest to ear- nest and diligent work getting subs. Un- tiring effort and enduring enthusiasm were the things that put the Southwestern girls in the lead. That noble spirit of loyalty which every student of Union college should possess is inborn in the girls that come to Union from the great Southland. Nine of the fifteen girls in this group are in Union this year for their first time, proving that it doesn't take long to be a "Llnionite with all your might." These girls did not lose their spirit throughout the entire campaign. It is true that Southern people are sometimes charged with being slow of action, but we kept on the job and plodded along until the very last minute and, like the tortoise, came out ahead. The cooperation shown by this group of girls was commendable. Every girl was anxious to do her part and none was found shirking. We believed as did Gladstone, that one example is worth a thousand arguments; so we tried to set an example worth fol- lowing. Abbie Dunn led in the number of sub- scriptions received. Although none of this group received a weekly or grand prize, we say that "our reward is in the race we run—not in the prize"! The following girls are in this group: Verd Nell Rice (leader), Freda Myrtle Fullerton, Lois Hopkins, Ola Powell, Maud Reid, Leola Castle, Marie Toews, Lennie Gepford, Eva Gaede, Abbie Dunn, Elizabeth Lothian, Jeanette Franks, Wil- ma Leslie, and Willie Dee Wilson. A Teacher's Alibi BY EDITH MARTIN One day my brother, who was very proud of the fact that he could drive a team and work in the fields, informed me that all I could do was carry in cobs for the kitchen stove, and that I wasn't worth my salt. I indignantly replied that I was worth a million dollars. This answer amused him very much, and he continued by saying that I couldn't produce fifteen cents, much less a million dollars. Anxious to prove my po'oit I hislatL-d that w‘..• let the decision rest with our father. We ran to father and I said, "You wouldn't sell me for a million dollars, would you?" He didn't seem to grasp the situation until brother explained, and then he assured me that his little daughter was worth more than a million dollars to him, that he wouldn't sell her at any price. I have been asked what teaching means to me. My brother would say, "It has been the means whereby you have finally succeeded in earning your salt." But is that all that teaching means to me? I think not. It has become dear to me by long association. First, I taught my paper and spool dolls; when they proved too lifeless, I dressed my kittens in doll clothes and they were very satisfactory pupils indeed. A little later my brothers and schoolmates were the victims of my endeavors, and finally I was intrusted with a real school. I have been teaching ever since. Teaching gives me an excuse for spending much time with my book com- panions; it gives me opportunity for bear- ing responsibilities, and furnishes an in- teresting field for the study of human nature. Its opportunities for travel are unlimited, as we have not yet learned to hire our teachers for a period of several years. The association with other teach- ers is invaluable. They make the best of friends, and are especially interesting when you learn to know them outside of the class room. Yet none of these things can compare with another privilege which teaching gives, that is friendship with the child. Friendship creates in the teacher a willingness to give all in an effort to assist the child in his solution of life's problems. Teaching, therefore, means much more than a livelihood to me; it means an active, happy life with the association I prize, and I would not exchange those privileges for anything—not even a "mil- lion dollars." Have you heard that The pecan shop recently sold fourteen barrels of pecans to one man? The girls' benefit program is coming soon? Most of the girls have very little spend- ing money since THE CLOCK TOWER campaign closed? When College View needs rain, the faculty announces a hike? Because of the recent snow several of the students received a very vigorous face-washing? The Clock Tower through this column at- tempts to give students an opportunity to express their opinions on subjects of general interest and improvement to the college. Those answering are picked at random. QUESTION Why should a student take vocational subjects in college? ANSWERS MARIE ToEws: What would you think of a person who went to the mission field and could not teach the natives anything but reading and writing? You would say, "That man or woman is a failure." What would he do for furniture if he could not make any, or how could he add some comfort if he could not do common things? Then, too, if he had a position here and all he could do was tend to that job, what would he do if he lost that job? I can almost hear you say, "Starve." That is why I think students should take vocational subjects. 0- LEOLA CASTLE: There are several reasons why I think each student should take at least one vocational subject in college. The vocational training makes a college education more practical, and the student leaves his college better prepared for the stern realities of life. There are schools in our denomination needing trained men and women to head their vo- cational departments as instructors, and what better place is there to be fitted for such a place than in college? Then a large majority in college are training themselves REFLECTIONS BY ABBIE DUNN Go with me to the Southland, To the land where the flowers bloom, WI.2re ti breezes blow so soft and low, Where sunshine disperses the gloom. A h, that is the home of contentment; Never mind wealth or luxury fair. These would only foster resentment, Since treasures far greater are there. But we've time here no longer to tarry; We must haste to the great Westernland. There we find winds sufficient to carry The soil, forming large dunes of sand. The abode of the great buoyant spirit Is found in that country so rare; 'Tis a region deserving of merit, With its spacious fields naught can com- pare. Since the land of contentment's united With the great buoyant land of the West, You may know that this union has buried All despondence and sighs from the breast. E'en the girls from the Southwestern union Have imbibed the true spirit there found; So 'tis only a natural conclusion That they the same spirit resound. With the grand opportunity given Through the launch of THE CLOCK TOWER Campaign, By the ardor of hope they were driven To labor their best—might and main. Though none of their group won the prizes. Yet the land as a whole took the lead, And each who has worked realizes The blessing in being agreed. Now THE CLOCK TOWER CAMPAIGN being over, They pause long enough from their work To thank Uncle Sam who expended His powers, never halting to shirk. He hastened their letters to carry Back and forth, bringing subs' by the score, Making Southwestern Union girls merry; So they thank Uncle Sam o'er and o'er. —0- -The greatest of faults is to be con- scious of none." "Even the weakest man is strong enough to enforce his convictions." Women Medics BY E. GAEDE Why do women want to study medi- cine? Then may I ask, Why should they not want to? Many people think it is not a woman's place to be a doctor. Her place is in the home. This may all be true, but we have come to the day and age when a woman is capable of filling almost any place a man has ever filled in the business world. An article in the Chicago paper not many months ago spoke of a woman who upon the death of her husband carried on his work with the same efficiency. He had been a steeple jack. The company at first was a little fearful at employing her, but she soon proved herself so dar- ing and faithful that her work was in great demand. Of course you say that this is just an outstanding incident, nevertheless, i t shows that women are capable. In some cities there are women taxi-cab drivers, street car conductors, senators, and some day there will be women in the president's cabinet. In many of the larger hospitals of to- day, lady doctors stand at the head, since they are as able to give just as reliable medical aid, counsel, and advice as men. At the outset, people were afraid to place their confidence in women, but having proved their capabilities, they are grow- ing in demand. Some hospitals are re- quired to keep lady physicians on their staffs, as some of their patients demand medical attention from women doctors only. Even though women are capable along this line, some contend that it is putting the cart before the horse. If the woman is the doctor and her husband is not, then he must follow her around to wherever she can find employment. To this it may be said that he is a weak-spined husband who will be led around by his wife. In the first place let them work together, and if he is at all capable there will be an equal demand for both, whether he be minister, bookkeeper, or teacher. There is a great demand for lady doc- tors in India and China; also many labo- ratories are calling for them. Girls, do not stand back! The future is a bright one. The time is soon coming when our schools will be closed and our teachers unable to find employment, but the medi- cal work will continue through to the end. It will be one of God's last saving de- vices. We have a set of twins in school this year? The senior premedic boys arc taking good care of their mustaches? Some of the students are already count- ing the day until Thanksgiving vaca- tion? The Union College laundry will wash a quilt free of charge, but a charge of two cents Is made for the washing of a handkerchief? Weather strips are being placed on all the windows in the college building? The storm doors have been put on the front entrance of North hall? —FONDA CAMPBELL.

A special group at GOLD'S—Third Choose From this Group of BEAUTIFULLY TRIMMED WINTER COATS ra L d THE CLOCK TOWER A BY ALICE O'NEAL The idea of what constitutes a good preacher is confused in many minds. Some persons measure him by the quality of the clothin g he wears, by the kind of house in which he lives, by the make of automobile he drives, or by the amount of money he possesses and the way in which he spends it. In truth, while a person may be rich, well dressed and liberal, none of these things gives him any ri ght to be acknowl- ed ged as a preacher. To qualify as a preacher two thin gs are necessary. The first of these is good character; the second, sensible as well as agreeable behavior. Neither of these two qualifications can exist alone; each is de- pendent to some extent upon the other. Furthermore, neither can be considered a definite quantity; for opinions are sure to differ in this matter, and because of this, I shall discuss each separately in order to explain the si gnificance that is to be at- tached to each term. I choose to discuss character in the light of its manifestations toward others ad its effect upon the individual him- A good character may be shown throu gh one's dealin gs with others by re- vealing the honesty, generosity, courage, fairmindedness, and other qualities of the individual. The saying, "Actions speak louder than words, - is often repeated and it is no doubt fre quently true. If a man connot manifest a good character though his dealing with others, it is scarcely possible that he would make good timber for a preacher. The virtues of a person possessing a good character are many times known only to a few people. However, they have a decided influence upon him, and sometimes cause him to retain confidence in himself when others fail to trust him. Often when others cannot tell what is happening in his mind he is fully con- scious of a sense of integrity and has no doubt as to how he will meet any condi- tion that faces him. Perhaps the expres- sion found in the Bible, "As a man thinketh in his heart so he is," would apply here. To say that behavior should be both sensible and agreeable in private or home life may seem rather confusing; but it is possible to have it so. From day to day, a man shows little deeds of kindness and affection to hi., family, he is marked, in my mind, as a true gentleman. He takes a lively interest in any activity of the family and in this way shows that he is concerned about the happiness of others. He loves his family more than the most brilliant public career. The behavior of a preacher toward others is of no small si gnificance. If he is kind to, and concerned about, his own Nu-Day Boards Mr. A. G. Ortner, manager of the Union College carpenter chop, has re- ceived word that the "Nu-Day" cabinet ironing board was issued patent rights by the United States patent office at Washington City. This new ironing board will be manu- factured by the college carpenter shop. It has a sliding end hinge at the back of the board and a revolving under hinge, having no projecting parts for clothes to hook on. These features make it the most satisfactory cabinet board on the market today. It is being installed in many of Lincoln's new apartments. The college carpenter shop employs ten students. Four gross of the table style boards have just been finished and seven gross of red kindergarten chairs are being made for the Christmas trade in Lincoln and Omaha. people, he will also be considerate o others. In short, if he is all that he should be in his relationship with his rela- tives, he is likely to act that part in the pulpit. The man who is kind and gentle; who is truthful and upright; who needs no bonds to hold him to his promises; who is clean of mind, honest of purpose, pure of heart, and an observer of the golden rule—he is the preacher I admire, whether he be dressed in tailor-made suit or over- alls; yes, and though he be too poor to own a roof to cover his head. It is not what we have, but what we are and what we do that counts. BY ERNEST HANSON There are many different types of preachers. In this brief discussion, I shall try to give my reasons for admir- ing certain types more than others. I admire the kind of preacher who has a definite message to give, and who gives that in a forceful, emphatic mariner. He knows, before speaking, what the essence of his talk is, and he is anxious that others shall see it as he does. With such a conviction, his talk will be effective. He will lead his audience to see what he sees, and think along the same line of thought as he is thinking. He begins and finishes his discourse on time, for unless he does this his talk will not be effective, I admire the preacher who enjoys mix- ing with the people and becoming ac- quainted with them. He makes use of every opportunity that comes to him by which he may be a help to some one. The right word spoken at the right time may have far-reaching results. Some person may be going through a severe struggle, trying to decide what course to pursue in life, and a word fitly spoken to such a one may mean the saving of a life for usefulness in this world, and greater use- fulness in the world to come. The preach- er who realizes that his duty does not consist of preaching only, greatly in- creases his usefulness. The greatest Preacher that ever lived often spoke to the one-soul audience. Why should not preachers of today do likewise? I admire the preacher who lives what he preaches. If he fails to do this, his influence for good is largely destroyed. People will lose confidence in him, as well as in what he preaches. I am referring now not to occasional mistakes, but to the trend of the life. Every person makes mistakes. These must be forgotten. It does no good to look for faults in the preacher. He has them, but there can be no doubt that his good qualities far out- number his faults. Guess Who? BY EDNA GREGERSON Our worthy faculty member was born a number of years ago in Madison, Wis- consin. The first few years of her life were spent on a farm near Madison. This farm was fortunate in having a creek running through it. Our heroine's favor- ite diversion was standing on the bridge and throwing stones at the mud turtles or hunting through the hills for hermits' nests. At the age of nine she moved with her parents to College View. Here she at- tended the church school, which was known as the "model" school and which met on the first floor of the college build- ing. She graduated from the Union col- lege academy and finished a course in oratory at Union college. She held responsible positions on the Messenger staff, and was also the first editor-in- chief of THE CLOCK TOWER. Her next position was publicity agent for the Ne- braska State Highway department. Arlington, California, was the scene of her next activity. Here she taught Eng- lish and expression, living the part of a pioneer, studying by candle light for some time, and having chapel in the basement on a dirt floor. During the last year in California she did the most in- teresting work of her life thus far. She was receiving clerk in the denomination's largest hospital. It was her duty to meet all the new patients and listen to a recital of their ills and woes. She met her husband at Union college. He was editor-in-chief of the Messenger and she was assistant editor. They were married in 1925. In 1928 she graduated from Union college and is now one of the members of the faculty. 0 I have to live with myself, and so I want to be fit for myself to know. I want to be able, as days go by, Always to look myself straight in the eye. I don t want to stand with the setting sun, And hate myself for the things I've done. I never can hide myself from me; I see what others may never see. I know what others may never know; I never can fool myself, and so, Whatever happens I want to be Self-respecting and conscience-free. —Selected. Need of Commercial Training Stressed BY T. R. LARIMORE The rapid expansion of business in re- cent years has placed on the colleges and universities the duty of giving students systematic preparation for a business career. This training in the analysis and interpretation of business experience and practice not only should materially shorten the usual apprenticeship period, but should qualify the student for more rapid promotion to positions of larger responsibility. The purpose of this training is not to displace practical experience, but to sup- plement and strengthen it. Its object is to provide for students preparing for busi- ness, or similar lines of work, vocational training suited to their needs. Instruction in business science has long since passed the experimental stage. It has been amply proved that young men who take such courses master the details of business more quickly than they other- wise could. Everywhere business men are demanding a higher standard of train- ing in the young men whom they employ. In fact, it is hard to mention any field of business activity in which the demand for efficient service does not far exceed the supply. Business has become a profession which demands the same degree of inten- sive training as law and medicine. American economic life is a field for the expert, and colle ges arc giving more at- tention to the problems of practical achievement. It is no expectation on the part of the Commercial department that its graduates will at once be able to assume important administrative positions. It is the belief, however, that a college training of the kind here proposed will shorten his ap- prenticeship so that at the end of a few years he will be farther advanced in his line of work and have a more compre- hensive outlook over the whole field of business activity than he otherwise would have. The course is not designed to give students a "short cut" to business posi- tions. It is intended to prepare students to become business executives and at the same time furnish cultural background and sound ethical thinking. Ju te 9..a 1.1d ue j (From the Messenger of Nov., 1907) Elder E. T. Russell occupied the chapel hour Friday morning. He talked of the progress our work is making not only in America but also in the foreign fields. Professor L. L. Caviness spent Thanks- giving with his uncle at Fairbury, Ne- braska.

There must be a short in the circuit somewhere. Guess I'll have some one from the power-house look the situation over." Some people may smile at the idea of a short circuit in a lamp burning out a bulb, yet I feel safe in saying that I hear this short circuit story between twenty- five and thirty times a year. About a year ago a lady called me on the telephone and told me that something was wrong with the wiring in her home. I inquired as to the nature of the trouble. She informed me that she had burned out about fifty bulbs in the previous six months. I inspected the wiring in her home and found that the voltage installed in her home was too high. As accurately as I can ascertain there are only two reasons why a bulb burns out. The first reason is that the bulb naturally deteriorates or wears out. The second and more common reason is that the voltage runs too high. To explain further what I mean, let me first ask a question. Did you ever notice that every bulb has a stamp or trademark on it? Usually this trademark is on the large end of the bulb, close to the center. The number of watts and volts is given with this trademark. When the bulb is marked 115 V. it is made to operate on a 115 volt circuit; should the voltage be less than 115 V. the light becomes dim. Con- tariwise, should the voltage be higher, the light becomes brighter. But there is a limit above which the bulb will burn out. Usually bulbs marked 115 V. will stand 125 V. for a short time, but this increased voltage shortens the life of the bulb. A hard jar will put a bulb out of com- mission, but the filament is broken and does not burn out. This is the most com- mon cause of bulbs refusing to work. In 1913 the lamps were installed in the chapel. To my knowledge only the two center front ones have been changed. These two lights are 200 watt lamps while the others are 150 watt. -- o— Feel glum?—Keep mum. Don't grumble—Be Humble. Trials cling—Just sing. Can't sing—Just cling. Don't fear—God's near.

Many people think that the Home Economics course deals only with sewing and cooking, but this is not true. There are many branches to the course. For several years Union col- lege had just the two-year course, but now one can take a four-year course and have Home Economics for a major. In the first year the main subjects taught are food study, textiles and cloth- ing, interior decorating, home nursing, chemistry, and teaching process. In the study of foods we learn how the differ- ent foods are grown and how to prepare them. We not only study this but put it into actual practice. In textiles and clothing we learn the different weaves of materials, where they are manufactured, and how we can distinguish the genuine from the substitute. The second year is a continuation of the first year, although the subjects come under different names. Housewifery gives practical experience. For six weeks we keep house in our Home Economics rooms in North hall, each girl having the experience of being cook, housewife, and maid. Thus we learn to be economical in buying our foods as well as to prepare what is best for the needs of our body. Dietetics is the continuation of home nursing, but deals particularly with the care of the sick. Institutional cookery is an especially good course for one plan- ning to work as a matron. One gets practical experience in working in the laundry, bakery, and kitchen. I feel that I can answer yes to this question, because of the benefits I have derived from the two-year Home Eco- nomics course. Students have you heard the news that's going around?

PFEILER SPEAKS Says Faith in Life is Valueless Unless Driving Force Toward Beautiful 0- At the meeting of the young men's club Thursday evening Dr. Wilhelm Pfeiler, a University of Nebraska faculty member, presented the topic of "Faith in Life." Dr. Pfeiler's theme sentence was "The best preparation for life is to live. - He said, - Many times we are prone to be too deeply concerned with the future and its veiled mysteries and in our interest in that which is to come, and we forget to live our best during the present. - This method of living was branded by Doctor Pfeiler as a great mistake. He continued, "Life and God are iden- tical and it behooves each individual to live the principles of Christ not for re- wards, but because of the profound re- spect they give one in life. Christ is the Giver of life, and during His ministry on this earth His main burden was in giving life; and He gave it because He had faith in it. He recognized that the one thing necessary for life is faith. - However, faith alone will avail us nothing unless it has some dynamic force in our life, a force which will continually drive us to that which is beautiful and wholesome. We must believe that God has given us our life for a definite pur- pose and that He will increase our faith by guiding and directing us toward that purpose." In concluding his remarks Dr. Pfeiler said, "We should not become discouraged by the obstacles which Satan places in our various paths, because the evil one plays only the role which God allows him. These mordant experiences serve as stimuli in increasing our faith in life. - PENNY-WISE AFTER AUCTION AT NORTH HALL "Who'll give me a penny for this?" asked Miss Rees, holding up a gingham dress. "Oh, that's mine," gasped one of the girls. "All right, pay Miss Wiest a penny after worship and you can have it. Whose soap flakes? And here's a box with some tar soap and some more soap," Miss Rees continued. Little gales of laughter swept over the group in the parlor every few seconds as Miss Rees held up some article and some- one frantically waved a hand and claimed it. There were heaps of things—every- thing from a clothespin to a throat pro- tector. One by one Miss Rees drew them from the immense pile by her side and let the owner redeem them, or sold the unclaimed ones for a penny, all of which was to go on the washroom fund. Judging from the facial reaction of the guilty, we venture that possibly there may not be so many things left in the washroom hereafter. That is the secret of the four bushels of clothes on the parlor floor in worship Thursday evening. This evening is gen- erally devoted to self-improvement, any- how. WENTLAND HOLDS MEETINGS AT FAIRBURY R. Willard Wentland, a member of the Seminar, spoke at the Fairbury church Sabbath on "The Second Coming of Christ." Mr. Wentland spoke from Matthew 24:14, which says, "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations and then shall the end come." "To my mind," he said, "this verse is one of the most important ones of this chapter. The one great thing to be done before Jesus comes is the carrying of the gospel to the world. "But I believe that we arc held re- sponsible for preparing people to be ready for the close of probation more than for the second advent of Jesus. I am not so much interested in the second coming of Christ as I am interested in the close of probation." In emphasizing the need of a prepara- tion for the work of preparing people for the close of probation and the second coming of Christ, Mr. Wentland said, "We should plan as though we have a thousand years in which to work, and we should live as though He were coming tomorrow. We should not neglect the duty of getting the best possible prepara- tion for work. - Mr. Wentland has been holding a series of meetings with the Fairbury church, assisted by Paul Bringle. THINKING "If you think you are beaten, you are; If you think you dare not, you don't. If you'd like to win, but you think you can't, It's almost sure that you won't. If you think you'll lose, your'rc lost, For out in the world we find, Success begins with a fellow's will; It's all in the state of the mind. If you think you're outclassed, you are; You've got to think high to rise; You've got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win a prize. Life's battles don't always go To the stronger or faster man; But soon or late the man who wins Is the one who thinks he can." —WALTER D. WINTLE. STUDENTS SEE FILM Four Educational Reels Shown in College Chapel Saturday Evening An educational film of four reels was shown in the college chapel Saturday night, presenting - The Forests of the Northwest,'' "Liquid Air," "The Panama Canal," and "King of the Rails." The first film showed the clearing of the giant trees in the forest, and the method of conveying them to the saw mills. The process of grading and saw- ing the different kinds of lumber without the touch of human hands was pictured. The making of liquid air by reducing air to 3,000 pounds pressure per square inch and lowering the temperature to 200 degrees F. below zero was shown. Many interesting experiments were pic- tured. The history of the construction of the Panama Canal from the time that Theo- dore Roosevelt, made his speeches advo- cating it until the last obstacle of nature was overcome and the first boat went through the canal, was given. "The King of the Rails" showed the progress of methods of transportation, beginning with the Indians who carried their burdens on their backs. The use of the stone boat, ox cart, prairie schoon- er, pony express, street car, and steam locomotive was shown. Finally, the con- struction of the modern electric train and its superiority over the old locomotive was presented. ANNIVERSARY SURPRISE PARTY FOR LORENZS Friends of Mr. and Mrs. Felix Lorenz were entertained at a surprise party given in honor of their eleventh wedding anni- versary by Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Cornell Sunday evening. The guests upon arrival were given money in the form of beans, after which they proceeded to the basement where a carnival was in progress. Prizes of whistles, pencils, and the like were given to the winners in various contests. Mr. Banik, as the majic man, amused the visitors with tricks. After the guests had spent their money, they went upstairs where refreshments were served. In a poem written by Mrs. Cornell, Mr. and Mrs. Lorenz were directed to a box of sawdust which contained a set of amber-colored goblets. Those present were: Messers and Mes- dames D. G.
