Weekly Review of World Affairs  
BY HAROLD LINCOLN  PRESENTS LIFE  
OF SCOTCH POET  
Doctor Walter Aiken Appears As  
Lecturer for Second Number  
Of Lyceum Course  
INTERPRETS WORKS  
Study of Robert Burns Shows Ideals He  
Expressed Higher Than Those He  
Reached in Life  
"He is Scotland condensed into one  
personality, -  said Dr. Walter Aiken in  
his lecture on Robert Burns, given Satur- 
day evening in the college chapel.  
There is an old fable of a nightingale  
which was competing with a lute, to deter- 
mine which could make more beautiful 
music. The nightingale, overtaxing its  
strength in producing the more lovely  
music, fell dead by the lute. But its life  
was not sacrificed in vain, for the melody  
of its song passed into the lute, and so  
blessed the world. Robert Burns was  
compared to the nightingale by the speak- 
er, for although crushed by poverty, yet  
his melody has passed on to humanity,  
and he is "deep in the heart of man,"  
said Dr. Aiken. The expression "idol of  
the world" applies more fitly to Burns 
than to Scott, to whom it has been ap- 
plied, he said. Dr. Aiken calls him "the  
greatest soul born in the British empire in  
his age."  
"In order to understand Burns, one  
must know the circumstances of his life  
—the poverty, the struggle. In him are  
found 'the stifled complaint, the amorous  
ditty, and the riotious shout.' At the per- 
iod when he lived, the spirit lay dead  
under the letter of the law. Everyone  
drank, and it was not like Burns to critic- 
ize their action. He tried to conquer him- 
self, but society and the church did  
not help hini. He prayed, but his phil- 
osophy of prayer, that of the times, was

The Influence of  
Old South Hall  
Is Inspirational  
By CLINTON VON POHLE  
"There's a place I know where the cot- 
tonwoods grow,  
And I always long to be;  
At the finest school of the golden rule,  
And it seems like home to me.  
It is simply grand just to shake the  
hand  
Of each friend I used to know;  
And I'm really proud of our South hall  
crowd,  
And I want the world to know."  
Old South hall! What memories it  
brings back to all who have ever lived  
there! It has been Home to many young 
men the past few years. It has cheered 
many a lonely lad who was away from  
home for the first time. Do they feel that  
it has been a  real  home to them during  
the years they have spent within its walls?  
Can they truly say that it has had an in- 
fluence upon their lives that tended to  
make them nobler young men and bet-- 
ter fitted for their life's work of carrying  
this great message?  
One's surroundings have an influence on  
one's life whether he is conscious of the  
fact of not. The young men of South hall  
are continually surrounded with an up- 
lifting, spiritual atmosphere. They are  
urged to help in keeping these surround- 
ings what they are, for it is the ones  
who live in the dormitory that make it  
what it is.  
Once a week the whole of the evening  
worship period is devoted to prayer  
bands, where a study is made of spiritual  
topics, and a chance is given to become  
closer acquainted with God through  
prayer. At the first of the year a small  
band was organized among a few of the 
boys, who would meet before worship in  
the morning and have a few minutes to- 
gether. But this band soon grew so in  
size that it was found necessary to divide  
it, and these divisions soon redivided. In- 
terest in these bands was aroused to such  
an extent that a whole worship period  
was given to them each week. It is now  
the aim of these bands that every student  
in South hall will be made to feel the need  
of a closer communion with the Lord. and  
will attend one of these bands. Every  
member is doing his part to bring other  
students to these band meetings.  
This year the plan of having the young  
men speak in morning worship has been  
followed. They take some topic which  
they feel will be a help to their fellow  
students, and give a short talk on that  
subject, emphasizing the points that will  
establish closer spiritual contacts among  
the boys.

Twenty-seven deaths  in  southern Italy  
were laid to storms which demoralized  
shipping and did considerable damage  
inland during the last five days.  
Mahatma Gandhi and the viceroy of  
India, Lord Irwin, having a long confer- 
ence February 26, failed to agree on a  
vital point of the pending peace negotia- 
tions.  
With at least 250 persons, including  
five Europeans, dead, the Fiji Islands  
turned to the task of caring for the  
hundreds of injured and thousands left 
homeless by a terrific hurricane which  
raged for more than twenty-four hours  
February 21 and 22.  
An agreement for limitation of the  
naval armaments of Italy and France— 
sought unsuccessfully at the London naval  
conference of 1930—was achieved Febru- 
ary 27 as the result of prolonged interna- 
tional negotiations for removal of the  
most serious immediate obstacle to world  
disarmament.  
The combined  New York Telegram,  
Evening World,  and  Morning World,  
made its first appearance February 26.  
The  World  newspapers separately con- 
ducted by Joseph Pulitzer and his heirs  
for almost half a century, have been sold  
to the Scripps-Howard interests. Through  
half a century the institution which Joseph  
Pulitzer founded and that founded by the  
Scripps have been working in separate  
ways toward a common end. To sum it  
up in a single sentence, that ideal is  
liberalism, independence, consideration foi  
those who have no other spokesman, and  
a deep faith in the ability of the com- 
mon man, given a fair deal, to better  
himself. The Pultizer brothers issued a  
statement saying economic conditions had  
made the sale  - inexorable" and that  
$500,000 of the proceeds would be dis- 
tributed to employees. The task of send- 
ing the  World  to press for the last time  
went forward in the gold-domed building  
on Park Row as the news of the sal(  
came in. The 2,867 workers paid their  
farewells in silence, tears, and songs.  
Thus passed a newspaper acquired by  
Joseph Pulitzer in 1883 and developed  
by him into an institution.  
Problems in Christian  
Living Are Discussed  
As a basis for his chapel talk Friday  
morning, President Thompson read a let- 
ter from a missionary who has been in  
a foreign country for a number of years, 
a letter in which were expressed his  
problems as a Christian, his doubts, his  
fears, and his struggles.  
"My experience," he read, "has not  
reached up to the place where a Chris- 
tian's should. There seems to be a satis- 
faction, a freshness, a companionship, a  
settling down to rest in peace on the part  
of some, but that experience has never  
come to me. I have fallen short. Why  
is there not rest? I find myself on •the  
side of the hill upon the top of which the  
pilgrim rests. I have old battles to fight  
anew. I am still in the beginning of the  
way."  
"This problem of reaching out for soul  
satisfaction and soul relaxation," said  
President Thompson, "getting away from  
the habitual struggling into the state of  
rest and peace, is not new.  
"Paul came into a world where the  
people were struggling as this Christian  
missionary and taught them to have com- 
plete faith and rest in Him."  
President Thompson then said, "I must  
write to my friend and tell him that his  
old philosophy needs to be revised, he  
needs to get a new slant on religion and  
the love of God. Paul says, 'I crucify  
myself daily,' 'I keep under my body,' 'for  
the love of Christ constraineth me.' Yet  
he had perfect confidence that Christ is  
the finisher as well as the author of the  
faith.  

After four days of political turmoil in  
Spain, Admiral Juan Bautista Aznar  
succeeded in forming a monarchist cab- 
inet and took office as premier.  
The soviet government has forbidden  
importation of Bibles and religious works  
in all languages under penalty of seizure  
and destruction. The object is to defeat  
Bible societies and similar organizations  
in Russia.  
Every time the hands of the clock in  
the House and Senate chambers move  
forward one hour the treasury is out  
$1,400. Figures submitted to the census  
committee show the cost per day of ses- 
sions of Congress on an eight-hour basis  
would be about $11,000.  
The eighteenth amendment was sus- 
tained as valid February 23 by the Su- 
preme court. Under the decision, the  
government will continue its efforts to  
enforce the Volstead law. The ruling  
handed down is the government's appeal  
from the decision of Federal Judge Clark  
of New Jersey, who held the amendment  
invalid because improperly ratified.  
Judge Clark contended that to be valid  
the amendment should have been sub- 
mitted to state conventions for ratification  
rather than to state legislatures.  
Rivalry among states to break Neva- 
da's quick divorce monopoly continued  
with the signature of Arkansas's govern- 
or on a ninety-day divorce bill and  
Idaho's House of Representatives en- 
dorsement of a similar measure. Carson  
City, determined to maintain Nevada's  
pre-eminence, is sponsoring a bill which  
would make six weeks' residence suffi- 
cient for the filing of a divorce petition.  
The veteran's loan bill was enacted into  
law February 26, over the veto of Presi- 
dent Hoover. The Senate voted decis- 
ively to override the presidential opposi- 
tion. This action, coupled with a similar  
decision by the House put the law into  
immediate effect. The act authorizes world  
war veterans to borrow up to half the face  
value of their adjusted compensation cer- 
tificates—an estimated average of $500  
being made available to each of the 3,- 
498,000 ex-service men who hold the in- 
surance.  
Sunshine Bands Give Joy  
To Children and Others  
Aileen Carter led out in the Sunshine  
band program at the State orphanage  
Sabbath. A short song service in charge  
of Sigrid Olson opened the program,  
followed by two stories told by Madge  
Rosenthal and Judson Miner. "It Pays  
to Serve Jesus" was the duet sung by  
Sigrid Olson and Dale Strawn. Other  
members from the college were Irene  
Ortner, Sylvia Meyer, Mrs. Stevens, and  
Mr. Keene. The band is encouraged by  
the large attendance and the desire on  
the part of the children to read the  Little  
Friends  which are distributed to them.  
Leola Castle took charge of the pro- 
gram at the Lutheran Tabitha home.  
Two violin selections were played by  
Hazel Kipp and two duets sung by Lilah  
and Frank Baer were enjoyed. A short  
talk was given by Robert Whitsett.  
A short service was also carried on  
at the County farm under the leadership  
of Rufus Baker. The program included  
a short song service, Scripture reading,  
a solo by Arthur Leno, and a sermonette  
by James Gaitens.  
The Orthopedic hospital is now under  
quarantine; hence that band has been un- 
able to visit the children there during the  
last few weeks.  
A second attempt against the life of  
King Zog of Albania within a week has  
been uncovered in Vienna.  
"Luck always seems to favor the man  
who doesn't count on it. -  

STAR LECTURE GIVEN  
Professor Ogden Gives Interesting  
Information in Chapel Talk  
"This universe is made up of a million  
star groups, and each group is divided up  
into two billion stars," declared E. B.  
Ogden, instructor of mathematics and  
physics in chapel Wednesday.  
"Our star group, or galaxy," he con- 
tinued, "is in somewhat of a biscuit shape,  
and is about ten times as large in diameter  
as it is in thickness. Most of the stars  
that we see on a bright night are the  
stars of our own galaxy. Looking out  
from the flat side of the 'biscuit' we see  
the Milky Way, which is made bright  
by the concentration of stars.  
"In our galaxy our sun with the little  
planets revolving around it occupies but a  
small place. This sun is merely one of  
the two billion stars in our star group.  
The sun travels a circle whose diameter  
is 186,000,000 miles during each year.  
With light traveling at 186,000 miles a  
second, Alpha Centauri, the nearest fixed 
star, is 4,3 light years away."  
The speaker suggested the following  
books for further study along this line:  
"Flight from Chaos," by Harlow Shapley;  
"The Universe Around Us," by Sir  
James Jones;  - The Romance of Reality,'"  
by Clark; "The Mysterious Universe," 
by Sir James Jones.

MISSIONARY SOCIETY  
PRESENTS PROGRAM  
Problems of Isolated Adventist  
Girl Portrayed in Several  
Realistic Scenes  
An impressive portrayal of the influence  
of Union college in a young person's life  
was shown in the bi-monthly program of  
the College Missionary Volunteer society  
given last Friday evening under the direc- 
tion of the assistant leader, Ruth Wiest.  
The change of the heart of Carolyn  
Beecher, an isolated young Adventist  
girl, brought about by attendance at Un- 
ion college, was depicted. First, she was  
shown in her own home on Friday even- 
ing when some young friends invited  
her to attend a social evening away from 
home. The next scene was of her remorse  
and of her learning of Union college.  
Next was shown a North hall worship  
scene in which the girls told each other  
how much Union had done for them. The  
next scenes showed the change brought  
about in her life and ended with a letter  
to the girl's mother, telling of a call to  
the mission field. Appropriate music was  
provided for each division of the story.  
Those taking part in the program were  
Eva Wilkinson, Milton Fischer, Mrs. Kel- 
ley, Alvin Sonnenberg, Lamont Thomp- 
son, Dale Strawn, Walter Howe, Lucille  
Howe in the home scenes; and a group  
of North hall girls together with Miss  
Rees in the worship scene.  
Encouraging Reports Are  
Given of Seminar Work  
Encouraging reports are coming from  
the field work being carried on by the  
homiletics class, assisted by members of  
the Gospel Workers' seminar. Eight  
churches are now under the charge of stu- 
dent pastors, one more than formerly.  
Pastor S. G. Haughey, president of the  
Nebraska conference, visited the Aurora  
church on Sabbath, and at the request of  
Jacque Spohn, the student leader of the  
church, spoke at the morning service.  
Pastor Haughey discussed Sunday legis-  
lation as a sign of the soon coming of  
Christ. In the afternoon Mr. Spohn spoke  
on "Where can we find rest?" basing his  
sermon on Matthew 11:29. Velvah  
Smouse and Ermina Powell furnished  
special music at both meetings.  
Mr. Spohn reports that certain church  
members in Aurora have proposed to pub- 
lish in the paper an announcement of his  
sermon a week ahead each week. Also a  
man in Seward has offered to redecorate 
the interior of the church provided the  
members furnish the paper.  
Walter Howe opened the special young  
people's week at Nebraska City with a  
sermon on the prodigal son. This work  
will be continued next week by Alten  
Bringle. Clyde Bushnell and Clarence 
Heiland taught Sabbath school classes.  
Mr. Bringle sang a solo, and conducted  
the review. At the close of the service a  
number of young people brought ques- 
tions and problems to Mr. Howe.  
The service at Beatrice was conducted  
by Reinhold Beitz, assisted by Pastor  
House. Mr. Beitz spoke on the beast of  
Revelation 13 and its mark. After the  
service, a baptismal class was organized,  
which will be under the direction of Mrs.  
Carl Johnson. Many visitors were present.

String Trio and a Male  
Quartet Entertain Boys  

  
Last Thursday evening the young men's  
club of South hall was entertained by  
Professor C. C. Engel's string trio and  
the newly organized South hall quartet.  
The members of the trio, Professor  
Engel, Miss Clayoma Engel, and Miss  
Estelle Kiehnoff, first played a number.  
Professor Engel played a number of solo  
selections accompanied by Miss Kiehnhoff  
at the piano.  
The male quartet, comprising James  
Meade, Delbert Marquardt, Elmer  
Schmidt, and Alten Bringle, sang for the  
concluding number, "A Little Close Har- 
mony."  

  

  
UNUSUAL PROGRAM  
GIVEN ON SABBATH  

  
Faculty Members Present Varied  
Program at Sabbath School  
In College Chapel  

  
An unusual program given by the  
faculty was presented in the chapel at  
the Sabbath school service. As Mr. Ger- 
net played the prelude, five of the faculty  
members took their places on the plat- 
form, Miss Hiatt acting as superintendent.  
After the Scripture reading and prayer  
by Mr. Ogden, instructor in mathematics  
and physics, Miss Linnie Keith, instructor  
in academic English and languages, read  
the report of the previous week in the  
form of a poetic paraphrase. Mrs. Hayden  
followed, rendering Grieg's "Spring  
Song" on her violin.  
Professor T. A. Little gave an inspir- 
ational talk on what a dollar will do,  
telling of the various things that a dollar  
might represent to different people and  
calling attention to the foreign mission  
fields, where one dollar goes so much  
further than it does here in the homeland.  
He said that a dollar to some people  
means twenty candy bars. In contrast he  
told stories of consecrated means which  
have yielded much more value received  
than one hundred cents used in selfish ex- 
penditure.  
Mrs.  P. L. Thompson read the thrilling  
dream of a missionary found in the book  
"Things as They Are," by Carmichael.  
in which the missionary pictured those in  
the blindness of heathenism going over  
the precipice to ruin with no one to rescue  
them.  
Miss Hiatt's remarks called attention  
to the classes perfect in attendance and  
offerings, whose teachers are Mrs. P. L.  
Thompson, Sophia Van Buskirk, Reuben  
Johnson, Miss Pearl Rees, and Dr. E. N.  
Dick.  
  
The Environs of  
Jerusalem as  Seen  
By a Missionary  

  
(This is the third of a  series of  articles  
by Mr. Sorenson, returned missionary, con- 
cerning his visit to the Holy Land.)  
By M.  J. SORENSON  
We left the city of Jerusalem through  
Zion gate, turned to our right and headed  
east, descending the Tyropoen valley. At  
the juncture of the Tyropoen and Ked- 
ron valleys is the Pool of Siloam. Here  
Jesus healed the blind man as recorded  
in John 9:1-41. It is a large reservoir  
fifty-three feet long, eighteen feet wide,  
and nineteen feet deep. The water of this  
pool is supplied by the Virgin pool or  
Gihon, as it is called in the Old Testa- 
ment. Gihon is 366 yards further up on  
the opposite side of Ophel. A subterran- 
ean tunnel is supposed to have been dug  
by Hezekiah, at a time when Jerusalem  
was threatened by the Assyrians. The  
Pool of Gihon was outside the city walls,  
and the water supply of the city was  
thus in danger of being cut off in case of  
a siege. By this tunnel the water was  
brought within the city walls. The actual  
distance between the two pools is only  
366 yards, while the tunnel meanders  
through a distance of 583 yards.  
It appears that the tunnel was worked  
from both ends at the same time. Near  
the middle is a crooked turn where the  
two groups of workmen united the pas- 
sage. Some years ago a Hebrew inscrip- 
tion on the Siloam end of the orifice was  
discovered. It consisted of six lines writ- 
ten in very ancient Hebrew. The builders  
considered their work as a wonderful  
piece of engineering skill.  
Gihon, or the Virgin pool, is a pool in  
the side of Ophel and is fed by a large  
spring. Thirty-three steps lead down to  
the basin, which is eleven by eleven feet.  
Opposite the Kedron, extending well up  
the side of this part of Mount Olives, is  
a large Jewish cemetery. This is a sacred  
burial ground to the pious Jews, and  
many of them succeeded in making this  
their final resting place. Just above the  
banks of the Kedron are three very an- 
cient tombs. The most conspicious is  
the Tomb of Absalom. A circular cupola  
is mounted on a square block about twen- 
ty feet high. The base is filled with stones 
thrown there by Jews to show their ob- 
horrence of David's ungrateful son. A  
similar obstruction hides from view a 
sephulchral cavern called , the Tomb of  
Jehoshaphat. The other, the tomb of  
Zachariah, is a square structure hewn out  
of the living rock by cutting a passage  
around it.  
Continuing northward on the west bank  
of the Kedron until we reached a path  
coming from St. Stephen and running

Telling Children Stories  
Is Topic in Seminar  

  
How proper contact with children aids  
ministerial work was illustrated in the  
meeting of the Gospel Workers' seminar  
conducted by the young women Friday  
evening.  
In discussing the importance of work  
with children, Gladys Huffman, assistant  
leader, described the success of one minis- 
ter in combining children's work with his  
regular evangelistic effort.  
"Half an hour before the evening meet- 
ing," said Miss Huffman, "this minister  
conducts a service especially for the 
children. He has a song service, then  
tells them stories. The children are so  
anxious to attend this meeting that they  
coax their parents to bring them, and  
this usually results in the entire family's  
remaining for the regular service."  
"The art of story-telling is as old as  
the ages," declared Miss Lulu Blanche  
Hiatt.  - With some it is a talent, with  
others the art must be developed. What a  
child learns from stories told is more deep- 
ly impressed upon his mind than what is  
read to him."  
Miss Hiatt pointed out the three rea- 
sons for story-telling according to Ar- 
thur Spaulding: to give pleasure, to teach 
truth, to stimulate and inspire imitation.  
The different types of stories, she said,  
are nature, history, and Bible.

UNION UNITED  
The problem of the relationship between dormitory and resident  
students seems to have existed not only here but elsewhere as well.  
That it  was  a problem m  .y  riot necessarily mean that it has totally  
been done away with, bl . it does mean that it has ceased to be such  
a serious issue, and in a (.,:gree which deserves comment. The oneness 
and unity of Union  ca:i,  no doubt, be largely attributed to the frank  
and general  frion'..:ar,ess  which has been on the steady increase dur- 
ing  the past rive  years. Upper classmen and lower classmen enjoy  
each other's association and even the academics, who so heartily join  
in the campaigns and other activities, are taken into consideration as  
one of the parts which make up the whole. The exclusiveness or  
cliques has given way to the making of a united Union. North hall  
showed her hospitality and spirit of democracy by including the whole  
school in the open house festivities this year. The extra expense and  
work which such a large number of guests caused was gladly should- 
ered in order that those who cannot share in the privileges of dormi- 
tory life might be permitted to do so on this occasion. The sharing of  
gymnasium privileges by students and faculty, dormitory and resi- 
dent students alike, has also had its part in bringing about the spirit  
of unity which exists.  
When a large number of students were asked what they like  
best about Union, the most common answer was, "The friendliness  
and democracy which we find here." The sons and daughters of  
Union are trying to live up to their family name, and realizing that  
this is a "little journey soon gone by," the expression "Let's be friends  
together" is being lived out to a larger extent at Union from day to  
day. 	 L. M.  B.  
" INDOOR SPORTS "  
A stranger would be mystified if he came into the college dining  
hall at meal time. Here sit six people at a table. One is industriously  
stowing away the last bites of salad and potatoes in order that all  
may begin on their dessert. The other five people sit with their hands  
ecstatically clasped around half-pint milk bottles. No, they are not  
living over their younger days, but it is certain that there is a degree  
of excitement.  
An exasperated groan from the hostess announces that she has  
discovered bubbles escaping from her bottle. Just as one of the boys  
turns his bottle to look at the lid, he jumps back and the rest have a  
good laugh at his expense.  
The popularity of this new form of "competitive game" is sur- 
prising. Every milk-drinker immediately claps the top back on his  
individual milk bottle as soon as he has emptied it into a tumbler,  
and waits for the expanding air to produce a miniature explosion.  
Perhaps the popularity of the pastime may be accounted for by the  
fact that it is a cross between an indoor sport and a scientific experi- 
ment, making it equally fascinating to freshmen and faculty members.  
Anyway, it provides the slow eater a painless interval in which to  
finish his meal while the rest are enjoying their bottles.  
IDEALS  
What shining ideals dazzle the eyes of the callow undergraduate  
as he contemplates a life of service, of grand accomplishment, and of  
world reformation! Each year of college the purposes and meanings  
of life have impressed him with a greater burst of eclat and a more  
startling vision of the possibilities waiting for  him  to seize. He has  
the idea the world is waiting breathlessly for someone to show the  
way to brotherhood, kindliness, peace, and good will.  
And it is true that the world needs these very things, that many  
have desires for the higher and better ways of living which have been  
buried under all the shams, pretenses, and selfishness of the every day;  
but there is no breathless waiting for a leader. The world possesses  
a mammoth self-conceit and self-content, listlessness, and inertia.  
When the young man or woman, in the first spurt of enthusiasm,  
realizes that children are not cherubs which react always as textbooks  
say they will to the methods of Montessari, Pestolozzi, and Froebel;  
when they realize that boys and girls are not particularly stirred to  
breathlessness with the beauty of Tennyson or Lanier; when they  
realize that many parents are quite contented to deprive themselves  
of "new light" and the ideals of beauty, loveliness, and co-operation,  
in the more mundane interests of making a living—they grow dis- 
couraged and almost give up. The fiery young missionary is horrified  
that the cannibals are still reasonably happy in their dirt and degra- 
dation. The young theologue finds his congregation unmoved by his  
rhapsodies. The young clerk finds his firm pitiably entrenched in  
worn-out schemes, and totally closed to enlightenment. They are all  
sure they have come into the world too early, and that there is nothing  
to be done about it all. They do give up if they do not have a  
redeeming sense of humor, in which case they are .able to keep their  
ideals, but modify them to meet the strain of actual life.  
This is one of the tragedies of a certain type of collegiate train- 
ing—this expectation which demands too much because the training  
has been divorced from living, because  books  in the abstract have  
been made too necessary and art has been separated from life. A  
sense of humor is a realization of the true comparative values of  
ideals and "things as they are," the ability to adjust oneself to con- 
ditions and make the best of things, the ability to laugh at oneself  
and with others and yet not be cynical, and the grace of being  
" not too bright and good  
For human nature's daily food."  
All this, it seem to me, is summed up in the following lines taken  
from Henry Van Dyke:  
"Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into  
human stuff on the loom of the real,  
Keep me from caring more for books than for folks, for art than  
life."

Several Appear First  
Time in Music Recital  
Sunday afternoon in the studio of  Mrs.  
Ledington, voice teacher, there was pre- 
sented a student recital of a varied nature.  
At three o'clock students and friends  
gathered to hear the program of vocal,  
piano, and violin numbers. Several of  
the students made their first appearance  
in recital at this time.  
To open the afternoon of music Doris  
Kirstein sang "The Arsa," by Rubinstein,  
and "Thank God for a Garden," by Del  
Reigo. Myrna George at the piano play- 
ed a "Gavotte," by Brahams, a musical  
picture in its various tempos and moods.  
The  - Ave Maria," by Luzzie, was sung  
by Rae Haviland in the original latin text.  
The majestic composition, "How Lovely  
are Thy Dwellings," by Liddle, was sung  
by Arthur Leno.  
Mr. Lyle Freemeyer played Bach- 
Gounod's  - Ave Maria." This composition  
has the distinction of having the accom- 
paniment being written before the melody.  
Mr. Freemeyer made his first appearance  
as a soloist. Esther Nelson sang two com- 
positions, "The Monotone," by Cor- 
nelius, and "Solveg's Song," by Grieg.  
Mary Hannah Thompson played a  
r.omposition for the piano by Sebastian  
Bach's son, C. P. E. Bach, the composi- 
tion being "Solfeggietto,"a swift mov- 
ing piano number. Gladys Munn sang  
"My Laddie," by Thayer.  	 Velvah  
Smouse proved the confidence which she  
placed with her audience as she sang her  
first phrase of "Ashes of Roses, -   by  
Huntingdon -Woodman.  
The vocal trio was asked by the list- 
eners to repeat their selection, "Flower  
of Dreams," by Clokey, a composition 
of intricate harmonic combinations. The  
trio is composed of Esther Nelson, Doris  
Kirstein, and Ferry] Garvin. To close the  
afternoon of music Esther House played  
on the piano the first movement of Beeth- 
oven's Sonata, op. 13.  
A new shoe repair shop was opened  
in College View last week, the Bon Ton  
Electric Shoe Hospital, on the corner of  
Prescott and Forty-seventh streets, under  
the proprietorship of Mr. Wilson.

Alumnus of Union  
Writes Back of  
Her Present Work  
(Editor's note: The following is a letter  
from Miss Anderson, who is a member of  
the class of '30.)  

        
Wolsey, S. Dak.,  
Jan. 11, 1931.  
Miss Pearl L. Rees,  
Lincoln, Nebraska.  
Dear Miss Rees,  
How are you and my old home—North  
hall? I miss not being there this year.  
It almost makes me wish that I was not  
through college, so that I could be back 
there again. I think about you so often  
and about my old job of ringing bells and  
all and get lonesome for North hall and  
old Union. I have been thinking of writ- 
ing to you for some time, but it seems  
as though I am always busy and just  
htiven't gotten to it sooner. I wish I  
could be talking with you instead of  
writing.  
My school work here is very easy, the  
easiest work I have ever had. My pupils  
are just lovely to me, and I am getting 
along just fine. It is sixteen miles from  
home, but I have been driving the car  
all year so far and staying at home. I  
have a place where I can stay when I  
want to, which is just a little over a block  
from the school, but I would rather drive  
and be at home. I have stayed only two  
nights so far, and the term is exactly hall  
gone now.  
I am feeling fine and you know I would  
be or I wouldn't be driving thirty-two  
miles a day. While driving a car is not  
a hard job and I like it, yet it takes qui 
a bit of grit to get out early some o;  
these cold mornings. I'm not chicken- 
hearted over a little cold weather or any- 
thing like that, though.  
But I don't feel satisfied to be in pub- 
lic school work, as that was not what I  
wanted to do. I have had all of my edu- 
cation in our schools.  
I am sending you a dollar for the  
North hall house fund.  
Sincerely yours,  
IRENE ANDERSON  

              
Chapel Exercises  
Broadly Educative  
By WILLIAM OLSON  
Chapel is sort of a three-hour miscel- 
laneous class. It is required, like gym, but  
no credit is given for it. No grades are  
issued, but an amount of reflection is  
cast on conduct grades for whispering  
and studying. However, these grades do  
not sink when skips are too numerous; it  
is the inflation of the pocketbook that  
goes down. Money is paid out for at- 
tendance at ordinary classes, but here 
money is paid out for non-attendance.  
Compulsory chapel attendance is an in- 
stitution. It would have been discarded  
long ago if it had not proved beneficial. 
However, it depends on the student  
whether or not it is profitable. If he is  
wide awake and attentive he misses noth- 
ing. If he is tired and sleepy, if he is pre- 
paring for a quiz, or even doing more  
serious study, or if he is reading letters  
or just reading, it does him a minimum 
of good.  
Not only is chapel an inconvenient  
place to study, but it is decidedly bad  
etiquette to study there. Heads bent studi- 
ously over books may not prove to be  
especially inspiring to chapel speakers.  
But think what a delightful little game  
it must be to see how many heads can  
be raised and changed from absorption  
in books to interest in the speech. Maybe  
that is why more heads are bent to be- 
gin with than remain still studiously  
bowed at the end of an enthusiastic  
speaker's address.  
Much is missed by those who study  
or are inattentive during chapel. Every  
speaker has something of importance to  
say. All kinds of topics are discussed.  
New and revised ideas and thoughts are  
presented. The attentive listener can learn  
much about a variety of things. This is  
a class created to broaden and complete  
classroom education. In the schedule of 
classes it forms a long, broad strip; and  
in the college program it plays an import- 
ant and valuable part.

BYRD FILM COMING  
South Hall to Present Great Scientific  
And Educational Picture  
BY HAROLD LINCOLN  
One of the biggest events of the year  
to take place in the college chapel will  
be the picture, "With Byrd at the South  
Pole," to be given under the auspices of  
the boys of South hall Saturday evening,  
March 7. This picture was one of the  
greatest filming accomplishments of 1930.  
No matter what the scientific value of the  
Byrd expedition, this picture is more than  
that, it is an epic work. This picture is  
the story of the exploration, showing the  
inside life of an exploring party. It shows  
men dealing with isolation crises, battling  
for an existence in a world of ice and  
snow. It shows the city these intrepid  
adventurers built out of the ice and snow, 
and riding high amidst the swirling snow  
and antarctic blizzard winds, the stars and  
stripes on the radio beacon tower in Little  
America. You will see this little city  
live its life, dealing with whales, and  
watching the seals and penguins playing  
with the men afraid.  
The most thrilling of all is the actual  
photographing of the trip over the South  
Pole. There is a thrilling tenseness that  
grips one, making one feel that he is  
with Byrd in the plane. All is white and  
desolate and terrifying. Probably the  
most touching part of the picture is when  
the plane crosses the pole, the stars and  
stripes being dropped, propelled by a 
stone from the grave of Floyd Bennett,  
to flutter down from Byrd's pinae to the  
South Pole, a memorial to the accomplish- 
ments of mankind on fire with the zeal to  
discover their world.  
Probably one of the most outstanding  
and epoch-making accomplishments in the  
history of scientific and geographic dis- 
covery was that the Richard E. Byrd ex- 
pedition. Using scientific appliances and  
apparatus under great handicaps of the  
elements in a frozen land, the Byrd ex- 
pedition kept in touch with civilization  
thousands of miles away. Byrd is the  
only man who has crossed both poles of  
the globe.  
This picture, while purely and highly ed- 
ucational, has the thrills of adventure an(  
touches of drama in it—not artificial  
drama, but that of life itself, life in con- 
flict with hostile elements. It shows the  
conquering of the last frontiers of the  
world by mankind; and the conquest was  
made entirely by scientific means, and  
most of all, by Americans.  
"We often wonder whether solemn men  
take life as seriously as they would lead  
us to believe they do."  

Habit Can Be An  
Inexorable Master  
By  WESLEY PLINKE  
For a long time after I started to work  
behind the candy counter of a large drag-  
store, I had the candy-eating hault.  	 Ills  
habit grew with me until my daily cane: y  
bar became a necessity. No whisky-drink- 
er or cigarette smoker ever  mad  a more  
fixed habit to overcome. It seemed that  
my stomach cried out for caddy, and I  
could not resist. In the drug-s!ore in  
which I worked was a young assistant  
druggist who was not a Christian. In  
explaining the doctrines of my belief to  
him I mentioned the fact that cigarettes,  
coffee, and strong drink were absolutely  
forbidden. When I pointed out the rea- 
sons for such temperance, he began to  
differ with me and ridiculed me for re- 
fraining from using such things, especially  
coffee. I stated that they are injurious to  
the system and he asked me this question:  
"What about all the candy you are eat- 
ing?"  
I was 'convicted and I started a hard  
fight to overcome the habit of eating too  
many sweets. With the help of God I  
succeeded, but I cannot but compare the  
candy bar habit with the many sins of  
the world today. The night revelers, the  
drinkers, and the smokers are all looked  
upon with some degree of disdain, but the  
excessive candy eater lives on unmolested  
notwithstanding the fact that his body  
processes are inhibited as much as those  
of many drinkers and smokers. But the  
intemperate candy eater does not create  
a very bad picture of inebriacy; therefore  
he is not held up to scorn.  
In the same way are the criminals who  
sill against God and man looked upon.  
The crimes of murder, theft, and blas- 
phemy are bad enough, but the gossiper,  
the cheater, and the teller of small lies  
are just as guilty before God. No sugar- 
coated sins escape His notice.  
Therefore we must strive to root out  
all small evils from our lives and be able  
to present ourselves spotless and clean  
before God and continually remember  
that one cherished sin, even though it be  
small, will keep us from God's kingdom.  
We should not be deceived by the ap- 
pearances of things; God can see the  
heart, but we merely see the coating, and  
the small things of this world are big  
things with God.

THE CLOCK TOWER  	 PAGE THREE  
Poise Needed In  
Game of Life As  
In Athletic Games  
By HARRISON EVANS  
As an athlete from Nebraska has writ- 
ten, "The qualities that make an athlete  
a champion are an excellent physique, an  
earnest love for the game; those are nec- 
essary, but there is another inherent  
force that goes to make good athletes  
great. It is called  poise."  
How often I've seen ball players go  
to the field and then leave it having made  
no impression on the game and very lit- 
tle on the bleachers. What was it many  
or all of them lacked that made them miss  
distinctiveness? It was probably poise.  
They lacked the  - stuff" to produce at  
the critical moment.  
Three years ago when the district  
basketball tournament was called in my 
home town, a number of impressive teams  
appeared. In fact three of the outstanding  
teams in the state came. I was mildly im- 
pressed by the first two teams, and was  
hoping to see a good game that evening.  
That evening when the third team came  
on the floor every man appeared to pos- 
sess an ease and assurance that was real- 
ly impressive. The crowd seemed to be  
for them from the minute the game start- 
ed. I have often wondered what it was  
which impressed me. I have come to the  
conclusion that it was the biggest asset  
in any game—poise. Every man played  
earnestly and surely, but fairly. When the  
cisis came each backed the others up to  
meet it. Once when a technical foul was  
called, the captain, who was privileged  
to shoot the free throw, gave the chance  
to the star forward. The goal was made,  
but the impressive thing was that the  
little forward came up and shook hands  
with and thanked the captain for giving  
him the opportunity.  
It showed poise, the indomitable graci- 
ousness of a great athlete, and a truly  
big man. No athlete is appreciated when  
he goes into the game forgetting the rights  
of his fellow players and playing only  
for the glory of himself. So as it is in  
athletics; so it is in the big game of life.  
Now the next question is, "What is it  
that makes poise?" Is it ability to out- 
run an opponent, or the ability to get up  
and give an impressive stump speech 
anywhere at any time? For my part I  
should say it is not, for impressiveness  
does not always make true greatness and  
poise.  
Lincoln and Douglas were men of two  
outstandingly different personalities. Doug- 
las gave a flowery speech, apparently was  
a man of distinguished ability and cul- 
tured talent; and Lincoln, tall, awkward,  
and slightly embarrassed, had neverthe- 
less the poise to impress thousands and to  
leave a message in the hearts of the  
American people that will live forever.  
I would say the way to acquire poise  
the most readily would be to follow  
Washington's model. "Labor to keep alive  
in your breast that little spark of celes- 
tial fire called conscience." If one would  
always keep his conscience clear, he  
would always be ready to act quickly  
and be unafraid in a time of crisis. He would  
desire to fight for his gains, and he  
would prepare himself for the trials to  
come whether it be in the games of sport  
or in the games of life.  
STORY-TELLING IS TOPIC  
(Continued from page one)  
"The reason a child prefers to have a  
story told rather than read is because  
of what is termed the 'filter of person- 
ality.' " stated Miss Hiatt. "The reader is  
bound by the book, but the story-teller  
is free to express his own personality  
and to use his own words. The connect- 
tion is much closer between the story  
teller and his audience because of this  
freedom of expression.  
"Know your story, have it well ar- 
ranged, and tell it simply.  Don't  moralize  
at the end of the story. If the story has  
been within the child's comprehension, the  
lesson will be much more effective if not  
openly expressed."  
Miss Hiatt gave examples of the ef- 
fect of missionary stories upon children.  
She stated that it was stories of this  
kind which led Marcus Whitman to take  
up his work for the Indians, and Florence  
Nightingale her work as nurse. Miss  
Hiatt concluded with two stories: the  
story of the rosebud, a nature story; and  
"The Little Girl Who Tended the Door,"  
the Bible story of Peter's deliverance  
from prison.  
Eva Wilkinson gave a chalk talk for  
children, showing the effect of sin upon  
the human heart. The interest of the audi- 
ence was first aroused by questions, and  
by instructions to guess the name of the  
flowers which she was about to draw on  
the blackboard.  
Special music was provided by a quar- 
tet composed of Lilah Baer, Arta Parma- 
lee, Reinholt Beitz, and Frank Baer, ac- 
companied by Catherine Turner.  
"Contentment was a good word until  
an advertiser associated it with cows."  
"The best work is done by men who  
are not afraid of their own ideas."  
"Usually, what we don't earn we don't  
keep."  

SENS  PROPRE  
By  JULIETTE  
Should one who asks the blessing in  
the dining-room stand or remain seated?  
In a home he should remain seated. In  
a school dining-room, the custom of the  
school should be followed. Our custom  
here indicates that the person saying  
grace should stand.  
When  the salt is passed, should  one  
wait for the person to set it on the table  
or take it' in his hand?  
Since there is only one salt shaker at  
the table and it must be passed around to  
all, one should take it in his hand and  
then pass it on.  
When a girl sits on the side next to  
the water glasses and a boy goes after  
the water, should she turn the glasses up?  
It is perfectly all right for her to do so.  
What attitude should be taken by stu- 
dents when their individual parties are  
separated by the dining-room hostess?  
If students come to the dining-room to- 
gether and happen to be separated by the  
dining-room matron they should accept it  
graciously and go to the table which she  
indicates without a change of expression.  
It is the height of ill manners to do other- 
wise. The dining-room matron arranges  
the groups as best she can, and any cul-
tured person will accept the place offered  
without a murmur.  
In  the absence  of a  dinner plate would  
it not be more convenient and proper to  
place the bread-and-butter plate on the  
right side, which would provide a safer 
resting place for the knife and fork?  
Since the bread-and-butter plate is al- 
ways placed at the left and just beyond  
the forks, it is hardly wise to make such  
a change.  
Is it considered good form to slice  
bananas  into  the breakfast food  in  our  
dining-room?  
Yes, if one prefers to eat them that  
way. The right way to eat a banana is to  
pull back one section of the peel and  
slice each bite, using a fork.  
How should preserves  or  jelly be eaten?  
Jellies and jams as well as butter are  
spread on bread with a knife. Butter is  
put on vegetables and jelly on vegetables  
or meat substitutes, however, with a fork.  
Where should the hands be placed be- 
fore one is seated at the table?  
By one's side, not on the chair-back.  
How should the feet be placed under  
the table?  
The feet should be placed parallel with  
each other or under one's own chair.  
Should the host ever fill the water  
pitcher?  
Yes, when no other men are at the  
table, or when other gentlemen are busy  
with trays. He should not stand waiting  
for someone else to do all that is to be  
done when by helping too the members of  
the table could be - seated sooner.  
Should elbows ever be placed on the  
table?  
No, not in the college dining-room.  
Let me quote Emily Post on this subject:  
"Although elbows on the table are seen  
constantly in highest fashionable circles,  
a whole table's length of elbows planted  
like clothes-line poles and hands waving  
glasses or forks about in between, is  
neither attractive nor, fortunately, an ac- 
curate picture of a dinner table.  
"Elbows are universally seen on tables  
in restaurants, especially when people are  
lunching or dining at a small table of  
two or four, and it is impossible to make  
oneself heard above the music of one's  
table companions, and at the some time  
not be heard at other tables nearby, with- 
out leaning far forward. And in leaning  
forward, a woman's figure makes a more  
graceful outline supported on her elbows  
than doubled forward over her hands in  
her lap as though in pain! At home, when  
there is no reason for leaning across the  
table, there is no reason for elbows.  
"Elbows  are never  put on the table  
while one is eating. To sit with the left  
elbow propped on the table while eating  
with the right hand—unless one is alone  
or ill—or to prop the right one on the  
table while lifting the fork or glass to 
the mouth, must be avoided."  

Happiness Requires  
Something to Do  
By M. H. T.  
Happiness is a real necessity, and com- 
pensates those who will cultivate it. This  
subject, happiness, was called to our at- 
tention in worship one evening. The girls  
were asked the question, "Of what does  
happiness consist?" or "What makes one 
happy?" Several suggested that having  
a work to do was essential to happiness.  
Others thought that being busy all the  
time would not be the happiest state to  
live in, but rather one should have leisure  
time in which to contemplate the achieve- 
ments of his work. However, in looking  
over some quotations, I find that many  
people believe that happiness and work go  
hand in hand. ,Ruskin says, "Toll is the  
law. Pleasures come through toil, and  
not by self-indulgence and indolence. 
When one gets to love work, his life is  
a happy one." One of Doctor Johnson's  
ingredients of happiness was, "A little  
less time than you want." If his recipe  
is correct, surely every college student  
can have happiness, for that means al- 
ways to have so many things you want  
to see and to have and to do that no day  
is quite long enough for all you would  
like to get' done.  
There is another secret of happiness be-  
sides having something to do. Timothy  
Dwight says, "That man is the happiest  
who has the most interesting .things to  
think about." If one looks for trouble he  
will find it, and just so it is with happi- 
ness. One of the arch-enemies of happi-
ness is worry, for it prefers to invade  
the contented mind.  
Above all, happiness will not be satis- 
fied to be quietly put off in a corner. It  
must be used. Happiness comes by giv- 
ing it to others. The way to be happy is  
to make others so.  
This much desired and admired quality  
really repays the person who will culti- 
vate it. It not only increases the number  
of one's friends, but gives one more time.  
Dryden tells us.  
"The happy people have whole days,  
and those they use;  
The unhappy have but hours, and  
those they lose."  
"It is a matter of economy to be happy,  
to view life and all its conditions from 
the brightest angle. It enables one to seize  
life at its best."  
The following short poem gives still  
more reasons why one should want to be  
happy:  
"Be happy; let who will be sad,  
There are so many pleasant things,  
So many things to make us glad,  
The flower that buds, the bird that  
sings;  
And sweeter still than all of these 
Are friendships and old memories."  
STAR LECTURE  
(Continued on page three)  
Mr. Ogden gave some measurement  
suggestions for the measurement of stellar  
distances. He said that the numbers could  
not be conceived because the human mind  
is capable of comprehending only a very  
small number. The immensities of space  
were suggested on different units of meas- 
urement. By a small, electrically driven  
representation of the solar system some  
idea of its size and the mechanics of the  
sun and its planets was shown. Mr. Og- 
den showed that if the solar system were  
given according to even an extremely  
small scale, the world being represented  
by a unit too small to be seen by the mi- 
croscope, the nearest star would be placed 
clear off the campus. With these celestial  
yardsticks of comparative distances and  
sizes, numbers of galaxies were described,  
although the speaker told his audience  
that they could not even comprehend the  
meaning of the figures, they were so vast.  
"That they may have a little peace, ev- 
en the best dogs are compelled to snarl  
occasionally."

Pastor  Speaks On Seven  
Churches of Revelation  
In his discourse Sabbath morning Pas- 
tor R. T. Baer spoke on the messages to 
the seven churches, as recorded in the  
Revelation. Representing, as they do, the  
church of God from apostolic times until  
the close of human probation, these seven  
churches prove of momentous import to  
every person who professes Christianity,  
the speaker said. "The truths sent by God 
to these churches, emanating as they do  
from Him who loved the world and ever  
will love His followers, are of great im- 
portance to every human being. Prone as  
we are to indifference, yet our loving  
Creator assures us that there are infinite  
possibilities before us," he continued. He  
showed that from the very first church,  
Ephesus, commended for its purity in the  
midst of a corrupt world, God gave to  
every church unmistakable evidences of  
His eternal care. The church of God  
passed through terrific storms of persecu- 
tion in which millions of lives were snuffed  
out as of little value, but "there is One  
who has marked every grave, even  
though unknown to any mortal man."  
Pastor Baer called attention to the last  
church especially as the church which  
represents the church at the end of time,  
saying, "Soon will come the time when  
'every eye shall see Him and they also  
who pierced Him.' People are now be- 
ing gathered out who shall be finally pre- 
pared to  see Him  as He is. Now we have  
come down to the very last church, Lao- 
dicea. Here we are, living right on the  
borders of eternity,  yet  in lukewarm, in- 
active condition. Many are leaning upon  
a false hope. We are prone to be satis- 
fied with old experiences. What we need  
is a return to the love and zeal for right- 
eous living such as was exemplified in the  
apostolic church. Fearful threatenings and  
glorious promises are placed before us.  
Probation will soon close. Now, right  
now, is the time for everyone to get  
right with God."

JERUSALEM  AS SEEN BY  
MISSIONARY  
(Continued from page one)  
eartward, we turned to the right, crossed  
the brook and started our ascent. I had 
two Palestinian boys with me. They had  
been raised right in Jerusalem and knew  
all its nooks and crooks. We had donkeys 
and rode wherever is was not too steep.  
Our first stop was at the Garden of  
Gethsemane. It is still a secluded garden.  
There are some very old olive trees and  
also a few cypress trees. The Roman  
Catholics have built a very beautiful  
church right over the spot where it is  
thought that Jesus prayed the Thursday  
night of His betrayal. The atmosphere of  
the place seems to transport one back  
1900 years and the events of that Thurs- 
day night rapidly passed through my  
mind, the praying Saviour, the sleeping  
disciples, Judas and the high priest's del- 
egation. Here, as in few other places, one  
feels he is treading on holy ground.

Continuing our ascent over much the  
same path which Jesus often trod, we  
reached the summit of the Mount of Ol- 
ives. The mount is one of the highest  
points in Palestine, being 2680 feet above  
sea level. A magnificent view spreads out  
before one's eyes. To the west is Jeru- 
salem in all its splendor. In the fore- 
ground is the Temple Area, Unconscious- 
ly we are carried back to the setting of  
Matthew 24. Looking beyond Jerusalem,  
the Judaean highlands gradually grow  
smaller until they lose themselves in the  
Philistinian plain. With a pair of field  
glasses one can see the Mediterranean.  
Looking eastward the hills fall away more  
abruptly, and down in the deep gorge  
one sees the Dead Sea and the green  
thread of the Jordan valley that links  
it with the Sea of Galilee. Beyond the  
Dead sea, Mount Nebo is visible. The  
view over the city is most magnificent at  
sunrise; over the Jericho valley it is  
most striking at the hour of sunset.  
Bethany is about two miles east of  
Jerusalem. It is now called El Azarijeh  
and has about forty hovels occupied by  
Mohammedans. There are groves of fig,  
olive, almond and carob trees. Its grain  
fields form a pleasant contrast to the ster- 
ility of the hills nearer Jerusalem. Beth- 
any was much favored by our Lord. He  
loved the hospitable home of Lazarus and  
his two sisters. The site of their home  
as well as that of Simon the leper are  
still pointed out.

Tell His Disciples  
and Peter  
REUBEN JOHNSON  
Isaiah prophesied of Jesus, "A bruised  
reed shall He not break, and the smok- 
ing flax shall He not quench." We can  
see the fulfillment of this prophecy by  
studying the life of Jesus. When Peter  
had denied his Lord thrice, the last time  
by cursing and swearing, the Lord of  
glory, the Saviour of men, did not forget  
him. I can imagine during those days  
when Peter was about heart-broken, his  
Master crucified and in the grave, that his  
disciples were very unsympathetic toward  
him. They could tell one another of his  
mistakes, especially this last one of deny- 
ing his Lord, but they did not have a  
word of encouragement for him. How  
different was Jesus. After his resurrection  
He had his angel give the message to  
those who sought his body, "Go your  
way; tell his disciples  and Peter  that He  
goeth before you into Galilee; there shall  
ye see Him." Yes, He still remembered  
Peter. "A bruised reed shall He not break  
and the smoking flax shall He not  
quench."  
"Life goes along like a song for those  
who do today what should be done to- 
day."

QUESTIONS ON PAGE 3  
In 1856 the United States govern- 
ment tried out camels as a means of trans- 
portation. The camels were imported from  
the Levant under the direction of Jeffer- 
son Davis, then Secretary of War. It  
was thought that their ability to travel  
long distances over the desert without  
water would solve the transportation  
problem between San Antonio and Los  
Angeles. Government officials were at  
first very favorable to their use but they  
proved no match for the swifter pony  
express and overland stage of the north-
ern route.  
This expression dates back to the  
days of the guild system. Under that in- 
stitution, in order to rise from the position  
of journeyman to master workman a  
man was required to show his ability on  
the line of his chosen trade. The article  
which he made at this time was the  
product of his best efforts and was closely  
scrutinized by guild officials; consequently  
it became known as a masterpiece.  
During the two decades just prior  
to the Civil War the Mississippi valley  
was the greatest shipping center in the 
world. The steamboat tonnage of New  
Orleans was twice that of New York  
and the entire tonnage of the Mississippi 
and Ohio valleys was much greater than  
that of the British Empire. The advent  
of the railroads and the Civil War ruined  
this great transportation business.  
On the night of June 20, 1756, a  
party of 156 English were taken prison- 
ers and confined in an apartment eighteen  
feet by fourteen feet ten inches, by a  
Newab at Calcutta, India. This cell had  
only two small windows obstructed by a  
verandah. After a night of terrible agony  
from pressure, heat, thirst, and lack of  
ventilation, there were only twenty-three  
survivors. One of the survivors published  
an account of that terrible night of suf- 
fering.  
General Winfield Scott is know as  
"Old Fuss and Feathers." He was very  
strict in his military discipline and es- 
pecially careful with regard to proper  
form and courtesy. He presented an ex- 
treme opposite in this matter to Zachary  
Taylor, who was fondly called by his  
men "Old Rough and Ready." On the  
hottest August days Scott compelled his  
men to wear full dress uniforms though  
they sweltered in the heat.  
Liberia is a negro republic in Africa  
founded during Monroe's administration 
for the purpose of colonizing the freed  
negro slaves from America which were  
being emancipated by humanitarian move- 
ments of the time. It is interesting to note 
that these freed slaves and their posterity  
set up a system of slavery in Liberia and  
that the League of Nations recently con- 
demned them for keeping other negroes  
enslaved.  
The Bibliotheque Nationale, the  
French national library, is the largest  
in the world. It has over two and one  
half million books besides another half  
million coins, manuscripts, and engrav- 
ings. Its origin dates back to 1367. In   

one copy of every work printed in France  
should be deposited in the national li- 
brary.  
Lindberg was not the first man to  
fly across the Atlantic ocean. It had  
been flown several times by others. His  
fame rests on the fact that he crossed  
the Atlantic alone and that he crossed by  
non-stop flight a longer route than had 
been followed before. Then too, there  
was a great interest in such a project be- 
cause of the growing enthusiasm over  
aviation. Lindberg's conduct served to  
heap even greater honor on him.  
Peggy O'Neil was a notorious  
character who became a political problem  
in Andrew Jackson's administration. Her  
father was an inn-keeper, and Peggy ac- 
quired a rather shady reputation. She later  
married one of the cabinet members who  
was a very dear friend of Jackson's.  
Jackson, thinking Peggy was libeled, at- 
tempted to usher her into good standing  
in Washington society, but the doughty  
old hero who had severely beaten the  
British at New Orleans succumbed before  
the attack of the Washington women who  
would not associate with this disreputable  
inn-keeper's daughter. As a result of the  
social battle Jackson's cabinet was split  
and Calhoun's chances for the presidency  
were ruined.  
Timbuctu is an ancient city of  
Northen Africa. It is located in the south- 
ern part of the Sahara and is accessible  
to the outside world by means of the  
Niger river. The Portuguese as early as  
the sixteenth century discovered this 
magical city.  
OLD SOUTH HALL  
(Continued from page one)  
The young men's self-improvement club  
is a weekly event that is always antici- 
pated with interest.  A  study of parlia- 
mentary rules, impromptu talks, music and  
reading programs, mission pictures and  
talks, debates, and many other such pro- 
grams are given.  
South hall teaches how to fit in with  
the crowd—how to associate with others  
and to be able to "get along" with them.  
It has been said that before one can be  
a good leader he must learn to be a good  
follower. All cannot be leaders, but they  
can learn to co-operate with those that  
are at the head. And it is those backing  
the leaders that really cause a movement  
to have an influence. When one hundred  
twenty young men live together they  
must learn to co-operate, and this is one  
of life's greatest lessons one must learn.  
By precept and example habits of  
health, neatness, and regularity are taught  
which will stay with the students through  
life and will form the basis for new habits  
that will be formed later.  
South hall can indeed be called a real  
home for any young man who is prepar- 
ing for future work in the world-wide  
field of service, and will welcome any  
young men who wishes to live in an at- 
mosphere that is in keeping with true  
Christian living.  
"Being sick is twice as depressing if  
your ailment has an ugly name."  
"Some people are pleasantly unhappy."  

POET  
(Continued from page one)  
that the Holy Spirit only ministered to 
the Trinity. However, he was by no  
means an irreligious man, but through life  
he enacted a tragedy—and one of the  
deepest.  
"His interest in human business was  
great, but 'he despised the supercilious  
air.' At one time he went to dine with  
a man of the nobility. This man gave a  
dinner, and had Burns eat in the kitchen.  
Then at the end of the meal he had the  
poet come in to sing. Burns looked  
straight at his host and began,  
'Is there for honest poverty  
Wha kings his head and a' that?  
The rank is but the guinea's stamp; 
The man's the gowd for a' that.'  
and again, pointing at the nobleman,  
'Ye see On birkie (young fellow)  
ca'd 'a lord'  
Wha struts an' stares, and' a' that?  
Tho' hundreds worship at his word,  
He's but a cuif (fool) for a' that.'  
"Burns gives two pictures of himself,  
one comic, and one serious. The comic,  
airy side is shown in, 'Contented wi' Lit- 
tle.' The serious mood is shown in 'A  
Bard's Epitaph' in which he describes  
himself thus:  
'The poor inhabitant below  
Was quick to learn and wise to know,  
And keenly felt the friendly glow  
And softer flame;  
But thoughtless follies laid him low  
And stained his name."  
"A young man who was trying to be  
very superior was abashed by Burns'  
breaking out 'No more of your titled ac- 
quaintances boast." He could also com- 
pliment, as he did once when seated by a  
beautiful but embarassed young lady at  
church. She was searching for the text  
in which was to be found the basis of the  
preacher's denunciation. He took her Bible  
and wrote a few lines of poetry, telling  
her that the text was meant for sinners  
and not for angels such as she."  
Dr. Aiken told the story of those words  
- 0 wad some power the giftie gie us to  
see oursels as ithers see us!" Burns wrote  
them after he had observed in church one  
day a louse crawling over the fine bonnet  
of a proud and aristocratic lady.  
The speaker brought home to Ameri- 
cans the message of Burns when he told  
that in Denver, Colorado, is a statue of  
Burns, while in Scotland there is a statue  
of Abraham Lincoln. "The social gospel 
of the former was embodied in the latter,"  
Dr. Aiken said. "After all, Scotland and  
Denver are not so far apart. The lives  
of both show the oneness of all."  
Dr. Aiken, who came to America from  
Scotland at the age of twenty-four, was  
eminently fitted to interpret Robert Burns  
to his audience. His enthusiasm and love  
for the poet and his poetry carried the  
audience with him as he described the in- 
stances for the inspiration of Burns' most  
loved poems.  
"Even the wisest men go at life some- 
what blindly—they admit they can't quite  
solve the riddle."  
"If we could be convicted for our  
thoughts, we'd all be in the penitentiary."  

WORK  
(Continued from page one)  
The story of Ruth furnished the basis  
for William Barclay's talk on "Friend-  
ship" at the Fremont church Sabbath  
morning. Mr. Barclay also sang for the  
Sabbath school, accompanied by Clinton  
von Pohle. In the afternoon Ralph Cash  
conducted a Bible study on Daniel 7, us- 
ing charts which pictured the four beasts.  
One of the oldest members of the Fre-  
mont church, J. P. Peterson, is very ill.  
The group visited him and had a season  
of prayer with him. A visit was also made  
to a Mr. White, who took his stand a few  
weeks ago, but who has not yet been able  
to meet with the company of believers  
there,  
At Cortland Lowell Welch spoke on  
"Religious Liberty," and was assisted by  
Gideon Krueger. These two young men  
conduct services at Cortland every Sab- 
bath.  
In spite of disagreeable weather, a good  
attendance is reported at Seward, where  
Pastor M. J. Sorenson presented the sub- 
ject of "The Temptation of Christ in the  
Wilderness,"  
The group going to Blair included  
Henry Preston, who had charge of the  
service there, Mr. and Mrs. Ned gresee,  
Mrs. K. 0. Nelson, (Mrs. Bresee's  
mother), and Clinton von Pohle. Mr.  
Bresee preached on John 3:14, 15. Mrs.  
Bresee sang a special song. In the after- 
noon the party visited Mrs. Bonine, an  
old lady, and sang for her. Mr. Bresee  
will assist at both Fremont and Blair in  
the future.  
Ben Dupper, who is now assisting in  
the services at Beatrice and Fairbury,  
spoke to a large number at Fairbury on  
Revelation 22:12. Canis Lauda sang, 
accompanied by  Mrs.  Lauda. Following  
the service, two personal visits were made  
to the sick. Sunday evening services have  
been requested by the people.

GETTING OUT A PAPER  
Getting out a paper is no picnic.  
If we are rustling news we are not at- 
tending to business in our department.  
If we stay on the job we ought to be  
out rustling news.  
If we publish things from other papers,  
we are too lazy to write.  
If we print original matter they say we  
lack variety.  
If we print jokes folks say we are silly. 
If we don't they say we are too seri- 
ous.  
If we don't print contributions, we don't  
show appreciation.  
If we do print them, the paper is filled  
with junk.  
Like as not some fellow will say we  
swiped this from an exchange.

"Some of us might find happiness if we  
would quit struggling so desperately for  
it.''  
"No man ever exposed himself to  
trouble without getting more than he ex- 
pected."  
"Some people seem to get a good deal  
out of life by not expecting too much."
