SEMINAR PLANS MADE Meets on First Friday Evening With Attendance of About Eighty The Gospel Workers' Seminar for this year started off with enthusiasm, the first meeting, held the first Friday evening of the school year, having an attendance of about eighty. The officers for last year were in charge, Lowell Welch leading out. He told the new members of the nature and scope of the work done by the seminar in the past year, relating the story of its remarkable growth during the past two years. Mr. Welch stated that the Gospel Workers' seminar was originally organ- ized by young men who were studying to be ministers and that the membership was less than twenty. During the past two years, he said, the seminar has be- come a training camp for gospel workers of all classes—sunshine workers, minis- terial students, prospective Bible workers, colporteurs, and others. In fact, he ex- plained, the seminar is the sponsor of all the different lines of missionary ac- tivity in the school. During this first meeting of the school year, plans were laid for organization for the year's work. A committee was chosen from the floor to nominate a staff of officers for this semester. Those chosen for the committee were Ruth Wiest, Hen- ry Preston, Lowell Welch, James Gaitens, and Russell Valentine. Special music was provided by Wil- liam Barclay, who sang a solo, accom- panied at the piano by Clinton von Pohle. Donald Hartwell led the congre- gational singing. The next meeting of the seminar will be held Friday evening at seven o'clock. TEACHERS RETURN AFTER YEAR AWAY Schilling, Jorgensen, Larimore Are Back to Union Six instructors are again active on Un- ion's faculty this year after an absence of one year. Three of these were on a year's leave of absence, during which they did advanced study in their respec- tive fields. Professor Harold K. Schilling, who has been head of the physical science de- partment for a number of years, has re- turned from a year spent in studying toward his doctor's degree at the Uni- versity of Iowa, Iowa City. Professor Ogden, assistant in the department, took over much of the instructional work dur- ing his absence. Professor Guy C. Jorgensen, head of the biological science department, has been studying at the University of Ne- braska, Lincoln. His work involved a great deal of time spent in laboratory experimentation. He plans to qualify fully for his doctor's degree by next summer. Professor Marvin Knoll, who is now at Loma Linda, taught biological science during the past year. Professor D. G. Hilts, assistant pro- fessor of English at Union for a number of years, spent the past year's leave of absence in specialized study in the field of library science. He took work both at the University of Nebraska and at the University of Illinois. Others who are again active on the faculty after a year away are Miss Ruby Lea, Professor C. C. Engel, and Profes- sor T. R. Larimore. Miss Lea, after sev- eral years as registrar of Union college, was compelled by ill health to take a year's rest and recuperation. She returns this year from spending the past eleven months at Portland, Oregon. Mrs. James Oss served as registrar last year in the absence of Miss Lea. Professor C. C. Engel, who was in- structor in violin and head of the music department for many years, is again tak- ing charge of the violin and orchestra work at the college. Mrs. Gwendolyn Hayden, who taught violin last year, has gone to the coast with her husband, who plans to study medicine there. Union col- lege is fortunate to be able to fill the vacancy with one who has had such long and successful experience as a member of the teaching staff in past years. Professor Lariinore, who has been studying at the University of Illinois, Urbana, has again been asked to join the faculty of Union college as head of the department of commerce. Professor Lari- more filled the same position in the year 1929 to 1930. He has received his mas- ter's degree from the University of Illinois and has done considerable work toward a doctor's degree. While studying there he did instructional work as an assistant in the department of commerce.

HALL Union College Draws Students This Year From Twenty Different States and Three Foreign Countries The forty-first year of Union college began September 14, with an enrolment that, in spite of the general depression and the small enrolment in other schools, is only nineteen less than the registration at the same time last year. A large num- ber of last year's students are again "pursuing" knowledge through Union's halls, and their number is augmented in part by some whose first year at Union is just beginning. The new South hall dean, Mr. C. W. Kime, has entered into his official duties in connection with the care of more that a hundred boys who are living in that home. From North hall Miss Pearl Rees reports that she has about ninety-five girls living there. A list of the students enrolled in the college courses, arranged by states, fol- lows.

L. Andreasen, who gave the students hints on starting the new school year right. "The right spiritual atmosphere should be one of the first things to be devel- oped," the president said. "One should not take a sudden interest in the religious life of the school when the Week of Prayer comes, but should have that in- terest at the start and carry it along all through the year. If one has an oppor- tunity to take part in some service, do not let it go by. In a school that has the religious principles that this one has there are many religious organizations to which one may belong, and one may feel free to take a part in their work. "The attitude which one takes toward his school work at the beginning often has an influence over the rest of the school year. If some subject seems hard, that is the one to tackle first and work the hardest on. Often it is not best to follow the line of least resistance. It is the 'I can' spirit that develops the win- ners; so take something hard and then master it." President Andreasen continued with suggestions as to one's social conduct. "Everyone wants to respect himself," he said, "but he cannot do it if he knows that he is doing something that is not exactly right. One way to keep on the right side is to choose right companions. The people with whom a student asso- ciates at school often become life friends, and they are the ones that have the greatest influence on one's character here at school. Choose the right companions," he admonished the students, "and be honest with all."

VI COLLEGE VIEW, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, SEPTEMBER 24, 1931 No. 1 The Call Is For Leaders BY President Andreasen If the world ever needed leadership it needs it now. Diplomats their theories overthrown, and bankers and financiers are groping and rulers in every land are perplexed at the conditions they are facing, and uncertain as to their future course. Economists are having their way in the dark. Debt cancellation and the dole are specters making statesmen uneasy; and war preparation, the depression, and excessive taxes are making even common people think. The world is in turmoil and crying out for a Moses to lead them out of Egyptian darkness into the promised land. Has God no message for a time like this? Before the flood came a definite voice was heard. Before Samaria and Jerusalem fell, God sent his messengers. When Christ was about to appear, a herald was sent before Him to prepare the way. When the corruption of the church had reached its climax, a Savanarola and a Luther arose. When the great clock of heaven announces the hour of God's judg- ment. is there no answering message to go to earth's millions, making clear to them the meaning of things happening? Before the fall of Babylon a hand appeared, writing certain symbols on the wall. None of the wise men could interpret the writing. The same hand is now writing; and to God's people is given the wonderful privilege of interpreting the message. None of the wise men can do it. As in former times the king and his companions were "greatly troubled" so that even the king's "countenance was changed," so now the nations of the world are greatly troubled, wondering what these things mean. Shall none interpret to them the meaning of the times? Is there no Daniel to speak for God? There is. But even as Daniel was not an accident, but a product of years of training, so now. Christian leadership is not an accident. It is the result of a seemingly slow process of religious education. The supreme hour in Christian opportunity has come. The time for the Christian young man has fully arrived. God is writing; who is able to interpret? Who can stand before kings as God's mouthpiece? Who, unmoved by the feasting and revelry within and the military tumult without, will declare God's counsel to a world on the brink of eternity? God calls for leaders. Who will answer and be willing to pay the price? Music Department Finds Prospects Encouraging BY FERRYL GARVIN The Union college music department is beginning this school year well or- ganized and strong. Prospects for its ad- vancement are encouraging, and a marked interest in the entire department has been snown oy, stuuents aireaay. The class in vocal ensemble is to :lave sixteen members and accompanist this year. The men's and women's glee clubs are to be much improved by new plans of organization and will be formed soon. The chorus will prepare a cantata to be given possibly the latter half of] the year. Mr. Ledington has charge of these or- ganizations, and Mrs. Ledington teaches voice. Work in orchestra and band has be- gun under the direction of Mr. Engel. Mr. Gernet, is organizing a class in sym- phony playing, an idea which has never been used before in Union college. Many more opportunities will be given the music students to appear in public than there have been in the past. Union feels, fortunate in having music instructors who are specialists, each in his own par- ticular phase of music. Usual Enthusiasm Shown In Opening of Academy BY HELMET WAKEHAM The Union college academy opened its forty-first year with the usual enthusiasm With the exception of Miss Keith's being ransferred to the college, the faculty is the same as last year. Mildred Rhoads ana 1\".rs. L. - rogue are substiamng for Miss Kieth. Mrs. Pogue teaches English I and II. This change is only temporary, as Miss Keith is expecting to return to the academy as a regular member of the faculty next year. Quite a number of new students have enrolled this year: Georgiana Payne, Lola Harlan, Jean Bicek, Bernice Grimes, Olivia Wakeham, Olive Gillaspie, Edith Elliot, Irene Post, Buford Black, Lucile Marker, Jack Schroeder, Edna Welch, Virginia Carr, James Rodney, Elin Olson, Williard Bresec, Lillie Schmale, Harry Roedell—eighteen in all. With these, twenty-two old students have registered, making a total of forty to date. We are glad to see so many new stu- dents come to take the place of the large graduating class of last spring. There are still a number of chapel seats in the academic section unoccupied. By ADA Well, well, Mother Union, here we all are back again! To some of us it is the most natural thing in the world, and to others it is a brand new experi- ence comparable to a new pair of shoes (the pinching part), a new watch (the shiny part), or the first dose of cod liver oil (the worst part). Life's like that, isn't it, Mother Un- ion? Occasionally something new stimu- lates our interest temporarily and then we level off again to ordinary routine affairs. The level part is the part that takes up most of our lives. Yet we who are having merely "an- other year" at college ought not to let it be level. It ought to be obliquely up- ward. Don't you feel, Mother Union, that there is something fresh, and exhilarat- ing, and admirable about a person who goes about old affairs in a perfectly new way? It's interesting for you to look down on us all, isn't it, and see us all gathered WILLIAMS here. At the beginning your sympathize with the one who comes in with a bitter curve on her lips and you laugh with us who arc so glad to be back, recalling other days when we were also first sent to college, some of us against our wills. So here we all are. The name of Union has inspired loyal young men and wo- men for forty years. We are here to carry on, Mother Union, and to leave even a better record than before. We are laughed at because of our foolish, young ideas, but we arc sincere and willing to learn. Most of all we want to learn kindness, Christian kindness that makes us generous to others and strict with ourselves, that silences our tongues and blinds our eyes to the faults of others, and that speeds us on our God's mission: "Go ye into all the world." We hope that the Hand that has guid- ed you. Mother Union, will guide every one of us into more earnest, thoughtful service for you and for God as we begin the forty-first year of Union's life. MISS LUTZ ELECTED AN INTELLIGENT FAITH IS NEEDED To Assist in Home Economics at Wash- ington Missionary College Miss Katherine Lutz, a member of last spring's senior class, has been elected to the faculty of Washington Missionary college, Washington, D. C., where she will assist in the home economics de- partment. During the school year 1928- 29 Miss Lutz taught home economics in the Union college academy, which ex- perience will undoubtedly be of great val- ue to her in her new responsibility. She has spent the summer at Ames, Iowa, tak- ing advanced work. Miss Lutz came to Union in 1927, hav- ing finished high school at her home school, Holton, Kansas. While at Union she has had a prominent part in the school activities, having had among other responsibilities that of editing the fortieth anniversary Golden Cords, declared by many to be the outstanding annual pub- lished at Union in many years. Other editorial positions she held while here were that of assistant editor of the Gold- en Cords in 1928, associate editor in 1930, and special writer for the CLOCK TOWER in 1931. Miss Lutz took part in musical organi- zations of the school during her course here, being at different times secretary and president of the Treble Clef club and also being a member of the alto section of the Sabbath school choir. In North hall Miss Lutz was a member of the house committee in 1927-28 and in 1930-31. She also took an active part in the work of the Gospel Workers' seminar, having the leadership of one of the sunshine bands. Miss Lutz left her home at Holton, Kansas, early in the month for Washing- ton, where she took up her new work immediately. Andreasen, in Opening Address, Stresses Both Spiritual and Intellectual Growth SAYS END IS NEAR President Asserts This is a Day of Privilege for the Young People of this Denomination In the words - A higher and still higher intellectuality and spirituality'' President M. L. Andreasen struck the keynote of his aims for Union in his opening address of the school year, given Wednesday evening in the first general convocation. President Andreasen declared himself un- equivocally for a thorough intellectual training as an essential adjunct to a deep spiritual experience. In a brief survey of world conditions, he showed that the prophecies of "peril- ous times" which this denomination has been preaching for these many years are meeting their fulfilment and that this world and this nation are facing crises the outcome of which are uncertain ex- cept as seen in the light of revelation. The president's message was a chal- lenge to the youth of this denomination, the youth who are gathered together in such schools as Union, to meet the crisis well prepared. He said, "We are witness- ing today the most significant thing that has happened in years; namely, the dis- integration of Protestantism. The most ser- ious conditions are not social, economic, or political, but religious. I cannot help believing that it is God's will to use this people as a nucleus for a great movement for the salvaging of true Protestantism. It is not Catholicism, nor paganism, that is overthrowing faith in the fundamental teachings of the Bible, but Protestantism saturated with Modernism." President Andreasen stated that the need of the hour is an intelligent faith, for no other can be adequate. In this ronnerfinn Lo etnhpri his vimve nn in- tellectual and scholastic standards, affirm- ing that he believed that the intellectual training given in denominational schools should in no sense come behind that given in worldly schools, but should be even better, considering the fact that those who teach the sciences in these schools have a broader vision, a vision which sees not merely the science but also the great Author of all science. Concerning the administrative policy for the year, he announced no changes from the plans in force, stating that his purpose was to build on the foundation laid by those who have, through the years, worked to build up this college. Speaking of the financial depression which of necessity touches the school, he expressed his confidence that God in His providence would provide for the carrying on of His work and that this year can and will be truly successful. SEVERAL ARE NEW ON UNION'S FACULTY Bible and Language Departments Adding New Instructors Mr. Rufus Roy, a graduate of Union college, who has spent a term of for- eign mission service in South America, has been asked to join the Union col- lege faculty as an instructor in the de- partment of Bible, filling the vacancy left by Professor H. U. Stevens' death some weeks ago. President Andreasen will also teach two classes in the de- partment. Mrs. Margaret Miller-Christiansen, al- so a Union college graduate, is this year connecting with the modern language de- partment as instructor in Spanish during the absence of Miss Lulu Blanche Hiatt, head of the department, who is doing advanced study this year. Miss Marie Olson is also assisting in the depart- ment, having charge of the lower divi- sion French classes. Mrs. Christiansen, with her husband, Harold B. Christian- sen, has spent some time in foreign mis- sion work in South America, which ex- perience in the conversational use of Spanish will undoubtedly be of great value to her and to her classes during the year's study of that language. Mrs. Margie Burroughs, wife of Charles Burroughs, of the home mission- ary department of the Central Union con- ference, has been asked to teach in the department of commerce this year. She will be instructor in typewriting and shorthand. Mrs. Burroughs was a mem- ber of the last year's graduating class, taking majors in both the department of commerce and the department of educa- tion. Mrs. Woten, who is to teach the wo- men's classes in physical education, will be remembered as formerly Miss Lilian Rochambeau, who has taught in that de- partment in the past. Miss Fairy Pettey, who came to Union last year as North hall nurse, will teach the classes in home nursing this year. Mrs. James Oss, who acted as regis- trar last year in the absence of Miss Ruby Lea, is this year assisting in the department of history and political sci- ence. Miss Linnie Keith, last year instructor in secondary English and Spanish, is this year assisting in the college English department, teaching several literature classes in the absence of Professor T. A. Little, who is studying this year in an eastern university. Miss Mildred Rhoads is taking her place this year in the sec- ondary Spanish department. Mrs. L. Pogue has been asked to teach secondary English. RECEPTION IS HELD Old Teachers and Students Welcome The New in Chapel Program The annual faculty reception was given in the administration building Saturday night, September 19. The receiving line was headed by Lowell Welch and Fran- kie Dearborn, who represented the stu- dent group. A program was given in the chapel after the students and their friends had been presented to the faculty mem- bers. The first number on the program was given by Mr. Sterling Gernet, instruc- tor in piano. He played "Rigalette Vari- ations," an arrangements by Liszt. Mrs. Ledington followed this number with two songs. Jeanette McKibben, who attended Union two years ago, gave a short talk "Why I Returned to Union." The response to James Gaitens' ad- dress of welcome to the young men was given by Louis Pettis. Dorothy Ault- father welcomed the young women. Lu- cille Terry responded for the young women. The fourteen new faculty members were welcomed by Pastor B. L. House. Seven of the new members are return- ing to the faculty, while seven are new to the faculty and the school. President Andreasen responded to this welcome. He expressed gratitude and appreciation for the spirit of co-operation and wel- come that has been shown by students and faculty members. Mrs. D. G. Hilts, of the speech de- partment, read "The Finger of God," and violin solo by Professor Engel con- cluded the program. "The Christian mind sees the cross as the center of the Christian religion and as the center of the moral universe, and glories in it as such." "Men and fish get into trouble be- cause they do not keep their mouths shut.--Hunter.

Barn! "What this time"? or "I wish these could be put back into the rooms," were some of the many excla- mations uttered as someone ran into the furniture placed in the hall while the newly varnished floor. was drying, or "Isn't this ready to be used yet - ? as another looked disappointedly up the stairway upon being told that she must use the other stairs. But of course these were usual preliminaries to the opening of school. Besides a thorough cleaning in North hall, which included cleaning the rooms, washing and ironing hall, stairway, and worship room curtains, beating rugs and mattresses, washing windows, etc., many repairs and purchases were made previous to the opening of school. The broken furniture was repaired, the floors of all the rooms and stairways were varnished, first, second, and third floor halls were laquered and waxed and several rooms were repainted. Five new dressers, four new beds, and eighteen new tables were purchased for the girls' rooms. Material has been bought and new curtains are being made for the lobby. A stool, given to the girls by Mrs. P. L. Thompson, has been recovered and placed in the large parlor. In South hall, besides the cleaning that has been done and the waxing of the first floor linoleum, new inlaid linoleum has been laid in the hallway and on the stairs just before the entrance of the dining room. In the dining room itself many improvements have been made. The curtains have been washed and ironed, the tray tables and carts var- nished, and the linoleum laid last fall was varnished and waxed. In the sery - ing room the decks were painted and the wood work and floors thoroughly cleaned. New oil cloth and curtains were purchased for the work room. A few improvements have also been made in the administration buiiding. Room 408, the principal Enylish class- room, has recently had the ceilir t .j re- plastered and the traditional leak in the r( of ap.-..ently fixed. Miss Ccuch's class room, Rcorn 204, has bee-: paiotod, the chemist' laboratory has been redecorat- ed, and the floors of the building have been cleaned and oiled. The classrooms of the normal training building have also been redecorated re- cently. "If only for the looks of the thing, let us whine as little as possible." "It is better to fail preaching success than to succeed preaching failure." "Few men know more than they pre- tend to." David Cited As Example Of Zeal for God's Work President M. L. Andreasen, of Union college, addressed the congregation of the College View church last Sabbath morn- ing on the life of David as an example of willing service to God. "God virtually said of David 'I like tliat man.' That was because he did his duty cheerfully," he said. "May it be that we shall do cheerfully what He asks us to do. Then it may be that He shall say of this church, 'I like that church!' "1 used to wonder why God could call c•; sinner like David a man after His own heart. It is remarkable that He could even forgive him. But God said He loved David. If God loved David, sinful as he was, there is no reason why He should not love us, and we may be sure that He does. "Since studying David's life, I think I have learned why he could be called a man after God's own heart. When David had built a magnificent house for Hornell, he said, 'Mow I will build a house for God.' Because David was a (Ilan of war, God denied him the privilege of building the temple, but told him that his son, a man of peace, might build it. Not content to do as little as possible, but desirous of doing all he might be permitted to do, David asked permission to do one part after another of the work until he had made the plans (with God's help), prepared and arranged the material in readiness for the construction of the temple. "What would happen if we should all say 'I know that ten dollars is my Harvest Ingathering goal, but will it be all right if I get fifteen, and then, having reached the fifteen dollars, raise it again and again until we had done all we could? "Too many engage in such work sim- ply because they think they must. Our credit on the heavenly record shows not how much we do, but how willingly we do it. God loves a cheerful giver, both of goods and of service." 0 Sam Werner, one of last year's stu- dents, visited Union over the week-end. Mr. Werner is making his colporteur's delivery this week, after having been for some time at his thome in Colorado. Clarence Johnson, one of last year's graduates, is taking advanced work in the field of economics at the University of Nebraska. Emil Fick visited frends at South hall Sabbath. 0 "Behind every successful man are eight or nine fellows who'll admit they made him." Seminar Young Men Report On Summer's Work During the summer some of the young men, who last year took homiletics and who during the school year had charge of small churches in towns near Lincoln, have been engaged in evangelistic work assisting in evangelistic tent meetings and having charge of the music. These men come back to school this year en- thusiastic over their summer's work and ready to take up their work in the small churches again this winter. In the following symposium several of these young men tell of their experi- ences. Others will doubtless report their experiences in later issues of the paper. Group of Fourteen Baptized BY WALTER HOWE In writing of my experience this sum- mer I hardly know just where to begin. In the first place I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of my work. When one's work is enjoyment to him, then the work ceases to be work as the word is commonly understood.. After commencement last May I drove the rest of the night and went directly to the city where I was to work. I was to meet Pastor Varner Johns, the evangelist with whom I was associated, by ten o'clock Monday morning. I arrived there before that time and after looking up an Adventist home there, changed clothes and went to the location of the tent. The tent and seats had already been delivered; so there I' was in the middle of a vacant lot with a tent and some seats. All the youngsters in that end of town came asking just what kind of tent show was going in there. After chatting a while with the boys I dropped off to sleep (thanks to some good canvas). The next thing I knew was when Pastor Johns pulled my sleeve and was shaking me trying to waken me. By afternoon we had the big tent and my little tent up. And then began the interesting part of my work. Although this was my second summer as an assistant in evangelistic work, it was my first as a tent master. And the most interesting part of it was that every night for the first week and a half it rained. Obviously, I had to get out and loosen ropes, and between that and wor- rying over every balmy zephyr that blew, I was nearly frantic by the end of the first two weeks. Things were getting well under way when , same a fierce -clectriccrl—otomr-ef.'-‘e night about one o'clock. Jess Storrs, who made his headquarters with me, was out helping me do my duty as a "loyal" tentmaster. The lightning was cracking all about us and finally struck a house right near us. It made things exciting for a while. The spiritual benefit that I derived from helping others see Christ was a great blessing to me. Also, being with Brother Johns gave me a great deal of experience that I had heretofore not had. One lady who was baptized came from the Catholic church. After her baptism she attended camp meeting, and to see her intense love for this message and her zeal to learn more of it is an example to anyone. Our success was not phenomenal, but was good. Fourteen were baptized and several were received by profession of faith. My enjoyment in the service of my King could not be greater in any other type of Work. We have now a fine little church at Perry. They are meeting in a rented church, and when I left last week they had raised considerably more than $40 toward their goal in Harvest Ingathering. Tentmaster Must Be Versatile BY VERNON BECKER Those having never been connected with tent meetings may be surprised to know the many dealings and duties of a "becoming preacher." The assistant evan- gelist, that having been my work for two summers, will be called upon to do a hundred and one duties aside from the fact that he may have to cook his own meals. Being a tentmaster as well as assistance evangelist, it was necessary for me to live in a small "family" tent without the family—pitched next to the large pavilion tent. Practically all the knowledge I had ever gained was put to use and it would have been easy to have used more. I had never taken a course in sign painting, but after printing (with bold faces) a few nights' subjects on the bill board put in fornt of the tent for that purpose, I soon discovered that even that could be , learned. I also learned that it was almost im- possible to sleep the entire night with- out being awakened by some peculiar noise, the noise not always a fleeting apparition, for it might be real. That would not be so bad if it did not call for action, but many times it did. If the noise should happen to be a rain storm it would then be necessary to get out of bed and loosen all the ropes for fear that they would break or cause the canvas- to tear. Strange as it may seem, it is much more comfortable to lie in bed. It isn't at all a surprising experience to have the wind tear down your canvas house. I met this experience unexpectedly one afternoon. After taking an inventory of my household, I found only a hat missing, which was not needed at that time. We had as our caller one young man claiming to be a cousin of Jesse James. His appearance helped verify this state- ment, but we soon discovered he was lacking in other respects—mostly in the mind. He carried an extended knife blade which didn't look at all good to me. Sometimes it is necessary for the evan- gelist to play the part of policeman in protecting the camp. However, many thrills are connected with a series of meetings. It is always a great joy to see indivduals take their stand for right. It is then that the workers for God feel repaid manyfold for their work for others. Personal Work Is Important BY CARTS LAUDA Leaving Union college early in June we drove to Osceola, Iowa, where we were to associate with Pastor James Rhoads as associate evangelist and music directors in an evangelistic effort there. It was a difficult thing for us to find a suitable place for our tent. A week was used in locating one, and this proved to be an ideal spot for the tent. The old tourist park was used, which is located in the central part of the city. A large two-pole tent and a small living tent were pitched, and, best of all, a small building was given to us for use, which proved to great advantage to us in storms. Sunday night, June 13, our meetings began. The tent was full, and a good interest in the meetings was shown. Meet- ings were held every night except Wed- nesday and Saturday. After a few weeks of meetings, a number of interested peo- ple were visited. Bible readings and per- sonal work proved to be a great advant- age in reaching the hearts of the people. During the first thirty minutes of each service Mrs. Lauda and I took charge of the-song service, also furnishing special music. Every Sabbath little isolated churches were visited, and they were glad for the privilege of having a preach- er with them. After eight weeks of meetings it was necessary to pull stakes, for the large tent was needed for the campmeeting. The meetings proved a success, the Lord blessing us with new church members and with a great inspiration to press forward with this third angel's message. Attendance Reaches Two Thousand By BENJAMIN LEE HASSENFLUG The series of evangelistic meetings with which I was connected this last summer was held in Little Rock, Ar- kansas. Many people think of Arkansas as a foreign state. Maybe it is in some things, but when it comes to religion, Arkansas is as anxious to hear the true word of God as any other state. It is really inspiring to be assistant evangelist and tentmaster for as ener- getic a minister as Pastor E. G. Crosier, a former student of Union college. Our meetings started the seventh of June and continued for twelve weeks. The attendance the first night was about twelve hundred. We were glad for such a good start and our joy increased till we came to the fourth week of our meetings, when the attendance on Sunday nights had grown to about two thouand and week nights to about one thousand or more. We were made sorry, however, when a prolonged rain of twenty-one days came just at the time of the pre- sentation of the doctrine of keeping Saturday as the Sabbath. Both of these at the same time seemed unbearable to the public, so our crowds diminished to an average of four or five hundred each night. There is plenty of work in conducting a series of evangelistic meetings. I did not have a bit of trouble finding some- thing to do. For several weeks I aver- aged sixty calls a day besides having charge of the singing, keeping every- thing in order at the tent, and preaching occasionally. But it is a real joy to be connected with a work of this kind. As I witnessed the trials and struggles of those who made their decisions for the truth, my faith was strengthened and I was made to realize as never before that "the service of Jesus true pleasure affords." There are also many things to dis- courage one. The devil works, as well as the Lord, and when the Lord works it seems the devil works all the harder. Ministers of other churches condemned us, calling us liars, false prophets, hell- hounds, etc.; but in spite of all their fightings, the people kept on coming to the meetings. The Lord wonderfully blessed our ef- forts. When I left Little Rock the sixth of September, forty-nine persons had joined the church as a result of our work there and many more are planning to join later. We praise the Lord for this. I am glad for the rich experience I enjoyed this summer and am thankful that "the Lord's hand is not shortened but that He can save" His people in Arkansas. )W.K1' ,:11K (IDN 9 S DID N * -• :•> !.•.• „ DUNN-SIEBENLIST An attractive wedding took place in Boulder, Colorado, the evening of Aug- ust 30, when Miss Genevieve Dunn, from Lincoln, Nebraska, and Mr. Jake Siebenlist, from Nekoma, Kansas, were married. The parlor of the nurses' home at the sanitarium was prettily decorated for the occasion by the senior nurses' class with clusters of roses, palms, and autumn flowers. The center of decoration was a white arch covered with pink roses, under which the wedding took place. Before the ceremony, Miss Elinore Pettis, a junior nurse in the sanitarium, sang, "When Your Hair Has Turned to Silver. - Miss Orpha Johnson, of Boulder, played the "Bridal Chorus" from Lohen- grin while the clergyman and bridal party took their places, and furnished soft music during the short service. The bride was dressed in white silk crepe, and wore a white veil fastened with clusters of orange blossoms. Her bouquet was of white gladioli with spray and maiden-hair fern, tied with white satin ribbon. She was attended by her sister, Miss Leona, a junior nurse, as bridesmaid, and by her brother, Mr. Ver- non Dunn, of Union, who gave her in marriage. Mr. Benjamin Siebenlist at- tended his brother as best man. The marriage lines were read by Chap- lain Andress, of the Boulder sanitarium, in the presence of about seventy guests. Immediately following the wedding an in- formal reception was held in the parlor, and then Mr. and Mrs. Siebenlist left at once by motor for their home in Huntley, Nebraska. Both Mr. and Mrs. Siebenlist are well known to friends at Union. After com- pleting her academic course at Union in the class of '28, Mrs. Siebenlist entered at once upon her nurses' training and re- ceived her diploma from the sanitarium in Boulder but a few hours before her wed- ding. Mr. Siebenlist is a former Enterprise academy graduate, later spending four years at Union, where he took his degree with the class of '30. He is now entering upon his second year as instructor in the high school of Huntley. CURTIS-GIBSON At a pretty home wedding at four o'clock Wednesday afternoon, Septem- ber 2, Miss Veda Curtis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Curtis, of Campion, Colo- rado, became the bride of Lester Gib- son, of Lincoln, Nebraska. The house was attractive with a profusion of autumn flowers, and the bridal party took their places beneath a floral archway to the strains of the wedding march played by Miss Iva Whitacre, of Loveland. The ceremony was performed by the father of the bride. Miss Leona Dunn, of Boulder, and W. F. Gibson, of Salida, Colorado, brother of the groom, were at- tendants. The bride wore a frock of pink flowered crepe, and carried a bouquet o‘ pink roses. Miss Dunn wore blue flower crepe and had a bouquet of mixed flow ers. Only relatives of the couple and a few intimate friends witnessed the cere- mony. Following the wedding, refreshments were served, and Mr. and Mrs. Gibson left for a short wedding trip. The bride is a graduate of Campion academy and later attended Union col- lege. Mr. Gibson is a premedic graduate of Union. He is the son of Mrs. Mary Gibson, of Lincoln. Mr. and Mrs. Gibson will make their home in Boulder, Colorado, where Mr. Gibson is entering into business. Dissatisfaction Guaranteed "There are many ways," says one, "to make people leave you alone, but the following ten are the most effective I have practiced or heard about. 'I don't agree with you at all.' Insist upon starting an argument, when the other fellow is only saying something to make conversation. 'I don't like your friend.' Offer unsolicited critical comment about a man's friends or some member of his family. 'Anybody could do that." Mini- mize other people's accomplishments, especially those they are proud of. 'I know better.' Offer authorita- tive information on every topic that comes up in a crowd of folks trying to have a good time. The nearer right you are, the surer you are to be disliked. 'I'll tell you exactly where you failed.' Analyze your friends' mistakes and reverses when they are trying to forget them. 'As I was saying.' Insist on drag- ing in your favorite topic among people interested in something else. If you can give it an air of being a subject that the group are too stupid or too ignorant to follow, so much the better. 'I thought you were going to Remind people of promises they made impulsively, or out of good fellowship, but which you know they cannot keep. 'Let me show you how.' Insist on occupying the center of the stage. 'I used to think so, too, until —.' Throw a wet blanket on other people's enthusiasm. If you can make it appear that their taste is antiquated, you will emerge superior to them, and they will love you all the more. 'That is nothing but prejudice.' The surest way to succeed with this line is to pick at people's religious or patrio- tic sentiments." "The boss never asks you to worry and fret. That's your own idea. - PRUETT'S SANITARY BARBER SHOP High Class Barber Service of All Kinds Hair Cuts 35 Cents EDITORIAL STAFF . - Editor-in-Chief Sophia Van Buskirk • - Assistant Editor - Associate Editor Catherine Turner - - Assistant Editor - - - Associate Editor Everette Miracle • • - Assistant Editor AU REVOIR The next issue of the CLOCK TOWER will be published by the newly elected staff of 1931 to 1932. The outgoing publishers take this occasion to express sincere appreciation for the co-operation and sup- port the CLOCK TOWER has received during their term of office. First of all, we want to pass on a word of appreciation to our readers. If it were not for you there could be no CLOCK TOWER. It is for you that it exists. We thank you for your loyal support as sub- scribers and readers. Your comments and suggestions from time to time have helped us to make the paper whatever of good we have been able to make it. Your letters of appreciation have been an en- couragement to us in our efforts to make the CLOCK TOWER a true representative of Union college. Another class of people who are as necessary to the existence of our paper as readers is the advertisers. The co-operation of these many Lincoln and College View firms has done much toward the unprecedented financial success of the paper during the past year. It is expected that during the present school year, with the new plan which makes every student a subscriber, and with the continued large College View circulation, the CLOCK TOWER will be an even better advertising medium than ever. To the faculty members of Union we express gratitude for your encouragement, co-operation, and advice. Particular credit is due to our staff advisers, who have helped us out of many difficulties and have furnished the often needed guidance of more experienced minds. Then there are those who have done the hundred-and-one great or small, but important, tasks which are required in the publication of a school paper—the typists who have spent long hours hammering out "copy," the students who have run errands and chased copy, those who have led out in the subscription drives—to every one of these and the others who have helped to make the CLOCK TOWER a success we express our appreciation. The outgoing editor-in-chief wishes especially to thank the mem- bers of the staff, both of the winter and summer terms, who have given such faithful and capable assistance in the past twelve months' publication. We bespeak for the incoming staff the continued support of our constituency, and look forward to this year as a year of continued growth and development for the CLOCK TOWER, the voice of Union college.

FOUR YEARS AGO From Volume 1 of the Clock Tower "Miss Dorothy Foreman, assistant editor of the initial CLOCK TOWER staff and a 1927 junior, has been elected as preceptress at Campion academy. - - Every academy in the territory of Union college, which consists of the Cen- tral, Northern, and Southwestern unions, has a North hall girl as preceptress this year." "Misses Fae Cowin and Katherine Lutz are the North hall office girls this year. They are expected to greet visitors with a smile and make them want to come again. No doubt this will not be hard to do as far as visitors from South hall are concerned, and it is hoped that they will never get excited and call the wrong girl." "A daily subject of conversation is the condition of the front porch (South hall). Except for the fact that the banisters are gone, the roof leaks, the floor sags, the posts are rotten, and the steps are about to fall down, it is in a splendid state of repair." (It should encourage the pen and ink crusaders of 1927 to see the South hall porch of 1931.) "This is going to be one year that the preceptor is going to have nothing to do during study period. The cares of the home are committed to Henry Johnson, Lester Minner, and Bert McBroom. One of those fellows said last night that it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. - 0 New Officers Elected For the Sabbath School "Whether we want to see it or not, our missions as well as those of other denominations are facing a world crisis today," declared Mr. Gerald Minchin, who has spent two years in the Hawaiian islands, in his mission talk in Sabbath school last Sabbath morning. "Thirty thousand Protestant missionaries require fifteen hundred replacements annually," he said. "However, only seven hundred of these have been supplied each year recently. Many fields have not been en- tered as yet. Afghanistan, which has a population of eight million has many Moslem women who have not been reached with the gospel." Mr. Minchin gave some of the world needs and said that a sport activity takes up more space in the newspaper of to- day than the story of the Chinese flood in which twenty million people are near starvation. "The basis of missionary movement is 'Freely ye have received freely give.' Mr. Minchin reminded the Sabbath school that next Sabbath school is thirteenth Sabbath and urged this school to do its very best in advancing the work in Inter- America. Mr. Harold Lincoln gave a short talk on the purpose of the Sabbath school in Union college, urging every member to be a co-operating aggressive member this year. Miss Dorothy Aultfather read as the Scripture reading a portion of Psalms 25 and lead in prayer, asking God's blessing on this year's Sabbath school. Professor B. L. House, head of the Bible department, conducted the lesson study. At the close of the Sabbath school the nominating committee to choose the officers for the first semester was ap- pointed by Professor Guy Habenicht, the the sponsor for the summer Sabbath school. The committee selected to nominate of- ficers for the Sabbath school reported to the student body in chapel Monday, suggesting the following officers. The report was adopted as a whole. Superin- tendent, Jeanette McKibbon; assistant superintendent, Daniel McAdams; secre- tary, Robert Whitsett; assistant secretary, Sophia Van Buskirk; chorister, Arthur Bietz; pianist, Ada Townsend; assistant pianist, Chester Barger. ISN'T IT STRANGE Isn't it strange That a man who thinks he is a Business man Will get up in the morning From an advertised mattress, At the ring of an advertised alarm clock, Shave with an advertised razor, Put on advertised underwear, hose, shirt, collar, tie, and shoes, Seat himself at the table and eat adver- tised breakfast food, Drink advertised beverages, Smoke advertised cigars, Put on an advertised hat, Drive to work in an advertised car, Use advertised office furniture, Read all the advertisements in his mail, And then turn down advertising On the ground that It doesn't pay? —The Lancastrian.

Lucille Howe is acting as a substitute short service of singing, story telling, and teacher in the Des Moines, Iowa, schools. a short sermonette for the inmates. Added improvements have been made to the college gymnasium. A better drain- age system has been installed aroun dthe swimming pool. New showers are to be built soon. 0 HEARD IN SOUTH HALL Newcomers are learning that Mrs. Cook is our matron's real name and not a nickname. James Gaitens is the monitor on first floor in South hall. We wish him all the success in the world for if anyone needs it, he does. The girls in North hall have a number of nice new dressers. The boys of South hall wouldn't mind if they would give old ones. The great annual paw-paw came Sat- urday night. We mean the faculty re- ception or handshake. Just try and re- member all those queer names. Since Russell Atkinson and Everette Miracle have gone, the tennis crown has been rather in question. Surely they didn't take it with them. We must find a local head that can uphold it. Mr. Oss has ordered a dozen cars of coal already. He anticipates strikes and other delays this winter and wants to keep us warm and comfortable though all doesn't go well in the outside world. Someone asked what A. K. Phillips taught and what Professor Larimore was taking this year. They are just a year behind. A. K. taught last year and Pro- fessor Larimore "took"! (At a different place, lest anyone misunderstand.) The South hall boys had a good ball game the other night. It seemed like old times, only Professor Nelson wasn't in sight and Mr. Little and his hat were missing. Tell them we will crack a cou- ple of bats for them one of these days. FIRST VESPERS HELD Contrasts First and Last Sabbath Evenings of This World "The last Friday evening is soon com- ing, for we are standing just before the scenes of the last days," declared Presi- dent M. L. Andreasen at the first vesper service of the school year. "How differ- ent that evening will be from the first Friday evening of this earth's history. As Adam and Eve saw their first sun- set, they were instructed by angels con- cerning the Sabbath. God and His angels rested then, and revelation was given them of God's greatness." As a proof of his statement that the end is near, President Andreasen referred to the opinion expressed during a recent meeting of the world's leading financiers, "While we are now in a depression, something far worse is coming." The speaker stated that dark days are in God's providence, for they induce us to prayer, meditation, and heart searching. "The world has never seen such a time as this," President Andreasen de- clared. "God has given this people a vision so that we can understand the meaning of the times in which we are living. We are more fortunate that the prophets, who were not always able to understand what they wrote. Like Daniel, we can interpret the handwriting on the wall, and give warning of the coming destruction, "We are almost at the climax. Are we ready for whatever may come? Shall we be among those privileged to go home with Christ? "We need to give ourselves so un- reservedly to God that He can use us in that time to come. God will speak to the people through world conditions, and His people must be ready to inter- pret His message. God wants us to be ready for the work which He has for us to do. "The Adventist young people possess a wonderful privilege. We are told that young men and young women, and even young children, shall preach the message. Our young people must have their eyes on nothing else but Christ, and Him crucified. Prepare to have a place in His work. - "Our own personality reaches its transfiguration in the light of the holy majesty of the personal God, and its glory in voluntary submission to His control." Harry Craig, who has been ill for the last week, is much better and is able to be back on his beat as nightwatch- man. A SOUTH HALL 'CORRES- PONDENT' SAYS After all, there is no place like Union. Barclay is baking for us again this year. Union looks for a bigger and better year. Wrong Font is back at Union, and brought Walter Howe with him. The enrolment is almost as large as it was this time last year. Several of last year's students wish they could return to Union. Sam Werner was a week-end visitor at South hall. Two Scotchmen are rooming together in South hall. Must be a depression. Three Scotchmen have enrolled for Amer- can history. Looks like a gathering of the - Clans." The most interesting feature of William Barclay's trip to California was the sight of the "Clock Tower" as he neared Lincoln on the return trip. Clyde Bushnell is still speaking in ton- gues, although he promised the boys that he would speak nothing but Eng- lish this year. TEACHERS RETURN AFTER YEAR AWAY (Continued from page one) While two department heads, Miss Lulu Blanche Hiatt and Professor T. A. Little, professors of romance languages and English respectively, are this year on leave of absence, the return of these others will serve to keep up a strong teaching force here at Union. Union col- lege is doing all in her power to increase year by year the quality of the training of her teachers, which in turn will make for even stronger and more thorough courses, the kind of scholarship which is worthy of a college which professes the high purposes to which Union has been dedicated. Dorothy Vogel is teaching on the wes- tern slope in Colorado. Russell Flatten visited his sister, Grace, who is attending Union, on Sabbath. A group of young men are repairing the road leading past South hall on the cast side. Several employees and nurses from the Colorado Sanitarium at Boulder are at- tending Union this year. Miss Mildred Rhoads has taken two of the academic English classes in addition to her Spanish classes. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Nash and son, Bobby, of Malmo, Nebraska, visited their niece, Miss Arna Marley, Sabbath. Elmer Johnson and Maurice Olsen, former Unionites, are taking the dental course at the University of Nebraska. Mr. Malcolm Perkins returned to his home in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Sunday morning. He expects to return for the second semester. In chapel Monday morning a large number volunteered to enter singing bands for Harvest Ingathering. Similar groups did very effective work last year.
