No. 6 SACRIFICE IN GIVING URGED S. A. Wellman, of the General Conference, Holds Sabbath School Council EMPHASIZES NEEDS Speaker Tells of Work in Northern European Division and Its Mission Fields Declaring that the objective of the Sabbath school is first and always to help people - know Christ," Pastor S. A. Wellman, General Conference associate secretary of the Sabbath School department, spoke at the eleven o'clock church service on Sabbath as part of a convention held in College View over the week-end. The speaker drew a comparison be- tween the work of the word of God on the heart and the power certain chemicals possess to form different substances by mere contact, asserting that change of heart is brought about by personal daily study, which teaches habitual, daily contact with the Mas- ter. Pastor Wellman said in part: "We cannot have and retain and hold with- out giving. If the knowledge one gains is selfishly retained it eventually dies; if pased on, it accomplishes much. "As the result of a year's labor in the South Sea Islands, one worker led over two thousand souls to God. The British officer who had visited the island occasionally and under armed guard, was astonished because former safety measures were no longer nec- essary and exclaimed, 'A miracle has been performed.' Devotion Gets Results "A few months ago a boy in Haiti was sent from an Adventist school up into the interior to work among the devil worshipers. Upon arriving he found hundreds waiting to hear the word. One of the first things he did as a means of promoting Bible study in the whole community was to or- ganize a Sabbath school. There were only ten or fifteen who could read, and these he stationed at certain places where, at six o'clock each morning, the people came from far and near to memorize the texts so that by Sabbath practically every one had a perfect record. "According to statistics, Sabbath school donations in 1900 were fifty cents per member, or less than one cent a week. Compared with that the 1932 report showed nearly four dol- lars per member in the one year for the whole world field, including mis- sion lands. "An instance of the way some con- verts in Lucknow, India, learned to give is valuable. Believing that to be like Christ they must give as he had done, certain girls in the school there —girls with neither homes nor money —felt the urge to sacrifice. They in- sisted that only one meal a day be served them and that the saving be set aside for offerings. One of them asked that she might be permitted two extra hours of work each day in addition to her regular work and studies, that she might thus have a few pennies a week for missions. Achievement Recorded "For the past ten years this depart- ment has won between twenty and thirty thousand souls yearly. In 1900 the Sabbath school membership was fifty thousand and the church member- ship seventy-five thousand. In 1934 the Sabbath School membership exceeded that of the church by sixty thousand." Though there was no regular ves- pers service Friday evening, Pastor Wellman showed slides on the Sab- bath school work in the Northern Eu- ropean division. Afterwards there was a discussion of Sabbath school prob- lems. Another session of the conven- tion was held from two to four o'clock Sabbath afternoon. 0 And let him be sure to leave other men their turns to speak.—BACON. BAND ENTERTAINS Organization of Twenty-Seven Piec- es Directed by Prof. Engel The first band concert of the year, comprised of solos and varied group numbers, was presented by the Union college band, assisted by the college male quartet and by Frances Spoden, soprano, in the chapel on the evening of November 24. The band, consisting of twenty-seven pieces, has been or- ganized by Prof. C. C. Engel. Variety was given to the program by two cornet solos by Orason Brink- er, - Love Came Calling," by Zamec- nik, and "The Maid of the Mist," by Clarke. The college male quartet sang "The World is Waiting for the Sunrise," by Seitz, and "Honey, I Wants Yer Now," by Collin Coe. -Capriccio," by Clappe, was played as a clarinet solo by Valeta Anderson. Frances Spoden sang "Love's a Mer- chant, - by Mollie Carew. The band ' played seven numbers, "The Spirit of Horace Mann March," "Catonia Overture," "Howard Cadets March," "Vespers," "Los Angeles March," "Scouts of America," and "Our Director March." COLLEGE CLASSES PRESENT PROGRAM Thanksgiving Entertainment in Form of Progressive Party Beginning in Chapel BY ESTHER REEDER Students and faculty members alike joined the progressive party in a non- political way Wednesday night in a program ushering in Thanksgiving vacation. Each of the four classes and the academy students contribut- ed a program of about twenty min- utes' duration, attended successively by six groups of guests. All met in the chapel before being divided into groups. As an initial number the juniors furnished a quar- tet singing the junior class song, which was written by Glenn Fillman. Those remaining in the chapel were highly entertained by the jolly juniors. In short scenes they por- trayed the twelve months of the year, featured by a "symp" orchestra that played "Jingle Bells" for December. The seniors added variety to ±e evening by giving an old-fashioned march in the gymnasium led by 'Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Bietz, Carlton Blackburn, and Florence Lucille Ter- ry. Music was furnished by Margaret Farnsworth at the piano. After twen- ty minutes with the dignified seniors, the group progressed to the next place, which in one instance was the sophomore program in the library. The freshmen were delightful in their skillful imitation of a typical county fair in the castle. All was complete even to the brass band, con- ducted by Frederick Harder. No one missed the first floor lobby, where the faculty served Jack and Jill ice cream cotes. The academy presented a dialogue of a dinner-party-to-be with its pre- paratory complications. Virginia Cornell, a hostess of superior ability in New York City, portrayed the typical society woman trying to mar- ry off her daughter to a wealthy bachelor. The part of the daughter was taken by Helen Wyrick. Billy Pruitt was the perfect butler. MRS. HILTS VISITS HER SISTER Ivamae Small-Hilts, instructor in speech, left Omaha by areoplane No- vember 22 for Glendale, California, where her sister, Mrs. E. J. Smith, is seriously ill. It was found necessary for Mrs. Smith, who was recovering from a re- cent appendectomy, to undergo an- other operation. Because of its serious nature, Mrs. Hilts was called imme- diately. Word has been received that her sister is slightly improved. Mrs. Smith, née Ruth Small, is a former student of Union college. SACUIFICE By VEHNA BURDICK December 9 to 15 will be observed as a week of sacrifice by Union college students, the proceeds of which will be used in educational work in the Inter- American division. All overflow will be used in reestablishing and equipping the Haitian seminary in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The goal for 1934 is $9,000, which is to be raised by the teachers, stu. dents and employees in Adventist colleges, academies, and church schools, and by the educational secretaries and superintendents. The basis of the giv. ing is one week's salary by all teachers, other school employees, educationai superintendents and secretaries; and an average per capita goal of $1 for college students, 50 cents for academy students, and 25 cents for church school pupils. These gifts arc not to take the place of any other weekly offer- ing, but are to be in addition to them by sacrifice. It is not intended that they shall be solicited from others, but that they represent personal earnings and personal savings through self-denial. During the past six years this plan has produced nearly $120,000 for va- rious mission projects. The following projects were fostered: The Educational Week of Sacrifice offerings in 1928 were devoted to the work for Mohammedans in the Dutch East Indies and the Philippines. The offerings for 1929 were devoted to the vernacular work in India, Burma, and Ceylon with the islands that go with these countries. The 1930 Week of Sacrifice was dedicated to "Keeping our Mission School Teachers at Their Posts," with the overflow raised above the goal going to the schools in Roumania. In 1931, the project assigned was that of maintaining the educational work in the Inter-American division, with the school at Hankow, China, which had been destroyed by flood, the recipient of the overflow. The project for 1932 was the educational work in the Philippine union. Educational work in the Inter-American division was the project for 1933, with the overflow used in equipping the new Spanish school in Costa Rica. At this season of the year when the people of America are given a special opportunity for Thanksgiving, the Week of Sacrifice provides an appropriate time to give a thank offering. The whole gospel principle is based on sacri- fice. Practically all of the blessings we enjoy each day are the result of some one's sacrifice for us. God gave His Son that we might have everlasting life: and it is not too much for Him to expect a sacrifice from us in carrying the good news of salvation to those who know it not. In years past Union college students have contributed unselfishly during the week of sacrifice. Just what they will do this year is in their own hands. This is an opportunity for each student to show in some degree his love for the message which he professes. During this special week Union college people save the money which they might ordinarily spend on unnecessary articles. There are many successful ways by which different ones have saved money for this purpose. Some hz.vc gets without certain corals, or without desserts and candy, and even without purchasing some really necessary ar , titles of clothing. Others have done some such special work as sewing, shov- eling snow, canvassing, ironing, mending and darning, and donated the money received. Still others have found something to sell for a profit. By thus sacrificing for others, a blessing is received which can be Obtained in no other way. Union college students will do their share this year. • Comm i ttee Appointed to Improve Scholarship The purpose and function of the Union College Scholarship committee, stated its chairman, Dr. E. N. Dick, in a recent interview, is to help stu- dents adjust their programs so that they might efficiently carry on both their school work and outside work. Five members—including Miss Ruby Lea, Professor Tom Little, Dean Pearl Rees, Dean Habenicht, and the chair- man—compose the Scholarship corn- mittee which was organized last win- ter "for the purpose of promoting bet- ter scholarship and of guiding and ad- vising the students in channels which will help them to do more thorough school work," stated Dr. Dick. "It seeks to hold up a high standard of scholarship and discourage students from putting in too much time in la- hor and too small a proportion of time in scholastic work." Though weekly meetings are held, the heaviest duties of the committee come immediately following the pe- riodic examinations, that is, at the end of the four-week, the nine-week, and the semester examinations, Dr. Dick asserted. At such times a check-up is made on a student's scholarship in comparison with the number of hours on his work program, and the commit- tee advises the student accordingly, he further stated. Some students may be asked to drop work or be advised to amend or reshape their program cons- formably to these check-ups, he stated. Citing a hypothetical case by way of illustration, Dr. Dick said that if a student who is working forty hours a week had been registered by some mis- take for a sixteen-hour scholastic load, the committee would ask him either to drop part of his school work or to cut down the number of hours of labor. Since the committee has access to the various tests given to the students when they enter school and to the grades they receive in their various subjects, it is enabled to compare a student's ability with his achievement and to advise him with greater intelli-. 9ence, Dr. Dick believes. "Also the committee makes such rec- ommendations to the faculty as may seem necessary in the promulgation of rules and standards with regard to study and scholarship," said Dr. Dick. "Another of its duties is to select one student from the highest ten per cent of the senior class according to schol- arship. The University of Nebraska then gives this student a scholarship which frees him from paying tuition in the Graduate school of the Univer- city." It matters not how long we live but how.—BAILEY.

REPAIR INFIRMARY Girls' Home Has Better Facilities to Care for the Sick North hall's infirmary is nearing completion. The days when the sick were cared for in the rooms on fifth floor are over. The new suite of rooms is located on second floor and consists of the first three rooms on the north corridor, just across from Dean Rees' apartment. The second room of the three has been divided into two. The front room being equipped as an office for the school nurse, provides space for keeping medical supplies. The rear room has been converted into a bath. When plans have °been completed, the two adjoining rooms, which are connected by doors on either side of the bathroom, will be furnished as two-bed wards. The present problem of isolation will be simplified. The location of the infirmary is ad- vantageous in that it is easy for Dean Rees to keep a watchful eye over the patients while the nurse is required to be elsewhere. This loca- tion also practically eliminates the fire hazard because the broad window opens on the spacious porch. BANQUET ENJOYED ON THANKSGIVING Andreasen Speaks; Music and Readings Intersperse the Dinner Courses BY ROGER BAKER In, celebration of Thanksgiving, some two hundred students, faculty members, and friends took part in the annual banquet in the Union college dining room Thursday at one o'clock. For some time before the doors were opened students could be seen gather- ing in the hall and around the entrance, patiently awaiting admittance. Finally the hour came and for the next few minutes, which seemed as hours to some, a long file of guests walked around the long table, gazing intently at small orange colored cards. Now and then one would stop and wait patiently for the others to find their respective places. When all were located and the room became quiet, President Andrea- scn returned thanks, asking the Lord's blessing on the gathering. Each place was provided with a to- mato cocktail, an •orange-colored bas- ket of assorted nuts, a dish of salad, a napkin, and the necessary weapons for proper procedure. During the first course the college quartet sang "The World is Waiting for the Sunrise" and "I Wants Yer, Honey." While preparations were be- ing made for the next course President Andreasen gave an address. He talked about "a minute and a half." Marta AcMoody then played two numbers on the harp. Each plate contained a piece of sweet potato, a dip of mashed Irish potatoes with a liberal quantity of brown gravy, a muffin pie crust full of green English peas, a mock turkey with macaroni legs, and a generous portion of cranberry sauce. Stationed at intervals along the tables were bowls of apples, celery, and olives. While this course was being con- sumed Esther Miller read "Plupy's Club Spends Thanksgiving." During the dessert course, made up of pump- kin pie with whipped cream and cake, Virginia Stevens gave the reading "Little Dub." 0 MISS LEA IS IMPROVING Miss Ruby Lea, registrar of Union college, underwent a major operation at the Boulder, Colorado, sanitarium on November 20. She is still at the Sanitarium, where the doctors report her as making satisfactory progress. Miss Lea is being cared for by Mablc Gosnell-Tucker, a former student of Union college. Wilma Barr, Miss Lea's small niece who has been living with her here, is also at Boulder and is attending the Boulder church school. • GERMAN GROUP DISPLAYS RHINE Saturday Night Program De- lights Many Visitors and Club Members FESTIVALS SHOWN Travel Pictures Escort Audience on Trip Spanning the Length of Romantic Area BY EDDIE NACHREINER "Warum ist es am Rhein so schon?" is a rhetorical question that received an adequate rhetorical answer in the Union college chapel Saturday night when nearly three hundred members and friends of the German club sang German songs, listened to German music, and were shown three reels of moving pictures portraying historical scenes, folk ways, and economic life in the romantic setting afforded by the Rhine locale. The journey along the Rhine started from Basel. At Freiburg, seat of the famous university, the students in gala uniform and the tunes of "0 alte Bur- schenherrlichkeit" created an atmos- phere of student life in Germany. The solemnity of Handel's "Largo" helped the audience to appreciate the magnif- icent cathedral of Spyer as it was flashed on the screen. Then came a glimpse of the famous "Heidelberger Fass" and the gay and merry life of that quaint little town. Next ap- peared the endless smoke-stacks of Germany's world-known annaline and dye works, Ludwigshafen. The city of Worms was another outstanding point on the trip along the Rhine. Under the tunes of that old and pow- erful hymn "A Mighty Fortress is our God," and as they viewed Luth- er's monument, many a student re- called the historic Diet at Worms. With a view of Mainz the first reel ended. Mainz to Koblenz was the distance covered in the second reel. This is by far the most romantic, the most legend-abounding section of all the Rhine. There one could see the Manse- turm, the Pfalz im Rhein, and many an old castle. Among them were Burg Katz, Burg Maus, the Hostile Broth- ers. One also saw a mighty rock pro- jecting far into the Rhine, known as the Lorelei. In this spot the Rhine is twenty:three meters deep. The mouth of the Mosel and Rhine form a corner, known as the "Deutsches Eck," where stands the mighty Kaiser Wilhelm monument. A close view of that mon- ument and the surrounding scenery closed the second reel. "Vintager's Festival in the Palatin- ate" was the title of the last reel. The gathering of the grapes, the making of the famous Rheinwein, and the various folk festivals after har- vest were interesting and oftentimes amusing to the audience. A string trio composed of Olivia Harder, Henry .Meissner, and Aaron Oswald provided incidental music. The films were shown through the courtesy of the German Tourist In- formation office of New York. CHURCH SCHOOL TEACHERS TO MEET HERE A convention of the Nebraska church school teachers will be held at Union college December 8-11. Mrs. L. T. Jorgenson, educational secretary for Nebraska, will be in charge of the meetings, with the assistance of C. A. Russell, associate secretary of the General Conference Educational de- partment, C. W. Marsh, educational secretary for the Central Union con- ference, and Miss Lotta Bell, head of the Education department at Union college. There will be instructional talks on music, art, woodworking, do- mestic science, and physical education in the elementary grades, besides dis- cussions of teaching routine and prob- lems. About fourteen church school teachers are expected to attend. Review of Union's Bookshelf E.

Not many years ago a young girl who was attending a de- nominational school began the annual week of prayer with an indifferent attitude. She acknowledged it. At home she had grown used to special, individual spiritual guidance. Now things were different, though there seemed little hope of remedying the situation. Of course everybody could not pray in the Friday eve- ning worships according to usual custom at the home of this young woman. Then, too, she was no leader, secretary, or teach- er in any of the school's organized religious activities. In fact, she wasn't anything but just her plain self. Not that she cared. She did not. Being tired after each week of work and study, she preferred to sit back and watch the other fellow perform. Scarcely realizing her attitude she let things slip—except the essentials, as she thought of them. She did kneel beside her bed and pray every night; that is, she prayed at first, though it was not long until she was merely saying her prayers and making those surprisingly brief. And then came the week of prayer. Her disinterested attitude actually surprised her, and, as she thought of it, she arrived at what she concluded to be the cause—she had sinned against the Holy Ghost by not paying special heed to its entreaties, and she was eternally lost. Possibly she had best tell the minister about it, she thought, and she did. The minister was kind. It was entirely possible to commit such a terrible sin, but he reasoned that she had not done so or else she should not have cared to go to him. In his fatherly way he sought the source of her indifference, and with skill gained through past years of experience, quickly put his finger on the cause of her trouble. She had ceased all spiritual support—mean- ingful prayer, Bible study, and meditation. How could she care to be a Christian with other things strangling all spiritual desires? As she entered anew into her former devotions she found her soul strengthened, her love for God renewed; and this day by day living brought her joy and comfort. That is part of religion—gaining the experience for oneself— but more must follow or it cannot long endure. A dean in a college dormitory once said that the most certain way to bring young people nearer to God was to get them interested in work- ing for their schoolmates. This nourishes the spiritual life, mak- ing it mature and bear fruit. It cannot be too strongly stressed that without this the religious life languishes and dies. During the recent week of prayer at Union college several students accepted Christianity and others reconsecrated their lives to Christian service. One may now ask, "How can I keep this experience?" It is certain that we cannot be saved by a spir- itual renewal limited to these special revival weeks. Religion must be a continuous thing. Its purpose must be to help a man live every day honestly with his companions, to raise him above selfishness, unfairness, and sin. It should make him big in soul, scorning that which tends to demoralize the character. Not necessarily does he need feel strong emotions to know he is a Christian. If, through prayer and meditation, he daily wel- comes Christ into the life and then passes this life on to others, God will supply the rest, and his religious experience will be constant. L. W. WHAT PRICE CHRISTIANITY? Is it worth it? Does Christianity pay? Some one has said that if for one brief moment we could shut ourselves away from the busy hurried world and get a true picture of life and all that con- cerns us, we would be convinced that, cost what it may, the life that counts is worth while; for to live it means being true to God, being an unfailing power for good among our fellow-men, and having a deep happiness which the world can neither give nor take away. It is true that being a Christian necessitates the giving up of many plans, and friends and amusements. Perhaps our most cherished life ambition does not fit into the Great Plan; but some- how, once we receive this newer vision of living, we discover that in some unknown way our goal in life has been modified, and we desire above all else to carry out the divine plan for us, whatever that may be. And that friend whom we must give up—why not win him instead? It will strengthen our faith and give us courage as well as give this friend a new view of life. As for the amuse- ments and books, we need not worry. For when Christ has truly given us His spirit, other and finer things take their natural places. There is one constant criterion for living the life that wins. Our consciences may not always be true guides, but this will not fail: "What would Jesus do?" If we are sincerely striving to do the right thing, if our hearts are in tune with Christ's we may safely ask ourselves, "What would Jesus do?" Somehow the an- swer always comes. Perhaps it is not the one we wished, but if we have prayed from an honest heart, "Thy will be done," we will follow as He leads, praising God that He is willing to guide us. But there is also a price. We must keep a steady watch against sin, for we are so human and weak that it sometimes slips up upon us unawares. We cannot let down our barriers even for an hour. Once we have taken our stand on the side of the cross, the tempter redoubles his attacks upon us, and it is only by constant consecration—daily consecration—that we can withstand these attacks. His greatest argument is that "this little thing cannot matter." But every small act or word or thought in our lives does matter and we must be on our guard at all times. The best safeguards are Bible-study and prayer. In our mad rush of school life it is easy to neglect these things, but as surely as we do, we fall before the attacks of evil. Yet, it's worth it! Perhaps another kind of life is easier to follow, but this other kind does not produce as much happiness and contentment. The wise person keeps himself in harmony with God's Plan! "Sometimes I think when life seems drear, And gloom and darkness gather near, It would be sweet, it would be best, To fold my weary hands and rest. But then God sends an angel down Who softly says, 'No cross, no crown.' F. L. T. Services Conducted at Douglas Stir Interest The meetings which the Gospel Workers' seminar is conducting in Douglas, about twenty-five miles from Lincoln, are beginning to create inter est, according to reports. The series of subjects planned for presentation will continue for several months. Services are being held on Friday and Sun- day nights, with a Sabbath school and church service on Sabbath. Present Truth and hand bills arc distributed to the entire town. Since last spring literature work and later cottage meetings have been conducted. Elmer Hagen, Frank Swearingen and Henry Peterson, the men in charge of the work, say that there is interest shown by a number of families, and one lady has already begun to observe the Bible Sabbath. 0 In general, pride is at the bottom of all great mistakes.—RusKIN.

As a result of this convic- tion, he dedicated himself to Chris- tian service and wrote the hook The Basis of Christian Faith, which pre- sents arguments that the author felt would have been convincing to hint during the time when his faith was crumbling away. The Silver Treasury is a - Pro- gram Anthology" by Jane Manner, well-known elocutionist woo, after graduating from the University of Cincinnati, succeeded her instructor as director of the Drama department of the College of Music of Cincin- nati. The volume represents years of collecting on the part of the auth- or, for she says she began copying poems from the time she was seven year old. Shakespearean scenes, one act plays, scenes from favorite plays, readings with music, friendship and fellowship selections, and poems of all types offer a sample of the con- tents of this anthology. Since in these days almost every one is trying to discover ways to give rubber qualities to money, the book Your Money's Worth should prove of universal interest. Its study of salesmanship and advertising is interspersed with lively bits of en- tertaining wit and humor. The auth- ors, Stuart Chase and F. J. Schlink, offer to the readers such questions as the following: Do you know why you buy one make of automobile rath- er than another?

Wesley Plinke - Annabell Rumpf Clock Tower ADVERTISERS DIRECTORY Seeman's Color Reproductions, "a Universal Pinacothek of all times," contains a standard collection of the better-known and more important paintings of the old masters, the mas- ters of the 19th century, and con- temporary artists. "This is not a cata- log in the ordinary sense of the word; it is really a handbook for those who are interested in art, especially in paintings." Many of the paintings are reproduced in their original tints and color values. The art appreci- ation classes should find this book advantageous. Did you ever do something for which you could find no explanation, or have you ever been unable to ac- count for the vagaries of some one else? Maybe you could find an ex- planation in Hows and Whys of Hu- man Behavior, by George A. Dorsey, Ph. D. This book is in answer to over 12,000 letters written by in- quisitive people who wished to be enlightened concerning their own ac- tions. Every one has to have some kind of explanation for his own acts before he can truly understand him- self. Did any one ever ask you, "How do you get that way?" Read the fourth chapter of this book for a suitable reply. During Floyd E. Hamilton's first year in a state university he lost his faith in the Bible, in Jesus Christ, and in a personal God. Four years later he was "led through a chain of reasoning which resulted in the conviction that God did live, that Jesus Christ was the Eternal Son of Filling Stations Jim Rodney's Texaco Station, 4103 So. 48th St. Olsen's Phillips "66" Station, South of Campus Hardware College View Lbr. & Coal Co.

There were those who contemplated a big day at their studies, but to tell how few really gave way to erudition's ex- posure would be a tale of neglect. Those few who resisted all tempta- tions for a gorgeous afternoon when the rest of the nation was gorging and gorging, probably gained little addi- tional knowledge but avoided indiges- tion. There was a young man who feared for the buttons on his vest. There was a young lady who refused the delica- cies because indulgence would mean increased avoirdupois. Both heartily enjoyed the afternoon. It might be interesting to know just how many people in America really gave way to thanks giving on this day. * Our mutual friend, Marshall Rock- well, who suddenly changed his mind about attending Union and went to Pacific Union, is Missionary Volunteer leader at that institution.

Capital City Bookbindery THE CLOCK TOWER PAGE THREE Cowboys riding automobiles in- stead of horses, chuck wagons that were used in round-up time discarded, lariat and saddle hung high on the rafters of shacks nearly all the year, high seven and eight barbed-wire fences instead of the open range — these changes in the West would not have detr l acted from the glamour of living where the prairies meet the sky even had I' known them when I was taken to the plains of Texas by my parents. Our ranch home was a large, square, two-story house with a basement. Our barns were pat- terned after the barns of Kansas. Our cattle were stocky, well-rounded milk and beef cows, not scrawny range cattle. Our horses were enorm- ous finely-bred Percherons, not ribbed range ponies. Adjoining our small ranch, or large farm, was the famous "LFD" ranch, comprising about three hundred thou- sand acres. Other ranches in the vicinity that were equally as large and important as producers of range cattle, were the "Mashed 0," the "Spade," the "Black Cattle," "Silver Lake," and others. In these ranches were breaks, sand hills, draws, natural and artificial lakes. A person could ride for hours without seeing another per- son. In this setting my imagination needed only to be let loose in order to appreciate the glamorous lives of Kit Carson, Buffalo Bill, Buffalo Jones, Wild Bill Hickok, and others. The fact that modern ranch life was tame did not halt my imagination in its emulation of frontier' characters. One day while I was working in a field of cotton with two teams of father's heavy Percherons, a car stopped in the road and a large man stepped from it. He did not drive his model T himself, for he had a chauf- feur. The man came over where I was resting the horses and began a congenial conversation. True western hospitality was in his voice and ac- tions. He admired the horses and asked if they were gentle. My an- swer was in the affirmative. He in- formed me that he would like to have such horses but had no use for them. Our conversation drifted to various matters of the locality, and I soon dis- covered , that he was Phelps White, part owner of the "LFD" ranch. I told him of my desire to work on a ranch. This brought a suggestion that whenever I was ready, he would have a job for me. My parents did not encourage my youthful enthusiasm for such adven- ture, but since Mr. White was Mr. White, a millionaire, etc., they ac- ceded to my wishes. Several weeks later, when Mr. White stopped at our farm, I was prepared for my great adventure on a big ranch. I had conjured vivid experiences and hoped only for their realization, My millionaire employer had not informed me what was to be expected, but I believed that I would be selected as one of his horse wranglers. Bumping over rutted prairie roads for miles in that model T, sitting in the back seat with my luggage, was a thrilling experience for me. Con- genial Mr. White kept up a continu- al story of his experiences in the West. The pockmarks on his face were caused by burns from a prairie fire in which he had been. His horse was burned so severely that it died. He had broken his arm, his leg, and suffered various bruises during num- erous round-ups. Of course, that was years ago. Now he lived nine months of the year in Roswell. His family did not care for ranch life. I was too timid to inquire about my work. Why should I, for I was only a boy? I was to receive two and a half dollars a day for being a real cow hand. I had read about thirty-dollar-a-month cow punchers riding hundred dollar horses and two- fifty was more than top hand wages. After driving across thousands of acres of rolling prairie we sighted a camp in the distance. All, thought I, it must be the chuck wagon. As we neared the camp, my employer's conversation seemed to indicate that this would be my abode for the im- mediate future, but I was still at a loss to know what my work was to be. The sun was sinking low over the horizon only as the sun can set in the West. Not a cloud was in the sky and a red glow was spreading. It grows redder and finally, when the sun is gone, the gray shades over- run the red. Finally only streaks of the red glow remain and these fade in the twilight. There were a ridge tent, a real chuck wagon, and several low wire fence corrals in the camp. No human being was in sight. We sat waiting in the car and still I did not have the courage to ask about my new job. Suddenly I distinguished the faint bleating of sheep. After a few min- utes the bleating became louder—and more numerous. My heart sank as I began to realize that I should prob- ably be a sheep herder. Woolies! real cow hand disdainfully sneers at the word. However, I still tried to console myself that Mr. White had not definitely informed me that this was the place I was to work. The bleating was now louder, and suddenly over the ridge west of the camp, in the rays of the sinking sun, came the white masses of several herds of sheep, A dog, frisking about in the van of the herds, barked furi- ously and seemed to be enjoying his task of chasing the woolies. Some- times when they were too slow for him he would dash upon their backs, and, with a piteous bleat, the victim would rush forward pellmell, shov- ing dozens with his force. There were about five thousand sheep in the herd, Mr. White proudly informed me. He stepped from the car and the chauffeur and I followed. He led the way and we all helped the herd- er corral the sheep. The sun had set when we had completed the job. The bleating of the sheep by this time was deafening. Now my employer informed me that this was my work—for he in- troduced me to the herder and , told him that I was his protégé. Within a few minutes my luggage was in the tent, and Mr. White and the chauf- feur were — gone. Well, the novelty of being on a sheep ranch was not so bad, I consoled myself. Supper made by a sheep herder is something very few people get to eat. Beans boiled in lake water, creamed with condensed milk,' thick coffee boiled in a syrup pail, hot bis- cuits made by dirty, smelly hands, reeking bacon fried crisp in a skillet chat probably had never been washed —that was our bill of fare, a la carte, etc. Sick at my stomach after the meal, sick at heart, lonely despite the thousands of bleating sheep, I found the dog was my friend, We were pals. He was busy looking for fleas when he wasn't chasing sheep, but we had a few moments for each other. After washing the dishes—two plates, tin cups, knives and . forks— we made a final check-up on the sheep and then went to bed. Well, a good night's sleep and the next day' would be better. As my roll of bedding was thick and inviting, I crawled into it at once. The dog slept on an old saddle blanket under the chuck wagon. The herder's bed- ding was no cleaner than his clothes, and he slept in both. I went to sleep and slept well, ,but a stifling odor awak- ened me some time in the night. I stirred and opened my eyes. I looked about me. Everything was pitch dark. The odor was strong and offensive. Wild thoughts need tn:ough my brain. Suddenly 1 spied half way across the tent the faint glow of fire. It was not long before I realized that my companion had lit his pipe in which he smoked plug tobacco. This tobacco, I had noticed at supper time, was extremely aged. Cut in fine pieces and stuffed into a pipe strong as a horse, when lit, it created a stench sufficient to satisfy dozens of smokers. The next morning I . discovered two real cow hands riding saddle horses and leading two mule teams, one of which was hitched to a flat wagon. After breakfast — beans, ba- con, hot biscuits, and coffee—the wagon was loaded with the corrals and tent and sundry poles. One of the cowboys drove the team and the other proceeded to hitch the other team to the chuck wagon. Mr. White suddenly made his appearance, and, while the cowboy held the mules by their heads, he steadily hooked the traces. This precaution, he said, was UNIONITE DIES IN EUROPEAN SERVICE Pastor Dail, Graduate Here in '95, Had Labored For Years in Foreign Lands Pastor Guy Dail, who was one of the "original seventy-three" students to enroll when Union college first opened its doors and who subsequent- ly served in Europe with but few in- tervals since his graduation in the class of '95, died in Berlin, Germany, No- vember 12. Soon after his graduation he was married to Anna E. Jeffers, class of '96, and was called to act as secretary of the Foreign Mission board when the headquarters were at Philadelphia. A short time later he became private secretary to L. E. Conradi and trav- eled almost constantly with him in Russia, Near Orient, Egypt, and Afri- ca, assisting in the establishment of mission stations. About the time the World war be- gan he was called to the presidency of the German-Swiss conference, which position he held until he returned to America as Bible instructor at Pacific Union college, just after the close of the war. In 1923 he was transferred to the Baltic Union, likewise serving as Bible teacher at the training school located at Riga, Latvia. He became secretary of the Central European di- vision in 1929 and remained there un- til he was called to superintendent the Bulgarian mission two years later. A few months ago he was transferred to the secretarial force of the Central European division, where he labored until a few days prior to his death. During a long period of years in exacting service Pastor Dail estab- lished a reputation among his fellow workers as a sincere, consecrated, un- ceasing servant in evangelistic labor. Besides his wife he leaves two sons in America, Clarence, who is taking medical intern work at Loma Linda, California; and Harold, who is teach- ing in South Pasadena, California. Harold Dail married Marcella Engel, daughter of Professor Engel of the Union College Music department.

In a home less than three blocks away an anxious hostess turned the gas low and nervously paced the floor while her husband called number after number on the telephone and even visited the class- room of this absent-minded peda- gogue in a vain attempt to locate him. The dinner waited—savory gluten roast with brown gravy, steaming riced potatoes, buttered new beets, fresh tomato salad, fluffy hot biscuits and honey, fat wedges of pumpkin pie topped with heaps of whipped cream, a gayly decorated birthday cake bearing an inscription which wished the truant guest a "Happy Birthday." Two days later the unconscious offender passed h i s post-potential hostess and was somewhat abashed to note the 45 0 nose elevation which characterizes offended femininity. Af- ter some dialogue—not altogether Socratic — the professor got a hint from the accusation: "Don't ever tell me again that you are a bright and shining exception to the absent-mind- ed professor pattern. Why weren't you around to eat your birthday dinner?" But the professor who forgot his birthday and the invitation to dinner could only groan forth a strategic stutter. And he will groan some more when he reads about the pie and in- cidentals which an abstracted mem- ory defrauded him of by a mess of pink soup. 0 KAPPA THETA SPONSORS SPEECH PROGRAM "A Small Down Payment" was pre- sented by the Union College Speech department in a program sponsored by Kappa Theta at a joint assembly of dormitory students in chapel on the evening of November 27. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Lasky, charac- t erized by Charles Teel and Jessie Mae Elmore, were victims of the small down-payment plan. The collectors (Theodore Torkelson, Alva Foster, and Barbara Honnecke) arrived, deter- mined to collect or take the furniture back. The Laskys' talkative maid (I- rene Johnson) kept the collectors calmed until the arrival of the hero, J. Randolph Maxwell (Robert Whit- nack), who gave the impoverished Lasky a high-salaried job and ordered the old furniture replaced by the best furniture in town. LITERARY FE A T U R E A Youthful Chapter By HENRY NICKEL necessary since they were not as gentle as my father's Percherons. I sat down in the doorway of the chuck wagon arid Mr. White handed me the reins. The cowboy dropped his hold on the bridles and before I had time to speak to the mules they were yards over the prairies. Jump- ing into their traces the instant the cowboy hopped aside, the mules were in full stride, galloping across the plains. The rattling chuck wagon added to their vigor, and their speed increased with every step. It was not a question of guiding them, for I was too busy hanging onto 'the reins and door frame to worry about any specific direction. After a mile or more of this race, the mules settled down o a trot and in about another mile hey were nonchalantly walking a- cross the prairies as if nothing had happened. :something had happened! The stove lay on its side with soot and stove pipes scattered well over the floor. Mixed with this were the flour, the beans, the tin pans, tin dishes, and assorted tin this and tin that. The mules were now gently pulling their load, and I followed the wagon a- head of me for miles and miles. Along toward the middle of the after- noon he stopped and began unload- ing. He pitched the tent and built the corrals. I drove up and we un- hooked the mules and soon he was off, riding pony and leading the mules. Not a word had been said about a meal; so I judged that it was up to me to make something for myself. After setting up the stove and sweeping out the flour mixture, I proceeded to make my own coffee, my own biscuits, and beans, and frankly, it was no better, though cleaner, than if the herder had made it. Nothing had been said about the sheep or when they would arrive, but with the tent pitched and plenty of beans, coffee and flour, I was not worried about the future. Toward evening Mr. White and his chauffeur drove up to the camp and I was informed that my parents would want me in a few days to help them at home; and if I wanted to go they would take me home that evening. I did not urge staying on the ranch; fot it was to be a cowboy that I had come on the ranch, not a sheepherder. Thus were the ambi- tions of an embryonic cowboy sus- pended in the first chapter. Pictures Begin Tie of "Friendship Sisters" A picture plus a number plus a North hall girl doing something for some other girl equals the beginning of "friendship sisters" in the young women's home this year. The, request for pictures came from the dean of women, which resulted in a collection of baby pictures and some more recent ones. These were num- bered and thrown upon the screen be- fore the girls in the assembly room. A number had been passed out to each girl and when the picture bearing her respective figure appeared, a friendship sister was adopted. These friendship sisters are to be a lasting tie through- out the semester. One of the pictures that appeared upon the screen was of Miss Rees when she was twenty-two years old. This particular plan for selecting friendship sisters is a revival here, it having been in operation in former years. 0 "Every valley has an end. - ALL GIFTS WRAPPED FREE AT Call B-6754 for Magee's Personal Shopper COLLEGE VIEW Professional Services A.
