THE EDUCATION NEEDED FOR THE 
TRAINING OF MISSIONARIES 
The folloWing extracts from a person-
al communication from a former stu-
dent of Union College who is now in a 
distant field, are so pointed that they 
should be passed on to our workers, par-
ents, and young people who are inter- 
s, 
�
�
ested in education. To us has been giv-
en a most important work in the world, 
and what zeal, earnestness, and thor-
oughness should characterize our prepa-
ration for it. Those who would minis- 
*

�
ter to the bodies of men to-day must first 
complete thorough courses of study and 
pass rigid examinations. Shall those 
who minister to the souls of men be less 
thoroughly qualified? �M. E. K. 
OP 
PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT 
One of the first things necessary in 
our day is a good stomach, a sound pair 
of lungs, and a liver that does its duty; 
in other words, the physical condition 
of the students is of supreme import-
ance, if you would fit them for stern 
service in the mission field. Did you 
ever stop to consider how much money 
we have spent since we began sending 
out workers, in return passages for those 
whose constitutioiis were not able to 
bear up under the strain of climate, the 
worry of adapting one's self to new con-
ditions, or who gave way to a despond-
ent feeling of something akin to home-
sickness? Have you ever heard of any 
prospective missionary being retained 
at home because "his health would not 
permit" his going abroad? Well, ask 
any member of our Mission Board, or of 
the Mission Board of any other aggress-
ive evangelical denomination in Ameri-
ca, if you have not heard of such cases 
yourself, and you will be very much 
astonished at the reply they will give 
you. Therefore, seek to give Union Col-
lege students a good phyiical founda-
tion for their mental and moral useful-
ness. If you get young men and young 
women in the school who are well and 
strong, don't kill them trying to get 
them ready for the work; if you get 
young men and women who are not 
strong, do your best to make them 
"physically fit," before you give them a 
diploma, a degree, or a recommendation 
to become missionaries in a heathen 
land, or in any other land. 
Personally, I feel deeply on this sub-
ject. I think I have a right to feel deep-
ly about it, for I see how much we as a 
people are losing in some of the ripe 
harvest fields of the world, because we 
have not the proper men to enter them. 
Of course you will not misunderstand 
the words I am using, and interpret 
2 �
TILE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER 
them to mean that all the students 
should be converted into mere physical 
giants, with lots of muscle, which they 
do not know how to control and prop-
erly use. That is not the idea at all; a 
good body is physically capable of en-
during hard work, and is well under the 
control of a normal mind. 
THE NORMAL MIND 
This brings me naturally to the next 
point, as to what one should understand 
by a normal mind. You remember that 
most of us and of our fellows are not of 
normal mind. We are abnormal in 
many ways. We get to be normal by a 
thorough conversion to God, and we 
keep normal by renewing our consecra-
tion to Him every day. When we have 
it settled and settled forever that we 
will be true to Him, no matter what 
may be involved in it, we have taken 
one step toward a normal mind; and 
when we renew this determination ev-
ery single day of our lives, we are mak-
ing steady strides towards the goal of 
normal mentality. So much for the 
normal part of our mental make-up.

THE LEICESTER SANITARIUM 
We are permitted to make the follow-
ing extracts from a private letter writ-
ten by Franklin J. Richards, formerly a 
Union College student, but now the su-
perintendent of the Leicester Sanitar-
ium, Leicester, England. 
We are glad to report the work here 
as growing in a gradual and healthy way. 
We have had a good year in many ways. 
Some very sick patients have been re-
stored to health and encouraged to go 
forward in the better way of the Lord. 
One patient who was strongly advised 
to have his leg amputated because of tu-
berculosis of the ankle bones, spent a 
month or six weeks with us on the reco-
mendation of the secretary of the Vege-
tarian Society. He made marked im-
provement and has continued to do so, 
and writes very encouragingly of his 
condition, and is apparently in quite 
sound health without losing his leg. An- 
other patient, a lady who has been con-
fined to a wheel chair for several years, 
was walking about after six weeks at �
A 
the Sanitarium. Still another who was 
crippled up and in bed a year ago is 
in very fair health and walks without 
cane or crutch, does her own work, etc.1 
Just at present we have another patient 
with the same trouble who bas not 
walked for nine years. We hope to get 
her on her feet soon, though she is now 
fifty years of age. The Lord and His 
• 
ways of healing deserve all the credit. 
Many other cases might be cited but we 
shall not weary you. We are getting 
some good workers around us and so • 
shall be able to enlarge and extend the 
influence of the institution during the 
next year by the blessing of the Lord. 
Brother 0. A. Olsen reports in Life and 
Health that we have six patients' bed-
rooms. We have ten really, and some 
very large ones. Two are occupied by 
ourselves and Mr. and Mrs. Baker, our 
trained nurses, but they can be vacated 
at any time. We have never had more 
than ten patients at one time thus far. 
We also had the privilege of looking 
over a prospectus recently issued by the 
Sanitarium, which shows in its illustra-
tions that this institution is well 
equipped for its work. 
Mrs. Dr. Richards is also a physician. 
She was formerly known in College 
View as Miss Eulala Sisley. 
We join in wishing them continued suc-
cess in their work. 
THE IDEAL CHURCH SCHOOL 
TEACHER 
MRS. MARY WILCOX 
"Study to show thyself approved un-
to God, a workman that needeth not to 
be ashamed, rightly dividing the word 
of truth." This text should be the mot-
to of every true church school teacher, 
and its fruit will be seen in the life. 
She will be kind, gentle, Meek, forbear- .S 
ing, peaceful, impartial, thorough and 
progressive; loving her work sincerely 
because of the good she may do, and 
having a firm trust in God that He will 
guide in the decision of every perplex-
ing question.

WHY DO YOU NEED AN 
EDUCATION? 
"Any young man is wanting in his 
duty to himself if he fails to meet the 
Opurposes of God by improving and en-
larging his faculties. The mind is the 
best possession we have, but it must be 
trained by study, by reflection, by 
• 
learning in the school of Christ, the 
▪ best and truest educator the world has 
ever known."—C. E., p. 204. 
True education is the training of 
mind and heart. Sometimes the mis-
take is made of regarding education as 
the mere acquirement of certain knowl-
edge, needed to prepare workers for the 
cause. This is only partially true. The 
knowledge of facts is useful and neces-
sary, but the great value of education is 
the increased thinking capacity of the 
mind and the strengthening of the moral 
and spiritual powers. As the black-
smith who strikes the heavy blows has 
the strong arm, so it is the man or wo-
man who is trained to endure hard 
mental work who will have the strong, 
well developed mind. 
The great object of education, there- 
fore, is "to restore the image of God in 
the soul."—C. E., p. 63. It is the devel- 
opment of character rather than specific 
acquirements for a limited sphere of 
action. This being true, all of our 
young people need an education. (Test., 
Vol. 6, p. 207.) Character when formed 
is formed for eternity. What question, 
therefore, overtops this question; and 
what of all our varied activities is not 
mere baby's play compared to the mak-
ing of character? Can we be content, 
therefore, to let month after month and 
year after year slip by without making 
a systematic effort to discipline our 
minds to genuine hard study? Can par-
ents be content to pass this matter by 
lightly? The most important work God 
• 
has given you to do is the education 
and training of your children. Some 
day the solemn question will be asked 
of you, "Where is the flock that was 
given you, thy beautiful flock." 
Then there is the work of specific 
training for the various lines of work in 
connection with the cause of God in the 
earth. "We need young men and wo-
men, who, having high intellectual cul-
ture, are fitted to do the best work for 
the Lord."—Test., Vol. 6, p. 206. The 
cause needs intelligent, thoughtful, men 
and women everywhere, that the blessed 
message committed to us may be rightly 
represented. If the Lord demands an 
increase in the return of the talents of 
money bestowed, of how much greater 
importance is it than the talents of 
mind, the means by which God would 
bring us into a closer understanding of 
Him, should be developed by every 
means in our power. "The Lord is in 
no wise pleased with those who have 
opportunities to obtain knowledge but 
who excuse themselves in neglecting to 
improve all the privileges He has placed 
within their reach that they may be-
come intelligent, well qualified work-
ers of whom He will not be ashamed."

A WORD FROM MISS SEGEBARTT 
All Union College students will be 
glad to read the following extracts from 
a card written by Miss Segebartt, the 
former Matron of Union College. 
DEAR FRIENDS— Across the ocean 
without any seasickness. Smooth sea 
all the way. Quite cool. Enjoyed my 
robe much. Just what I needed. (Miss 
Segebartt refers to a steamer rug which 
her friends presented her on the day of 
her departure from College View.—ED.) 
Spent a week at Friedensau where our 
school and sanitarium are located. On 
the camp ground I met many friends. 
We then visited Wittenburg, Luther 
and Melancthon's homes, Berlin and 
Hamburg. Will see Antwerp and the 
Rhine and London, and will sail for 
South America August 11. We had this 
time between boats, so spent it sight-
seeing. Hope all are well and house-
cleaning is progressing nicely. Shall be 
glad to hear from you all.

THE EDUCATIONAL JIESSENGEP 
Bro. N. B. Emerson and wife, of Topeka; 
Kansas, have been engaged. Brother 
Emerson has been for some time the 
Financial Agent of the Kansas Confer-
ence. Sister Emerson has for years 
been connected with the Sabbathi 
school and young people's work. They 
are both well qualified to discharge the 
11 
duties of these offices. 
Thus, while laborers from Union Col-
lege have gone forth to other needy 
fields, their places have been filled 
with able workmen, and all will be 
ready for the opening of school Septem- ~ 
her 12. 
CHANGES IN UNION COLLEGE 
WORKERS 
Several changes have taken place in 
the ranks of Union College workers 
since the annual calendar was issued. 
Eld. L. A. Hoopes has gone to Australia, 
in harmony with the recommendation 
of the late General Conference. Miss 
Carrie Segebartt is on her way to South 
America to act as matron of the school 
at Diamante, Argentina. Prof. M. W. 
Newton has been called to Battle Creek 
to take charge of the sale of Dr. Kel-
logg's books. We are sorry to lose 
these faithful and tried laborers, but are 
glad Union College is privileged to send 
forth to the mission fields able men and 
women, not only from its students, but 
from the ranks of teachers as well. 
No doubt many are interested to learn 
what provision has been made for sup-
plying the places thus made vacant. 
Hence it is with undisguised pleasure 
that we make the following announce-
ments:— 
Eld. M. D. Mattson has been engaged 
to conduct the classes in Bible Doc-
trines, Ministers' Training, and other 
subjects carried by Elder Hoopes. It 
was for a time expected that Eld. E. W. 
Farnsworth would occupy this posi-
tion, but authoritative word came that 
he must not be tied to any institu-
tion, but be left free to respond to im-
portant calls for labor in the gospel 
ministry. Elder Mattson has been 
Bible teacher in South Lancaster Aca-
demy for eight or ten years. He comes 
highly recommended by Elder Irwin, 
Elders E. T. and K. C. Russell, Profes-
sor Griggs, and others. Eld. S. N. Has-
kell and wife have promised to be with 
us during the winter term. An an-
nouncement of a special course for 
Christian workers will be made in due 
time. Prof. H. A. Morrison will take 
the place made vacant by the resigna-
tion of Professor Newton. To fill the 
ofi,ipes of Business Manager and Matron, 
TRAINING FOR SERVICE 
M. E. ELLIS 
The problem before this denomination, 
is the problem of the education of the 
youth. There are 50,000 youth among 
us, and workers from among these are 
to carry the truth to all the world in 
this generation, and on the correct sol-
ving of the question how best this may 
be done, lies the solution of how to 
quickly spread this Third Angel's Mes-
sage over the entire earth. 
The subject of education presents it- 
self �
me in a threefold light: The need 
of it, the value of it, and the means of 
obtaining it. 
NEED OF EDUCATION 
That there is a great and crying need 
of more and better education among our 
youth to-day goes without saying. The 
most cursory glance at the grade of work 
taken by the majority of students in 
our training schools, shows a most la-
mentable lack of what we call "book 
learning" among our best and brightest 
young men and women. 
"Knowledge is power, when united 
with true piety," (C. E., p. 32,) and if 
ever there was a time when power was 
needed, and when power was impera-
tive in dealing with common everyday 
problems, that time is the living present. 
A

"Intensity is taking possession of every 
earthly element," and the time when 
our young men and women could come 
up to full manhood and womanhood, 
knd live a good Christian life because 
they "took it by exposure," so to speak, 
is in the past. There are things just 
ahead of us that will try the strongest 
♦ soul. Our great enemy is marshalling 
A every fallen spirit to redouble his ef-
forts at deception, and every angel in 
.Satan's host has 6,000 years of exper-
ience to back him in laying snares for 
our unwary feet. There is just one 
source from which we can obtain power 
to thwart Satan and his host. That 
source is God; that power is wisdom. 
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning 
of [this] wisdom," and knowledge, 
which is ever the result of study, uni-
ted with true piety, is that power. 
Consider the world with its schools 
of all kinds, its colleges, its universi-
ties, where the clearest intellects are in 
training in lines of philosophy, ad-
vanced mathematics, applied sciences, 
▪ and erudite research in all lines of men-
tal training. While we know that much 
they learn is the worst kind of error 
and entirely contrary to God's law, yet 
their aocomplishments force us to ac- 
I knowledge their giant intellects, and 
there are thousands and thousands of 
this class of young people in these 
schools. And we must face the fact 
that we have but few in training to send 
to this class with the glad news of the 
Third Angel's Message. Could you cope 
with these sons and daughters of the 
world in argument? Could you give a 
reason for the hope you have that could 
not be called in question? And yet 
"Christ reasoned with the hoary doctors 
of the law when he was but twelve 
years of age, and put them to confusion. 
We are face to face with the fact that 
I, better education is necessary to denomi-
national life. Think of this message—
you, young people, are the ones who 
will have to finish the work. Is there 
need of being well-educated? Is there 
need of knowing how to meet cultured, 
refined people? Is there need of having 
a good supply of general information to 
draw from to know how to best ap-
proach literary men and women of the 
world? as well as the ignorant and com-
mon people? Is there need of having 
such a knowledge of God's word that 
ministers of the world will not be able 
to totally confuse us by quoting Greek 
and Hebrew to us? Is there need for 
men and women, who, with unassuming 
manner, yet with the power that comes 
from consciousness of unquestioned 
connection wiih heaven, can go into the 
world, and meet the better classes, the 
educated, the thoughtful, the sincere in 
heart everywhere? 
We have not done much for them yet, 
and the reason is we have no one ready 
to send to them? 
Every child has a right to be well-
born. Every child in the family also 
has a right to have such an education 
as will fit him to do the most good in 
the world and enjoy heaven hereafter. 
Is that much being done for them? Are 
we concerned over the education of our 
youth? Are we interested enough in 
our church schools to help support 
them whether we have children or not; 
are we interested in our intermediate 
schools to give them our support and 
patronage: are we interested enough in 
our colleges and training schools, to 
make an effort, to make a sacrifice, that 
some of our promising young men and 
women may have better educational 
advantages? and have a chance to de-
velop to the fullest extent in them their 
God-given intellects, before taking up 
their life work in the whitening har-
vest fields, with well-developed sinews 
of moral courage and mental strength, 
to do valiant and efficient, instead of 
zealous but bungling, work for the Re-
deemer of mankind? If we are, God be 
praised, if we are not, we stand ar-
raigned before the Judge of all the earth,

for our negligence in this vital matter. 
THE VALUE OF AN EDUCATION 
Man is the most wonderful of the 
creatures of God, and the mind of man 
is the most wonderful thing about him. 
But the mind, like the body, must be 
trained to reach a full maturity of de- 
velopment. Paul says, "Study to show 
thyself approved unto God, a workman 
that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly 
dividing the word of truth." II Tim. 
2: 15. And with all the discoveries of 
the last few centuries no other way has 
yet been found to fit "workman that 
need not to be ashamed" better than the 
one Paul gave to Timothy, to "study," 
and just to the extent that study is 
needful to good workmen, and that 
"with the heart [mind] man believeth 
unto righteousness," (Rom. 10: 10) to 
that extent Satan tries to misguide us 
by suggesting easier methods, and by 
trying to smother the instincts of the 
heart, longing to believe on God, and to 
satisfy it with earthly pleasures. 
Hence the great and immeasurable 
value of Christian education. Rev. Jas. 
Cooper, struck at once the keynote of 
success in education and value of it, 
when he said, "Dig deep, young breth-
ren. You are now digging your wells, 
and if you want good water, you must 
go down deep. When you leave col-
lege and go out to your life work you 
will find little time for digging; and if 
your well is shallow and you are pump-
ing all the time, the well will soon get 
dry—you will soon run out. If I were 
a young man with the opportunities of 
to-day, I would dig my well and I 
would sink it down deep." 
It is a fact that many of the most 
earnest students in our colleges are 
young men and women who, after being 
out in actual field work for a year or 
two or longer, have been more strongly 
impressed than ever with the need of 
education and fitness to carry on their 
work successfully, no matter how great 
their religious zeal may be. 
The immediate need of the world to-
day is not more young people, but a 
better class of young people, and educa-
tion of hearts and minds fully surren-
dered to God is the only means of get-
ting them to accomplish the most good 
in closing up the work of the Third 
Angel's Message. 
In every decision for right or wrong, 
in every day's intercourse with our fel-
lows, in leading men to Christ, in work-
ing on the farm, in the shop, anywhere, 
in seed time and harvest, in heat and • 
cold, in everything and every place, a 
human intellect trained in Christian 
schools, and consecrated to God, is the 
greatest human agent for good. 
MEANS OF EDUCATION-THE GODLY HOME 
We are told that the child's education 
begins with the babe in the mother's 
arms. Some writers tell us that it be-
gins a hundred years before the child is 
born. At all events, its most important 
schooling, its most lasting impressions 
are received in the home in its early 
years. 
THE CHURCH SCHOOL 
But in the ideal life of the child the 
time comes when the little one needs 
more special training than the father 
and mother are prepared to give, and he 
is sent to the church school. Then be-
gins what is commonly called, "getting 
an education," and the church school 
guides him along until he has mastered 
the principles of a common school edu-
cation, and what is more important be-
gins to have a good understanding of 
Bible truths. But he is not yet satisfied 
with his attainments, and the 
INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL 
offers him further advantages, and by -• 
all means he should be sent to the in-
termediate school rather than to college, 
if one is conveniently located and well 
conducted. A college with its hundreds 
of young men and women is no place 
for boys and girls from twelve to fifteen 
years of age. The temptations ars too 
THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER �

great, the change from the simple home 
life is too radical, and the launching 
out completely from the protection of 
♦ parents, is too early and too abrupt. 
It is true the lower grades are taught 
in our colleges, but it is so because cir-
cumstances have seemingly forced them 
to do this to meet the exigencies of the 
situation, and it is a thing neither hoped 
for or designed for the very distant fu-
ture. 
But after some time spent in the in-
termediate school his active mind still 
reaches out into the vast fields and to-
wards the ever-receding horizon of 
knowledge, and he feels that in order 
to do most efficient work for the Master 
he must still have more training in 
special lines. It is then that the col-
lege gladly opens its doors, and not un-
til then is the young man or woman 
fitted to enter. 
UNION COLLEGE 
But Union College is not a reform 
school. If you have a boy or girl who 
is so wild that you can do nothing with 
him or her it is an unsafe experiment to 
send them to college, and is dangerous 
to the welfare of the college as well. 
It is much easier for them to do wrong 
undetected in a family of two or three 
hundred, than in the little home circle 
of three or four members, and unless 
touched by some special manifestation 
of the Holy Spirit, they are apt to be 
• 
ruined completely. 
But if you have a son or daughter who 
is hungering and thirsting for a deeper 
understanding of science and nature be-
cause it is God's handiwork, who loves 
to study His word, who is anxious to 
work for Him but realizes that educe-
...6°n is essential to service—send them 
to college. 
There is talent among us, which 
trained for the Master's service, could 
meet every class and glean out the 
sheaves for the heavenly garner. But 
the training is necessary, do not forget 
that. And until the fathers and moth- 
ers, and the sons and daughters also, 
unite to make every sacrifice and effort 
possible to put the youth through a 
training that will fit them to be good 
soldiers of King Immanuel, they have 
not done their duty. 
NEBRASKA SANITARIUM DAY AT 
THE OMAHA CAMP-MEETING 
DR. LYRA H, GEORGE 
The Sanitarium before the present 
year has been in no way connected with 
the Conference, but a few months ago 
the legal corporation was so changed as 
to inseparably connect the sanitarium 
work with the conference. An earnest 
effort is being made to unite the evan-
gelical and medical missionary work in 
every possible way; for this reason and 
for the benefit of the people on the 
camp-ground Thursday, Aug. 17, was 
especially devoted to the consideration 
of the Sanitarium and medical mission-
ary work. 
The forenoon hour was the regular 
business meeting of the Nebraska Sani-
tarium and Benevolent Association. 
After the meeting was opened selections 
from a letter written by Sister White 
were read; the following were among 
these:--"The Sanitarium here is in a 
good location. It is away from the city 
with its temptations, and yet it is so sit-
uated that people will learn of it and 
the nature of its work. It is surround-
ed by a good tract of land. Its proxim-
ity to the College is a decided advantage 
for these two institutions, working to-
gether, niay be a help one to the other. 
The College, the Sanitarium, and the 
publishing house at College View are 
important institutions. We must ever 
remember that our sanitariums are es-
tablished to do the highest work that 
mortals can undertake. A sanitarium, 
from the highest to the lowest floor, 
should be provided with every improve-
ment that can be secured for it, so that 
it may do the very best class of work." 
8 �
THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER 
"God has placed us in the world to 
bless one another, and we desire the 
sanitarium here to give the students in 
the school a representation of the high-
est kind of medical missionary work. 
God wants the students in the school 
and the nurses and helpers in the Sani-
tarium to strive for perfection in all 
that they do." 
"Let a united effort be made to build 
up and sustain this Sanitarium, have life 
and vitality. Our medical institutions 
are to be as the arm and hand of the 
message." 
"Those who are connected with this 
branch of the Lord's work should be 
encouraged and strengthened by their 
brethren and sisters, that they may effic-
iently and cheerfully care for the sick 
and suffering. Every exertion should 
be put forth to make it possible for the 
physicians and nurses to do thorough 
work. The Lord would have His peo-
ple in the Central Union Conference 
arouse, and put forth a united effort to 
make the Sanitarium at College View a 
praise in the earth, and a continual 
blessing to many, that from it there may 
shine forth the light of truth." 
The membership of the association 
was explained to include all the dele-
gates of the Nebraska Conference, all 
the regular employees of the Sanitarium, 
and all graduate physicians and nurses 
engaged in medical missionary in Neb-
raska, under the supervision of, and in 
harmony with this association. The 
following officers were then elected:—
President, Dr. W. A. George; Treasurer, 
D. R. Callahan; Eld. E. T. Russell, and 
Eld. A. T. Robinson as new members of 
the Board of Trustees, for three years 
each; Prof. E. C. Kellogg, to till the 
place made vacant by the resignation of 
Eld. L. A. Hoopes. Following this 
election the treasurer's report for the 
last two years was read. This report 
shows that the institution has been do-
ing a large amount of business on a very 
small capital. In spite of the fact that 
several thousand dollars worth of char-
ity work has been done each year, the 
institution has been able to meet ex-
penses and pay some on its debts. The 
report was followed by a free discuss- A 
ion of some of its items. Several mem-
bers of the association brought out im-
portant points concerning the finances 
of the institution. 
All the Sanitarium helpers who could 
be spared from their work were present 
at this meeting, and much interest was 
shown in the subjects under discussion. 
According to previous appointment 
the afternoon hour was used for a dem-
onstration of the Sanitarium methods 
for giving simple treatments. Tables 
were placed on the platform and nurses 
showed how to give a hot blanket pack 
for rheumatism; cold mitten friction 
followed by an oil or powder rub, to be 
given after a hot treatment; fomentations 
to the chest followed by cold compress-
es for pneumonia, fomentations com-
bined with the ice-bag for appendicitis; 
hot sitz bath, wet sheet rub,— and vari-
ous other treatments. 
The audience, which filled the large 
tent at this meeting, seemed much in-
terested in these demonstrations, and 
the explanations that accompanied 
them, and when an opportunity was 
given to ask questions, many inquiries 
poured in concerning various ailments. 
These were briefly answered by Doctor 
George, and as far as possible the treat-
ment, that could be given in any home, 
suggested for each one. 
Another legal meeting was called at 
five o'clock and the different branches 
of the Sanitarium work discussed. Sev-
eral of its former patients spoke grate-
fully of the benefits they had received, 
and of their efforts to send others to the 
institution. 
Very little advertising is done by the 
Sanitarium except that resulting from 
the testimonies of men and women who �

go out from the place with renewed 
health and strength, and in many cases

with a new song in their hearts, for the 
precious truths and blessings of the 
Lord that they have found while recov-
OP ering from their sickness. 
Sunday evening, Aug. 20, was the last 
public service of the camp meeting and 
the large tent was filled to overflowing 
to listen to an enthusiastic temperance 
lecture by Elder Daniel Nettleton, who 
has for the last four years been chaplain 
and Bible teacher at the Nebraska Sari• 
tarium. Doctor George assisted during 
this lecture by showing the properties 
and effects of alcohol and demonstrating 
its presence in a number of patent medi-
cines in common use. 
FROM ELDER WAKEHAM 
The many friends of Elder W. H. 
Wakeham, especially those in Nebraska 
who heard his earnest pleas for the for-
eign work during his brief visit to his 
home state after the General Conference, 
will be pleased to read the following 
extracts from a letter to the president of 
Union College:— 
"I am enjoying a brief stay in the de-
lightful hills of Surrey, at the 'Hydro,' 
as it is designated here. Had a pleasant 
voyage across the Atlantic. Shall put 
out to-night for Hamburg, then to Fried-
ensau, then on to Egypt. We have de-
cided to send Rea, and Loto, my oldest 
girl to Friedensau, to be with Glen. It 
will be nice for the three children to be 
together. Loto needs to be out of the 
city. They will have country life pure 
and simple, and plenty of out-of-door 
work. They will get some advanced 
work in English and German, French 
and music. We will try that for a 
year, and see how it works. 
-, "We know not what the future has in 
store for us, but we are committing our 
case to Him who knows all our wants. 
"The outlook here is good. England 
is prospering. The prospect for the 
London school is encouraging. Profess-
or Salisbury is of good cheer. The 'Hy-
dro' is full and God is blessing it, 
"We are still on the lookout for a 
good man for Egypt. You know about 
what we want. I shall be pleased to 
have any information you can give me 
at any time that will put me on the 
tract of a suitable worker, or workers, 
for our needy field." 
HOME DISCIPLINE 
On "education day" at the Nebraska 
camp meeting, at the morning social 
meeting, the following remarks were in 
substance made by W. H. Neville, of 
Lincoln. They deserve to be passed 
along, read, and heeded everywhere:— 
"If there is a subject that should in-
terest us at this time it is the proper 
conducting and carrying on of our 
church schools, and I want to say from 
what I have learned in the past four 
years in giving my attention to this 
matter in our school at Lincoln, that a 
great many parents are making a mis-
take in not properly training their child-
ren in their homes, and teaching them 
obedience to themselves and to God. 
Do they not know that in neglecting 
this vital point they are not only leav-
ing their own children to go to des-
truction, but are also tearing down or 
undoing the good work that other 
mothers and fathers are doing for their 
children. Why so?— Because these 
tender ones are sent to school and have 
to mingle with the untrained children. 
I implore parents who have not been 
awake to this sad condition that they 
will seek God until they have a true 
knowledge of how to train their child-
ren. 
"I have known many cases where 
children have gone from the school to 
their homes, carrying complaints and 
falsehoods to their parents, with the re-
sult that the parents would begin to 
pity their children, writing out their 
feelings to the teacher, or telling their 
children to bring home their books, not 
realizing the injustice they are doing 
10 �
THE EDUCATIONAL 1V1ESSENGER 
the servant that God had placed over 
their little ones. 
"Order is heaven's first law, and un-
less we have it in our homes we cannot 
have it in our schools. God has given 
us many things in His word to teach us 
how we should train our children. I 
believe that the enemy of our souls is 
deceiving some in regard to what is 
called sympathy, but what is in reality 
false sympathy, as the servant of God 
terms it. By this means the devil is 
leading some to misunderstand and con-
demn the just servants of God. Send 
your children to the school with the 
understanding that they are to comply 
with rules and order, even if this calls 
for the punishment of your child. 
Take an interest in the welfare of your 
children. Visit the schools and talk 
with your teacher and pray that the 
Lord will make all wrongs right. Trust 
in His promises that everything will 
work together for good and the Lord 
will add His blessing." 
THE A, B, C OF OUR EDUCATIONAL 
WORK 
MRS. MARY WILCOX 
The "A, B, C" as here used would sug-
gest the most important or foundation 
work. In Testimonies, Vol. 6, p. 179, we 
find this statement:-- 
"Study in agricultural lines should be 
the A, B, C of the education given in 
our schools. This is the very first work 
that should be entered upon." 
Surely there must be good reasons for 
such instruction. On page 176 we read, 
"While attending school, the youth 
should have an opportunity for learning 
the use of tools." Also "small fruits 
should be planted and vegetables and 
flowers cultivated. Thus while exercis-
ing brain, bone, and muscle, they will 
also be gaining a knowledge of practical 
life. Culture on all these points will 
make our youth useful in carrying the 
truth to foreign countries." 
The great work of teaching present 
truth to every nation is the acknowl-
edged object of our educational work, 
and certainly that which will fit our 
pupils best for this work ought not to 
be neglected. But how has it been? 
We have only to reflect to be able to �
f 
see. "Had all our schools encouraged 
work in agricultural lines they would �
• 
now have an altogether different show- 
ing. There would not be so great dis- 
couragments."— Vol. 6, p. 177. �
a 
Let us review the lives of some of the 
men of old who were faithful to God, 
and we shall see that they were trained 
in this line which to-day has been so 
much neglected. Even Adam before he 
sinned, was commanded to dress and 
keep the garden, and was afterward 
told to till the ground because the work 
this required would be a blessing to 
him. Elisha was found plowing in the 
field when the call of the Lord came to 
him. He had learned the power of God, 
and knew that if necessary he could 
cause even the island to swim. This is 
the kind of faith that is developed by 
close communion with nature. 
What will the effect be when study 
in agricultural lines is made the basis of 
all our school work? "It would be a 
great aid in educational work could 
every school be so situated as to afford 
the pupils land for cultivation, and ac • 
cess to the fields and woods."—Ed., p. 
212. "In the cultivation of the soil 
the thoughtful worker will find that 
treasures little dreamed of are opening 
up before him. No one can succeed in 
agricultural or gardening without atten-
tion to the laws involved. . . The at-
tention required in transplanting, that 
not even a root-fiber shall be crowded 
or misplaced, the care of the young 
plants, the pruning and watering, the 
shielding from frost at night and sun by 
day, keeping out weeds, disease, insect-
pests, the training and arranging, not 
only teach important lessons concern-
ing the development of character, but 
THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER �
11 
the work itself is a means of develop-
ment. In cultivating carefulness, pa-
tience, attention to detail, obedience to 
law, it imparts a most essential train-
ing."—Ed., p. 111, 112. 
"As parents and teachers try to teach 
these lessons, the work should be made 
practical. Let the children themselves 
prepare the soil and sow the seed."—
Ed., p. 111. 
"The constant contact with the mys-
tery of life and the loveliness of nature, 
as well as the tenderness called forth 
in ministering to these beautiful objects 
of God's creation, tends to quicken the 
mind and refine and elevate the charac-
ter; and the lessons taught prepare the 
worker to deal more successfully with 
other minds."—Ed., p. 112. 
These extracts fully point out our 
duty and show us how to work, telling 
us the sure results if we carry them into 
effect. Shall we not exert our energy 
and influence to this end? 
COLLEGE VIEW YOUNG PEOPLE'S 
SOCIETY 
Good interest, aggressive work, and a 
good attendance are three encouraging 
features of the young people's society of 
College View. 
Several branch Sabbath-schools are 
being carried on in Lincoln by members 
of the society, and from the monthly 
report of these given at the last meet-
ing it is evident that they are but the 
entering wedge that will open many 
hitherto closed doors. 
The plan in the Sabbath meetings has 
been to have a study on some mission 
field, the main facts to be brought out 
by questions, also a Bible study on some 
;`practical theme, and enough other ex-
ercises to furnish variety. 
New members are being added every 
week, and other work is being planned 
for. A collection was taken last Sab-
bath for the society's missiony in Porto 
Rico, amounting to $8.98. M. E. ELLIS. 
TEACHERS WANTED 
In sending the renewal of his sub-
scription to the EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER, 
Prof. A. E. Doering, of North Dakota, 
makes the following request:— 
"Will you kindly insert a notice in 
the MESSENGER to the effect that we 
want teachers for home schools, and 
church schools, both for English and 
German schools. All applicants should 
write as soon as possible to myself, the 
superintendent for home and church 
schools of the North Dakota Conference. 
Address, Prof. A. E. Doering, Bowdon, 
N. Dak. 
ATTEND SCHOOL—WHEN? NOW 
J. C. ANDERSON, CLASS OF 1907 
As the beginning of the school year 
approaches, I often wonder what I can 
say that will induce young people to 
attend school and put in faithful work 
studying. 
All we are is through God's mercy, 
and it should be our constant study how 
to improve our time to His glory and 
the good of humanity. 
There will be but little time to earn 
money before school opens this fall, but 
what shall we do with what money or 
property we have? Material property 
may be swept away in an hour's time, 
but not so with an education. The more 
you use it the better it will become. It 
is the one thing that increases by use. 
Have your clothes neat and clean and 
then use the rest of your money to go to 
school. Any young man who can have 
fifty dollars clear after paying expenses 
to reach Union College, should go, un-
less sick or infirm parents need his sup-
port. Take working clothes along and 
work at what you can get to do, but not 
over thirty hours a week. By this means 
you can earn more and stay in school 
longer. The writer speaks from expeki-
ence.

morning, September 13, at nine o'clock. 
College View students will meet for 
classification Tuesday, at nine o'clock. 
Students living outside of College View 
S 
should be present on Tuesday, in order 
to secure rooms and be ready for the 
opening the day following. The work 
of classifying and organizing the school, 
and adjusting the program will be com-
pleted Thursday, and regular recitations 
will begin Friday. Those who wait till 
the following week, will be disap-
pointed. They will be behind two or 
three lessons. They will have missed 
the general instruction, the music reci-
tal, and the president's annual address. 
They will have to choose studies in har-
mony with the program, without having 
had a voice in its adjustment. Come 
early if you can, but do not fail to come 
late if you must. "Better late than 
never." All indications point to a large 
attendance. Most of the old students 
are coming back. When you read these 
words, decide to come with the rest.

"RUN SPEAK TO THIS YOUNG 
MAN" 
Youth is the critical period of life. 
It is the time when decisions are made 
which affect the whole future life. 
Many a young man or woman has been 
turned in the right direction by a time- if 
ly word of encouragment from some one 
older in years. Note the following 
from the pen of Sister White: — 
"There are numbers that ought to be-
come missionaries who never enter 
the field because those who are united

with them in church capacity or in 
our colleges, do not feel the burden 
of labor with them, to open before them 
the claims that God has upon all the 
powers, and do not pray with them and 
4 for them; and the eventful period which 
decides the plans and course of life 
passes, convictions with them are sti-
fled; other influences and inducements 
attract them, and temptations to seek 
worldly positions that will, they think, 
bring them money, take them into the 
worldly current. These young men 
might have been saved to the ministry 
through well organized plans."—C. E., 
pp. 45, 46. 
Think of it, brethren and sisters! 
Young men and women who might have 
been workers lost to the cause—drifting 
into the worldly current—because some 
one did not take the interest in them 
that should have been taken. 
We are nearing the time of year when 
hundreds of our young people ought to 
be entering our schools. "Run speak to 
that young man." You may see him in 
the work and in the kingdom of God as 
▪ a result of a few words of timely en-
couragement, or a few dollars spent in 
assisting him to school this fall. Many 
of our young people who are anxious 
for an education and desirous of fitting 
▪ themselves for usefulness in the cause 
lose courage after a few disappointments 
in regard to entering school. I know of 
many such who have lost their interest 
and drifted into the worldly current.

"Much has been lost by lack of atten-
tion to the young." Let us awake to the 
awful danger of those who are in the 
slippery paths of youth. "Run speak to

INDUSTRIAL WORK IN OUR 
SCHOOLS 
FLOYD BRALLIAR 
Every school should have industrial 
• work as a part of its work. It brings in 
a solidity and a definiteness that noth- 
ing else will do. I feel that we make a 
mistake whenever we plan even a 
church school without some manual 
training. Thought that is to take form 
through the hand must be clear cut and 
distinct. More than that, children de-
velop more interest in real things than 
in abstract theories. 
To make industrial work a success, 
every teacher must have a part. It will 
not do to say, "Go do" this or that. The 
teacher must have and manifest a true 
interest in all he asks his pupils to do. 
One who has no faith in industrial work 
being a most important item in educa-
tion will surely fail in the attempt to 
teach it. 
Many say, "What can we do?" The 
land is always present with us. With 
cold frames for pansies in fall, and hot 
beds in spring for plants of various 
kinds, window gardening and the spring 
gardening, there is always agricultural 
work to be done, even in the smallest 
church school. 
A few dollars will procure sufficient 
tools and lumber for training in the use 
of tools, and rightly managed it can be 
made self-supporting. No work can 
prove more beneficial than this. 
Then ordinary paper cutting and bas-
ket sloyd are valuable, especially to 
smaller children, and can be taught at 
any time of the year. 
Plain sewing and cooking should have 
a place in every school of higher class 
than the church school; and where they 
can be made a part of church school 
work without breaking into the regular 
class work, they should have a place 
even in a church school. A small cook 
stove, used for the preparation of a 
warm dinner need not make any break 
in class work, will largely solve the 
discipline problem at the noon hour, 
and will prove invaluable to many pu-
pils in after life. 
But whatever the lines of work adap-
ted to the individual school, all should 
plan to have something and do it well,

HE man who makes a good 
impression at the start has 
a good lead in the race for 
honor. This impression may be 
due to a great many things,—and 
not the least of these is a man's 
dress. 
The flashy dresser is more apt to 
make enemies than friends. The 
slouchy dresser is bound to fall 
short of his possibilities. It is the 
neat, careful dress thiit gains the stamp of approval every- 
where. Armstrong suits are 
flbabe to please
