To The Students 
To old students we extend our heart-
iest greeting, and wish you a year im-
proved in every way over last year. The 
MESSENGER will be run on much the 
r 
same plan as it has been since coming 
into our hands, except that we are now 
more experienced, have our work better 
and more thoroughly organized, and ex-
pect to give you a better paper each 
time of issuance. 
To the new students we give an en-
thusiastic welcome, and wish to explain 
a few things. In the first place, it is the 
entrance duty of every new student to 
subscribe for the MESSENGER. See any 
of the staff for that. Last spring the pa-
per was turned over into the hands of 
the students, and it has taken us some 
time to get over the experimental stage. 
The success of the paper is now in your 
hands, you who are here this year. Hav-
ing subscribed, and realizing that, as a 
student in the institution, you have an 
interest in the college paper, your duties 
are as follows: Do your best in every 
line of work, so that reports of only 
pleasant things may find their way into 
the MESSENGER. Be on the lookout for 
news items of interest to the student 
body, for clippings, for good themes or 
articles of your own composition, for 
bright ideas of any sort, and for sugges-
tions for the betterment of the paper; 
observe the little box at the right of the 
library entrance, and when you have 
any of the above material on hand, drop 
it into that box. It will go directly to 
us. Another thing, when you are asked 
to do reporting for any special thing, do 
not say you can not, but do it cheerfully 
and willingly. We are students, carry-
ing just as heavy school work as you, 
and we do not think it more than fair 
to ask you to help us often. 
Keep these things in mind, and you 
will make an up-to-date, successful .stu-
dent. 
A New Musical Organization 
The orchestral work shown at the 
nurses' graduating exercises was indeed 
a surprise. E. L. Chapman is conductor. 
Though they have not been practicing 
long, they are doing excellent work. Fol-
lowing is the instrumentation: 3 1st Vio-
lins, 2 2d Violins, 'Cello, Double Bass, 
Flute, 1st and 2d Clarinet, 1st and 2d 
Cornet, Horn, Trombone, Piano, and 
Drums. The students would appreciate 
hearing them often at coming winter en-
tertainments. 
A well organized committee had charge 
of meeting the new students this year. 
Courteous students, familiar with Lincoln, 
met every train that came in during the 
entrance days, and carefully saw that 
the new students arrived safely in College 
View. Other students met them at the 
street cars, and welcomed them into the 
College homes. Getting new students 
rightly started has been a crying need 
for some years, and this committee has 
done a noble work.

THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER 
Staff Changes 
It is with regret that we learn that 
our business manager, Frank R. Isaac, 
will not return to school this year. He 
held an important place on the staff, 
and at the same time was an active stu-
dent and Christian worker, so other cir-
cles beside our own will greatly miss him. 
His absence makes the election of a new 
business manager necessary, and this 
was accomplished at a session of the 
Messenger Association held Tuesday 
morning, October 5th, in the chapel, Mr. 
Orrel Graham being chosen. Mr. Graham 
has been in school for several years and 
has proven himself a thorough, efficient 
student, and though inexperienced in 
the place, we feel sure that the finances 
of the paper will flourish under his man-
agement. 
We must mention another change. 
Mr. Howard G. Bayley, former editor of 
the missionary department of the paper, 
recently sent in his resignation, since a 
sudden change in his plans necessitates 
his absence this year. The school as a 
body was Mr. Bayley's friend, and he 
was always the life of the group, class, 
or meeting in which he was found. He 
is at present completing a business course 
in Battle Creek, and expects soon to take 
up stenographic work. 
We feel, however, that his place on 
the staff will be ably filled by Miss Mary 
Moore, a resident student, who, as such, 
will need no recommendation. All who 
know of her thoroughly consecrated 
life need no assurance that she is ex-
actly the right person to fill this place. 
And now, though Mr. Isaac and Mr. 
Bayley have no longer any official con-
nection with the MESSENGER , we hope 
they will remain loyal friends and fre-
quent contributors to the paper. 
The truest end of life is to know the 
life that never ends.— Wm- Penn. 
Concerning Our Summer Workers 
Perhaps only a few of our readers ap-
preciate the fact that it has been 
through the kindness of one whose 
name does not appear on the staff that 
they have received their MESSENGER at 
all during the past summer. 
Mr. George A. Nelson has faithfully 
performed the duties of office editor 
from the close of school until the last 
number, during the absence of the regu-
lar officers. Mr. Nelson was absolutely 
uninfluenced by personal advantage, do-
ing the work gratis, thus deserving double 
appreciation. He has held the paper to-
gether under particularly trying circum-
stances, and if it were not for him and 
his able assistants, Misses Boutelle and 
Hardesty, and Mr. Alphonso Anderson, 
the paper would surely have gone to an 
inglorious end this summer. 
We desire thus to express bur grati-
tude to them, and though they are now 
released, we hope they will still retain 
an interest in the paper, and give us 
their valuable assistance at times. 
We are delighted with the prosperous 
look and smooth running of things 
around the College dormitory and halls. 
The domestic work, especially, is being 
cared for very nicely under the new man-
agement. Every one pronounces the 
new matron "all right." 
Previous to the opening of school, the 
chapel walls and ceiling were put into 
good shape by the calciminers. It is cer-
tainly a better looking room now and a 
more fit place in which to worship God. 
Registration was accomplished with 
half the trouble and worry of former 
years. Everything is going in a fine 
way and let us each do our part to keep 
it so.

Union College Opens Her Nineteenth 
Year 
Union College opened the nineteenth 
year of her history on Wednesday, Sep-
tember 29th, 1909. Prospects for a prof-
itable school year were never better. 
The new method of registration has done 
away with a great deal of extra work for 
the president and registrar, and nothing 
has occurred to cause a jar. Our open-
ing addresses have been from the best 
men the denomination affords, on ac-
count of the Conference Council being 
in session here. 
There are at present 375 students en-
rolled, .a number exceeding by thirty-
four that at the end of last year's first 
two weeks. If we may judge by this 
comparison, this year's enrolment will 
later on run far ahead of last year's, 
which was 594. There are thirty-eight 
gentlemen in College Hall, sixty-eight 
ladies and twenty-six gentlemen in South 
Hall, and thirty-one gentlemen in East 
Hall, making a total of 163 in the Col-
lege Homes. 
On account of the Council and other 
things coming in to take up the time 
and attention of both faculty and stu-
dents, the faculty reception is late. The 
students, however, are anticipating it, 
and hope that it will not be delayed 
long. 
The Personal Workers' Bands are do-
ing good work these first days of school. 
The work done by the Young Women's 
Band during the past summer is as fol-
lows: Fifty-three missionary letters writ-
ten, eighteen missionary letters received, 
400 papers given away, 103 missionary 
visits, 159 hours of Christian help work, 
and thirty-five hours reading to the 
blind. 
"To escape criticism," says an adver-
tising card, "do nothing, say nothing, be 
nothing." 
Faculty Changes 
There are few changes in the faculty. 
W. H. Buxton comes from Keene, 
Texas, well recommended and will be 
head of the Mathematical department. 
W. S. Butterbaugh comes from Edge-
mont, S. Dak., to take charge of the Bio-
logical Sciences, Doctor Larson having 
gone as a medical missionary to China. 
Mrs. P. A. Field will be his assistant, 
having charge of the ladies' practical hy-
drotherapy work. 
Mrs. Rudolph Schopbach is at the 
head of the Art department, Miss Nor-
thrup being away for a year. 
M. S. Reppe was heartily welcomed 
into the Dano-Norwegian department. 
He was gone on a leave of absence in 
'08-'09, studying in Norway. 
Carl Engel, a student of Mr. Steckel-
berg, of the University School of Music, 
will have charge of the violin depart-
ment. In this,Union counts herself very 
fortunate indeed. 
Miss Ruby Owen comes from the 
Walla Walla, Washington school, to take 
charge of the sewing class. 
0. Burdick is now at the head of the 
carpentry work. 
The General Conference Council 
Union students are at present enjoy-
ing the great privilege of hearing many 
of the most prominent men of the de-
nomination, who are here for the Gen-
eral Conference Council, which opened at 
2:30 p. m., Tuesday, Oct. 5th, in the 
church. Eld. A. G. Daniells, president of 
the Conference, addressed the meeting on 
missions and missionary r ork. There 
were sessions of the Conference from 8:30 
to 12:00 in the forenoon, and from 2:30 
to 5:00 in the afternoon, and from 7:30 
to 9:00 in the evening. Some one of the 
Council spoke to the students every 
morning at the chapel hour-10:00 a. m. 
About one hundred delegates were 
here.

THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER 
Prof. H. A. Morrison to South 
Lancaster 
In the history of Union College, prob-
ably the departure of no member of the 
faculty has caused more regret than that 
of Prof. H. A. Morrison, who left Sunday, 
Sept. 26th, for Smith Lancaster, Mass. 
Professor Morrison has been a part of the 
institution for sixteen years, having taught 
in the Mathematical department for nine 
years and at the head of it for the last 
five. He graduated from the Scientific 
Course in 1900, then being the president 
of his class, and having since served a 
term as president of the Alumni. At the 
time he left, he was a member of the 
Union College Board. 
Mrs. Morrison, formerly Miss Vera E. 
Thompson, whose mother now resides in 
College View, was a student here, and 
graduated from the Scientific Department 
in 1903. For several years she taught in 
the History department. As teachers, 
both Professor and Mrs. Morrison reached 
the highest mark of success, knowing what 
they taught and teaching what they knew, 
and being friend and adviser of each pu-
pil with whom they came in touch. They 
were among the most active workers in 
the Christian life of the school. They are 
known by reputation in the South Lan-
caster school, which is one of the oldest 
and best-known schools of the denomina-
tion, and when it was announced to the 
school in session that Professor Morrison 
was coming to take charge of the Math-
ematical work there, hearty applause was 
given. We shall try to rejoice in their 
gain, notwithstanding our own loss. The 
best wishes of the entire school and vil-
lage are with them in their new home, and 
we hope they will not forget College View 
nor their MESSENGER friends. 
Every gem of thought, every flash of 
intellect, is from the Light of the world. 
—Mrs. E. G. White. 
A Day of Promise 
The first Sabbath of the school year 
was surely a promising day for this year's 
success in Union College. It began by 
having sunset services on Friday even-
ing. At this time, in the Persona) Work 
Bands, plans for carrying on active 
Christian work among the students were 
discussed. The spirit of earnestness and 
Christian love was most apparent in 
these meetings. Dr. Selmon spoke to 
those attending worship in South Hall 
parlor, about the preparation needed for 
becoming a missionary. His talk was 
indeed an incentive for thoroughness in 
every day work, whether one is plan-
ning on going to a foreign field or not. 
A social meeting of the entire student 
body, conducted by President Lewis and 
Elder Burg in the English chapel, fol-
lowed. A large number of students took 
part and bore encouraging testimonies. 
Sabbath morning the regular student 
Sabbath-school was held in the chapel. 
Mr. P. A. Field acted as superintendent 
for the time. On motion, a committee 
was appointed to nominate officers for 
the following quarter. Elder Burg 
preached an excellent Sabbath sermon 
at the 11:00 o'clock hour. 
This Sabbath was also the day for the 
young people's quarterly meeting. A 
large majority of the students attended 
the service, which was held in the after-
noon, and many consecrations were 
made. 
A short meeting of the different de-
partments of the Young People's Society 
was then held, and the following officers 
were elected for a term of three months. 
Young People's Society of Missionary 
Volunteers: P. A. Field, leader; Alphonso 
N. Anderson, secretary; Calvin Bungor, 
treasurer; Arthur R. Smith, chorister; 
Jess Fair, organist. Young Men's Per-
sonal Work Band: Eugene Rowell, 
leader; Allen Rich, secretary. Young 
THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER �

Women's Personal Work Band: Eunice 
Crawford, leader; Leona Tuley, sec-
retary. Junior 'Boys: Myron Jenkins, 
leader. Junior Girls: Irma Lewis, leader. 
A praise service was held at sunset in 
South Hall parlor. The day was surely 
a blessing to all who put themselves in 
tune with God, and it is hoped and be-
lieved that it was only an index of the 
character of the school year. 
Music Faculty Recital. 
The first public event of the school 
year was a faculty recital given by the 
Union College School of Music, in the col-
lege chapel, Thursday evening, Sept. 30th. 
The chapel was more than full, and 
perfect order prevailed while a delightful 
program of high-class music was given. 
The entertainment certainly speaks well 
for the success of this department under 
the present management, which is as fol-
lows: C. Nevison Roberts, Director, and 
teacher of Piano and Violin; Irma E. 
Lewis, Organ; J. L. Crouse, Sight-singing 
and Band; Ada J. Madison, Mandolin and 
Guitar; Mrs S. Smith, Voice and Piano. 
The following program was carried out 
without change:- 
1. Organ, Sextette from "Lucia di Lam-
mermoor" Donizetti; Miss Lewis. 2. Gui-
tar, Theme and Variations, "The Last 
Rose of Summer," De Lano ;Miss Madison. 
3. Songs, (a) "Synnove's Song," Kjerulf; 
(b) "Venetian Song," Tosti; Mrs. Smith. 
4. Violin, "Fantasie Pastorale," Singelee; 
Mr. Roberts. 5. Organ, (a) "Prayer," 
Groven; (b) "Swedish Wedding March," 
Sodermann-Gleason; Miss Lewis. 6. 
Mandolin, (a) "Air Melodieux," Bohm; 
(b) "Wiegenlied" (Cradle Song), Hau-
ser; Miss Madison. 7. Song, "0 Divine 
Redeemer" (violin obligato), Gounod; 
Mrs. Smith. 8. Piano, "Murmurs Aeo-
lian," Gottschalk; Mr. Roberts. 
"Men are the slaves of duty or of force." 
Nurses' Commencement 
A class of four ladies graduated from 
the Nebraska Sanitarium Training-
school on the evening of October 3d. 
They were Laura V. Swegles, Hattie 
Garten, Ora Stacy, and Jensena Ander-
son. The class motto was "Anything—
Anytime—Anywhere," and was pret-
tily worked out in an immense illumi-
nated star hung above the rostrum. 
The aim of the class was "To the Work," 
the colors, olive green and old rose; and 
the class flower, the chrysanthemum. 
Following is the program of the exer-
cises in detail:-- 
Coronation March from "Le Prophete," 
Meyerbeer, Orchestra; Song, "Anywhere 
with Jesus," Congregation; Invocation, 
Eld. H. R. Johnson; Selection, Orches-
tra; Address, Eld. E. T. Russell; Vocal 
Solo, "Slave Song," del Riego, Jess Fair; 
Class Paper, Laura V. Swegles; Class 
Song, "Toiling on," Male Quartet; Pre-
sentation of Diplomas, Dr. Orville Rock-
well; Selection, "Graf von Moldau," 
Gustav Luders, Orchestra; Benediction, 
D. R. Callahan. 
The Rural Health Retreat, owned by 
Dr. C. F. Jenkins, burned to the ground 
Tuesday afternoon. The fire caught from 
the explosion of a gasoline stove in the 
upper part of the building. The roof 
burned first, and then the body, which 
went so slowly that there was ample 
time to remove the patients and most 
of the household goods. As there was 
no adequate water supply, nothing could 
be done to extinguish the fire. The insu-
rance will amount to about one-half the 
value of the building. 
The method of education God desired 
to establish in Israel, was the training 
and discipline for practical usefulness. 
In the Hebrew economy there was labor 
for brain and hand.

THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER 
How to Order the "Missions" Num-
ber of the Review 
Bro. J. H. Robison, of Florida, sends 
in the first order for the "Missions" 
number of the Review. He says:— 
"Will you please send me one hun-
dred copies of the special Review. I 
used fifty copies last year, but think I 
can do better this time, as I have had 
some experience." 
Judging from the enthusiastic letters 
already received from our conference 
presidents and other workers, we believe 
that Brother Robison but voices the ex-
perience of most of those who partici-
pated in the campaign last year. 
Kindly bear in mind these four sug-
gestions when placing your order:- 
1. All orders for this special "Mis-
sions" number of the Review, and for 
circulars, canvasses, and other campaign 
supplies, should be sent to the secretary 
of your Conference Tract Society. 
2. Where there is no Conference Tract 
Society, or in case the Tract Society 
address is unknown, order direct from 
A. J. S. Bourdeau, Takoma Park, Wash-
ington, D. C. 
3. To avoid confusion please do not 
order the "Missions" Review, nor any 
campaign supplies from the Review and 
Herald Publishing Association. 
4. Give us as much time as possible 
to fill orders. Tardiness in ordering last 
year caused disappointment to hundreds 
of faithful workers. 
A. J. S. BOURDEAU, 
Missionary Secretary General Con-
ference Publishing Department. 
Leaders Taking the Lead 
A. G. DANIELS 
Letters full of good cheer, good sug-
gestions, and good plans are coming in 
from Conference Presidents, concerning 
the Harvest Ingathering Campaign. 
Eld. William Covert, president of the 
Northern Illinois Conference, writes:— 
"I have dictated a letter to be sent 
to all our churches concerning this cam-
paign. This is (lone in order to enlist 
their interest immediately, so that we 
may secure as large an offering as pos-
sible this fall." 
Eld. B. F. Kneeland, president of 
the New Jersey Conference, writes:— 
"I am in hearty sympathy with the 
plan. I know that in this conference we 
have felt the uplift which came from the 
effort last year. �
Before your letter 
reached me, I had sent out a call for a 
meeting of our Conference Committee, to 
consider plans for the present campaign 
and thoroughly organize the field of 
labor. We have learned some very 
valuable lessons from the experience of 
last year, and I believe we can make 
this plan much more effectual. It will 
be safe to plan on our Conference using a 
larger number of Reviews than last year." 
These letters have the right ring. We 
trust that every conference will organize 
for thorough effective work, so that all 
the units in this cause may count full 
value in their proper place. The calls 
from the great harvest field are many, 
and the needs are great. The mission-
aries already sent out must be sup-
ported, and many others must soon go. 
May the Lord greatly bless both leaders 
and people. "For that the leaders 
took the lead in Israel, for that 
the people offered themselves willingly, 
bless ye Jehovah. My heart is toward 
the governors of Israel, that offered 
themselves willingly among the people: 
Bless ye Jehovah." Judges 5: 2, 9. (A. 
R. V.)

A Letter from Joel Rogers 
[This letter was read before the Young People's Society, 
Sept. 18th, but a large majority of the members being ab-
sent, we know it will be appreciated to copy it in the MES-
SENGER for them and for our other readers. Ed.] 
My Dear Young Friends:— 
It was with great pleasure that I 
noticed in the Commencement Number 
of the MESSENGER an item regarding the 
fund for our support in this field. I 
have hesitated to write anything this 
past year to you, not knowing whether 
or not you were still working on this 
fund. Of course you know that the 
Mission Board does not correspond with 
missionaries directly, regarding such 
funds. I believe the last that I heard 
from any of your members was a letter 
from Brother Beardsley of the South Da-
kota Conference. His letter came a year 
ago and I am ashamed to tell you that 
it is still unanswered. You will under-
stand, however, that it is no intentional 
slight when I say that his is only one 
among about a hundred that have met 
the same lot. The past year has been 
one of very busy cares with us here. 
We are thankful to say that this fact is 
due principally to the growth of the 
work. 
Recently I sent a report to the Govern-
ment Office of this Colony, showing the 
enrolment of our eight schools the past 
year to have been 472, with a daily at-
tendance of 304. While we feel that this 
is only a beginning, we see that God 
has wonderfully blessed us in sending this 
number to be taught His last message. 
The Truth is given them in simple, daily 
Bible lessons, in Sabbath-school and 
church. Some hear it and are glad 
and hasten to tell others. Of course 
many more than these- enrolled in our 
schools hear the Message. We are often 
surprised when boys come to us from 
long distances, saying, "My friend told 
me about this mission where the Word 
of God is taught." On the very day 
when this letter is being written, no less 
than eight boys have come, some two 
hundred miles or more. What to do 
with the large number of applicants is 
becoming a serious question. When we 
can not receive all, how are we to know 
which ones will obey the Truth and 
teach it to others. 
Just now we feel our isolation keenly 
because of disappointment over an ex-
pected visit from our Union Confer-
ence President. It was arranged at the 
Union Conference meeting in January 
for Elder Porter to visit' this field and 
bring with him two young sisters for us. 
The workers carne, but we have just 
learned that Elder Porter can not come 
this year. Since the Nyasa Mission was 
opened only one conference president 
has visited the field. That was five 
years ago and conditions are much 
changed. 
This month is devoted to a Teachers' 
Institute, and we have in training here 
twenty-seven native teachers and assis-
tants. We are laying plans to open at 
least four new schools and may be able 
to open others. As the village school 
houses are built of small poles and long 
grass, the expense is nothing, and the 
time about ten days. Our schools will 
number thirteen or more next year. 
Dear young people, do not f ail nor be 
discouraged in your determination to 
prepare for a part in this reaping work 
in God's great harvest field. Truly the 
fields are white to harvest. 
We appreciate very much the MESSEN-
GER which comes regularly through your 
kindness and generosity, I believe. It 
is a very creditable paper, and of course 
Union College would send out no other. 
I shall be glad to hear that you have se-
cured the necessary one thousand sub-
scribers. 
It will be a great pleasure to hear from 
any member of your society and I pray 
that your efforts may be richly blessed. 
Sincerely your brother.

Sermonette No. 6 
F. M. BURG 
Text: "And Peter followed Him afar off." 
Mark 14: 54. 
How many are doing the same thing to-
day! And do you know what followed in 
Peter's experience as a natural result? The 
familiar record later in this chapter is that he 
denied his Lord, vehemently disclaiming 
any friendly relations with Him. Do not 
forget that like causes will produce like re-
sults. So if any of us are following Him in 
the way that Peter did, as noted in this Scrip-
ture, we will sooner or later deny Him as did 
Peter. 
Then could we ask ourselves a more vital 
question than this, Am I following Jesus at 
a distance, or am I walking at His side? 
One very important thought before we 
apply a few tests to our experience. The 
occasion when Peter denied Christ was an 
extraordinary one. He was on trial for His 
life. We almost wonder that one would 
have been so untrue to his Master under 
these circumstances. But have you thought 
that we are face to face with just the same 
responsibility as was Peter and the other 
persons who were actors in connection with 
that tragic drama? It is so. Having had 
our attention arrested by the preaching of 
the cross, we face just as real and weighty 
responsibility as though we had been pres-
ent when He was among men in person and 
on trial for His life. Then what is our atti-
tude toward this Jesus who is called Christ? 
A few tests: first, to sum up every detail of 
our lives. Are we so living while professing 
to follow Him that it is a question with those 
who see us, whether we are of His or not? 
Or, do our lives in our home relations, our 
social relations, our business relations, every-
where and under all circumstances, tell the 
world that we have been with Jesus and 
learned of Him? 
Do those who know us as professing 
Christians or followers of Him, know that 
we are one of His disciples by observing our 
zeal and interest in the appointed seasons of 
worship—the hour of family worship, the 
prayer-meeting, the Sabbath service? 
When they see us in the house of God, 
are they assured that we are His disciples by 
our conduct and attitude? The occasion for 
this question is that often persons who claim 
to be His followers go to church and sit in 
the back seats or in the gallery, and while 
the Lord's servant is addressing the people, 
pay but little attention to the message, and 
sometimes keep up an interview with some 
one during the sermon, or even laugh and in 
other ways show a disrespect that surely in-
dicates that they follow Him at a distance. 
And another thing that bears on the ques-
tion: do you testify of your intimate relation 
with this man Christ by kneeling when 
prayer is offered? 
I ask this question for 
the reason that the tendency to sit bolt up-
right while prayer is offered, is grow-
ing to such an extent that a word of 
warning should be given. 
A few other things before conclusion: do 
you use slang language and so lead others 
to believe that you do not follow Him 
closely? Maybe you have heard some ex-
pression like this, "Hello, kid." I can not 
think that you have been guilty of using 
such coarse and lowering expressions; but 
I have heard it so often on the part of 
young women that I can not refrain from 
expressing my disgust and revulsion. "He 
beats the hand," "you bet," etc., etc. 
I re-
frain from speaking of further details lest I 
lower the tone of this paper. But fellow-
Christian, do our words, does our dress, does 
our devotion, do our lives in every respect 
testify that we are faithful followers of the 
Man of Galilee? 
We are His witnesses, and if we confess 
Him before men He will confess our names 
before God and the angels; but if we deny 
Him, He will deny us. 
Let me to-day do something that shall take 
A little sadness from the world's vast store,

Of joy's too scanty sum a little more.

Jordan-Beardsley 
Miss Aural Jordan and Mr. J. Irving 
Beardsley were married at Miss Jordan's 
home in Southerland, Iowa, Sept. 30th, 
at 8:00 a. m., by Eld. R. A. Underwood, 
of the Minnesota Conference. They left 
the same morning for a few days' stay 
at Minneapolis, after which they will go 
to Lacombe, Alberta, to take charge of 
the school there. 
The groom's mother, Mrs. A. J. Beards-
ley, and his sister, Miss Hattie Beards-
ley, both of College View, attended the 
wedding. 
Both Mr. and Mrs. Beardsley are so 
well known in the College and, in fact, 
in the whole conference, that extended 
comment on the part of the M ESSENGER 
is entirely 'unnecessary. Mr. Beardsley 
graduated from the Literary Course in 
1908, and she in 1907. Since then he 
has been Educational Secretary in South 
Dakota, and she has been teaching at 
Elk Point. 
On account of their thoroughly Chris-
tian natures and tactful abilities, they 
are among our most successful and pop-
ular workers. 
The MESSENGER joins their numberless 
host of friends in wishing them years of 
happy usefulness for God. 
Dymond-Covey 
On the evening of September twenty-
second, Miss Nellie Dymond, youngest 
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Dy-
mond, of this city, and Mr. George 
W. Covey, son of Mr. and Mrs. D. L. 
Covey, also of College View, were mar-
ried at the home of the bride. 
Mrs. Thompson, sister of the bride, 
and Miss Ruby Wiseman received the 
guests, of whom there were about sixty, 
and seated them in the living room. 
Shorty after eight o'clock, Elder Hart 
took his place under the beautiful can-
opy of green and white, which had been 
arranged in a corner of the parlor. Miss 
Imogene Morrison then advanced toward 
him through the west parlor, and Mr. 
Alfred Adson through the living-room, 
while the Lohengrin wedding march was 
being softy played by Mrs. Fred Nelson. 
Following Mr. Adson came the groom 
attended by Mr. Jess Fair. They were 
met at the bower by the bride and her 
maid, Miss Alice Mosser, before whose 
pathway little Fern Whiteman had 
prettily strewn roses. The assembled 
guests then arose while Elder Hart con-
ducted the ceremony that joined Miss 
Dymond and Mr. Covey life to life. 
Those present then took occasion to 
extend their congratulations and good 
wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Covey. 
Miss Christine House sang sweetly, 
Bond's " I Love You Truly," and Mr. 
Chauncey Smith, Greene's "There Let 
Me Rest." 
A two course supper was served by 
Misses Inez Shultz, Geneva Dawson, 
Charlene Morrison, Grace Aul, and 
Messers. Joe Warren, Ansel Van Syoc, 
Lawrence Northrup, and Lee Graves. 
Miss Christine House presided at the 
fruit-punch howl. 
The pretty decorations of white flowers 
and green asparagus deserve especial 
mention. 
The many useful and handsome pres-
ents only partly show the good will of 
friends toward the young couple, who 
have both been students in Union Col-
lege, and for whom all who know them, 
including the the MESSENGER staff, wish 
the best things of life. 
Mr. Covey will continue to pursue his 
medical course at the State University. 
Miss Maitie Anderson and Mr. Bert 
Hall were married Oct, 5th, at Crab Or-
chard, Nebr. Mrs. Hall was in school in 
'07—'08, and has many friends among 
the students. They will live in the wes-
tern part of the state. .

Shower for Miss Dymond 
A miscellaneous shower for Miss Nellie 
Dymond was given Monday afternoon, 
Sept. 20th, at the home of Mrs. Covey. 
It was to be a surprise for Miss Dymond, 
so the guests,about twenty of her friends, 
assembled at 3:00—earlier than the time 
she was to be artfully brought to the 
scene. Each guest tied her package to a 
long string, one end of which was tied to 
the table leg, and then took it to some 
odd place of concealment. When at last 
the prospective bride arrived, she had to 
untangle the intricacy, but she seemed 
to think it worth while, for each string 
took her to a beautiful gift of some sort. 
The last string led her up stairs, and at 
the end of it, was what she pronounced 
"the largest and best of all"—Mr. Covey. 
A dainty lunch of ice cream, cake, and 
fruit juice was served at small tables.The 
guests all wished Miss Dymond many 
showers of blessings in her future life.

THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER 
Mr. Ernest Nelson is attending school 
at the Stuart Academy, Stuart, Ia. 
Miss Pearl Fair returned from Omaha, 
Tuesday morning. She was visiting rel-
atives and friends there during the Ak-
sarben Carnival. 
The last thing Cush Sparks did before 
leaving for China, was to give one of 
the editors a year's subscription to the 
MESSENGER. We will remember Mr. 
Sparks for this. 
Wm. and Chris Eden are very busy at 
their home, Talmage, Nebr., harvesting 
their potato crop, which will exceed nine 
thousand bushels. They say they will 
have a few potatoes to sell. When this 
work is over William expects to attend 
school. 
Arthur C. Weaver, who attended 
Union College in 1899-1900, is "holding 
down a claim" in North Dakota. He is 
farming 135 acres of land this year. He 
says the country is developing very rap-
idly. The Northern Pacific Railway is 
building a railroad just five miles from 
his land, which will be in running order 
next summer. At present he has to go 
twenty-one miles to town. 
One of our most interesting visitors 
lately was Dr. Selmon, from China. 
Saturday night, October 2d, he gave an 
illustrated lecture in the chapel, show-
ing many pictures of Chinese life and 
customs. Dr. Selmon brought with him 
to this country a little Chinese boy and 
girl, aged two and three, whom he had 
rescued when mere infants. �
At the 
lecture, these little people went about 
in the audience and sold post card 
pictures of themselves, the money going 
to help educate children of Christian Chi-
nese. Dr. Selmon has been laboring with 
John Anderson, a former Union College 
student, whose many friends here sent 
a nice Christmas present of money to 
him by Doctor Selmon. 
Leo Thiel is one of the latest arrivals 
at Union. 
Miss Ruth Strong has returned to her 
home in Washington. 
Glenn George and wife are visiting 
relatives in College View. 
Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Nagel left College 
View for China, October 10th. 
"It is the grand endeavor of the Gos-
pel to communicate God to men." 
The MESSENGER now has an office on 
third floor of the college, directly over 
the President's office. The editors 
will doubtless look more dignified and 
important in the future. 
Carrie Dowden, former Sabbath-school 
Secretary of western Colorado, has 
found it impossible to continue her 
duties, and Grace Dowden has been 
4 
chosen to succeed her. Carrie Dowen 
was a student in Union several years 
ago. 
Chas. F. Keeling, Hamilton, Montana, 
writes to renew his subscription to the 
MESSENGER, and says he was a student 
at Union during the school year 1896-
1897. He says, "I can truly say I never 
received so much benefit along educa-
tional lines in so short a period of time, 
as I received while there." 
Miss Florence Van Dorn, who attend-
ed Union College during the year 1902-
1903, is now at her home at Rodney, 
Iowa. She expected to return to Union 
this year, but was not able to do so. 
She hopes to be with us again next year. 
She says, "I never enjoyed a year of my 
life as much as I did that year in Union 
College." 
Card of Thanks. 
We desire to express our heartfelt thanks 
to the many kind friends and neighbors for 
their kind assistance and sympathy during the 
sickness and burial of our darling little daugh-
ter, Lola Fern.

City Bible Work 
A class for doing practical Bible work 
in the city (Lincoln) is being organized 
by Prof. D. E. Huffman. There are sev-
eral departments of the work—one, that 
of distributing 500 sets of The Family 
Bible Teacher to 500 families in Lin-
coln, has already begun. Another part 
of the practical class work will be to 
give out, each week, the twenty-five 
special numbers of the Signs, beginning 
with the issue of Oct. 6th. These num-
bers will contain articles on the cardinal 
points of present truth; details of this 
denomination-wide movement will be 
found in another column. 
The class will also attend the Bible 
classes held every Sunday in the promi-
nent churches of the city.
