THE SUNSHINE BANDS GIVE M. V. PROGRAM Four Scenes Include Story Hour at the Orphanage and the Orthopedic The Sunshine bands, under the direc- tion of James Gaitens, demonstrated very vividly in the regular Missionary Volun- teer hour the work the bands are doing on Sabbath afternoons and the results that are really being seen. The program was a dialogue in four scenes, presenting in the first a typical hour with the children of an orphanage, in which Evelyn Kelstrom, Sigrid Olson, Aileen Carter, and Ruby McQuerry took part with stories and songs for the young- sters. The following scenes presented a connected story of the contact with one patient at the Orthopedic hospital and the results. In the second scene Frieda Myrtle Fullerton took the part of the patient at the hospital, Mabel Ellwanger the part of nurse, and Mary H. Thompson a Sun- shine band visitor who left the patient a paper to read as she left. Scene three presented the recovered patient at her home in conversation with her friend, a part taken by Ruth Gardner, in which both determined to become nurses and to enter training at the Orthopedic hospital because of the pleasant memories of the days spent there and of the visits of the Sunshine bands from Union college. Some years elapsed between this and the last scene, which, as Mr. Gaitens explained, pictured the future of this story which so far had been based on a true experi- ence. A pleasant room in the dispen- sary of a South American mission station was shown in which the nurse, Ermina Powell, administered treatment to an In- dian mother's baby and conducted her regular afternoon story hour for a very interested and interesting group of In- dian children. The part of the Indian mother was taken by Agnes Henderson, who wore a native costume of the South American Indian. Between scenes and during some parts of the program soft music was furnished by Martha Hassenpfiug at the organ. 0 The Harvest lngathering Funds Are Still Growing The present total of $3,207.16 for Har- vest Ingathering is more than the College View church has gathered for missions in any past year. One boy five years old has made a re- markable record. Little Paul Eden has solicited 903 pennies and two fifty-cent pieces, thus raising a little more than ten dollars. The campaign is not yet over. In ac- cordance with the telegram read Sabbath from the General conference president, stating that there is a shortage in the mission funds for the coming year, plans are being laid to continue the work un- til it is finished and the territory has been covered. The singing band went out again Saturday evening and other groups are still at work. followed. The leader of the girls, Doro- thy Aultfather, said she felt that the boys had helped them win, though in a unique way. "We would never have won if you boys had not had us so well scared that you would win," she said. The leader of the boys, Walter Howe, acknowledged defeat in a spirit of good sportsmanship and thanked his fellow- leaders for their work. Although the girls won, the disparity between the totals is less than last year and it is a young man who has the honor of being the first to win the scholarship offered by the school. Miss Kathryn Jensen of the General conference health department, spoke Wednesday at the union prayer meeting in the church, also to the nurses of the Orthopedic hospital at their chapel hour Thursday morning. Suggests That All At the Table Join In the Conversation By NORMA HILDE Why is it that when one comes into the dining room with his tray of food, and our dining room hostess assigns to him the place of host or hostess at a table that he, by a twist of an eyebrow or some other facial expression, lets her know that his roommate is coming just behind, and that he would gladly fill the position? Also why does the roommate get so stirred up when he realizes what has been put over on him? There are several answers, but the most prominent seems to be that it is so hard to find something to talk about at the table. It seems strange that that should be such a problem among college men and women. It may be that we arc like an old phonograph. We have talked so much in our classes that we have just run down. Suppose that you went to dinner at some really fine home, and at that din- ner the host and hostess did all the talk- ing while none of the guests said a word during the entire meal. It would be ter- ribly embarrassing, and you would proba- bly never go back, no matter how ex- quisite their home or tasty their food. Many times we are placed at tables at which are people with whom we are not very well acquainted. Then we very often have a table answering the follow- ing description. The hostess sits racking her brain to find some topic to talk about. At last in desperation breaks out with some re- mark about the weather. Then a dainty young thing sitting on her right, who has been taught to be sociable at the table wonders perhaps if we'll have the hike. At the end of the table there is a young fellow who has taken quite a large din- ner and is afraid to stop to talk because he fears that he will not have finished his meal by the time the rest do. Therefore he sits silently studying which mouthful to take next, and how to do it with the most rapidity. The man sitting next to the host will (Continued on page four) OWER The Clock Tower is a good Advertising Medium VOL. V. COLLEGE VIEW STATION, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, NOVEMBER 13, 1930 No. 6 DEFEAT IS TURNED INTO VICTORY AS CAMPAIGN IS CLOSED OVER ONE THOUSAND SUBSCRIPTIONS ADDED PECAN INDUSTRY NOW OPERATING Mrs. Leslie is the New Manager; Mr. Leslie Is Acting As Pecan Salesman Health intelligence was the subject of the chapel talk given Wednesday at Union college by Kathryn L. Jensen, R. N., secretary for the nurse's department of the Seventh-day Adventist medical department, located at Washington D. C. She said, "Individual health intelligence will mean that each lives in the light of what he knows. Schools place safeguards about the students that their health may be preserved. These safe- guards are rules and laws based on sound principles." Miss Jensen, in giving statistics regard- ing the health of young people, said, 'Hundreds of young people do not real- ize the seriousness of minor defects and fail to correct them. Years later these same defects result in serious trouble's. Minor health defects should be given thoughtful consideration, for people must have health to carry on their work." Miss Jensen showed many graphs and charts. One graph showed the result of a nine-year study of the health status of scholars in elementary schools, academ- ies, and colleges. She said, "According to the statistics, heart, lung, skin, and eye defects increase in colleges. From every twenty-seven young people sent to mission fields only six are able to re- (Continued on page four) MISS JENSEN SPEAKS Charts Regarding Health of Children and Missionaries Shown WARNS OF PERIL FACING CHURCH The student recital held Sunday after- noon at three o'clock in Mrs. Ledington's studio included the expression as well as the music department. The first number was a piano solo, "Prelude in G," by Ed. Schutt, played by Gladys Munn. Richard Gibson, baritone, sang 'Night- fall," by J. W. Metcalf; and Elmer Schmidt, bass, sang ''The Still Rain," by R. Farley. Little Billy and Phyllis Ledington made their first public performance on the vio- lin, playing, first separately, then in con- cert, - Marching to School." An interesting variation of the program was the giving of a reading, "Death Disk," by Dorothy Aultfather, a student from the expression department. Ermina Powell, mezzo-soprano, sang "Nymphs and Shepherds," by H. Purcell, and Harold Cedol, baritone, sang "On the Road to Mandalay," by 0. Speaks. The concluding number of the program was a piano solo, "Spinning Song," by B. Godard, played by Esther House. A similar recital will be given in the same room on Sunday afternoon, Novem- ber 25, to which all who are interested in the growth of the music and expression departments are invited. GIVE STUDIO RECITAL Billie and Phyllis Ledington Make Their First Public Appearance There is Danger of Falling Into A Dogmatic, Creed-Ridden Self-Confidence LAW IS POWERLESS We Will Not Be Saved for Keeping the Law, But the Law is Necessary For Our Salvation In a stirring message given Sabbath morning President P. L. Thompson point- ed out the perils that face this church, danger of falling into the dogmatic, creed -ridden Pharisaism that is afraid of new truths; danger of resting confidence in that beggarly kind of righteousness that feels it has done its part when the letter of the law is fulfilled; and danger that in our satisfaction in having and teaching the law, the spirit of true Christianity be lost out by the way. He continued by bringing out the fact that the law of itself will not save a man. "Because the decalogue does not say, 'Thou shalt not get drunk,' does it ne- cessarily follow that it is lawful for a man to get drunk? How did Christ in- terpret the law? If a man hate his broth- er he is a murderer. The law points (Continued on page four) Appreciation THE CLOCK TOWER staff wishes to express appreciation for the co-oper- ation of students, teachers, and friends during the subscription campaign which has just closed. Particularly do they wish to thank the leaders of the groups for the hard work they have put into the campaign and the enthusiasm with which they have done their part. The staff realizes that the success of the paper, in this as well as its other activities, depended and still depends upon ins large reading group, both students and friends, and not upon anything the staff might attempt to do without their support. Weekly Review of World Affairs By HAROLD LINCOLN Crime costs the nation a total amount of sixteen billion dollars a year. There are about 1,000,000 professional criminals in the country, including the crop of prohibition supercriminals. The crushing defeat sustained by the Republicans in the Tuesday state elec- tions has left a number of sore spots in the organiaztion.. The results of the elec- tion indicate that the people were pro- testing against certain individuals known only to themselves. The wet and dry question, political feuds, and national un- employment all had their effect, and the Republicans, being in power, naturally bore the brunt of it. Ninety-two years old, General Wey- ler died in Madrid. One of the most colorful figures in Cuba forty years ago, at death he is practically unknown. When the Spanish-American war was on, with Theodore Roosevelt climbing San Juan hill, everybody knew General Weyler. His severity in waging war on the in- surrectionists and his actions in forcing the rural population into camps have been generally regarded as being causes of the war. His merciless military methods caused him to figure in newspaper ac- counts of that time at "The Butcher." In his native land he was called "the grand old man of the Spanish army." Despite his age he continued to be a power in the military service of his coun- try. In 1926 he was involved in a plot against the government of Primo de Ri- vera, but was acquitted by a military court. His name will be a tradition to Spain. Girls Again Win in Subscription Campaign Though Boys Make Good Showing. 1015 Subscriptions Turned In and More Are Coming In Every Day JOHNSON WINS SCHOLARSHIP Imminent and crushing defeat was turned into victory during the last few days of THE CLOCK TOWER subscription campaign, resulting in a total of 1,015 subscriptions, divided between the men and the co- eds in the proportion of 480 and 535 respectively. The subscriptions obtained in the campaign, added to the group which do not expire this year, bring the mailing list well above 1400. It is expected that many replies will yet be received from campaign letters, swelling the total considerably above the present figure. For the first time since the college has offered a fifty-dollar scholar- ship to the student having the highest number of subscriptions, pro- vided the number was over sixty, the prize has been taken, Clarence Johnson being the winner. Other prizes will be announced as soon as the statistics are complete. As the finals were announced to a breathless audience of waiting competitors on Sunday evening at eight o'clock, a roar of applause ORDERS ARE SECURED Quarters Well Lighted and Immaculate; Enough Work for Large Number of Girls Reported The Union college pecan industry is again in full action, located in the new quarters in the basement of North hall under the management of Mrs. L. T. Leslie. Twenty girls dressed in white uniforms and caps are working while the electric nut cracker is kept running most of the time during the day to keep them supplied with pecans. Over 30,000 pounds of excellent qual- ity pecans are now on hand, and Mr. Leslie, the salesman, has already secured some large orders from baking companies and stores in Lincoln. Upon entering the shop, all visitors are heard to remark about the immaculate appearance of the well lighted room in which the girls work at the long white tables partitioned so that each girl can keep her work separate from that of the one next to her. Hygienic conditions are greatly stressed and before the nuts are touched each worker must wash her hands in an antiseptic solution. Before the nuts go to the cracking machine they are washed by means of a spray and let dry. The girls take the nuts from the cracker and with nimble fingers remove the cracked shells, put- ting the whole meats in one pan and the broken ones in another. With about a week's practice this can be done with considerable speed and skill. The girls are paid according to the number of pounds they shell. Mrs. Leslie says that she can give work to twice the number of girls now em- ployed, and this is a clean, enjoyable way to earn the wherewithal) to meet some of those bills in the business office. 0 Will the Peace Nations Hope for Ever be Realized? By WILLIAM BARCLAY In this time of commemoration of the return of peace in 1918, my mind goes back to the scenes which have impressed themselves vivdly on my mind. The slogan of pipes, the beat of drums, the swish of kilts and sporans, the tramp, tramp of marching men in the early morn- ing; an unusual sight and sound in Glas- gow. so early. Quickly people crowded the sidewalks while others opened their windows, the better to get a view of the marching men. What could it mean? Men asked the question as they continued to watch the soldiers go by. It was not just a route march—not with all that accoutrement! Anyway, soldiers generally did not smile and joke so readily while undertaking a forced route march. It is no fun to get out and march twenty miles in five hours just for training purposes, even to the music of the bagpipes. A wave of excitement passed over the crowd as the explanation of this pheno- menon became known. War had been declared. Britain was keeping the promise to Belgium. That was on the morning of August 4, 1914. Well do I remember standing on the sidewalk watching the soldiers go by. Tall and straight and brave they looked in their bright red tunics, colorful Tartan kilts and bushy busby hats. There was a song in their mouths and a smile on their lips, for were they not going out on another adventure? Were they not the cream of Scotland's manhood going out to fight, once again to prove that Britain was still a mighty nation? Were they not going to uphold Britain's honor and, above all, were they not going to prove that they were still the best fight- ing regiment in the British army? Joking and singing, they marched along toward the depot to embark for Dover and France. This was going to be just a vacation. In two weeks the Germans would be "licked" and they would be (Continued on page four) ARMISTICE PROGRAM IS GIVEN IN CHAPEL Alten Bringle Sings Solo and Professor Thompson Speaks On Glories of Peace "Armistice day is a wonderful occasion, but it would be more wonderful were there no cause for it, - stated President P. L. Thompson in chapel Monday. "War is a terrible thing. Much is said of the glory and the honor to be gained in battle, but that is said by the propa- gandists who think only of one nation's showing its supremacy over another, and not of all the horrors that are involved in it. "After the war President Wilson made the statement, 'All has been accomplished for which America fought.' He was a man of vision, an able leader for such a crisis as the Great War. But war can- not be stopped, as long as men hate. As the atheist representative from Russia said to the supposedly Christian representa- tives from the others nations at the Gen- eva peace conference, 'You don't want peace.' "The world today is preparing for war more than it was in 1913-14. There are men today who receive large sums for trying to break up peace conferences. The world doesn't want peace. "Many people today take no interest in things of the nation. Their minds are so narrowed as to cause them to care more, as has been said, 'when the baby bump his head than when a thousand Armen- ians are massacred.' It is the smallness of the people's thinking and the mob psychology of nations that precipitate war. "Those who show bravery on the bat- tlefield are greatly honored and their praises are sung, but those who have given their whole time and even their lives to the end of promoting peace are scarcely noticed. The peacemakers are the ones who deserve the gratitude of the world." Before President Thompson's address, Alten Bringle sang a song appropriate for the occasion, entitled "Guns," a song descriptive of the horror of war, ending with a prayer for peace. Band Visits Old People Living at Tabitha Home A group of the Sunshine band made their first visit to the Lutheran Tabitha home Sabbath afternoon. This is a home for old people. Velvah Smouse and Er- mina Powell sang, then Mr. Gaitens of- fered a short prayer. He then spoke for a few minutes on the subject of prepara- tion for heaven. Harold Cedol played "Traumerei" on the violin, followed by a reading by Miss Powell. Another duet closed the meeting. One of the attend- ants spoke in behalf of those in charge in appreciation of the work which the band is doing and cordially invited them to re- turn. Eighty-six were killed when an explo- sion and fire wrecked the underground workings of No. 6 mine of the Sunday Creek coal company at Millfield, Ohio, November 5. The United States on Sunday, Novem- ber 6, became the first world power to extend diplomatic recognition to the new Brazilian government headed by Getulio Vargas. Continuance of good relations with Brazil is commercially important to this country. Our trade with Brazil in 1929 was worth approximately $315,000,000. Sinclair Lewis, first American to be a- warded the Nobel prize in literature, plans to use the $46,350 to support the family of a well-known young American author. The author is Sinclair Lewis himself. He explained why he was ac- cepting after refusing the Pulitzer prize for his novel "Arrowsmith" in 1926. "The Nobel prize is an international prize with no strings tied. It is awarded on the basis of excellence of work," he said. The Pulitzer prize, on the other hand, is cramped by the provisions of Mr. Pulitzer's will that the prize shall be given for the American novel published during the year which shall best present the wholesome atmosphere of American life, and the highest standard of Amer- ican manners and manhood. This sug- gests not actual literary merit, but an obedience to whatever code of good form may chance to be popular at the moment. (Continued on page four) 1. )11' THE PRESENT Present time is something that is always with us; it is something from which we cannot escape; it is what yesterday was and what tomorrow will be. '1 are considerations which cause one to think seriously. Groups of happy young people walk about the halls and class rooms of Union college. They are opening doors to their future. What will that future be when it becomes the present? Life is too big for them to wish to remain in the present state, for there is yet much to learn and experience. Implanted within every life is a precious gift called Character. The gardener, '2,xperience, helps bring this gift to bloom, and every flower must decorate some cor- ner of the world. As the gardner works, photographs are made and hung upon the walls of Memory Hall. Living in the present, people can always decide what pictures will be theirs. Youth's walls of memory are white and clean, and, by taking care, no picture r.-.2c1 be hung that will later cause regret. A good rule to remember is that when the camera has snapped the picture is hung. The time to choose what the pictures will be is now. The present meant much to Jesus. Could a panorama of the many inspir. ..ig pictures that were hung in three and a half years on the walls of the Master's memory be spread before the world, there would not be one picture that did not spell service. As Jesus labored, He looked into His neighbor's garden and helped weed out the things that would harm, and He has said, "Follow Me." Those who have learned to live in the present can always find a neighbor who needs help. The tragedy of the present time is that folks know so little of each other. Florence Nightingale was called "the best loved woman in the world." Her life was so big it included the world. To get the most that the present offers one must be a brother to all mankind. The hopes of the future are controlled by the present. H. A. Waite, pressed in his poem a splendid program for present living: "I would be true, for there are those who trust me; I would be pure, for there are those who care; I would be strong, for there is much to suffer; I would be brave, for there is much to dare. I would be giving, and forget the gift; I would be friend of all — the foe — the friendless; I would be humble, for I know my weakness; I would look up — and laugh — and love — and lift." G. M. THE TOLERANT IDEALIST This very modern generation takes a certain self-satisfied delight in com- paring its own open-mindedness with the intolerance of the Middle Ages. • This generation is not, however, more modern than any that has lived. Each was, in its day, "we moderns," and each has, in turn, looked with retrospective com- placence upon the inferiority of its poor, benighted forebears. Outwardly, there is certainly a greater degree of tolerance than existed in certain periods in the past; but tolerance demands a place as important in individual life and personal philosophy as in the policy of a race or nation. It is this projection of the tolerant attitude into personal thinking to which the mind is so easily blinded. This is a real danger, not to the unthinking class, but to those whose ideals are the highest. Perhaps one of the most subtle of the temptations which attack the young idealist is this impatience of imperfection, which grants no toleration to those who fall short of his ideal. It may be concerning a standard of spiritual progress, of cultural accomplishment, or of intellectual attainment and accuracy. He sees that the plane of actual accomplishment is far below the ideal and he allows the dis- crepancy to get under his skin. He is vexed and impatient, even cynical concerning the sincerity of others. Their excellencies seem to him so few and so insignificant that he is in- clined to despise them, failing to remember that he himself has not yet attaii.,:d. The attitude is by no means pleasant, especially to himself, for imperfection ir- ritates him, he becomes downright bored. This intolerance of the fragmentary excellencies of people is a wholesome thing if directed inward, but is destructive in both directions if allowed free action outward. To avoid this intolerant philosophy need not in any sense mean lettino down meals, either for oneself or for others. On the contrary, it is the only way to as- sure their maintenance; for he who is constantly fretted by the pitifully meager approaches made toward his high aims is in danger of modifying the ideal to meet the situation. The idealist, if he would be a positive impelling force, not the idle visionary who has so nearly ruined the meaning of the word "idealist," may be as intolerant of himself as he may desire, but will not permit a vexed impatience of imperfection in others to make him miserable by destroying his faith in people and in his own ideals.

CAUSE IS WORTH WHILE The campaign is over and. despite the straitened economic status, over in a manner that does credit to Union's students and teachers. The thing THE CLOCK TOWER needs now is a continuation of the same brand of loyalty that has kept this campaign from being a flop. There are still readers whose subscriptions are expiring soon and who want THE CLOCK TOWER for the coming year. And there are still those who have never been subscribers and who would be if someone would write for their subscriptions. It is an end worth striving toward to build up the mailing list continually until by the first of January it will have reached the two thousand mark. Many have really sacrificed in helping to make this campaign a success. They have shown, genuine loyalty and true school spirit. But their efforts and money have been spent in a worthwhile enterprise; not merely because the paper as such is worth promoting, but because by promoting Union's paper they are promoting Union. THE CLOCK TOWER is the only representative Union has which goes everywhere and goes there regularly, week in and week out. Therefore it consti- tutes a vital and essential part of the life of the school; and it is felt that the earnest and, in some cases, sacrificing, efforts made by both students and teachers are more than worthwhile and will be of lasting benefit to the school, and thereby to the many young people who will come under the school's influence. North Hall Girls Are At Work on Annual Program The young women of North hall are al- ready working hard on their annual pro- gram to be given in the college chapel Saturday evening, November 22. Re- ports of interesting plans show that the girls are putting forth unusual efforts to make this program the best they have ever given. The principal feature of he evening will be a pagaent, "Mothers of Men," which will trace the story of great motherhood from the earliest times to the present. Those taking part will ap- pear in colorful and appropriate costum- ing. The program will also include musical numbers and readings, and will be con- cluded by a pantomime, "The Star- Spangled Banner." A small admission will be charged, the tickets now being on sale for 25 cents, reserved seat tickets 35 cents. The pro- ceeds of this program will be used for the purchase of an electric radio for North nali parlors. 1 ,1"PeWiele•W oWd4,,w,,ai,..damew [ 111111.%?.....1%. . , %....11o...x . a. l....1 ..........e.a..W..

They are teach- ing in the Carribean Training college.), October 20, 1930 St. Joseph, Trinidad, British West Indies. To THE CLOCK TOWER: The last few weeks have seen us trav- eling about much, and I may as well be- gin at the beginning. On July 28 we left Wichita for Los Angeles, goir by way of Denver, Salt Lake City, and San Francisco. Time does not permit me to say anything about our travels in the United States, and anyhow, you all know about it. August 15 we were back in Wichita. Then we packed and went to campmeeting between times until Sep- tember. At eleven o'clock in the morning of September 10 we left New York and ex- perienced the usual feeling that comes over every missionary when the good old United States drops out of sight. Our first stop was at Bermuda, only two days from New York. Here we changed from the "S. S. Veendam" to "S. S. Matura", on which we completed our voyage. The trip was wonderful. Neither of us was seasick or even missed a meal. Some- times about sundown the ocean was as smooth as a lake in the woods. I never thought that the ocean got that way, but it does. September 18 we landed at Port of Spain, a town of some 70,000, where we were met by all the conference workers, both union and local, for both have their headquarters there. It is a big day when a new worker comes to help with the work in these islands. As soon as we got our goods through duty we loaded into a Chevrolet, which had its steering wheel on the right hand side and ran on the left side of the road, and headed for the Caribbean Training college, fourteen miles away. I think the fourteen miles between here and Port of Spain is as pretty as any place I have seen. Everything was green with the heavy tropical vegetation, cocoanut and banana trees everywhere. Ferns and flowers grow wild better than they do in a green house there. Most of the roads are paved, for this island is the home of the big pitch lake. Well, when we reached the school, there was a real reception waiting for us. All the students were lined up along both sides of the road from the entrance to the girls' dormitory. It was pouring rain, but that made no difference;• they stood there just the same. We got out and went to the chapel, where the stu dents all gathered and sang their school song for us. And say, these seventy toices could just put the whole of Union's group (including the girls) off the map when it comes to singing. They need training, of course, but they are so en- ergetic. So many have written asking if it is hot here. Not as hot as Kansas this summer! From about one to five it get hot, about eighty or ninety degrees, never any higher. Then it cools off, and the nights are very cool and pleasant. The air is very humid; so one feels either hot or cold very much more than in the States When it comes to food, some things are high while others are cheap. Bananas are very cheap, usually thirty to fifty cents a bunch, or three or four big ones for a cent—not a 'penny, for a penny in British money is two cents. One of the native boys came down from the estate the other day with a small boa constric- tor. It was about fourteen feet long and a little bigger than my arm. There are a few scorpions around, too. The worst thing we have to contend with is ants. They get into everything. There are so many kinds. Some bother sugar, and some butter, some wood, and so on. There were cockroaches about the size of one's thumb. They like the cov- ers on books as well as a boy likes candy, and thus it goes. We enjoy it here very much, only get hungry for letters from the States, so let me take this opportunity of inviting you all to drop us a line when you can find time, and somewhere somehow we will find time to answer it. The students are all colored, and a good many of them Indians. The school has a fair-sized print shop which is. doing good business. I have charge of the saw- mill, which is a fairly good-sized affair, having one saw five feet in diameter fOr the carriage saw, two table saws, and a plane which is capable of making tongue and groove flooring. I also take care of the carpentry work. There are several buildings to be put up yet. The boys' dormitory is under construction now. It will house about seventy boys when fin- ished. We have supervised study periods and it was my turn to take it tonight; so all this has been written while I have kept an eye on the students.

Very sincerely, Merrill Smith STRESSES COURTESY __— Personality, Not Knowledge, Makes Success or Failure "A knowledge of good form is not true courtesy, nor an inevitable mark of a gentleman," said President Thompson in chapel Friday morning. He suggested that although college men and women should be acquainted with the essentials of proper form, such knowledge is not always an indication of refinement. "The attitude of people toward the unfortunate and handicapped will distinguish the true lady and gentleman, as will also their restraint of showing intimate affections in public." He showed how the by-products of education can be as important as the direct results. "Good grades and col- lege degrees should not be the ultimate objective, while decency, culture, court- esy, kindness, consideration, and amiabil- ity are neglected." The president maintained that eighty- five per cent of one's chances for success lie in personality. He emphasized the importance of taking a self-inventory for the purpose of selling ourselves to the world. We should "study to be qu. and self-possessed," he admonished, "ris- ing above the level of brutality, and do- ing what is required quietly, effectively, and efficiently; for what people think will either make us or break us. Capable pet pie are often hurt, disappointed, and dis- illusioned, finding themselveS unable to hold a position or sustain friends be cause of their personality. We shout, let the goodness of our hearts flow out in words and actions, as did Jesus Christ, an outstanding example of gentility." SENS PROPRE BY JULIETTE Many inquiries have come to me as to the proper way of doing this or that in our school dining room. Because our school dining room is very different from those of our homes, there are a few rules that belong only to a school din- Phone 48-W—Res. 15-W. X-Ray X-Ray Diagnosis—Open Sunday FRANK T.

I will discuss some of these latter rules here. It hardly need be mentioned that the boys should collect the trays and go af- ter the water. But in collecting the trays, they should remember always to go around the table to get the trays. Never reach across the tables for them. When passing the water glasses pass them holding as near to the base of the glass as possible. Would you like to drink from a glass that had several fing- er marks near the top? If not, then never put your finger marks on some one else's glass. Open your napkin in your lap. Don't wave it through the air like a flag of truce. Be agreeable. Help the hostess in find- ing a chance to eat instead of doing all the talking. You will be doing your one kind deed for the day and also aiding your own digestion, for one of the rules of health is, "Be cheerful while you eat." Much more could be said along this line, but a hint to the wise is sufficient. 0 Class Work Interesting In Various Departments HISTORY Professor Dick says he has difficulty in finding chairs enough to seat all of his American history class, as new stu- dents are coming in continually. At pres- ent there are fifty-two in the class. Two new courses are being offered this year. One is social science seminar, offered this semester. It is a course in present day .problems in the field of soci- ology and history. The second is world politics and missions, in which the ex- ploitation of backward people of Africa, Asia, and the East by civilized nations will be studied, and the native attitude toward the missionary. It is planned to organize a "historical society" in the near future. Further no- tice of this will be given.

The program was given in the form of a symposium on the subject, - The Prodi- gal Son." Pearl Hartwell, the first speak- er, gave the background of the story— the home life of the son, his desire to leave home and become somebody in the world, and the incidents leading up to his leaving. Leola Castle continued the story, telling of the events that led him downward, until his money was all spent, his "friends" had deserted him, and he, a Jew, was forced to feed swine, But "he came to himself" and returned home, as pictured by Jeanette Franks. She made it clear that one need only to turn from his ways, go home to his heavenly Father and ask forgiveness, and like the prodigal son of the Bible story, be gladly received. Special music was given by Ermina Powell in a solo, "The Prodigal Son." Bibles, as well as other literature, were given to a number of the boys who had asked for them. Said a minister, giving church an- nouncements, "There will be community singing in this church at the close of next Sunday evening's service. On the fol- lowing three Sundays the church will be closed for repairs."

Instead of using petals and leaves and such things that have already been designed the girls are making all these things from a wax material them- selves and coloring them, making some very pretty plaques indeed.

MORSE Jeweler - - - Stationer Opposite South Hall FO-48J THE CLOCK TOWER PAGE THREE May See Beauty In Our Daily Life And Environment By DONALD HARTWELL Two men were strolling down the road one afternoon. In the course of their walk they noticed a pool of water by the roadside. One of the men remarked a- bout the clearness of the pool and how sparklingly transparent the water was. The other said, - Oh, you just think it is clear. Watch me." He then stirred the water with his cane until the clear pool had become a mudpuddle. The two men went on their way; the mud settled to the bottom of the pool, and the water was once more clear and sparkling. The way these men related themselves to their surroundings is characteristic of the way they relate themselves to the more important events of their lives. It is characteristic of the way we all relate ourselves to our surroundings. One day as I was leaving the dormi- tory I overheard someone loudly com- plaining because he was required to work that afternoon. In the steps I met a boy who was entering the dormitory. He was complaining because he could not find work to do. Since complaining is rather uncommon among my acquaintances, this encounter with it made me think a few moments. If each of these boys could have heard the remarks of the other, the first one would probably have gone cheerfully to work, thankful that he had a job, knowing that others as capable as he did not. The other boy might have made his way to the library, glad that he had time to study while others were obliged to work. I heard a girl say that she never went to breakfast, because, she claimed, "they always serve the same things, and I get so tired of them." The next morning at breakfast one of the girls at whose table I was eating said, "I surely am glad I came to breakfast this morning. It seems as though they always serve the very things I like best." At the first of the school term it was proposed that a certain class be divided, forming a second section made up of those who had had better preparation for the subject than the rest of the class. One student complained, "If they do that, we'll have to study about twice as hard as we do now." "Yes," another replied, "but we'll learn twice as much too." So it is with every experience in life. A certain number of people are inclined to feel that the pains of life overbalance its happiness, while others are able to see the beauty and good even in puddles in their path. The happiness of life con- sists of appreciation of the best in each experience without exaggeration of the things that are not so pleasant. The men were both right about the pool. The water was clear and spark- ling, and also mud was present. The first man enjoyed the beauty of the pool although he knew about the mud. While the fact that one man enjoyed the beauty of the pool did not make the water any purer, the action of the other man cer- tainly had no better effect. The pool is the next experience you will meet. Which man are you? TRAINING SCHOOL (Editor's Note: These reports are pre- pared weekly by the children in the depart- ments represented.) PRIMARY ROOM At the end of the ;first six weeks the primary room elected officers for the Junior Missionary Volunteer society to serve for the next period. The officers are Esther Robertson, leader; and Vir- ginia Jeys, secretary. The children of the primary room en- joyed vacation last Thursday and Fri- day during the teachers' convention. Marion Schmidt's little cousin, Carman Jean, visited the primary room last week and recited the ten commandments and a poem called, "I Didn't Think." She also sang a solo. The children received their report cards last week. There is nothing like an obedient to- day to reveal God's will tomorrow. Don't simply see how you can put in the day; see how much you can put into the day. The clothes of our souls are habits woven by one action after another.—Lan- castrian. HORNUNG'S HARDWARE ACROSS FROM CAMPUS Phone 13 W THE COMBAT By MARY KELSEY There arose one time a combat strong Between two flocks of birds; The weapons were not sabers long— 'Twas largely a war of words. The big crows challenged loud, "Caw, Caw." The doves replied, "Coo, Coo." And wise judge owl from what he saw Could only guess, "Who? Who?" The lusty crows proclaimed their power To win the present war, While winsome doves in line would sing Their strength was up to par. So long and strong the battle raged With skirmishes not a few The flocks with vim each had presaged Of what they meant to do. The judge announced one dreary day, It was his mind at least, The side which finally held sway Forego the usual feast. The wise judge owl a seat had found Upon the middle fence, So he could quickly turn him round Or safely get him hence. And when upon the fateful night The victors were revealed, 'Twas found the doves had won the fight— The brave crows left the field. And now the flocks have passed the day For quite another year; The battle din has cleared away, And left the campus clear. Satan's Best Tool Is Discouragement BY JACK SPOHN One day while glancing through the advertising pages of the Paper of Life I noticed a very peculiar advertisement which attracted my attention instantly. It read, "I am going out of business very soon and will sell all my tools now at a great loss, with the understanding that the purchaser will not take tools until I retire or until my business is completely sold out. If interested call at my office." Being curious, I decided to go down and see what this man had to offer. When I came through the door, I saw a large crowd gathered around someone. To my surprise and amazement it was Satan. All around the room were cer- tain tools on display. Satan was leading the people around and pointing out and explaining what the different tools were and what they were used for. They were certainly a bad looking lot: malice, envy, jealousy, sensuality, self-deceit, and other implements, each marked with its price. One young man noticed an old worn tool lying in the midst of a soft piece of satin. It was a harmless looking wedge- shaped tool but he noticed that it was priced far above the rest. Becoming curious, he asked,"Why do you keep this old tool apart from the others in such a rich setting? It does not look as new or as useful as many of the other tools here." As the owner's eyes followed the direc- tion which the young man pointed, they lighted up with an unmistakable joy as they rested on the old tool. Go- ing over and picking it up, he ran his hand over it in an affectionate way as he said, "This is the most useful tool I have in my collection, for with it I can pry open and get into the lives of people where I could not do so with other tools. And once inside, I can use them in any way I find convenient. It is much worn because I have used it so much. Very few know what it is and that it belongs to me. The name, did you say? I call it Discouragement." And with a leer of satisfaction he laid it down. The only happiness a brave man ever troubled himself with asking about, was happiness enough to get his work done. —Carlyle. For Christmas— Your PHOTOGRAPH! The Gift That Only You Can Give.

S KENNETH PARKER Engravers for Golden Cords and Clock Tower iii Lincoln Engraving Company Get a Practical Training In Real Ministerial Work By CARIS LAUDA If you were to have followed the Hom- iletics students in their field work among the neighboring churches Sabbath, you would have traveled nearly five hundred miles, for these students not only carry on their classroom work, but also assist in churches within the radius of one hun- dred fifty miles. In our classroom work, we study the fundamental methods, and essentials in making and in delivering a sermon, study- ing the methods and sermons of great speakers, as G. Campbell Morgan, C. H. Spurgeon, D. L. Moody, and a host of others. While books are used chiefly in our research work, "Christ Jesus, and Him crucified" is made the theme of each one of the sermons prepared by the class. After being instructed in the types of sermons, the ways and means of delivery, we then go out in the field of active prac- tice. Lowell 'Welch gave the Cortland church his impressions of the Fall Coun- cil held in Omaha, showing his listeners the enormity of the burden of this mes- sage that is weighing on the shoulders of our leaders. He was assisted by Gideon Kruger and Roy Gardner. Henry Preston conducted the service at Blair, giving the hour over to Jacque Spohn, who spoke on the parable of the two sons—one who was willing to go work in the field and later failed; and the other who first refused but later repented and went whole-hearted into service. At the close of the service Clarence Brinley related a few important items concerning the Harvest Ingathering plans. At Fremont Ralph Cash gave a mes- sage, assisted by Delbert Marquert. In the Seward church Pastor Soren- son delivered the message of the hour, Clinton von Pohle and Alten Bringle as- sisting. Nebraska City had a special treat when Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Dunn and Eunice Dunn gave special violin and vocal se lections in the service conducted by Walt- er Howe and William Barclay. Rheinhold Bietz, with his two brothers Arthur and Albert, and Mr. Walker, composing a male quartette, gave special music at Beatrice, Rheinhold Bietz giv- ing the sermon. The service at Fairbury was conducted by the writer, the subject being, "Cast not away therefore your confidence." Mrs. Lauda, Elmer Schmidt, and Carroll Culver assisted. The services are conducted by these students in the respective churches the second and fourth Sabbaths of each month. 0 "Music is ever present in our lives from the cradle to the grave.

Is it asking too much to expect that the we use our own minds and form our own opinions? Education has been defined as "an education for life by participation in life." If this is so, the habits of thinking formed while in school are important ones. It is a commonly accepted fact that the habits formed during youth are to a great degree permanent. But what if questions arise which the student is unable to answer for himself? The natural ten- dency is to ask someone who is in a po- sition to know, and to accept that answer without further thinking. The one who only accepts and repeats the answers taught him by another may sometime have an experience similar to that of the German soldier who had been care- fully coached how to answer three ques - tions, but who made absurd answers be- cause those questions were given him in an unfamiliar order. True learning includes the power of discrimination, of viewing the various sides of a problem, studying it, consulting authority when necessary to form a de- cision, but still being ready to modify that decision if future conditions should make it advisable. Questions beginning "Why do you consider " are some- times most disconcerting to students, while they welcome those which can be answered with a bare statement of facts. It is much easier to memorize a list of dates than it is to sit down and reason out a difficult problem in any field; how- ever, the benefit derived from thinking by far outweighs that from mere memoriz- ation.

The time is January, 1919, and the same streets are again lined with people. The people are strangely silent, however, and many heads are bare. A regiment of soldiers, the same regiment which marched gaily away four years and a half ago, is returning from that little "two-weeks vacation," The pipes are playing again, but the music, instead of a gay march, is a lament. How different the soldiers look! Gone is the gay pre-war uniform and in its place is a drab mud-stained khaki uniform. No smile or song now. The men are different; the faces are dif- ferent. The men are old and their steps drag. Their faces are white and drawn and their eyes look straight ahead. They walk like men who are in a trance— mechanically. They look like men who have been down to the depths of Hades and have seen things too awful to talk about. Over four years have passed: four years in which war and all that goes with it have ruled the world; four years in which regimental rivalry has been forgotten as the soldiers fought side by side, no longer fighting to uphold the honor of Britain, but desperately fighting for life itself, for the preservation of the race. All that is left of the regiment is its name. Long ago the young manhood of Britain has been wiped out as the rec ments hurled themselves against the en- emy guns and bayonets in an effort to stem the tide of death that was sweeping over Europe. Time and again reinforce- ments have come in to replace the men who have fallen in the numerous battles, until there are very few of the old soldiers left. The replacements are older men, family men, most of them, who have left their homes and all that is dear to them to take up the cause that their sons and younger brothers had died for. They, too, have been in the jaws of death, but by some miraculous providence they have been spared from death. Now they are returning home. It is small wonder their steps drag wearily? Is it small wonder their faces are drawn and white and their eyes are fixed and stare straight ahead? Have they not been "over there" and come back? Yet how many of them would not gladly have traded death they have just escaped for the future life they know they have to live with the horror of the past four and a half years constantly in their minds. Death is sometimes more merciful than life. Tramp, tramp, tramp—they march si- lently on. Gradually the slow lament of the pipes fades in the distance; a bend in the street hides the sadly depleted regi- ments from view and the crowds which line the sidewalk slowly disperse, thank- ful that the war is over at last and hoping that never again would the history of the past four and a half years be re- peated. Will their hopes be realized? 0 1 ' P ► 4 4 4 REVIEW OF WORLD AFFAIRS (Continued from page one) The Republican party retained a bare majority of one in the house in Tuesday's elections, on the basis of complete but unofficial returns. The chief naval powers on the prepar- atory disarmament commission disagreed on the method of limiting naval personel at the limitations conference at Geneva. Johns Hopkins medical school renders great public service in the study of the "common cold." It is found to be due to a germ or "virus" so small that the microscope cannot detect it, and no filt- er will stop its passage. It has been im- possible thus far to develop immunity in human beings. Such a serum would be next in value to smallpox vaccination. The common cold, usually neglected, lays the foundation for diseases that cause death. Dr. Getulio Vargas, on his first day as provisional president of the republic of Brazil, mapped out a program which affords considerable satisfaction to the people of his country, as well as to the world at large. One of the most impor- tant provisions announced by the new president is complete amnesty for all po- litical offenders, which must include those who assisted in maintaining the govern- ment which Vargas was mainly instru- mental in overthrowing. One of the greatest processions of soviet history marched past communist and government leaders in Red square in Moscow in a parade celebrating the thir- teenth anniversary of October day, the date on which the proletariat uprising had its beginning. Millions turned out for the celebration with the greatest en- thusiam. They had another cause for happiness, for the government, in honor of the day, increased rations allowances to those holding approved bread cars. Among the notable features of the day's celebration was the public opening of the new tomb of Nicolai Lenin, father of Russian communism, constructed of 10, 000 tons of native granite in Red square. It took sixteen months to build the edifice, which is one of the most magnificent structures in the capital. The secret of success is trying just once more. There is no beautifier of complexion, or form, or behaviour like the wish to scatter joy and not pain around us.— Emerson. "Heaven is not reached by a single bound, But we climb the ladder round by round. - We rise by things that are under our feet, By the pride deposed and the passion slain And vanquished ills that we hourly meet." Program for the Seminar Is Given by the Girls "Take an inventory of your store house. Clean it out and then put up a sign, 'No dumping here,' were Eva Wilkinson's closing words in seminar Friday evening. Her talk emphasized the importance of right thoughts, of true, honest, pure, lovely, and virtuous things for the mind's storehouse. The text of Bessie McCumsey's talk was "Cast the net on the right side." She pointed out that every individual has the privilege of choosing which side he will represent and that his choice deter- mines his destiny. Word from Ellis Storing, last year's leader, was presented to the seminar by Pearl Hartwell. In his letter he described wonderful experiences which he and his wife are having with. the people in Texas, where he is in ministerial work.. He mentioned how much he appreciated the experiences he had gained in the sem- inar. Pastor H. U. Stevens mentioned the fear and trembling with which all young workers approach their tasks, but added, "You will never be inexperienced but once." He went on to point out Jere- miah's experience of fear and his victory. Miss Fonda Campbell sang "No longer Lonely," as the special musical feature of the program. The seminar now con- sists of exactly one hundred members. 0 PERILS FACING CHURCH (Continued from page one) out our one first duty to love God. su- premely and our neighbors as ourselves. If, then, our lives are permeated by the fundamental principle of love, we shall be free of the law and at the same time ful- fill the 'royal law of liberty' spoken of by James." True, this church has had a remarkable growth, brought out the speaker, and too often cites its wonderful works in com- parison with other churches. Yet there is a danger of placing a trust in statistics, figures, and organization. But these means will never save us. A part of the message to the Laodicean church was, 'I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot; I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.' Our confidence must not be placed upon mere works but upon love that makes living the Christian life a life of liberty. This people can suffer the experience of the Israelites. "Each individual must search and study the truth for himself. He cannot rely upon the opinion and authority of an- other. Each one needs that spirit of brotherly love that will make him a pow- erful agency for good. This earnest love of his brother and the spirit of study and prayer will make him a free man in Christ Jesus." 0 I do not know of any way so sure of making others happy as of being so oneself.—Sir Arthur Helps. MISS JENSEN SPEAKS (Continued from page one) main. This condition is largely due to a lack of health habits. "In the last four years five hundred and fifty-seven young men and women have been selected to go to mission fields. They were thought to he physically fit to go, but thirty-seven were rejected. Fifty per cent of the causes for rejection fell in these four groups: weak hearts, nervous instability, secondary anemia, and low vitality." Miss Jensen appealed to the students to get knowledge, along with their educa- tion, that would enable them to manage their lives in such a way that they might serve. She said, quoting from another, -The only knowledge of any value is the knowledge a man uses; the rest hangs like dust around the cells of his brain." TABLE CONVERSATION (Continued from page one) probably be one of these "rah! rah!" boys who refuses to talk unless it is about athletics. If the host or hostess had known this ahead of time they might have had a steady flow of conversation, but, as it is, they have not pressed the right button to get him started. The host, trying just as hard to keep up the con- versation, wonders if they'll have a quiz in physiology today. So the conversa- tion goes on through the dinner. Some people, who are noted for being very talkative when in the proper sur- roundings, close up like a clam when they come to the table. It might even be considered an honor to be a host or hostess if all at the table, instead of staring blankly at each other, would actu- ally take some interest in making the con- versation pleasant. Sabbath School Keeps Up To Its Goal in Offerings Clyde Bushnell, in giving the mission talk in Sabbath school, told of the In- dians of the Lake Titicaca region of South America. He said Indians want only the truth and when they cannot have the whole gospel they do not want any. Their calls come, but many times they cannot be answered. The five glowing torches scattered over the map of South America told a story. The school has reached its goal every Sabbath in offerings and the upper lights are still burning. This means the girls are ahead in attendance and daily lesson study. For the benefit of those who stayed at home, interesting reports were given of the Fall Council Sabbath school held in Omaha last week . "The sweetest rest is at even After a wearisome day, When the heavy burden of labor Has dimmed our hearts away; And those that never knew sorrow Cannot know the infinite peace That falls on the troubled spirit When it sees at last release." —The Campus Chronical.
