DIALOGUE IS GIVEN David Livingstone Is Portrayed in Scene by Academy Students A short three-act mission scene pic- turing David Livingstone, presented by students of the Union College academy, was the feature of the Sab- bath-school program of December 3. Wesley Blumenschein read a scripture and led in prayer. Ruth Gardner, su- perintendent of the Sabbath school, was in charge of the program. David Livingstone with his natives put up their tent in the African jun- gle in the first scene. The Africans urged him to return because supplies were low and they were weary and discouraged. Livingstone promised to think it over and sat in meditative mood. Behind scenes a quartet sang "Go, Labor On." He resolved to stay and finish his work in spite of diffi- culties. At this time Stanley and his relief party sent by an American newspaper arrived with the purpose of bringing the missionary back to civil- ization. The scene ended with the mu- sic of "Home Sweet Home." In the second scene Livingstone told Stanley of his resolve and that he must remain. Stanley praised the mis- sionary in his farewell and departed. Livingstone watched him go and then (Continued on page three) CALENDAR OF EVENTS Friday, December 9 Sunset 4:59 p. m. W. H.

Pastor Gilbert Speaker at Services of Seminar BY DAVE BIEBER Members of the seminar and others who attended felt especially privileged to have Pastor F. C. Gilbert, a field secretary of the General conference, speak in the seminar meeting Friday evening. Pastor Gilbert expressed his appre- ciation for the institution of the sem- inar in Adventist colleges because it is a direct source in the preparation of young men and women for gospel work. "We need not advertise our relig- ion, for our religion advertises us," was a statement presented by the speaker. Daily God's people are being watched and judged as to whether (Continued on page three) PASTOR GILBERT IS CHAPEL SPEAKER Shows How Scriptures Are Be- ing Verified by Discoveries in Unearthed Rock Much historical data corresponding exactly with records in the Bible is being revealed today by . stones, ac- cording to Pastor F. C. Gilbert, a field secretary of the General confer- ence of Seventh-day Adventists, who spoke in chapel Friday. In his talk he quoted and verified the words found in Mark 19:40 (A. R. V.) : "I tell you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out. - Pastor Gilbert told how that when Napoleon invaded Egypt in 1798 one of his generals stubbed his toe on an object protruding from the ground. The excavation made to determine what it was resulted in the discovery of the Rosetta stone, which he de- scribed as being black, three feet long, and two and one half feet wide, hav- ing written on it a decree in three languages. The first, he said, was writ- ten in hieroglyphics, the second in script akin to present writing, and the third in Greek. The speaker said that, incidentally, comparing the last ver- sion with the first, it was possible to obtain a key for reading the hiero- glyphics of many other inscriptions. Recently, Pastor Gilbert said, he visited the uncovered ruins of old Jer- icho, revealing first the outline of the walls battered down by the Lord when Israel entered Canaan, and then the wall built five hundred years later by Hid. He believed these ruins to be further fulfilment of the saying that the stones shall witness the sureness of God's prophecy. Pastor Gilbert then told of visiting Megiddo, where the hitching posts of King Solomon were being uncovered and identified by Bible records. He held up a bottle of water which he had taken from the well of Sychar, known as Jacob's well, now four thousand years old. The speaker said that he believed God made man last in the order of creation so that he might realize that God it not dependent upon his help or restricted by human limitations. Students Write Choices of Ten Chapel Programs President Andreasen asked two somewhat unique questions in chapel Wednesday. Slips were passed on which every one was asked to write his division of ten chapel exercises if he were planning them from the fol- lowing: religious, scientific, current topics, inspirational, and music. Also each gave the title of three favorite hymns found in Christ in Song to be used for opening exercises. These questions were asked, he said, to obtain some idea of the opinion of the college to aid in planning the chapel program. PLAN RECREATION ROOM Plans are being made to convert the dark section adjoining the worship room into a recreation room. Miss Rees reported that the walls and ceil- ing are to be painted a light shade, bright cretonne curtains and cushions made, the old parlor lights hung, and furniture brought down, thus adding another cheery place in the girls' home. BIBLE TRUTHS ARE FULFILLED A Secure Anchor in the Truth Is Essential at This Time in Special Way UPLOOK IS BRIGHT Speaker Stresses Need of Deeper Study in the Prophecies That Daniel Revealed BY IRENE PEDERSEN The need of being securely anchored upon the fundamental truths con- tained in the word of God was stressed by Pastor F. C. Gilbert, a field secretary of the General confer- ence, at church Sabbath morning. According to Titus 2:12, 13, he gave the two-fold object of life as being first to live soberly, righteously, and godly, and second to look for that "blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our Lord and Saviour." Since this old world is so terribly wrecked today, he observed, it is not surprising that such large numbers of people are taking their own lives; the Christian, however, has a hope that becomes more precious day by day. Do not look down or around at the conditions in the world, but rather look up, he admonished, after reading Luke 21: 28. According to Hebrews 6:18, the Christian has an anchor which is both sure and steadfast; it is this which will give him certainty and peace, the speaker continued. "Mrs. White, knowing that Chris- tians were in need of an anchor, said that it was for this purpose certain messages were given her. When one lets go of his anchor, everything he has, and himself as well, goes with it. To get men to let go is Satan's de- sire. His work is still that of devising new delusions which will cause men to turn from God, - Pastor Gilbert ex- plained. "That people do not know their own hearts was illustrated in the life (Continued on page four) BIBLE HISTORY IS PROVED CORRECT Archeology Attests to Its Truth, Pastor Gilbert Affirms BY MYRTLE SWISHER Archeology in spite of itself is prov- ing the historicity of the Bible, de- clared Pastor F. C. Gilbert Monday morning in chapel. "We are living in an age where God's name is being set aside, or de- valuated," Pastor Gilbert declared. "However, the Lord knows that His name cannot be submerged forever, that He will sometime be vindicated." Pastor Gilbert then told briefly of his experiences with archeology in Egypt and Palestine, where many un- usual things have been unearthed in the past few decades and placed in va- rious museums, such as those of Cairo, Alexandria and, greatest of all, the British museum of London. While vis- iting the Britsh museum the speaker noticed that the monuments of the kings and queens of ancient Egypt had their bases covered with fresh paint. Upon inquiring of the official in charge, he found that the dates of these monuments, such as 10,000 B. C. and 50,000 B. C., were found to be in- accurate when correct dates were found in later excavations and that the dates were painted over. Archeologists can trace as far back as the 18th dy- nasty, which was approximately 1580 B. C., but back of that is only uncer- tainty, he affirmed. The exodus from Egypt occurred in 1491 B. C. when Moses was eighty years of age; this would give Moses' birth date as 1571 B. C., or approximately 1580 B. C., the speaker pointed out. Back of this dynasty archeologists can trace nothing with certainty, and the covering of these monuments with paint is a public confession that arch- eology is wrong and an indirect testi- mony that the Bible is right, the speaker affirmed. He closed with the statement, "We who believe in the Bible do know that God is magnifying His word as David said in Psalms 138: 'Thou host magnified thy word above all thy name.' 4 U r.',OLLE7,E LIBRARY EX TOWER Week of Prayer Comes December 10-17 COLLEGE VIEW STATION, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, DECEMBER 8, 1932 No. 11 Hear Davis Edwards Saturday Night December 10 UNION COLLEGE LII3RARY tr•It".OLN NE.EIRASKAk LOCK VII Union's Week of Prayer By President M. L. Andreasen The atmosphere of a Christian school is of vital importance. The teachers may be competent and have the requisite degrees, the buildings and equipment may be adequate, the cur- riculum may be systematic and effec- tive, but without a pervading Chrstian spirit the school ceases to be that which its founders intended and God desires. Even as the Sabbath is given as holy time to call our attention to God and the things of the spirit, so it is well that some time during the year special seasons be set aside for com- munion. For many years it has been the custom for each school to have a week of prayer in the spring and one in the autumn. This school week of prayer does not necessarily coincide with the denominational week of prayer, but it so happens this year that the two come at the same time. We have the promise of Pastor W. H. Branson, vice-president of the Gen- eral conference, to be with us during this week, and we feel that God will richly bless his ministrations. A week of prayer does not neces- sarily mean that we are to spend an entire week on our knees, but it does mean that we are to give special study and attention to spiritual things. Prayer is good; so is study and medi- tation; and while it is impossible to evaluate the respective merits of these three, it is well with our study of the word of God and prayer not to leave out meditation. In fact, I should call meditation the better part of prayer. As a school we can do much to pre- pare the way for a special outpouring of the spirit of God. If all will ac- cept the week of prayer as an oppor- tunity for giving more definite atten- tion to the things of God, if we will prepare our hearts by a study of the Word and by prayer, both privately and in groups, and not the least by meditation, we believe that God will give us during the week of prayer that which we should have in our soul's desire. We invite all students and fa- culty to make the most of this spe- cial week of consecration. GYM CLASSES DRILL Girls Study Life-Saving During Sea- son Pool Closed BY ALMA SPARROW Although the swimming season is over at Union the girls have not lost their enthusiasm and ambition to be competent swimmers and life-savers. They are looking forward and pre- paring for the opening of the swim- ming pool in the spring by taking part in the "land drills" given in the gym- nasium every Thursday afternoon. This instruction is to teach the methods by which those in peril of drowning may be rescued with least possible risk to the rescuer. Water safety and resuscitation are also part of the life-saving program. Artificial respiration merits serious study and practice, as it is the most effective means of saving life if applied in time. There will be included in this course instruction in water front protection which will make these girls more val- uable missionary volunteer leaders. Al- though it is necessary to have water in which to swim, much of the tech- nique of life-saving may be learned on land. The advanced class will be ready for the opening of the pool in the spring. This fall when the swimming class- (Continued on page three) Tradition Is Menaced; Floor to Remain Open Frantic offers from "dignity row" for maintaining senior tradition in North hall and for retaining the quiet of the upper region were accepted by the administration, it was learned Monday evening. According to reports, the five girls on the floor agreed to do the cleaning and scrubbing, to use the minimum number of watts for studying Old En- glish, and to economize faithfully on steam heat because the peace of the sparsely-populated area had been se- riously menaced when the powers that be inferred that fourth floor should be closed for the winter to save expenses. North corridor on third floor, it is said, will be vacated inasmuch as ex- penses for heating and lighting will be a bigger problem on the north side of the building. Work and pray for Union. Kappa Theta Features "All-American" Program An "All-American" program was featured in Kappa Theta Wednesday evening. "An American Daughter," a story of Revolutionary War day s and how a girl served her country in time of need, was read by Ruth Wiest. Mildred White, dressed in the Sioux costume, gave a brief sketch of the founding and growth of the govern- ment school at Genoa, Nebraska, for the Indians. The school, Miss White said, was established In order to give the Indians an opportunity to compete with the white man, since they were required to become a civilized people. The musical features of the program were a violin solo, "By the Waters of Minnetonka," played by Irene Schmidt, and a vocal solo, "Pale Moon," sung by Fonda Campbell. The critic's report was given by Jeanette McKibben.

C. Gil- bert, General conference field secre- tary who recently returned from a missionary trip to the Holy Land and near East area. Facts of outstanding interest from Pastor Gilbert's lecture were: From Cairo to Jerusalem there is a modern highway and also a railroad on which the journey can he made in fifteen hours. Jerusalem, which has about 95,000 people, is divided into two sections, the old city and the new city. The old city is still surrounded by a wall. There are three gates on the north: Herod gate, Damascus gate, and New gate. On the south is the Zion gate, on the east Golden gate, and on the west Joppa gate, through which the old city is entered. The streets are very narrow, many not wider than the extended length of a man's arms. There are shops on both sides. There is only one street in old Jerusalem wide enough for an auto- mobile. The east side, in possession of the Arabs, and the south, in possession of the Mohaminedans, are not built up as the north and west sides arc. Prac- tically all of the new city is Jewish. Since 1918 $225,000,000 have been sent to Jerusalem from people outside. Every year scores of Jews go there to spend their last days. There is a cemetery on the Mount of Olives where they wish to be buried. Nearly all the buildings in Palestine are built of limestone. There is no (Continued on page four) Pastor Gilbert Speaks of the Saviour as the Beginning and the End "God's aim in giving us the Bible was to make known unto man his plan and purpose in his Son, - was the theme of Pastor F. C. Gilbert Friday evening in the first of the series of doctrinal lectures which he conducted in the College View church. He said, - The Bible reveals Christ under three heads: Christ the divine Son of God and co-creator, Christ the son of man, and Christ as Lord of lords who will come to receive those who have ac- cepted him as divine and as the son of man. - "God never made anything but for Crhist, - the speaker declared. —All things were created by him and for him.' (Colossians 1:16) God's only heir, then, is Christ.. (Hebrews 1:2.)•• The speaker remarked that in Luke 24:27 Jesus began at Moses and all the prophets, and expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning•himself. He pointed out the unity of the Bible in portraying the life and work of Christ by referring a text in the last book of the Bible. (Revelation 22:13) in which John speaks of Christ as the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end— Alpha, the first letter of the Greek al- phabet and Omega, the last. "The first chapter of Genesis," he continued, "contains the word God thirty-one times, as many times as there are verses. The Hebrew word for God used here is the plural form, E/ohim. In Genesis 33:20 the singular form El is used. The fourth Hebrew word for God in Genesis is Aleph Tau. Aleph is the same as the Greek word Alpha. The Tau corresponds to the Greek word Omega. Thus is seen the whole purpose of the Bible from first to last is to show unto man God's plan and purpose in his son." Pastor Gilbert also outlined the theme of the doctrinal lectures to be continued in the church, his purpose being, - to strengthen the unity of the church and to sanctify the soul." CLUB DISCUSSES VARIOUS SUBJECTS Sigma Iota Kappa Members Expound in Thursday Night Meeting Eight members of Sigma Iota Kap- pa spoke on varied scientific, voca- tional, and inspirational subjects be- fore the club as it met Thursday eve- ning. The talks were planned for three minutes and based on assigned sub- jects. After Mr. Eickhoff had announced the nature of the program and intro- duced the speakers, Mike Holm, dis- cussing "Size," said that man is rela- tively large in proportion to other members of the animal kingdom. He ran down the scale of minuteness to the proton, then jumped to the oppo- site extreme and called attention to the Andromeda Nebula, with its colossal dimensions. His finale was a problem in mental arithmetic: how many elec- trons are there in the nebula? The scientific element was continued by Robert Cowdrick as he discussed the weight of the earth. After he told how a 150-pound man would weigh 2,500 tons on the faint companion star to Sirius, how the earth would weigh 180 sextillion tons on the sun or as little as a gram at a small meteor, he concluded that the expression "the weight of the earth" is a misnomer, because this globe can be said to weigh almost anything, depending on where it is weighed. Printing and related subjects were handled by three speakers. Elmer Ha- gen demonstrated the excellence of the work done in the college bindery by subjecting a book to the test of Merle Cline's pendant weight. After explain- ing some of the internal features that constitute a good job of binding, Mr. Hagen exhibited some of the finer wares produced by the college bind- ery. Earl Gable pictured a few of the griefs and the woes that are exper- ienced by editors and printers during the process of creating an issue of THE CLOCK TOWER.

Knights of Old No Longer Bold in Stronghold By EvER err DICK, '24 Many Union college students of to- day are more familiar with the names Alhambra, Wartburg, or the Louvre than with Union's famous Castle. Yet to college generations ago the Castle of Union college rivaled even these famous structures. In the early years of the twentieth century the fourth floor of the college building was set apart as -a haven of refuge for part of the boys. I am told by Unionites that the Castle when first used as a boy's home was unfinished and that the boys after committing some depredation found it agreeable to hide away in the dark recesses among the rafters and in the nooks and crannies. The Castle consisted of a long cor- ridor and large court surrounded by rooms. In this sky-lighted court the "Knights," as they called themselves, gathered for worship. As to who origi- nated the name "Castle" I do not know; but the title, wherever it came from, was very appropriate. Tower- ing high above the campus, with its many gabled windows and the bell tower above, the Castle was a 'dwell- ing which compared very favorably with a medieval stronghold. The rooms were long in proportion to their width, and were very large. As many as four boys were sometimes accommo- dated in one room. They were never well lighted and were very cold in winter. Standing high in the air the Castle afforded an excellent view 'of from 1911 to 1926. The arrangement of articles under the different general subjects follows the index. This list is especially helpful because it is up-to- date. A few hints in the use of the En- cyclopedia Britannica which are usual- ly applicable to other general refer- ence books follow: 1. Always use the indexes; 2. Use the classifications of articles; 3. Use the choronological ta- ble; 4. Use the bibliographies found at the end of every important article. The Questioning Reporter BY EARL GABLE This week's question: What was the best news you ever received? RUTH JOHNSON: Believe it or not, a letter from the president of Union. Three years ago I wrote to this school to find out if I could come and attend college here-that was in the early summer. It was just a week before I was supposed to be here that I re- ceived the joyful news that my appli- cation was accepted and that I might attend Union college. TED SPANOS: My father was very seriously ill. A specialist diagnosed his case, calling it some fancy medical name that didn't mean much to me, and I heard him telling Mother that Dad had only a slight chance of re- covering. A few days later the doctor discovered that his diagnosis was wrong and that my father would soon be well again. That is the most joyful news I ever received. MARGARET CLEMENS: The best news you ever received-sounds easy, doesn't it? But when ' you stop to think about it, the first thing you know you're going around in circles, at least that's what happened to me. I think, though, that one tof the best bits of news I ever received was when I was told that I could spend the sum- mer vacation with my grandmother in Colorado. HAROLD KANNENBERG: The most pleasant and interesting time of my life was when I had the opportunity of attending camp-meeting • last sum- mer, the first since I've become old enough to remember much about it. The people there ,were fflendly and seemed to be having a'wonderfal time. The sermons and lectures were inter- esting, and they surely helped a fellow to determine just where he stood with God. It was an enjoyable camp-meet- ing. MARGUERITE PRIEST: The most en- joyable news I have received was of a trip to the Sierra mountains, 250 miles north of Los Angeles. As one looks at the mountains from a distance he can see rivulets flowing down into the large river. The flowers, the thick green •trees, and the colored rocks show God's handiwork. Enjoyable though the news was, the trip was not for me. the whole surrounding country. Lin- coln was close at hand, farther away was Bethany, and University Place could be seen in the distance. Another group of boys lived in East hall and styled themselves "Senators" and their white home "The White House." Before East hall was re- modeled to serve in its present capa- city as a training school, the building was rectangular in shape. The proud Knight looked down in the home of the Senators and seeing a small white rectangular figure promptly named it 'The cracker box." Occasionally the Knights and Sena- tors had jousts on the baseball field or came to .blows in a snowball bat- tle. The latter usually came as the re- sult of a Senator hurling a snowball at some Knight errant as he sped home from a meal taken at one of the "square tables" of South hall. Perhaps it was a Knight who threw down the gauntlet. At any rate friends of the contestants soon hastened to defend the honor of the two groups. As a result a pitched battle ensued between the Knights and Senators. The Castle numbers among her il- lustrious sons men in all parts of our work today. They occupy positions as college presidents, mission superintend- ents, general conference workers, and students of Union college today [1926] will be interested to know that President Thiel was once a Knight. The Castle, cold and dreary though it was at times, holds a warm spot in the heart of many of the alumni scattered throughout the world. Its abandonment and subsequent use as a storehouse has no doubt caused a tinge of regret on the part of many. On the other hand, the alumni re- joice that, like the castle of feudal times, our Castle has given way to a modern dwelling with greater con- veniences and comforts for our young- er brothers.

ATTEMPTS TO PILOT HORSE- LESS CARRIAGE Bill Hanson stepped into the dairy room, leaving old Dobbin hitched to the resplendent wagon that now bears the milk from the barn to the bottling works. A certain young man whose initials are J.T. seized upon the psy- chological moment and playfully slip- ped the tugs. Out came Bill. Would he attempt to drive away with the motive power thus disconnected from the vehicle? Oh no! That keen eye at once saw the disunion; a skillful hand reunited the transmission. Just as Bill's lips formed the command to proceed, he conceived the idea that he must step into the dairy room again. Whereupon J. T., who believes in the progressive American's slogan, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again," once again loosed the tugs and stepped back out of sight to watch Bill jump into the wagon, give the reins a twitch and shout, "Giddap!" only to see the horse walk away from the motionless wagon. It is re- ported that no damage was done and the horse was stopped before he got down to the barn. 0 Colporteur Quotes The following sales tips are from current sales articles: KnOw how to approach folk.

The world is so filled with mediocre writers who possess nothing more than a clever but morbid sense of immoral- ity and an ironical hope of some day producing a monstrosity of heroes and heroines known as a "best seller" that any one short of a genius (or a moron) hesitates to gamble the short existence granted him against the whimsical attitudes of a gluttonous public or the "intellectual" spotlight of some sarcastic critic. It is said that these mediocre writers write because they like to write; but no, they write because the gullible masses suck in their stuff like swill into a pig. The masses want sensuality, and the "best seller" writer caters to the most rabid tastes in order to . earn a few shekels with which to adorn his immoral ex- istence. The man who said "The more I study men the more I admire dogs " added under his breath - How glad I am, though, that I'm not a dog." Inferiority complexes give rise to plus-gestures.

MILLER An encyclopedia is the best place to find quickly reliable and authorita- tive information and facts. Of course, just any encyclopedia will not do, for many such reference books are poorly edited, and many do not have well- recognized contributors. Some cheap encyclopedias are old editions re- printed with a few slight variations. For these reasons and others, one will need to use an encyclopedia, such as the Encyclopedia Britannica, that is recognized the world over as an au- thority on all subjects. Different subjects are discussed in monographic form; that is, the many sections or details are put in one place under the general topic being con- sidered. For instance, if one wishes to learn about a certain kind of glass, he should look under the general head- ings. This necessitates having some guide to the details which one wishes without having to disentangle them somewhere from the middle of a long article which may cover many pages. To answer this need an index has been published. In the Union college reference room is what the publishers term the "thir- teenth' edition" of the Encyclopedia Britannica, which really consists of the twenty-nine volumes in the eleventh edition, volumes xxx-xxxii (twelfth edition), and three volumes more, the whole of which constitute the thir- teenth edition. The first twenty-eight volumes com- prise the eleventh edition encyclopedia proper. In the front of each volume is a list of the contributors, official ap- pellations, and the articles in that vol- ume written by each. Volume xxix is the index for the first twenty-eight volumes. In this in- dex are listed the whole articles or parts of articles dealing with the sub- ject to be investigated. Using this in- dex is the most sure way of finding whether or not one has located all the information connected with his subject. In the back of volume xxix (pages 879, 974) a general classifica- tion is found which brings together the subjects in their proper relation. This does not take the place of the index but suggests other articles or topics closely related. The volumes which were added to complete the thirteenth edition con- tain, in addition to the usual features, a system of "see" references which direct one to subjects discussing that topic. The index to this edition is found in the third of the new volumes (pages 1171-1217).

GRAPES, SOUR AND OTHERWISE Aesop's famous fox that took three mighty leaps, all without success, after a bunch of grapes and then pronounced them sour is not without present-day counterparts on the college campus. One of the most noticeable of these is the student who has such depreciatory remarks for, the subject in which he is unable to receive a good grade. If he has deficient ability for punctuation, concise phraseology, and subordination of unimportant sentence elements, or if he can't remember the high points along the litera- ture trail from Beowulf to Kipling, it is quite certain that English as a subject is "all wet." If one will listen to some co-ed voicing her dislike for French or German, it will require no great amount of sympathy to agree with her argument that there is really no place for those sub- jects in a college curriculum. However, if one manage to hear her heroic efforts when she is deep in conflict with the object of her wrath, one will in all probability discover that her tongue, formerly so elastic, now is most disconcerted in trying to wrap itself around a troublesome foreign vowel. The student who spends most of his life bent over books, with little time for outdoor exercise, and who can scarcely run up a flight of stairs without gasping for breath or complaining for the next few days of sore muscles has, of course, no praise for physical education. On the other hand the high school hero who could run "a hundred in ten-and-a-half - or who could hit the line for consistent gains when the football was tucked under his arm seldom has much use for the chap interested in fine arts. The student who, because of limited financial resources, must work a share of his way nearly always proclaims that education means more to him than it possibly can mean to the rich man's son. It may be broadminded of the poor student that he sees things in this light, but-just let some one offer -him a scholar- ship. There is always that young man with us for some inexplicable reason delights in letting the hair grow on his upper lip. We must agree that although the intentions may be noble and many hours may be spent before the mirror in an attempt to encourage the enterprise, the results are not always flattering. Sometimes the constituents are numerically insufficient and at other times they are lacking in local color; but the first to bestow disparaging remarks upon our ambitious friend is none other than the fledg- ling who could cutivate a mustache for months and still keep it a secret. After all, we must admit that our own qualifications have much to do with our estimate of the things we see about us. C. G. TIME TO LISTEN "Meditation, - said President Andreasen, "is a vital part of prayer. When we pray, we talk to God; when we meditate, we give God a chance to talk to us." We hear sermons and read books about how a Christian, to be strong, should spend much time in prayer-and he should, of course-and then our consciences hurt because we haven't been allotting an hour a day to sit sternly with a Bible before us. All the time we forget that what is important is that we let God speak to us rather than that we take an hour to complain to Him or to worry about our sins. College can injure a Christian, but it is the fault of the Chris- tian, not that of the college. If one allows himself to be so over- loaded with the usual round of studies, work, and activities that his worship becomes a distasteful chore, he has surely harmed himself. Perhaps it is a measure of a college man that he know how to keep his balance and put first things first, that he learn to recognize God's voice to him at the in-between moments and to rely on its power and wisdom. Next week begins a period with special opportunity given to relax strenuous study and to listen for that still small voice. He who thinks he has found a good chance to catch up back assign- ments and reading will see that he has missed out on something substantial. A. L. W.

MORSE'S THE CLOCK TOWER PAGE THREE The Mail Box Harrison Evans, pre-medical gradu- ate of 1931 now attending the College of Medical Evangelists, in a personal letter to a faculty member of Union college says: "This is the last night of work for this month; tomorrow night Mira- cle, another fellow, and I shall go to Loma Linda. The month is going to be very hard; nevertheless, we are anxious to get back to school, for school is really interesting and we like it very much. -The reason this coming month is going to be hard is that we expect to finish up Bacteriology and Physi- ology. The teachers lecture up to next to the last day and then the last day we have our finals. And next to the last day they give us an extra long lecture so that we may have something to remember them by: however, that is hardly necessary. The teachers are really good fellows and I like them immensely . . . . they place high in National Board and they surely know their stuff. have attended some clinics, since my working nights permit it. They are very interesting and also instructive. The doctors are cordial, and always willing to explain things. Reading x-rays is another good point about the clinics, for we get to read a num- ber of them. -Miracle, Hilde, Fischer, Howard, and all the other Union fellows are getting along fine. Union is well rep- resented and all the fellows are liked. "I can't realize Thanksgiving is past and soon Christmas will be here. I wish I could slip back to old Union and Iowa for Christmas time. I should like to get in one more rousing basket- ball game with all the old fellows Gilbert Seminar Speaker (Continued from page one) they live up to what they believe and preach, he continued. Pastor Gilbert read: - Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching out unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3: 13, 14.) "We arc admonished to have but one aim in mind and that is to press onward toward the high calling of God, regardless of what is behind. The work of the future is our respon- silibility. We are obligated to do to- day what Christ did when he was here in this world. This is a noble calling. "Soft things make soft people," con- tinued the speaker. - Men who hold positions of honor today are men who have adapted themselves to hard things of life. Everybody can do the easy job, but who will do the hard job?" In his closing remarks, the speaker stressed the value of studying the Bi- ble as a tonic to clean up the gray matter.

EASTMAN KODAK STORES, INC. 1217 "0" St. Talks Sunday Night on Destruction of Death Continuing his series of lectures in the church, Pastor F. C. Gilbert spoke Sunday night on the destruction of death. A two-fold mission of Christ on this earth, the speaker said, was to live for man and to die for man. Living a sinless life, He was qualified to become man's substitute; after His last prayer in public, Christ entered the garden of Gethsemane, where He allowed to world to confess their sins on Him, Pastor Gilbert declared. Following Gethsemane, Jesus went to Calvary, where He allowed the world to take His life, even as the lamb without blemish was killed in the time of the earthly sanctuary, con- tinued the speaker. 'Because He was sinless, death could not hold Him; therefore Jesus obtained the keys of the tomb, and, as a sample of their use, raised a company from the dead and took them to heaven with him."

Methods for pack- ing and storing meat and other mat- ters of interest were considered at this plant and at the Swift and Company plant which was visited afterward. At 4:30 o'clock the class drove to the Ar-sar-ben grounds, where a live- stock show representing several states was being held. Good cattle of varied description and weight were there. Pigeons from every section of the United States proved to be exception- ally interesting. Features of the eve- ning program were parades of live- stock, trick and fancy riding, and ex- hibition of six-horse teams. Those who went on the trip with the instructors were Chester Cross, Elmer Carse, Joe Christensen, Kenneth Kannenberg, Cecil Barr, and T. T. Frazier. Gym Classes Drill (Continued from page one) es first met it was realized that all the girls were not from the "Land of a thousand lakes" when there were heard such phrases as "I've never been in a pool or lake," "You won't catch me opening my eyes under the water," "Oh, Miss Sparrow, please don't make me put my face in the water." But these phrases were not heard long, for the girls did put their faces in the wa- ter and open their eyes underneath, and were soon swimming up the pool to the deep end. Some of the girls who had never been in a lake dived into deep water and swam the length of the pool before the course was over. Students passing the Red Cross begin- ner's test were Johnie Margaret Tay- lor, Esther Hedger, Elinor Staples, Evelyn Jepson, Margaret Johnson, and Gretchen Van Syoc. Those passing swimmer's tests were Dorothy Dawson, Ruby Guishard, Grace Hackett, Florence Horn, Hazel Hutchison, Idamae Nelson, Margaret Nelson, Lilah Owen, Elsa Paeper, Irene Spaulding, Miriam Westcott, and Eleanor Sutton. Union Spruces Up in General BY IDAMAE NELSON What joy is manifested in the hearts of loyal sons and daughters of Union when they observe the improve- ments being wrought about the main buildings. Stair steps which were worn Into deeply rounded hollows by the earn- est tread of twenty college generations and which have squeaked for six- teen years now squeak no more. New (or renovated) steps being installed in the stairways kept every one one considerably confused for several days as to which side he should take to go up and down. Now that the work is finished, the new steps seem to make an ascent from the basement to the fourth floor much easier, in fact, a pleasure. Although every one is glad that storm doors have not been needed so far this season, it seems good to have them up, refurbished, and all decked out in a new coat of gray paint. Time boys are exceedingly lucky in having their washroom remade. The walls have been refinished and a gor- geous black and white tile floor put in. The non-dormitory girls who are unable to go home at noon have been provided with a lounge room, No. 208, on the main floor. Professor Habenicht has a little of- fice in the main floor lobby directly opposite the entrance stairway. Room 401 has been partitioned and made in- to offices for Professors Hanhardt and Dick. The halls in the science department have been plastered and painted and dressed up in general. And THE CLOCK TOWER offices have gained such dignity that they are scarcely recognizable!

Oh, yes, Union college is sprucing up, and her students are becoming prouder of her every day. 0 Club Discusses Subjects (Continued from page one) from the time the inspiration wells have functioned till the paper reaches its destination on the threshholds of the consumers. Walter Specht, though he declared he was not a final author- ity on journalistic finesse, told how he appreciated THE CLOCK TOWER and went on to point out a few improve- ments he would like to see for the sake of clarity. Clinton Woodland presented some of the problems that face a baker who wants to be progressive in his work. A personal touch was added by the re- lation of a few of his experiences and acquisitions after more than four years of institutional baking. One of the inspirational talks was given by Arthur Bietz. To help the club members avoid making fools of themselves he unburdened himself of several examples of folk who have played the monkey. The last speaker, Russell Dybdahl, expounded on com- mon honesty, which is more uncom- mon among civilized people, he said, than among savages. Mr. Dybdahl's diversified examples and exhortations were received with considerable en- thusiasm. Dialogue is Given (Continued from page one) stood with head bowed as the quar- tet sang again. The last scene represented a time years later when a group of earnest white people had sent two missionaries with Bibles to a group of pleading negroes. Those who took part were: Living- stone, Helmut Wakeham; Stanley, Harold Ledington; Stanley's compan- ions, Robert Bauman, Cecil Rodney, and Willard Bresee; others were Lau- rene Williams, Robert Dunn, Robeit Tschander, Joseph Robertson, Alvin Sonnenberg, Lucile Kirstein, Elin Ol- son, Hazel Bethelsen, Evelyn Mc- Williams, and Marjorie Keene, Pau- line Wickwire, Ada Townsend, Robert Heine, and George Eisenman sang.

Albert Peterson received word from home last week that his young brother had been killed as a result of being kicked in the head by a horse. Ruth Downing, graduate of 1932, visited Annabell Rumpf and other friends at the college. Miss Downing Milda Birch, of Broadview college, La Grange, Illinois, visited Elsa Pieper and Albert Anderson on Wed- nesday. Miss Birch was on her way to California. Jane Baker went Wednesday to her home in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Although she was unable to remain in school this semester, Miss 'Baker plans to return next year. Wednesday afternoon Ada Town- send, Esther Miller, Ermina Powell, Frances Spoden, and Verna Pooler gave a program of music and readings for the Grace Lutheran Mother's so- ciety. Dr. and Mrs. Orville Rockwell, of the sanitarium at Boulder, Colorado, visited in South hall over the week- end with their son Marshall Rockwell. They are not strangers to the college, for Dr. Rockwell conducted the physi- cal examinations for the students here a year ago. NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES By ROBERTA POGUE Most of the girls in sewing class have finished their hemstitching and now have the privilege of working on Christmas presents. In the art class some of the girls are working on furniture and rugs for dolls' houses and some of the boys are making an airport. At Junior Missionary volunteer meeting Wednesday Cecil Rodney read the secretary's report, Gordon Stout played a violin solo, Robert Pogue read a story on "What Rum Does," and Virgil Perriman read a poem. The seventh- and eighth-grade stu- dents have been working hard on their Friends and Companion requirements. A great many hope to be ready for Companion pins soon after Christmas and possibly a few for Comrades. STUDENTS GIVE EXPRESSION RECITAL SUNDAY An expression recital was given in Mrs. Hilt's classroom Sunday after- noon in which six students took part.

Formerly, when his scat in Bible class was among the girls, his test papers came back with red figures in the 50's. But when he took up a new position across the aisle, improvement was immediate. His first grade in the new environ- ment was a 95. Judah Looks to Holy Land (Continued from page one) wood in the country. The climate is much like that in California. The Jews desire to make Jerusalem an interna- tional city. Things are so modern that it is possible to accommodate thou- sands of tourists. The Joppa gate was built in 1899 in honor of the then Kaiser Wilhelm. He, like Nebuchadnezzar, had dreams and visions. Nebuchadnezzar's were from the Lord, but the Kaiser promised many things to the Jews and they built the gate in his honor. The Damascus gate and wall arc specimens of beautiful workmanship. In front of the gate is a plaza where the shepherds gather their sheep in the morning. Herod gate is where the shepherds bring their flocks in at night. It was built by King Herod. Zion gate is by the section of the city where King David had his capi- tal city. Before England got control over the country, the gates were closed every night. The people were afraid of riots among the tribes out- side. There are no vehicles allowed in the streets; the donkey is still the means of transportation. There are three religions there: Judaism, Mohammedanism, and Chris- tianity. There is a deep hatred be- tween the Jews and Mohammedans, and they both hate the Christians. Christianity there means either Greek Catholic or Roman Catholic. Great drouths come in Palestine, so that people depend on beverages other than water. There are many lemonade venders. All customers drink from the same glass. Agricultural methods are still prim- itive among the Arabs. They are mostly illiterate, only ten per cent be- ing able to read. In the center of the temple area is the Mosque of Omar. To the Arabs it ranks second only to Mecca. The dome is said to be built over Mount Moriah. Between 70 A. D. and 1917 Jerusalem changed hands nine times. An archeologist excavated eighty feet down and found the outline of the old wall of Solomon, who built his temple on Mount Moriah. If this be true, it is the place where Abraham was commanded to sacrifice Issac. Golden gate is in possession of the Mohammedans, who keep it closed all the time. There is a tradition that the Messiah will come through this gate and go to the Mount of Olives, where the Jews are buried. The antipathy is so great between the Jews and Mo- hammedans that the Mohammedans have a cemetery just in front of this gate, hoping that Christ will resurrect the Mohammedans first and forget the Jews. Sign in busy man's office: "Think twice before you speak; then talk to yourself." Poor Farm Visited by Sunshine Band Sabbath A Sunshine band directed by Esther Nelson and chaperoned by Mr. Stout visited the county poor farm Sabbath and presented a varied program to the folk who gathered in the dining room. At the close of a short song service prayer was offered by Louis Pettis. A mixed quartet, Esther Nelson, Dor- is Kirstein, Louis Pettis, and Harold Schmidt, sang "In the Hour of Trial" and "Tell Me the Old, Old Story" to an organ accompaniment by Ada Townsend. The first speaker was Wesley Blumenschein, who gave a Bible description of the home of the saved. His talk was followed by an- other song, "It i s well with My Soul," and Walter Specht read the story of a Christian maiden, in the days of old Rome, whose steadfast loyalty to the Christ effected the conversion of the worldly young Roman who was trying to get her to marry him and renounce her precious faith. When the quartet had sung "Tis so Sweet to Trust in Jesus," closing prayer was offered by Walter Specht. As the band visited and shook hands with the inmates, the young men passed out a number of Reviews, which were accepted with thanks. Bible Truths Fulfilled (Continued from page one) of Peter when he declared he would never deny Christ. Had he not placed so much confidence in himself, but in- stead had asked the Master to con- tinue praying for him, his experience which followed would have been dif- ferent," the speaker said. "Jesus is not looking so much for men who will die for Him as for men who will live for Him," he further stated. On account of these facts, there is a great need for people to get back to the study of the Bible, he continued. In meeting this need, Pastor Gilbert began his series of lectures on the 2300-day prophecy as given in the book of Daniel. Taking each part, step by step, he began proving clear- ly the meaning. By using Bible texts, he proved conclusively who Gabriel was, who was meant by the Prince of princes, and what the part which stood up against Him represented. When Jesus was a child, he explained, Herod, who sought to take His life, represented Rome, and when the Sav- iour had become a man, Pilate repre- sented this same government. "Gabriel did not finish interpreting the prophecy given to Daniel be- cause he saw that this servant of the Lord was not able to bear any more just then, for the revealing of what would happen to Jesus had caused him to become sick. Since Daniel was greatly puzzled to know the meaning of both the time and the event of this prophecy, he studied the Scriptures diligently,'' Pastor Gilbert said. The speaker explained that in He- brew the word translated in Daniel 9: 24 as "weeks" means "a period of sev- en years." Also, the Hebrew word for "determined" means literally "cut off short." For at least three years, he declared, Daniel continued praying for the rest of this interpretation. In order that the people of God to- day may meet all the devices of the evil one, they need to exert their en- ergies as Daniel, seeking out the meaning of the fundamental Bible truths, Pastor Gilbert declared. North hall elevator is not running, since the college is unable to obtain needed repairs. Professor Stanley Ledington, in- structor in harmony and theory, has just completed a thirty-eight-page composition of church music. A lot of energy is spent in trying to find out things we are sorry to know. Everybody knows how to express a complaint, but few can utter a grace- ful compliment.
