It is a mistaken policy to allow lawless persons to continue in their evil way in order to gain their good will, or to keep them from becom- ing discouraged, or for fear they will take revenge by destroying your property or calling you • names or offering some indignity to your person. Such a policy will fail of its purpose. Under it evil doers wax worse and worse. A community thus conducted be- comes a training school for the production of criminals. Every small boy is encouraged to defy law and join the company of law- breakers. Let the law take its course. Let evil-doers feel its strong hand and they will learn to have more respect for its majesty and sacredness. 0 THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER VOL. 3 � COLLEGE VIEW, NEBRASKA, NOV. 8, 1907 � No. 21 Eburational � ram/1'yr Representing the Educational Department of the Central Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists C. C. LEWIS � .EDITOR B. E. HUFEDIAN � CHURCH SCHOOLS OTTO M. JOHN . � ..MISSION. VOL. SOCIETIES MERTIE WHEELER � EDUCATIONAL NEWS J. I. BEARDSLEY. � MANAGER Editorial Please Read Romans 13:1-7. From this passage of Scripture it is plain that civil government is ordained of God, and that civil rulers are the ministers of God to hold law-breakers in check, in or- der that law-keepers may pursue in peace their daily avocations. Every soul, Christian or other- wise, should be subject to these powers. The law-abiding citizen will not be afraid of them. On the contrary he will recognize in them a divinely-ordained means of pro- tection from wicked and unprinci- pled men. And such a policy is in perfect harmony with the Scriptures. It is not contrary to the declaration that brother should not go to law against a brother. It is not bro- ther against brother; it is organiz- ed society against those who defy the laws of organized society. The State proceeds against the offender in the name of the people and for their protection. All right-think- ing persons, especially all Chris- tains, more especially allChristians who stand prominently before the world as commandment-keepers, should take their stand unequivo- cally on the side of the laws of the land and those who enforce them, unless some law should be enacted contary to the law of God. The Publishing Department of the General Conference is making the "Scholarship Plan" a perman- ent feature of the canvassing work, and is calling for a thousand per- sons to begin work this fall for one or more scholarships next year. Any energetic person can win two scholarships by the fall of 1908 and make a good living as he goes along. Try it, young man or young woman. Write us for partic- ulars. The call of the busy world to- day is for men and women who have had a practial training as well as a theoretical one. This is but natural. Not only is it essential that the "why is it done" be un- derstood, but the how is it done" as well. The education that counts is the one that teaches how to do the practical things of life. The busy world demands educated people with a thorough knowledge of some special line. ----Selected We have received a call from Professor Griggs, chairman of the Educational Department of the General Conferenc, asking for two teachers to take up church school work in the West Indies. He states that the West Indian brethren are very anxious that we should get them good teachers who have had that experience which would prove them to be qualified for the work. These schools are ready to open and have the support for the teach- ers provided. If any feel impress- ed to respond to this call, let them write us and we will put them in cor- respondence with Prof. Griggs. Mr. Clem Benson, the Central Union Assistant in the Young People's Work, has accepted the invitation to take the secretary- ship of the Educational and Young People's work in the Northern Union Conference, the place made vacant by the call of Otto Graf to Union College. Our Union Con- ference regrets very much to lose Mr. Benson, especially just at this time. Inasmuch as the head-quar- ters of the General Conference Missionary Volunteer Department are located temporarily at College View, Professor Kern has been asked to retain the Central Union Conference Young People's work until the meeting of the Conference in January, and Mr. Otto John has been appointed to assist him in the work. The MESSENGER wishes Mr. Benson the same suc- cess as has crowned his efforts in the Central Union. "Our schools are overflowing," is the word that comes from every part of the land. The young people's movement and the scholar- ship plan of the canvassing work are without doubt the chief causes of this prosperity. Let the good work go on.

JOHNSON With sadness we record the death of Emil F. Johnson, who attended Union College year be- fore last. He was working for Brother John F. Graham, of Bal- lard, Washington, saving his mon- ey to return to College, expecting to finish the Swedish course this year. With his employer he had gone in a gasoline launch on some business about thirty miles away. They rode all night. Both were employed about the boat. Toward morning Brother Graham took the wheel, while Emil went to the stern. After a time Brother Gra- ham fell asleep, and when he awoke he saw Emil lying on the cabin floor as if asleep. When he tried to arouse him he found that he was dead. This was the morn- ing of August 15. The coroner said he died of heart disease. Emil was an upright, faithful, Christain young man. Brother Graham says: "We loved him as one of our own family, and had large hopes of his usefulness. I know that Emil was a good Chris- tain brother and faithful in his ser- vice to our Lord. We feel that he will surely have a part in the first resurrection. He was working for us, to get money to go to school, to prepare for service in the Mas- ter's work." To the relatives and schoolmates of Emil we extend our deepest sympathy and pray that God may comfort them in their sorrow. THE SCHOOL WORK IN JAMAICA The readers of the MESSENGER are already acquainted with the fact that Professor C. B. Hughes and wife have gone from Keene Academy, Keene, Texas, to take charge of the new school enterprise in Jamaica. From a letter written by Sister Hughes a few weeks ago, we glean for ourr eaders the follow- ing interesting facts concerning this school. It is located at Willowdene, Jamaica. The school house stands on the side of a hill, and moun- tains can be seen in every direction. At the time of writing their school family consisted of 24. The house has four rooms above, and an assembly room and a room for the boys below. They dine up stairs on the veranda. The workers are all well, and are much pleased with the climate and the ontlook in gen- eral. They say the summer is not hot. So far the climate has been delightful. At night they sleep with the doors and windows open, but have as much cover as they would need in Texas. The weather the year around is said to be like fall in Missouri. They had been having much dry weather at the time of writing, but were expecting the rainy season in a few weeks. In the dry season they have a heavy dew and fog nearly every morning, so that the air does not seem dry. But they were having no rain to wet the ground or replenish the tank, which is their only water supply; hence until the rains come on, they have to haul water about two miles. They have bananas all the year a- round, and oranges until about the first of April. Since then they were having star apples. Besides ban- anas there is said to be some other kind of fruit in season throughout the year. The financial question is a very perplexing one. They have a farm of 98 acres, and from this the Gen- eral Conference wishes them to make enough money to support the school, since very few of the pupils will be able to pay tuition, and many of them cannot even pay for their board except as they work it out. The General Conference has been very liberal in offering to erect buildings and get things started, but the workers do not as yet know how the matter of support will go when they get the school started. There is a natural bridge six and one half miles from the school, and recently the teachers took the stu- dents to see it. The boys had just completed clearing and plowing a piece of land, and had been work- ing so hard that they were given a holiday, and all the school went with them to see the bridge. The workers say they never be- fore saw so many poor people. They certainly need schools. But they have nice, devoted young people as material to work with. The school was advertised to be- gin June 3, but classes were being conducted for the benefit of those who were working on the farm and about the school. There is as yet no church erected, hence Sabbath- school is held in the assembly room of the school. A few persons be- sides the school family meet for worship. The people speak Eng- lish, but the language is so poor it is difficult to understand them. At the time of writing Brother and Sister Cushman, of Lincoln, Neb., were expected soon, and upon their arrival it was planned to build a cottage so as to provide more room for the school. We shall be glad to receive later the report of the opening of the school.

I cannot tell why there should come to me, Thought of you, Friend, miles or years away, In swift insistence on the memory, Unless, for you, it needs be that I pray. You go your way, I mine; we seldom meet To talk of plans and longings day by O f d pain or pleasure, triumph or defeat, Or special reasons why 'tis time to pray. We are too busy e'en to spare thought, For days together, of the friends away; Perhaps God does it for us, and we ought To heed the memory as a call to pray. Perhaps just then, that one has fiercer fight, A more appalling weakness, a decay Of courage, darkness, a losing hold of right— And so, in case he needs my prayer I pray. Friend, do the same for me! If I in- trude In thought upon you, on some crowded day, Give me a moment's prayer, as inter- lude; Be very sure I need it, therefore pray. And as you bear my name before the Throne, Perhaps in prayer for you, I'll meet you there! Oh! Let us not neglect this holy gift— What blessings God hath wrought thro' prayer. � —Selected. During the past month the College View Young People's Work has been undergoing a thorough reorganization. The young ladies' and young men's per- sonal'work bands have united under the name of the College View S. D. A. Young People's Society of Missionary Volunteers. Besides conducting its per- sonal work and prayer' divisions the Society has the supervision of the Sab- bath afternoon.Young People's Meeting, and the Junior Work. The following persons are the officers of the Society: President, H. U. Ste- vens; Secretary, Emily Johnson; Treas- urer, M. B. Jenkins; Leader of Young Men's Division, W. J. Eden; Leader of Young Ladies' Division, Matilda Erick- son; Leader of Junior Division, Otto M. John. The new name "Missionary Volun- teers" adopted at the late Young People's Convention, is most significant. A vol- unteer recognizes within himself or her- self certain power and ability which, if controlled by a Supreme Commander, may play an important part in carrying the message to a dying world. Let us take the name at its full worth. •� Program for Young People's Meeting November 16. Subject: EVERT DAY Op Lira. 1. God's Providences � • � - Miss Lottie Bell 2.
