I � I The Educational Messenger � 3 Elsie Gibbs, Elk Falls, Kans.: Quiet life on the farm seems very enjoyable after the weary trials of Summer School. I have joined the ranks of teachers for next winter but expect to send a new student to take my place at Union. Venice, Calif. I realize now how much I really do appreciate you, since I am away out here on the edge of the blue Pacific, and although I have to have you sent on to me after my mother in Texas gets through with you, I enjoy every word of you. You seem like a letter from home. If you have time to listen I'll tell you a little of my story. While I was at the Nebraska campmeeting I got word that I could start my M. D. course this fall if I came out here and took some summer school work, so I packed my things in a hurry and said goodbye to Old Union and Started for the "Golden West." I went down thru the fine farming lands of Kansas, Oklahoma and parts of Texas to Ft. Worth, then Straight west through the great level prairies covered with wild flowers of all colors, to Roscoe where I Stopped off two days to visit with my mother and grand- mother. Then on through the sandy deserts of New Mexico and Arizona where the sand whirled in clouds in the cars and the thermometer registered 116 in the shade. Then when I got to El Paso, I had to lay over a day, so I went down in- to Old Mexico, took pictures of the soldiers, ate dinner, got into a Mexican prison--- and got out alright and was searched by the soldiers as I came back into the States. I got'into Loma Linda in the evening after riding through miles and miles of beauti- ful orange and olive groves. Loma Linda is one of the most beautiful spots I have ever seen. I'll not at- tempt to describe it in detail. Then after two days there, I came on down to Los Angeles to the University of Southern California to get my zoology. This Study is a full year's work and is given in six weeks and is keeping me hustling from morn- ing until late at night. But it is very interesting and I like the work. It is very cool and. nice to Study as we are right on the coast, fifteen miles from Los Angeles and the building in which we do our laboratory work is an aquarium built right out over the ocean on piers. The study is given down here so specimens can be obtained from the sea to work on. The department owns a thirty-eight foot launch, and we go up and down the coast in it, hunting strange, queer and curious animals. Oh, yes, I must not forget to tell you about the oranges. They are so plenti- ful and cheap that I carry them around with the all the time, almost and eat them whenever I have a suspicion of hunger. I think its mostly "tenderfeet" that do that way as the natives here are used to them. I will be through here by August 9, then I expect to go back to Loma Linda and work till school opens, September 13. � H. Ellet Scoles. 4 � The Educational Messenger Dora PauStian, Hamilton, Mo.: The Messenger always looks good to me, so please hurry with the news spe- cial. I'm teaching expression here this summer and enjoy it immensely in spite of the warm weather. My methods are approved by Professor Smith, vocalist of Kansas City. l"m helping in a big recital here next Thursday night. The recital is to be mostly by my Students. I'm proud of 'em. Eliz. 0. Walde, College View Nebr.: College View is a pretty lively place at present. About seventy-five students are here for Summer School among whom is my sitter, Susan. It is not my privilege to attend, but instead I'm learning some things anyway as I am German secretary at the International for the. summer. I expect to be teaching next year. Best wishes to all. Arthur Thorpe, Manitou, Colo.: I am having a grand time climbing mountains and exploring canons here around Colorado Springs and Manitou, Colo. The climate is great, the days being quite cool and the nights sometimes real cold. I have realized the great ambition of all tourists, I have climbed Pike's Peak from the bottom to its very peak. It is cer- tainly the hardest nine mile walk it was ever my pleasure to take. The round trip took fourteen hours steady walking. E. H. Meyers, Evanston, Wyoming: The July number of the Messenger has just come and I apprecaite very much the lengthy news part and to learn of those who have taken advantage of the vaca- tion weeks which bring matrimonial privileges. Four weeks after "Union" closed I came to the extreme Southwest of Wyoming. The elevation here is nearly 7,000 feet and I am having mountain top experiences each day, in the colporteuring work. It was my privilege to get enough orders, in the first twelve days out, to make a scholarship for "Union." I am nearly 1,000 miles from Union but am anxious for the time to come to board the train and return. I hope to bring at least one new student with me. Looking forward. anxiously, to the time for the August number of the Messenger with its notes from the Students and subscribers of our college paper, I am yours for success. Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Taylor, College View, Nebr.: This finds us still in College View, trying to keep cool in spite of the weather. However, there's one advantage we see in living here and that is that we'll get our August Messenger sooner than most of you. Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Smith have returned from their western tour and will live in the house vacated by Professor Weber. It seems good to see Mr. Smith at his old post in the business office again. The Educational Messenger Varner Johns, A. B. '13, is taking summer school work at Union. Charles Plumb, A. B. '13 has been making quite a visit in College View. He will teach in the Oakpark Academy at Nevada, Iowa, the coming year. Lincoln Damsgard, A. B. '13, is teaching in the Union College Summer School. He begins to feel quite at home with the faculty on the platform. � le will be assistant in the mathematics department next year. A. N. Anderson, Tokyo, Japan: It gives us pleasue to send greetings from Japan Commencement Day. Last Monday, in the Japanese Language School, marked the completion of our first year of study. I still maintain that to master the tongue is more difficult than French III. Recently we attended the dedication of a new church in Wakamatsu, a small city some two hundred miles north of Tokyo. The trip through the mountains was very pleasant. A brass band composed of some of our foreign brethren from Tokyo and Elder De Vinney's stereopticon were greatly appreciated, especially by the children, who swarmed into the church like so many bees. Elder De Vinney was exhib- iting pictures of his recent journey around the world. He had great difficulty to be heard on account of the clamor of the audience. We rejoice to see the work so well started in such strategic points as Wakamatsu, Kuji, and other places. Soon we shall be connected with a tent effort in Nagoya. No. I am not speaking the language yet, but the Lord is helping us to learn. Esther Francis, Wells, Minn.: I am enjoying the cool air at my home in Minnesota. Ruth Middaugh, Ames, Nebr.: I am attending Summer School at the Fremont Normal and am enjoying my work in spite of the warm weather. I expect to teach again this year at Ains- worth, Nebr. Hattie Abbott, College View, Nebr.: I am attending Summer School at present, working on English VII. The work keeps us busy, nevertheless we are enjoying it. My plans are to return this year and join the ranks of the college juniors. Herschel and Lowell Bunch, Gravelford, Ore.: Since leaving Union a year ago we have been operating a dairy near Cape Blanco. We plan to continue our school work at Walla Walla next winter, but must still have the Messenger call each month. Eugenie Covert, San Martin, Calif.: Your card found me spending the summer months with my parents here in San Martin, Calif., after a hard, successful year's work in the beautiful state of Oregon. I expect to return to Portland in the fall. The Messenger is always looked forward to and literally devoured upon arrival. The Educational Messenger Miss Alice Reid is busy in the tract society office in Hutchinson, Kans. Hulda Honstein, Culbertson, Nebr.: I am out on the western plains of Nebraska enjoying farm life. Miss Inez Huffman reports that she is enjoying her summer school work at Union very much. She expects to teach church school at Oakdale, Nebr., the coming year. Mr. and Mrs. H. 0. Olsen report a good interest in their tent effort in Minne- apolis. They will be connected with the Broadview Seminary at La Grange, Ill., next year. Mr. D. K. Oxley, Mr. Roy Oxley and wife spent July 10-14 with the Misses Julia and Mary Moore at Winnetka, Ill. They were entertained with a moonlight marshmallow roast on the beach of Lake Michigan, bathing in the lake and a trolley ride to Fort Sheridan. Mrs. Alfreda Emerson-Hare spent a couple of days in College View laa week renewing old acquaintances. She was just returning to her home in Minnesota after a visit with her parents in Topeka, Kans. Mrs. Hare will be preceptress of the Maplewood Academy again next year. M. N. Helligso, Norfolk, Nebr.: Before I forget, I will write a line to all the "Unionites," among whom I am glad to be classed as one. This finds me thoroughly enjoying my work in connec- tion with a tent effort here in Norfolk, Nebr. My duties vary from "blowing the horn" to caring for our camp on stormy nights; and incidentally, I find it a pleasure as well as a duty to "blow" a little for Union---"the Student's desire"---especially when he has left her halls for life's duties. Alfred Petterson, Keene, Texas: On the evening of July 1 5th a mumber of "Old Union's" sons and daughters made merry at the home of Miss Neva Matthews at Keene, Texas. The time was spent reviewing "Ye Old College Days," and looking at pictures of scenes familiar in Union. The students present were Miss 011ie Taylor, '13; Miss Neva Mat- thews, '14; Mr. Roy Casey, '14; Mrs. A. D. Field, A. D. Field, '09; and Alfred Petterson, '05-'1 0. Emile W. Tonjes, Brooklyn, N. Y. The July issue came and with it a great surprise. Glad to hear the doings of unions formed at Union. As for myself I am enjoying a good vacation. Am tak- ing work at the N. Y. U part of the time, and ti,e remainder of the time I am at home. There is no place like home after all; it affords privileges which no other place can. As to my work for the coming year I cannot say anything very definite; but this is one thing certain, I will be very busy. There is a great demand for men The Educational Messenger and women everywhere, but only those who know how need apply. Years spent in good schools are not wasted; one realizes this feet more keenly after having finish- ed a college course. Miss Gertie Helligso is busying herself this summer with household duties and music at her home in College View. Alfred E. Judd, Battle Creek, Mich. Greetings! I'm actually so busy this summer that I can't find time to swim--- and you know that means I'm really rushed. I do take on a little tennis now and then though merely for the exercise. The laboring portion of my time is spent in the business office of the Sanitarium where at present I am acting as assistant to the cashier. Prof. and Mrs. Thiel have spent the vacation up to Augugt 1, in College View. Prof. Thiel has attended summer school at the University. Mrs. Thiel has been busily engaged in household duties and in the care of a year-old nephew. Prof. and Mrs. Thiel go to South Dakota to spend the nocrith of August at the home of his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Howell Brooke, Canton, Ga.: As an erstwhile member of the Messenger slag, I can appreciate the call for a news note from old "Unionites" possibly more than those who have not had that experience. I was on the first "Student Board" who took charge of the paper and helped to make it what it is to-day. Hence I feel a personal pride in it, and a de- sire to help it be really a Messenger to those who once had the privilege of being in "Mother Union's" arms. If I knew who the sunmer editor is, I should know bet- ter how much information I need give. In case you are a stranger, I'll say all that's necessary to tell a stranger; namely, that I am Annie Laurie McCutchen, B. A. '10, having attended Union from the fall of 1907 until the spring of 1910. If you are a child of Union, you know how dear she is to me, after an acquaintance of that length. My husband was in Union in '08—'09 and as result of our both being there together, we are here together---and will be "until death do us part." Mr. Brooke is mayor of the town in which we live, and has a good law prac- tice. He is too modest to tell anybody, but I'll write for him. Georgia is a lovely place to live---at least it is here in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We are happy, and are trying our best to be children of whom our Alma Mater would not be ashamed. Suffice it to say that we love Union, and often talk of the blessings she has brought us. We wish her well, and send greetings to the friends whom we found there, for they are truest and best. That Union may mother many score of worthy young men and women is the prayer of both of us. 8 � The Educational Messenger Mr. and Mrs. I. F. Blue have left College View for Tekemah, Nebr., Mr. Blue will visit his parents there while Mrs. Blue will spend several weeks with her parents in California. Mr. and Mrs. Blue expect to leave for India early this fall. Mr. and Mrs. B. N. Mulford are in charge of the Fountain Head Industrial School, near Fountain Head, Tenn. Mrs. Mulford will be remembered as Miss Dora West, a graduate of the normal department of Union in 1899. Mrs. A. C. Hiatt, Jocko, Mont.: My daughter, Miss Cora Lynn and I attended the Montana State Campmeet- ing held at Helena. I met several old friends while there, among whom were Mr. Floyd Stratton and wife, Mr. Calvin Bungor and Professor E. C. Kellogg. If we are Union College friends we are friends forever and our college paper binds our hearts together closer than any other one thing can. I do not want to be without the Messenger because it keeps me in touch with Old Union and the be young peo- ple in the world. Miss Ruth Harvey and her mother Mrs. N. E. Harvey left last Thursday for a visit with relatives in Kansas City. They expect to go soon to Strode Academy where Mrs. Harvey will be matron and Miss Harvey will teach music. Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Saxton, Seward, Nebr.: We are nicely located in Seward, Nebr., with Elder Seltzer and his family as a tent company. The interea and attendance is good, and although the work is new to us we are enjoying it very much. We wish the Messenger family a pleas- aat and profitable summer. Mrs. 0. H. Shrewsbury, St. Cloud, Minn.: At the Minnesota campmeeting there was held a reunion of Union College stu- cents. Fifty were present. It seemed good to see old college friends once more. I enjoy Minnesota very much,—only in the winter time it is rather cold with the thermometer thirty-two below zero, and in the summer the mosquitoes are very per- sistent in presenting their bills, but between times it is all right. Mrs. Leon L. Caviness (nee Agnes Lewis) Takoma Park, Wash, D. C.: Your very clever request for news reached us last week. Time goes very rapidly with us. We are so busy and so happy that there is little to tell;—you re- member � "Blessed is the people that has no history." Mr. Caviness is working on the revision of the book "Facts for the Times." He spends three days of the week at the Review and Herald building and three days at the Congressional Library. The Seminary campus is rather a lonely place this summer, all the dormitories closed except this one, where I spend my time trying to make a home for the fifteen or twenty who remain here. In the evenings, we read French and play tennis. To the Messenger we say heartily, "Gluck auf." The Educational Messenger � 9 Elder D. U. Hale is the new president of the Nebraska Conference. Miss Daisy Reid is attending the summer school, and will teach church school again next year. Miss Ruby Wiseman is busying herself this summer with a number of oratory §tudents, and English VII at the Summer School. Mrs. John Weber and family have gone to Battle Creek, Mich., to join Pro- fessor Weber, who is working in the business office at the Sanitarium there. Prof. H. A. Morrison underwent an operation for appendicitis on Tuesday, July 21. He is reported as doing nicely, and we hope he will soon be able to be at his work again. Mrs. W. P. Rowell will leave for Colorado on Wednesday, Aug. 12. She expects to go to the campmeeting in Denver, and then join her husband on their ranch near Cedaredge. Prof. Lawrence Anderson and family are spending several weeks visiting Mrs. Anderson's parents in Ridgetown, Ontario, before coming to College View. Pro- fessor Anderson will teach Latin and German in Union College this year. We are sorry that we overlooked Mrs. A. G. Taylor's name in our list of Uni- versity students in our last issue. She has been taking work in French, and is plan- ning on continuing her study of that language there next year, and to teach French and Spanish in Union. Misses La Rue Ranson and Alice Brown write that they have just passed their examinations for their certificates, and expect to teach school near Miss Ran- son's home, Decatur, Texas, next year. .Chancy Premer, Stockville, Nebr.: I am assisting in a tent meeting in this town and have been here for some time. I am enjoying my vacation. Will be back to "Old U. C." at the opening of school, and am working to bring others with me. Albert Madsen, Downer, Minn.: The July Messenger surely looked good to me with its newsy pages. Even the ads looked natural. I am canvassing here, and have my scholarship ready for Union on opening day. We stay with Whitnack's who lived in College View for a number of years. I look with interest for the August number. Gus B. Youngberg, Huron, S. D.: I am in the battlefield fighting for the cause of truth,---not that the truth needs me, but I need it as does all with whom we come in contact, if we could only con- vince them of the fad. I have done nothing wonderful yet in the canvassing work, but the Lord has placed me in it and He may not count the dollars earned as we sometimes do. I hope to be back when school opens. 10 � The Educational Messenger John W. Weber, Battle Creek, Mich. Am enjoying a change of work in old B. C. Hazel Richardson, Auburn, Iowa.: A change of work has been my "rest" this summer---hut it has been enjoyable. I expedt to "rah" for 1915! Mr. B. L. Jacobs, A. B. '13, received the degree of Master of Arts at the University Summer School. Aug. 1. He took his degree in Chemistry. Helen Orr and Ruth Youngberg, North Platte, Nebr.: We are having a delightful vacation. Just now we are driving over the well- heated, cactus-blessed sands of the famed "American Desert." The sandhills around North Platte, in spite of prarie dogs and rattlesmakes, are a pleasant place to can- vass. Our work is very interesting, and while we are enjoying it, yet we will be glad to see Union again. Florence L. Hansen, Little Rock, Ark.: Greetings to my dear Union friends. 1 so often think about you and wonder what you are doing. Have spent a very pleasant summer keeping house, playing tennis and swimming. How I would love to have a visit with each of you, but seeing this is impossible, I am glad we can communicate through the Messenger. May God help us to be faithful to the end so that we may meet in the earth made new. G. C. George, Redfield, S. D.: Mrs. George, our little girl Myrna, and myself are spending the summer at Redfield, S. D. Mrs. George and Myrna are keeping house while I am attending to duties in connection with my work at Plainview Academy. For the past four weeks Mrs. George's mother, Mrs. L. Collins of College View, Nebr., has been visiting with us. It is needless for me to say that we are having a good time. Crops are good in most parts of South Dakota and prospects indicate a full enroll- at the Academy this year. A. J. Olson, Correll, Minn.: The first seven weeks after leaving Union I canvassed. Hail much of the time and rain every day kept me from doing very well. � Often waded in water more than knee-deep. Got a little over $600 in the seven weeks. For a pleasant change in work, I am now busy in the harvest field at home. Am planning to fin- ish with the 1915's if possible. Nola Beardsley, College View, Nebr.: I am taking Summer School work under Professor Lacey. Mother is finishing her commercial work in Summer School. Miss Eunice Crawford spent several days in College View recently. The Educational Messenger � 1 I Miss Caroline Reid is visiting friends in Boulder, Colo. She expects soon to leave on a trip to California. j. G. Mandalian, College View, Nebr.: The July number of the Messenger was of much interest to me. I am im- proving my vacation by learning the magnificent trade of tailoring. The manager of the "College Tailors" is very hopeful of me, and prospects of my making a first grade tailor by next fall are more than encouraging!! Intellectually, I am in a stage of rest just now, preparing for solid, hard work in Old Union the coming fall. Davenport, Iowa. We opened our series of meetings the 25th of June with an attendance of 500 the first evening and had a remarkably good attendance ever since and are hard at work. 4,250 people attended the first three weeks' of the meetings which was an average of 235 at each meeting. We feel that God has wonderfully blessed our efforts in this place, and we are looking forward to a good harvest. As was report- ed in the July issue Mrs. Bates and I are under appointment to go to China. We expect to sail from Seattle the twenty-sixth of September, toping at Honolulu, the Philippines, and Canton China before reaching our destination---Shanghai. We will arrive there just in time for a conference of the workers in that part of the world. We expect to see there, among other old Union students, Alfonso Anderson and his wife from Japan, Roy Hay and wife of the Philippines, and the many others too numerous to mention who are faithfully laboring in those heathen lands. We will be glad to see again our old class mates and friends even in that distant country. Mr. and Mrs. Floyd E. Bates. Stella Parker, Longmont, Colo.: I was just reading an article entitled, "Things That Give Us the Satisfied Smile," when suddenly I recalled the card from the Messenger with the injunction to read Proverbs 25: 25. Strange that the article should call up such memories, isn't it? Well, if the old Messenger could speak, I'm certain it could tell tales of many a "satisfied smile" on many an old student's face when the old college paper turned up in the mail! Surely there is nothing like it to call up memories of school days. I am at home for the summer. Recently I spent several days at "Seven Sisters Farm," Loveland, Colo., the home of our editor. It has been said of her, "no one knows how much she knows," but one must see her at home to realize how fitting a tribute the words are. As I watched her turn out moulds of golden butter, bake bread to perfection, and listened while she discussed crops and poultry, I saw that she is proving her fine qualifications as an agriculturist no less than she already has as a literary light. I'm spending a most enjoyable vacation, of course. How could it be otherwise in Colorado? 12 � The Educational Messenger A. G. Youngberg, Huron, S. D.: I am enjoying the canvassing work and having many precious experiences. Though I have had no great success from a financial standpoint I pray that my work may be the means of drawing some sinsick souls nearer to the Master. I am Still hoping to get back to Union by September 15. Pray for us canvassers for the battle often goes hard. Una May Gourly, Glenwood, Iowa: I jai returned home from a visit to the country and was very glad to find the Messenger and your card awaiting me. I have been enjoying a rest this summer, the first in six years I have had the privilege of being at home. Just resting and gaining strength after my operation so I may return to Union this autumn and finish my course. I shall be anxious to get the AuguSt number to learn the news from our friends far and near. Harry Cooper, Auburn, Ind.: This "far off country" of Indiana has been treating me splendidly. Here I have found a country of many shady woods and an occasional lake of clear crystal- like water. But best of all I have foumd many hearts ready for our good books. I am working on my third scholarship now. Here's for a happy reunion at Un- ion soon. R. M. Cossentine, Minneapolis, Minn.: Dear Editor; whoever you may be, I am glad to send in this note. I was very much pleased with the interesting items in the "Wedding Special" and am looking forward with much interest to the "News Special." I have been enjoying the most strenuous period of work at the University of Minnesota that I ever put in in any school. It is within ten days of completion now, and it will be a relief to drop it. I am not yet settled as to my location the coming winter, though I hardly plan on spending the time at Union, much to be regretted as that is. I:am of good courage in all respects. F. G. Hallock, Boulder, Colo.: I am still employed at the Boulder Sanitarium. I just got back a short time ago from my vacation in Kansas. I was much pleased to see the little company of believers that has lately been raised up in our neighborhood near Gretna, Kans. My brother and his wife are among the new converts. The Sanitarium here has had a prosperous year so far. The rush is on now. We have something over a hundred patients, and will have more in August. August is our biggest month. Boulder is full of tourists now. Herbert Griffith of U. C. is now employed as bookkeeper at the Sanitarium. Ethel Collie, U. C. 1905—'09, who has been nursing in Thermopolis, Wyo., is back in Boulder now. She liked her work there, but duty called her home. The Educational Messenger � 13 Mr. Leo Chang is one of the English VII students in the Summer School. Miss Louise Reid is visiting friends in Minitare, Nebr. Miss Lola Spear expects to leave the last of this month for Madison, Tenn., where she will attend the training school for the coming year. P. A. Sufficool, College View, Nebr.: I am spending my vacation here at the College helping keep the weeds down and the corn up. Nebraska City, Nebr. The Misses Clara and Ethel Wood are drinking deeply of all the frolicsomc, worksome joys of country life through sunshine and rain, fishing, picnicing, harvest- ing, and haying with all the delightful variations; and expect to return to Union Col- lege in the fall. Lester Knowlton, Buckingham, Ia.: I am as busy as can be in a store this summer. Of course 1 am planning on being in Union again next year. I have surely missed the old students and my work since I came from there and do not want to miss this number of the Mes- senger. Union College has a good representation in the Campion Academy for the coming year. Prof. E. E. Farnsworth will again have charge of the Bible depart- ment; Maude Strickland will teach music; G. C. Hankins, commercial, and Pearl Jenkins, primary. Besides these, Prof. C. L. Taylor is Principal, and Prof. T. A. Page will teach the intermediate grades from the sixth to the eighth. P. W. Pearce, Point Lookout, Mich.: . 1 am at Point Lookont at our cottage for the summer, and you may be assured that I am enjoying it very much. Swimming and fishing are very popular here as well as the other sports of a summer resort. This Point marks the dividing line be- tween Lake Huron and Saginaw Bay. H. Romain Dixon, Portis, Kans.: I have been enjoying "all the comforts of home" this summer, but am anxious to be back into school work once more. It has been a fine summer so far, plenty of rain, and cool weather. Crops are fine. I expect and hope to have several of the boys from here with me at school this year. Hoping a large number of the "Senators" return, I remain a loyal Unionite. Elder J. W. Christian has resigned the presidency of the Nebraska Confer- ence, and has given himself as an answer to the call to free Union College from the debt now resting upon it. Although Union College's debts are not pressing, it is thought that it can do better work when free from debt. We are glad that Elder Christian has given himself for this work, for we know that he can do it. 14 � The Educational Messenger Miss Abbie Burdine is canvassing with horse and buggy in South Dakota near Huron. She reports fine succes. Mabel and Lydia Berg are enjoying the summer at their home in Hudson, South Dakota. C. C. Morlan is field secretary for the Southern California Conference.

Clarence Wheeler, Tyro, Kans.: Farming is the real thing in Kansas this year, and it keeps me busy most of the time, but I always have plenty of time to read the Messenger, and to boost for Union when there is opportunity. I expect to return to College View at the close of vacation, to help make the coming school year the best in the history of old U. C. J. J. Strahle, Springfield, Mo. In answer to Prov. 25:25, I must quote Ps. 126:3, "The Lord hash done great things for us; whereof we are glad." Truly the Lord has done great things for the colporteurs in South Missouri so great they cannot be told in words or fig- ures. I have enjoyed my work greatly going to and fro helping the boys, but my heart is still with dear Old Union. Let us all bring at least one student back to college this fall. Lillian Lickey, Galt, Mo.: I'm glad to have the Messenger. The poet was right when he said, "When you are away you will need it." I have enjoyed a good rest at home and will per- haps be with a tent effort the rest of the summer. Hope to be back in Union next winter. Mr. and Mrs. Lockert and baby have taken up their new home in Hastings. Mr. Lockert is working in the Tract Society office.

The Educational Messenger � 17 Bible Translation George Kretschmar The translation of the Bible into dialects which are without written language, and which are spoken by a people of such low state of civilization that the actual words of the language are not sufficient to express the truths of the Bible, is a work accompanied by great difficulty, and often to the pioneer in the work of trans- lation by great danger as well. Yet in spite of the difficulties and dangers, this is the work that has been accomplished by the British and American societies in the publishing of the Bible into over four hundred languages and dialects of the world, and the work is still going forward. It is interesting to note the method by which the Bible is trans- lated into a new tongue. Suppose that the Bible Society decides that a new race shall receive the Scriptures. A certain amount of money is set aside, and a man of special ability is chosen. For illustration, suppose that Dr. Smith is appointed to translate the Bible into the dialect of a remote cannibal tribe of Central Africa. He goes to his territory. He does not understand a single word of the strange gibberish that he hears all around him, and his language is equally incomprehensible to the natives. He starts immediately to build a house. The first words that he learns are, "What is this?" "What is that?" and these questions he uses incessantly. With hammer and saw in hand, he makes constant use of his notebook. He is tireless in his search for words, and forever at his task of master- ing unwritten grammar and vocabulary. He makes his assistants repeat words, phrases, and expressions, again and again, and he carefully notes the phonetic equivalents. This work goes on for several years, after which the vocabulary is nearly complete. The doctor is then ready to begin the work of translation. And now with the language mastered, his difficulties apparently begin. The language is often painfully limited. " `Pig,"rat," dog,' exhaust the terms of zoology; no words for.' city," wheat,' 'barley.' Nay, I go lower—numerals up to four only. Five is 'my hand'; six, `my hand and one'; and so on until ten, which is 'both hands.' Then come brown toes up to twenty ; and after that a vague gesture and 'very many'." In many cases words for abstract ideas like "honesty," or "con- 18 � The Educational Messenger science" must absolutely be coined. And in some miserable dialects like that of the Mosquito Indians, the coining of words is almost impossible. In one instance in the Mosquito, "sin" was rendered -saura"—"bad to eat." An interesting incident is recorded of Purdy, who translated the Scriptures into the language of the Eski- moes. He found a great difficulty in the expression, "lamb of God." The Eskimoes had no idea of a lamb. He finally hit upon the plan of the "little seal of God," and let it go at that! Many words exist in these languages, which are very elusive and are obtained only after long and painful search. An instance is related of how, "In Uganda Dr. Crawford waited five years to get the one word 'plague' in the Ki-Mbundu. And one day he overheard an ivory hunter complaining about the village rats—what a `dibebu' they were. And down went the long-sought word in the tattered notebook that would fly out from the ragged coat at such times as though it had ears to hear." The work is not without great dangers. Many of the tribes which have received the Bible are uncivilized and cannibals. A remarkable example of difficulties of this character that have been overcome is that of the translation of the Bible into the Anietyum—the language of certain islands of the cannibal New Hebrides group. The veteran Rev. John Williams and his companion, Mr. Harris, landed at Erro- manga, of the New Hebrides, and fell instantly under the clubs of the savages. Undismayed, the Society tried again, but their men fell victims to cannibal, plague, and fever, and many times were removed in a dying condition. But these men acquired the language and reduced it to writing. Then in small sections the Word of God was translated, and the cannibals were taught to read. This created an intense desire among them to have the whole Bible translated into their own tongue. As a result they zealously assisted Dr. Geddie and Dr. Englis to translate it correctly, and even prepared arrow- root to help pay for the printing and binding. And thus, in spite of difficulty and danger, the work of trans- lation of the Word of God' goes forward. Formerly it took years for men to gain even the elements of culture ; but now, through the agency of Bible translation, nations are being discovered one year and given a literature the next. The Bible is the greatest civilizing agency in the world. In many countries it is the only means of education. From it the natives learn their own language. It is the forerunner of all modern missionary endeavor.

It seems a change not to have to look after edi- torial duties for the summer papers; and to read the Messenger fresh for the fiat time when it is all finished, instead of three or four times beforehand, especially when the work is being done so well. I shall be glad to read the August number. I am enjoying my vacation, living the life and doing the work of any ordinary farmer girl at my home near Loveland, Colo. By the time September comes I shall be anx- ious to get back to Old Union and to friends there again. With best wishes to all the Messenger readers, � Alice Beaird. The editorial duties of which our editor-in-chief speaks, have not been very heavy, thanks to our Messenger friends, who have responded so readily to our call for a message from them. We hope that this number will give as much pleasure to others as it has given us. We have enjoyed this reunion of Unionites, and know 20 � The Educational Messenger that it will be an inspiration to all to return to Union this fall and meet their old friends again. A call from the southland has reduced our summer Messenger staff one, and leaves only three to shoulder the work for the rest of the summer. � Remember this, and help us by sending news or other articles for the September number. It will reach you just before you start for Union, and will be a good companion to take with you on the train. It, with the new student you are going to bring to old Un- ion, will make the trip very pleasant. Help us to make this a good number. Now is the time to be shaping your work and plans so that you will be ready for Union when she opens in September. You should be here the first day, and stay with her the whole year. We know all old students will be here if such a thing is possible, and we hope for a goodly number of new students. � A year at Union will be of great value to you. Our Attitude What ought to be our attitude toward a paper and its circula- tion of which thousands say, "It's the best I ever saw"; "It contains just what the people ought to know, and presents it in a way anyone can understand it"; "It revolutionizes communities, changes homes of strife and poverty into homes of peace and prosperity, and reforms individuals"?. That paper is the Instructor Temperance Annual. It is the most popular paper among all classes of any of our publications. A Fift9-Year Test Brother J. Warren Wright, of Detroit, Mich., in renewing his Review subscription, makes the following statement : "For more than fifty years I have read the Review—read it when the Testimonies, the Review, and a few tracts and pamphlets com- prised about all of our denominational literature. These, with our Bible and hymn books, were prized above temporal necessities, and the Review should now be the first of our periodicals in every S. D. A. household, and the last to be dispensed with. God bless the dear old Review, and He does, and none can afford to forego that blessing."
