I ur � auk gibing Prayer 7.t UR Father, God, thou who art the Creator of the heavens and the earth, who hath measured the waters in the hollow of thy hand and weighed the hills in a balance, to thee we bow in humble submission. We especially thank thee at this time for the manifold bounties thou hast provided and again our faith is strengthened as we remember thy promise, "Seedtime and harvest shall not fail." And we feel that it is only fitting that we as subjects of thine should render to thee the thanks that is thy due. We beseech thee, our Father, that thou wouldg ever keep us thank- ful and always obedient to thy jug requirements. Teach us to love thee as we have never loved thee before, teach us to serve thee as never in the paR. Help us to respond to thy great calling to consecrated serviceableness for mankind. Help us in this hour of crisis to perform nobly every Christian duty in whatever station Thou dog lead. We pray not for ease and comfort but to be armed with the power of right, and in the great clash of principles may we discharge our duty without revenge, without hatred. Give us no peace except that which comes from the consciousness of having done our duty well. As a nation we pray that thou wouldg direct us in the path of rectitude. May every selfish motive come to naught, and every Christian principle upon which this nation is founded be magnified in the eyes of all the world. May it be ours to triumph in the cause of right and may we be instrumental in saving mankind from the power of darkness. Help us as we bare our arm in the name of liberty that we may be worthy of the cause for which we contend. We plead, 0 Father, that thou wouldg be near to those whose lines are cast amidst the Storms of sea and the distress of battle, whose hearts yearn often for the peace of home. May the uncertainty of their lives strengthen their faith in thee and may they hear above the roar of battle thy gill small voice. Nor would we forget the tears of sorrowing fathers and mothers. Solace them in the moment of parting and comfort them in their lonely hours. Bless every institution and every undertaking that would be for the extension of thy work in the earth. May thy cause prosper in all lands until the light of the glorious gospel of peace shall reach every heart. To this end may we labor on till thou shalt come whose right it is to rule, for "Thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen." matenslingfitswitele ingognintainla 6 "Let Halverson Show You" •NI � •El � IOW � IOW mor ARMSTRONG'S "Quality is Economy" THANKSGIVING TIME is a Time to be Thankful Cold Weather is the time for Overcoats .• • You'll find Plenty from which to choose spa Come to Armstrong's THE EDUCA TIONAL MESSENGER Copyright hart Schaffner & Marx ARMSTRONG'S GOOD CLOTHES MERCHANTS Eburational filmrttgrr VOL.

The crazed tumult of the day had subsided, the bloody assaults had ceased, the deafening roar of the enemies' artillery had died away in the distance! The "boys in uniform" had long been prostrate in heavy slumber and already the pale November moon was sending its sick rays to penetrate the thick clouds of smoke and dugt in order to brighten the brave wan faces of many home-sick laddies. The day had been a hard one and all were dead in sleep,---all save one, who had other thots than those of rest. How could he rest when the memories of the New Hampshire wife and baby girl haunted him this night? "Tomorrow is Thanksgiving," he said, and then he straightened his aching back againg the cold damp trench wall and sobbed. His heart was almost bitter as he compared the "what might have been" to the "what was" of the awful reality he was experi- encing. He tried to be thankful but could think of nothing except the meagre and galling consolation that there were hundreds of unfortunate comrades whose dream- land thots were also far across the sea this night. The loneliness somewhat left him and he fell asleep. Ned Jackson was not a timid girlish Yankee but he had come from the quiet hills of northern New England. He loved his wife and child. He hated the noise of the firing line and tonight the cries of the wounded had lingered long in his throbbing ears. "How can I thank God for all this ungodliness, this crime!" he had said. "0 to be at home in gray New England just for tomorrow," was the thot of his weary mind as he sat, a disconsolate figure in the trench dugout of France, his dark shaggy hair disheveled and his usually piercing eyes lost in dreams of his native country, the U. S. A. The following morning was not different from other mornings. One would have thot that in balmy France no special day was needed for giving thanks to God. The ordinary routine was followed out. A hurried breakfast, a muttered form of worship issued from thankless hearts, a call to bugle, then artillery duels, French raids and counterattacks on recently occupied positions. At noon they attacked along a six mile front, advancing at some points two-thirds of a mile and all afternoon the charging was continued on the German lines. It was only when the shades of twi- light were beginning to mantle the light of day that our soldier Ned had time to sink again into reflection. Gray had been the day and heavy had been his heart. And now as the day was over he crouched down before his unappetizing mess supper. No light, no warmth. How he yearned for the spotless kitchen table now spread at home and THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER the crackling log fire there in far-off New England. He was really there. He could see the smile of his cheery little wife and he could hear the prattle of his baby as he held her on his knee. On and on he dreamed with his supper untasted be- fore him. Suddenly he was awakened by the tap of a gentle hand on his shoulder and a tender voice saying something. He jumped-- could it be, was it really that fair object of his New England dreams? He stared through the deepening shadows into the upturned face of his supposed Mary, knocking over his mess kettle in his excitement and semi-consciousness. This awakened him and he recognized in the soft tender face peering out from beneath her dark bonnet the face of one of the many little French god mothers. She was bending near him and again repeating, "Bon Soir, Monsieur! Avez-vous bien dormi. Veuillez bien accepter ce souvenir." And she vanished in the gathering darkness. Ned slowly raised the little box to his eyes, and inspected it sadly saying, "A box of good wishes, indeed! Well it is kind of her anyway. These little sorrow- ful French god mothers! It is good that she has taken a liking to me --I wonder if she's happier for it?" A faint new light was dawning in his glistening eyes. He unwrapped the homely little box and read the words beneath the cover. In Engfsh they read like this:---"I hope your Thanksgiving Day has been a happy one. I have done what I could to make it so. May God bless you and keep you from danger and take you back to fair New England, to distant New England to spend your next Thanks- giving. Farewell, sir!" Ned drew from his dirty pockets with his cold bent mhfd fingers, a soiled red handkerchief and wiped his streaming eyes. His heart was too full to taste the white lumps of candy in the box or to think of drawing the c,:mfortdble felt gloves over his purple fingers. He was thinking---yes, thinking hard ith a new deter- mination and a new hope in his heart. All ivs selfishness ,rued up before him and he slowly turned round and handed some of the sw= to a I r Fly figure who sat next to him in the dugout with a br n "Happy Than � u tr) you, comrade." 6 � THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER 3ntrobuction .into Camp life W. F. HAHN Camp Fungon is the largest school in the United States. Its fifty thousand men have been drawn from seven States: Nebraska, South Dakota, Missouri, New Mexico, Colorado Arizona, and Kansas. When a troop train pulls into camp. the coach windows are alive with peering heads and waving arms. Upon listening a moment one is reminded of a 4th of July ball game. The men detrain. The yelling mob has become a mass of wandering men. "Form into lines." The men are obeying their first military command. The "Greens", for so they are named by the men who have been in camp for a few days, are led by an officer to a shed in which are several chutes, one for each state. They enter their respective chutes. The men from each county are taken by groups to the proper location. Upon reaching their barracks, they are taken to the latrine and initiated into army-life, not by being made to "ride the goat," but with a cold shower bath. On cold, frosty mornings the water is heated somewhat by yells, and an occasional curse from the bathers. Now they must bid farewell to the last reminder of home—their civilian clothes. The men come out dressed in uniforms, overalls and jumper. "We're in the army now," from some fertile brain causes a smile to ease the sober faces. The men are now ready for the daily program which runs as follows: lA call to Reveille � 5:45 a. m. Reveille � 5:55 Assembly � 6:00 Mess � 6:15 Sick call � 6:45 1 A call 1st period instruction �7:10 Recall from 1st period instudion � 11:45 Mess � 12:00 1st call p. m. instruction � 12:55 p. m. Recall from instruction � 4:30 Retreat � 5:20 Mess � 6:00 Tattoo � 9:15 Call to Quarters � 9:30 Taps � 9:45 The moment the lights are turned on, blankets fly and the men are on their feet, for in ten minutes they must be properly dressed and in correct formation in front of the barracks. Perchance someone should choose to "snooze" a little longer THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER � 7 and be late to Reveille, to the "blessing" which he would receive only a soldier would have the courage to answer, "Yes Sir." The morning mess consists of breakfast food, condensed milk, bacon, biscuits, syrup, and coffee, or a similar ration. Morning and afternoon instruction are quite similar. The first half is spent in regular military drilling; the later half in physical culture and various games such as foot-ball, racing and basket-ball. Before the first day is past every man is familiar with the meaning of company attention, rightdress, left face, squads right, and similar orders. That every man shall be an athelete is Uncle Sam's ambition for his army. No means are spared in developing the physique; getting "hardboiled" is used by the officers to express the idea. A keen appetite is inevitable. The men make one grand rush for dinner. By the way "cafeteria" is an old story to every soldier. Potatoes, beef, tomatoes, sauce, bread, (not hard tack, but bread almost like mother makes) and tea, would make a sample menu. Uncle Sam believes in "feeding for results." If at first you don't get enough; go, go, again. The time between supper and 9:30 is open. On the first evening the men are sitting on their bunks, bending over their knees and writing for dear life—it is the first letter home. Every man is in bed and the lights turned out at 9:30. Perchance there is a lad whose "tongue has no Sunday",---a stern voice, in a manner similar to this, re- minds him that it is time to sleep: "Shut up over there or you'll get up and stand at attention for an hour." No feet need then to patter about to see if all is quiet. A week has passed. The tension has worn off. Men have learned that the commands, tho Stern, are kind in spirit. A settled feeling gradually comes over the men and they begin to feel somewhat at home and to enjoy life. The Army Y. M. C. A.'s, of which there are twelve in the camp, seek to up- hold the morals of the men. Religious services, lectures, musicals, and the like are provided. The Y's in facq are a "big brother" to the boys. As for the noncombatants, they are gradually being sifted and organized into a separate company. Instead of drill these men work on trucks in connection with the Sanitary Department. At present there are one hundred forty men in this corn- pany. Although about eight or ten different religions are represented, yet the associa- tion is, on the whole, very pleasant. � Dept. of Sanitation B'ld'g 527 Camp FunSton, Kansas. 10 � THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER true. I once wrote an essay describing some of the consequences of this supposed fad, supposing also that it were possible to descend to great depths. � The essay was original all right but I doubt if it will add anything permanent to literature. There are few places where originality is more welcome or its opposite more cooly received than at college. Let a man get up and preach a sermon we are sure to find by looking up his references in Clarke's commentaries, or a lecture advo- cating certain time worn ideas from the pages of Samuel Smiles, and he will find himself confronted with a chapel full of rustling books, but let him bring out some- thing fresh and newly organized and a burst of applause will greet his effort. H. G. A. The Union College Current History Club met for the first time Odaober 27, having been organized October 13. � Only College History students were admit- ted, on account of shortage of room for others in the history room. Mr. H. A. Johnston was elected as president of this club, with Mr. Albert Werline as vice- president. Miss Loomis is secretary and Mr. Ralph Reed, sargeant-at-arms. A program committee was elected, composed of the president, Mr. I. V. Counsel', Miss Doege and Professor Andrews as advisor. Each member is expected to take part once during the year, without proteit. It is Professor Andrews' aim to get some of the State University men to speak oc- casionally. At present, the membership, aside from the officers, is fifty. � The two programs given have been both interesting and educational. It is in the long ago. In the far eastern land the evening air is balmy, and soft, and sweet-smelling. The little blue strips of smoke that rise curlingly heaven- ward over the surrounding country, tell of tent lodgings, and satisfied flocks. Down the dusty road that leads frcm the lazy sleepy little village of Philippi goes a lad leading a heavily laden donkey. He looks back, and as the lights appear one by one, his eyes seek out the house of Lydia, from whence he has so recently been dispatched' with the blessings of his friends. As he leaves these lights behind and it grows darker and darker, and the bees lift themselves heavily from the large blossoms and sail away homeward, a little flush of lonesomeness passes thru Epaphroditus' heart, for the journey is long and he is only a boy. Many mornings and evenings have passed. The Apostle Paul, having become tired of the noise and Strain of Rome, walks out upon the country paths that lead from the city, to meditate upon a recent talk with a wayward man. As he passes along thru the evening which is early night, his mind draws in recollections of the church at Philippi, and a happy smile crosses his face. His lips move as he thanks God for their friendship and their love. THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER � 11 Coming out upon the main road leading into Rome from the east, he sees far up the hill the long dark shadow of a traveler leading a pack mule. As they draw nearer to each other, he thinks of some friendly greeting to pass with the stranger; but the words stop at his lips, for the white rays of the moonlight reveal the tired face of the boy Epaphroditus. Joy is manifest in every word that passes between them, and when the lad tells Paul of the gifts of the fruits of their fields sent to him by the church at Philippi, he says, "I will give thanks unto my God." Is there then but one Thanksgiving day? Can the Christian say with every true American that Thanksgiving Day comes but once a year, and that only since the discovery of America? We have records of certain thanksgiving days, ever since the creation of the world. Perhaps in most. cases these times were not repeated according to date, but they singly and in them- selves meant more then than our festal day does now. The Bounteous Father, the immediate Author of all Thanksgiving days, gives cause for many of them to come in during the space of a year. They are brot about in special cases, at special times and to the individual as he is in need. May the Father above remember those who are needy in body and spirit on this our day of Thanksgiving, and rejoice with his Pauls and Epaphrodites of this the New World. � L. M. L. THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER rinciptefs of Cbutation RILLA ARCHIBALD "True education is the harmonious development of the physical, the mental and the spiritual powers. It prepares the Student for the joy of service in this world, and for the higher joy of wider service in the world to come." Christ is the light of the world and in him are hid all the treasures of wisdom. Even the world's greatest thinkers are mere reflectors of that light which was before them. It is in the knowledge of God, that all true knowledge and real development have their source for whatever line of investigation we pursue, with a sincere desire to arrive at truth we are brought in touch with the unseen. It is in this communion with God that the highest education is found. It is God's method of development. Love, the basis of creation and of redemption is the basis of true education. Love is the ful- filling of the law. S.nce Gad is the source of all knowledge, it is the first and most imaartant object of education to direct the minds to him. As every human be- ing has the power of individuality--that is the power to think and act independently-- it is the work of true education to develop this power, thus training the youth to be thinkers and not mere reflectors of other men's thoughts. In the original plan of God as carried out in Eden, the garden was the school- room, nature the lesson-book, the Creator, Himself, the instructor and the parents of the human family, the students. God created man perfect, but with the power of choice, the power to obey or to disobey. Man in his perfect glate was to take na- ture as a lesson-book and altho the earth was blighted with a curse, nature was still to be man's lesson-book. "The light of the knowledge of the glory of God" is revealed in the face of Jesus Christ. Christ is the light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world. This is not only true of intellectual but also of spiritual power. Therefore cooper- ation with Christ should be the highest aim of education. The family school was originally God's plan of education. When the chil- dren of Israel were taken out of Egypt, the whole nation was in need of education. They were taught faith and dependence upon God by the many trials and hard- ships they were called upon to endure. God revealed his glorious ideal of charac- ter for them in the sanctuary they were required to make. By following out the plans of God they were taught a knowledge of God, of organization, civil govern- ment, proper diet, industrial labor and sanitation. When the family school failed in its duty, the schools of the prophets were es- tablished to meet the demand. They were carried on by men and women of God, and served as a barrier to the heathen influence that was surrounding the people of God. The youth were taught the Hebrew writings, sacred history, sacred music, THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER � 13 poetry, law of God, manual labor, etc., and were in this way taught to be workers for God. ebrigtian Cbutation V. P. LOVELL E ARE continually meeting the question, "Why all this education; why do not our youth take a year or possibly two years of Bible, and then go immediately into the work?" To this I would say that never be- fore was there so much at stake, never were the results so much de- pending upon a generation of youth as on those that are coming upon the stage of action just now. The youth are being called upon to bear the burdens that the older workers are laying down. Thus they are obliged to take the work of God's cause at the present stage of perfection and continue its progress toward the high ideal of perfec- tion as mapped out by the Great Architect. Now does it need special preparation to do this? There can be no doubt, but that time and progress have been lost in not giving to our workers adequate preparation. In the past our field of labor has been confined principally to the more common classes of people. But the time has dawned upon us when we must reach the more wealthy and influential strata of society that the cause of Christ may have their means and their influence to help give the message its last great triumph. You remember the Master said, "Go out into the highways" as well as the "byways." Now how can we do this unless our workers have the proper culture and train- ing to mingle with the higher classes? I think the example of the apostle Paul so well illustrates the advantage and need of a thorough preparation of body, mind, and heart. And then, too, as we think of the advanced age in which we live, do not our times more truly demand those who are able to meet and cope with the master minds we have on every hand today? God wants his people to be the head and not the tail in any respect. Years ago the instruction came from God's servant, "Educate, educate, edu- cate". And to this she adds, "Today he is calling for young men and women who are strong and active in mind and body, but they must have the needed preparation. Those who are uneducated, untrained, and unrefined are not prepared to enter a field in which the powerful influence of talent and education combat the truths of God's word. Neither can they successfully meet the strange forms of error, relig- ious and philosophical combined, to expose which, requires a knowledge of scienti- fic as well as scriptural truth." To this end it was according to God's great plan that colleges were established among our people, as a means of educating young men and women for the various departments of our work. *natty Nrand QIlatllee 14 � THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER Students!

They are in three groups now. The Hospital Bands are carrying papers and cards to the inmates of the State Orthopedic Hospital and while moil of their efforts are with the children there in visits, yet they do considerable work of some kinds in the Nebraska Sanitarium. Miss Elsie Gibbs has charge of this band. Miss Wernli has charge of Cottage Meeting Bands and while visiting and cheering up shut-ins in College View, they plan to extend their work in helping to visit those interested in the truth in nearby towns where efforts are being held. The Correspondence Band under Miss Lola Garrett's direction has begun its efforts to disseminate literature throughout this territory and carrying on correspondence with these. If as much good is done as has been our pail experience, great good will be accomplished by this band. From a private letter to Mr. and Mrs. Earl Rosenbach we glean the following: "This coming December we will have been in India three years. It doesn't seem long. We love India and her people. We have passed our first two years Urdu examination and are studying for the third. It takes lots of study to get a language well. "India's need is surely great. The Hindus and Mohammedans will do anything in the name of religion. At a certain time of year the Hindus go on pilgrimages. They will walk hundreds of miles to get water from the Ganges River which is sa- cred to them. There are lots of religious beggars in India, called "fogirs." They don't do any work. Perhaps you have read of the "burning ghats." The Hindus burn their dead. When we were in Benares, the great Hindu center of India, we saw them burning the bodies. First they have the body tied onto poles, then they put the feet, or perhaps body up to the waist in water in the Ganges River. Af- ter that the body is placed on a pile of wood. Then the relatives (men) with a grass torch march around the body three times, and the third time they light the torch and then the head of the body. The ashes are thrown into the Ganges. "With best wishes. � Mr. and Mrs. Blue." THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER � 17 Work in tbe gaining Cantp5 There is a splendid field of usefulness for "our boys" at the training camp, but the work is somewhat different from what most of us have conceived it to be. It has been all along that the ben of Chrinian books, magazines, and papers could be sent to the training camps and placed in some library or other public place where the soldiers in general could have access to them. True religious books of any denom- ination will be received by the American Library Association, which association re- ceives and supplies much of the reading matter for the training camps. But the im- mediate organization for setting religious literature before the soldiers is the Y. M. C. A., and it has felt obliged in many instances to reject all matter which in any way promulgates the peculiar views of any denomination, this course having been adopted because of the tons of denominational literature which is constantly being received. However, publications of high, spiritual value, setting forth no peculiar, denominational teachings are gladly received by the Y. M. C. A. Doubtless this arrangement will curtail much missionary propaganda. At the same time there is in the camps an opportunity for devout defenders of any particular religious views to circulate special reading matter among their acquaintances and by this means cast a positive influence in their own direction. The task, then, of influencing the multitudes in training by means of literature—which is one of the most efficient means— in the interest of any particular church must depend almost solely upon the loyalty and faithfulness of the truth-loving Christians in the camps. Our boys have thus a wide sphere of action and should be entitled to the hearty cooperation of all Adventist young people with- out the camps. � J.

Guests who were present at an entertainment given in the South Hall dining room on the evening of Nov. 3, are quite agreed that South Hall can be a charm- ing hostess. Past successes were forgotten and pag failures forgiven, as the numbers of an interesting program aroused and maintained the interest. The dining room possessed jug enough Hallowe'en sentiment by reason of its decorations, to harmonize nicely with the song rendered by the male quartette, "The Goblins '11 Get You if You Don't Watch Out." Other selections, musical and oratorical, furnished a fitting prelude to the lively refrain which followed. The subject of an extemporaneous debate proved to be a decidedly personal issue as the affirmative delayed that the door of the students' parlor should be rehung But the negative was confimed by the judges in its emphatic approval of the action' taken in removing the door. Contests were next carried on, the three halls competing. The astounding speed with which the masculine gender can devour apples and candy, to say nothing of dry toast, is a marvel even to members of their own sex. There was close play- ing for a time, but finally Cagle scored a victory and carried off the prize,—a half bushel of apples. A mischievous wink from the lights signalled the lateness of the hour, and guests departed agreeing quite unanimously, "South Hall did shine tonight."
