her work.  	After 	her introduction  	to

Dean A. W. Johnson, Miss Bell told  
of having received calls to come here  
under the administrations of Leo Thiel,  
P. L. Thompson, and M. L. Andrea-

Miss Bell has had extensive expert-

course preparing  
them to labor in the German language.  
There is a large number of young people of German par-  
entage who will not use the German language as their principal  
means of expression, but who will use almost exclusively the  
English language.  	 They, however, are somewhat acquainted  
with German, and wish to improve in the use of their mother  
tongue. These will find abundant opportunity at Union College 
to get their principal education in English and also to take some  
German classes that will facilitate their use of  	the  	German  
Many of our workers find that although they speak in Eng-  
lish in a public effort, much visiting needs to be done where the  
German language will gain access to hearts that would remain  
closed to an American. It is a mistake for those who possess or  
who can easily acquire the use of a foreign language to neglect  L  	.  
11    t eir opportunities. They may not intend to labor exclusively in  
a foreign tongue, but they will find their ready use of it a won-  
derful  means of opening e nd  touching hearts.  	While  some will  
come ence  to  do their work principally in the German language,  
others will  wish to use the English and yet get a working  
knowledge  of the German. We welcome both these classes  
Once more let me say that we bid all these a most heart  Y  
welcome  to dear old Union, and will do what we can to make  
successful  their efforts to prepare themselves for efficient service.

The 	 Union 	 college 	 orchestra,  	di-  
rected 	 by  	 Prof. .C.  	 C.  	 Engel, 	was .  
heard Saturday night, January 20, in  
a program which included Schubert's  
"B-Minor  	 Symphony"  	 and 	 lesser  
works by  	Strauss, 	 Brahms, 	 Mozart,  
and Elgar.  
The 	 "B-Minor Symphony," more  
commonly known as Schubert's un-  
finished symphony, consists of but two  
movements. 	 The "allegro moderato"  
seems to express the struggle of a soul  
in its fight with the weaknesses and  
follies of life.  	 In the melodious "an-  
dante con moto" we experience the  
peace which follows victory and which  
finds  	its  	 expression  	in  	 ever-moving  
energy.  
Particularly  	attractive  	to  	the  	audi-  
were the waltzes of Strauss, "The  
Beautiful Blue Danube" and "Roses  
From the South." In the former, Mrs.  
Stanley Ledington sang the solo part.

Der praktische Wert  
des Deutschstudiums  
von Arthur M. Hanhardt  
Die deutsche Sprache ist heute eine der wichtigsten  
Weltsprachen. Schon rein zahlenmaszig steht sie unter  
den neuren Kultursprachen sehr hoch. In Europa wird  
Deutsch von rund 75 Millionen Menschen als Mutter- 
sprache gesprochen, Englisch dagegen von 45 Millionen,  
Franzosisch von 41 Millionen, Italienisch von 38 Million- 
en und Spanisch von 25 Millionen.  
Aus praktischen Griinden 1st es von Nutzen sich  
Kenntnisse der deutschen Sprache anzueignen, denn  
in der Neuzeit 1st sic auf jedem Gebiet crer Wissen- 
schaft besonders wichtig geworden. Den Beweis bier- 
fur erhalt man ohne Weiteres, wcnn man eine Universi- 
tatsbibliothek betritt und dort unter den Fachzeitschrif-
ten nachsieht, wie viele deutschsprachige Schriften auf  
dem Gebiet der Chemie, Physik, Mathematik, Sprach- 
wissenschaft, Litcraturgeschichte, Staatswissenschaft,  
Volkswirtschaft, Medizin u.s.w. zu linden sind. Auf  
manchen Gebieten der Naturwissenschaft sind sogar die  
deutschen Zeitschriften in der Mehrzahl. Der deutsche  
Wissenschaftler ist nicht nur Forscher, sondern er 1st  
auch in seinem Fach ein schatzbarer Schriftsteller.  
In der allgemeinen Ausbildung des amerlkanischen  
Studenten ist die deutsche Sprache wertvoll. Deutsch  
1st eine alte, einheimische Sprache, die nicht etwa dem  
Volk von fremden Eroberern auferlegt worden 1st, sondern  
die sich auf deutschem Grund und Boden entwickelt hat.  
Daher hat sie auch eine ganz eigene Ausdrucksform und  
Art der Wortbildung im Gegensatz zu den anderen  
westeuropaischen Sprachen, die sich aus dem Latein- 
ischcn entwickelt haben oder stark davon beeinfiuszt  
worden sind. Aber gerade diese Eigenarten des Deut- 
schen sind fur Englischsprechende bildungsreich wenn  
auch etwas schwierig.  
Obwohl die deutsche Sprache alt 1st, hat sich die  
Literatur im Vergleich zu anderen Sprachen spat ent- 
wickelt, denn sic hatte ihre grosze Bliitezeit der Klassik  
erst Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts. Durch diese Ver- 
spatung gewannen die deutschen Klassiker in ihren  
Werken an Frische und Neuzeitlichkeit, und sic konn- 
ten einen Gewinn aus den Erfahrungen anderer Nation- 
en ziehen. Dies verbunden mit der deutschen Eigenheit 
ergibt eine lehrreiche und reichhaltige Literatur, der  
sich eine bedeutende Musik anschlieszt.  
(Fortsetzung auf Seife 2)  

von W. B. Ochs  
Nachdem die Deutsche Abteilung fur die Ausbildung  
unsrer Evangeliumsarbeiter fast 24 Jahre lang von Union  
College getrennt war, wurde der Beschlusz gefaszt, sic  
wieder mit dieser Schule zu verbinden.  
Im Jahre 1910 wurde diese Abteilung von Union Col- 
lege nach Clinton, Missouri, verlegt, wo das Deutsche  
Seminar gegrundet wurde, das der deutschen Jugend in  
Amerika als Mittelpunkt  des  Erziehungswesens dienen  
sate. Dieses Seminar leistete erfolgreiche Arbeit.  
Viele junge Leute erhielten an dieser Static ihre Ausbil- 
dung und gingen dann als Missionare ins Ausland oder  
wurden Arbeiter fur den Herrn in der Heimat.  
Wahrend des fiinfzehnjahrigen Bcstehcns dieser Bil- 
dungsanstalt war die Schulerzahl durchschnittlich 145, 
davon waren 25 bis 30 Studenten im College. Die Ver- 
haltnisse im Erziehungswesen haben sich allmahlich ver- 
andert and staatliche Anerkennung war erforderlich. Eine  
unter andcren Bedingungen dafur war die, dasz auf einem  
College eine Mindestzahl von hundert Studenten sein  
sollte. Dies war am Seminar unmoglich.  
Im Jahre 1925 beschlosz die Generalkonferenz, die  
Deutsche Abteilung nach Broadview College zu ver- 
legen, wo zu der Zeit mehrere fremdsprachige Abtei- 
lungen eingerichtet waren. Diese Schule bot den Schulern  
auch Gelegenheit, einen Teil der Schulunkosten durch  
Arbon selbst zu verdienen. Im Laufe der Zeit machte  
sich die Depression bemerkbar. In der Herbstberatung  
der Generalkonferenz vor zwei Jahren wurden viele  
Vorschlage betreffs der Zusammenlegung verschiedener  
Konfcrenzen gemacht, urn dadurch zu sparen. .Broadview  
College wurde seiner Zeit von 16 auf  	 Grade herab-  
gesetzt. Im Dezember 1933 wurde ein Komitee ernannt,  
welche s   die allgerneinen Aussichten fur Broadview  be- 
sprach und vorschlug, aus Broadview College eine  
Akademie fur Illinois zu machen. Die Deutsche Ab- 
teilung sollte nach diesem Vorschlag nach Union College  
verlegt werden. Das Komitee der Gencralkonferenz hat  
den Vorschlag angenommen.  
(Fortsetzung auf Seite 2)  

By W. B.  OCHS  
After a sojourn in other localities for nearly twenty- 
four years, the German department has decided to return  
to Union college, its original home.  
In 1910 this department was transferred from Union  
college to Clinton, Missouri, where the Clinton Theo- 
logical seminary was established to serve as an educa- 
tional center for the German young people. Splendid  
work was done by the school. Scores of young people  
received their education at Clinton and went forth as  
missionaries to different parts of the world or as work- 
ers in the homeland.  
The average enrolment for the fifteen years at Clinton  
was one hundred forty-five, only about twenty-five or  
thirty of whom were in the college grates. With the  
change of educational standards and the need of accred- 
iting, it was impossible for the school to get recognition,  
for among other things an enrolment of one hundred  
students in the college department was required for this.  
In 1925 the General conference voted that the German  
department should be transferred to Broadview college,  
a school then of many languages and a place where  
students could work part of their way through school.  
As time went on we were faced with the depression and  
its results. At the Autumn council two years ago many  
recommendations were made asking conferences to unite  
in order to reduce operation expenses. Broadview college  
at that time was reduced to a fourteen grade school. In  
December of 1933 the commission appointed to study the  
future of Broadview recommended that Broadview be- 
come the academy for the Illinois conference. Further- 
more it was recommended by this commission that the  
German department be transferred to Union college.  
This recommendation was favorably adopted and passed  
by the General Conference committee.  
Prof. M. H. Schuster, who has been head of the Ger- 
man Bible work at Broadview the last four years, has  
been asked to unite with Union college in a similar  
capacity. I am sure that our German believers in the

Anforderungen u. Ziel  
des Theologiekursus  
von M. H.  SCHUSTER  
Fur das deutsche Werk in Nordamerika sind gut aus- 
gebildete Evangeliumsarbeiter unerlaszlich. Urn diesem  
Bedarf nachzukommen, bietet die Deutsche. Theologie- 
Abteilung, die von jetzt an wieder an Union College  
sein wird, einen vollstandigen College-Kursus.  
Dieser Kursus fur deutsche Arbeiter wird daher in  
seinen Anforderungen dem  Theological Bachelor of Arts  
Course  gleich sein, und der Bibelunterricht, der in deutsch- 
er Sprache abgehalten wird, soil diesem auch entsprechen.  
Ebenso wird dieser deutsche Lehrgang andere Klassen  
des College-Lehrplans einschlieszen, z. B. Klassen auf  
dem Gebiet der deutschen Sprache, Geschichte und Kul- 
tur, und eine Anzahl Wahlfacher, aus denen der Student 
mit seinem Berater die Facher aussuchen kann, die er  
braucht oder die er vorzieht.  
Die Deutsche Theologie-Abteilung wird von Studen- 
ten, die diesen Kursus beenden wollen, ein Minimum von  
30 Semester-Stunden in Bibel and Religion und' 20 Sem- 
ester-Stunden in Deutsch erfordern. Die Sprachfacher  
umfassen deutsche Grammatik, Rhetorik, Literatur und  
wenn moglIch die Geschichte der deutschen Reformation.  
Ein Kandidat fur das Prcdigtamt wird nur dann eine  
Empfehlung fur Anstellung in diner Konferenz erhaltcn,  
wenn er den Minimalanforderungen in Bibel und Sprach- 
lehre nachkonunt.  
Jeder, der diesen Kursus belegen mochte, sollte deutsch  
sprechen, lesen und schreiben konnen, weil viele der  
obenerwahnten Klassen in deutscher Sprache abgehalten  
werden, und auch cin groszer Teil der Bucher, die man  
lesen wird, deutsch sein werden.  
Diejenigen, welche den Deutschcn Theologie-Kursus  
beendigen, werden den  Bachelor of Arts  in  Theology  
(A. B. Th.)  erhalten.  
Hilfreiche Einrichtungen werden folgende sein: eine  
deutsche Sabbatschule, die in einem geeigneten Ver- 
sammlungsraum abgehalten werden wird, ein deutsches  
Seminar und andere dienliche and niitzlichc Organisa- 
tionen, die zur Vervollkommnung dienen sollen.  
Tratzdem es lange daucrte bis dicse Abteilung von  
Clinton wieder nach Union College zuriickverlegt wurde,  
wird gerade dieser Verzug und die folgliche herzliche  
Bewillkornmnung von der alten  Alma Mater — Union  
College — so Gott will ein Vorzeichen sein fiir eine  
freudige Wiedervereinigung und eine gedeihliche

German Department Comes Home  
General Conference Decides to Locate German School of  
Theology at Union College after Twenty-four Years  
of Visiting at Clinton, Missouri, and Broadview


German Department Returns to Union  
(Fortsetzung von Scitc 1)  
'Professor M. H. Schuster, der seit vier Jahren Leiter  
der Deutschen Theologie-Abteilung an Broadview Col- 
lege gewesen ist, wurde gebeten, dieselbe Stellung an  
Union College einzunehmen. Ich bin aberzeugt, dasz  
die dcutschen Adventisten in Nordamerika die General- 
konferenz in dem Vorhaben, die Abteilung wieder nach  
Union College zu bringen, unterstiitzen werden.  
Durch dicse Veranderung erhalt die Deutsche Abtei- 
lung viele Vorzuge, wovon ich drei kurz erwahnen  
mochte:  
1. Union College ist eins der altesten und besten Col- 
leges in unsrer Gemeinschaft und ist von der Staats- 
Universitat von Nebraska, sowie von dem Staate Nebras- 
ka als  senior-college  anerkannt. Durch diese Aner- 
kennung erlangt Union College ferner Anerkennung in  
der Mehrzahl der Vereinigten Staatcn, worin fast alle  
Staaten des Mittelwestens und auch Canada einge- 
schlossen sind.  
Unsere Studenten, die sich fur das Werk des  
Herrn vorbereiten, sollten nicht zufrieden sein, bis sic  
das Studium am College abgeschlossen haben. In Broad- 
view konnte man nur zwci Jahre in der College-Ab- 
teilung studieren. Die weitcren zwci Jahre muszte  
man 'anderswo verbringen. Jctzt kann jeder vier Jahre  
lang an Union College stuciieren und south den College-
Kursus beenden.  
In Bezug auf die deutschstammigcn Einwohncr  
Amerikas hat Union College eine gtinstige Lage. In  
der groszen Central-Union sind die moisten dcutschen  
Gemeinden. Union College liegt nicht weit vom Mittel- 
punkt Amerikas.  
Ich wende mich an die deutschen Adventisten Nord- 
amerikas mit der Bitte, Union College zu unterstiitzen,  
indem sic ihre jungen Leute, die fur das Studium am  
College in Frage kommen, dorthin schicken. Diese  
Schule bietet ihnen eine Ausbildung, die es ermoglichen  
sollte, die deutsche und die englische Sprache gleich  
gut zu beherrschen. Eins dinfen wir nicht vergessen:  
in diesem Lande gibt es hunderttausende deutsch- 
sprechende Leute, die wir viel leichter in ihrer Mutter- 
sprache erreichen 'carmen. Wahrcnd des Weltkrieges  
wurde das Studium der deutschen Sprache sehr einge- 
schrankt; aber die Vorurteile gegen die deutsche Sprache  
schwindcn und sic kommt wieder zu Ehren.  
Wenn ich sage, dasz die Deutsche Abteilung an Union  
College herzlich empfangen wird, so bin ich lair sicher,  
in der Gesinnung der Schulbehorde von Union College  
und aller Mitglieder der Fakultat zu sprechen. Mit  
Gottes Hilfe werden wir alles versuchcn, eine aus- 
reichende Studentenzahl fur die Deutsche Abteilung zu  
beschaffen, urn dadurch diesel Unternehmen in der Ver- 
breitung der Botschaft des Herrn leistungsfahig   zu  
machen.   

(Continued from page  1)  
North American division will support the action of the  
General conference transferring the department to Union.  
There are many educational advantages to be gained  
by this transfer. I wish to mention three, just briefly.  
Union College is one of the oldest and strongest  
colleges in the denomination. It is accredited today as a  
senior college by the Nebraska university and by the 
state of Nebraska. This recognition gives the school  
accreditation in a majority of the states in America,  
including practically all Mid-Western states and Canada.  
Our students who arc preparing themselves for the  
work of the Lord should not be satisfied with anything  
less than a college education. At Broadview they  
were offered but two years. The last two years of  
college work they were compelled to get elsewhere.  
Through this transfer they may remain at Union College  
four years, thus finishing their college work at the  
same place.  
Union College has an ideal location as far as the  
German population is concerned. The large Central  
Union has most of our German churches. It is not far  
from the heart of America.  
I appeal to all of our German believers in the North  
American Division to support Union College by send- 
ing their young people of college grade to this school,  
where an education is afforded which should enable  
them to use the German and English languages equally  
well. We must not forget that there are hundreds of  
thousands of German-speaking people in this country  
who can be reached more easily in their mother tongue.  
The study of the German language was severely dis- 
couraged at the time of the World War, but this pre- 
judice is dissipating, and German is coming into its own.  
I am sure that I express the sentiment of the Union  
College board and members of the faculty when I say  
that the German department will receive a hearty wel- 
come at Union College. By the help of the Lord we will  
do all we can to provide a full enrolment for the German  
department and to make the whole project efficient in  
advancing the message of the Lord.  
Der praktische Wert  des  Deutschstudiums  
(Fortsetzung  von  Seitc 1)  
Da diese Ausgabe des  Clock Towers  sich haupt- 
sachlich an die amerikanische Jugend wendet, die aus  
deutschsprechenden Familien stammt, mochte ich diese  
jungen Leute auffordern, ihr Spracherbgut zu schatzen  
und in Ehre zu halten. Nat' rlich soli das nicht heiszen,  
dasz sic die englische Sprache vernachlassigen sollten.  
Letzten Endes kommt es auf den Willen und die An- 
strengungen des Einzelnen an, ob er beide Sprachen  
beherrschen und deren praktische und kulturelle Werte  
in sich aufnehmen mochte, urn dadurch befahigter zu  
sein, seineh Mitmenschen zu dienen.

A CHANCE FOR UNION TO SERVE  
With an approximate part of its population being 20,000,- 
000 Germans, the United States ought to contain fertile soil for  
ministers, teachers, colporteurs, and doctors who wish to work  
among the German speaking people. This number includes the  
immigrants, their children, and grandchildren.  
Most of these being resident in the Middle West of the  
United States and Canada, Union college is a logical location  
for the German Theological department. In addition to the some 
forty students of German parentage already in classes and to  
the many more who are not intrinsically German yet who are jus- 
tifiably interested in its study, an added enrolment ought to sup- 
ply the General conference with the necessary material from  
which to draw workers for this important work in America.  
Among the one hundred forty German churches in North  
America with a membership of almost six thousand there is a  
need for young people who speak two languages. This antici- 
pates an added enrolment in the English department also.  
Union college will endeavor to meet the needs of the Ger- 
man work in North America as set forth by the General con- 
ference.  
The purpose of this number of THE CLOCK TOWER is to  
welcome the German department back to Union, to show the  
willingness of the administration to  cooperate  in this renewed  
endeavor, and to review for the reader the significance of the  
German work in North America and more particularly through  
the Middle West.  
Pastor Ochs and Professor Schuster were asked to write  
the articles which appear in this issue under their names. They  
were sent to us in English as requested, but on consideration 
we felt that it would be well to print several articles in German.  
Therefore we secured the help of Professor A. M. Hanhardt,  
who has translated all of the German articles appearing  in  
this paper.  	 J. H. M.

PAGE TWO  	 THE CLOCK TOWER  
Preaching the message of the three  
angels to the Germans in the United  
States was productive of a distinct  
church organization as early as the  
year 1899.  	 Pastor 0. A. Reinke  
worked among the Germans in New  
York City, where a German popula- 
tion of 1,300;000 makes the fourth  
largest German city in the world. Pas- 
tor 0. F. Schwedrat followed him at  
the Brooklyn church. Pastor J. G.  
Hanhardt, father of Prof. A. M. Han- 
hardt of the Union college faculty,  
was one of the earliest workers in  
Jersey City, where there is now a  
church of about one hundred fifty Ger- 
man beiievers. The first German min- 
ister in Philadelphia was Pastor H.  
J. Meyer, now a worker among the  
Germans in Colorado.  
With the organization of a German  
department in the denomination, Pas- 
tor Henry Schultz was made super- 
intendent for the North American divi- 
sion; Pastor G. G. Haffner followed  
him. From 1911 to 1916 Pastor J. H.  
Schilling, who is now .pastor of the  
College View church, was superin- 
tendent of the German department.  
Pastor J. T. Boettcher, former Union  
college student, followed him. The  
fifth superintendent of the department  
is Pastor W. B. Ochs.  
The pioneer worker in North Ameri- 
ca, Pastor L. R. Conradi, held the  
first German school for workers in  
185 )7 in Milwaukee. The next school  
of this kind was held in New York  
by Pastor Reinke. In these schools  
many of the early German workers  
received their training.  
Union college was from 1901 to  
1910 a school for all foreign depart- 
ments in the United States. Because  
of the large enrolment and other rea- 
sons, the German department was es- 
tablished at Clinton, Missouri, as the  
German Theological seminary in 1910;  
the Danish-Norwegian students were  
removed to the Hutchinson Theologi-  

cal seminary at Hutchinson, Minne- 
sota; and the Swedish students went  
to Broadview college in Illinois.  
Pastor  W.  B. Ochs was the last  
president of the Clinton German Theo- 
logical seminary. In 1914-16 Pastor  
H. Schilling had been president of  
the seminary. Among the students who  
attended school there are Pastor W.  
B. Ochs, secretary of the North  
American German department; Pro,  
fessor M. H. Schuster, elected head  
of the German Bible work at Union  
college for next year; Professor H.  
Schilling, head of the physics and  
mathematics department at Union col- 
lege; his brother, Pastor F. A. Schil-  
ling, dean of the School of 'Theology  
at Walla Walla college; Dr. 0. W. 
Reinmuth, assistant professor of clas- 
sical languages at the Nebraska uni- 
versity; his sister, Myrtle Reinmuth,  
instructor of education at Union col- 
lege; and various principals of acad- 
emies and presidents of conferences  
and unions.  
The Clinton Theological seminary  
gathered students from all over the  
United States and from Canada. In  
1925 the German school (for reasons  
set forth by Pastor Ochs in his ac- 
companying article) was combined  
with Broadview near Chicago, the  
fourth largest German city in the  
world, containing a German popula- 
tion of 800,000. Quoting from the  
Broadview  Exponent:  
"Because of the many oppor- 
tunities that have existed here for  
helping young peaple earn their  
way through school, Broadview  
found its position much stronger  
than that of the other schools  
[Clinton and Hutchinson] and so  
has continued college work to the  
present time. Nevertheless, this  
institution ha s   had its perplexi- 
ties. The decreasing number of  
students in the upper two grades  
and the need for accreditation in- 
dicated some two years ago the  
advisability of reorganizing as a  
junior college. This step was very  

Education Head Arrives  
(Continued from page one)  
Miss Bell is a graduate of Em- 
manuel Missionary college and has  
taught in church schools, public  
schools, academies, and colleges. She  
has also been educational superinten- 
dent in the Michigan conference.  
Under the leadership of Miss Bell  
it is planned that a strong Education  
department will be built up. During  
this semester she will direct four clas- 
ses in education—Adolescent Psy- 
chology, two hours; Educational Tests  
and Measurement, three hours; Prin- 
ciples of Secondary Education, three  
hours; and Secondary Student Teach- 
ing, three hours. As the department  
strengthens, other classes will be or- 
ganized and alteration planned to meet  
college major and minor requirements.  
The importance of the Education.  
department is emphasized by the fact  
that practically all states require at  
least fifteen hour s   in education for  
teacrier certification.

beneficial, but did not result in  
enough increase in the students  
to make up for the decreasing  
number attending the academy...  
''The disastrous tire which  
largely destroyed the Broadview  
woodshop, October 31, caused  
many to feel that the question of  
Broadview's future work should  
be decided before the $33,000 re- 
ceived from the insurance com- 
panies was reinvested here. As a  
result a large commission con- 
sisting of all the available offi- 
cers of the General conference,  
representatives of the various  
foreign languages, the Lake Un- 
ion conference committee, the Illi- 
nois conference committee, and  
many other denominational lead- 
ers met here December 14 to give  
the matter thorough study with  
the hope of reaching a suitable  
conclusion.  
"After continued study of the  
plan the commission decided that  
the interests of the young people  
and the organizations could be  
best served by turning over the  
plant at Broaview for the exclu- 
sive use of the Illinois conference,  
which should continue a strong  
accredited academy here, and that  
all the work of Broadview Junior  
college, with the exception of the  
special German classes, should be  
merged with Emmanuel Mission- 
ary college. This new plan will  
go into effect .at the close of the  
present school year. -  
The German department, it was  
voted, was to be moved to Union  
college. Prof. M. H. Schuster, now  
head of the department at Broadview,  
is to have a similar position here. Af- 
ter his graduation from the Clinton sem-  
inary, Professor Schuster was a minis-  
ter 'among the Germans in North Da- 
kota. He then came to Lincoln where he  
attended the University of Nebraska 
and received his M. A. He next lo- 
cated in New York City as 'pastor  
of the Bronx church, and while there  
he continued his study in history at  
Columbia university. Just 'before tak- 
ing up his work at Broadview he was  
pastor of the Brooklyn church in New  
York.  
Nebraska, though itself not a Ger- 
man state, is almost the center of  
the largest German constituency in  
North America. To the east are New  
York, New Jersey, and Ohio with  
its German cities of Cleveland, Col- 
umbus, and Toledo; Wisconsin with  
Milwaukee; Illinois with Chicago and  
southern German counties. To the  
North are North Dakota, where there  
are more German than English be- 
lievers, and where there is the largest  
constituency of German believers; and  
South Dakota, where there are a num- 
ber of Germans. North also is Canada,  
where most of the farmers 'are Ger- 
man and where a large number of  
Germans are scattered throughout the  
provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan,  
Alberta, and British Columbia. To  
the south is Kansas, where there are 
ten to fifteen German churches; and  
Oklahoma and Texas, where there are  
a large number of Germans. To the  
west are Colorado, with five or six  
German churches, California with four  
or five, and the Upper Columbia con- 
ference with several.  
There 'are a number of large Ger- 
man churches in the United States.  
The Brooklyn church has three hun- 
dred members; the Bronx church; two  
hundred; the North Chicago church,  
the Jersey City church, and the Phila- 
delphia church, one hundred fifty each;  
and the South Chicago church, one  
hundred. There is still a small German  
church in St. Louis, a city which once  
had a German population of 250,000.  
In 1912 there was 'an organized Ger- 
man church in College• View which  
held its service in the German chapel,  
or what is now the reading room of  
the library. A Sabbath school class  
survives this church.  
There are nearly one hundred forty  
German churches in North America  
with a membership of almost 6,000.  
The German department of the Gen- 
eral conference has a working staff of  
nearly fifty, including ministers and  
Bible workers. In 1933, the year just  
closed, over seven hundred new mem- 
bers were brought into the churches  
in comparison with seven hundred  
twelve in 1 012. In that same year  
there were one hundred nine churches  
in the United States with a member- 
ship of 4,108. Statistics for the year  
1922 show the number of German  
churches in North America to be one  
hundred thirty-nine with a membership  
of 5,416.  
There is also a publishing work be- 
ing done among the Germans of North  
America. Besides books, pamphlets  
and tracts, there are German Sabbath  
school quarterlies; the  Hausireund,  a  
missionary paper; and the  Botschafter,  
the  Review and Herald  for the Ger-  
mans.

HEAR MISSIONARY  
Pastor and Mrs. Hartwell Represent  
China in College S. S.  
Vivid portrayal of mission experi- 
ences in China, as presented by Pas- 
tor Raymond Hartwell, and a Chinese  
song sung by Pastor and Mrs. Hart- 
well, who were both dressed in Chi- 
nese costumes, comprised an interest- 
ing feature of the Sabbath school this  
week. Pastor Hartwell related experi- 
ences in escaping from the Chinese  
soldiers during war troubles in China.  
The missionaries fled to the American  
consul, and from there went down the  
Chinese wall by means of ropes made  
of sheets, he said. He also told of  
another narrow escape when $2 saved  
their lives from bandits. "I considered  
that $2 well spent, -   he added. Mrs.  
Hartv.ell, formerly Iva Hamel, gradu- 
ated from Union in 1925.  
The special number offered by the  
Sabbath school choir just before Sab- 
bath school on January 20 was a  
mixed quartet composed of Dorothy  
Hutchison, Virginia Mallernee, Seth  
Mohr, and Robert Wagner. Follow- 
ing the orchestra prelude, Buford Tur- 
ner read a Scripture and offered  
prayer.  
In place of the report, Aaron Os- 
wald, secretary, read a number of  
Sabbath school proverbs adapted from  
various Biblical proverbs. Arlene Mc- 
Taggart gave the mission talk on S.  
D. A. school work in Japan, after  
which the members enjoyed a special  
musical number by the orchestra. J.  
H. Nylander conducted the review of  
the previous week's lesson.  
Beatrice Ross, the new assistant  
superintendent, had charge of the Sab- 
bath school on January 13. Cree  
Sandefur conducted the devotional ex- 
ercises, choir singing "B: Silent" as  
an accompaniment. Da:sy Schluntz,  
the new secretary, read the report,  
proposing that the Union College Sab- 
bath school join the NRA and adopt  
as its motto,  - We do our part."  
The mission talk was given by  
Jeanette McKibben, who told a brief  
history of all the Union college alum- 
ni who had gone as missionaries  to  
Japan. Six golden cords reach out  
from Union to that far-off country.  
The men's section of the Sabbath  
school choir sang a special number ac- 
companied by the pipe organ. A con-
cise, helpful discussion of the first les- 
son of this quarter's series on the  
Holy Spirit was given by Pastor Yost.  
The  bill embodying President  
Roosevelt's proposals for a revalued  
dollar was recently smashed through a  
timid House and a somewhat more  
oppositive Senate. In the latter, sev- 
eral defections occurred, notably the  
fight for the Wheeler silver amend- 
ment, but balky members were quick- 
ly whipped into line and the Presi- 
dent was left free to plan other pil- 
lars  for  his  New  Deal temple.  
The most important  provision  of  
the bill  are:  
That all gold of  the United  
States  henceforth be kept In the form  
of bullion. 	 •  
That the dollar be  revalued  at  
not more than  sixty per cent of  its  
1932 standing.  Since the President  al- 
ready has authority  to stabilize it  at  
not  less  than  fifty per cent, the dollar  
will be  worth  from fifty  to  sixty  per  
cent of its former  level. This provision  
has the effect of quieting such fears  
of  uncontrolled inflation as caused the  
flight of capital from the country dur- 
ing the past autumn.  
That the Treasury take over all  
gold in the Federal Reserve banks  
and pay for it in the form of gold  
certificates which will be worth ap- 
proximately one half the value of the  
gold confiscated. Here  the question  
of  constitutionality enters. Whether  
the Treasury can take over property  
belonging to citizens and pay only 
half its market price is 'a debatable  
point to be settled only by the  Su- 
preme court.  
That two billion  dollars of  the  
profits from  devaluation be set aside  
as  a stabilization fund to keep the  dol- 
lar at the  desired level in foreign mar- 
kets.  
That encouragement be given to  
the eventual use of silver as money,  
but that it be held in 'abeyance until  
the effects of foreign adjustments are  
determined,  
The cabinet of Premier Camille  
aautemps, the fourth such within  a  
year, resigned Saturday as the direct  

Shanghai Worker Tells  
of Harvest Ingathering  
Personal experiences in the recent  
Chinese-Japanese war and also stories  
of the mission work in China were  
related by Pastor Raymond Hartwell,  
missionary on furlough from China, in  
chapel Monday.  
Notable progress has been made in  
the medical work since the war, Pas-
tor Hartwell stated, and large dona- 
tions are being received from some  
of the Chinese and Japanese who have  
received physical help in the mission  
sanitariums. One Chinese woman has  
built two large buildings for medical  
use.  
Pastor Hartwell, chaplain in the  
Shanghai sanitarium, told of one prom- 
inent Chinese there during the Har- 
vest Ingathering campaign who, after  
being solicited, gave a check of $880  
(Shanghai money) to the Harvest In- 
gathering fund.  
Bible studies are given to the pa-  
tients and helpers in the sanitariums,  
Pastor Hartwell said, which often- 
times help them to accept Christianity.  
There is still a great need for well  
trained men and women, Pastor Hart- 
well continued, to carry on the differ- 
ent phases of mission endeavor in  
China and Japan.

PRESIDENT CONSIDERS VALUE  
OF APPRECIATION  
The things in life that are the most  
worth having are things that cannot  
be bought with money, asserted Presi- 
dent  M. L.  Andreasen, speaking at the  
vesper service, January 12.  
President Andreasen said that the  
two expressions, "Give me" and  
"Make me," which occur in the par- 
able of the prodigal son, may be  
thought of as revealing the life mo- 
tives of two distinct classes of people.  
Those who give attention only to ma- 
terial advantage and who may be des- 
ignated as belonging to the "give me"  
class were contrasted with those who,  
while not necessarily possessing ma- 
terial wealth, are yet rich in the things  
of the spirit, which they constantly  
strive to appreciate more fully. The  
people of this latter class, President  
Andreasen stated, may be properly  
said to pray the prayer,  - Lord, make  
The speaker urged that greater at- 
tention be given to music, literature,  
and religion. "An appreciation of these  
things will make life meaningful," he  
said.  
result of accusations hurled agains  
two of its members in connection with 
the infamous  affaire Stavisky.  It was  
said that Stavisky, pawnshop swindler  
found dead at Chamonix, had been  
shot by police to shield high govern- 
ment officials. Deputy Henriot led the  
rightist opposition in a fierce four- 
hour denunciatory speech which im- 
plicated even Foreign Minister Paul  
Boncour in the scandal. To compli- 
czte the situation, Royalists, taking  
Henriot's speech as a cue, besieged  
the Chamber of Deputies, shouting,  
"Down with the Republic," and were  
dispersed only after severe rioting.  
Convinced that President Mendieta  
has the substantial backing of his  
people and is able to maintain order,  
President Roosevelt has at last recog- 
nized the government of Cuba. For  
the past several months Cuba has been  
leading an extra-legal existence as far  
as the United States was con- 
cerned. In the battle to secure Ameri-
can recognition and to restore order  
in Cuba, two figures are outstanding:  
Colonel Fulgencio Batista and ex- 
President Ramon Grau San Martin.  
The former, once a non-commissioned  
officer in Machado's army, was pro- 
jected into prominence by the revo- 
lution. He appointed himself head of  
the army and soon became the power  
behind the throne. On the fall of the  
provisional government of de Ces-
pedes, Batista selected Grau San Mar- 
tin as the new president. Unfortunate- 
ly, his choice did not meet the con- 
ditions under which the United States  
would extend recognition, and Grau 
was forced to resign, to be succeeded  
by Hevia (not a choice of Batista)  
and by Mendieta, the present incum- 
bent.

It is when the impulse is generated  
by emotion originating in the con- 
science or the heart that the mind  
moves with sublime and controlling  
power.—JAMES B. WALKER.  

Andreasen Urges Church  
To Manifest Godliness  
''For as many as are led by the  
Spirit of God, they are the sons of  
God" was the basis of President  
Andreasen's sermon January 13 at the  
College View church.  
The world is waiting for the sons  
of God to manifest and demonstrate  
the glory of God, he declared. This  
glory is neither to be revealed to the  
world nor in the world, but in us, the  
speaker pointed out. When Christ's  
followers are cleansed and all their  
unlovely traits of character are weed- 
ed out and they become like God,  
that is the manifestation of God, he  
said.  
If God would differentiate His peo- 
ple from the world and reveal his  
power, the speaker stated, He would  
give the supreme demonstration of a  
people who would not sin and who  
would keep the commandments of  
God.  
BE READY FOR THE ADVENT,  
SAYS SPEAKER  
Discussing the second coming of  
Christ at the chapel service Friday,  
Pastor E. E. Carman stressed 'the im- 
portance of being constantly prepared  
for that event.  
"We may not properly say that we  
are waiting for the coming of the  
Lord," the speaker said, "unless we  
are  ready  for His coming—those who  
are not ready do not wait. Our ques- 
tion should not be 'How long will I  
have to wait?' but rather 'How long  
will it be before I am ready?' Such  
a one I knew in China. He was an  
old, poor man well along in his eigh- 
ties, who was able, because of his firm  
confidence that the Lord would soon  
return, to bring a word of hope to  
me in a time of discouragement."  
Pastor Carman stated that the sec- 
ond coming of Christ is clearly out- 
lined in the great lines of Bible  
prophecy.  
GROUP MAKES TOUR  
Iva Mac Small-Hilts, head of the  
speech department at Union college,  
with Prof. C. C. Engel, violinist, and  
Ruth Johnson, pianist, accompanied  
President Andreasen on a tour through  
Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas from  
Thursday until Tuesday. Programs  
of readings and music were given at  
Wichita, Kansas, Oklahoma City,  
Oklahoma, and at Southwestern Junior

unpleasant degrees of cold and heat.  
BY  RODNEY FINNEY, JR.  
The best story for most people is  
the weather, and the reason for its  
popularity as a news subject is that  
the weather affects every one. Any  
one who is known to record temper- 
atures is constantly asked concerning  
the matter.  
Scarcely, if ever, a day passes that  
many do not ask me how cold or how  
hot it is. That is, outdoors. They  
tell  me the temperature inside, espe- 
cially if it is too cold. If weather 
conditions are extreme, nearly every  
one asks what the temperature is.  
People are poor guessers regarding  
temperatures, and nearly always are  
extreme in their estimates. If it is  
warm, they will often guess too high;  
and if it is cold, they are even more 
apt to guess too low. If people think  
that it is extremely cold, they are  
disappointed to find that it is not.  
They like extreme weather occasion- 
ally.  
Nebraska has competed quite ca- 
pably with her Southern sister-states  
this winter in the matter of warm  
weather. Perhaps some figures as to  
the actual mildness of our climate  
would be interesting.  
The following figures cover forty  
days, beginning December 8. The  
wind blew noticeably thirty days, and  
the air was quiet ten. This does not  
mean that it blew a gale thirty days,  
but enough to be recorded. The aver- 
age minimum temperature recorded for  
the same period between 6:30 'a. m.  
and 8:00 p. m. was 17.45. The average  
maximum temperature recorded for  
the period was 32.35. The lowest  
temperature recorded was -9 and the  
highest, 64. Oddly enough, both ex- 
tremes were recorded during Christ- 
mas vacation.  

SEMINAR CONVENES  
Andreasen Gives Suggestions For  
Gospel Evangelists  
That the evangelist should know  
his subject, and that living his religion  
is essential to a successful ministry,  
was the major presentation of Presi- 
dent Andreasen at Gospel Workers'  
seminar January 13.  
President Andreasen emphasized the  
idea that the speaker should always  
know what he is going to say and  
that the sermon should have a definite  
aim.  
The evangelist should be a living  
example of what he represents, the  
speaker stated. That the evangelist  
should be careful to make every  
honest effort to aviod criticism was  
also advised.  
The speaker warned his audience  
that many theologians have failed be- 
cause they lived on the applause and  
praise of men. To counteract ten- 
dencies in this direction, he suggested  
following the example of Christ as  
the ideal gospel worker.  
"The Shame of the Cross" was the  
subject presented by Walter Specht  
at the meeting of the Gospel Workers'  
seminar on January 19.  
The speaker showed the need of the  
world for a Savior and declared, "the 
world has lost its emphasis of the  
cross." He told his audience that  
salvation cannot be gotten apart from  
the Cross, and that the problems of  
life can only be solved by the cross.  
The goal of the gospel is "Christ  
in you the hope of glory, -   Mr. Specht  
stated, showing that the great desire  
of Christ was expressed in the prayer  
He offered for his redeemed. His  
desire to have the saved with Him,  
continued the speaker, will be fulfilled

when this earth is restored to its  
former sinless state.  
That the Seventh-day Adventist  
church has been called by God  to  
perform a particular work in the  
spreading of the gospel message to all  
the world before the coming of Christ  
was the thesis presented by Rodney  
Finney at Gospel Workers' seminar 
Friday evening.  
The speaker drew a parallel from  
the experience of Esther and Morde- 
cai as recorded in the Bible. He de- 
clared that as Esther was called to  
perform the work of saving the Jew- 
ish nation from total destruction at  
the hands of Haman, so were the  
Seventh-day Adventist people called  
for the task of finishing the "work of  
God. -  
Mr. Finney said that Christ came  
at a time when he was needed the  
most. He came during a crisis. George  
Washington, a man of destiny, came  
when he was needed, according to '  
Mr. Finney. The Seventh-day Ad- 
ventists have been called by God, he  
declared, and they have come in an- 
swer to the calling that God has sent  
to carry his messages to the world.  
'Tis curious we only believe as  
deep as we live.—EMERSON.  
Your goodness must have some  
edge to it; else it is none.—EMERSON.  
It is surprising to find how much  
more kindness than justice society  
contains.—SAMUEL  JOHNSON.  

M. V. BANDS ARE ORGANIZED  
(Continued from page one)  
of the Master Comrade band, Milden  
Moore has charge of the Foreign  
Mission band, which will present one  
program each month.  
Besides these regular bands, four  
new ones have been organized. The  
whole student body has been divided  
into four groups: band "A," with  
leaders Esther Reeder and Avery  
Dick; band "B," with leaders Anna- 
bell Rumpf and Frank Davis; band  
"C," with leaders Helen Meyer and  
Carlton Blackburn; band  ''D,"  with  
leaders Elizabeth Anderson and Wil- 
liam Carter. Each one of these bands  
is assigned certain Sabbaths on which  
it will have charge of the program.  
With this organization perhaps more  
students will be enabled to participate  
in the activities of the society, officers  
say, and interest will be strengthened  
and activity extended.  
SHADEL IS VESPER SPEAKER  
Representative incidents of "Moun- 
tain Experiences" were correlated with 
the experiences of Christians by Pas- 
tor S. T. Shade], Central union Home  
Missionary secretary, Friday evening  
in the chapel.  
Mount Sinai is the mountain of  
covenant making, Mount Gerizim the  
mountain of blessing, and Mount of  
Olives the mountain of hope, accord- 
ing to Pastor Shadel. He warned his  
audience against climbing the little  
Mount Ebel, the mountain of curses.

and Walter Specht, sophomores, and  
Vernon Mohr, a freshman: from Okla- 
homa, R. Jack Christy, registered  
special; from Texas, Thelma Nanney,

Open Mind Feature of  
Scholarship, Says Dick  
The true scholar loves truth, and  
he has an open mind, not open at both  
ends like a stove pipe, but open to  
suggestions and ready to accept in- 
formation on both sides of a question,  
said Dr. E. N. Dick in his talk in  
chapel January 22.  
The true scholar is critical, Dr. Dick  
said, but there is a tendency in most  
people to be credulous, even gullible  
—to believe everything they see in  
print.  
"We don't like to be jarred out of  
our peace of mind," the speaker stat- 
ed. "We like to believe what we want  
to believe. Psychologists tell us that  
a crowd doesn't applaud the speaker  
who brings new thoughts to it, but  
rather the one who repeats things al- 
ready believed.  
"Never judge a movement by its  
enemy. The Catholics ought not to be  
judged by the story of a renegade  
priest or an escaped nun, nor the  
Adventists judged by men who have  
separated themselves from the denom- 
ination."  
IOWA ADDENDA  
Since the appearance of the Iowa  
number of THE CLOCK TOWER the  
staff has been informed of several im- 
portant omissions in the data. The  
president of Union college was reared  
in Iowa, near Council Bluffs; the man- 
ager of the college press, Wendel  
Graham, came here from Des Moines,  
Iowa. 'He has also been manager of  
the print shop at Oak Park academy.  
Prof. T. R. Larimore has spent the  
past two summers visiting the homes  
of the young people of college age in  
that state. Mrs. E. N. Dick formerly 
taught commerce and was accountant  
at Oak Park while her husband was  
preceptor there. Katherine Riley, of  
Marshalltown, Iowa, has been a stu- 
dent here for the past two years. She  
serves at the deck at mealtime and  
otherwise works under the supervision 
of Miss Westcott. MiSs Riley is tak- 
ing the normal course.  
Recent arrivals from Iowa are Helen  
Foreman of Nevada and William Han- 
son of Exira. Miss Foreman gradu- 
ated from the music conservatory•  
course here in 1928. Since then she  
has taught music at Campion academy,  
Loveland, Colorado, and has been sec- 
retary to the manager of a sanitarium  
in Hot Lake, Oregon. She now plans  
to finish her college course with a  
major in English. She is working in  
the registrar's office and is stenograph- 
er to Miss Rees. Mr. Hanson, treasur- 
er of the junior class last year, has  
been working in Arlington, California,  
during the first semester of this year.  
He is a senior and plans to graduate  
at the close of this year with a major  
in commerce.  
HEALTH CLUB HEAR DR. LOPP

models he demonstrated the beauty of  
good teeth and gave directions for  
preserving them. Selected foods, prop- 
er methods of brushing the teeth, and  
a careful dental examination once or  
twice a year were points mentioned.  

Armenian Exile to  
Relate Experiences  
Serpouhi Tavoukdjian will  
lecture in the college chapel  
Saturday night at eight o'clock  
on her experiences as an exile  
in Arabia during the World  
War. Miss Tavoukdjian, an  
Armenian girl, is a former stu- 
dent of Washington Missionary

Angeles, California. She is the  
author of a book,  Exiled,  just  
off the  press. It  is the story of  
her life as told in the  Youth's  
Instructor  last year.  
Village M. V. Society  
Studies World Problemi  
That the outlook for the year  1934  
is not as cheerful as every one hoped  
it would be, was maintained by Lydia  
Sonnenberg in a talk before the vill- 
age Missionary Volunteer scciety in  
the S. D. A. church on the afternoon  
of January 20. Miss Sonnenberg based  
her conclusions upon an article writ- 
ten by Alonzo Baker, associate editor  
of "The Signs of the Times."  
Miss Sonnenberg stressed religious  
conditions by saying that men are  
turning towards God more readily now 
than ever before. Describing the con- 
dition of modern religious teachers;  
she said,"These leaders offer then,  
the church members, only the wis- 
dom of men. For bread they give  
their people stones of human philoso- 
phy; for water they give the theories  
of current sociology; for the 'ThuS  
saith the Lord' they are given the  
'Thus saith DarWin.' -  
This gloomy condition ought to  
prompt every one to accept Christ  
as his personal guide and Savior, the  
speaker said.  	 .  
Ralph Peterson detailed the ptogress  
made by automobile companies, show- 
ing the great increase in speed and  
safety with every new model. He  
also described the political struggles  
which took place• during the year  
1933.  
Professor T. R. Larimore, leader of  
the Village Missionary Volunteer so- 
ceity, urged that  every  member co- 
operate heartily in the missionary en-  
deavors of the society.  	 •

RUSSIA RECOGNIZED  
Dean G. W.  Habenicht Reviews  U. S.  
Relations  With Russia  	 •  
Speaking on the recent recognition  
of Russia by the United States, Pro- 
fessor G. W. Habenicht stated in his  
chapel address January 12 that the  
sixteen-year non-recognition policy  
which has just discontinued will un- 
doubtedly usher in a new era in Am- 
erican foreign relations.  
Reasons for non-recognition of Rus- 
sia, as given in the address, included:  
Russia's repudiation of debts, her con- 
fiscation of American property, her  
methods of spreading communistic pro- 
paganda throughout the world, her  
breaking down of morals, and her  
destructive competition made possible  
by cheap labor.  
Appeal of Russian trade, gradual  
soothing of American public opinion,  
recognition by other foreign nations,  
and encouragement by such prominent  
American leaders as Senators William  
E. Borah and Hiram Johnson were  
the main reasons for granting recogni- 
tion to Russia, the speaker said.  
Results that may come from the  
agreement, as related by Professor  
Habenicht, are: Efforts for peace  
measures will be changed, and the  
formation of a new policy by Japan  
towards the treaty negotiators will  
undoubtedly follow. The benefits to 
be derived by the United States will  
be small, the speaker said, because  
Russia must borrow funds with which  
to purchase -materials and machinery  
for use in subsequent competition with  
the United States.  
Humility is not self-depreciation,  
but only the judging of ourselves ac- 
cording to God's perfect standard.— 
FISHER.  

Band Gives History of  
Chinese Mission Work  
The entrance of the Christian re- 
ligion in China, the missionary work  
as carried on by the Seventh-day Ad- 
ventist denomination in that country,  
and the governmental and monetary  
conditions existing there were re- 
viewed by the Mission band, a branch  
of the Union College Missionary Vol- 
unteer society, January 10 in the col- 
lege chapel.  
That the mission work in China can  
be traced back to the birth of the  
Christian era was one of the histori- 
cal points presented by Rodney Fin- 
ney, who showed that specific work  
was done in the seventh century. At  
this time there occurred the Jewish 
migration to China, which, he said,  
introduced the Christian religion. The  
speaker described work carried on by  
the Catholic church and particularly  
by the Jesuit society in China.  
Missionary progress made in China  
by the Seventh-day Adventist denom- 
ination was recounted by Esther Reed- 
er. She said that J. N. Anderson, a for- 
mer teacher at Union college, was  
the first missionary sent to China by 
this denomination. Today there are  
over one thousand workers employed  
by the Adventist denomination in  
China. She related the story of a  
bandit who became converted and  
later was given the office of treasurer  
for the conference.  
Pastor E. E. Carman, a returned  
missionary from China, described po- 
litical conditions existing in that na- 
tion today. He said that revolutions  
are common and that the forms of  
government change very often. The  
thirty provinces which compose China  
and which have a variety of forms of  
government make it almost impossible  
to carry on business transactions, he  
said, because monetary standards vary  
in every province. The money fluctu- 
ates to the extent that large sums are  
lost over night.  
Carman Tells of Prayer  
Experiences in China  
"God is just as able and willing  
to work miracles in answer to prayer  
today as he was in the time of Elisha,"  
stated Pastor E. E. Carman, speaking  
at the vesper service January 19.* In  
support of this assertion, Pastor Car- 
man told his hearers the story which,  
in its essentials, follows:  
A young physician with whom Pas- 
tor Carman was acquainted in China  
was abducted by Chinese bandits and  
held for ransom in a secluded moun- 
tain cave, where he was placed under  
continual heavy guard. The young  
man was at first reluctant to pray,  
because he felt he had drifted away  
from God. In his desperation, how- 
ever, and with a sincerely contrite  
heart, he prayed that he might be de- 
livered. One night he was awakened  
by a voice which said, "Get up and  
leave this place." The prisoner asked,  
"How shall I know where to go?"  
Again the voice spoke. "Follow the  
stars," it said. The man arose and  
looked about him. The guards were  
all asleep. Just three stars were vis- 
ible. They were arranged in a straight  
line. Following the way they seemed  
to indicate, he came at length to a  
village where he learned his where- 
abouts and secured transportation to  
his home.  
Pastor Carman said God always  
answers the prayer 'offered in faith.  
Showing that He sometimes answers  
in the negative, the speaker referred  
to Christ's prayer in the garden, "If  
it be possible, let this cup •pass from  
me. Nevertheless, not my will, but 
thine be done." "We must learn to  
subject our wills to the will of the  
heavenly Father," Pastor Carman  
said.  
YOUTH SURVEY DOCTRINES  
-----  
A  review of the fundamental doc- 
trines of the Seventh-day Adventist  
church and a brief study of world  
events predicted in the Bible were  
presented in the Village Missionary  
Volunteer meeting Sabbath afternoon  
at the church.  
Kenneth Parker told how the proph- 
ecies of Daniel are being fulfilled to- 
day by the new discoveries of science  
and by the increase in travel by air,  
rail, and automobile.  
Prof. T. R. Larimore, leader of the  
society, conducted a study on certain  
fundamental doctrines taught by the  
Adventist denomination. The purpose  
of this study, he said, was to estab- 
lish the youth upon a solid foundation  
of church belief. He plans to devote  
some time in each meeting to this  
purpose.
