Expression Recital To Be Given Saturday Evening U COLLEGE LIBRARY EX .Sophomore Number OWER PRESIDENT STEEN SPEAKS AT CHURCH Broadview Head Urges Emphasis On Soul-Winning "More souls have been won during the past year than for a number of years before, in spite of the depression and the fact that the work has been carried on with only half the usual funds, and with fewer workers." This was the startling situation revealed by T. W. Steen, presi- dent of Broadview college, in his sermon Sabbath morning. This fact, he said, proves the truth of the statement, "There is no crisis with the work of the Lord." It is not the money or amount of work- ers that wins souls, he explained; but it is the voice which these mediums use in giving this gospel to the world; it is the degree to which the voice does not alter, exaggerate, or belittle the message that it gives that proves its worth and its truth. His text, found in John 1:23, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilder- ness," assumes a new significance in these days of the radio and the dictaphone. Professor Steen made it clear that the young people graduating from our col- leges this year must have a real burden for winning souls, they must have a real message to give, and they must have a deep earnestness and determiation to work for God whether they are on a con- ference pay-roll or not. It is true, he said, that a few years ago there were scarce- ly enough young people to fill the posi- tions awaiting them, and to make use of the surplus in the treasury; consequently, many workers were sent who had not been tested in their Christian experience, and who had not the "voice" so much needed by the servants of God. The sit- uation has changed, the speaker pointed out, and it is now necessary to choose with extreme care the missionaries who are sent, in order that early and dis- (Continued on page four) SOPHOMORES LEAD SABBATH SCHOOL Mission Reading Presented in Unique Dramatization Value of Decisions Stressed VOCAL DUET GIVEN Gladys Munn Reads Secretary's Report As Jeanette McKibben Plays Organ The officers chosen by the Sophomore class to have charge of Sabbath school were Ermina Powell, leader, and Gladys Munn, secretary. It was fitting to begin the worship of the day with a silent prayer to God for His guidance and help. With Ralph Cash as leader, the con- gregation joined in singing that old famil- iar hymn, —Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus," after which Glenn Wood read from the book of Isaiah. In a rather unique way the secretary gave the report as a musical reading, ac- companied at the organ by Jeanette Mc- Kibben. It introduced Caroline Snead, as a senior, at the organ waiting for offi- cers meeting. She recalled the time when as freshmen they had given their pro- gram. It was interesting to learn of the various accomplishments of those who had taken part in that Sabbath so long ago. Cleo Smith had been asked to go as a medical missionary to Africa follow- ing commencement. Dave Olson after four years of so-called "higher educa- tion" is to return to the farm and will make an ideal neighbor. Sarabel Borton continues her work as a teacher. Chester Wickwire, an "up-and-coming" writer, supplies plenty of work for Earl Gable, the printing wizard. Robert Brown has developed a keen business sense and Walter Specht is engaged in soul-win- ning. Success will attend him because of his fine speaking ability. The mission reading was given in the form of a dialogue. The characters were big sister Jane, taken by Genevieve Fi- man, little sister Margaret, by Juanita Rodman, and Uncle Bob, Kenneth Pur- dom. Uncle Bob, a returned missionary on furlough, wishes big sister Jane to go with him and teach in one of his out- schools as she had planned to do seven years before. Uncle Bob leaves and tells her he will return in a week for her answer. While Uncle Bob has been gone Jane has been attending the university. She is to be graduated in a few days and has in her possession a contract with a "high- class" girls' school. Since Uncle Bob's leaving she has changed her ambitions and instead of being the missionary her girl- (Continued on page two.) REPRESENTATIVE OF MIDDLE CLASS SPEAKS Sophomores Hold Important Po- sitions in Various Activities of Union College By MAURINE PETERSON "Will I write something for the CLOCK TOWER about Sophomores?" Ah, why yes, that ought to be an easy topic. There surely must be plenty of material to get as that is such a large subject. A few days later I sat down to writs my article. Of course I thought I would have no trouble thinking of what to say. I expected the words would fairly tumble onto the paper. But what could be the matter? I just couldn't get started. Why could I not think of anything to say I discovered that cause at last—thanks to my psychology—all I needed was a stimulus. Then I thought of all those eager faces when the Sophomores met to discuss their plans for the CLOCK, TOWER. Oh yes, that was the stimulus. I could never disappoint them. There are many different kinds of Soph- omores. For instance, you all know Bob Whitsett. Do you blame a freshman for wondering if he was a senior or a fac- ulty member? Then there are a few very quiet members in our class as Florence Johnson or Arna Marley! There are studi- ious ones such as Della Rice; musicians as Gladys Munn; and industrious stu- dents like Ernie Baker or Ellen Swayze. If this school had no Sophomores, imagine how vacant third floor in North hall would be, how funny one issue of the CLOCK TOWER would look with only advertisements in it, how lonesome it would be with no juniors next year, and how tragic it would be to have no sen- iors the next year. Just what would Union College be without its Sophomores. What would you do, students, without the servers in the cafeteria? Did it ever occur to you they are all Sophomores but one? Then we have the Sophomore readers, press workers, janitors, book store clerks, and librarians. In fact, there are Sophomores in every important work in the school, there would have to be in order for the work to run correctly. But I hear you say, "Why aren't Sophomores spoken of as much as other classes?" Well you see, they are over their freshman days and so cannot be popular because of their blunders. Most of them have not progressed far enough to be made famous for their virtues as upper clansmen. But remember, there must al- ways be a center csr mid point to balance anything, and that's the part the Sopho- more plays. Just think what an important part the history of the Middle Ages has played in this world. It is also the middle class of people in any country that de- termines the progress or failure of that country. Even so the history of the mid- dle class—Sophomores—must have an im- portant influence on the years to come. A Sophomore is of great value to the other classes. A freshman does not need to be afraid to ask their help or advice (Continued on page four) Pre-Medic Mascot Is Lauded by Friends By RAY HILL Friends, faculty, and students — lend me your ears. I've come not to bury Caesar, but to praise him. Bruno was a faithful dog, but so is Caesar. For a span of four years he has served in his es- teemed office, "Mascot of the Pre-Med- ics." During his service in office Caesar has assumed certain undefined and un- called for duties. Oftentimes, when the Committee on Organic Chemistry is in regular session, he barks and capers at the window for admittance. His words are powerful, as well as audible. It has become the custom of the committee to grant a seat to Casar in the session al- though he is not permitted to vote on any question. Sergeant-at-arms, Professor Jorgensen, has assumed the duties of doorkeeper, and usually admits Caesar's person into the "closed door" session. The Sergeant may at will appoint any member to carry out Caesar's wish. Although Caesar has a lifetime position as Mascot of the Pre-Medicis, he has many other worries. Of late he has ex- pressed his emotions in common dog fashion to the extent that it became nec- essary for the Sergeant to present him with a muzzle. Caesar was not so favor- ably impressed with his new muffler, but realizing the Organic Committee is a democratic body composed of staunch be- lievers in the idea of checks and balances, he has accepted his lot with all cheer- fulness. Members of the committee have learned to recognize the simple harmonic ossila- tion of Caesar's stub tail, as an expres- sion of friendship.

We own it by right of settlement, colonization, you might say, and the majority of us don't plan to relinquish the pleasure of ownership for several years. Last year when we came to Union for the first time we were new-comers, foreigners. This year we came back as citizens to our own territory. Yes, it is ours. This years we have tried to welcome the other new- comers, and we have been sorry as we have heard the Juniors and Seniors making their plans to leave our domain. We are thoroughly convinced that Uniori is a good place to be. We are profiting by our stay here. Frequently we read that the college Sophomore is the wisest, most versatile being in the world. And after all, if the saying, "A man is as young as he feels," is true, why should not the Sophomore's wisdom be classified on the same prin- ciples? It must be that Sophomores know more than Freshmen, else why would Freshmen work so hard to become Soph- omores? On the other hand, the upper- classmen are said to realize more and more as they proceed in their education that really they know very little. This decline of wisdom is said to con- tinue with the effect that on Commence- ment evening the college senior is the most "humble" man on earth, realizing more than ever his lack of wisdom. Per- haps part of this realization may be ac- counted for by memories of recent ex- aminations. At any rate, some of the Sophomores have determined never to come to that sad condition. A number of A series of tornadoes struck eastern Arkansa' and western Tennessee leavinp widespread property damage. The senate banking and currency com- mittee decided on a thorough investiga- tion of all stock market operations and ordered creation of a "board of strategy" to conduct it. Chairman Stone of the farm board has rejected all offers of private dealers for purchase of the board's surplus wheat and is determined to stand on the pres- ent policy of disposal abroad at the rate of 5,000,000 bushels a month. Adolf Hitler's national socialists be- came the strongest political party in four German states, including Prussia, which alone constitutes two-thirds of Germany, in diet elections Sunday, but nowhere did they prove strong enough to take over the government alone. President Hoover in a speech before the twenty-fourth conference of govern- ors, urged upon the nation the necessity of adjusting taxation and government ex- penditures as "the sure highway toward national recovery." In primary elections in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, a duel race between Alfred Smith and Franklin Roosevelt for democratic nomination was won by Roosevelt in Pennsylvania, and Smith in Massachusetts. Carbonated waters, unfermented fruit juices, grape concentrates and brewers' wort were given increased tax rates by the senate finance committee in revising the house revenue bill. For the first time since 1910, the total democratic vote in the Nebraska primary this year was larger than the total re- publican vote. Every family in the U. S. would have $10,961 of capital and an income of $2,366 if the national wealth would be equally divided between all families of the country. of Profes- concerning Sophomores classes show that even fessional Seniorism is followed by a light attack of the symptoms appearing in Sen- iors of the four-year courses.' The effect the disturbance has on the Professional Senior is often that he returns to take up his studies for two additional years. The Professional Seniors are the peo- ple who become church school teachers, Bible workers, stenographers, bookkeep- ers, dieticians, and doctors. The Sopho- mores who go on and finish the four-year course (and this is most of them) are the people who become preachers, mission- aries, departmental secretaries, academy and college teachers; and business men of the finest type. Sophomores bear the brunt of many jokes and a considerable number of derrogatory remarks. We realize that even Sophomores may not be perfect. We do not resent construc- tive criticism, but be kind and thought- ful when you offer it, for we are busy thinking big thoughts for the future and might be annoyed by untactful inter- ruptions. The courses of study we are pursuing are intended to prepare us to do our work for the Master efficiently and ef- fectively. We interpret present world con- ditions as indicating that the time of Christ's coming is rapidly nearing. Ef- ficiency in the Lord's work, always nec- essary, is doubly so now. We, the Union College Sophomores of 1932, are determ- ined that in the hour of test we shall be prepared. Ten million French voters will partici- pate Sorcla7 M'y 1 in 31.71 -,. .- .1 712c lion. The voting will be followed May 8, by a run-off election. Decisions such as those which faced Lincoln and the governments of the south- ern states in the period preliminary to the American Civil war must be made short- ly by the Australian federal government and its constituent states. The growing seriousness of the battle between states' rights and federal authority is empha- sized by the widespread preaching of secession in Tasmania and Western Aus- tralia, and by the point blank refusal of the premier of New South Wales, J. T. Lang, to surrender funds command- ed by the Canberra government. Democratic leaders suffered a smash- ing defeat in their economy plans when the house struck from the economy bill the vital section which would have con- solidated the war and navy departments. Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt are in more open warfare than ever before as the political battle ground shifts thousands of miles to California. Rarely does either mention the name of the other, but the line between them has been clearly drawn. Australia, the island continent, has an estimated population of 6,500,000. There are six states, New South Wales, Vic- toria, Queensland, South Australia, West- ern Australia, and Tasmania, and three territories, North Australia, Central Aus- tralia, and the federal capital territory Canberra. There are 10,394 students from other lands now studying in colleges and uni- versities of the United States; Canada, 1,523; China, 1242; Japan, 1187; Philip- pine Islands, 803; Germany, 447; Eng- land 397; Mexico, 298; Porto Rico, 264; Franklin D. Roosevelt has 207 conven- tion votes already pledged. IDEIUUT Prayer is Subject at Seminar Meeting SOPHOMORES WIN TRACK MEET "Prayer is another one of those beau- tiful things in life that is taught and written about until it has become com- mon to a great many people," began Ada Williams in her talk on prayer, at the Seminar meeting. "Think about prayer personally and what it should mean and does mean in our lives. You need prayer and I need prayer. We have known that so long we do not pay any attention to it when we kneel to pray. We know we are sinners and that sinners need to pray. If anyone has a doubt of his need of prayer, he certainly needs to know it. "Prayer means something to us after we have given ourselves to Christ. At night we kneel down and say, 'Lord come to us,' but we jump up and do not wait for His answer. The vital part of prayer is being still and letting God talk to us. "Some of the sweetest poetry that has ever been written has been written about prayer." Miss Williams concluded her talk by reading several poems on prayer. Maurine Peterson read "The Claim Was Met." A lawyer was about to foreclose on the little home of an aged couple. Upon his arrival at their home he over- heard the old gentleman praying to his heavenly Father and entrusting them- selves to His will. The lawyer was so moved by the 'earnestness of the petition that he would not foreclose on the home. Ellen Swayze read from the fourth chapter of James for the Scripture read- ing, and the report of the last meeting was read by Sigrid Olson. Annual School Picnic Held at Pioneers' Park in Spite of Early Shower FACULTY LOSES GAME Huge Quantities of Potato Salad, Sand- Wiches and Ice-Cream Consumed Another of Union's traditions remains intact. It rained on the day chosen for the school picnic. Faith was rewarded, however, for while the faculty deliber- ated on the matter of whether to have or not to have the picnic, the sun came out beautifully—and remained out for most of the day. The trip to Pioneer's park was made in special busses as is customary. An "indoor" ball game between the Freshmen and the Faculty took place before lunch. The result was an over- whelming victory for the "Freshies," in spite of Professor Schilling's prediction to the contrary when the event was an- nounced. The report is that immense quantities of potato salad, beans, sandwiches, cup- cakes and icecream were doled out by Mrs. Cook and her corps of helpers at dinner time. In the track meet of the afternoon the Sophomores figured prominently, winning five "firsts," one "second," and three "thirds." The standings in points, accord- ing to classes were: Sophomores, thirty- one; juniors, twenty-eight; freshmen, six- teen; seniors, fourteen. The faculty and academy did not compete. The winners of the various events were: Boys' 50-yard dash, Everett Christensen (junior); boys' 100-yard dash, Everett Christensen ( junior) ; boys' standing broad jump, Nobel Chase (Sophomore): boys' baseball throw, Bob Whitsett (Sophomore): girls' baseball throw, Ruth 1•,,Dy., suck race. Wayne Stringer (Sophomore): three-leg- ged race, Dick Eickhoff and Harry Turn- er (juniors); girls' 50-yard dash, Ada Williams (junior) : boys' relay, Sopho- mores. The Sophomores and juniors were vic- torious over the freshmen and seniors in a baseball game played in the after- noon. Everyone naturally supposed that the seniors and freshmen would be win- ners in this event. The Sophomores were setting too fast a pace to last—was the general opinion. The batteries for the Sophomores and juniors were Grosball and Heine. For the seniors and freshmen: Eickhoff, Stansbury Gable, and Earl Ga- ble.

Then when the word professional, which connotes even more information, is added, we have a classi- fication that requires especial effort and ability for attainment. When we notice the proposed fields of endeavor chosen by the members of this class, one can readily understand that the world's physical, mental, secretarial, musical, and spiritual ills will soon be reduced to a minimum and probably eliminated. In this class there are seven members completing the course preparing them to enter the study of medicine; sev- en are finishing the advanced normal course necessary for teaching positions; two are finishing the home economics course preparatory to taking advanced study in this field under teachers of their own choosing. Then there are two stu- dents completing the pre-dietetics course and two finishing the secretarial course. One student graduates from the course for gospel workers and one from the piano division of the music department, mean- ing of course that the piano is played rather than moved. It might be well to study the particular characteristics of a few of these students to learn the whys and wherefores of their evident successes. The lives of great per- sons should be studied diligently in order that the student may incorporate some of the noble attributes of these successful citizens. We should have more autobi- ographies written by our graduating stu- dents. William Olson's gymnastic ability will stand him good stead when setting broken bones or while doing duty in the psycho- pathic ward. Theodore Wedde will make an excep- tionally good family counsellor. Everett Christiensen will be able to at- tend cases in the hospital ward with never a murmur from the nervous and sleepless patients. Sometimes those who would be most inconspicuous become very con- spicuous because of their efforts at in- conspicuousness. Many pupils will be encouraged to reach the pinnacle of successful service for humanity by the stories told by Er- mina Powell, Bernice Searle, and Ellen Swayze. Glora Bruce and Lorna Miller are ex- cellent recommendations for their course, but I wonder if they have read the same text books and followed the same in- structions? The home economics curriculum seems to lend prestige and allurement to its followers. Sue Russell is very popular. And many girls of North Hall would probably like to ask one question of Earline Taylor—How? (Continued on page four) ELDER COLLINS SPEAKS AT VESPERS Relates Stirring Experiences of Soul- Winning Work Elder Collins spoke on the matter of our great responsibility to God and man in Vespers Friday night, April 29. "You will soon be leaving Union and going home to your fathers and mothers," he said. "What are you going to take back to them? Are you going to take back a new sort of language for your mother to learn so that she will speak better Eng- lish? No. Take Jesus back to your par- ents—a soul-winning Saviour. It is our responsibility to take something back to them, that is really worth while. The world has a right to expect that we bring something to them, since we are Advent- ists and have a real message to give." In reading John 12:21 he placed special emphasis on "Sir, we would see Jesus." Then he went on to say that people all around us are crying out "We would see Jesus," and that it is our responsibility to tell them about our Saviour. Elder Collins related several experi- ences in his own life in which friends had come to him with "We would see Jesus." - I told them the story of our faith and our belief and why I kept the Sabbath in the best way could. They were glad to hear it and accepted the faith. But then they asked 'Why did you not tell us before?' " These people had been acquainted with Brother Collins for many years but he had never spoken to them about their souls. Elder Collins said that he could not answer the question; that he had failed in his responsibility as a member of the Adventist church; and that he hoped he would do better in the future. "Salvation is our message. If one works for souls nine years and then final- ly they are saved into the kingdom of God, there is joy in soul-winning." HARTWELL us are finishing the two-year courses the college and call ourselves sional Seniors.

THE CLOCK TOWER IN PARTING Now, frankly, we were pretty well frightened by that Freshman editorial last week. We hate to admit it, of course, but really we are hardly to be blamed. It was so very convincing and so very heart- rending. If a class as versatile as the Freshmen, caused the editor such worry, how would the Sophomores, who may be said to have lost their "first love," react? Such was our reasoning. Assuredly the prospect was not very encouraging. But the Sophomores (bless their hearts!) stood by. As a result we don't feel so abused as we might have. In fact, since we've had a nice day for our picnic, and since lilacs are in bloom, and since President Andreasen is back again, life is decidedly worth living.

EDITORIAL STAFF Irene Ortner Sophomore Editor-in-Chief Everett Christenson, Maurine Peterson - - Assistant Editors KEEP A-GOIN' Remember 'way back when President Andreasen advocated strongly and insistently that the exit from chapel be made in march time? Ah, those were the good old days! As nearly as our non-pro- fessional ear can detect, the music is as peppy as before, but that ad- jective could never, never be applied to those leaving the chapel now. Of course we enjoy the chapel exercises and love to linger in order not to break the spell which they throw over us. But on the other hand, many of the speeches inspire us with zeal to get out and do things. Even the greatest ardor is lessened considerably by the time one has made his slow and roundabout way to the door via detours because of private committee meetings being held in the middle of the aisle. You've had the experience. Exasperating, isn't it? Now I ask you, where would this year's Sophomores be if they had loitered in the aisles ( figuratively speaking )! Why, they would still be freshmen. What an appalling thought! How comparatively simple it will be to attain the high and worthy rank of "upper-class- manship." It is really amazingly simple—just - Keep a-goin'!" THE FINISH Practically everything has a termination, a finishing point, except eternity. The school year ends May 29, and all our term papers, out- side reading, themes, and what have you, must be completed by that time. We editors realize that it is not necessary to warn the Sopho- mores about procrastination. The Sophomores, however, are not the only group in school. We have three other classes, which, although they are less prominent, bear mentioning. We are on the last lap. We are coming down the home stretch. The three essentials to a good race arc the start, the stride, and the final sprint or finish. Of these three the finish is the most important. If we have any reserve power, this is the time to show it. We must "cut loose" and give all we have as we near the goal. We recognize, however, that those who get off for a good start do not need so much effort at the tape. Likewise those who have a good stride, and have been studying hard and getting their lessons well all year will not have to spend as much effort as they near the judges' stand or final examinations. There are many students who failed in both counts. Their start last January was bad, and they have not been making a good show- ing since. This class must dig in their spikes. They must sprint. In these last few weeks of school they must work hard in order to avoid incompletes and failures. Examinations are ahead of us. We must force ourselves on! We must win! We will not lose! COW PATHS 4illE The matter of making cow paths on the college campus was pre- sented in chapel recently. It was a timely suggestion and would bear repetition, for the bovine customs of some students who persist in meandering across the lawns are more or less symptomatic of more serious habits. People take short cuts either because they are tremendously anxious to get somewhere or because they are downright lazy. The short way, of ten the best way, becomes a menace when efficiency, results, beauty, or what not, are unduly sacrificed. Advertisements that offer a high school course by correspondence in two years, hair on a bald pate in thirty days, a safe investment returning twenty per cent, cadillac or shetland pony to the one who counts the objects whose names begin with "g are very generally intended to interest the makers of cow paths. It is worthy of note that it usually takes more than one person to make a cow path. All credit, if any, is due the first brave soul who ventures out into the unknown, blazing his courageous way across the lawn. What can be said for the anemic herds that follow, step for step, print for print, turn for turn? 7 College Cleaners & Tailors RELIABLE EASONABLE ESPONSIBLE ABA Block FO -68 4744 Calvert COLLEGE VIEW CAB FO-313 We call for you and Deliver you for 15c Per Passenger.

GOLD'S—South Annex-Mezzanine 395 PAGE TWO THE CLOCK TOWER Mississippi Valley Historical Association Meets The Twenty-Fifth Annual Meeting of the Mississippi Valley Historical Asso- ciation was held at the Lincoln Hotel on April 28-29, where some of the noted historians of the Middle West read pa- pers on the carly history of American civilization. Some of the familiar names which students of history will recognize, were Beverley W. Bond, Jr; Walter P. Welb; Dr. Louise Phelps Kcllog; J. A. James and William W. Sweet. The two-day meeting was filled with i! varying program of prepared papers, that were intensely interesting. Some of the most interesting were: "Steamboat- ing 'n the 111 ,- ,:er Mississippi," - Fur Trade," by William J. Peterson, relating that the first steamboats were the Burl- innton and Brazil, landing at Ft. Snell- ing in 1824, the center of trade, of which the American Fur Co, were the prominent traders, and that lead shipments were more important than furs. Beverly W. Bond, president of the Mississippi Valley Historical Association spohe on "The Coming of American Civ- il zation to the Old Northwest." He traced the growth from the founding of Marietta, 0. in 1788, telling of the dev- velopment of the material, social and cul- tural life of the pioneers. The civiliza- tion, the speaker said, was not of any one section, thus broadly American. The entertainments in social life, in culture and recreations were extensively related, also the rise of slavery and the influences of 1.-ligion. Prcbably the most at-home account was given by Edgar B. Wesley, on "Life at a Frontier Post; Ft. Atkinson," 1823- 26, boated fifteen miles north of Omaha with a garrison of 1,120 soldiers, v.ho turned farmers and raised all kinds of products. William W. Sweet, authority on church history, read a paper on "the Churches As Moral Courts of the Frontier." Mr. Sweet said that follcwing the revolution a moral and religious decline was evi- dent throughout the Linked States, It .r.as the period of westward migration, and morals were loose, the liquor con- sumed was increchble. The three most im- porint frontier churches were the Pres- byterian, Baptist and the Methodist. Dis. (-Vine was most the important function of the frontier church. The standard of morality upon which the church stood was high. Though weak and small of membership, the churches exercised a strong influence. RUSSIAN COSSACKS GIVE PROGRAM Famous Singers on Last Number of Lyceum Course The last number of the Union College Lyceum Course was presented in the col- lege chapel Saturday evening by the Russian Cossack Chorus, under the di- rection of Sergei Sokoloff. This group of fine singers, all veterans of the World War, sang beautifully the songs of their native land. A medley of Folk Songs, ar- ranged by Sokoloff, March of the Sig- nals, and the humorous A Cossack Party, by Davidovsky, illustrate the lighter vein which was interwoven throughout a pro- gram of serious music. Of special inter- est were Selection from Bandura, the Dramatic Cossack's Prayer Before the Battle, and the Peasant's Chorus, from the opera Prince Ignor. Tchaikovsky's Legent of Christ, one of the great compo- sitions in this field of music, was a thrill- ing number. The large audience gave the singers and their conductor hearty applause, and they responded with encores. Among these was the lovely Song of the Volga Boatman. The Lyceum course this year has been characterized by programs of a distinctly high nature.

This is what our hearts have cried out within us this past week every time we have looked toward that elevated, awe-inspir- ing landmark on our campus. Our hearts smite us with deepest devotion and loyal- ty when we view that ancient guardian of our campus suffering like a martyr for his faithfulness during the persecutions of three cold, unknown strangers, that cruel- ly tear down the frame bit by bit. For many, many, years that tank has stood like a partriarch among us, re- freshing hundreds with its cool, cleansing, water that has freely flowed from out its very heart. What lessons of service and steadfastness it has given us, not with fleeting words, but by its constant noble presence. Ah, we need that presence still! How we shall miss that lofty example that Phone 48-W X-Ray Res. 202 Diagnosis FRANK T.

Often have we looked and longed to pour from out our selfish hearts a stream of love for man- kind, to give our lives in service as it has so generously given. We have gazed and yearned to be true and unswerving from purpose as it has been. The winds have beat upon it but it has not bent or groaned. The cold, cold snows have cov- ered, it but its heart has not frozen or hardened. And even the blazing sun could not dry up its soul. It is not beautiful of form with Its long angular legs and grimy color, but noth- ing on earth can surpass the beauty of its characteristics. Patiently it stands aloft while mighty, yet insignificant, man severs from it piece by piece its own physiologi- cal parts and tramp thoughtlessly upon them in the dust. "Is this the reward for good living?" it seems to mutely, sadly ask. "What evil thing have I done to suffer so in these last hours?" Tank, your reward is not this! Even now you are still teaching us. You are teaching that reward for good does not come here, that all must suffer the agony of being cut off from this world when our service is ended, and that we must be patient, as you were, even in the last great trial. Your reward will come in the paradise for tanks. It will surely come. An Tank, you will live on and on in our memories. We shall always see you standing there higher than the trees, high- er than the flag pole, yes, higher than our dear Clock Tower, as high as our ideals. We shall honor the place where you solemnly stood and love you, though you are gone. Your influence is part of our lives. We shall always be greater for having known you. Look up, you little boys and girls! Look up, you maids of the laundry and men of the farm! Look up, all you unsettled freshman, climbing Sophomores, hopeful juniors, and renowned seniors! Look up, great souls of the faculty, and give your last homage to our majestic Tank that soon, soon, shall fall, never to rise again on our fair campus! Middle Class Important In School Activities (Continued from page one) as they have not forgotten they were "freshies" once. The upper classmen do not need to feel that we are too "dumb" to understand and sympathize with their tightening hat bands and their lofty senti- ments, as brick side walks for example. Yes, the Sophomores are a valuable asset. If you don't believe so, just ask one of them and they will soon set you right as to their value in this school. Method of Delivering Demonstrated How should the objections one encount- ers in making deliveries be met? How does one overcome the objection of not having sufficient money to pay for the order? Such questions were answered by actual demonstrations at the colporteur's institute Wednesday evening. After reviewing the introduction and pre-canvass, the proper delivery to vari- ous types of customers was demonstrated. Character is what we are when we don't have to be anything in particular. —Sorenson. Village Y. P. M. V. Gives Musicale A musical program was given Sab- bath afternoon at the Village Young Peo- ple's meeting in the church._ "Prayer Perfect" a vocal solo, by Earl Eggert was followed by a piano duet by Gladys Munn and Olivia Harder. Everyone enjoyed the selection by the Misses Virginia, Norma, and Geraldine Carr, "Take Up Thy and Followa Me." Mrs. W. A. Woodruff of Glendale, California, and Mrs. T. M. Woodruff of Lincoln made each one feel the per- sonal call of the Saviour as they sang, "Calling," accompanied by Mrs. Gour- le j. The Union College string trio consist- ing of Professor Engel, Clayoma Engel and Wallace Nethery rendered a beau- tiful selection which was followed by a touching duet, "My Mother," sung by Esther Nelson and Doris Kirstein. The closing number of the program was, "Crossing the Bar" an adaptation of Tennyson's famous poem by that name, arranged for a quartet, which was sung by the College Pals. Other interesting features of the pro- gram were the rousing song service led by Mr Walcker, and the oral report of missionary work done by members of the society. The members of the literature band remained after the meeting to wrap and address some Signs to be mailed to inter- ested people. Once their happy hunting ground, Ill- inois is rapidly becoming the scourge of bank robbers. Driven to desperation by swaggering desperadoes, who victimized hundreds of its smaller members, the Illinois Bankers' association placed a head price of $1,000 on all bank theives, organized a crack investigation depart- ment and launched into a relentless war, the results of which are beginning to be felt in the underworld circles over the entire nation. -Send campaign letters now!" Questions Answered in Mission Band Pastor R. J. Roy, missionary from South America, led out in a round-table discussion on questions relating to that field at South American mission band Sabbath afternoon. In brief, they were as follows: "How do the missionaries begin work with the Catholic people?" In answer Pastor Roy said, "The Cath- olic people believe the pope is the suc- cessor of Jesus Christ on this earth. The problem our missionaries face is to show them that the Holy Spirit is His suc- cessor." "How long does it take to train the natives for mission work?" "That de- pends on the consecration of the native," Pastor Roy said. "The missionary who is training the native worker must learn the language and live with the people. Perhaps the most successful method of training native workers is for the mis- sionary to take them into his home, allow them to run errands and help with the work, then take them along on the visits to churches and allow them to help with the meetings." "What do they teach in the training schools?" "Another way of training workers is to give them instruction in the mission training school. A successful missionary must be able to understand the life of the native. The first thing the na- tives are taught in the schools is the Spanish language. In the advance schools normal subjects are taught. Bible is taught in all the grades. Most of the teachers are natives and hardly any of them have an education amounting to more than six or seven grades. The regular country school lasts seven months. After that there is a two weeks' vacation and then a five months' session is held for the teachers," he concluded. A legislative program designed to save between 160 and 210 million dollars was tentatively agreed upon at an all day conference between President Hoover and members of the house economy committee. u— When answering in the affirmative speak a good English yes, and do not use yeh-a or yep.

Now on Exhibition—Fourth Floor THE CLOCK TOWER PAGE THREE Chemistry Plays important Part In Medicine By THEODORE WEDDE Take interest, I implore you, in those sacred dwellings which one designates by the term, laboratories. These are the temples of the future, temples of well- being and happiness. There it is that hu- manity grows greater, stronger, and bet- ter. The greatest and noblest pleasute which man can have in this world is to dis- cover new truths. All wish to know the truth, but few are willing to pay the price to obtain it. Real progress in the pursuit of knowledge comes from experimentation and observation. Although our present material advance has been achieved by men engaged in scientific research, There is little thought given to those forerun- ners who lived in a dangerous time to experiment, who sometimes paid the price with their very lives. Members of the University of Pisa, and other onlookers, are assembled in the space at the foot of the wonderful leaning tower of white marble in that city one morning in the year 1591. A young professor climbs the spiral stair- case until he reaches the gallery. The people below watch him as he balances the two balls on the edge of the gal- lery, one weighing a hundred times more than the other. The balls are released at the same instant and are seen to keep together as they fall through the air until they are heard to strike the ground at the same moment. Nature has spoken with no uncertain sound, and has given an im- mediate answer to a question debated for two thousand years. "This meddlesome man, Galileo, must be suppressed," murmur the University fathers as they leave the square. "Does he think that by showing us that a heavy and a light ball fall to the ground to- gether he can shake our belief in the phil- osophy which teaches that a ball weigh- ing one hundred pounds would fall one hundred times faster than one weighing a single pound? Such disregard of author- ity is dangerous, and we will see that it goes no further." Galileo's reward was imprisonment by the Inquisition and a broken heart. Such were the conditions which the seeker after truth had to face. Today the experimentor needs have no fear of punishment in carrying out his work. With the desire to understand the mysterious and the motive to extend the boundaries of knowledge, men of science have made real progress in solving the problems of manufacturing and con- struction. The chemist is largely respon- sible for this industrial age. If we ana- lyze the ordinary doings of the ordinary man throughout the twenty-four hours, we find that all the objects with which he deals and most of the food he eats have come at some time or other within the province of chemical industry. Progress made in the application of chemistry to medicine and surgery is es- pecially worth noting because we are all affected by it. Some of the most im- portant contributions of chemistry in re- cent remarkable advances are a variety of anaesthetics and antiseptics which have alleviated suffering and reduced the dan- ger of infection. Disinfectants for house- hold uses, fumigants for preventing the spread of disease, and drugs for curing ailments and allaying pain are furnished in vastly different substances. In viewing the astonishing progress made within the last fifty years, we can see clearly that chemistry will perfrom greater services as we continue to un- derstand the problems of health and dis- ease. A fact daily becoming more im- pressive is that medicine by the very force of fundamental nature in life is turning more to chemistry for the final solution of many perplexing problems in the pre- vention and cure of disease. Life is dyn- amic, not static. Each human body is now SPRAYING TIME Call Samuel McGee 3841 So. 47th St., C. V. PHONE 391J Drink More Milk recognized to be a cnemical factory in wince tile most complicated chemical and pnysicai changes take place. The human ouuy, in its Mall!, organs, and blood, is a tremendous couoluai system. During recent years the study of colloidal chem- istry has gained increasing momentum. 1 o cure disease and to restore mankind to heaulauiness, medicine leans hard on chemistry. Synthetic chemistry, through moleculor manipulative methods, has come orilliantly to tne physician's aid in pro- ducing a variety of drugs. As the need arises, he makes and develops ingenious new methods of analysis to capture the elusive object of his search. Diseases which were men's enemies long before the dawn of civilization are now cured by drugs and medicines. Since the chemists have passed along knowledge concerning the properties of anaesthetics to physicians and surgeons, operations have become little fraught with danger. Aniseptics were developed as well as anaesthetics. This two-fold knowledge enables modern surgeons to carry on operations with the assurance of success. Medical science is directing its efforts more toward the problems of preventing diseases rather than in curing them. The future belongs to science and much re- mains to chemistry to conquer the great human scourges to which a large propor- tion of mankind fall victim. We can an- nihilate disease through the alliance or the coalition of the sciences. May the day come when the lesson of the power of cooperative scientific endeavor, so effect- ively utilized in the chemical warfare ser- vice organization during the World War may be applied with equal success to the solution of the problems of disease and health. Two contrary laws seem to be wrestl- ing with each other nowadays; the one a law of blood and death, ever imagining new means of destruction and forcing na- tions to be constantly ready for the bat- tlefield. The other, a law of peace, work, and health, ever evolving new means of delivering man from the scourges which beset him. The one seeks violent con- quests, the other the relief of humanity. The latter places one human life above any victory, while the former would sacri- fice hundreds and thousands of lives to the ambition of one. Which of those two laws will ultimately prevail, God alone knows. But may we, as chemists, be able to assert after we shall have tried to extend the frontiers of life, that we have obeyed the law of humanity.

Two field secretaries, one Union field secretary and a pro- fessor enter. The Friday chapel service begins. We arise as one and sing the Doxology. Brother L. P. Knecht, field secretary for the Iowa Conference, of- fers prayer. Professor Schilling introduces the chapel speaker, D. E. Collins. No announcements? It seems so. Brother Collins is the new Union field secretary and do we like him? Just ask. He proceeds in his usual rapid-fire man- ner to elucidate on the parable of the rich young man. The rich young ruler who came to Jesus and asked what he should do. He said he had kept the command- ments from his youth. Jesus answered and said, "Sell what thou hast, give to the poor and follow me." The young man turned away sorrowful, for he was very rich. At this juncture Brother Collins asked for attention—and got it. -How many of you are rich?" he asked. No one held up a finger, let alone a hand. -I am," said a voice. We were startled. It was the speaker himself. "I am rich in the love of my Saviour and in being able to partake of his great work," he went on to explain. "Every one of you may be rich, if you choose." "Is Henry Ford rich?" "No." Then Mr. Collins related a number of experiences. Experiences that he has had in connection with the colporteur work. "Another brother and I were canvass- ing together. The other man is bigger than I. I had given by canvass to the lady of the house and was pulling for the order, the the lady signed the guar- antee slip and just after she signed the husband broke loose. He had been stand- ing by all the while and had been rum- bling louder all the time. "Why don't you men go to work?" he asked. Brother Collins realized that he and his companion looked husky enough to work so took the matter seriously. "Now, just what type of work were you thinking of?" he enquired. "Do you have a job in mind?" "No," the man replied, slightly con- fused, "I don't have one in mind." "Then let's see what possibilities there are for us." "Suppose we taken Henry Ford, the richest man in the world, for an example. What does he do?" "Well, he makes tin cans," the man said. "And John D. Rockefeller, the second richest man in the world, what does he do?" - Mr. Rockefeller sells oil." "Then the richest man in the world makes tin cans and the second richest man in the world sells oil to grease them up with?" "Yes, no doubt you're right." "You see the possibilities in a Christian work such as this then, do you not?" The man was won over, convinced. Wouldn't you be? Many other such experiences were told. Thrilling, encouraging, all of them show- ing the power of the Lord and the po- tentialities of the book work. People in South America are calling out to you, pleading to be saved, but they are also pleading in North America and right around you. It will be a real experience to accept your responsibility and go out to save souls for Christ." In conclusion, Elder Collins told of another experience that he had in soul winning. He said, "I plead and prayed with him many times before the victory was won, but, oh, such joy in the win- ning. We ought to accept our responsi- bility to God and to go out and save souls." Be like the little bird, which Haulting on boughs too slight, sings, Knowing that she hath wings. Joy never feasts so high as when its first course is misery. The man who blows his own horn usually stays at the little end. Yesterday is but a Dream, And tomorrow is only a vision; But today well-lived Makes every yesterday a Dream of Hap- piness, And every Tomorrow a vision of Hope. Look well, therefore, to this day. God bless the good natured, for they bless every one else.—Beecher. Trails to God Forests are made for weary men, That they may find their souls again; And little leaves are hung on trees To whisper of old memories. And trails with cedar shadows black, Are placed there just to lead men back Past all the pitfalls of success To boyhood's faith and fiappiness. Far from the cities craft and fraud, A forest, lead me back to God! —Mary Carolyn Davies. Be still, sad heart, and cease repining; Behind the clouds, the sun is shining. Thy fate is the common fate of all; Into each life some rain must fall, Some days must be sad and dreary. The warm blundering man does more good than . the frigid wise man. All he hath will a man give for life. But shall he give for living that which makes it good to live, the consciousness of fellowship and trust? Lot fools so prize a pinch of throbbing dust! Is not the greatest misfortune not to be an individual?—Emerson. Ouija, a board used with a planchette to obtain spiritualistic messages, is a com- bination of the French oui (yes) and the German ja (yes). - FIELD MEN SPEAK AT INSTITUTE Questions Answered and Faithfulness Spoken of in Meetings Just after chapel the colporteurs all went to a spot on the campus just north- west of the administration building where they had a group picture taken, then all returned to the chapel for the morning meeting, Wednesday. The meeting was carried on in an in- formal manner, Brother Franklin first answered questions which had been writ- ten and handed in. Some of which were as follows. "How do you arrange for meals when working in the country?" "How do you get lodgings?" "How do you meet bad dogs?" In case of dogs Brother Franklin said he found it best to tip his hat to the dogs as he would rather that they chew on that instead of his leg. A demonstration of a young lady can- vassing a farmer, was requested. Broth- er Keneckt responded with a demonstra- tion for the "Life and Health." The remaining time was taken up by general discussion from the floor. In the Friday morning meeting of the Colporteur Institute, Brother Collins, field missionary secretary for the Central Un- ion, spoke on the question of our time and faithfulness to the Lord. He spoke of the importance of belief in the Spirit of Prophecy. He said, "If there is anyone who does not believe in the Spirit of Prophecy, he had better stay at home. Saul failed because he did not believe in the Spirit of Prophecy, and so will we if we do not believe." "To be faithful we must be running over, bubbling over like a spring of wa- ter." "Those who have learned to love the Lord will not be measuring time by the eight-hour day,", continued Brother Col- lins. "We should not stick just because we have a bull-dog determination to stick, but because we have a yearning desire to serve the Lord." Brother Collins said, "There is no such thing as a lazy Christian, therefore a lazy person is not right with God." "Make your goals; stick right by it; lern to stop on dock; stick to your busi- ness; and use every chance to close an order"—these phrases were some of the advice given by Brother Collins. In con- clusion he said, "A man's estimate of himself, determines his use of time." ..1•111111•M 111.1...MMEMEMOMMI Colporteurs Have General Discussion Tuesday morning the Colporteur's In- situte was opened with prayer by Broth- er Campbell. Brother Franklin read from the Colporteur Evangelist, page 69, "As the end draws near, the work of God is to increase in full strength and purity and holiness. The workers are to be filled with love for God and for one an- other. They are to cherish principles of the strictest integrity." Colporteurs should put In action the true principles of Chris- tion integrity. He mentioned a lady who said to a colporteur that she had been disappointed in the books she had re- ceived from agents because they turned out to be Seventh-day Adventist books when they had not been represented as such. He answered her, "I am sorry you feel that way about it, but this is a Seventh-day Adventist book." His truthfulness made such an impression that she ordered the book. When the field secretary delivered the book she told him this story and gave him five dollars to send to the colporteur. Strictness and in- tegrity are needed by all our colporteurs. The meeting was then turned over for round table discussion, and questions dealing with the colporteur work were asked by the students. The methods of transportation were discussed. A car proves to be expensive and much of the profit of sales sinks in- to its up-keep. A motorcycle is just as bad. On the prairie a bicycle works ef- ficiently or a horse may be used. The most reliable way is to depend on one's own "shanks" to carry him. "How does a girl colporteur introduce herself?" Miss Borton gave an example. Books should not be sent C. 0. D. unless half the price has been paid in advance. Hitch-hiking should not be done at all by girls. It is dangerous enough for boys. In some states it is prohibited. How to approach Catholics and Luth- erans was then discussed. Emphasize the things they are interested in. Use the terms with which they are familiar pro- viding they are orthodox. "Why is a colporteur not paid a re- gular salary?" The colporteur work is self supporting for the worker receives 50 per cent commission. There is a bonus for the regular colporteur based on hours and sales and there is the scholarship plan. The successful colporteur would not want a regular salary.

Our young workers are not made ac- quainted with the conditions whoch they are to face and with the things that are expected of them, said the speaker. In il- lustrating this truth he related an inci- dent concerning a young couple in which the wife became very sick because she could not stand the sight of leprous hands reaching through her windows for alms. He said that it was not that she was in- sincere; she had not expected such things and the mental condition thus brought about her return to the homeland. A very prominent error of today, Pro- lessor Steen declared is the over-emphasis placed on position, titles, and rotes- sionalism. He warned against the overam- bitious, and encouraged a willingness to do anything or be anything so long as the big thing was winning souls. Then he told the following story: In Brazil at a Union meeting, a recent- ly-arrived misionary and his wife awaited anxiously the decisions of the committee concerning them. The young man could not speak or understand Portuguese, so at the close of each meeting e would ask, ask, "Did they decide about me?" the brethren asked him to re- main in the city in order to win souls and build up the church. He looked up, disappointed, "What, brethren, I'm not to be the president of a conference?" "No. " - Well, can't I be a superintendent of a mission?"' "We want you to win souls, " the brethren told him. - Win souls! Well, what have I done?" And they answered, "That 's just the trouble. You haven't done it." - Well," replied the brother, "if I had known I would be treated like this, I never would have come. What will the brethren back home think of me?" Professor Steen emphasized again the necessity of having a keen desire to win souls, for, he said, one does not know when or where he may be impressed to save a soul. Whether among lay mem- ti ers, young graduates, or conference workers, the speaker concluded, the key to success in these times lies in the voice" that gives the message.
