Sabbath-Keeping a Test in All Ages President Andreasen in his chapel talk Wednesday presented a clear picture of the dependability and steadfastness of God regarding the fourth commandment. -The commandment was given to man- kind and for the purpose of being obey- ed, - the speaker said. "If I were to ask God, 'There seems to be a difference of opinion, some keep no day, most so-called Christians keep the first day, a few keep the seventh day. Lord, which is your Sabbath?' the answer would come back, 'But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God.' "Now, if the Lord God of these com- mandments is our God, then the seventh day is also our Sabbath. The weekly cycle has never been disturbed. All na- tions, all religions, are agreed which day is the seventh day. The opinion of man- kind is unanimous in that respect. "The commandments are eternal. They are principles founded in the very nature of God himself. They are the basis of our very existence and our civilization, and apply to mankind in all conditions. But, have we now as Christians under the New Testament been released from the obligations of the Sabbath? If so, that re- lease should be very definite and founded upon a 'Thus saith the Lord.'

"The moment we accept God, we can believe that in the beginning God created all," he stated. "With the acceptance of God and the Bible, many things are settled; also many other problems arise." "A university man once told me that he could accept all our views on the commandments except the fourth. No so- ciety can exist on any basis except that which is fundamentally built on these nine commandments. These nine appeal to man, but the fourth is different, and, to the world, appears unreasonable. To some, any day appears to be suitable for worship. But in accepting the fourth .com- mandment we accept the fact that there is a power higher than our own. In denying this commandment we are refus- ing to acknowledge any supernatural power. "There is more in that commandment than appears on the surface. God said, 'I will not alter the thing that has gone out of my lips.' He also said, 'The sev- enth day is the Sabbath.' If He has (Continued on page four) Opportunities for Missionary Found Near at Hand BY MRS. H. W. BASS Five years ago a man living near Yan- kee Hill Brick Yards whose wife lay dying advertised for help in his home. It happened that a young Seventh-day Ad- ventist woman answered his advertise- ment. Her services were gratefully ac- cepted. Her husband, who was prepar- ing for the gospel ministry, was enrolled in the college here at the time. Both of them were earnestly seeking to spread God's message wherever opportunity pre- sented itself; so day by day the words and actions of this young woman and her husband, when he came, inspired the hearts of this family and they grew to love them dearly. When the poor mother died, the young man was asked to preach the funeral services in the home. His Christ-like at- titude had caused them to recognize in him a sympathizing friend. Last Thursday the same couple came over from the Omaha Council to visit this family and again manifest their in- terest in them.

U COLLEGE LIBRARY EX VI COLLEGE VIEW, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, FEBRUARY 25, 1932 No, 22 Program At Old Folks Home by Sunshine Band One of the Sunshine bands in charge of Ivan Sutton gave an interesting pro- gram at the County Old Folks' home on Sz.bbath afternoon. Doris Kirstein sang that old favorite song, "Somebody Knows When Your Heart Aches." The read- ing "Fussbudget" given by Harry Craig, greatly delighted the old people. Harold Lincoln gave a talk in which he com- pared God's leading Israel into the Prom- ised Land with the settling of the great Central West. In closing, Doris Kirstein and Harry Craig sang a duet, accompan- ied on the organ by Louise Campbell. Senior Class Organizes and Chooses Officers Monday, February 23, at 4:30 the 1932 seniors met for organization of the class. President M. L. Andreasen met with the class, and presided during the election of officers. By unanimous vote the following were elected: Lowell Welch, president; Myrtle Reinmuth, vice pr esident; Frankie Dearborn, secretary; and Walter Howe, treasurer. Lowell Welch, Eureka, Kansas. Graduate of Cli- max High School, Lowell W. Welch Kansas. President Mr. Welch has been very active in seminar work, and has had charge of Sabbath services in diffc. ent isolated churches in neighboring towns. He was president of the junior class year. Last summer Mr. Welch was field secretary in Missouri. Myrtle Reinmuth, Clinton, Missouri. Graduate of Clinton Seminary. For the past few years Miss Rein- muth has been one of ll lilt. 111 the church school here connected with the col- lege. She gave up teaching this year in order to secure her B. A. degree.

She was secretary of Benjamin Nathan Cardozo, chief jus- tice of the New York state court of ap- peals, was appointed by President Hoover to the supreme court vacancy caused by the resignation of Justice Holmes. Tuesday Feb. 15, the government of Premier Pierre Laval was overthrown by the senate, leaving France without a cabi- net. Paul Painleve. former premier and veteran French politician, was commis- sioned to form a cabinet. After an almost hopeless effort because of the refusal of Laval and Tardieu to join him, Painleve gave up the attempt to form a cabinet. The responsibility was given to Tardieu who succeeded in forming a cabinet. The treasury department submitted to the house ways and means committee re- vised proposals to raise taxes to meet the $1,241,000,000 deficit in the coming fiscal year. A proposal of a one cent a gallon tax on gasoline and a seven per- cent tax on electricity was suggested. President Hoover recommended to con- gress a wholesale reorganization of the government consisting of the creation of four new federal offices. He requested the changing in title of four other feder- al departments. Under the eight new and WOMAN'S PART IN MISSIONS TOLD Secretary Tells of Banquet at Which Place Was Left for Unseen Guest MRS.

Last summer Mr. Howe was tent master and general assis- tant of Elder Johns, Frankie Dearborn pastor of Des Secretary Moines church, in an evangelistic campaign in Perry, Iowa. Following the election, Mr. Welch took the chair and, in the absence of President Andrea- , animously voted that President An- dreasen be the class sponsor.

Elections in Ireland have been marked throughout the week by heavy voting and marked feeling. The issue decides whether President Cosgrave should stay in office or Ftanion de Valera and his fianna fail should succeed. A set of drastic proposals, calling for disarmament by other nations on the scale Germany has had to disarm un- der the Versailles treaty, was given to the world disarmament conference by a German spokesman. A united front in dealing with the far eastern situation has been achieved at last by the United States, Great Britain, France, and Italy.

Quidnunc members recall that this is the second 'ire Hitler has come into the limelight, and they expect to hear more of him later, since an election will soon be held in Germany. "Mr. Hitler is the leader of the Social- ist party, which at present is the second strongest in Germany," stated Mr. Lutz. "He was considered harmless and the world laughed at him. Today no one laughs, for everyone is considering his wonderful career. He is a man without a country, for he lost his Austrian citizen- ship. (Continued on page four) WASHINGTON'S LIFE TOLD BY DR. DICK First of a Group of Chapel Talks on Washington Portrays His Early Life Dr. E. N. Dick, head of the history department, gave the first of a series of talks on George Washington at Friday chapel. He stated that there has been planned a nine-months' celebration of the bi-centennial anniversary of the birth of Washington. "People all over the world are taking part in this celebration," Dr. Dick said. "New stamps are being put out, new coins are being issued, and some three thousand cities are to have a part in it. Even the Indians are to participate in this celebration. In Berlin the name of one of the important squares is being changed to Washington Square. "Abraham Lincoln once said, 'To add to the light of the sun or to add glory to the name of George Washington are alike impossible.' "George Washington's birthday is r"1,11,,to.-1 nn the tm ,prIt l.t-cornr.r1 of Fr.11- ruary, whereas during Washington's life he observed the eleventh as his birthday. The reason for the confusion is the change in calendars. When the Julian calendar, which was in effect at the time of his birth, was replaced by the Gre- gorian calendar, eleven days were added. "Washington has been treated unkindly by biographers, who have suppressed such records of his life as did not agree with the picture which they wished to present. "Washington did not have much edu- cation. He was taught reading, writing, and arithmetic by a convict servant. In his diary, which he kept very faithfully, we find many misspelled words. (Continued on page four) Business Education Is Valuable To Everyone By HENRIETTA REISWIG Business and its influence follow one everywhere, regardless of where one may go or what he may do, and to have a knowledge of business is a valuable asset to everyone. John Milton says, "I call therefore a complete and generous educa- tion that which fits a man to perform justly, skillfully, and magnanimously all the offices, both private and public, of peace and war." He believes that men cught to have more than just a vague idea of business and its relations. A business education is very valuable to every man. Suppose that a man is in a business which has two parts, and he knows that somewhere in his business there is something that was causing him to lose. If he has had a business edu- cation, or knows the principles of ac- counting, he can check up on his busi- ness, and in a very short time will find what part is causing the loss, and al- though he may have lost something, he will most probably not have lost nearly as much as the man without a business education.

She writes, "I wish all of you could be here to enjoy the snow and short days. They are about three hours long, one gorgeous sunrise and sunset, The colors are beautiful." She also says, "We had the most wonderful blizzard y esterday that I have ever seen." MEETING OF THE SEMINAR IS HELD "Love" Is Subject Discussed in Seminar Held Friday Evening The Friday evening program of the Gospel Workers' seminar was devoted to the subject of "Love." Fonda Camp- bell discussed the power of the love, un- der the three heads of love to God, the love of money, and the power of love and its relation to faith. She pointed out how some men had been caused to com- mit crimes for their love of money. Love of pleasure, fame, position, she showed, had brought about the downfall of many. In contrast to the results and the power of that kind of love, she showed the great love of God and Christ for man, and the extent to which Christ was willing to go in order that sinners might be saved. The power of love, she declared, is equal to one's power of faith. A reading by Maurine Petersen de- scribed the experience of a husband who had just completed a prison term. His wife, though at first ashamed of him, found that her love for him was more powerful than prison stains, and that she was willing to forget the past, and to receive him back. (Continued on page three) VILLAGE M. V. MEETING 1S HELD Three Questions Considered. Spe- cial Features Are Violin Solo and Reading Three important questions were con- sidered in the Village Young People's meeting Sabbath afternoon: Whence Came My Bible? What Does My Bible Mean to Me? and How Can I Become More Interested in My Bible? The first question was the theme of a very interesting talk by Miss Margaret Reynolds. She traced the history of the Bible as the ancient manuscripts were selected and copied and translated into Lritin , dad lish. "We need not be disappointed, as some people are," said Miss Reynolds, -when they learn that our Bible has come into its present condition through a pro- cess of evolution—a survival of the fit- test. It has survived the criticism of hun- dreds of critics and has stood the test of the ages because it is the inspired word of God." The leader, Mr. Barger, gave a few minutes to a discussion of the second question. - The Bible," he said, - is valu- able not only because it educates and in- spires but because it saves. Several quo- tations from noted persons as to the value of the Bible were read by members of the audience. Professor Schilling discussed the third question by telling how he studies his Bible. He advised the use of one or more of the modern translations as an aid to making the Bible more interesting. He urged Bible readers to become acquainted with the characters, the living conditions, and the special circumstances connected with the writing of each book of the (Continued on page tour) Program Given By Expression Students A varied and interesting program was presented Sunday afternoon by students of expression, under the direction of Mrs. Ivamae Small Hilts. The opening number, "Dikkon's Dog," was read by Jeanette McKibben. This was the story of "Grubbins," a dog-hero of the Civil War. "Wasn't That Just Like Father!" was the title of a selection given by Ruth Nelson. Lucile Kirstein related a touching inci- dent concerning the self-sacrificing spirit of a small orphan girl. This selection was entitled "Angel's Wickedness." In "Wedding Anniversary, - Mrs. Gerald Minchin portrayed the manner in which the anniversary of some nuptials is celebrated. The concluding number was "The Littlest Fellow," read by Esther Miller. Children At Orphanage Entertained with Stories The monthly program was given at the Catholic orphanage Sabbath afternoon. For the little boys, Jeanette McKibben told the story of Edward MacDowell. She and Ada Williams sang a duet, "Our Father's Care." The latter related a story especially for the little girls, about a child who lost her scissors. George Em- e.-y completed the program by playing a cornet solo, "Little Old Church In the Valley."

In response to a re- quest by the director of the Bi-Centennial Anniversary of the birth of Washing- ton, the General Conference of Seventh- day Adventists prepared a sermon to be read in all the churches on February 20. The commission was so pleased with the sermon that it had copies printed to be read in all other churches. The article was read by Pastor R. T. Baer and Pas- tor B. L. House. Some of the points em- phasized in this article are as follows: Just as Moses was chosen to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt, and Cy- rus was called by God one hundred and fifty years before he was born, so George Washington was destined for a special work. Besides being our first president, he was a soldier, agriculturalist, civil engineer, and statesman. He excelled in all of these achievements, and was re- spected in each field. Patrick Henry was asked in 1774 whom he thought was the greatest man in the Continental Congress. He replied that the one having the best judgment was Colonel Washington. (Continued on page four) Visit to Laboratory Proves Interesting BY LUCILE FLEMING The biology laboratory is an interest- ing place to visit. One finds there some things that are pleasant and others that could not be classed that way. The acquarium is very beautiful. In a bed of gravel, stones, and pretty shells, a mermaid rests while the seven gold- fish swim about. Three little turtles stretch their necks to see what is going on in their small world. In a tub near the aquarium are sev- eral leopard frogs and one lazy alli- gator. An acquaintance with these would be better uncultivated, to my notion. A shipment of twelve preserved cats caused no little disgust on the part of some of the biology students. Some of the girls declare if they have to work with one of them they will die. However, I doubt if it will prove so disastrous. The superstitious ones may be sure of bad luck, as there are two black cats in the lot.

WAIT A MINUTE In many respects the race appears to have been gripped by a crazy nervousness. The average man is afflicted with a continual itch to be chasing something, and if he is not, he is swept along on the crest of a wave of aims, mottoes, and campaigns, generously supplied by his friends to take the place of the missing itch. Now that may be all right up to the point where a man becomes a mechanical rabbit chased by that ferocious hound Pep, barking and snapping at his heels. Beyond that, life is no longer a game nor an adventure; it is a battle, a drudgery. A man's soul is no longer his own. He goes to college. Surely those learned halls, rich with the wisdom of ages, will bring quiet to his troubled soul. Not so. He is soon sucked into that mad whirl of "activities," and between them and the effort to lay low that flighty apparition called a degree, his life is one long breathless dance. He even forgets to become educated. Win or lose, he is not assured of peace ,for to the victor belong the squalls. That rare soul who meanders through life at his leisure is re- garded with suspicion or even righteous indignation. According to modern fancy, he has no moral right to take his time. ''Let us then be up and doing," don't you know. Nevertheless, he will be fat and flourishing when the rest of us are still crying for the moon. But all this is merely by way of saying that the long tentacles of this machine age are reaching out to places and people that it should leave untouched. There is a time and a place for everything. We need every machine we have and a few more, but who wants to gobble up his religion or his education slice by slice from a kind of intellectual bread-slicing machine? Things of the spirit don't come that way. G. H. M. DIFFICULTIES IN PRAYER It has been said that whenever an individual comes effectively to Jesus in prayer, he goes away with a problem. The statement, at first thought, may appear paradoxical. Of what use, we might ask, to go to the Lord for counsel if we are only to be answered with another, and perhaps, a graver, question? Are new problems the test of sincere, earnest prayer? Yet, remember that one definition of prayer is "the opening of the heart of God as to a friend." It is conceivable that we might chat a few moments with an acquaintance without receiving any new thoughts, but the conversation of close friends cannot help but in- clude an exchange of ideas. It is not essential to friendship that the two should agree on all points. A true friend gives counsel and en- couragement, yet he does not hesitate to give reproof when it becomes necessary. The Lord may see fit to test the sincerity of our prayers by pre- senting a problem to us. The rich young ruler, although recognizing his need of help, turned away when the answer came. He had been earnest enough to humble himself before the new Teacher, but the result of his prayer frightened him. Like him, many will go away sorrowful when they understand the full meaning of their prayers. Advancement in Christian experience is dependent upon the individual. The Lord will not bring new tasks, with their attendant blessings, to one who slights the opportunities already before him. The problems which arise from earnest prayer should be looked upon as answers to those prayers. These problems may take varied forms. Sometimes one is reminded of a certain thing which must be made right in his own life. It may be that a burden is received to do per- sonal work, to give a few words of encouragement, a friendly greet- ing, a heart-to-heart talk with one who is on the point of surrender- ing to Christ. Our problem may be a strong conviction that the Lord is calling us to a certain life work. Sometimes we are shown a little of the consequences of answers to our prayers to test our desire for that thing for which we are asking. It is possible to pray for something which, when we under , stand the matter more clearly, we would not dare to ask. Whatever the problems which may come from sincere prayer, let us welcome them. They will be to us stepping stones in our Christian experience. B. McC. "buckle on the armor" and attack the problem. We must all work together. PRESIDENT SPEAKS There must be no breaking of ranks. Our needs are many, our problems are many, the obstacles are many; but they are not insurmountable. Union never fails. We are at the crossroads. Next school year should show a marked improvement. And it will. We may get a thousand dollars, or two, from this or that con- ference. That is good, and the more mon- ey we can get the better. But that is not of primary importance. The real sal- vation of Union lies in a larger student body, in thorough co-operation on the part of all—board, administration, faculty, students, field. We believe we have the co-operation. The work now before us is that of larger enrolment. We believe we shall have that also. Chapel Speakers for the Week Are Announced Next Monday, February 29, the speak- er at the chapel hour will be Professor Schilling. He is to speak on Faraday. On Wednesday Miss Rees has the cha- pel hour, while on Friday, March 4, Gwyne Dalrymple, assistant editor of the Signs of the Times, is expected to speak. The foundation of the Virginian Aris- tocracy was wealth. The planters turned all their profits into slaves and land. All the great planters lived on their estates and from their own private wharves, ex- ported the tobacco which English com- mission merchants sold in London and for which they sent in exchange such English commodities as the planter might order. In the planter's home strangers were heartily welcome and royally entertained. Some told their slaves to invite in any traveler that they might see passing by. Others kept servants on the watch for every approaching horseman or the dis- tant rumble of a coach. Quickly then a transformation was wrought. Shirts and jackets were thrown hastily aside and be- fore the visitors had arrived, "a band of idle blacks had become a dozen liveried slaves. - Had it not been for such hospi- tality as this, the lot of the traveler would have been hard, for although the roads going north and south were good, the inns of the South were unbearable. Ow- ing to this custom of free hospitality, Virginia made a law which prevented an innkeeper to collect charges, if he had not made an express agreement with the traveler to lodge him for pay. Robert Beverly, a Virginian historian, tells of this hospitality in a quaint and interest- ing fashion: "The inhabitants are very courteous to travellers. A stranger has only to inquire upon the road where any gentleman or good housekeeper lives and there he may depend upon being received with hospitality. This good nature is so general among their people that the gen- try, when they go agroad, order their principal servant to entertain all visitors with everything the plantation affords. And the poor planters who have but one bed will very often sit up, or lie upon a couch all night, to make room for a weary traveler to rest himself after his journey." The system of education in Virginia was a combination of private tutors, small pay schools and an occasional endowed free school or academy. GoVernor Berk- ley opposed public school education and the scattered plantations made the oper- ation of a school very difficult. The girls, especially, were ill educated. The more wealthy planters obtained tutors from England, Scotland, and the northern col- onies. This advantage of private educa- tion was secured often by the employ- ment as tutors of poor young men of edu- cation who came over occasionally and by indenture sexved long enough to pay the cost of their transportation. All who could, sent their children to England to finish their education even after William and Mary College had been established in 1692. If there were no tutor kept in the home, the son of a landed proprietor might ride every morning attended by a servant to the school in the neighboring parish by a clergyman of the English church. He would then probably attend William and Mary College, spend a winter at Rich- mond and come back to the old hall, an aspirant for a seat in the House of Depu- ties. His opinions respecting forms of government were more or less inherited with his estate which passed from father to son. "The churches of the southern colonies were richly furnished. Many were model- ed in shape after the old English churches and were built of stone. Many of the churches and the chapels-of-ease stood by the water-side, and to the services came the church attendants in canoes. It made an animated scene upon the water as the boats came rowing in and as th y departed after service. Sometimes the seasts were comfortably cushioned and they were carefully assigned. Persons who crowded into pews above their stations, just as in New England, were promptly dispelled. After the services would come the social hour. The old men discussed the last election or the last hunt. Dinner invitations went around, parties were planned and there was a general chang- ing about of the guests that were always filling the Virginian home. In general the southern planter gave more time to recreation than did his friends of northern towns. They favored dancing, card playing, racing, courses and shooting. Living remote from each other on their big plantations, the social life was more in the private homes than in the town centers. Such towns as there were (chiefly Williamsburg) owed their continued existence to the necessities of official life and served as centers to which the wealthy classes resorted for balls, race meetings and assemblies. The men were very much given to drinking and gambl- ing and they dearly loved horse-racing. Funerals, weddings, the Sunday church services, the muster of the militia and the county court day were the occasions of large gatherings of the people from all parts of the colony. Funerals were ob- served by feasting, drinking and fusillades of small arms. At such times, drinking even to the point of intoxication was customary until Edmund Watts declared in his will that no strong drink be pro- vided or spent when he was buried. Much revelry and drunkenness, fighting and contests attended the county court day. The Virginia city balls and country dances were strenuous affairs. Often they began by daylight and ended with the next daylight. Fiddling was an accomp- lishment highly esteemed. Horse races were the favorite amuse- ment of the time and were usually fol- lowed by a ball which they caller, the Assembly. Even though the colonial law specified that horse racing was a sport for "gentlemen alone" every class in the com- munity was drawn to the race track when the possibility of a match between local favorites was rumored. Victory was earn- estly desired not only because of stakes and side bets involved, but because of the owner's pride in his mount. There was much inter-colonial rivalry in these horse races and each side was just as earnest and enthusiastic over its representative as the modern high school students are for the success of their football team. Many southern gentlemen, like Robert Carter of Nomini Hall, enjoyed the rac- ing of small boats, manned by negro oars —men. The rivalry between such crews was seldom keen but the contests furn- ished a pleasing diversion incidental to the ball which was often the chief at- traction. Fox hunting was known in Virginia as early as the seventeenth century before it became popular in England, and its popularity increased as the social ac- tivities of later generations expanded. At the sound of winding horns the neigh- boring gentlemen gathered at the appoint- ed meeting place, each accompanied by his favorite dogs and a negro to manage them during the preliminaries of the chase. The hunters, usually representing the landed aristocracy of the district, were mounted on fine horses which nervously awaited the sending in of the hounds. When the scent left behind by Reynard in his nightly rambles was struck, the dogs pushed forward to follow the trail throughout its various turnings. The wily fox once roused from his hiding place, led an exciting chase through field and woodland, over fence and stream "with hunters and hounds in full cry." Much more could be written of the social life in Virginia, but this survey may help us to appreciate more fully the factors which made up the character of the state which gave to America and to us such a rich background of culture and patriotism as shown in the lives of her many sons, of whom we too are proud. WASHINGTON By RUTH WIEST The history of Virginia dates back to the first settlement made at Jamestown by the London Company in the year 1606, but the character of Virginia was mould- ed by the Cavalier. It was the immigra- tion of 1660-1690 which gave to us the the ancestors of the Harrisons, Jeffersons Madisons, Randolphs, Washingtons, and Lees, and gave to the Old Dominion her proud title "The Mother of Presidents." The Virginia pla-iter was a transplanted Englishman with English tastes and the culture of his mother country, and from them a society was formed which was distinguished for its refinement, execu- tive ability and generous hospitality. The early Virginian mansion was us- ually of wood, for it dated back to a time when the country did not furnish permanent building materials except at great expense, neither skilled architects to use them. When prosperity and wealth increased through the profitable crops of tobacco, the houses improved. There was not only the spacious mansion for the planter, with its pleasant porch, but also separate buildings in which were a kit- chen, cabins for the negro servants, and the overseer, a stable, barn, coach-house, hen-house, a smoke-house, dove-cote, and milk room. The most representative southern plantation house was of brick with wings, the kitchens on one side and the carriage-house on the other, some- times attached directly to the central man- sion and sometimes entirely separate or connected only by a corridor. This cor- ridar effect is well illustrated in the pic- ture of Washington's home at Mount Vernon. In architecture, the early houses re- sembled English feudal castles. While the seventeenth century was the period of wooden houses, wooden churches, and wooden public buildings, the eighteenth century saw the erection of brick build- ings in America. The governing aristoc- racy kept always in the closest touch with English developments. The proprietors of the large houses traveled frequently to England and often sent their children back to the mother country to be educat- ed. These young people returned to the colonies keenly desirous of importing the best of everything they had seen and experienced in England. Moreover the great wealth of many of the manors al- lowed the continuous importation of all sorts of objects of use or luxury. A quick- er reaction to the growing classicism of English architecture than in the north (Continued on page three) CHATS ON HOME- MAKING Directed by Miss MINNIE OLSON The ever present demand of the fam- ily is for food. What shall we eat to- day? This is the ever present question. Upon food depends the health and con- tentment of the family. One woman said she had done nothing but think about food and hadn't cooked a thing. The time spent in planning food and food combinations is not lost. Sometimes women are so taken up with actual cooking that they lose sight of the large number of planning problems that would save time in the end. One cannot solve a management prob- lem if he does not recognize what it is. We have to know what the needs of the family are if we are going to solve them. We cannot lower the cost of food if we are not conscious of those problems. Be- low are listed a few of the problems a woman must meet in planning food for the family: See that we have fresh fruit and green vegetables daily. Plan for the children and also for the adults. The mother has to plan to some extent for the individual tastes of various members of the family. There is a great deal of difference in catering to the peo- ple's tastes and planning for the individ- ual tastes. If people do dislike some things don't serve them too many times. Average your meals so that you do not have a famine one day and a feast the next; keep costs balanced. Find out the cheapest way to buy your food for the size of your family. Have an emergency shelf and keep it stocked to prevent embarrassment when unexpected company comes. By M. L. ANDREASEN Union College is a Christian college. It stands for certain ideals. It cannot at- tain to these unless it has a faculty and a student body that co-operate in put- ting these into effect. A faculty alone cannot do it. A student body alone can- not do it. There must be a harmonious working together of all for the attain- ment of the ends sought. The Board of Trustees at the recent meeting in Omaha gave serious considera- tion to the future of the school. They realize the effect the depression has had on our work, but are confident that bet- ter days are ahead. They want us to plan for a bigger and better Union. They are in favor of the establishment of in- dustries carried on in an efficient way to provide work for the students. They are in favor of a faculty that meets the high standard set for Christian teachers and who also hold the requisite degrees for accreditation. They are in favor of providing the necessary facilities for car- rying forward class work in an effective way that will meet with the approval of standardizing agencies. They will help us to work out our own salvation. They believe In Union. It is now for faculty and students to "Kind words are the music of the world."—Faber.

MILLER PAINE - - and thrift - - COMING-- OSCAR BENNET--Baritone Instructor In Voice At Nebraska Wesleyan University IN Clock Tower Benefit Program union College Chapel March 5 YOUTH MUST SOLVE FOUR PROBLEMS Pastor House Declares Study of Bible and Love for God Are Essential -The four great problems for every young man and young woman to solve are the ones of religion, education, voca- tion, and marriage," stated Professor B. L. House in his chapel talk Monday. The youth who has solved these problems is well on his way to happiness. -The solution of the first of these, re- ligion, will help in the meeting of all other problems. This can be settled by us while quite young. The two important phases of religion are a profound love for the Book of God, and a profound love for the Christ of God." Statements from several famous men were read concerning their beliefs in the value and importance of Bible study. "Patrick Henry once stated that the Bible is worth all the other books ever pub- lished," the speaker said. - Thomas Jef- ferson declared that a study of the Bible makes better citizens, husbands, and fath- ers. Abraham Lincoln considered the Bi- ble the best gift which God has ever given to man. "Webster attributed everything worth- while in his style or his thought to the love of the Bible imparted to him by his parents in his childhood. Speaking of its effect upon the nation, he declared that the nation will prosper only so long as the people continue to abide by the truths of the Bible. Woodrow Wilson also recog- nized the effect of Bible study upon the citizens of a country when he said that a part of the destiny of America lies in a daily perusal of the Scriptures by the people. "It was the custom of John Quincy Adams to begin each day with a reading of a portion of the bible. The earlier his children began to read the Bible, he once said, the sooner they would become good citizens. Practically all men of great achievements have based their work on the teachings of Christ, said Roosevelt. - Roosevelt also called attention to the influence upon good taste and good lit- erature which a study of the Bible exerts. In an age in which there is so much worthless reading matter being published, Ruskin, too, said that he owed the best part of his taste in literature to daily Bible study." Professor House discussed certain ques- tions which are answered in the Bible. The first of these, he stated, was a true conception of God. "We would be well repaid," he said, "if we found nothing else in reading the Bible. "It is a law of psychology that we are changed to our ideals, therefore the view which we have of God means more than might be recognized. Satan seeks to keep from us this correct view of God. "The record of the origin and destiny a man," the speaker stated, "is found only in the scriptures." It is the Bible, he pointed out, which gives man his true dignity as an offspring of God, and opens to all an opportunity for eternal advance- ment. "Many things in the world cannot be understood without the Bible, such as sickness, death, prisons, and hospitals," he said. "The answer is sin, which has given the human race a bent toward dis- obedience." Speaking of the adaptability of the Bible, it was stated that in it can be seen the working out of every passion of the soul, and the conscience. "Supreme in the New Testament is the setting forth of the Christ," Professor House said. "Matthew, a Jew, showed him to be a king, and stressed the fact that Christ's life was a fulfilment of prophecy. Mark, writing to the Romans, described the things of action in the life of Jesus. Luke, the Greek physician, wrote of the Son of Man, who came to seek and save the lost. John presented the most lofty conception of Christ as the Son of God. "The Bible teaches the truth, solves problems, and offers comfort. It chal- lenges the intellect, the emotions, the will, and the moral nature of man."

The first part of his life was spent in writing opera, but at the age of fifty-three, he started writing oratorios. "Sacred music," he said, best suited to a man des- cending in the vale of years." "The Mes- siah" is the best known of all his works. \,Vhen it was performed for the first time in London on March 23, 1743, the audi- ence was exceedingly affected by the music and when the "Hallelujah Chorus" vas sung, it was so overcoming that the king, with all who were present, started at once to his feet and stood until the close. The custom of standing during the Hallelujah chorus originated there. Handel was a very rapid writer and wrote "The Messiah in twenty-four days. He sometimes wrote two or three settings for the same words and then chose the best. He is at his best as a vocal and above all as a choral writer. BUSINESS EDUCATION IS VALUABLE (Continued from page two) Business affects the social world in ev- ery way. The one and big thing the so- cial world judges the majority of people by is their amount of money. America has no measure by titles, but there is a .aeasure by wealth, and to be a success in the mind of the social world a man must have wealth. He must have the means to buy the kind of house and furnishings for that house to show the world that he as ac- complished something. He must have the money to buy the necessary clothes, and more than the necessary clothes if he is to be counted among those who are successful. Money is not the sole end for which business should be pursued, but to the majority of people it has become a great factor in their lives because of the American standard. Man has been affected by the change that has taken place in our industries. In the days of our forefathers practically eve; yth'ng that was necessary for the family was made at home. Today, with each one specializing in husiness, each has to depend on the other -for some necessities. Hence, business and its laws come into existence. To understand these ;ows and their working, a student must study just as much as if he wished to become a botanist or any other man of science. Everyone ought to know and understand, to a certain extent, the laws of business because of the effect which those :aws have on his life. Honor Edison and Lindberg Young Women Devote Club Meeting to February Birthdays February is a month of famous birth- days. At the meeting of the Young Wo- men's club Wednesday evening, a few interesting facts about two famous men of this month were noted. Dorothy Aultfather gave an analysis of the life and character of Thomas Edison. It was shown that his work always came first, and that he sacrified much, both materially and physically, for the cause of invention. His tastes were simple, she said. At the conclusion of Miss Aultfather's talk, Fonda Campbell sang "I Will Take You Back, Kathleen, - Edison's favorite song. Anecdotes of the "Lone Eagle" were told by Ada Wliliams. Young people should be especially proud of Colonel Lindberg, Miss Williams declared, be- cause he is a part of the younger genera- tion. Marguerite Priest and Oleta Phillips sang "A Perfect Day," accompanied by Mildred Priest on the violin. WASHINGTON (Continued from page two) was thus seen. The houses grew more elaborate with their hip roofs, four chim- neys instead of two, carved doors and two storied porches. In the latter part of the eighteenth century, architecture in the South began to give way to one storied structures built up from the ground due to climatic conditions. Gothic and Roman influences were seen in the ad- dition of the large porticos with their huge colinades. Thomas Jefferson took great interest in this type of architecture and his home with those of James Madi- son, Robert E. Lee, and George Wash- ington, are excellent examples. It was in the internal arrangements, however, that the good taste and the wealth of the owner were most apparent. Costly and beautiful household furnish- ings appeared; the furniture was carved and upholstered in leather and rich fa- brics; tables set off with silver, china, glassware; and the walls were hung with expensive papers and decorated with paintings and engravings imported from abroad. Such an house was not unlikely to contain a mahogany dining table with a capacity for seating from fourteen to twenty persons and the same number of Russian chairs. Family portraits and framed pictures of hunting scenes, still life, ships and humorous subjects hung on the wall, or above the mantel. On the cupboard and on the side-board would be silver plates and sets of the best Eng- lish china, ivory-handled knives and forks, glass, tablecloths and napkins, brass chafing dishes and steel plate warmers. In the bedrooms were pier glasses and bedsteads in many forms and colors, of mahogany and other woods. The bedsteads were supplied with hair mattresses and feather beds, woolen blank- ets and linen and adorned with silk, damask or chintz curtains and valances. Mosquito nets were made from Russian gauze or lawn, for mosquitoes were a great pest to the colonists. The richer planters and merchants not only wore foreign fabrics but copied them. Scarcely a letter went out from a Virginia planter, which did not contain a personal order for articles of clothing for himself or family and hardly a cap- tain sailed for England who did not bear commissions of one kind or another. The orders would include linen, silk, sheeting, blankets, poplin, lawn, for the house; breeches, coats, riding coats, boots, bea- ver hats, pumps, wigs, stockings, waist- coats, for the planter; for the wife it might include a whalebone coat, a hoop coat, a quilted coat, flowered damask shoes, silk shoes, kid gloves, straw hats, silk hose, quilted petticoats, a riding habit, an evening dress, dress goods, handker- chiefs, etc. All clothes, even those fairly simple and worn by people of moderate means, were adorned with buttons made of brass and other metals, pearl or cloth covered. The women wore hats of either silk or straw, hoods of velvet or silk and hose of silk or plush. For minor adornments ladies carried fans and wore girdles with buckles; but as a rule they possessed lit- tle jewelry except necklaces and a vari- ety of finger rings. The men also wore rings. For outside wear men wore great coats; women, coats and mantillas often scarlet and blue while the children and others wore splatterdashes and long leg- gings. In rain the men wore oilcloth capes while the ladies wore a protective petti- coat. Wigs were worn by men of all ranks. (Concluded next week) ANDREASEN IS CHAPEL SPEAKER (Continued from page one) For a reply the speaker read Psalms 89:34, "My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my mouth." Commenting upon this verse, President Andreasen said, "If God has altered that which He spoke with His own voice, then we can not depend upon Him. If he has altered that one thing, per- haps He has altered other things. But we know that God has not altered. He has made a covenant through Christ, and He will not break it. In spite of our failures, He will stand by it. "If there is anything God appreciates, it is dependability," asserted the speaker. "Then that trait must be uppermost in God Himself. That which is fundamental in God's government will not be changed nor altered throughout eternity. 'Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.' " The speaker also declared that God had chosen the fourth command- ment to bring a test to all in the last days. "I am happy," he said, "for a place among the people who will be among those vindicated when Jesus comes for His people." An assurance that President Hoover's name will be entered in the Ohio pri- maries came from the white house as the first open battle move of the chief executive's renomination campaign. Spanish Club Finds Spanish Games Interesting BY CLINTON VON POHLE The most interesting meeting of the Spanish club, "Los Camaradas Espanol- es," that has been held this year, was conducted Monday evening, with the first-year students as the guests of honor. With just an even dozen present, it was possible to have a lot of fun translating English and American games into Span- ish. The first game, which was introduced by Calvin Gordon, president of the club, was the old fashioned - Spin the platter. - A Spanish "numero" was called, and the one who held that number rushed to try to catch the plate before it fell. A musical selection, "Twilight," by Guy, followed, played on the piano by Mrs. H. B. Christianson. To the uninitiated, the next game might have seemed strange indeed, for various members of the club were seen bowing before others and making strange noises. They were then patted on the head, while the patter murmured something about "pobre gatita." However, inquiry would have revealed that this was nothing more nor less than the Spanish version of "Poor Pussy." Another game was the writing of as many of the Spanish names as possible of the objects in the room, while prizes were offered as incentives. Many and strange were some of the things that were found by some. One even went so far as to say that there were mosquitos there, but this was received rather scepti- cally by the rest, who thought that the writer may have had in mind some of the other members. Prize winners were Hazel Brebner and Harry Craig. In honor of its being Washington's birthday, candy bars, decorated with the little hatchet of cherry tree fame, were distributed by Mrs. Christianson. Another musical number, "El Rojo, El Blanco, y El Azul," was sung by Harry Craig, and we had to run to get to worship on time. We want all who are interested in Spanish to attend our next meeting, and enjoy these good times with us. Watch for the announcement of the special pro- gram to be offered soon.

These chemicals ranged from orange blossoms to carbon bisulphide. I have heard people speak of having "a skeleton in their closet," but I had never seen one until I went into the laboratory. There in a nice closet stood Mr. I. Am A. Skelton. You have all heard the story of Marley's ghost rat- tling his chains. Well, I could hear that skeleton rattle his bones.

Unionite Writes of Missionary Work Among Chinese (Editor's note: The author of the follow- ing article reprinted from the North Paci- fic Union Gleaner is Raymond H. Hart- well, brother of Donald Hartwell, a stu- dent at Union this year. Mrs. Hartwell, formerly Iva Hamel, is a graduate of Union. Mr. and Mrs. Hartwell are mis- misionaries in China.) Probably many or most of you won- der just what it must be like to live in China. Often our friends have strange ideas regarding China and the Chinese. Perhaps you think first about chop-sticks, men with braided hair, girls with bound feet, and many other customs which first originated in this country. Most of you have heard about the three great re- ligions of China,—namely, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism—but in recent years a great interest has been taken by nearly every foreign mission society in the world in the task of giving the gospel of Christ to this great nation. Many have come from other lands and they have gathered about them groups of native believers who have gradually assumed responsi- bility, until at the present time the native evangelists far outnumber the foreign mis- sionaries. Often individuals are found who inani- fest an anti-Christian spirit, and who heartily oppose the work of missions. Then again there is still a larger group, who, while not actively offering to hinder the propagation of Christianity, really con- sider it a foolish business in which to engage. Also there is a vastly larger class or people who are wholly uncon- cerned with the success or failure of the mission project, and these people are located in every land beneath the sun. But thanks be to our heavenly Father, there is yet one class who are whole- heartedly determined to use every ounce of energy they possess to carry the mes- sage of a crucified, risen, and soon com- ing Saviour to the whole world in this generation. This last group includes mis- sion work in China in their program of evangelization. It is to this last class that the members of the Sabbath schools throughout the world belong. They are the ones who are making the sacrifices, sending up the prayers, and doing all in their power to make the work of mis- sionaries succeed even in the great land of China. From a human view-point the great- ness of the task in itself would make it impossible, and we should be tempted to feel that even four months until the harvest would be far too short a time for sane people to expect anything. But we are plainly told that with God all things are possible and that the fields are white already for harvest. With such plain facts presented by One who is the True Witness we press forward with courage knowing that the enemy has but a short time to hold out the warfare against Christ and His church. As an- other Thirteenth Sabbath rolls around, and the opportunity comes again, will you not each one grasp the chance to secure the liberty from the prison house of sin for some of your Chinese neighbors in China, by giving again, and giving more than ever to the Thirteenth Sabbath Offering. Victory is in sight, but how important that each of us should have a part in these last battles, doing our best to hasten the glad day. RAYMOND H. HARTWELL. Weekly Review of World Affairs BY HAROLD LINCOLN (Continued from page one) ditional salary has been received; how- ever, the teachers continue to teach. The cloud of war hangs heavy and dark over the Shanghai situation and we find that Chinese and Japanese troops were massing 75,000 men to resume an- other artillery duel over Chapel. Heavy bombardment continued and Japanese planes gave range to the positions of the Chinese, while Shanghai shook from the heavy charges of Japans heavy artillery. A concerted move for peace was made by Chinese and Japanese officials which it resulted was of no avail. A Japanese ultimatum demanding that the Chinese troops retire 12 1 miles back from Shang- hai was refused by the Chinese, who like- wise demanded that the Japanese retire an equal distance. Japan, taking the ag- gressive, began fighting on the front line in the Chapei sector with terrific bom- bardment on the Chinese sector. Heavy casualties were reported by the Chinese as they began to weaken. Latest reports find the Japanese guns bombarding the Chinese front from Chapei to Woosung. The Japanese troops entered the eastern end of Kiankwano Sunday under a com- bined attack of artillery, tanks, airplanes, and infantry. The battle was becoming fiercer. More than 4,000 girls are sold in the white slave traffic annually, declared Rachel Crowdy, chief of the social sec- tion of the League of Nations. These girls, most of them under fourteen years old, are sold for about 3 million dollars. LOD dE CC.

DICK (Continued from page one) "Young Washington grew up like an Indian prince. He lived on a large plan- tation and had a negro servant. The plan- tations of Virginia were little worlds in themselves. As a rule they were located on the banks of large rivers, and had wharves, where ships came to take the planters' tobacco, and to bring back in exchange supplies from England. "At the age of fourteen Washington made out a list of 110 rules for himself, many of which were taken from copy- books of the period. Some of these rules are very simple, and are not mentioned in our etiquette books because they are generally understood. "When a young man, Washington learned the essentials of surveying from George Fairfax, a neighbor eight years his senior. His ability along this line helped him in his work at Ft. Duquesne. "At the age of twenty-one he was made major of the militia. He had com- mand of several hundred men and a large section of country in Virginia. "Stability and dependability are shown in his trip across several ranges of moun- tains to carry a message to the French fort at the head waters of the Ohio river." HITLER IS SUBJECT IN HISTORY CLUB (Continued from page one) "His parents were of the middle class. In his youth he was influenced by one of his teachers to see the glory of the future Germany. He wanted to be an artist, but was forced into other lines of work. At the outbreak of the war, he was an architect. In the German army he made a brilliant record. "He chose Bavaria for his field of action and Volkisher Bcobachter was his mouthpiece. Bavaria at this time was in Marvin Meeker, a student at Union the first semester, is teaching in an eleven grade church school at Guilberttown, Alabama. Mr. Meeker is the preceptor and teaches geometry, algebra, penman- slit!), gardening, and Bible history in grades 8-11. North Hall young women anticipate an unusually large audience at their pro- gram which is to be given Saturday evening, February 27. The girls are put- ting a great deal of effort into the pro- gram, and they feel confident that it will be a success. Miss Hazel Olsen spent the week end in Lincoln visiting at the home of Pastor and Mrs. M. B. Butterfield. Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Humana of Win- ton, Nebraska, spent Sabbath and Sun- day at the home of Mrs. Humann's moth- er, George Hoffman. Mr. J. H. Bradley, vice-president of the Union bank, is back at his desk after more than two weeks siege of double- pneumonia. Miss Iva Mae Crouse, of Minneapolis, Minnesota, arrived Thursday. Miss Crouse has accepted the position as sten- ographer in the newly combined Union office. The bi-weekly meeting of L'Echo de Paris" took place Wednesday evening, February 17. An interesting program of music and readings was presented under the leadership of vice-president Wallace Nethery. Miss Henrietta Reiswig spent the week end in Omaha, visiting her sister. Misses Ruth Shulte, Opal Andrews, and Hester Mathes visited friends in Murdock, Nebraska, on Friday and Sab- bath. A patriotic program honoring Lincoln's birthday was given last Wednesday night at the Union church by the women of the Lincoln club. Monday night a pro- gram was given honoring Washington's birthday. strong favor of nationalism. It is usually the middle class of people who belong to his party and they believe in the fidelity and brotherhood of Germans everywhere. It is estimated that by 1923 he had 200,- 000 followers. "He travels to address political meet- ings. He is a thin, medium-sized man, nervous, appears to be overworked, has black, curly hair and a mustache. He despises women, yet they adore him, call- ing him "beautiful Adolph." He speaks with perfect self-control and appeals to them greatly. Youth idolize him. He ap- pears as a saviour to his people. "As soon as they get into power, they will reconstruct the treaty of Versailles ax.c1 restore Germany to what she was before 1914. Such a program would not interfere with England and Italy, but they would have to be considered. German conditions will continue to improve. Hohenzollerns will not rule again; the JEWS will be expelled from the country and Germans invited to come in. The na- tion will be one of iron and strength." RELIGIOUS LIBERTY SER- MON IS READ (Continued from page one) George Washington wds always a de- vout church member. His mother did not want him to go to war, but he told her he trusted in the God she had taught him to worship. Washington believed in religious lib- erty as well as civil liberty. He wrote in a letter that he would never have signed the constitution if he thought it would mean religious restriction in any way. He believed the purpose of a national gov- ernment was to promote good citizenship and not to deny the privilege of wor- shipping as he pleased. The individual has certain rights which cannot be taken away by legislation unless that individual has forfeited all rights. The minority should be protected by the vote of the majority. Some of the Christian churches wished to be recognized in the constitution by religious legislation, but President Wash- ington very wisely said that the govern- ment was not based on the Christian re- ligion. He opposed any measure which would make religion a test for the hold- ing of any civil office. He believed in preserving civil and religious liberty both in letter and in spirit. Religious liberty remains secure as long as the people cherish these ideals. It is a heritage not to be forfeited. Only on such high prin- ciples as George Washington stood for, will our government continue to prosper. WOMAN'S PART IN MIS- SIONS TOLD (Continued from page one) with the 126 who had studied daily. Miss Fonda Campbell sang, accompan- ied by Miss Williams at the organ. Mrs. Alton Hughes told of the duties of the missionary wife and mother. "These duties are many and heavy in spite of household servants. The Chinese cook must be instructed carefully in ev- ery detail. A woman must make the mis- sion home ideal in every way. It must be a place which will be conducive of rest and peace and which is a model for the Chinese mothers. "But this is only a beginning, for she must study the language at least one hour each day with a teacher. In places where there is no church school she must teach her children every day. This is the con- dition in the interior, but where there is a church school she must teach one or two classes in it every day. "Every woman who goes to the mis- sion field should know how to type and keep books, because this job falls to her when her husband is gone for months at a time, for the report must be sent to headquarters regularly. This report should he neat and accurate. "On the other hand she must be ready to go with her husband at any time. There are many tasks which only a woman can do for the Chinese women; for example, she must give the treatments required when the feet are unbound. "One of her most important duties is the conducting of mothers' meetings regu- lar: , / , in which the mothers are taught how to care for their children. The in- mt mortality rate is extremely high. Mothers feed their babies turnips, pea- nuts, etc., when they are sick. They knew nothing about how to care for their sick children. But they are willing to learn when they see that it is really worth while." Mrs. Hughes said, "The mission mother and wife should even know how to cut hair If you could see the way some men in the interior look when turned loose after their wives had cut their hair you would understand. But the most import- ant thing for the mission wife and mother is a real experience with God." VILLAGE M. V. MEETING IS HELD (Continued from page one) Bible. He believes that the Bible can easily become the most interesting book if it is studied intelligently, and regu- larly, and reverently. Special features of the program were a violin solo by Miss Theodora Ridge- way and a reading, "Angel's Wicked. ness," by 'Miss Lucile Kirstein. A D V E R I S I E T N H E C L C K E R IT PAYS BIBLE STUDIES CONTINUED IN HOMES Studies Given in Three Lincoln Homes by Young Ladies in Spanish Language Possibility for a second series of Span- ish Bible studies was discovered Sab- bath afternoon by Bessie McCumsey in her visit to a home in Lincoln where studies have been resumed. The woman, an American, invited her Spanish brother- in-law, who was in the home, to take part. Since the study, which dealt with the United States in prophecy, was given in Spanish, he appeared interested in the subject, and promised to attend the study which will be conducted in Spanish. At the Spanish study given by Hazel Brebner on "The Mark of the Beast," the readers displayed considerable inter- est in the way in which current history portrays the fulfilling of the prophecy of "The Image of the Beast." A third study in the same community was given by Luella Coleman. At the request of the young woman with whom the study was held, Miss Coleman pre- sented the subject of divine healing. At the close of each study a copy of the texts used is left in the home and these pages the woman places on the wall so that she can read them over during the week. OPPORTUNITIES HERE (Continued from page one) accompanied them to the home. It was found that the young daughter, now eighteen years of age, has been keeping the Sabbath, and expresses her desire to have the privilege of attending church and Sabbath school, while the father inquired about our prayer meet- ings. The father has invited us to come out to his home any time. Tears streamed down his face as he bade us good-by and asked us to visit the home again. I wonder how many other souls are waiting for some one to manifest an in- terest in them and lead them to the feet of the Savior. ANDREASEN IS VESPER SPEAKER (Continued from page one) changed this, He has altered Hs word. -The Seventh-day Adventists believe in the second-coming of Christ. Thinking men today are preaching of the end of civilization. They say the next world war will bring the end of civilization. Unless the human nature working in the nations today changes radically that world war will come soon. -Our belief on the state of the dead is sometimes called a gloomy doctrine. Any act of disobedience however small has serious consequences involved. Heaven has been always pictured as a place of peace, joy, and happiness. It is also a place of tears and sorrow. The destruction of the world at the time of the flood, the death of the prophets, the crucifixion of Christ, the persecutions of millions dur- ing the Dark Ages—could these scenes viewed from heaven cause anything but tears and sorrow? "The health reform which this denom- ination has advocated is being accepted generally. All the health foods on the market today are the result of what this people has done. Peanut butter was un- known until we made it." President Andreasen pointed out the inconsistency of scientifically planning the food to be given animals, yet dis- regarding the needs of the human body. He stated that health reform had proved practical in his own case, since he is the only one remaining of seven children. 'I believe in a gospel that takes hold, not merely of the spiritual nature of man, but of the intellectual and physical as well, - he declared. Other subjects discussed were those of baptism and the Spirit of Prophecy. Speaking of immersion, the speaker showed that mode of baptism to be the only form which could fitly represent a complete cleansing from sin, and a death to the old life. "We need a pilot as we near the harbor," he declared, speaking of the Spirit of Prophecy. 331 P 1.2,1 1 Y
