*School Examinations 
THREE final examinations have been prepared by the 
Educational department of the Central Union Confer-
ence for pupils finishing the 8th, gth, or loth grade in 
our church or intermediate schools. The first of these 
examinations is for the schools which close in March, 
the second for those closing in April, and the third 
for those closing in May. 
Eighth-grade pupils, in order to receive a diploma, 
will be required to pass an examination in the follow-
ing subjects: Bible, reading, U. S. history, U. S. 
constitution (elementary), arithmetic, grammar, or-
thography, geography, physiology, and penmanship. 
The subjects required of the gth . grade are civil 
government, life of Christ, elementary botany, ad-
vanced English, advanced arithmetic; and of the zoth 
grade, general history, Bible doctrines, rhetoric and 
algebra. 
As descriptive geography is finished in the 7th 
grade, all 7th-grade pupils desiring to do so may take 
the examination in this subject, and if they pass sat-
isfactorily and have their grade recorded by their con-
ference superintendent, they will be exempt from the 
geography examination next year. All 8th grade pupils 
of this year who passed the union conference exam-
ination last year will not be required to repeat it this 
year. 
All of the schools desiring to hold either of these 
examinations should notify their conference superin-
tendent, stating which examination is desired, and 
how many copies of the questions are needed. Upon 
the receipt of such information, the conference super-
intendent will record the name, and at the proper 
time send the needed questions. All questions are 
sent out in sealed envelopes, which are to be opened 
on the morning of the examination and in the pres-
ence of the candidates, but not before. After the ex-
aminations are over, the pupil's manuscripts are sent 
to the conference superintendent for grading, and the 
diplomas are issued by the Union and state confer- 
ences jointly. �

President's Annual Report 
(Continued) 
A PROPOSED REMEDY 
To relieve this situation, it has been proposed that 
a cottage be rented for the Music department, and 
that the partitions which were put in to accommodate 
this department be removed and the rooms be restored 
to the German department, as originally intended. If 
a cottage were rented to accommodate the Music de-
partment, this building might also be utilized as liv-
ing rooms for some of the music teachers and certain 
pupils who are giving their time principally to the 
study of music. 
THE NORMAL DEPARTMENT AND THE MODEL SCHOOL 
This subject leads naturally to that of the Normal 
department and its relation to the model church-school. 
The same crowded condition exists here. When the 
Board was in session a year ago it was expected that 
the present church-school building would be remod-
eled mid enlarged and perhaps transferred to the 
campus for the use of the model school and the Nor-
mal department. It was thought these improvements 
would cost about three thousand dollars, half of which 
was to he borne by the College and the Central Union 
Conference, and half by the College View church. At 
one meeting the church subscribed a thousand dollars 
of its portion; but when more careful estimates were 
made it was found that the improvements could not 
be made without costing from four to five thousand 
dollars. This led the Model School Board to post-
pone the erection of a building for at least one year. 
Accordingly, arrangements were made for the first 
five grades to occupy the gymnasium of the College, 
and this room was divided and temporarily fitted up 
to accommodate the school for the present year. But 
now a new difficulty presents itself. This school, 
which numbered 15o members last year, has increased 
to about two hundred the present yer, and it is esti-
mated that to errect such a building as seems to be 
needed would cost from six to eight thousand dollars. 
2 �
THE EDUCATIONAL MESSES GEE 
This matter has been recently considered by the 
Model School Board and several leading brethren who 
were called together for counsel, and it was quite 
generally agreed that it would not be feasible at pres-
ent to attempt to raise the money needed for such a 
building. The only other plan that seems possible is 
to continue the use of the gymnasium and to assign 
to the Normal department some other rooms that 
could be freed if the Music department should find 
quarters in a rented cottage. By this arrangement 
our needs would be temporarily supplied, at the 
loss, however, of the gymnasium to the College 
students. It has been thought that this loss might 
be in part made up by constructing an out-door 
gymnasium on the open campus east of the build-
ings. Such a gymnasium, however, could be used 
only in fair weather. 
STANDING OF THE COLLEGE 
The intellectual work of the school continues to 
stand at a high level. Last spring the State Board 
of College inspectors visited Union College and made 
the following report to the State Superintendent:— 
"On Thursday, April 25th, two members of the 
committee, visited Union College. 
"This institution does not ask recognition this year 
on the basis of the State Normal School. Next year, 
though, a full normal course will be entered upon, and 
observation and practise work done in a strong model 
school. 
"This year recognition on the basis of the Univer-
sity of Nebraska is sought. We recommend that 
such recognition be granted, inasmuch as the stand-
ard of college work and the special courses in edu-
cation are fully as high as other like institutions in 
the state. In fact, we count this school one of the 
strongest of the denominational institutions. 
"In equipment, in library, in buildings, in faculty, 
and in financial backing, we rate this college as first 
class. 
"The courses offered in industrial work are not 
equalled in any other college or university in Ne-
braska, with the possible exception of the University 
of Nebraska. 
"President Lewis has promised to file in your 
office, at once, a report on the preparation and exper-
ience of his faculty." 
THE NORMAL DEPARTMENT 
Since allusion has been made to the Normal depart-
ment, this may be the most natural place to speak of 
the work of that department during the past two 
years. While there have been many discouragements, 
especially in the matter of securing a suitable place 
for conducting the model school, yet we feel that a 
sure and safe foundation for our normal school work 
has been laid. It has been real pioneer work. While 
there are many normal schools, yet there are none 
which teach the methods of Christian education as 
viewed from our standpoint. Methods of teaching 
all of the common subjects in all of the church school 
grades have had to be developed. This work has 
gone steadily forward under the able leadership of the 
director of the department, who has been somewhat 
handicapped in her work by the fact that she has had 
to carry on at the same time the preparation of text 
books which had been begun, or promised, before she 
took charge of our Normal department. This work, 
also, has proved, and will continue to prove, of ines-
timable benefit, not only to the teachers of our Normal 
department, but to the teachers of the denomination 
throughout the world. If plans can be laid whereby 
more room, better facilities, and additional teaching 
help can be provided for this department, we believe 
it is destined to become one of the strongest and 
most useful departments in the college. 
THE MEDICAL PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT 
There has heen a good degree of progress and pros-
perity in this department. Three Union College stu-
dents have completed the first half of the medical 
course at Lincoln and are now finishing their work in 
Omaha. Seven more have just entered upon their 
work at the Nebraska University. The profes-
sors at the University are very friendly to our cause 
and speak in the highest terms of our students because 
of their temperate habits, their earnest purpose, and 
their efficient work. Dean Ward, of the Medical de-
partment and Professor Harrison, the registrar of 
the University, have both spoken this winter by let-
ter, of the excellent work done by our students. The 
Medical department of the University has recently 
raised its standard of scholarship for entrance, and it 
has within a few weeks been recognized by the Royal 
College of Physicians and Surgeons in London, so 
that its graduates may be received immediately for 
examination in all countries under Brittish rule. By 
the new standard of admission, students are required 
to have finished an academic, or high school course 
in some academy or high school approved by the Uni-
versity, and in addition one year of college work in an 
approved college; and they give notice that the stan-
dard will in IgIo be raised to two years of college 
work. With this new standard in vogue, it has 
seemed best for Union College to make application to 
the University for recognition and approval of our 
academic work and also of our college work. This 
matter is now before the University authorities for 
consideration and action. �
If Union College and 
academy are placed on the accredited list of the Uni-
versity, then those who have finished the academic 
course and have taken two years' work in the Col-
lege, will be received directly, without question or 
examination, upon our certification of these facts, to 
work in the medical department. �
Practically, this 
has been done in the past, although the definite agree-
ment has not been placed on record. 
Now that the medical department of the University 
THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER �

of Nebraska has received recognition in England such 
as has been given to only a few medical schools in 
the United States, it would seem that no better 
arrangements for our medical students can at present 
be made than for them to pursue their preparatory 
work at Union College and then enter the medical 
department of the Nebraska University, meanwhile, 
during their course in these two institutions, taking 
up instruction and practise in sanitarium work with 
the Nebraska Sanitarium. This has already been 
done to quite an extent, but a more definite plan 
should be pursued for giving our medical students 
this sanitarium work. 
OTHER DEPARTMENTS 
Concerning the other departments of the College, 
there is perhaps no need of extended remarks. They 
are all doing good work. The new department of 
Physical Science should receive the careful attention 
of the Board, since 'considerable means has been 
spent during the past year in appliances for its lab-
oratory work, and there is still needed a further ex-
penditure of means to place it in a position to do the 
preparatory work required by the University. 
Perhaps greater efforts have been made, and more 
money spent, during the last two or three years, to 
improve the Science department than has been devoted 
to any other department of the school and this has 
been absolutely necessary. It,is impossible to teach 
science satisfactorily without laboratory work, and 
especially is this true of our preparatory work for the 
study of medicine. �
Dean Ward, of the medical 
department of the University, says that the common 
method of teaching science merely from text books 
without laboratory work is worse than nothing as a 
preparation for a medical course. There are a few 
high schools in the state, like those of Omaha and 
Lincoln, which do good work and also a few colleges. 
Until the recent improvements were made in the 
Science department of Union College, this work wa,s 
in the same condition as it is in ordinary schools 
without apparatus. Hence the efforts we have put 
forth in this direction have been none too early. The 
fact is that even now we cannot meet the demands 
that •are upon us. As before stated, we have labora-
tory room for only about thirty science students, 
while we have nearly twice that number desiring to 
take the science work. 
EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER 
The EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER has not yet been 
placed on the best basis for accomplishing its object; 
namely, to promote an interest in Christian education 
among our young people. I therefore recommend 
that the paper be placed under the management of a 
student committee, believing that when edited from 
the student standpoint it will appeal more strongly to 
our young people. 
DEPARTMENT OF ELOCUTION AND ORATORY 
The new department of elocution is doing good 
work. It should be encouraged, and I hope the 
Board will give favorable consideration to the course 
of study which its teacher will present. 
IMPROVEMENTS 
Quite a number of important, improvements have 
been made since our last annual meeting, chief among 
which are the new East Hall, the greenhouse, the 
library, and the warming closet for the food at South 
Hall. These improvements will doubtless be spoken 
of in detail by the heads of the different departments. 
They have all been necessary to our work and are all 
greatly appreciated. 
INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT 
It will be seen by the report of the State Board of 
Examiners already quoted, that the efforts we have 
made in the introduction of industrial studies have 
attracted the attention of other educators. While we 
ourselves have felt that we have done but poorly, yet 
their appreciation of our feeble efforts should lead us 
to realize better what might be our standing if we 
should measure up more nearly to the light which the 
Lord gave us many years ago in regard to these mat-
ters. We have made some improvements the past 
year. If you will look over the farm, the orchard, 
the dairy, the garden, I am sure you will be convinced 
that real progress has been made. The preparations 
now going forward to engage more extensively in 
gardening the coming summer should command your 
most earnest attention. 
The following industrial classes and trades are in 
successful operation, and have each enrolled quite a 
respectable number of students:— 
In agriculture there have been eight boys and 
twelve girls. 
In broommaking, five boys. 
In carpentry, eight boys. 
In dressmaking, thirteen girls. 
In printing, thirteen boys and eight girls. 
In. engineering, ten boys. 
In cooking and domestic science, thirteen girls. 
In floriculture, four boys and twenty girls. 
In hydrotherapy, twenty-one boys and twenty-five 
girls. 
In photography, five boys. 
In sewing, twelve girls. 
In surveying, seven boys. 
In woodwork, six boys and eight girls 
Altogether f oo boys and ninety-eight girls. This 
showing is even better than I had expected. It does 
not include the general work which is performed on 
the farm and about the buildings, nor does it include 
the daily hour's domestic work performed by each stu-
dent of the Home. 
The domestic work still presents many difficulties, 
but at the same time great possibilities. I still be- 
4 �
THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER 
lieve it is the best basis for our industrial education, 
if it can be understood to embrace work upon the 
farm and in the garden and about the buildings and 
grounds. �
If plans can be laid whereby it may be 
made more educational in its character bringing the 
teachers more fully in touch with the instruction of 
the students in practical matters, we shall be able to 
build up a work here that will be the admiration of all. 
In this connection, I should like to commend to 
your careful consideration, courses of study for boys 
and girls in the academic grades which several teach-
ers most interested in the industrial features of our 
school have been preparing. �
At the State Agricul- 
tural college they have such courses three years in 
length, which are accepted by the State University 
as preparing the students for entrance to the techni-
cal agricultural course of the University proper which 
' leads to the degree of B. S. To be sure these courses 
do not contain Bible work, but by means of a four 
years' course of study, the length of the ordinary 
academic course, we can add our Bible work and still 
present as strong a course of study in other respects 
as they do. And if such a course of study is accepted 
for admittance to the University, surely it ought to be 
accepted for admittance to Union College. One excel-
lent feature of this course is that in all the industrial 
subjects it provides for a certain number of practise 
periods, these periods consisting of actual work in 
the departments of study. Such work could supple-
ment the present domestic work to good advantage. 
Indeed I would be in favor of raising the number of 
hours of domestic work for Home students from 
twenty-eight hours per month to thirty-six hours per 
month, with the understanding that the practise work, 
wherever done by the student, could be applied on the 
domestic work. Such an industrial academic course 
should be at least placed upon an equal footing with 
the regular academic course, by allowing it to be 
accepted in preparation for the regular college work, 
just as the work of the usual academic course is 
accepted. And I am almost inclined to go further, 
and recommend that this industrial academic course 
be our only academic course, except that we should 
make provision for the preparation of our medical 
students, and this might require the pursuit of some 
studies not in the industrial academic course. If this 
recommendation should seem somewhat revolutionary, 
I would call attention to the fact that for many years 
we have been following the slow process of evolution, 
and it would seem as if we might now be prepared for 
a slight infusion of revolution; and yet such • changes 
should be made with great care and deliberation, and 
I would therefore suggest that the Board arrange 
for a joint meeting with the faculty in order that this 
proposed course of study may be presented by those 
most interested, and may receive careful considera-
tion by the members of the Board and Faculty.

Reverence in the House of God 
ANNA ANDERSON 
(Concluded) 
The Lord has not only told us to come, but has also 
told us how to come. "With reverence let the saints 
appear." This means with a feeling of awe, re-
spect and admiration, not unmixed with affection and 
holy devotion. We must recognize God's greatness, 
how enobling His presence is, how much better young 
men and women His companionship will make us, 
and must, in the deepest sense, love to be with Him. 
This is true reverence. 
In the one hundredth Psalm we read, "Come before 
His presence with singing," and in another place, 
"Bow before the Lord." I believe God is pleased to 
have us sing to Him, and I believe we should kneel 
before Him as we pray, whenever it is possible. 
Next we are to "hear." "His high commands with 
reverence hear." I wonder how many of us alwav 
"hear" when we are in church; or do we allow our 
thoughts and eyes to wander aimlessly about the room? 
In the Bible we read that, The effectual fervent prayer 
of a righteous man availeth much." Now if we loved 
God as we should, and were so anxious that the words 
each Sabbath should be just those which would be 
most helpful to others and ourselves as well, could we 
keep from praying that He would bless the meeting, 
and uphold the speakers with His right hand? We 
could not. And just think what power the word would 
have. I am sure we would "tremble at His word." 
Knowing that God demands true reverence, our 
best and our all, and knowing that He hath created 
us, loved us, and suffered for us as no one else has 
ever done, is it to much that we respect Him in 
the church and everywhere? My heart goes out to 
Him in love as I say, "No." 
Reverence in the church is not wholly due to the 
attitude of the congregation. The pastor, the keeper 
of the flock, has much to do with the spirit of his 
church. Indeed he has a tremendously responsible 
position. As to his qualifications we read, "The man 
of God, the minister of Christ, is required to be 
thoroughly furnished unto all good works. A 
pompous minister, all dignity, is not needed for this 
good work. But decorum is necessary in the desk. 
A minister of the gospel should not be regardless of 
his own attitude. If he is the representative of 
Christ, his deportment, his attitude, his gestures, 
should be of such a character as will not strike the 
beholders with disgust. Ministers should possess re-
finement. They should discard all uncouth manners. 
They should be clothed with a manner befitting the 
dignity of their position. Ministers should love order." 
THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER �
5 
I believe not only our ministers should love order, 
but also believe that they have a right to demand it 
in the church. I was much interested in the attitude 
of a clergyman in one of the popular churches I visit-
ed a year ago. It was Christmas eve and the church 
Imps well filled, many of the audience, however, being' 
visitors. Just at the close of the sermon a company 
of people arose and turned to leave the room. At 
once with raised hand and loud voice the pastor ex-
claimed, "We have not permitted such irreverence in 
the past, and we do not propose to begin now." 
Have we given occasion for such words in our church? 
Yes, tenfold so. But let us cease to do it. Let us re-
member that it is not alone, a man—a pastor—whom 
we are dishonoring; but the great God Himself. 
Even Christ did not hesitate to demand respect in 
God's house. "This house is a house of prayer," he 
said, "but ye have made it a den of thieves," and he 
drove them out with more than words—even with a 
whip of small cords. 
If we would become better accquainted with 
God, talk to Him more, read of Him more, and invite 
Him into our rooms to be alone with us more, I am 
sure we would love Him better, and serve Him bet-
ter. He is one of the friends with whom long ac-
quaintance deepens into unbounded love. I would 
serve no other master but Him for all the world, and 
I am sure that when we all fully recognize God as our 
Creator, Defender, Redeemer and Friend, we will not 
need to be told, as we enter the church, to come quiet-
ly, to talk as little as possible, to remain through the 
entire service, and never, no never, to replace our 
wraps until after the benediction is pronounced; 
but will leave these things undone and unsaid be-
cause we love Him and reverence Him, and it is true 
that, "Religion from its very nature must work its 
way forward only by love." We have all erred in the 
past, but let us take courage; let us not rest until we 
can say in heart, in word, and in deed—for this is 
true reverence— 
"Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, 
Though the eye of man thy great glory may not see, 
Only Thou art holy, there is none beside Thee, 
Perfect in power, in love, and purity." 
Buy Our Brooms 
THE Union College Broom Factory, under the effi-
cient management of Mr. Peter Collins, is turning out 
a very fine line of brooms. In shape, in workmanship, 
in material, they are superior to the brooms usually 
found on the market. Our present stock of broom 
corn was raised by Mr. Collins. He employs the 
"Shaker" process of curing—entirely under cover. 
Most corn is cured in the open field, exposed to sun, 
dew, and rain. Hence it is brittle. Try the brooms 
you are going to purchase. Twist a little bunch of 
the fibres with your fingers; you are likely to find 
them breaking off easily in your hand. 
Brooms made from such material will not last long. 
Many people do not notice the length of life of a 
broom. When it wears out they get another without 
further thought. But a broom that will last longer 
than another is worth more than that other. That is 
what Mr. Collins says about our brooms, that they 
will last longer than most other brooms. He insists 
that they will last twice as long when made of corn 
cured by his process, but we will attribute part of 
that to his professional pride. Anyway the corn in 
his brooms is tough. Twist and pull the fibres with 
your fingers as hard as you may (wish you could see 
him do it), and they will not easily break. Test them 
in this way with other brooms, and you will see the 
difference, unless you happen to get hold of one with 
corn cured by our process. It stands to reason that 
they will last longer than if the fibre were brittle. 
Then they are worth more than others—perhaps 
twice as much as some others. 
But we don't ask more for them—just the ordinary 
price. And we want to give you the benefit of whole-
sale prices, too. We're not in the trust. We will 
sell to any body in five dozen lots at the prices named 
below; and we'll pay the freight, too, east of Denver, 
and west of the Mississippi River. Talk the matter 
up among your neighbors; place your wants together, 
and send us an order. We will sort you out different 
varieties at proportionate rates. If you wish, get our 
brooms at wholesale and sell them to your neighbors. 
No reason why you could not work up a good busi-
Iness that way. Brooms are always in demand; they 
are a household necessity; and a superior broom like 
ours always commands a market. 
If you do not care to follow either plan suggested, 
at least ask your grocer for Union College brooms. 
Keep at him until he gives us a trial order. If he 
begins, he will come again. Thus you can help to 
establish an industry that will prove a blessing and 
means of support to many students.

THE Alberta Conference was organized in July, 
1906, with a constituency of about three hundred. 
All seemed to have a marked interest in the building 
up of the cause in this new field. Prior to this time, 
Brother F. L. Hommel and his associates had 
created quite an interest in the medical work, and 
imply L,1111.. 
6 �
THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER 
fitted up a home in Edmonton, where the sick were 
being treated. 
The following winter a canvassing school was held, 
which resulted in placing twelve agents in the field. 
At the time of the next conference it was decided to 
establish an intermediate school, and a committee 
was appointed to purchase a farm, and erect neces-
sary buildings. Gifts, in cash and pledges, have 
been received to the amount of six thousand dollars. 
During this time the medical work had been steadily 
growing, and demanded permanent quarters. It was 
thought advisable by the delegates assembled at the 
last conference to take over the medical work then 
carried on by private parties, and establish medical 
and educational institutions at the same place. Ac-
cordingly, a piece of land, containing one hundred 
and ninety-eight acres, two miles northwest of Lacom-
be, was purchased, and steps have been taken to es-
tablish our work there. Among other gifts received 
by the conference for the establishment of these insti-
tutions are seven quarter sections of land. This land 
is all located in properous districts and, with the ex-
ception of one quarter, is of easy access from a rail-
way. Each quarter has some improvements. This 
land will be sold as soon as possible, in order to get 
means with which to execute the work. The price on 
these farms varies from $io to $17.5o an acre. Be-
sides the above, the conference holds for sale one 
hundred sixty acres of land two miles west of Leduc 
and a farm three miles south of McLeod. The one 
at Leduc is one of the best in the province, having 
buildings, and one hundred acres of timothy sod. 
The latter farms are held at $3o an acre. Here is a 
grand opportunity for some one living in the city to 
get a home in a rural district, and at the same time 
help build up the work in this province. For further 
particulars write to F. J. Hippach, Lacombe, or the 
writer at Leduc. 
The Lord has set his hand to the work here in Alber- 
ta. �
Success is attending all lines of the work. Forty 
bright young people are attending our school. Soon 
we shall be able to send out laborers who will do faith-
ful service. New ones are constantly accepting the 
truth, for which we thank God. 
Visit of Mr. Rudge 
UNION College was favored Monday, Feburary 22nd, 
with an address from Mr. Rudge, of the well known 
department store of Rudge and Guenzel, Lincoln 
Nebr. Mr. Rudge began work as a merchant in Lin-
coln twenty-three years ago. When Union College 
was built he came out to the village and sold the Col-
lege the first bill of locks. The subject of his address 
was "How to Succeed in Business." He said busi-
ness men should entertain no such thought as "can't." 
some people think that the opportunities before a 
young man in business life are not so great as for-
merly, but this is a mistake. The opportunites are 
better, and through better facilities in education, 
young men have better preparation for their work. 
In illustrating how to start in business he referred 
to his own experience. He was reared on a farm and 
attended country school. After that he had two 
years' training in a city school. �
After attending 
school two years, he finally succeeded in hiring out 
to drive the delivery wagon for a hardware store at 
five dollars a week, but while driving the wagon he 
did not forget his aim. After a few months he was 
given a better position, as clerk in the store, and 
was then advanced step by step until he became 
proprietor of a business of his own.

From Professor Kern 
THE following interesting items con-
cerning Union College students have 
been received from Prof. M. E. Kern, 
who is attending young people's conven-
tions on the Pacific Coast:— 
"I have been meeting a number of old 
Union students since leaving there, and 
will speak of a few of them. Mr. and 
Mrs. H. A. Fish came down to the train 
at Sheridan, WO., to meet me, and at 
thh Mount Ellis Academy at Bozeman, 
_Montana, I found Mr. and Mrs. W. S. 
Boynton. Mrs. Boynton was formerly 
Myrta Ferren. I stopped at Missoula 
over trains, and saw Doctor and Mrs. 
Harry Farnsworth and held a meeting. 
At Spokane Mrs. E. H. Huntly was 
one of the leading workers in the young 
people's convention. Her husband is 
pastor of that church. At Walla Walla 
I staved with Professor and Mrs. Harry 
Washburn part of the time, and with 
Prof. Wm. Nelson and wife, formerly 
Susie Shively, the other part. I enjoyed 
my visits with Professor and Mrs. Cady, 
and also with Eld. W. B. White and 
family. Lulu White is the wife of Eld. 
0. K. Butler, who is the Missionary 
Voluntary secretary for this union. I 
also met here Mi.s. Pollie Chamber-
lain Castle. Miss Chamberlain was a 
graduate in the class of 1898. Her hus-
band is treasurer of the North Pacific 
Union Conference. 
Mrs. Lulu Hill Miller lives at Milton, 
Oregon, which is only a few miles from 
Walla Walla. I also met at Walla Walla 
two brothers of Isaac Degering, who 
was in school several years ago. Isaac 
died a few years ago out here I met 
their father at Seattle. At Seattle I 
met several old Union College students. 
Dr. L. A. Buss was in Union College 
from 1892 to 1895. Marie Brinier lives 
at Seattle. Mrs. H. A. Davis, formerly 
Miss Marie Peterson, lives at Ferndale, 
Wash. She was a delegate to the con-
vention. 
J. T. Wakeham who was in Union fif-
teen years ago, is connected with the 
Port Townsend, Wash., Sanitarium. 
Miss Edith Ruckman is one of their effi-
cient helpers in that institution, and 
Bernice Ruckman is living at Belling-
ham, Wash. I also met Mrs. Winifred 
Hincley Bordean. Roy Johnson, son of 
Elder 0. A. Johnson, who is teaching in 
Walla Walla, is managing editor of 
the Ardmore, Okla., Statesman. 
Harry 
Johnson married Della Thompson, and 
lives at Battle Creek, Michigan. 
C. B. Shaw, who was in Union College 
1891 to 1893, lives in Puyallup, Wash-
ington. Duane Smith and wife live at 
Seattle, and his father, Eld. Geo. Smith, 
is also there. Here in Portland I find 
Ruby Wright at the Sanitarium. She 
is head nurse and a teacher in the train-
ing-school. Mr. Wiliam Skinner, who 
was in Union ten years ago, is also here 
with his wife for a short time. Bessie 
Nettleton Mack lives on a ranch not 
very far from this place. Sister Nettle-
ton is with them at present. 
"I go from. 
 here to Sanitarium, Cali-
fornia, then to Lodi, Fresno, and San 
Fernando. I expect to turn my face 
homeward from San Fernando about 
March 8th, stopping at Keene, Hunts-
ville, and Graysville."
