WOODSMAN - POET GIVES LECTURE Lew Sarrett Stirs Up Enthusiasm Of Large Audience Saturday Night in Chapel NATURE IS PICTURED More Worth While Things of Life Not Found In Fame, Wealth, or Jazz, Lecturer Declares A man with smiling gray eyes and hair slightly gray, combed back from a high forehead, dressed in a bright red flannel shirt opened at the throat, with metal studded leather gauntlets, dark blue corduroy riding trousers, and high laced boots, was Mr. Lew Sarett, well-known woodsman, poet, and lecturer, Saturday night as he stepped upon the chapel platform. He captured the hearts as well as the attention of his audience from the very beginning of his lecture by his informal and friendly attitude, even deterring from telling a clever joke because fourteen in the audience had heard it before. "How does man propose to spend his seventy alloted years here on earth?" questioned Mr. Sarett, and in his lecture answered it in the way best known and loved by him and all nature admirers. "Some," he said, "seek fame to have their names in headlines of the news- papers. Others seek prosperity and work sixty years to enjoy ten of their last worn out years; others of the 'jazz and gin generation' seek sensations of the flesh, to get a kick out of life; and others seek 'time'—time for work and for play. They are all looking for pleasure, but the only true pleasures are those rooted in nature and simplicity." It is this last class that Mr. Sarett exemplified. "No matter what work a person does he must have contentment," he said, "and time for good books and music to carry his soul and mind out of earthly lusts to higher things, time to play with the chil- dren, time to cultivate a garden, time to ramble through the woods and hills, time to think by a campfire, and time to grow bigger by being nearer that great (Continued on page four) SAYS GOD'S PLAN NOT CHANGEABLE Pastor Baer Shows Congregation That God's Plan is Still Same as of Old "Are we serving a twentieth-century God, who has modified His demands to suit a changing world? The Bible does not indicate that this is true, and while God is sympathetic and kind, He is also particular and does not change His divine plan," reasoned Pastor R. T. Baer in his Sabbath sermon. He pointed out the fact that there are many creeds in the religious world today. "Can it be," continued the speaker," that God has spoken in so many different ways to His people that He cannot be understood?" He stated that generally some one first makes a creed and then attempts to make the Word of God con- form to it. He pointed out parallels be- tween the exodus movement and the present Advent movement, declaring that Satan, working through Pharaoh, was the adversary of the exodus and that he is also working against the Advent move- ment today. "When we come to the 'Red Sea' experience in our lives, shall we murmur, complain, and turn back, or go forward victorious?" he asked. "Let us believe in the Advent mes- sage, in its leader, that it shall go for- ward, and let us go forward with it and be saved. The days may seem dark and gloomy but, through the mist, we may see the glorious light ahead." THEODORE HOWARD First place winner in state finals VESPERS' KEYNOTE SOUNDED BY MARSH Unselfish Service Not Drudgery or Sac- rifice, But Happiness "In addition to the glamor and ro- mance of mission life, we must have solid convictions and deep-seated motives if we who go as missionaries would keep steadfast to our calling," declared Pro- fessor C. W. Marsh, educational and Missionary Volunteer secretary of the Central Union conference, in addressing the students at vesper service Friday eve- ning. "The power of unselfish service will keep us and urge us on after the glamour is gone and the ordinary routine of everyday life has taken its place. "When we look at such lives as that of Dr. Wilfred Grenfell, the missionary to the frozen coasts of Labrador, we can see the mighty force and drawing power of the spirit of unselfish service for others. There he went, to pour out his life in an obscure corner of the world for those poor ignorant fishermen. One time di dic close of a lucLuir in which he had told some of the hardships of his life, some one approached him and said, 'I think it is wonderful, the sacrifice you make to help those people.' He replied, 'You don't seem to understand it at all; I'm having the time of my life.' Un- selfish service is not drudgery or sacri- fice, it is happiness itself." Mr. Marsh also told the story of a Catholic missionary who was in the same part of Africa as our own missionary, W. H. Anderson. When a new field was opened up, both rushed to pick a mission site. Mr. Anderson reached the new country first and picked the best site. The Catholic missionary arrived a little after, and chose one a few days' journey farther on. After the mission work had been well started and left in charge of another worker, the fever broke out. Our missionary who had been left in charge was stricken with it. His Catholic neigh- bor and, in a sense, competitor, came over and by days and nights of watch- ing and care saved his life. "That man," said Mr. Marsh, "has to some extent at least, entered into the power and blessed- ness of unselfishly working for others. "We all want power. Paul prayed that a 'work of faith with power' might be accomplished in the believers. We must have a power that drives us on, that makes us reach above doctrines and forms of belief and taste the wonder of a life of intense activity for others, liv- ing as Christ lived." Marsh Addresses M. V. Stresses Fatithfulness and Thorough Preparation for Life Work Professor C. W. Marsh, educational and Missionary Volunteer secretary for the Central Union conference, was the speaker at the meeting of the village young people's society, Sabbath after- noon. He spoke on the text,"The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner." He told several stories to illustrate his talk, showing how those who are sometimes thought to be insignificant rise above their more pro- mising fellow-workers because of faith- fulness in the little things and in making a thorough preparation for their life work. Professor Guy Habenicht was in charge of the meeting as the leader. 0 There's lots of fun in the world if a fellow only knows how to find it. —ELLIOTT FLOWER. "Every fiery trial is God's agent for heart refining." Theodore Howard, winner of the re- cent oratorical contest at Union and win- ner in the Lincoln semi-finals at Nebras- ka Wesleyan university, January 9, was also winner in the final oratorical contest at St. Paul's Methodist church Sunday night. He will represent Nebraska in an interstate oratorical contest at Detroit, January 15 to 19, at the bienniel national convention of the Anti-Saloon league of America. An audience of over two thousand listened to the six orators. Other speak- ers competing were Clifford Phillips, Grand Island, second place; Leland Johansen, Nebraska Central, third place; Merrill Whitman, Wayne; W. Gaius Watt, Nebraska Wesleyan, and Stuart Peterson, Omaha university. Mr. Howard in his convincing oration, "Ten Years of Prohibition," narrated the CHILDREN APPEAL FOR CHINA IN SONG Sabbath School Has Several Special Features In Its Program A Chinese scene presented by a num- ber of children from the College View Sabbath school, dressed in quaint Chinese costumes, was a unique feature of the Sabbath school program last Sabbath. Mrs. C. W. Marsh had charge of the children. After singing a song they passed off the platform. It is always an inspiration to hear what the young people who have been brought up in mission lands have to say about missions. _Harry Carscallen, son of a missionary to rstiica, gave the mission talk. He told of the work of the mis- sionary in translating songs for the peo- ple. He related some of the common- place things, and little problems which the missionary must help his people solve. He said that though the missionary's life is not all happiness, yet the hardships are well balanced by pleasant experiences. A male choir furnished one number of the special music, the selection being "Walking With Thee." Little Miss Nel- son, of College View, played a violin solo. 0 Facts About Bible, Subject Survey Given of Authors, Times, Unity, And Inspiration of Bible A rousing song service opened the meeting conducted by Walter Howe at the state reformatory Thursday evening. R. Willard Wentland spoke on "Interest- ing Facts about the Bible." He gave a survey of the whole Book, mentioning the authors, the times in which they lived, the unity of the Book, and the inspira- tion of its authorship. Emma Lou Davis, accompanied by La- Vona Gordon, sang two special selec- tions. Mr. Wentland pronounced the benediction. Freshmen Win Basket Ball Upper Class Men's Team Defeated; Hour of Marching Follows The freshmen surprised the players of the sophomore, junior, and senior classes Saturday' night in the basketball game held in the gymnasium at 7:00 o'clock. The score ran very close until near the close of the game, when the freshman rapidly made a number of scores, and saved the victory for themselves. An hour of marching followed, Walter Howe, Mr. Ogden, and Melda Ragsdale leading the marches. Miss Ragsdale played the piano part of the time, and Ada Townsend furnished t h e music for the rest of the evening. Tag marches were perhaps the most popular of the marches. Mr. Ogden once took the girls off guard by announcing a girls' choice march. However, their dismay proved to be only momentary, and the line was soon in place and ready to march. The crowd was smaller than usual at the gymnasium, since a large number had gone to St. Paul's church to hear the state finals in the oratorical contest. 0 The heart can ne'er a transport know 'that never feels a pain.

He is a fresh- man. Contests held at Wesleyan college,, and at Fremont, Nebraska, had eliminated all but the six finals contestants. The final contest at St. Paul's church was to de- termine the Nebraska representative in an oratorical contest at Detroit where the winner of Kentucky, the only other state conducting such a state elimination, will compete with the Nebraska winner. Mr. Howard is one of thirty contestants to attend the Anti-saloon league conven- tion at Detroit. An oratorical and . essay contest winner from each competing col- lege will also attend. Mrs. Gladys Merkle is the essay con- test winner from Union. This contest is sponsored by the .,. Ne- braska Anti-saloon league under the direc- tion of F. A. High, superintendent. TEN YEARS OF PROHIBITION BY THEODORE HOWARD . (Editor's note: The following is the ora- tion winning the state championship In the recent contest.) Ladies and Gentlemen: The subject of this address, "Ten Years of Prohibition", does not confine the speaker to a discus- sion of any definite phase of the prohi- bition movement, but seems -rather to privilege a general discussion .of prohibi- tion as reflected in our social conditions (Continued on page four) OPEN HOUSE AT N. HALL moNDAI South Hall Men Inspect and are Entertained at Annual Celebration North hall opened its doorscmMonday evening, January 13, to many guests in its annual celebration of open house. The soft glow of shaded lamps revealed the North hall rooms at their best to welcome the visiting members of South hall and other friends. The guests were organized into groups to visit the rooms. Statistics compiled by the boys revealed that the same three pictures retained their usual popularity on North hall walls, "The Lone Wolf," "The End of the Trail," and "Spring- time." After the groups had been shown all the rooms in the dormitory, they were taken to the worship room where the program was given. Lillian Meyer sang a selection, and a dialogue entitled "It Just Isn't Done" followed, showing dorm- itory life as it , of course, does not exist in North hall. A study table piled with books, a dresser, chairs, and a disarranged bed represented the furnishings of a dormitory room. Study period was in progress. Nevertheless, plenty of entertainment was being offered by the two girls who oc- cupied the room, Mildred Rhoads and Maude Reid. The monitor, Mary Thomp son, was obliged to come to the room twice to request silence, one time finding Marguerite Clark had slipped into the room. Finally the lights blinked and went out in a realistic manner. Mar- guerite returned with a flashlight to join in the "feed" from the box from home. The alarm clock was set for four o'clock in order that the girls could study for the coming examinations. After a lively selection by the instru- mental trio, refreshments were served in the adjoining room, which was decorated as an arctic scene. Eskimos in white wool caps and sweaters served the ice- cream and cake. Do not think of your faults, still less of others'.

To determine why prison inmates re- bel, with resulting riotous outbreaks such as those of recent months, the Hoover law enforcement commission has launch- ed an intensive survey. Encouraging results have attended the activities of the national business survey conference initiated by President Hoover as part of his economic stabilization pro- gram.

The mayor, the council, businessmen, and bankers are still scratching their heads over Chicago's acute money situ- ation. With fire-fighting forces reduced because of inadequate funds, the propo- sition of fire insurance rates became a matter of concern. With nearly five hun- dred policemen discharged, fears of law- lessness were expressed. Edward W. Bok, who came to this country as an immigrant boy from the Netherlands and carved out for himself a distinguished position in public life as an editor, author, and philanthropist, died on his Florida estate January 9. He was sixty-six years old. As the donor of a $100,000 prize for a plan by which the United States might co-operate with other nations in attaining and preserving world peace, and as the writer of The Ameri- canization of Edward Bok, an autobiog- raphy, he has become widely known. SEMINARIANS ELECT Ellis Storing is Leader for Second Se- mester; House Speaks Since the past week has been a strenu- ous time for the students because of the semester examinations, it was thought ad- visable to excuse them from speaking and give Pastor House an opportunity to speak to the ministerial seminar. He spoke of the growing preacher, using as his text a statement from page fifty-nine of Gospel Workers. "The best sermon that any man can preach is the influence of a godly life." Pastor House began his talk by com- paring young preachers to growing trees. "They are always green," he said. "The best preacher begins as his ability allows him and puts every bit he has into his task. People are looking for men and women who ring true." He further stated that in school one needs to become a good reader and a clear, distinct speaker. The last part of his talk consisted of a brief resume of his own experience in the field of preaching. He also gave a brief history of the seminar work in Seventh- day Adventist schools and of the Mis- sionary Volunteer society of the denomi- nation. He described the work of organ- izing the seminar in Mount Vernon academy in Ohio, and of the effort that he and a few others conducted in an old school house during the winter months while at Mount Vernon. At the conclusion of his talk, a few re- marks were made by members of the seminar. The nominating committee gave its report as follows: Leader for the coming semester, Ellis Storing; assistant leader, Harold Lincoln; leader of Bible workers' band and assistant leader of the seminar, Edith Martin; as- sistant secretary of seminar and secretary of Bible workers' band, Mabel Canaday; associate members of program committee, Bert McBroom and Allie Banik. The nominees were elected by vote. Other features of the program were a guitar solo by Allie Banik, and the secretary's report and roll call by Mabel Canaday. 0 "To have joy one must share it."

With two dead from parrot fever and eleven cases of that mysterious malady reported from distant sections of the country, government health authorities are taking steps to prevent the spreading of this "imported" disease. A German scientific expedition recently returned from the Malay peninsula and reported the finding of an island which has two languages, one reserved for the use of men in discussing affairs of state, and the other for use of women's daily gossip. Former Governor A. E.

Parts of China are being swept by the severest cold in sixty years, with untold suffering and considerable loss of life resulting. The famine areas have been particularly hard hit. The press has pub- lished dispatches from Suiyuan district, in northern Shansi, estimating 15,000 were dead, due to exposure. Honan province reported the coldest weather since 1870. The Han river was filled with ice, destroying thousands of junks, with hundreds of persons drowned. LOPP ADDRESSES CLUB "Get Into Right Line—Then Stick," Young Men Are Advised 'Why do college men after having left their alma mater, return after a try in the world, looking rather blue and feeling somewhat disappointed?" asked Dr. Frank Lopp, local dentist, in opening his talk to the Young Men's club Thursday evening. He then gave a resume of a student's itinerary through school life, pointing out the "sifting process" and saying that Union college gives the training that lasts throughout life. Many men after finishing a course, he said, awake to find themselves in the sad plight of being in the wrong line of work. "It is best," said Dr. Lopp, "that young men get into the right line now and then stick, or there may be many cruel disappointments later. Many have the misconstrued idea that our education is completed when we are handed our diploma from a college course. Man has no better chance of finishing his educa- tion during his meager period of life on this earth than New York has of being completely finished and ceasing to change while it continues to exist.

"LIVE TWICE" The inward eye or soul of a man must be enriched by his own thinking, his own struggles over life's problems, and his own decisions. The hours of mental training in cultivating friendship with great masters through the searching of books will do this in a way which nothing else will. There is no excuse for a man to be proficient in one line to the exclusion of other lines. One's life should be balanced by touching all phases of experience. These gleanings from books, friends, and life will be refreshing memories when the hour of discouragement, trial, or sickness comes. In such an hour of anxiety, when the whole horizon rti n onhni .-_..1.-olnricals is bA7y ot;th inrlinn then it is that the loorten slev is suddenly shot through with a sanguine beam of encouragement, perhaps culled from the pen of a great poet or philosopher. To quote the Latin author, Martial, ''A good man doubles the length of his existence; to have lived so as to look back with pleasure on our past existence is to live twice." There is much around Union's campus of real beauty. The simple grace of a flower or shrub may carry a message to your soul if you are not too wrapped up in the absorbing duties of the exacting moment. Have you ever noticed, as you came from the college building, the picturesqueness of the staunch tree trunks, clipped of branches, as they silhouette themselves In charcoal color against the faintly flaring evening sky? Have you felt the romance of real beauty impress you as you came up the cinder walk toward North hall with the cedars, one after another, in perspective at your right and the great moon hanging luminously behind the smokestack of the power house? You will treasure these memories when you have left Union—appreciate their reality now. Special Religious Willer, E. Wendell Wolfe. Academy Reporter: Doris Kruse Typists: Dorothy AuMather, Ella Johnson. GIVE NOW What is it that makes your presence of any constructive value to the school? What is It that makes the school of any value to you? The answer is precisely the same to both questions. How much are you willing to give, of your time, your energy, your Interest, your talent, to the activities of the school? Some students get good grades in their classes, are models of deportment, but are nevertheless robbing themselves and the school of the benefit that would result from an active interest in the things that make the personality, the individuality, of a school. Good grades are fine; to get our lessons is one thing we come to school for, and a certain circumspectness of deportment will mark the student who has a true sense of values. On the other hand, there are other things that matter just as much. These things mentioned above do not alone make a full school life. Though it is right and necessary to be jealous of your time, there are different ways of doing so. If some one comes to your room when you need to study and wastes your time and his in trivial conversation, then such a jealous guardianship is certainly in place. But if you can put in perhaps a few hours each week in something which goes to the upbuilding of the school, something for which you receive no credit except the appreciation of those with whom you work and the satisfaction that comes from unselfish service, then take the opportunity. It is a part of your education. It will mean more to you than that hour you meant to spend on chemistry or French in outdoing your neighbor. And—it is not likely your scholarship will suffer, for when you get a vision of service, whether it be in school life or in other phases of life, it gives to you an incentive that motivates every activity. For school is not only a place where you prepare to live but it is also a place where you live, whether you think of it that way or not, about a fourth of your allotted lifetime. Then why try to hoard and store up and hold, with the Intention of giving to the world what you have accumulated, when you have finished. Begin giving now and you will grow into the men and women you hope to be. B. streets. And what could be more beauti- ful and show more depth of love than the following poem, "Some Time", that Mr. Field was inspired to write at the cradle of his little girl. Here we can get a glimpse into the heart of Mr. Field, and of the thoughts he had, when he looked into the face of his little sleeping child. Last night, my darling, as you slept, I thought I heard you sigh, And to your little crib I crept, And watched a space thereby; Then, bending down, I kissed your brow- For, Oh! I love you so— You arc too young to know it now, But sometime you shall know. Sometime, when, in a darkened place, Where others come to weep, Your eyes shall see a weary face Calm in eternal sleep; The speechless lips, the wrinkled brow, The patient smile may show— You are too young to know it now, But some time you shall know. Look backward, then, into the years, And see me here to-night— See, 0 my darling! how my tears Are falling as I write; And feel once more upon your brow The kiss of long ago— You are too young to know it now, But sometime you shall know.

However, when two ladies meet, the younger ad- dresses the older first. Question: Should greetings be ex- changed in church? Answer: "People do not greet each other in church, except at a wedding. . . . Ordinarily in church if a friend hap- pens to catch your eye, you may per- haps smile, but never actually bow. If you go to a church not your own and a stranger offers you a seat in his pew, you should, on leaving, turn to him and say, 'Thank you.' But you do not greet any- one until you are out on the church steps, when you naturally speak to your friends. - 0 The Importance of Health Education BY MELDA RAGSDALE "Since the mind and the soul find ex- pression through the body, both mental and spiritual vigor are in a great de- gree dependent upon physical strength and activity; whatever promotes physi- cal health promotes the development of a strong mind and a well-balanced char- acter."—Ed., p. 195. All students of education, in learning rules for effective study, find that one of the first and most important is to have good health, to correct all physical de- fects. It is impossible for a mind, housed in a weak or sickly body, to work at the best advantage, for the mind is governed to a great degree by the condition of the body. The apostle John said, "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest soul prospereth." In order to give the best service to our Master and to our fellow men, we must be in good health. The course in Health Conservation given at Union college is intended not only to help the student learn the laws of health and how to apply them in his daily life but to prepare him to teach others the best ways of living —that he may be able "to live most and serve best." "The laws that govern our physi- cal organism, G o d has written upon every nerve, muscle, and fiber of the body. Every careless or wilful viola- tion of these laws is a sin against our Creator." The medical work is often called the right arm of the message. We cannot all be nurses and doctors, but we can all know the principles of healthful liv- ing. A college education is not com- plete if it does not contain some course which will give one an understanding of the function and care of the body. Our health can be compared to a cer- tain amount of money that we have in the bank, to be used for our daily needs. We have a certain amount we can draw on each day with safety, but if we over- draw on our bank of health, we must pay it back with interest. Some who have carelessly squandered their health have been years trying to get a balance in the bank, but find it difficult even to keep up the interest. During severe epidemics like the in- fluenza, when doctors and nurses are scarce, it is very important that mem- bers of the family know how to care for those who are ill. The course in Home Nursing gives the student both theoreti- cal and practical training in nursing, hydrotherapy, and first aid. It teaches bow to recognize danger signals, the causes and symptoms of disease, and how to prevent disease. Some knowledge of the principles of nursing is especially important for those who expect to go to foreign mission fields, or who plan to be Bible workers. Watchman Offers Op- portunity for 'Writers R. B. Thurber, editor or the Watch- man Magazine, sends the following in- formation concerning the writing oppor- tunity to be offered to the students of our colleges and academies. The Watchman Endeavor age and stimulate greater facility and effectiveness in the proclamation of God's message for today in printed form. Eligibility In former years the endeavor was open Awards Hitherto awards were given for doc- trinal articles only. This year a radical change has been made. The field has been broadened to three general classes of contributions: (1) a story; (2) an appeal for missions; (3) a poem. Nine awards in all will be given---a first, sec- ond, and third award for each group. The three next best papers in each group will be given honorable mention. The three articles receiving first award will be published in the Watchman Magazine. Ask your history or English teacher what the various awards are, and for further information on other points. Basis of Awards The points upon which the manuscripts will be judged are scholarship, strength, persuasiveness, good taste, spiritual ap- peal, originality, timeliness, and adapt- ability to Watchman readers. General Instruction Study the publication for which you are writing. Notice its style and edi- torial policy. The Watchman is our only full-message magazine. It is essentially a magazine for non-Adventists. Its pur- pose is to convince people who do not know this truth. The Watchman sends out information and requirements regarding its annual en- deavor to the history and English teach- ers in each school. Although it is not necessary for you to be a student in a history or English class, it is necessary for your manuscript to be sent in by the head of one of these departments. Mechanical Perfection Manuscripts should be neatly typed (double spaced) on standard size paper, This means x 11. Number each sheet. Leave liberal margins at top and sides of each sheet. Be sure to put your name, your address, your school, and the approxi- mate number of words at the top of the first sheet. Do not send a carbon copy. Do not write on both sides of the paper. Give your article an attractive, sug- gestive title. Even though your title is not used, it helps to identify _the manu- script. Keep within the suggested word limit-1500-2000 words for the story or appeal for missions, and fifty lines for the poem, Miscellaneous Hints I. Avoid inaccuracy of fact and in- consistency of thought. Develop your subject without con- troversy or attacking others. Attack errors, not individuals. Try to convert, rather than to confound. Persuade, rath- er than preach. Remember that an appealing intro- duction is very important. If you do not catch the interest of the reader at the start, you cannot expect to hold his at- tention throughout. If you choose to write a story, pick out one phase of doctrine and stick to the point. Do not wander from the sub- ject. Have a plot and develop it. Make the story true to life. "No matter at what point in the circum- ference of human misery we stand, Christ is at the center of gracious supply." Gives Tribute to Children's Poet By ALLIE BANIK Of all the authors idealistic to me, there is one that I shall never forget. Years ago when the fourth grade seemed a drudge to me, my teacher as- signed our class a lesson on Eugene Field. I read over the assignment, and it seemed rather difficult, but when I came to class, the teacher was all smiles and then began to tell us that Eugene Field was a chil- dren's poet, that he loved children and spent most of his time writing for them. When I heard that, I could hardly be- lieve that a poet would give his attention only to the children. That night I went to my little bed saying over and over to myself, almost prayerfully. "Yes, he's a children's poet, he loves children." Some years passed and I was surprised to find that Mr. Field lived in Denver and worked for one of the newspapers. I was so glad to know that, and planned that sometime I would visit him and sit at his feet. Later I found out that his life was not as happy as I thought the life of a poet ought to be, and it grieved me. I couldn't understand, but what little I knew of God at that time made me kneel and pray for his happiness. Today I read his poetry with rever- ence. I can see so much of Mr. Field in his poetry, he seems to stand before me, either playing with his children, writ- ing in his private studio, working in the office, or smiling at the children In the Service With a Smile College Cafe (C. <•.:* <.•:<>:•:`':::<•:' <4 LONG'S Colle g e Book Store Opposite The University Campus • • The CLOCK TOWER: A 4.

BY STANLEY LEDINGTON There have been, through the cen- turies, various ideas of what constitutes gentlemanly quality. Wealth, birth, power, arrogance, snobbishness, and even brutality have all, by some and at various times, been considered as essential to the make-up of a gentleman. Yet even the word itself, "gentleman," would seem to make impossible the inclusion of some of these supposed characteristics. Is the aristocrat always a gentleman? Is the poor man never a gentleman? The following description given by Newman is considered by Dean Inge to be "so perfect in its kind that no dis- cussion of the subject would be complete without quoting part of it:" "It is almost a definition of a gentle- man to say that he is one who never in- flicts pain. . . . The true gentleman care- fully avoids whatever may cause a jar or a jolt in the minds of those with whom he is cast—all dashing of opinion, all restraint, all suspicion, gloom, or resent- ment; his great concern being to make every one at his ease and at home. . . . He is never mean or little in his disputes, never takes an unfair advantage, never mistakes personalities or sharp sayings for arguments, or insinuates what he dare not say. . . He may be right or wrong in his opinions, but he is too clear-headed to be unjust; he is as simple as he is forcible, and as clear as he is decisive. Nowhere shall we find greater candor, conciliation, indulgence; he throws him- self into the minds of his opponents; he accounts for their mistakes." Ruskin says "Gentlemen have to learn that there is no degradation in the hard- est manual, or the humblest servile labor, while it is honest, but that there is de- gradation, and that deep, in extravagance, in bribery, in indolence, in pride, in tak- ing places they are not fit for, or in com- ing to places for which there is no need. It does not disgrace a gentleman to be- come an errand boy, or a day laborer, but it disgraces him much to become a knave or a thief." Clement Ellis in the Gentle Sinner, written in 1661, says that gentleman and Christian are but different names of the same man. "The true gentleman is as much man as the false one is less than what he seems to be." The old nurse of James I asked him to make her son a "gentleman." "I'll make him a baronet gin ye like, Luckei," answered the king, "but the deil himsel' couldna mak' him a gentleman." But perhaps, yes certainly, the finest description of a gentleman that we have access to is that in the fifteenth Psalm. "Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart; he that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbor, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor; in whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoreth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not; he that put- teth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved." CHEERFULNESS "Keep a song in your heart; it will lighten. The duties that come to your hand; Its music will graciously brighten The work that the builder has planned." 0 "My good blade carves the casques of men, My tough lance thrusteth sure, My strength is as the strength of ten Because my heart is pure."

Men like the late Theodore Roosevelt and the present chief justice of the supreme court of the United States, William Howard Taft, met indeed the fires of criticism when they challenged the liquor interests and declared for national prohibition. These men labored to show the people what prohibition would accomplish for the nation should our government restrict the sale and use of intoxicants by pro- per law. They saw in national pro hibition an unquestioned economic ad- vance for the government, for capital, and for labor. Men of this class were severely criticised by the industrial forces of the country, but ten years after the ac- ceptance of national prohibition by the people, President Hoover writes, "One of the most astonishing transformations in economic history is the progress made in industry in the United States, during the last ten years." In making this statement President Hoover gives prohibition great- est credit for this remarkable improve- ment in our government. I affirm it to be a fact that the same industrial forces that fought the veterans of national prohibition ten years ago are today among its strongest advocates. They are clearly living testimonies of what the movement has done for Amer- ica. In speaking of the increase of the spirit of industry among the masses since the advent of national prohibition, I shall let Henry Ford express the sentiment of America's industrial group. Says he, "If the law were changed, we would have to shut our factories. Every thing in the United States is keyed to a new pace which started with prohibition. The speed at which we operate our motor cars, run our machinery, and generally live would be impossible with liquor." The farming industry of the United States has made its greatest progress since 1919. This statement might be questioned by anti-prohibition men be- cause of agricultural conditions in the Middle West. If there is anything the matter with the farming industry in this section of the country, it is not due to prohibition but to the tariff method of our country. Professor Irving Fisher of Yale University says, "Fully a decade prior to national prohibition, the farm land in the Mid-west had been 'boomed' and bought on a margin at highly inflated prices. Then in 1920, following the World war, came the fall in credit because the war demand for food abroad had disappeared and the same high tariff continued." Our farm trouble in the Mid-west is due to high tariff and not to national prohibi- tion. With the coming of national prohibi- tion, "real" wages rose from the old level which they had kept for over a quarter of a century, to a new level, rc= for changes in the purchasing power of the dollar, is thirty-six percent higher than the old. So prosperous has our country been during the ten years of national prohibition that the president of our country has announced through the department of commerce that the wages of the common laborers must still go higher. This means that there will be more money in the average American family's pocket book. In 1919, there were only 10,000,000 individual savings ac- counts in the United States, but after ten years of national prohibition, we have 53,000,000 individual savings accounts in America, and poverty has decreased fifty percent. The National Bureau of Research, our chief authority for such statistics, reveals the fact that the mightiest home building boom in tote history of the nation began with the advent of national prohibition. Whereas national prohibition closed 177,- 000 saloons, it replaced them with 183,- 000 clothing establishments, banks, and grocery stores, which give employment to twice as many people as the old saloons did. Again, Dr. Irving Fisher, of Yale, de- clares, "National prohibition has saved our government six billion dollars year- ly." Even though the aggressive enforce- ment of our prohibition laws cost our government one billion dollars yearly, to day we have fifty billion dollars that can be used to improve our federal system and educate the boys and girls of Amer- ica. In 1925, David Lloyd George, in a speech in London, referring to the eco- nomic conditions in America since the ac- ceptance of national prohibition said, "One hundred and ten million of people do not continue to make fools of them- selves for long. They are the most pros- perous people under the sun, not because they have gold, but because they have not the drink." Not until we gave up beverage alcohol were the other nations of earth willing to acknowledge the pros- perity and the greatness of America. As I see what ten years of prohibition has done economically for our govern- HODGMAN MORTUARY • 1233 K Street Office B-6959 ' • 4 4 ment, for industry, and for the great laboring classes, personally, I thank God for national prohibition which has di- vorced our government from the unclean and parasitic liquor industry, and for the hope I hold that divine Providence will never allow the two to unite in unholy wedlock again. The social and moral condition of the American people after ten years of national prohibition: The "wets" would have us believe that there is more crime in America today than prior to national prohibition, but in spite of their propa- ganda, the National Bureau of Research reveals the fact that crime has decreased forty percent since the advent of prohibi- tion. Mrs. Mathes, that great social service worker, tells us that "prior to prohibition in a single night 1,400 young girls were found drunk in the saloons on Madison and State streets alone, in Chicago." But since we have had national prohibition, delinquency among the young people has decreased fifty percent. The youth are the greatest recipients of this blessing endowed upon the people of this nation. Prohibition has made the automobile safer. The mortality from automobile ac- cidents is shocking enough under present conditions, but the restoration of alcohol traffic with 177,000 saloons in operation on the streets and twenty million automo- biles speeding on our highways would magnify the degree of risk beyond the point of tolerance. National prohibition, although imper- fectly enforced, has done more to raise the standard of living and improve the morals of the American people than any other one thing in our national life. Evangeline Booth says,"Prohibition has been the greatest single aid in the moral uplift and the cleaning up of the lower strata of society." affirm it to be a fact that the main thing that prohibition has done for America socially and morally has been to wipe out the saloons which were the breeding spots of every sort of civic and moral corruption. With the sa- loon went the thing that sent thousands of children to school without shoes and food. National prohibition is an expression of the moral sentiment of the American peo- ple—a sentiment inseparable from our progressive civilization. I believe that it is forever anchored in the heart and purpose of Almighty God. Since the liquor traffic has been altered, Dr. Fos- dick of New York tells us that thousands of American citizens have crowded into the churches of the land and have given tangible evidence that an all-wise Provi- dence indeed rules in the affairs of men and that for them the Son of man is "manifested that He might destroy the works of the devil." ican people after ten years of national prohibition: National prohibition is not only safe-guarding the morals of the young people of America, but it is enabl- ing thousands of them to receive a high- er education. During the days of liquor traffic, the saloons monopolized so much of father's wages that the boys and girls had to leave school at an early age and go to work in order to make up the de- ficiency in the family livelihood. Ladies and gentlemen, you observe by the texture of my hair and this swarthy skin of mine that I come of that race which has suffered more from the trage- dies of beverage alchohol than any peo- ple under the sun. As I look back to the days prior to national prohibition and see the corrupt condition that my people were in economically, socially, morally, and educationally; as I see the thousands of black boys and girls, within whose beings burned hearts prcgnate with celes- tial fire, wandering in the streets without the protection of a home, without food and clothing, and above all, without an education, wandering in darkness, ignor- ance and superstition—it brings grief to my heart.

Three characters of the Northwest were described by the lecturer—the In- dian, as pictured at a "squaw dance" by Mr. Sarett at the "white man's music box," imitating their tom-toms and stomp- ing punctuated frequently by the of the young bucks; the French- Canadian; and the wild animals of the northern woods. "Animals and birds communicate by a language all their own,' said Mr. Sarett, "and frogs talk English—almost." He demonstrated the talk of a bear who wanted the berries on the farthest branch, the - Frogville Syncopaters" tuning up for the night, and a chattering squirrel. To try to reproduce these or any of the other beautiful pictures of nature which Mr. Sarett painted for the imagination of his audience would be futile, for his choice of words and his whole-hearted manner of portrayal held his listeners spell-bound. One of the things greatly enjoyed by the listeners was his imitation of a blue martin's flight, accompanied by his whistl- ing of "Souvenir", showing how much the intricacies of a bird's flight resemble music. STUDENT FROM UNION WINS STATE FINALS (Continued from page one) ten years after the amendment prohibiting the use of intoxicating liquor became a part of our national constitution. Because of this opportunity of election, I have chosen to discuss the subject under three heads; first, the economic condition of the American people after ten years of na- tional prohibition; second, the social and moral condition of the American people after ten years of national prohibition; and third, the educational condition of the American people after ten years of national prohibition. In discussing my first general head, "The economic condition of the American people after ten years of national prohi- bition", I offer the following observa- tions. During the years immediately prior to the enactment of the eighteenth amendment and our present prohibition laws, and just at the time when almost every thinker was debating the "pro's" and "con's" of the national temperance movement, prohibition friends received their greatest encouragement as our re- cognized leaders began to take definite d . • j Clearance are a number of Exceptional values.

Margaret Butterfield, of Lincoln, is en- tering school for the last half of the year. Edith Martin, a senior, concludes her work at the college with the close of the first semester. Emma Lou Davis is leaving school the second semester. Mr. Mitzefeldt's sister is starting school the second semester. Myrtle Long is moving from Lincoln into the dormitory for the second se- mester. Irma McMahon has been out of school for several days. It is reported that she has the measles. Elmer Nelson, a former student, has been visiting his brother Harvey, and friends at the college. Miss Ida Hanson and Russell Hanson of Exira, Iowa, were guests of their brother William over the week-end. Mr. Lawrence Riffel, of Enid, Okla- homa, who has been out of school the first semester, has returned for the second semester. Bert McBroom, Arthur Bascom, John Phillips, and Benjamin Dupper are leav- ing school with the close of the first semester. Contributions to the North hall "house fund" have recently been received from Mrs. Alfred Johnson, Mrs. Fred Johnson, Anne Devnich, and Marybelle Huffman. Florence Johnson has been ill for sev- eral days. Her mother and brothers, Fred and Reuben, and sister Myrtle, were here to visit her over the week-end. Mrs. Hannah Lindeen-Sauer writes from Virginia, Minnesota, that she and Mr. Sauer are enjoying their work there, though the thermometer registers thirty- two degrees below zero. CUL SISTEl2 SCHOOL INTER-MOUNTAIN ACADEMY The close of vacation returned to the school all of the students with three new ones added. Work has been in progress on the new chapel since about the first of No- vember, and is nearing completion. Now the students are working to raise money for new chapel seats. The three com- peting groups in the campaign—boys, girls, and faculty members—are keeping quiet as to the exact amount received, but there are rumors that many returned after vacation with good contributions for the fund. In chapel Tuesday, Janu- ary 7, the students voted to apply on the chapel seat fund a $14 Christmas present they had received. The school has been watching with in- terest the progress in the building of the power line from Rifle Falls to Grand Valley, expecting to be connected with this line soon. The present private elec- tric plant is inadequate. The dormitory girls are proud of their reception room, which is a creation of this year. The large room previously occupied by the preceptress has been made into two, a reception room and a private room for the preceptress. The walls and floor have been refinished, and a new rug and curtains save added coziness to the room. The dormitory boys ushered in the new year very uniquely. At midnight the East hall sleepers were awakened by music coming from the dining room in the basement of their building, where the boys with saxaphones, comets, and voices were serenading. Lilah Hansen of Mahtowa, Minnesota, is here for the second semester. Eva Parker was visited by her father last week-end. Clara Culver has discontinued her school work and is working in College View. Ellen Wilson, a former student, who has been at Hilo, Hawaii, is spending the winter in Honolulu. Edwin Bringle, a student of last year, has returned to work in the printing office. Marion Busse, of Atlantic, Iowa, a former student, is at Union for the second semester. George Popplewell, a former student of Union, has returned to the college to work in the power house. Elmer Glantz, of Culbertson, Nebraska, and Harry Gardner, of Cozad, Nebraska, arrived to enroll for the second semester. Mr. Wesley Glantz, of the class of 29, spent the week-end visiting friends at the college. Mr. Glantz is now teach- ing Spanish at Shelton academy. Floyd Hahn, small son of Professor W. F. Hahn, has just recovered from an attack of scarlet fever. The older boy, Jack, has been having the flu, but is better now. Mrs. Dorothy Whitnack-Cowin, who is teaching in the ten-grade church school at Boulder, Colorado, writes that she - talks Union hard and fast" at Boulder. She says, "I may be back in summer school, because Miss Couch always talks Union so enthusiastically at institutes and she has again inspired me to return." Miss Lois Morey writes from Dillen, Colorado, where there is no Sabbath school, and encloses a check for her of- fering to the college Sabbath school. She states that she always reads THE CLOCK TOWER with interest, especially news of the class of '29 and of social ac- tivities at Union. bar for that liquid fire which drove out the love for home and for his own chil- dren. So great was the strain upon those God-fearing black mothers, as they bent over the wash-tub with tears trickling down their cheeks that they were made to cry, "Oh God! how long will the curse of this awful thing be upon this people?" As a direct answer to these prayers prohibition has been written upon the statute books of our land. As I look today and see what ten years of prohibition has done for my people, I see a glorious picture. I see that through national prohibition the veil of darkness, ignorance, and superstition is being raised from the eyes of thousands, yes, millions of black boys and girls in the Southland. I see, for the negro, school facilities being increased; I see, after ten years of national prohibition, the illiteracy of the American negro decreased twenty-five percent. I see mob violence, America's darkest crime, the sin that stands a re- proach to any nation, decreased sixty-five percent since the advent of this glorious day. Ladies and gentlemen, what nation- al prohibition has done for my race, con- sidered the lowest in the South, it has likewise done for the laboring classes of all our land. In 1916 the United States spent $2,- 438,000,000 for liquor, and only $753,- 567,900 to educate her youth. But national prohibition brought about a change. In 1924, the same government spent $2,000,000,000 to educate her youth. The National Bureau of Information tells us that, after making all due allowance for the normal increase in population, there are more children in school today than prior to prohibition of the use of liquor, and never before in the history of the nation have we had so many young peo- ple in college as we have today. National prohibition has created a bet- ter environment for cultural development on the street, in the school, and in the home. If there is one institution in Amer- ica that national prohibition has raised from the depths of despair to peerless heights, it is the home,—America's home, if you please, the world's most glorious and powerful institution. The church with its soires and choirs, the govern- ments with their congresses. parliaments, and armies, are all really wholly depend- ent on the home. The home of a com- mon laborer ten years ago was a weather-beaten shack. In these, there died seventy-five out of every thousand babies born. See that mother, bent with the toils of hard work, trying to care for an undernourished family. Father is a drunkard and spends most of his time in the "slums" with no thoughts of that woman whom he has promised to love, cherish, and support. This is indeed a , 'L l ;',11It'i,s -10 =fation - a; prohibition has changed the picture. The weather-beaten shack is transformed into a modern home. The mother is still bent. but a smile is on her face. The children have food and clothing, and are able to attend school. Father is no longer a drunkard, but a real workman and a credit to his country. The challenge comes! Shall prohibi- tion stand? The challenge is answered! It shall stand. It cannot and must not fall. For this cause to be lost means that America's civilization is to march backward. Henry W. Grady, speaking before the Boston Club on the question of negro bondage, remarked that "when our fathers committed us to the cause of human slavery, they committed us to a cause that reason could not defend nor arms maintain in the field of open battle." These words seem to fit my feeling in concluding this message that I now leave with you. To recommit this government to the bondage of the old liquor regime, in the light of the remarkable improve- ment that has been our good fortune dur- ing the past ten years, means to recommit this country to a condition which reason cannot defend, nor the sword of man justify in the field of moral battle. 0 NATIONAL NEWS An American diplomatic mission extra- ordinary turned toward London January 9 to make one more determined try to end the competitive building navies. The conference will meet at the British capi- tol on January 21 with the representa- tives of Great Britain, France, and Italy for a conference expected by the whole world to write a conspicuous chapter, of one kind or another, in international his- tory. Sweethearts since childhood, Crown Prince Humbert of Italy and Princess Marie, only daughter of the king and queen of the Belgians, were married in the historic Pauline chapel of the Quiri- nal palace January 8, in one of the most picturesque ceremonies of many years. Cardinal Maffi, archbishop of Pisa, performed the ceremony in the his- toric chapel, thronged by one of the most brilliant assemblies seen at any Euro- pean court since the war. The couple called on Pope Pius in the vatican and received from him the apostolic bene- diction. The pontiff presented the prince with a beautiful tapestry and the future queen of Italy with a golden rosary.
