Don't Fail to Hear  
Mrs. Ruth Bryan-Owen  
November 7  
RUTH BRYAN OWEN  
TO SPEAK AT UNION  
Will Tell Some of Her Experiences in  
Second Lyceum Number  
Ruth Bryan Owen, daughter of the  
great commoner, W. J. Bryan, comes to  
Union in the second lyceum number of  
That Mrs. Owen has true eloquence,  
all who have heard her admit. But no  
sorceress gave her this gift of the spoken  
word. Instead, and quite contrary to the  
popular theory that heredity accounts  
for this orator-daughter of an orator- 
father, she worked out her own tech- 
clique, slowly and painstakingly. All the  
agonies of the amateur were hers, she  
insists. But she persisted and worked  
out some original ideas. One was how  
to make an audience in the open air  
hear at a distance of three blocks, how  
to win and hold her hearers.  
Added to her ability to hold an audi- 
ence, her world-wide experiences have  
given her ample material that is of com- 
pelling interest in itself. Years spent as  
the wife of Major Reginald Owen of 
the British Army in the West Indies, in  
India, in Egypt, in the Allenby cam- 
paign that wrested the Holy Land from  
the Turks, in the World War, in Great  
Britain, as well as her later experiences  
in all parts of the United States, com- 
bine to round out a personality that was  
striking from the beginning.  
No cut-and-dried phrases, no plati- 
tudes, fall from her tongue. It is not  
necessary. Her own experience is so  
rich and varied, her own message of  
peace and idealism so importunate, her  
problem is to find the time to tell the  
new things.  
She was born in Jacksonville, Illinois,  
to be the first woman ever politically 
to represent that far southern section be- 
low Jacksonville, Florida. The longest  
Congressional District is here, five hun- 
dred miles from Jacksonville to Key West  
—one with more than half a million pop- 
ulation.  
Daughter of William Jennings Bryan  
and Mary Baird Bryan, her childhood  
environment was public questions. She  
knew the Democratic platform at eleven.  
As a child she attended public schools,  
marshalled all the other little girls into  
a Spanish-American regiment.  
Her first public speeches were made  
when as a young girl she campaigned  
for the election of her famous father  
to the presidency of the United States.

H. I. REPORTS GIVEN  
Experiences Given in Chapel Wednesday  
After Ingathering Day  
In spite of the financial depression  
which is being felt throughout the coun- 
try, thirty cars of students and teachers  
who took part in Union's annual Har- 
vest Ingathering field day returned with  
encouraging report sof the day's experi-
ences. The total amount received that day  
was over $300.  
The Wednesday morning chapel was  
devoted to reports from the different  
groups, but because of lack of time, only  
about half of the groups had opportunity  
to make reports. Many varied experiences  
were related. The Columbus group was  
refused permission to solicit in the busi- 
ness district for three weeks because of a  
recent drive. However, three women  
promised to canvass that section later,  
and to give fifteen dollars to the Har- 
vest Ingathering fund.  
Sue Russell and Earline Taylor did  
their best to canvass a deaf man but  
failed to secure a donation from him. In  
a doctor's office a man was found who  
has some of our books, and is anxious to  
read more of the literature,  
Daniel McAdams and Henry Preston  
found opportunity to speak words of  
comfort to a man whose wife is dying of 
cancer.  
Professor Ogden took a group to Wa- 
hoo, and reported that there everyone  
was out of work or afraid he would be.  
Eioht banks had recently closed in that  
vicinity.  
Pastor Hughes met a blind lady in  
W:lbur, who gave a donation after hear-

A plan for stabilizing the critical rail- 
road situation without recourse to wage  
cuts has been advanced as another of  
the efforts which the government is mak- 
ing to revive basic industries and re- 
store confidence to American business.  
Premier Laval of France arrived to  
confer with President Hoover on joint  
action by the United States to re-establish  
the equilibrium of the world in the pre- 
sent economic crisis. Up to date they  
have not agreed and a second meeting  
is being called.  
Al Capone, Chicago's gang czar, has  
been sentenced to eleven years imprison- 
ment and fined $50,000 on charges of  
evading payment of $215,000 federal in- 
come tax on his underworld profits.  
Secretary Hyde has called a three day  
conference of bankers, farmers, railway  
officials, and insurance and mortgage re- 
presentatives to consider a national land  
utilization policy. The meeting will be  
in Chicago, Nov. 19 and 20,  
A cause for the revision of many his- 
tories of the period dealing with the  
closing of the Revolutionary war has 
come out of the Yorktown sesquicen- 
tennial celebration. Dr. Randolph G.  
Adams, of the University of Michigan,  
has access to revolutionary papers never  
before 'examined by historians. Sir Henry  
Clinton, British commander, an intro- 
spective man, was subject to temporary  
blind spells in periods of stress. At the  
time Clinton was supposed to be rush- 
ing from New York to rescue the be- 
leaguered Cornwallis, he was temporarily  
blind and too proud to admit it. Had it 
been otherwise, Cornwallis might well  
have been saved the ignominy of sur- 
render. Washington himself feared the  
arrival of Clinton. That is why he re- 
fused to prolong the surrender proceed- 
ings.  
Mother's Love  
WILLIE DEE WILSON  
His father was a "bad lot." He knew it,  
and what the neighborhood thought of  
him—spending his good earnings in Bre-
nan's pool hall. David went to school  
with Nicky Brenan, so he knew. He did  
not mind the taunting very much; he  
could still hold up his head, because his  
mother was a lady 'even though she  
did washings.  
He was waiting for his mother now,  
to tell her that he wasn't going back to  
school any more. He was going to get  
a job and give her money for things. He  
wanted her to "chuck" her old coat and  
hat, for he was big enough to take care  
of her right now.  
When he had reached this point, he  
was conscious of a noise in the street,  
and someone calling, "Is he dead?" He  
pulled himself from his trance and sau  
that men were bringing his father into the  
house. On the stretcher under the cloth  
was a father that looked strange to him.  
He gulped hard, but he did not cry. He  
was thinking of his mother.  
That night they talked of the business  
of living, in the room where his father  
lay. "I'll work my fingers to the bone,  
but you're going to keep on at school.  
I want you to grow up knowing things,  
Davy."  
He frowned. "Well, then, night school,  
and a real job during the day. What- 
ever I am, you'll not wash other people's  
dirty clothes, Mother. I want you to be  
a lady."  
She flinched, then smiled and wiped  
slow tears away. "And a lady I'd be for  
you, Davy, if I could, but God has only  
put it up to me to be a mother. I begin  
and end with that, Davy."  
He went over then, awkwardly, and  
stood at the back of her chair. "You're  
doing it fine, Mother, fine!" And there  
fell a silence between them in which  
her soul crept out of its grief-spun chrys- 
alis and took wings.

The fourth biennial conference of the  
Institute of Pacific Relations convened  
at Shanghai, China, to solve outstand- 
ing problems of the Orient. Australia,  
Canada, United States, China, Great Bri- 
tain, New Zealand, and Japan are re- 
presented. Discussion will center about  
the trade relations in the Pacific basin,  
especial reference given to the prevail-
in economic depression. The Institute of  
Pacific Relations is unusual in that it has  
no official standing and aspires to none.  
It adopts no resolutions but it does seek  
to achieve a much needed understanding  
of the issues which more and more are  
thrusting the Orient Into world attent- 
tion. China alone has sent 150 delegates,  
who will discuss migration and race pro- 
blems, the dependent peoples of the Paci- 
fic islands, labor problems and the stan- 
dard of living, food and population, and  
China's foreign relations.  
China has accepted the League of Na- 
tions council's formula for settlement of 
the Manchurian dispute as embodied in  
a resolution proposed to the council. The  
resolution demands that China take  
adequate measures to protect Japanese  
nationals as fast as the evacuated terri- 
tory is taken over by China. The re- 
solution requests China to ask the assist- 
ance of other powers relative to mea- 
sures to protect Japanese nationals. The  
resolution recommends that after evacua- 
tion Japan and China establish a per-
manent conciliation commision for the  
settlement of all pending disputes. The  
terms of the resolution are unacceptable  
to Japan, as the empire repeatedly has  
refused to consider evacuation of her  
troops from Manchuria until China agrees  
to police the occupied areas to protect  
Japanese lives and property. Japan is  
expected to take the initiative in seek- 
ing to open direct negotiations with  
China. Serious hostilities are still in ac- 
tion as the Japanese bomb various sec-
tions in the infected area.  
Beautiful Places  
By FLORENCE LUCILLE TERRY  
Travel—the very word makes me  
tingle. It brings to my mind adventure,  
highways, steamers, new friends, and  
lovely scenery. Think of the Alps, the  
Russian Steppes, the English countryside,  
the sunny skies of Spain and Italy, the  
picturesque houses of Africa, and the  
pyramids of Egypt. Isn't that enough to  
make any one become excited?  
But even considering the beautiful  
sights in Europe, we have scenes no less  
gorgeous in our Middde West. Take  
Colorado with its Royal Gorge, Seven  
Falls, Garden of the Gods, Colorado  
Springs, and all the mountains. One  
could talk on forever about the glorious  
sunsets in the mountain countries. The  
Alps couldn't be better!  
Consider the vast plains of Nebraska  
and North and South Dakota, When the  
wheat is ready for harvest, it's a beauti- 
ful sight to see everything for miles  
around a golden yellow. In Mitchell,  
South Dakota, is the one and only corn  
palace in the world. The entire exterior  
is decorated with corn kernels of all dif- 
ferent colors.  
In Brookings, South Dakota, is a beau- 
tiful tower which has a clock in the very 
top. At each half hour the chimes peal  
out the melodious tones of a hymn. In  
the same town there is a large amphi-
theatre with gates and splendidly made  
stage.  
In Minnesota the chief points of inter- 
est are Lake Superior and the pine forests 
in the extreme nothern part of the state.  
I saw Lake Superior at night when there  
was a full moon, and I can assure you  
that I have never witnessed a more beau- 
tiful scene. The pines arc so straight and 
tall and fragrant. In St. Paul the con- 
servatory at Comp park is resplendant  
in the spring time with many colored  
flowers. Minneapolis has lakes; and it  
needs nothing more.

PASTOR MEYERS  
SHOWS PICTURES  
Lecture and Pictures Make Life  
And Ministry of Christ More  
Real and Vivid  
OF "PROMISED LAND"  
Secretary of the General Conference  
Spends Several Days Traveling  
In the Holy Land  
Students of Union College and resi- 
dents of College View were privileged  
Thursday evening to witness the first  
showing of the film, "The Promised  
Land," photographed by C. Kenneth  
Meyers, secretary of the General Confer- 
ence, on a recent visit to Palestine. Al- 
though Pastor Meyers had spent only 
ten or twelve days in that country the  
pictures and lecture which accompanied  
it showed that he had observed much in  
that short time.  
"A visit to Palestine" he stated,  
"Brings both the keenest of disappoint- 
ments and the greatest of thrills. Upon  
entering the Holy Land one immediately  
becomes the victim and prey of un- 
scrupulous guides. Nearly all places of  
historic interest are fenced in or churches  
are built on such spots, and an admis- 
sion fee is charged.  
Many of these places are only bare- 
faced frauds. Men have taken the rich- 
est incidents of history and have thrown  
about them the curse of a modern com- 
mercialism that has no conscience. On 
the other hand, a thrill comes from walk- 
ing through the same fields and streets  
trod by the Master. Just to be there  
helps one to visualize better His life."  
The series of pictures began with  
scenes at the famous Oberammergau Play  
of Bavaria. Begun in 1633 as a recogni- 
tion of gratitude for the cessation of a  
plague, the play has been given at ten  
year intervals since that time. Great  
crowds of tourists thronged to witness  
the representation of Christ's life. in  
which nearly seven hundred villagers  
took part. The quaint costumes of the  
actors were in marked contrast with the  
modern dress of the visitors.  
Next, the traveler passed to Palestine,  
where were seen a number of places of  
interest to readers of the Bible. One of  
the first of these was Rachel's tomb.  
The cave of Macpelah, the burying  
ground of Abraham, is now covered by a  
Mohammedan mosque. The pool of Heb- 
ron, by which David ordered the death  
of the slayer's of Ishbosheth, was also  
shown,  
Scenes of Egypt were next shown, and  
a family group, which was a vivid re- 
minder of Joseph and Mary's flight to  
Egypt with the Christ-child. A primi- 
tive method of irrigation is carried on  
by the use of the ox-driven water wheel.  
Returning to Nazareth, views were pre- 
sented of a carpenter shop such as Jesus  
may have worked in as a young boy.  
A group of small children were seen  
employed in a craft-shop, where they  
learned to do very delicate work.  
Women of the district were shown  
weaving carpets. Others carried water  
from the Well of the Women, to which  
the Mother of Jesus also came.

CHURCH SPEAKER  

G. W. SEMINAR MEETS  
Young Ladies of the Organization in  
Charge of Meeting  

              
The Gospel Workers' seminar meet- 
ing Friday evening was conducted by the  
young ladies of the organization.  
Following a good song service, meet- 
ing was opened with the song, "Down  
Life's Valley with Jesus." After prayer  
Velvah Smouse and Ferry! Garvin, ac- 
companied by Ada Williams, sang "For  
I dreamed, that at last, I shall look  
on his face; and I know that my dream  
will come true."  
Sophia Van Buskirk, assistant leader,  
introduced the speakers of the evening,  
Lucille Fleming and Ellen Swayze.  
A description of Eden, man's first  
home, was given by Miss Fleming. She  
compared it to our ideal of a home.  
-There Adam and Eve lived in perfect  
harmony and were perfectly happy," she  
said. "There was nothing to mar their  
happiness.  
"They had nothing to worry about,  
did not even have to think of 'depres- 
sion.' But one day forbidden fruit was  
taken, eaten,—and Eden was lostl"  
Miss Swayze described a journey we  
may some day take from our country  
homes to the metropolis of the earth, a  
city having no need of sun, for God is  
its light. ''We shall get our harps from  
our mansions and join the Friday eve- 
ning vesper service," the speaker said.  
Miss Swayze pictured Adam praising  
his Redeemer, accompanied by Eve on  
her harp. "The song closed, Eve rose,  
she took of the fruit of the tree of  
Life and did give to her husband, and  
he did eat,"  

Great Confusion and Unrest of  
The World Show that Coming  
Of Christ is Near  
WORK SOON FINISHED  
Signs of Times Revealed to Christ's  
People to Better Understand  
Present Conditions  
"We are a spectacle or display to  
this world,'' emphasized D. P. Miller, a  
former pastor of the College View  
church, speaking at the Sabbath morn- 
ing service. "The angels are watching  
us and arc willing to bring us up to the  
stat.dard that we might be witnesses for  
Jesus Christ, Whatever you do is taken  
notice of and the Lord has a record of  
it all. Men are looking on, angels are  
looking on, and the devil is looking on.  
You can do nothing in this world but  
you are as a witness, a spectacle. We  
need the power of God that we may not 
be led by the suggestions of the evil  
one, that we may not be deceived.  
"In this age of the world's history there  
is a great unrest, and we know a con- 
flict is near. Everything seems to be in  
turmoil. Men know not what to do. Ev- 
erything seems to be in confusion and the  
financial condition of the world is  
chaos. It seems that there is an abundance  
of money, plenty of bread; yet we have  
hungry people in the world everywhere. 
What is the cause of this difficulty? That  
is what the great men of this world are  
anxious to know. Where can we go to  
get the answer? There is only one source.  
In God's word we find the answer, just  
this, the end is near.  
'I will finish the work,' Christ says,  
the great work he began as a carpenter,  
the work of salvation of souls, the great  
work Jesus came to the world to do to  
save man, We have before us the time in  
which he will finish the work, the end of  
the world. 'This gospel of the kingdom  
shall be preached in all the world for a  
witness,' Christ said, 'before the end will  
come.' The gospel is going to every kin- 
dred, tongue, and nation today.  
"The Lord is going to leave the people  
who have stopped their ears and will pass  
on to those who are willing to hear and  
give the gospel to them. He will finish  
His work and cut it short in righteous- 
ness. He is going to cut it short in your 
heart and my heart, as he will end this  
time of pleading with you and me. If you  
have not yet come up to the standard  
that Christ will have you reach, it is time  
you came there today. We need a deeper  
knowledge of the word of God. We need  
to search our hearts and search the Scrip-
tures to know what the Lord will have us  
do.  
"The Lord has revealed the signs of  
the times and the seasons unto us so that  
we may know the meaning of these things  
that are going on about us. It is the warn- 
ing to you and me to get ready, for the 
end is even at the door. This world will  
come to naught and be in a worse con- 
dition than it is in now. The coming of  
Jesus is the only remedy.  
" 'Take heed to yourselves that your  
hearts be not overcharged.' Our hearts

EXPRESSION CLASS  
PRESENTS PROGRAM  
Great Variety in Subject Matter Makes  
Program Very Interesting  
BY JUANITA PAXTON  
Miss Ivamae Small-Hilts, head of the  
Expression Department of Union College.  
presented seven students of the depart- 
ment in a recital Saturday evening in  
the college chapel. Pleasing personality,  
confidence of manner, and clearness of  
expression were characteristic of the read- 
ers, while variety in the subject matter  
of the selections chosen made the pro- 
gram one of unusual interest and one  
of the most entertaining events of the  
year.  
The readers encouraged sympathy on  
on the part of the audience for the home- 
less little orphans, who were the main  
characters in  - The Little Orphan" and  
"Taking Joy Home."  
The thread of humor running through  
"His Pa's Romance" and "The Visit of  
the School Director" caused a burst of  
applause.  
The audience were alert with interest  
during the rendition of the number, "Bobs  
and the Little Grey Man, -   a story with  
a home setting.  
- Marcia's Lucky Star" depicted a chap- 
ter from the life of a school teacher who  
sought for advancement in her work and  
received it when she least expected it.  
Intense interest was manifest during the  
reading of "The Courage of the Com- 
monplace," a story of failure to obtain  
success, of grim determination, heroism,  
and unsought-for praise.  
The program follows:  
"The Little Orphan, -   by Sangster— 
Freda Myrtle Fullerton.  
"His Pa's Romance," by Riley—Lu- 
cile Kirstein,  
"Marcia's Lucky Star, -   by Aldrich— 
Dorothy Aultfather,  
"The Courage of the Commonplace,"  
by Andrews—Mary Mason,  
-The Visit of the School Director,"  
anonymous—Alva Phillips,  
"Bobs and the Little Grey Man," by  
Ryerson—Myrna Beth George,  
"Taking Joy Home," by Kimball— 
Elinore Hahn.  

              
Members of Philomathian  
Society Enjoy Hike  
By VIRGINIA CARR  
Sunday morning, October 18, at nine  
o'clock, the Philomathian Society of Un- 
ion College left for a hike to the Iron  
Bridge.  
"Let's go," was called; and a group of  
twenty-two Academics left the college  
campus, apparently full of pep and en- 
ergy. Soon they found themselves walk-
ing along a dirt road west of College  
View. Here they followed the tracks  
south to the Iron Bridge. Some expressed  
their fear that a train might come along  
while they were on the bridge, but none  
came.  
The hikers then turned off to a grassy  
meadow.  
Professor Nesmith went ahead in his  
car and was stretching the volley ball  
net when the hiking group arrived. Sides  
were chosen and two games were played  
so that each team won a game.  
By the time a game of base ball was  
finished all seemed ready for a hearty  
lunch of salad, sandwiches, punch, and  
numerous other dainties.  
After lunch Buford Black took a picture  
of the group, and they started home.  
Somehow the road going home seemed  
longer, Mrs. Pogue asked Miss Rhoads  
for her psychology on the question. Miss  
Rhoads suggested that perhaps physi- 
ology had more to do with it than psy- 
chology.

Gives Program at Hospital  
The Sunshine band which went to the  
county farm Sabbath gave a short program  
consisting of familiar hymns sung by  
Frances Spoden, a talk on friendship by  
Vernie Swan, and a reading, "The Revolt  
of Mother, -   by Elinore Hahn.  
Another group went to the Orthopedic  
hospital and gave a program including  
selections on the saw by Donald Hay,  
a song by Mildred Priest, and a talk by  
Chester Barger. The children were visited  
and given papers.  
Paul Miller's group went to the Ta- 
bitha Home. Vernon Becker played a  
saxophone solo, Howard Johnson sang,  
and Jeanette McKibben and Mr. Miller  
gave talks. Katherine Mills, Irene  
Schmidt, and Lucile Fleming visited the

non-material way without trespassing on  
the realm of science? Cannot science as- 
sert its conclusions as the geometry of  
space-time continuum without trespassing  
on the realm of theology? According to  
the assertion above, science and theolo- 
gy can make what mistakes they please  
provided they make them  in their own  
territory;  they cannot quarrel if they keep  
to their own realms."    

THE CLOCK TOWER  

discovered, however, during my investi- 
gations in Canada, that there is no such  
thing as a light wine. Wines contain  
from 14 to 32 per cent of alcohol; it is  
impossible to have wine made of less  
than 12 per cent alcohol. When the old  
saloon was in vogue, between 85 and 90  
per cent of all li quor consumed was wine  
and    beer. ,But     p   
eople say that those who drink  
beer care less for, and drink less of,  
spirits. Yet we find in comparing Ger- 
many, the great beer-drinking country,  
that the more wine and beer consumed,  
the more spirits were used. Thus the more  
light wine one drinks the more heavy 
liquor he must have to hold it down!  
Canadians have protested that their wines  
were too light, and demanded that they  
be fortifi ed,  
"Government control is the last substi- 
tute. In Canada, every evil that we have  
with prohibition is in existence with one  
exception: The old saloon has been put  
out of business. The retail bootleggers  
are more numerous than before. Newspa- 
pers rue the day they advocated govern- 
ment control.  
"Bootleggers are increasing. Young  
people under twenty-one cannot get li- 
quor at the government stores, so they  
go to the bootlegger.  
"Twenty-one dollars per capita are  
spent every year for liquor. On this basis,  
Nebraska alone would be spending thirty  
million dollars. This state may be spend- 
ing five or ten million dollars, but not  
thirty million. In Canada last year the  
government stores alone sold fifty-five  
million dollars' worth of liquor.  
"Woodcock has the means of checking  
up the amount of liquor coming into the  
United States. He says that in compari- 
son with pre-prohibition days, we are.  
now drinking only thirty-five or forty per  
cent of what we did then.  
"Educators in Canada say that govern- 
ment control is making it hard to educate 
the children against liquor, because it is  
a common thing in their homes and be- 
cause they find it salable in stores which  
have the flag of the nation above them,  
Once you put liquor under the govern- 
ment, you put a certain stamp of approval  
on it. The whole argument aganist liquor  
is then taken away.  
"Calvin Coolidge recently stated in a  
report that since 1890 there has been an  
ever-increasing tide of lawlessness. A loss  
of $7,500,000.00 a year is caused by  
crime, violation of state laws, but little  
of this is attributable to prohibtion, On  
May 16, United States Attorney-General  
Mitchell says that in Chicago there are  
forty-eight rackets, but only one of these  
forty-eight is the booze racket. Al Ca- 
pone, it is said quite authentically, makes  
more money from ins white slave trade  
and gambling than he does from his  
booze.  
"The Senate Lobby Investigation has  
discovered that the Association against  
the Prohibition Amendment is backed by  
the great millionaires of the country— 
the Duponts, for example. This associa- 
tion tries to make out that everyone is 
tired of prohibition, and it has prepared  
petitions supposedly coming from the  
mass of the people protesting against the  
Eighteenth Amendment."  
Mr. Baker concluded his lecture by  
saying that in answer to the argument  
that prohibition is a negation of personal  
liberty we must remember that the more  
people there are, the less personal liberty  
any one person has, and that laws are  
made for the protection of society.  

A. BAKER IS SPEAKER  
Well-Known Editor Discusses Substitutes  
For Prohibition  
Alonzo Baker, editor of the  Signs  of  
the Times,  Mountain View, California,  
lectured in the Seventh-day Adventist  
church Sunday evening at eight o'clock  
on  - Five Substitutes for Prohibition."  
"The 'dry' faction of the liquor furor,  
which was once on the offensive, is now  
on the defensive," stated Mr. Baker. "Li- 
quor is the main problem, instead of pro- 
hibition. Doing away with prohibition  
will not solve the problem, for liquor will  
still remain. -  	 •  
Mr. Baker's discussion of the five al- 
ternatives began with the most objection- 
able substitute and ended with the least  
objectionable.  
"First, nullification, which means pay  
no attention to the Eighteenth Amend- 
ment. However, as long as we are un- 
able to take it off the statute books,  
good sportsmanship alone tells me that I  
should abide by the law even though  
it is objectionable to me. Just as disease  
spreads from one person to another, null- 
fication, if we begin by nullifying the  
Eighteen Amendment, may spread in the  
same way. Then we will revert eventually  
to anarchy.  
"The second' substitute is to bring back  
the old saloon, Nicholas Murray Butler,  
for one, says we must have something  
different, but that we must not reinstate  
the old saloon. A lot of the wets are  
saying that with their tongues in their  
cheeks and their fingers crossed.  
"In this week's issue of the  Liberty  
magazine Heywood Brown states in an  
article written in conjunction with J.  
Franklin that the saloon was one of the  
finest institutions we have ever had in  
America. He said that we must bring it  
back just as it was before with only one  
exception: In the old days of the saloon,  
women were not allowed downstairs in  
the bar room, having to do all their drink- 
ing upstairs, but when saloons return  
again, Mr. Brown says the women should  
be allowed to drink downstairs with the  
men.  
"Most provinces in Canada started out  
by taking their liquor home, for the stipu- 
lation of the government stores was that  
all liquor should be drunk only in the  
homes. The brewers and distillers de- 
cided that they might have taverns in  
which there would be no bar, but their  
customers would merely come in and be  
seated and served at tables.  
"The third substitute for prohibition is  
states' rights. Some states want prohibi- 
tion; others do not. If the state controls  - protili3iclon; cifoSe - Wrii5 want it niay naVe  
it, and those who want liquor may abolish  
prohibition, say the advocates of states'  
rights. Let me tell you why they are  
objectionable.  
"The American people tried states'  
rights for one hundred years—from 1820  
to 1920—andthey found such a program  
unsatisfactory. Now, we have tried pro-
hibition just eleven years. But we say it  
is a failure. Is that consistent? Since the  
States. two thousand amendments have  
been suggested, out of which only nine-  
teen have been ratified. Of these nineteen  
the Eighteenth Amendment received the  
largest number of votes.  
"The fourth point is light wines and  
beers. Some folks say that if the sale of  
light wines and beers was legalized, peo- 
ple would not care for strong drinks. I  

The Book Shop would like to call the  
attention of its readers to a unique work,  
newly acquired at the college library— 
The Encyclopedia of Social Sciences.  
This is practically the first comprehensive  
synthesis of the social sciences to be pro- 
duced. It affords a readily accessible ref- 
erence guide to the student, giving an  
authoritative and reasonably complete  
statement of the facts and methods of, and  
the progress in the various fields of the  
social sciences, including education, phil- 
osophy, law, political science, anthro- 
pology, and in fact, every mentionable  
field of sociology. The accessibility and  
usability of the information contained  
should be especially remembered, This  
work is to be complete in fifteen volumes.  
Of these, five are already off the press  
and are to be found in the reference room.  
This covers the alphabet from A-E,  
It also deserves mention that a complete  
set of Goethe's works and a complete  
set of Lessing's works in German have  
been added to the library. These, togeth- 
er with some miscellaneous volumes,  
.naking eighteen in all, were a gift of  
Mr. Otto Lutz, a student.

APPLES OF SILVER  
There is an honesty that is vulgar; but that is not the worst.  
The proud possessor of that crude straightforwardness frequently  
believes that he has a very particular virtue, worthy of all commenda- 
tion. If he suspects that his outrightness is not` receiving the attention  
to which it is entitled, he hastens to broadcast, with suitable emphasis, 
the brutal fact that he always speaks his mind, that people need not  
mistake knowing what he thinks, and that, with him, everything is  
on the surface. Quite so: probably it is.  
This same man greets you with an affectionate slap on the  
scapula, and forthwith enters into a violent exhibition of his honesty.  
He assures you that he has just come from "telling someone off," and,  
in fact, that his victim is now prostrate, so unused was he to plain  
dealings. You are beginning to fear for your own safety when he  
gathers up his cudgels and sallies forth looking for more worlds to  
conquer. He strides through life with an air of efficiency and determ- 
ination that cows lesser fry, and leaves a trail of blighted sensibilities  
behind him.  
But with remarkable inconsistency this same physician refuses to  
take his own medicine. Put to him a statement approaching his own  
in bluntness, and either he flies into a rage or sorrowfully declares  
that his feelings have been wounded beyond repair. Possibly, if he is  
one of those likable, large-hearted blusterers, he will realize—for a  
few minutes—that much so called plain speaking is merely ordinary  
impudence disguised for the occasion.  
Because a thing is true it is not necessarily beautiful. Indeed, a  
hog pen is true, but not exactly beautiful. This age needs more of  
the beautiful. In its thinking it has taken a wise turn toward seeking  
the true, the mathematically correct, but, incidentally, it has woefully  
neglected the beautiful. The truly educated have a degree of culture.  
They are sensitive to the feelings of others. The romance and beauty  
of life enter to temper the sometimes hard fact of existence. The simple  
message of a thoughtful word can work wonders, even in a world  
that holds plain-speakers--or loud-speakers—a world war, poverty,  
misery. unemployment, and murders.  	 . G. H. M.  

CONDUCTED BY CARL MOYERS  
NATURE OF THE PHYSICAL  
WORLD. By Arthur Stanley Ed- 
dington. New York: The Macmillan  
Company. 1930.  
The problem of relating religion to sci- 
ence in some intelligent manner is con- 
suming the thought of all of us to a more  
or less degree. It is to this  question that  
Prof. Eddington addresses his latest book.  
There are few men better prepared to  
answer the question. There are few men  
who have gone beyond him in his clear  
thinking in the fields of physics and math- 
ematics. Now he speaks to relate these  
fields to philosophy.  
The first section of the book, probably  
the first three quarters, is given to an ex- 
planation of what modern physics really  
is. This portion, while demanding attent- 
ive reading, is so livened by the apparent  
humor of the author at the astounding  
facts he is setting forth that it is some- 
times more like reading the Arabian  
Nights. The author proves a striking ex- 
ception to the rule that the true scientist  
lacks the capacity to write entertainingly  
and in a manner comprehensive to the  
reader who is not a specialist. His ex- 
planation of some of the difficult con- 
cepts of the new relativity are handled  
simply- - Imagine you are on a planet  
moving 161,000 miles a second. A rail- 
way journey between two towns which  
was 100 miles at noon is shortened to  
50 miles at 6 p. m. when the planet has  
turned through a right angle. The in- 
habitants copy Alice of Wonderland;  
they pull out and shut up like telescopes."  
According to Prof. Eddington, no law  
to govern the conduct of the electron is  
anywhere in sight; it seems to be free  
to produce an effect without a cause. He  
says that given an atom excited to the  
third quantum level we may predict the  
probability that it may return to the sec- 
ond level, and the probability that it may  
return to the first level, but we cannot  
predict which one of these events is the  
one that will occur. It is to be noted that  
a critic writing in the  Science Journal  
suggests the very fact that it is certain  
only one of two transitions does occur  
makes it inconceivable that the choice of  
the transition is not related in some way  
—as yet unknown—to other events in the  
physical world. At least it is comforting  
to note that Prof. Eddington himself does  
leave us a law of probability which is  
practically deterministic for the behavior  
of masses as was the old theory of cause  
and  P ff ct.  
His chief philosophical implication from  
the new theory is the freedom of the  
will. He suggests that "in the physical  
part of the brain affected by a mental  
decision there is some kind of interde- 
pendence of behavior of the atom which  
is not present in inorganic matter" so  
that human actions are, in a degree, free  
from statistical determinism. Mr. Edding- 
ton does not jump from indeterminism in 
the atom to freedom of the will directly.  
His suggestion is far more cautious. "To  
the question whether I would admit that  
the cause of the decision of the atom has  
something in common with the cause of  
the decision of the brain I would simply  
answer that there is no cause .  	 . I  
do not think that our decisions are pre- 
cisely balanced on the conduct of certain  
key-atoms. .  	 . It seems that we must  
attribute to the mind power not only to  
decide the behaviour of atoms individually  
but to effect systematically large groups— 
in fact to tamper with the odds on atomic  
behavior."  
If you have any desire to know what  
reaches science has made today, you will  
find no approach more easy or entertain- 
ing than this book. It would be interest- 
ing to know, as one reads those chapters  
on philosophy, if Eddington includes him-.  
self among those "some" who have a re- 
ligious certitude. His suggestion that too  
much analysis of religion, like too much  
analysis of humor, takes the point away,  
is deserving of some serious thought. His  
final plea is for peace between science  
and theology. "Cannot theology dispose  
of the destinies of the human soul In a  

CHRISTIAN ENOUGH!  
A true story was told at Fall Council of a Hindu who learned  
of the treachery of a friend'. When asked what action he would take,  
he replied, "I'm Christian enough, while believing that he did it, to  
forgive him." Such a .   spirit is worthy of a Christian, yet the statement  
coiire - s-   from  one of  another - .  	 One  	 lie  -.had "come -in  
contact with Christianity. He may have been acquainted only with  
the work of Christian doctors and nurses and teachers. Perhaps he  
had never heard a Christian evangelist. To some extent, at least, he 
had acquired an admiration for Christianity as it exists in India, and 
had recognized that it contained principles worthy of adoption.  
" I'm  Christian  enough." How had the Hindu who said these  
words expressed his approval of some of the Christian principles?  
As others of his countrymen are doing today, he may have contributed  
toward the establishment or the support of a Christian hospital or  
school. He may have shown his respect for the Christian workers  
in many other ways. On the other hand, the incident related may have  
been his first outward manifestation of an interest in any religion but 
his own.  
It costs something to become a Christian in India. It means boy- 
cott by one's former Hindu business associates, and in cases, severe  
persecution. It may be that the Hindu of the story was then weighing  
the two religions in his mind, perhaps even counting the cost of  
openly professing his belief in Christianity. Missionaries may have  
been discouraged by his apparent indifference toward the story of  
Christ, yet their teachings and their daily living had had their effect.  
There is a lesson to be learned from this experience. The Chris- 
tian who consistently lives his profession has an untold influence  
upon those about him. Other followers of Christ are inspired by his  
example. It is impossible for man to know the power of his influence  
upon others. The statement is made in  Great Controversy  that all the  
honest in heart will accept the truths of this message before probation  
closes. Many will make decisions for the right to the astonishment of  
workers who have labored with them in an endeavor to induce them  
to take their stand for this truth. There is danger of hastily condemn- 
ing some who have apparently rejected the truth as it was pre- 
sented to them. Outward indifference to religion does not necessarily  
prove that the individual is not earnestly praying for light.  
The story has still another application. Are we as Christians so  
steadfast to principle that we can say "No" to temptation? Can we 
say, "I'm  Christian  enough not to do that"? Let your Christianity  
control your entire life, not merely a portion of it.

MISS MILLARD WRITES  THE COLLEGE SABBATH SCHOOL  
An example of how the prophecy of  
Joel 2:28, 29 is being fulfilled in Moham- 
medan lands was the subject of the Sab- 
bath school mission talk given by Nell  
Beem. The story related the experiences  
of a young Mohammedan who was be- 
coming dissatisfied with her religion. Re- 
peatedly a vision of Christ was given  
her, and she determined to become a  
Christian. Our missionaries learned of  
her experience, and in answer to their  
prayers, her parents gave her permission  
to study the Christian religion. After a  
series of studies she was baptized, and  
since her conversion has led many souls  
to Christ.  
The Scripture reading, Psalms 146, was  
read by Wesley Unterseher, who then  
led the congregation in prayer. Sophia  
Van Buskirk read the secretary's report.  
Since many of the members of the  
Sabbath school were attending the ser- 
vices at Omaha, the classes did not meet  
separately for the lesson study, which  
was conducted by Professor Kime.  
The classes of Miss Rees, Dr. Dick,  
and Miss Aultfather received honor on  
the dirigible, the goal device.  

Alvena Millard of Des Moines, Iowa,  
writes: "I am planning to spend next  
winter at Union with all of you. THE  
CLOCK TOWER is a wonderful inspiration  
and comfort. I surely enjoy the detailed  
news items and notes about Unionites.  
Yes, I always boost for Union, and it's  
rather difficult to tell what might happen  
if some one really said anything against 
it in my presence.  
"How I wish I might spend a Thursday  
evening soon in the North hall parlor.  
Surely I want a reserved place on that  
rug, so I'm sending something to help  
purchase it. There are always so many  
new and pretty things every time I come  
back. I love it."

Taking for a basis for his chapel talk

young people of today, Professor Han- 
hardt discussed the modern ''youth move- 
ment" of Germany, as a proof of the fact  
that young people do have high ideals,  
and are capable of considering serious  
problems. Begun as a relief from the ar- 
tificial life of the cities, the youth move- 
ment in Germany has many phases, he  
said. Hiking is a favorite pastime among  
such groups, Professor Hanhardt ex- 
plained, and visits are made to museums,  
art galleries, and other places of his- 
toric Interest. In their travels, the speaker  
said, they stop at "youth lodges" where  
dormitories are provided for both boys  
and girls, with a house father and house  
mother in charge.

Talks on Hidden Treasures  
BY HELMET WAKEHAM  
"Egypt is the oldest civilized country  
in the world," said Virginia Carr in her  
talk to the English IV class Tuesday  
morning, October 13. Miss Carr's dis- 
course was the first of a group of  
speeches on Biblical literature to be given  
by members of the English class. Others  
will follow some time later.  
Mummy cases with gold inscriptions  
containing richly embalmed kings were  
described by Tuesday's speaker. She  
stated that the heart of the body was  
placed in a vase before the embalming  
of the corpse.  
The body of one king was said to  
have had several coverings. The first  
was an embroidered leather covering  
,aderneath which was a linen sheet. Next  
came two coverings of narrow bandages  
over another fine linen sheet. Upon the  
latter was a beautiful embroidered image  
of the Egyptian goddess Nut. The body  
was dressed in royal clothes and the  
skin was yellow from the preserving  
fluid. Animals and flowers have also been  
preserved from the times of the Phara- 
ohs.  
Miss Carr gave a description of the  
features of the face of one of the em- 
balmed kings. She also told of Obelisks  
that were found In the Nile Country.  
"Egypt is not the only place where  
treasures are found," she said, "but in 
the vicinity of Babylon are also many  
excavations. She then told something of  
these Babylonian excavations.  
In closing Miss Carr showed some  
Babylonian characters and told of their 
finding and meanings.

DR. HANSEN SPEAKS ON HEALTH  
Dr. L. A. Hansen of the General Con- 
ference Medical department, and editor  
of  Life and Health,  gave a health lecture  
in the College View church Monday 
evening. After reviewing the part which  
the medical work plays in foreign mis- 
sion fields, he stressed the importance of  
each Seventh-day Adventist practicing all  
the principles of health reform.  
"The message of health reform," he  
said, "was entrusted to this denomina- 
tion that a people might be prepared for 
the Lord. As Adventists we have a spir- 
itual responsibility in regard to health  
reform. We are told in the Spirit of  
Prophecy that a time will come when  
the medical work will be the only phase  
of our missionary work which can be  
done. Through it the hearts of the people  
can be reached with the Advent mes- 
sage."  
Dr. Hansen pointed out the provision  
which the Lord has given to insure  
health. Obedience to the laws of nature  
is necessary, he said, for every trans- 
gression of those laws brings its physi- 
cal penalty. "God's promises are condi- 
tional," he declared. "Even those engaged  
in His work cannot violate health prin- 
ciples without suffering for such diso- 
bedience."  
Although reports from life insurance  
companies show that the average length  
of life has been increased eighteen years  
by a greater health work for children,  
more people are dying at middle age, the  
speaker said. These deaths, Dr. Hansen 
stated, are largely due to wrong habits  
of living, such as improper food and in- 
sufficient exercise. The speaker stressed  
the importance to Adventists of being  
careful in selection of foods, in order  
that proper combinations may be used.  
"As a people," he said, "we are in greater  
danger of undereating rather than over- 
eating. Health reform should not be car- 
ried to an extreme."

were not their own original productions  
but were the outpouring of the emotions  
of the people themselves. The minstrels  
carried the themes and a knowledge of  
the musical elements from one people to  
another, and were the only ones for many  
centuries who kept alive the interest in  
instrumental music, thus laying the foun- 
dation for the future era of Instumental  
composition, They were very popular  
with the people, but never achieved any  
social distinction nor obtained any civil  
rights. They gathered in hundreds at  
court festivals and affairs, and were re- 
warded for their entertainment with mon- 
ey, food, or clothing. They sang heroic  
and amorous songs, laments, jocular dit- 
ties, and satirical songs, deriding those  
who had ill treated them or had insuf- 
ficiently rewarded them. Although con- 
demned by the church, the Jongleurs  
cleverly worked their way into the 
church plays. During the eleventh and  
twelfth centuries they were engaged in  
the service of the Troubadours and  
Minnesingers in which capacity they com- 
manded a greater consideration and re- 
spect.  
The honor of having been the pioneers  
of courtly poetry and song belongs to  
the nobles of South-eastern France. In- 
spired by the song of the common peo- 
ple, these nobles created for themselves  
a music somewhat like that of the pea- 
sant, but added to it their own individual- 
ity, thus developing a song with a more  
compact form, more refined versification,  
nobler language, and a somewhat im- 
proved melody.  
The most prominent of the Trouba- 
cLurs V. C Count Wilhelm of Poitiers  
(1087-1129). The songs of the Trouba- 
dours especially expressed the sentiment  
of love. They exalted womanhood as  
perhaps never before, and unlocked the  
door to literary expression for intense  
feeling of every kind. The songs were  
divided into different classes: Canzonets  
were the love-songs addressed to the  
countly dames; the Servantes extolled the  
goodness of princes, or else indifferently  
praised or condemned some public event;  
the Terzones were quarrelsome and con-
tentious; the Roundelay, which always  
ended with the same refrain, dance  
songs, among which the round-dance, ac- 
companied by song and ballad, was the  
most popular; and the Pastourelles, which  
were stories of court people under the  
guise of shepherds. Great ingenuity was  
shown in the elaboration of curious verse- 
forms, with reiterated rhymes, studied ef- 
fects in assonance and the like, and highly  
complicated stanzas, However, in spite of  
the tendency to mere technique, the lyric  
impulse was so strong that in those efforts  
was the source of the 'entire modern art  
of lyric verse. Along with this verse- 
making impulse ran a musical one. These  
songs were meant to be sung. The melo- 
dies written for them show a fairly clear  
sense of tonality as now understood, and  
were often in the major mode. The  
phrases were well defined, corresponding  
to the lines of the words, usually with  
but one tone to a syllable, ending with a  
cadence, and based upon a regular ac- 
centual rhythm.  
The poetry and song of the Trouba- 
dours gradually penetrated throughout  
France, and toward the latter part of the  
twelfth century the Troubadours were  
flourishing in the North under the name  
of Trouveres. They imitated the Trou-  
"Everybody can talk, but few can talk  
to the point."

DEAN RISLEY GIVES 
HISTORY LOMA LINDA  
The two chapel speakers Monday were  
0. M. John, president of Atlantic Union  
college, and E. H. Risley, Dean of the  
College of Medical Evangelists, Loma  
Linda, California.  
President John, formerly president of  
Union College, brought greetings from  
the young people of New England, and  
spoke of the splendid advantages gained  
by those who receive their education in  
our denominational schools. "Education  
is a tempering process, and in our schools  
students receive a true Christian temper- 
ing, so that they will yield to some in- 
fluences and stand firm against others.  
May you catch the vision which hun- 
dreds, and even thousands, have caught  
in this school, -   President John concluded.  
Dean Risley spoke of the development  
of medical schools in the denomination.  
"For many years, -   he  said, "the only  
health institution was the famous sani- 
tarium at Battle Creek. Individuals of  
good character and ability were sent to  
several universities for the medical course,  
the University of Michigan having a  
number of Adventist students.  
"The increasing need of a medical  
college led to the establishment of the  
American Medical Missionary college in  
Chicago in 1895, which carried on the  
work until 1910, During the closing years  
of the school, other denominations had  
become so dominant that in 1910 there  
were twelve different denominations  
represented in the college. The leaders  
felt that the school was not filling the  
place that it was intended to fill. In  
1910 it was merged with the College of  
Physicians and Surgeons.  
"In 1905 land with some buildings had  
been purchased near Redlands, California,  
with the view of making it a medical  
center. That school is hardly comparable  
with the $1,500,000 institution now  
located at Loma Linda and Los Angeles.  
"A charter was granted to the college  
in 1909. At this time the American Medi- 
cal association was eliminating the poor- 
er medical schools, placing this new, small  
college at a great disadvantage. It was  
given a temporary "C" rating. At first,  
poor equipment handicapped the work  
greatly, but constant improvement in  
equipment and scholarship led the Medi- 
ical Association to grant the college a"B"  
rating. A few years later a rating of "A"  
was given. At the present time the enrol- 
ment is 466, making it twenty-fifth in  
size out of the present seventy-two medi- 
cal colleges in he United States.  
"The co-operative plan as worked out  
in the college allows a student to gain  
both experience and money. One month  
is spent in classes and the next in work  
at some hospital, This work in hospitals  
enables the student to become acquainted  
with hospital routine."  
Dean Risley said that the idea has  
gone out that the students are of a rough  
type. "This is a mistake," he said. "The  
medical college is not a place where one  
can lead a careless life. In the medical  
work one can help mankind both physi- 
cally and spiritually." He advised all  
those looking forward to the medical  
course at Loma Linda to prepare while  
at Union to stand steadfast against  
worldly influences, since a doctor needs  
as deep a Christian experience as does  
a minister.  
Sunday morning, October 25, the Colo- 
rado students could be seen hurrying  
about the campus and North Hall getting  
ready for an early morning hike and  
breakfast at Happy Hollow, a mile east  
of the college. Twelve of the group, in- 
cluding Miss Leona Dunn as chaperon,  
went to the chosen site in Harold Huffer's  
Chevrolet. They took the "eats" and a  
baseball and bats. The others of the  
crowd, with Mr. and Mrs. V. S. Dunn  
officiating as chaperons, hiked across  
country. About thirty students were pres- 
ent when breakfast was announced at a  
quarter past seven. After a veritable  
feast of fried potatoes, pancakes, butter,  
cocoa, and candy, everyone joined in a  
ball game. At eight-forty-five the game  
was called on account of lack of more  
time, and the group returned to the col- 
lege. It was admitted by everyone that  
a hike could be a pleasant occasion at  
College View, even though there are no  
Rocky Mountains.  
BEAUTIFUL PLACES  
(Continued from page one)  
In Missouri we have the Ozarks, a  
popular summer resort. Kansas City is  
also a spot of real beauty. Swopo park  
is one of the largest in the world. We  
have a forty-eight mile Scenic Drive  
which leads one through the outstanding  
places in the city. Overlooking the Union  
station, which is in itself a remarkable  
building, is the Liberty Memorial, dedi- 
cated to the soldiers of the World War.  
At the top of the Memorial shaft is "the  
sign of the cloud by day, and the sign  
of the fire by night."  
But, in the comparison of foreign and  
domestic scenery, we must not forget the  
lovely sights whose proximity to us has  
almost made us overlook them. Antelope  
Park in Lincoln, and the sunken gardens  
near there, are really beautiful. And last,  
but not at all least, the Union College  
campus is a place of which we are truly  
proud.   

badours to a great extent in the choice  
of themes, treatment, and general spirit,  
but the differences were quite notable.  
The Trouveres liked to extol the legends  
of Brittany and Normandy, to accumu- 
late the myths of the traditional heroes,  
and to sing of the romantic tales of the  
crusades. There was less organization of  
effect among the Trouvere poets, less  
competition among themselves for tech- 
nical approval, and less class exclusive-
ness. Their melodies were not always  
sharply different from those of the  
Church. The Trouveres took a very Im- 
portant share In the development of part  
music, and cultivated the composition of  
secular songs for several voices, in which  
a rhythmic element sometimes makes its  
appearance. The best known of the  
Trouveres was Adam de la Halle (1240- 
1287). His genius was shown in the lyric  
songs, in polyphonic rondeau and mo- 
tets, and in several song-plays, One of  
his most important works is "Robin and  
Marion." Music is interspersed with the  
dialogue, and it is sportively called the  
dies sung by these wandering musicians first comic opera. Adam de la Halle is  
considered among the first to succeed in  
producing genuine musical results in part- 
writing.  
Soon after the rise of the Troubadour  
in France, a similar movement began in  
Germany. These poets were called Min- 
nesingers. They infused into their melo- 
dies a feeling that showed less of the  
courtly and more of the popular element.  
They also freed themselves from the  
French conventional manner of expres- 
sion, and, in doing so, raised the poetical  
art to a much higher standard. Their  
style is often more epic or reflective than  
lyric. The themes of their poetry dealt  
not only with love, but with moral, re- 
ligious, and even political topics of the  
period. The melodies were more austere  
and stately than those of the Trouba- 
dours, and were subordinated to the verse.  
Performance depended much upon the  
warmth and depth of expression imparted  
by the singer rather than on the essen- 
tial charm of the tone design. Three  
classes of secular melody were disting- 
uished: (1) the leich or lay, which may  
have originated in the older dance forms,  
though some identify it with the ecclesi- 
astical sequence; (2) the Spruch, which  
consisted of but one strophe; (3) the lied,  
which was divided into three sections, the  
third of which corroborated the first, all  
very regular in metric form. The melody  
fitted the particular verse so well that it  
could not be used for another poem.  
The most important of the Minnesing- 
ers were Veldecke, the first one; Wol- 
fram von Eschenback who wrote  - Par- 
sofal"; Walther von der Vogelweide,  
who, perhaps, was the greatest; and Hein- 
rich von Heissen, who was the last one,  
and, therefore, the connecting link be- 
tween the Minnesingers and the Meister- 
singers.  
After a little more than a century of  
popularity, the Minnesong passed from  
the hands of the nobles and became the  
professional meistersong of the people.  
Guilds were formed for the cultivation of  
music, the members were divided into  
classes from the novice up to the master,  
Each guild had its hall, its insignia of  
membership, its special rules and tradi- 
tional ceremony or procedure. Contests  
were held to determine the rank of the  
members. There was a special book of  
rules which had to be followed, and the  
workers judged the compositions very  
closely. Thus music becomes impregnated  
with formality, weakened in imagery, and  
tied and bound by conventionalities.  
Depth of feeling, truthfulness, and free- 
dom of expression were regarded as of  
secondary importance. Hans Sachs of  
Nuremberg was the most prominent of  
the Meistersingers. Wagner has used  
him as one of the important characters  
in his opera, "Der Meistersinger."  
The Meistersong did not contribute  
in any marked degree to the progress of  
art or the development of music, The   

movement was devoid of the ideality,  
freedom, and spontaneity that make for  
genuine artistic progress. It did, how- 
ever, show that music is a dignified and  
worthy pursuit, and it taught its adher- 
ents some knowledge of its technicalities.  
There was instilled into the hearts of the  
German people the love of music, and it  
came to have an important place in their  
homes. To  this  day there is no country  
in which music is so much a part of the  
domestic life as in Germany—the home  
of Meistersong.

GERMAN CLUB FORMED  
The German students met Monday eve- 
ning at six o'clock for the purpose of  
organizing the German club, the  
- Deutscher Verein." Professor Hanhardt  
first explained the purpose of this club.  
A study of the country of Germany and  
its people will comprise part of each pro- 
gram. These studies and talks are to be  
given in the German language. The re- 
mainder of each club meeting will be  
spent in playing German word games and  
in singing German folk songs, "Deutscher  
Verein" will meet on alternate Monday  
evenings.  
The following officers for the year  
were elected: president, Clyde Bushnell;  
vice-president, Irene Ortner; secretary,  
Harry Turner; assistant secretary, Carl  
Specht; pianist, Lydia Reinmuth.  
IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE  
It has been suggested that the parallel- 
ism in the following poem should be  
pointed out before the girls win the  
CLOCK TOWER  campaign:  
"It Pays to Advertise, But—"  
A lion met a tiger  
As they drew beside a pool,  
Said the tiger, "Tell me why  
You're roaring like a fool."  
- That's not foolish," said the lion  
With a twinkle in his eyes,  
"They call me the king of all the  
beasts,  
Because I advertise."  
A rabbit heard them talking  
And ran home like a streak,  
He thought he'd try the lion's plan,  
But his roar was but a squeak.  
A fox came to investigate— 
Had a luncheon in the woods,  
So when you advertise, my friend,  
Be sure you've got the goods.  
When the other fellow runs great risks  
in business, he is "foolhardy;" when you  
do, you are a "great financier. -  
When the other fellow takes time to  
do things, he is "slow;" when you do it,  
you are "deliberate."  
When the other fellow tries to treat  
some one especially well, he is "toady-  
When the other fellow spends a lot,  
ing;" when you try the same things, you  
are using "tact."  
he is a "spendthrift:" when you do, you  
are "generous."  
When the other fellow says what he  
thinks, he is "spiteful;" when you do,  
you are "frank."  

MOTHER'S LOVE  
(Continued from page one)  
He went through night school and  
worked in a drug store during the day.  
Each week he handed his mother all his  
money, but she still did washings at home  
by the day, "to pay for the little ex- 
tras," as she would tell him.  
When Davy mentioned college she was  
ready for him. "You do it, dearie. I  
can be earning the bit I need, as I've  
always done." She came a bit closer,  
holding the clean linen in her arms.  
"If—if it's money you're needing, Davy,  
there's some in the bank for your own."  
He stared at her a moment, then laugh- 
ed a little bitterly; but for answer she  
went to the cupboard, fumbling in the  
dark. She came back to him holding out  
a small bank book, with a look as if  
she were giving to him all that she was  
for the sake of all that he would be.  
He was reading his name in full, and  
then the inner pages with the long lists  
of regular entries, always made on Mon- 
day. "It's all there, Davy, not a blessed  
cent missing of all the dear wages you've  
earned. I used to be thinking how you'd  
need it some day, and love your old  
mother a bit more for keeping it safe  
for you."  
He came over and shrouded her in his  
arms, He knew no words to express his  
feelings. She seemed to read his thoughts  
and shook her head. "A mother doesn't  
look for pay, Davy, You—you can't pay  
them, you love them."  
The faculty took an interest in him.  
To them he was raw material. They  
took a certain pride in pushing him when 
they learned, no one knows just how, 
that his mother was a wash-woman and  
he was working his way. She toiled  
slowly with the crowd of well-dressed  
men and women the day Davy graduated,  
feeling that she was getting old.  
He came down to her afterward,  
straight as a die, through the crowd.  
When one of the professors touched his  
arm to say a word he rose to the mo- 
ment. "My mother, Doctor Hancock."  
She shrank a little because of her cheap  
dress; but Doctor Hancock had once had  
a mother of his own,  
David Beckner was given his intern- 
ship at the Belmont hospital in his home  
town, He moved his mother into two  
rooms in a decent street and furnished  
them gaily, proud of the fact that for  
the first time his mother needn't wash  
for a living.  
At the end of his hospital service  
Dr. Hancock got him a position with the  
Board of Health. It was his proud hour,  
and he came to his mother to share it.  
She ran her work-worn hand over his  
sleeve. "Oh, how grand for you. It's  
the poor I want you to be working for,  
Davy, without a thought of pay."  
He got up, walking the length of the  
room as if he were engrossed with his  
own thoughts. She sent a quivering sug- 
gestion after him, something that had  
haunted her ever since she had learned  
that Dr. Hancock had a daughter, and  
that Davy and she were—friends.  
He stopped. Then suddenly he was  
walking again, speaking as if for the  
first time he dared to confront the shad- 
ow that was blackening his future.  
"How could I marry, Mother? Be- 
cause I'm clever with the knife, have  
brains of a sort? One can't hand a wo- 
man that alone; there must be ground to  
stand on, I can't forget my father—what  
I've come from. -  
"Davy,—"her voice faltered and broke  
a little, then she went on. "I've always  
said you'd the making of a man in you,  
and you've made it, dear; not even  
your father could hold you back, nor  
yet me; you've just gone on. And you'll  
still go on to things better, like a king  
to his crowning."  
He turned a rigid face to her, "Don't  
I know it, Mother? But you and I must  
peg on alone as we've always done.  
We've something to be thankful for, and  
that is work. I'm going to do my work,  
Mother."  
She saw him go- - like a king to his  
crowning." That was the thought she  
took to bed with her, praying to God  
to bless her boy.  
The morning mail brought a letter ad- 
dressed to her in Davy's firm surgeon's  
hand:  
"I'm taking your advice, Mother, and  
am going to see her. But first I want her  
to know things as they are .I'm going to  
bring her down tomorrow to you. I've  
told her a little about my father, but I  
want you to tell her the rest—for you  
know the worst of him and the best.  
Don't be afraid. We go together, you  
and I, and it is just a question of her  
loving both of us—that's the beginning  
and the end of it.  	 Davy."  
The Young Men's club did not hold  
its regular meeting last Thursday. In  
view of the fact that Elder C. K. Meyers  
was to show a set of pictures on the  
Holy Land at eight o'clock that evening,  
it was decided to conduct a short meet-
ing of worship and allow a longer study  
period than usual. The next meeting will  
be held regularly, Thursday, October 29.  
For about four weeks the singing bands  
of Union have been working faithfully.  
With the $6.75 received last Wednesday  
night they have now raised $110. As  
they expect to work three or four nights  
yet the amount will probably swell to  
at least $125.00.  

EARLY MINSTRELRY  
By  CLAYOMA ENGEL  
There is a strong contrast between the  
slow and tedious progress made by the  
church music in its strivings after artis- 
tic form and the  free and unembarrassed  
development of secular song among the  
people. The folk-song, refrains, and  
roundelays which accompanied all the  
popular dances, the tales and sagas re- 
lated in epic or song-form, and the bal- 
lads and serenades were made by the  
people and were, therefore, entirely in- 
dependent of scholastic theory. Yet, in  
these were contained the germs of a  
rich development, which, coming into con- 
tact at a later period with the achieve-
ments of art, attained to the most grati- 
fying results.  
In the songs of the mountebanks, ad- 
venturers, itinerant jugglers, and strolling  
players are found the oldest specimens  
of secular medieval folk-music. In France  
they were called "Jongleurs," in England, 
minstrels, in Spain "Joglares."The melo-


'ination the trail had developed into a  
road which usually remained an open one  
for all time, and it was recognized as  
civilization's first seal of a permanent  
occupation of an unsettled country by  
newcomers.  
In the course of time, when settlers  
began to flock in, emigrant trains were  
carefully organized within the settlements  
and sent out into the new country guard- 
ed  by soldiers. Behind the gun went  
the school-book. Civilization followed  
the army; missionaries carried chivalrous  
ideas where soldiers had trod; settlers  
stepped in the foot-prints of military  
pioneers; the frontiers of civilization  
pushed on to the uttermost parts of the  
continent.  
When there was danger of a settle- 
ment being attacked by Indians, orders  
were issued for a post to be built. A  
command was marched out into the wil- 
derness and halted beside some stream.  
It had been told to build a post and a  
post was built. All the labor of con- 
structing it was done by the command,  
and with the supplies procurable, won- 
ders were accomplished. Such posts served  
definite purposes. There were settle- 
ments to be guarded. Indians were to be  
held in check and compelled to remain  
on their reserves, and depots to be main-  
tained at favorable places.  	 So these  
stations were constructed by the soldiers  
on wind-swept plains, in lonely moun- 
tain passes, on desolate hillsides, and in  
sunny valleys at the foot of snow-clad  
mountain peaks. Oh, the tales those old  
abandoned forts could tell if they could  
only step forth from the past and take on  
shape and substance: tales of love, tales  
of war, of hunt, of red men and of white  
men; tales of danger and of death, of  
peace and of life. Romance, chivalry,  
and heroism once lived within their walls.  
There is much of interest that could be  
told of the frontier soldier in the Indian  
campaigns. There were the bloody Sioux 
campaigns, the wars with the Apaches in  
Arizona, the Modoc war in Oregon, the  
campaign against the Nez Perces that  
started in Idaho and extended into Wyo- 
ming, Montana and Dakota. Through 
them all the United States regular main-
tained well his reputation for loyalty,  
fortitude, and heroism. Whether under  
the burning sun of Arizona or amid the  
Arctic cold of Dakota, he took all things  
as a matter of course, be it exploration,  
the protection of surveying parties, the  
guardianship of wagon-trains, the build- 
ing of forts and the maintenance of gar- 
risons in remote wilds, the rescue of en- 
dangered settlers, or an expedition a- 
gainst a larger force of marauding sav- 
ages. Whatever orders came from  
Washington passed onward and down- 
ward through department commanders and  
were unflinchingly executed by those  
whom they reached, whatever their exe- 
cution might cost in lives and hardship.  
The frontier work of the English sol- 
dier, whatever its penalties might be, al- 
ways brought prompt promotions, the  
Victoria Cross, and recognition and hon- 
ors of various forms. The frontier work  
of the American soldier, with his record  
of more than a century of heroism and  
sacrifice, has been viewed with prejudice,  
and its reward has been simply the con-

Washington Missionary College  
Twelve new telephones are being in- 
stalled for communication between build- 
ings on the campus as well as new pub- 
lic telephone booths in the dormitories.  
Since this new system is a private one  
and not connected with the public system 
all the important offices will have two  
telephones.

building are blooming this fall.  
Singing bands are doing well. From $20  
to $40 an evening has been the average  
with donations as high as $5 bills.  
The street side of the campus is to be  
lined with a hedge. By allowing this  
hedge to grow to a height of five feet,  
the desired privacy will be gained with- 
out the corresponding offence to the pub- 
lic that a fence would create.  
Needed office space will be obtained in  
the General Conference office building by

ject of a talk given by Henry Sonnen- 
berg, Wednesday, October 2, as the  
third of a series of talks on Biblical lit- 
erature to be given by the English IV  
class. The first two were given by Vir- 
ginia Carr and Gretchen Van Syoc.  
"The wonders of archaeology from  
Egypt are the latest and most precious  
harvest of scholars and explorers," stated  
Gretchen Van Syoc in her talk on Egypt- 
ian literature to the English IV class in  
room 400, Thursday, October 15. Miss  
Van Syoc's speech is the second of a  
series of discourses on Biblical literature  
to be given by students of English IV.  
The first of the series was given by Vir- 
ginia Carr Tuesday, October 13, on Ex- 
cavations in Egypt and Babylon.  
"There has been a succession of dis- 
coveries in the valley of the Nile which  
makes the knowledge of the ancient  
Egyptian's life far clearer than that of  
any other country," continued Miss Van  
Syoc. She stated that their manner of  
life can be understood through the study  
of their literature and for an example  
she told a story of Kadesh Aspies, found  
from the time of Ramses II. Miss Van  
Syoc also revealed that the old Egyptians  
had three different alphabets which were  
used by different classes of people.  
"Important among the discoveries of  
Egyptian excavations are the tablets of  
Amara. Amara is a village in Upper  
Egypt, where in a pit at the foot of the  
mountains were discovered hundreds of  
these relics, which later were distributed  
among the museums of London and Ber- 
lin.-  
To close, Miss Van Syoc read a hymn  
and mythological tale from the  Book of  
the Dead  which was placed in the tombs  
where the dead were buried.  
PASTOR MEYERS SHOWS FILM  
(Continued from page one)  
If it had not been for the well of  
Siloam, the speaker said, there would  
have been no Jerusalem. Near the spring  
was seen the spire said to be the tomb  
of Absalom.  
The Mosque of Omar, next seen,  
stands upon the ancient site of the tem-  
ple, on Mount Moriah, and contains a  
slab said to mark the spot where Abra- 
ham prepared to offer Isaac.  
A Mohammedan prayed beside the pool  
supposed to have been changed from  
salt to sweet by Elijah.  
At Tiberius on Galilee, fishers were  
seen mending their nets, as had Jesus'  
early disciples, The speaker described  
Galilee as a beautiful place of flowers. In  
the distance could be seen Mount Le- 
banon and the blue waters of the lake.  
The Dead Sea, 1270 feet below sea  
level, was pictured, with the traditional  
spot on the Jordan of Jesus' baptism.  
The primitive churns of skins were  
similar to the skin bottles referred to  
in one of Christ's parables.  
One really authentic memorial, the  
speaker declared, is the church built over  
the well of Jericho. Other scenes showed  
Capernaum and the plains of Jericho, the  
Mount of Transfiguration, and the well  
where Jesus talked with the woman of  
Samaria. By use of a present, the Sa- 
marian priests consented to allow their  
Decalogue to be photographed. Cana of  
Galilee, the scene of Christ's first re- 
corded miracle, was•presented. The Inn  
of the Good Samaritan recalled the Bible  
parable.  
Natives were seen at work in the fields,  
using the same crude methods of plow- 
ing and threshing as were used in Jesus'  
time.  
A steep hill, known as the Mount of  
Precipitation, is said to have been the  
one down which the Jews threatened  
to cast Jesus.  
Many interesting spots were depicted  
in Jerusalem. Some of the many gates  
were shown, the Joppa gate, the gate of  
commerce, Herod's gate including the  
sheep gate, where sheep were sold for  
temple sacrifice, and David's gate.  The  
streets of Jerusalem are extremely nar- 
row. On the ''Via Dolorosa" are four- 
teen places where Jesus is supposed to  
have stopped while carrying His cross.  
Next were shown the Garden of Geth- 
semane and the Mount of Olives, from  
which Jesus ascended.  
The pictures then turned, as did the  
New Testament church, to the northern  
part of the Holy Land, and views of  
Damascus, the oldest city in the world,  
were displayed. The group of Seventh- 
day Adventists missionaries at work in  
the heart of the city were shown.  
"The Christ whom we worship still  
lives," asserted Pastor Meyers in clos- 
ing. "Let us thank God that we are  
connected with a living movement that  
will never die."

THE FRONTIER SOLDIER  
JOHN MILTON FLATTEN  
The soldiers who served in the epic  
age of our West are rapidly passing 
away. They were actors in a heroic age,  
embodying better than any other pioneer  
type the conserving influence of law and  
order. The popular tradition of the sol- 
dier as the conqueror of "glory crowned  
heights" has nothing in common with  
the unrecognized career of the American  
regular soldier in the West. His career  
may almost be summarized as that of the  
settler's advance guard.  
Although it occurred too early to be  
part of the era during which our West  
was settled, the Lewis and Clark expedi- 
tion may be emphasized as exemplifying  
the soldier's place in the advance of  
American civilization. Here were two  
officers of the American regular army  
with a handful of men penetrating an un- 
known empire, not in search of gold or  
military laurels, but simply to gather for  
a civil government geographical and sci- 
entific information which would be of  
value to its citizens. Such is the story  
of the largest part of the soldier's work  
in the West,  
The army of the seventies and eight- 
les was a small organization, scattered  
in many small posts, mostly in the South  
and West, engaged in frequently unpleas-
ant duties, in controlling the Indians who  
were untaught, savage, suspicious of the  
white man for very good reasons; an  
army living a narrow, isolated, intimate  
post life, enjoying simple pleasures, hos-
pitable and generous, but underpaid, 
poorly appreciated, wretchedly housed;  
an army taught to obey, not given to  
unnecessary worry, happy-go-lucky, but  
admirable for its cheer, its gallantry and  
its ability to be happy under adverse  
circumstances. It was an army whose  
senior officers were mostly veterans of the  
Civil War, men who had had larger  
commands and done large things. The  
officers still talked much of the Civil  
War, still fought its battles on paper and  
in conversation, more or less convinced,  
perhaps, that military science had there- 
in reached close to perfection. Practic- 
ally all of these officers were cultured  
gentlemen. Their contributions to know- 
ledge of the flora and fauna of the United  
States were numerous and important.  
Soldiers the world over have faced  
life gaily. Theirs would be a dull lot  
indeed if they permitted its dangerous  
possibilities to lie upon it like a shadow.  
On the frontier they made the most of  
their opportunities, which, to be sure,  
were not great. There were dances, din- 
ners, and card parties or private theatri- 
cals, and anything else that ingenuity  
could devise to banish tedium and relieve  
monotony.  
The trail of advancing civilization was  
west-ward, and that vast unexplored  
region ever attracted the restless. The  
advance of settlement was in most cases  
over and along the original Indian trails.  
First came the hunter and wily fur trap- 
per, who followed in single file the tread  
of the aborigine. Then came an explor- 
ing party of white adventurers, who were  
apt to widen the trail slightly as they  
generally rode or walked abreast for  
company's sake. Later on followed two  
or three adventurous frontiersmen with a  
wagon or two, who widened it still more.  
Then finally came a marching column of  
soldiers, with heavy wagon trains well  
fitted out with axe, shovel, and spade,  
who held steadily to the direct line of the  
trail and did not turn aside for any or- 
dinary obstacle. They moved slowly  
but surely, filling up quagmires, cordu- 
roying swamps, bridging the ravines and  
smaller streams, cutting down the steep  
approaches to the bottom lands and to  
the river fords, chopping down the for- 
est trees standing in the path, and open-
ing a free highway to those who should  
follow. When they had reached their des-  

sciousness of duty well done. The Amer- 
ican regular accepts the badge of serv- 
vice in a spirit that makes it a mark of  
distinction, and does his whole duty at  
all times and under all circumstances  
unhestitatingly and without complaint.  
Integrity and Industry are the best pos- 
sessions which any man can have and  
every man can have them. Nobody can  
give them to him or take them away from  
him. He can not acquire them by inheri- 
tance: He can not buy them, or beg 
them, or borrow them. They belong to  
the individual and are his unquestionable  
property. He alone can part with them.  
They are a good thing to have and to  
keep. They make happy homes. They  
achieve success in every walk of life.  
They have won the grettest triumphs for  
mankind. They will bring you a comfort- 
able living and make you respect yourself  
and command the respect of your fellows.  
They are indispensable to success. They  
are invincible. The merchant requires the  
clerk whom he employs to have them.  
The railroad inquiries whether the man  
seeking employment possesses them. Ev- 
ery avenue of human endeavor welcomes  
them. They are the only keys to open  
with certainty the door of opportunity  
to struggling manhood. Employment  
waits on them. Capital requires them:  
Citizenship is not good without them.  
If you don't already have them—get  
them.  
Former Pastor Speaks  
(Continued from page one)  
may be so overcharged with the cares  
of this life that we haven't time to think  
about the hereafter. We neglect the study  
of God's word. The thief will come upon  
us and take us unawares. The people  
need to be awake to sense the time in  
which they are living and have a better  
relation with God. Are we living accord- 
ing to the light presented to us, and de  
we seek Him diligently that He will keep  
us in this hour of temptation? That hour  
is upon us now to try us.  
"The world is beginning to look more  
definitely to the Seventh-day Adventists  
and to ask them what these things mean  
in the financial and economic conditions  
of this world. Millions of dollars are com- 
ing into the hands of this denomination to  
use in spreading the gospel. The people  
cannot understand, but wonder what it  
all means. Can we not see God working  
in that? The days we are living in now  
are like the days of Noah, days of pleas- 
ure when men are marrying and giving  
in marriage. If ever a people should be  
filled with the glory of God it is this  
people, who are to be a witness to the  
world unto the end."  
It is announced that President Andrea- 
sen will speak over station WCAJ next  
Wednesday at 3:30 p. m., as well as the  
following two weeks. Dean Kime will  
speak at the same hour the next two  
weeks thereafter.
