L � • � LIB':... 'On PARK STATIC, ASFIINGTON D C Remember the Offering for China, December 11. 4Xerthern Union Outionh Official Organ of the Northern Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists Volume I � Nevada, Iowa, December, 7 1937 � Number 25 Our Work In China Further word has been received from China concerning the condition of our work in the war-stricken ter- ritory. Elder H. L. Shull writes as follows: "During the past few weeks we have had the very unusual experience of receiving by mail a postal money order for $69.00 and a list of thirty- ix names of subscribers who want our Signs. This list and money was sent in by someone not of our faith who took it upon himself to solicit these subscriptions and forward to us the full price. Good success is attend- ing the colporteur work in Hong- kong where our colporteurs can free- ly work. The Lord is certainly bless- ing our work from unexpected quar- ters. Our church paper, Sabbath school quarterlies, and other periodicals are being' printed regularly. We are hav- ing to ship our publications, Week of Prayer readings and other printed matter, by airplane and other unusual means, as the postal service and trans- portation are badly broken down." It is marvelous how God does care for His work even in troublesome times. Surely the Lord is with His people, and the hand of Providence di- rects the Advent movement. In a letter from one of the Chinese native workers to Elder John Oss, we find these words: "Now is the time to make definite plans, and I would appreciate word tom you if you think it feasible to ake the attempt this coming spring. The financial question is the largest item at present. We need to purchase animals in time and secure suitable clothing and supplies. We have on hand sufficient literature atm the mission has also provided a first- aid kit for my use. We should make definite plans well before the end of the year so there will be no delay next spring." This would indicate that the cot- porteur evangelists are of good cour- age in spite of the perplexities anu trials they are facing due to the disaster of war. Our work has been greatly handicapped and hindered be- cause of the war at Shanghai, which has brought great losses to this cause. Let us remember the time set aside for an offering to help this needy field in the Orient. Come prepared Sabbath, December 11, to participate in the relief that is planned for the Far East. The brethren expect a liberal offering, and let us not dis- appoint them. � E. H. Oswald. No Outlook December 28 It has been customary to publish fifty issues of our union conference paper a year, usually omitting one issue at camp meeting time and an- other during the holiday season. As publication of the Northern Union Outlook did not begin until in June 1937, we did not omit an issue at camp meeting time this year, but will plan to do so the Week of December 28. I mention it this early so that our con- tributors may plan accordingly and not be disappointed. Also, we would like to have some more of the copy reach the editor s desk earlier in the week than Thurs- day preceding the date of publication, as that will help the printing deparr- ment in their efforts to mail the Outlook on time. We regret that there is some unavoidable delay in the mails, especially at this time of the year, when they are congested with holiday material. It is also customary for all copy from local conference workers to be sent through the respective local con- ference offices, and be sure to send no copy direct to the printers at Ne- vada, Iowa, for that only delays its publication. All copy should be type- written, if possible, and double spac- ed ; also, quotations from the Bible and other references should be veri- fied by the writer of the copy and correct references given, You would be surprised to know how many of the quotations used' in Outlook copy are incorrectly quoted when the copy comes to the editorial office. Your cooperation in these matters will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. A. R. Smouse. ilngathering Business Men's Lists Our General, union, and local con- ferences are all agreed on the plan of calling in the Ingathering buisiness men's lists which our ministers and leading church solicitors have built up during this years ingathering campaign. We are asking for the on- ginal list with the firm's stamp or signature on it, and not a copy. These, lists will be kept in safe pieces in the conference office until next year. Then at the opening of the campaign, they will be returned to the owner or to those who must do the work in ease the individual has moved to another place, or, for some reason ne is unable to go out. These lists have been built up in the name of the organization and in the interest of the world-wide work and, therefore, cannot rightly be con sidered private property. We have lost thousands of dollars because these lists were carried away, lost, or kept by individuals who consider them their own, and meant well at the beginning. It is most embarrassing to canvass' firms who have faithfully given to our work over a period of years, with- out knowing what they have given in other years. We believe in the plan of asking the same person to canvass the same firms or individuals from year to year, and wish to give our word of honor that we do not intend to split up these lists and scatter the names among many church members, but to safe- guard them and make the work easier and more fruitful in years to come. May we therefore ask our workers to turn them in to their respective conference office at the end of this year. The name or names and address- es of solicitors should be carefully attached tO the lists. We thank you. D. E. Reiner. 2 • � NORTHERN UNION OUTLOOK The Close of The Year's Records Naturally it is your desire, as well as ours, to have all of the 1937 tithe and offerings included on the records before they, are closed for the year. It is customary for the local church treasurers to close their records and send their remittance immediately af- ter the last Sabbath in each month; so since the last Sabbath in 1937 falls on December 25, almost a week be- fore the actual end of the month, 1 write, this to suggest that all endeavor to turn in their tithe and offerings to their church treasurer on or before that date. It will also be greatly appreciated if camp meeting and Un- ion College Library building pledges can be paid by that time, so as to be included in the records for 1937. A. R.

Oak Park Academy Most of the students were away from the school for the brief Thanks- giving vacation period, but at the present time they are back at their work and giving evidence that they realize there are only a few more weeks until the semester examinations will be given. A new room has been added to the printshop, and at the present time shelving is being placed there to hold the Stock of paper necessary to carry on our work. A power cuttet, larger than the old hand paper cutter, has recently been installed, which will greatly facilitate the cutting of the paper. Since school started, new rugs have been purchased for the parlors in both dormitories, as well as new curtains for the windows. The old stair treads have been replaced with new ones, also, many of the floors have bee], sanded and a new floor covering ap- plied. During the Thanksgiving va- cation, the main entrance and two rooms on either side of it, were given a new coat of varnish, which adds to the appearance as one steps into the building. Mr. Culver and Mr. Parker have been visiting in the northwestern part of the conference in the interest of some needs here at the school. They were received very cordially, and their appeal met with a liberal response. The outstanding need right now is a new pasteurizer for the dairy, and it is encouraging to both students and teachers to know that the members of the conference are interested in seeing that these needs are supplied, It is only a few weeks until the second semester will begin. Those who might be interested in attending Oak Park then, may write to the school for all particulars. All ready some have made definite arrangements to enter school at that time, and we know that there are many others who should. Some girls who would be willing to work in homes over in the city for their board and room, thus having only the tuition to pay, can be accommodated, for already there are those in the city who have in- quired for help of that nature. bo let us know your desires, and we will be glad to plan with you, that you may enjoy the privil- � which only our schools can affor ' ?member the second semester begin January 17. During the past several weeks con- siderable work has been done about the school. The new broomshop has been completed; also, a steam line was laid out to the building, and unit heater installed. All this work with the exception of the tile work on the building waq done by the Ku- dents under the supervision of the teachers. Four winders have been In- stalled, with other equipment, so that about one hundred twenty-five dozen brooms are being made each week. Recently an order for five hundreu dozen brooms was received, and al ready about one hundred dozen oe them have bean delivered. Ask for. Oak Park brooms from your local merchant. If he doesn's have them, let us know, and we will try to see that he is supplied. Notice: Church Clerks It is very important that we re- ceive the names and complete ad- dresses of all the new officers for the year 1938, as soon as possible. I would like to get into their hands, the in- structions for the coming year. Will you please be so kind as to send these names and addresses as soon as you can? Please include the names of the Sabbath School officers, the Dor- cas leader, the Investment secretary, etc. � B. A. &herr. Iowa Colporteur Institute Elder Osgood opened our annual colporteur institute, in the new church in Des Moines, on November 14. This was the beginning of a ten-day period of very helpful and inspiring instruc- tion in colporteur evangelism by Elder P. D. Gerrard, Union Field Secretary. We are very happy to have Brother R. E. Bowles, from •the Pacific Press Branch at Omaha, spend several days with us. The moving pictures, show- ing how the Pacific Press operates, taking us from the office of the gen- eral manager to the completed publi- cations, proved to be very interesting, as well as educational. They helped us to realize the great amount of work which is put into each one of those truth-filled messengers.

Boehrig A Lay Preacher's Report "I wish to report some good news of our lay preachers efforts in Sioux City. One of our members, who lives in a small town twenty-five miles from here, yesterday, brought a mess- age from her father, saying that he is ready to take the step to unite with the Seventh-day Adventist people. "He is a man of seventy and about went wild when he heard his daughter had joined the Adventist church. Tie wanted to take the Adventist who did it all apart, but, now that he m won over, he is getting a good laugh out of it all. He is fully interested and is doing fine work in his town. Many people there are very anxious about the church which one of their home town girls left. Others an, interested and we go there to bola cottage meetings. Another family is convinced and, I am sure, will take their stand soon. "I believe we can build a group or believers in this town. The Bible in- structor at the Y. W. C. A. was much interested in the study last Friday evening, on the state of the dead. The minister even had some helpful suggestions. "It is wonderful what a layman 0a n do when. the Lord works with In." � Clifford Brown. North Dakota Conference D. N. WALL, PRESIDENT B. L. SCHLOTTKAUER, SECRETARY BOX 1491 - � - � - JAMESTOWN Make wills and legacies to North Dakota Conference Association of Seventh-day Adv.-ntists Evangelism Our evangelists are hard at work. I have just spent a week-end at Willis- ton where a real interest had been created through the labors of Sister Floyd Van Allen. Elder I. C. Schmidt-, is now conducting an effort there. On Sunday, November 21, we heln a baptismal service at which Eldet Schmidt baptized two of the new believers. There are others to follow and Elder Schmidt announced a sec- ond baptism for December 19. In Grand Forks where our 'believers have bought a church building, Bro- ther Geo. Rustad is conducting an effort. He found a man who is very friendly toward our work and has volunteered to pay the entire expense of a month's broadcasting. This radio work is excellent advertising for the meetings in the church building which has just been purchased. There are many interested people in and around Grand Forks and we believe the Lord will bless this effort with souls. Our congregation at Napoleon, • which has been without a permanent meeting place for some time, has re- cently bought a church building ann moved it to Napoleon. Our believers there have been very enthusiastic rL the matter of improving the building. They have reshingled the roof ana have painted the outside and inside of the church. Immediately after the building had been put on its new foundation in Napoleon, arrangements were made for Brother Hans Kuehne to locate there for the purpose or conducting an evangelistic effort. Soon after the paint on the building was dry, Brother Kuehne started to preach. He is very efficient in the German and is conducting the effort in that language. Our believers are cooperating most heartily: There is still a very real interest in and around Kathryn, and Brothren Frank Grau and Theo. Torkelson are conducting an effort there. For while it seemed that they would not be able to secure a meeting place, but they have finally succeeded in secur- ing one, which they have renovated and made to look inviting. There has been much opposition in this place, on the other hand there are many homes in which there is a real inter- est for the truth. Elder G. F. Theiss has begun al. effort in Streeter. There are many of our believers near Streeter who will do all they can to assist in this effort, toward helping to make it a real success. Brother V. Tkaehuk is aecompany- ing the writer on a visit to the church- es in his district. With all the e efforts of our con- fernee workers in progress, aka those of our lay evangelists, I am persuades that the Lord will give us a new harvest of sOuls. Wherever possible, every believer in North Dakota should cooperate with one of these efforts. D. N. Wall. News Items Elder Theiss is holding a series of meetings in Streeter. Elder and Sister D. N. Wall are visiting the churches in the north- western part of the state. Brother Hans Kuehne is holding a series of meetings in Napoleon. He reports a good attendance. Elder George Loewen spent the week end of November 27 with the Kathryn church. He states that the) had a very good attendance. The young people are active, and five Jun- iors were invested. The publishers of the Youth's in- structor are making a special offer on the Instructor for one month before Christmas. They are offerings a year's subscription for $1.50. This special rate is good for both new ana renewal subscriptions. With every new or renewal subscrip- to the Review, Big Four, and Family Group, entered by December 15, the Book and Bible House will give u Christian Home Calendar Free. "V-oh will want to take advantage of this offer and receive this beautiful calen- dar as a gift. As one goes through the streets, he already sees crowds looking over Christmas gifts. This is the season when almost everyone is thinking oi giving something to his friends anu loved ones. We suggest good books. What would be more appropriate, We have a good shock of inspirational ana children's books. The Christian Home Calendars and Morning Watch Caten- d.ars are also in stock. Make your. selections early. In a letter received front Brothel Grau, he states the following: "Bro- ther � was recently offered u position in a meat market at $140 a month. This brother is not regularly employed, so this must have meant a great deal to him; but he refuses because he could not do this and keep the Sabbath. Instead of being scorned and ridiculed, his prospective employer said, wish I had the faith that you have.' " Truly the world admires God's commandment-keeping people for being living epistles for God. The 1938 Reading Course books are in stock. We can take care of your orders promptly. � _ 4 � NORTHERN UNION OUTLOOK Hurry! If you want the Youth's Instruc- tor for the special rate. of $1.50, you must hurry in your order before De- cember 25, because the rate will be higher after that. We sincerely hope that every young person in you,. church will have sent in his sub- scription before that date. There is no paper Which we publish as a denomination, that is a greater help to our young people than the Youth's Instructor. The editor tells us that will be a better journal in 1938 than it was in 1937. That sounds good. Be sure your order is in before December 25. � Geo. Loewen. S. R. A. News The cold weather impels the boys to haul coal. Nine truck loads have been delivered to the academy. The new road from Harvey to the academy is opened in spite of the snow that has blocked many county roads. A stoker has been installed in the main building. It gives us even heat and saves on fuel; also, the class rooms are always comfortable. Professor Fowler spoke in the local Methodist church on Sunday night, November 28. The male quartette rendered a few selections at the sad,., service. The German II class gave a prk,- gram last Saturday night.

Brother Robert H. Brown is spenn- ing a few (lays in the office after an extended trip through the conference. The office has appreciated the good orders which have been coming in rot the Sabbath school supplies and other materials for the new year which are needed by the churches, as well as by the isolated members. Often times such orders are not sent in until the very close of the year when the mail service is congested, which causes de- lay and disappointment to those who are waiting for the supplies to arrive. We would like to suggest that your or- ders be placed as soon as possible after reading this note, which will be rendering a service to the office as well, for then orders can be filled be- fore the year-end rush crowds in upon us. A surprisingly large number of or- ders have been received for the new book "Man, Here and Hereafter" which is to be the Sabbath school les- son help for the first quarter of 1938. By sending in your order now you will have this splendid lesson help when the new quarter begins. The price is only 35c. It is important that all accounts owed the Bible House be squared up as soon as possible. All accounts should be paid in full before Decem- ber 31. The cooperation of those who owe the Bible House will 'be much appreciated in this respect. Elder J. H. Rhoads, spent Sabbath, November 27, with the Ash Grove church. There was a splendid atte.- dance at the church, made up large- ly of young people. The Madison church was favored on Sabbath, November 27, by having Elder F. E. Bresee, principal of the Union College Academy, speak to them during the 11 o'clock hour. We ap- preciate the visits through the fielu, of those who are, leading out in the work at Union College, to encourage our young people in seeking for a higher Christian education. Word has been received that the work of excavating and erection of the new Union College Library has begun. Inasmuch as a portion of the funds necessary to erect this needed building has been promised by the members of the South Dakota Con- ference, we hope that those who have pledged, but have not as yet met their pledges, will meet them as soon as possible, so that funds can be sem, on, for they are greatly needed as this time.

About twenty-five earnest laymen were in attendance. We were very fortunate in being able to secure General Conference help. Elder Rasmussen, the home mis- sionary secretary of the General Con- ference, was with us, and his help was greatly appreciated. Elder E. H. Oswald, our union conference presid- ent, and Elder D. E. Reiner, our union conference home missionary secretary, were with us and gave) most excellent help. From the very beginning, the in- stitute was made just as practical as possible. Careful study was given to those subjects which are of special interest to the lay preachers. Simplici- ty was stressed, with the idea of en- couraging the inexperienced worker to begin in a small way, and work toward greater things. Home Bible studies was mentioned as one of the very best ways for a beginner to start his work. The close cooperation with the church and conference was also stressed. It was understood that before any hall or evangelistic effort is started, the matter is to he brought before the church board and their counsel ann cooperation sought. Elder J. Christenson, our conference home mis sionary secretary, stands ready to counsel with or give any help possible to our laymen who anticipate starting a series of evangelistic meetings. At the close of the institute: all ex- pressed themselves as having greatly appreciated the help received, ann hope, that other such meetings may be held in the future. V. E.

Olson states that fourteen dollars more will put his district over the top in Harvest ngathering. Elder and Mrs. Penh were at the Dodge Center church over the week end of November 27. Elder Peugh spoke to the young people on Friday evening, and also stoke at the eleven o'clock hour on Sabbath. In the after- noon they went to Rochest,ir to assist' in- the convention. News Briefs The home missionary conventions at Rochester and Faribault tiere very well attended, and all felt that much valuable instruction was given. The Dodge Center members met with the Rochester church, and the Owatana members attended the Faribault con- vention. Those whO led out in the work were the union conference home missionary secretary, the confeerne., president, the conference home mis- sionary secretary, and the district leader. Several conventions of this type will be held this winter in vari- ous parts of the state. We are nearing the end of the yea). and Ingathering returns are coming in from many of our Sabbath schools. Indications are that we will not fail short of last year's splendid total. We are anxiously awaiting reports from a number of ,Sabbath schools that could assure us another new record. Don't forget to hold the In- vestment program. We were happy to find that our per capita offerings for Sabbath school were the highest in the union, but we are still 50`rz short of our goal of 25 cents a week per member. Many of our members are forming the habit of giving 20 cents each Sabbath, and we are look- ing for several hundred more to join this loyal group to help bring up our per capita offerings. Come join our loyal band. A number of singing bands went out Thanksgiving eve and sang fol Haiwest Ingathering. Somehow the people are in the attitude of giving during these holidays and our work might as well reap a part of the bene- fit. Very soon the Christmas season will he here and all the singing bands should plan on singing Christmas car- ols at that time. It will help to swell our mission funds, also bring good cheer and glad tidings of the gospel to heathen souls across the sea. Many are subscribing for the Re- view, Big Four or Family Group dur- in the first half of December, and are receiving the beautiful Christian Home Art Calendar free. New or re- newal subscriptions, during this time, entitle you to the free calendar. When ordered separately, from the Bible House the calendars are 25 cents each. You should have one in your home for 1938. Orders for 65,000 of the new "Voice of Prophecy" tract series have been received and filled. Our evangelists and church elders speak very highly of this set of twelve numbers. The price is $4.50 for 1200 but the con- ference will pay for half of your or- der, which, means that you can get 1200 tracts (100 of each number) for $2.25. They are going rapidly, so the ministers and churches shoulu plan for their literature work for 1938 and send in an order to supply their needs. Eour additional churches are now entitled to a place on the Harvest In- gathering Honor Roll: Virgina, St. Paul Scandinavian, Morgan, and. Wells. We greatly appreciate the ef- forts put forth by these churches. J. C. Christensen The Willmar Effort Having labored in the Lake Union Conference for almost twelve years as a minister, first as a pastor in Chicago and later in Wisconsin, I an- swered a call to the Minnesota Con- ference about April 1, 1937. After school was out last spring, I moved my family to Minnesota. We attended the camp meeting at Anoka, and great- ly enjoyed the friendly spirit ana welcome of the ministry as well as that of lay brethren. After camp meeting the conference committee ask me to hold a tent effort in Willmar, Minnesota. We were able to locate a beautiful lot in that city, and I was assisted by Charles Smith and Hilda Madsen, bgth• teachers of -the church schools in Minneapolis; also, Palma and Syl- via Lockert as pianists. The members of the local church deserve credit for their excellent -spirit of cooperation. On Sunday night, July 11, we open- ed our first meeting with the subject, "The 'World in Turmoil." The atten- dance the first night was only ninety- five. The church membership there was fourteen, not a large church. We never had a large attendance. The largest we ever had was one hundred and seventy-five. It was rather a hard city to reach, and the ministers of the different denominations were very active in working against us; but in spite-of that, the Lord blessed us with some honest souls. At the close of seven weeks of meetings, our hearts were cheered by those who took their stand for the blesseu truth and expressed a willingness to serve their God. Eleven were added to the church, ten by baptism and one by profession of faith. The writer has also held some church meetings with good results. As the seed 'has' been sown, God has blessed in a wonderful way. In all, so far this year, eighteen have been baptized and added to the church, and we give Him all the glory and praise. I might also say it has been a great inspiration to help in the churches in the Harvest Ingathering. Of the twelve churches in my district, every one has gone "over the top" in reach- ing its goal. As far as I know now, I believe the district has over four- teen hundred dollars, for which we are glad and hope it will be a great blessing to the foreign missions. We are confident that Jesus Christ is coming very soon. It is time that our laity workers join hands more firmly to finish this gospel in all the world. With Christ as the command- er, we must press on to victory. At the present time we are located in Hutchinson. We are glad that, we can have our children in church school and at Maplewood Academy. Our address is 120 South Grove Street Hutchinson, Minnesota. A. J. Lockert Wedding The marriage of Miss Vivian Mar- guerite Dalquist to Merrill Adolpu Briggs took place at 10 A.

"in order to manifest the character • of God, in order that we may not deceive ourselves the church, and the world, by a counterfeit Christianity, we must become personally acquainted with God, we are His miniaters, though we may never preach to a congregation. We are workers to- gether with God in presenting the perfection of His character in hu- manity."-" Testimonies," Vol. VI, p. 13.
