'For what nation is there so great,  
that hath statutes and judgments so right- 
eous as all this law .which I set before  
you this day.' These were the words of  
Moses to the people after his earnest  
prayer that God might permit him to  
enter the promised land," said Pastor Baer 
in his Sabbath sermon.  
He said that Moses was a man of  
prayer as the result of the early training  
received from his mother, and he recom- 
mended to all mothers and fathers the  
attitude of Moses' mother in the training  
of children. He said, "There is an unseen  
hand that guides the destiny of every  
human being. This hand guides our  
lives.  
— The effectual fervent prayer of a  
righteous man availeth much.' Moses  
knew where he could go in the time of  
need. Although God did not permit him  
to enter the promised land he had greater  
plans for the great leader. Elijah was a  
man of fervent prayer. When Peter was  
in prison it was prayer that opened the  
prison doors the same as was done for  
Paul and Silas."  
Pastor Baer declared that many a  
mother's prayer in behalf of her son has  
been answered and that prayer is ac- 
complishing much in the hearts of men  
and women. He urged that the week set 
aside for this devotion be met in a way  
that will bring real spiritual blessing.  
THANKSGIVING PROGRAM GIVEN  
IN THE CHURCH  
_ .At 3.3C• ea -...11  Sabbath afternoon the  
village Missionary Volunteers hold their  
meeting. All are invited to attend and  
become members. Here is an account of  
the meeting last week.  
-Harvest Time" was the opening song,  
after which Mr. McWilliams offered pray- 
er and the collection was taken. The aud- 
ience sang another song,  - Count Your  
Mercies."  
Mr. Habenicht told of Thanksgiving in  
other lands, mentioning their customs and  
the conditions in different countries. Miss  
Hiatt gave a reading, "Benefits Forgot,"  
which is said to be a true incident in  
Abraham Lincoln's life. The closing song  
was "Jesus Calls Us, -   after which Wil- 
fred Emery offered the benediction.  
"Mock turkey, candied sweet potatoes,  
cauliflower, creamed peas, twice-baked po- 
tatoes, dream salad, cottage cheese---,"  
murmured Louise.  
"What are you talking about, anyway?  
Is that what you would like to have had  
for Thanksgiving dinner?" asked Cora.  
"No I was just naming the things we  
did  have. That's what you missed by  
not being there. And I almost forgot to  
mention pumpkin pie and ice cream. It  
was brick ice cream with pumpkin design  
in the center.  
"The tables were arranged in the shape  
of a U, and places were set for two hun- 
dred guests. The place cards were min- 
ature Mayflowers and were held in place  
on the table by a small stone representing  
Plymouth Rock. The waiters and wai- 
tresses were twelve Indians and twelve  
Puritans. The Indians were Leota Gibson,  
Willie Dee Wilson, Fonda Campbell,  
Edythe Buck, William Whitson, Haskell  
Baker, Leon Baker, Ben Dupper, James  
Gaitens, and Calvin Gordon. The Puri- 
tans were Ruth Butterbaugh, Velma Gib- 
son, Grace Cox, Helen Bousman, Elsie  
Mohr, Eunice Mantz, Alva Phillips, Har-  
SEMINARIANS HOLD SERVICES  
Sabbath morning Wendall Wolfe  
spoke at the Cortland services and was  
assisted by Willard Wentland. In the 
afternoon he spoke at Beatrice and was 
assisted by Lester Trubey. Mr. Went- 
land and Allie Banik went on to Fairbury,  
where Mr. Wentland spoke on "Saved to  
the Uttermost," using Hebrews 7:25 as  

Northern  Union Field Sec'y. Says House  
to House Work is Important  
'There is a marked similarity between  
the giving of the first angel's message and  
that of the third," stated Pastor George  
Campbell, field missionary secretary of  
the Northern Union, as he addressed the  
students in chapel Wednesday. He said  
that both messages arc messages of pro- 
phecy given by laymen and the Lord is  
going to use the laymen as his primary  
means of doing this last great work.  
Pastor Campell emphasized that every- 
one who receives Christ carries a respon- 
sibility to give the message to the extent  
of the talents he has, in some way advanc-  
ing the message.  	 He said that the first  
message was given from house-to-house  
way and that to a large degree the work  
of this last angel will be done in the  
same manner.  
Nearly every country in the world has  
access to our books, many times only  
through the severe persecutions suffered  
by the colporteurs, he said. He mention- 
ed one bookman in Europe who reported  
more beatings than orders, but who, like  
many others, continues his work with a  
courage that only God can give.  
Pastor Campbell explained the scholar- 
ship plan for students in which the student  
sells $484 worth of books and thus saves  
$60.50 on his school expenses. He said  
that many young people go out in the  
summer and actually clear a thousand dol- 
lars, and anyone with firm resolve can do  
it. He emphasized, however, that the mo- 
tive one ought to have is the desire to give 
the message rather than financial success.

"Between courses Hazel Kipp and Lil- 
lian Meyer gave musical numbers. Then  
after dinner we had a two scene arrange- 
ment of the 'Courtship of Miles Standish.'  
Irene Anderson was Priscilla Mullen,  
Russell Holmes was John Alden, and Jess  
Storrs was Standish. They had a real  
spinning wheel and were dressed like real  
Puritans.  
"And oh, yes, You should have seen  
the large picture at the back of the plat- 
form. It was the picture of a ship at  
anchor in the harbor at Plymouth. Doris  
Miler read 'Jacob in the Barrel' and 'The  
Jersey Cow,' and Fonda Campbell sang  
two Indian songs, 'Pale Moon' and 'From  
the Land of the Sky Blue Waters.' -  
"Why, I stayed over in my room and  
ate dinner from a box mother sent me  
because I didn't suppose there would be  
anything interesting in the dining room;  
but from all you have said I wouldn't  
have minded being there in the least,"  
said Cora.

selections,  
Ellis Storing and Emil Fick went to  
Fremont Friday evening, where Mr. Fick  
spoke at the evening meeting. Mr. Stor- 
ing conducted the Sabbath morning serv- 
ice.  
Professor Ogden and President Thomp- 
son led marches in the college gymnasium  
Saturday night.  

"Ten cents is offered. Who'll give  
fifteen? Right over here; all right, fifteen."  
The bidding lagged, the atmosphere was  
heavy. It was hot! The auctioneer  
paused and took off his sweater. "Fifty  
cents—seventy-five—eighty--" The boys  
have caught the spirit—all were bidding  
on the exposed suspenders of Bert Mc- 
Broom, the auctioneer.  
If you have not caught the spirit yet,  
all this is a result of an action used as  
the initial flare in a campaign of the boys  
for the improvement of South hall.  
Dwight W. Morrow, ambassador to  
Mexico, has been selected to succeed  
Walter Edge as senator from New Jersey.  
Ambassador Morrow will take up his  
duties upon his return from the naval con- 
ference in London.  
A construction and maintenance pro- 
gram of nearly $2,000,000,000 for the  
coming year was outlined this week by  
President Hoover as spokesman for the  
public utilities of the country. This is an  
expansion of more than $100,000,000 over 
expenditures for the same purpose last  
year.  
After lying for ten years in lonely Si- 
berian graves, the bodies of seventy-five  
American war dead are to be buried in  
their homeland. The Americans had been  
sent to the Archangel front as part of an  
allied force to prevent the Germans from  
seizing the northern Russian area in 1918- 
'19. They were members of the 339 in- 
fantry.  
The evacuation of the French troci,s  
from the Rhineland zone on Novembert3O  
was marked by the tolling of church bells  
and joyous ceremonies held in all the `,- 
500 square miles of once occupied ter- 
ritory. Hauling down the tri-colored flag  
of France marked the end of eleven years  
of foreign occupation.  
Roof Damaged by Bricks  
Building Trembles as  Bricks Leave Wall;  
Believed Caused by Wind  
If  one had been around South hall  
about 2:20 Sunday afternoon and heard  
the loud crash that set the building to  
trembling, he would have thought that  
another war had broken out and that  
South hall was in the front line.  
Consternation among the boys followed  
the crash.  
It was found that on the north side of  
the south wing a portion of the brick ven- 
eer wall had given away and fallen on the  
roof of the serving room. A strip about  
twenty feet wide and fifteen feet long had  
crumbled away. The force and weight of  
the brick was so terrific that several holes  
were made in the roof, knocking the  
plaster from the ceiling and breaking the  
laths. The serving room was damaged'  
breaking the ventilator windows and the  
glass trays on the serving decks. The  
floor was covered with plaster and broken 
laths.  
No one was in the room at the time  
of the crash, but there were several In the  
adjoining kitchen. The reason for the  
crumbling of the wall is not known, but  
it is believed to have been caused by the  
pressure of the heavy wind which was  
blowing.  
"Give what you have to someone. It  
may be better than you dare think."  
—Longfellow  
"There are two elements that go to the  
composition of friendship. One is truth,  
and the other is tenderness."  

The boys are after five hundred dollars.  
As a means of getting this they are so- 
liciting friends in the village, former stu- 
dents of Union, friends at home, and any  
others having interest in the college.  
Letters are being written. Have you  
received yours? If not, send in your do- 
nation--based on the value of South hall  
memories--before you will feel obligated  
to send several, due to the receipt of dup- 
licate letters. Replies should arrive at  
South hall before the first of the year, the  
close of the drive.  
The Seventy-first congress meets on  
'December 2 to undertake an enormous  
amount of legislation which will require  
four to six months of steady work. The  
grist of legislation embraces everything  
from tax reduction to prohibition reform,  
tariff revision, and political elections.  
"Tax reduction by Christmas -   is the  
slogan.  
Commander Richard E. Byrd, expedi- 
tion leader who is exploring unknown  
regions of the south pole, has successfully  
made a flight across the south pole in  
which he surveyed much adjacent terri- 
tory. The flight of approximately 1,600 
miles was without mishap. Commander  
Byrd is the only man who has the distinc- 
tion of flying over both poles of the earth.  
He also crossed the Atlantic by airplane 
from New York to Ver-sur-mer, France.  
The entire Pacific coast is in the grip  
of a severe drouth. The driest Novem- 
ber in forty years, with no relief in im- 
mediate prospect, is the outlook. Water  
is being sold by the gallon in California,  
a id in Washington entire cities seek  
means to keep their electric lights burn- 
ing. Cattle are reported dying from lack  
of. water and in Oregon sixteen forest  
fires were raging with more than 22,000  
acres of timberland already laid in waste.  
Prayers from almost every donomination  
from all parts of the Pacific coast were  
offered seeking divine intercession for the  
parched districts.  
Old People Are Cheered  
Thanksgiving Program Given at Poor  
Farm by College Sunshine Band  
There was only one thing we enjoyed  
better than our Thanksgiving dinner here  
at school and that was the pleasure we  
had of giving the dear old people at the  
county poor farm a real after-dinner pro- 
gram.  
We were all able to get into Brother  
William's car together with Mr. Banik's  
guitar and Miss Kipp's violin. We arriv- 
ed, after some delay, just as the old people  
were finishing the evening meal. The  
program was given in the dining room.  
First, Mr. Banik played "Home Sweet  
Home" with variations representing differ- 
ent members of the family. Two of our  
young Sunshine band workers sang the  
song, "Father We Thank Thee, -   after  
which the story of "The Thanksgiving  
Guest" was read. Miss Hiatt gave a  
reading entitled "Other Birds Learn to  
Fly," by Wiggins, and Miss Esther Nel- 
son sang some old folk songs. Miss Kipp  
closed the program with three violin se- 
lections.  
The old people also expressed apprecia- 
tion for the meetings conducted for them  
on Sabbath.—James Gaitens.  
"A sunny temper is an aroma whose  
fragrance fills the air with an odor of  
paradise."  
"You cannot dream yourself into a  
character—you must hammer, and forge  
one for yourself."

BOYS FETED BY GIRLS  
Meaning of Thanksgiving Day Given  
by Girls in Dialogue  
Boys remaining at the college during  
Thanksgiving vacation were entertained  
by the girls in North hall Wednesday  
evening in place of the usual reception by  
the faculty.  
The evening's fete consisted of a pro- 
gram followed by games and refreshments.  
Those having part on the program were:  
Emma Lou Davis, who sang 'Neath the  
Autumn Moon"; Hazel Kipp, violinist,  
played "The Rosary" and "The Mocking  
Bird"; Miss Lulu Hiatt gave three read- 
ings, "The Ruggles Family Goes to a  
Dinner Party," "The Hen," and "I ain't  
'Gonna Cry No More." A group of girls  
took part in a dialogue which concerned  
the meaning of Thanksgiving day.  
Prizes were won by Lucille Howe, who  
was .   judged the best dressed girl after being  
attired in newspapers, and Wilbur Essig,  
who proved himself the most efficient trad- 
er in a game in which beans were traded  
for slips of paper. "Nuts" of the college  
were arraigned on the stage as a climax  
to a mythical play called "The Gathering  
of the Nuts."  
Refreshments consisted of apple pie and  
whipped cream served with hot chocolate.  
THANKSGIVING PROGRAM GIVEN  
IN THE CHURCH  
Seventeen years ago the church council  
of the College View S. D. A. church, in  
discussing plans for a Thanksgiving pro- 
gram, decided upon a suggestion which  
has become the traditional custom of the  
church. Each year on the Wednesday  
evening before Thanksgiving a program  
is given by the children of the Sabbath  
school and normal training school. On  
this evening the children all march in, each  
carrying a contribution of food stuffs to  
help furnish a Thanksgiving dinner for  
those less fortunate in the community.  
These foods, including potatoes, sacks of  
flour, apples,and every variety of canned  
V CCI 	 ..1111C  
one at the front of the church and placed 
on the platform to be distributed the next  
day by the church deaconesses.  
The following is the program that was  
given this year under the direction of Mrs.  
J. C. Turner: Song, "Why We're Thank- 
ful", intermediate room; scriptures on  
Thanksgiving, intermediate room; prayer,  
P. L. Thompson; welcome, Dickie Bee- 
man; essay, "Origin of Thanksgiving,"  
Helen Stevens; song, "Giving Thanks",  
primary room; dialogue, "Thanksgiving  
of the Clock", twelve primary children;  
recitation, "Landing of the Pilgrims," Ethel  
Mason; dialogue, "American Girls of Yes- 
terday and Today," five intermediate girls;  
song, "Harvest Song," Ethel Mason and  
and Helen Stevens.  
Although the weather was cold and  
threatening and many of the students were  
home on vacation, Sabbath morning found  
a large group of young people in Sabbath  
school. 	 •  
Dr. Pfeiler spoke to us on missions.  
Touched by the sentiment of the song  
which Theodore Howard had sung, he ex- 
pressed the spirit of missions by quoting  
a little German verse which said that  
whosoever knows the truth and spreads  
it not is like a miserable creature.  
He further said, "Talk and action are  
two things which oppose each other. Talk  
is admired by most people and justly so,  
for when one is convinced of a thing that  
is true, he should talk it. No one can  
accuse the Seventh-day Adventists of too  
much talking because what they say is  
true, and truth can not be talked too  
much.  
"History is nothing more than a drama,  
and in order to stage a successful per- 
formance there must be unity of place,  
time, and action. We are living in the  
last act, and all are actors. There is no  
question but that Adventists are fulfilling  
the last act of this world drama."  
Dr. Pfeiler then read to us the follow- 
ing letter from A. Henning, a minister in  
Hamburg. "The work does not go as  
easily and smoothly as it did. However,  
it would be wrong to think that the power  
of the message has been weakened. The  
reports from the heathen countries prove  
that the message is overwhelmingly ef- 
fective. But it seems to me that the re- 
ceptiveness of the Germans has decreased.  
"No country has been flooded as much  
as Germany by spiritual and religious  
movements. In the same manner as the  

CRIMINAL CODE  
AND SCHOOL LIFE  
President Thompson Discusses  
Difference In Tattling and  
Doing One's Duty  
TATTLERS TABOOED  
But Failure to Report Anything  Which Is  
Harmful to Community  Puts One  
On Wrong Side  
In discussing the criminal code and its  
various forms President P .L. Thompson  
in Monday's chapel said that the history  
of allegiance to sinful friends accounts for  
more downfalls than anything else. In- 
school life administrative men and women  
do not care to have some one considering  
it his duty to report the unimportant de- 
tails of school life that may not be exactly  
perfect, and at the same time it is not the  
"spirit of a citizen" to maintain a passive  
attitude toward those who break the re- 
gulations, he brought out.  
President Thompson contended that  
there is nothing to lower a person in the  
eyes of his fellow associates if he reports  
to the proper authorities dishonest acts 
that are harmful to the community, and 
that one who refrains from reporting puts  
himself on the side of wrong.  
He gave illustrations of problems he  
had met and told his reasons for the  de- 
cisions  he made. The criminal law  of  
allegiance to an accomplice or to a lie  
ruins the lives of those who indulge, he  
pointed out. A man who lies to protect  
a criminal friend is living up to the crim- 
inal code, he explained.  
He stated that it is foolish to expect to  
treat all criminals alike and futile to ex- 
pect to convict every criminal. The ideas  
that President Thompson advocated are  
honesty and thorough interest in good  
citizenship and law enforcement.  
MRS.  D. G.  HILTS ENTERTAINS AT  
INFORMAL  LUNCHEON  
Mrs. D. G. Hilts entertained at an in- 
formal luncheon in her home Saturday  
evening. Games and various contests which  
tested the skill and wit of the participants  
occupied the first part of the evening.  
The following guests were present:  
Messers. and Mesdames W. Pfeiler, Lars  
Christenson, Gene Stout, Felix Lorenz,  
Emmanuel Humann, W. B. Johnson,  
Alonzo Cornell, and Torval Johnson.  
"Before me, even as behind, God is,  
and all is well."—Whittier.  
Catholic church gains ground, everything  
Asiatic and mystic makes headway. Even  
before the last great bloody war between  
the yellow and white races the spirit of  
Asia has defeated western civilization  
spiritually. More and more men turn their  
ears away from the truth to the fables,  
theosophy, Buddhism, and the like, which 
they consider a more refined philosophy of  
life, but which in reality is nothing more  
than materialism disguised and atheism.  
"Moreover pseudo-signs have systema- 
tically undermined the foundation of faith,  
and this prepared the way for the com- 
plete apostacy of mankind. Not only the  
individual rejects the Bible but also the  
masses. We are right in the midst of a  
struggle which is now weighed against  
the truth. The  - Entgottung -  (the pro- 
cess of getting rid of God) has increased  
in Germany in a measure horrible to any  
faithful observing Christian."  
Dr. Pfeiler continued by telling us of  
the progress of Christianity in Italy, the  
land of the Pope. Mussolini has granted  
our people permission to preach the gos- 
pel. He closed by quoting a German  
poet who said: What is the use of search- 
ing for the way of truth if I do not show  
it to my brothers.  
The regular order was carried out in  
the remainder of the program which con- 
sisted of the following features: An organ  
prelude by Prof. Ledington; the Scripture  
reading by John Phillips; the report, in  
which was expressed a thankfulness for  
all the privileges of the Sabbath school; 
a vocal selection by Theodore Howard,  
"His Eye is on the Sparrow"; the review  
by Merrill Smith; and the regular class  
recitation.

QUESTION  
What should the paper of a Christian  
college contain?  
ANSWERS  
A Christian college paper should con- 
tain news of the various activities of the  
school. This material should be presented  
in such a manner as to portray the school  
in its true light. The paper should print  
articles that would boost the college and  
create an interest in the mind of every  
reader. The religious life of the school  
should be the central theme of the paper's  
message. Above all, the paper should  
preserve the dignity and respect of the  
school. —A  STUDENT.  
The paper of a Christian college should  
be an indication of the tone of the col- 
lege. It should contain features of school 
life which interest the people in the field,  
campus life for the students, alumni ac- 
tivities always up to date, news notes in  
a moderate way of people coming and  
going.  
The paper should not be a church  
paper, nor play up all the parties, hikes  
and sports, for field workers say, "They  
don't have anything but parties over there  
at Union college; something is wrong

Dear Paul,  
I don't take a daily paper now. THE  
CLOCK  TOWER  has plenty of news in it  
for me at present, and all digested at that.  
I have been working with the Harvest  
Ingathering ever since campmeeting, but  
now I'm planning for some meetings  
which I will begin about the first of the  
year. . . I'm learning to like the minister- 
ial work more than I thought I would.  
But it is a real job to do it right. It  
surely makes me feel queer when I stop  
to think of the responsibility that rests  
on me here. I'll have no help in my  
meetings but my wife. So you see our 
metal will be tried severely. But our  
courage and hope is good, although we  
meet with hard problems.  
Very sincerely your friend,

EDITORIAL  
What a great variety of sisters we  
have! There is really no need of enter- 
ing into a lengthy discussion of kinds,  
ei-n•e, and ty r os- but let lac enti=ercite o  
few of these, merely to remind ourselves  
of the vast scope included in that seven- 
letter word appearing as the title of this  
series of remarks. There are:  

By  ELIZABETH LOTHIAN  
Less than half a century ago the faculty  
member who is to be the subject of our  
"Guess Who" article this week was born  
near the town of Coshocton, in a log cab- 
in along the Buckeye river.  
This person is the youngest member of  
a family of nine children. With four bro- 
thers and four sisters to keep the balance  
equal, this younger member did not be- 
come a "pampered and spoiled child."  
Another fact which helped to overcome  
the lucky misfortune of being the baby of 
the family was the advantage our "guess  
who" person had of being born in the  
state, and in the kind of house, in which 
so many of our great men are born.  
The early years of this individual's life  
were spent near the birthplace, where a  
natural love for nature and all outdoor  
sports was developed. Near this home  
Chief Goshocinaw used to have his tribal  
village, which made it a good place to  
hunt for arrow heads and other Indian re- 
lics, and added to the thrills experienced  
in fishing, boat riding, etc.  
But this carefree life could not go on,  
as this "to be Union college faculty  
member" must go to school to slong with  
other young folks. However, the events 
of going to school and moving to the  
city at that time did not change this  
person's love for all outdoor sports, to  
which was added baseball and other  
school games.  
Becoming an Adventist before the high  
school days were over, this young person  
was sent to one of our academies near  
the scenes of the old home, and later came  
to Union college, where a degree was re- 
ceived.  
As we see this member of our faculty  
today we think of a medium-sized person  
with blue-gray eyes, black hair, and a  
very agreeable disposition, made especial- 
ly noticeable by a pleasant smile, and a  
cheery "Good morning" for all who come  
to class.  
This is even manifest on mornings  
when a whole class period is to be de- 
voted to a good  stiff  test. These tests at  
times seem to feature history as this  
person's hobby, though that is not the  
regular line of teaching.  
Baby sisters, slender sisters,- 
Younger sisters, tender sisters,  
Sisters pretty, sisters lean,  
Every kind are to be seen.  
Some think Brothers all in all.  
Others think him rather small.  
But sister is sister whate'er her name.  
Well love and serve her just the same.  
Of course, step-sisters, sisters-in-law,  
and a great many others are not men- 
tioned in the foregoing lines, but they will  
not hold a very large place in this article  
anyway. The remaining space is allotted  
to "sisters" of that variety classed as  
younger sisters, whose brothers are under  
the following impressions at various  
stages in life.  
About the first responsibility to settle  
on Brother's shoulders is that of desert- 
ing his marbles, trains, coaster wagon, or  
some other form of entertainment so dear  
to the boyish heart, and taking Sister for  
a ride in her new carriage. Although his  
tiny hands can hardly reach high enough 
to grasp the handle, he must, at this early  
age, become Sister's devoted slave. Many  
times must he forsake pleasure for the  
task of amusing Sister while Mother is  
busy, and many times with tear-dimmed  
eyes  and twitching lips must he forfeit  
some choice bit of candy to the one  
"It should not be difficult to remember  
that the Lord desires you to lay your  
trouble and perplexities at His feet, and  
leave them there."—Testimonies to  Gos- 
pel Workers,  p. 518.  
"We need constantly a fresh revelation  
of Christ, a daily experience that harmon- 
izes with His teachings."—Gospel  Work- 
ers,  p. 274.   

tian school, different from others, and its  
school paper should be different too.— 
W.  WENTLAND.  
Primarily the paper of a Christian col- 
lege should contain news of the spiritual  
welfare of the school, including reports  
of sermons, chapel exercises, and the  
branches of missionary volunteer work.  
Probably next in importance would be  
the social affairs, and the departmental  
news, both industrial and scholastic.  
Alumni news is of much importance but  
must be varied, the same as community  
news, according to the paper's circulation.  
Feature articles, pithy sayings, poems,  
etc., which originate with the students,  
give a personal touch to the paper. A  
few short items posting the readers on  
what the world is doing are in place.  
Each article in the paper should be  
given space in proportion to the impor- 
tance it holds in consideration of the  
class of subscribers. —A  STUDENT.  
A Christian college paper should con- 
tain only those things that are in har- 
mony with Christian thinking and Chris-
tian living, stated in an optimistic, cheer- 
ful tone, not prosey and long-faced.  
The subjects considered may be among  
the following:  
1. Health and welfare of members of  
the board, faculty, and students.  
North hall.  
South hall.  
Non-dormitory.  
2. Activities of various spiritual, social,  
and sport groups.  
3. That which is of interest in the com- 
munity. —R.  W. LEACH.  
"The feeling of guiltiness must be laid  
at the foot of the cross or it will poison  
the springs of  life."—Testimonies to Gos- 
pel Workers,  p. 518.  
"We need the Spirit of God within us  
in order to reach heaven, and the work  
of Christ without us in order to give us a  
title to the immortal inheritance."—Testi- 
monies to Gospel Workers,  p. 442.  

Dear Fred,  
I notice you mention  THE  CLOCK  
TOWER  quite frequently in your letter.  
Mine has stopped coming and I miss its  
visits. I will be glad to get it again. You  
may speak to the business office there and  
have them charge  THE CLOCK TOWER  to  
me through the General conference. In  
that way they will get their money and  
it will save me the trouble of standing in  
line for an hour or two at the postoffice  
here to buy a money order. The  Golden  
Cords  came in due time.  
You mention in your letter that you  
were burning seven tons of coal a day  
there. We sometimes wish that we could  
have a little of your cold weather over  
this way. We have plenty of heat here  
all the time and it is seldom that any- 
one freezes an ear or a toe. In fact, I  
think if someone should do that over here  
he would consider himself quite fortunate  
indeed.  
I do not know whether or not you ever  
met Brother John Scott, who is a former  
Union college graduate. The other eve- 
ning I came from town and walked into  
my parlor and he was sitting there. He  
came out to the islands to teach public  
school and is now located up in the sec- 
tion I wrote to you about in my former  
letter, the place where all of those swift  
rivers are. Scotty and I went to the  
academy together back in Iowa about  
eleven years ago and I guess I have not  
seen him since he left school in 1918. He  
is a fine young man but believe he will  
have'some trouble over the  - Sabbath gas- 
tion, as they have school on Saturday  
here several days in the year.  
The work is going forward by leaps  
and bounds here in the Philippines. God  
is blessing the efforts of evangelists and  
colporteurs and people are accepting the  
truth in large numbers. I presume we  
will have in the vicinity of two thousand  
baptisms this year. It is remarkable the  
way the truth has gone in these islands.  
When I came in 1922 there was 2,100 be- 
lievers. At the present time we have  
about 12,550. So you can see what God  
has done. Our colporteurs are hard at it  
all the time and our September report  
shows that we have a 170 regular men at  
work in the islands. We had about 140  
at the beginning of the year but as I  
have been tied up with other work the  
number has dropped down some. Our  
colporteurs are having many and varied  
experiences. The priests do their best to  
hinder the work but still our men keep on.  
The Lord blesses them with large sales  
and many souls. Our brethren in the  
churches are very active too. Just last  
Sabbath I visited a church that was built  
up as a result of home missionary work,  
and they had eight more ready for bap- 
tism. These people were prepared by one  
of the brethren in the church.  
We are building our first sanitarium  
here in the Philippines, and I have been  
working on that for quite a while. The  
brethren have asked me to raise $25,000.  
So far about $15,000 has come in. We  
are putting on another campaign this  
month, which we hope will bring on the  
other $10,000 that we need. The first  
building has been completed and has been  
in use since the first of May. The other  
building we hope will be finished about  
the middle of January.  
The Lord has blessed and a number of  
souls have been won to the truth. Dr.  
Hall has performed about 550 operations  
during this year and there has not  been  
one surgical death. We feel that God  
has blessed him abundantly. We are also  
putting on our first Harvest Ingathering  
campaign and it seems to be my lot to  
promote that. It is quite a big job, for all  
the workers and all the brethren have to  
be educated to do  this  kind of work. We  
are trying to raise $10,000 by this means  
for our hospital.  
Well, I have written quite a lengthy  
letter. If you read it all at once, you  
will not get any studying done; so per- 
haps I had better close. Mrs. Wiedemann  
joins me in sending best wishes to you.  
Greet Professor Stevens and Brother  
Meiklejohn and Miss Hiatt for me and all  
of the other students or brethren whom I   

may know there. If you happen to know  
the address of Barnhurst, also his first  
name or initials, let me know and I will  
drop him a line. Wishing you the Lord's  
blessings, I am,  
Sincerely Your brother,  
M. F.  WIEDEMAN.

Wiedeman, Field and home Missionary

fige good Oed  late •  
BY LEE THOMAS  
Oh, dear!  
Well, what is the matter nowt  
Oh, nothing; only we were just wish- 
ing some people would  be  calm and wait  
to see if there is good reason before going  
into hysterics over some imaginary calam-
ity.  
Here, for example, shortly after the  
money panic started, the story was cir- 
culated that the business manager had  
said there was only a quarter in the trea- 
sury, and the president had said if mat- 
ters got much worse we would be obliged  
to close the school. And we had to stand  
before five hundred people and seriously  
prxplain that we had said nothing of the  
hind, had never thought of such a thing,  
a+d that  the  businesz manager had jokin g - 
ly  told some one he had a quarter in the  
treasury, but did not say how much more.  
As a matter of fact the panic has incon- 
venienced us very little. Through it all  
our building operations have gone steadily  
forward, and are now nearly completed.  
And then some one saw an unusual  
light in the sky one evening, and in less  
than an hour the light had assumed the  
form of tongues of fire threatening to de- 
vour the sanitarium and the college, and a  
bevy of girls had left their studies to stare  
into one another's eyes and buzz into one  
another's ears until they could not study 
and did not want to go to bed, and just  
felt certain the fire bell would scare them  
in the night, etc. Next day the story was  
circulated that we had called a faculty  
meeting to pray about the impending dis- 
aster. And the whole story was moon- 
shine, except that some one did see a  
streak of light in the sky, thought little  
about it, mentioned it to some one else— 
and imagination did the rest.  
The latest is from a good, kind, loving,  
but over anxious mother, who heard there  
were some cases of diptheria at the col- 
lege, and because her son had not written  
for a few days was sure he had it. A  
telegram informed her that he did not;  
but she  said  it did not say he was not  
quarantined, and so she sent addressed  
and stamped envelopes to a trusty friend  
for daily bulletins as to his condition;  
whereas nothing at all was the matter.  
And so we leave off as we began by  
saying, Oh, dear! If people only would  
"pluck a few feathers from the wings of  
their imagination and insert them in the  
tail of their judgment," what a world of 
trouble they would save themselves and  
their friends.

Educational  Messenger  of December 13,  
1907, with the feeling that it might be of  
interest and profit to our  readers  in this  
modern age.  

whose torrents of  tears  and agonized  
wails are to be released at any moment.  
School days, school days! Those  are  
the days when the "Little Sis" reports the 
times when Brother is kept in after school  
for failure in a spelling test, or for re- 
sorting to "fistic persuasion" in the set-  
tlement of some misunderstanding. Many  
times a trip to the swimmin' hole would  
remain a deep, dark secret were it not  
for the faithful reports made to Mother  
by her darling.  
These days pass swiftly, as do high  
school or academy days, and Brother 
sees Sister receive a diploma. Then comes  
rushing over him, probably for the first  
time, the realization that his sister is no  
longer the little girl who some times left  
her dolls to play pirate, soldier, or circus  
with him. She has become, overnight, it  
seems, a young lady.  
In college the old responsibility ac- 
quired in his childhood is still borne by  
Brother. To be sure, it is more of a  
willing servitude, and the effects of bond- 
age are unnoticed, lightened as they are  
by the affection and admiration which he  
has for his sister.  	 Nevertheless, when  
he must reach deep into his pockets after  
a certain small sum of money he has been  
saving toward a new article of clothing,  
or, perhaps, an artist-course number, there  
Is no regret, but he  sees  again the little  
sister with her sunbonnet hanging down  
her back, the strings tied beneath her  
chin, as he forfeits some dainty morsel to 
check the flow of tears.  
All too soon college days are ended  
and Brother and Sister meet infrequently, 
at best. Yet, always in Brother's mem- 
ory lives the little sister who was his  
responsibility in childhood, and his task- 
mistress in manhood.

ASSISTANT SPEAKS  
About three hundred years ago the  
greatest idea of all ages took definite form.  
It was the idea of science and that nature  
is ruled by certain laws and can by years  
of study be partly understood. Galileo, one  
of the first to start a new age, dropped  
two balls of the same size but of different  
weight from the same height, and he found  
that Aristotle and all who believed with  
him for two thousand years were wrong.  
He took facts and organized them into re-
lationships. Thus science is the organiza- 
tion of facts into relationships. The re- 
lationships are tested with more facts and 
finally become laws.  
The putting together of individual facts  
into different patterns are ideas. By this  
means the scientist can create valuable  
Ideas.-   It is  	 ' '  flir  any new"'  
idea can  arise  from a single  fact.  Thus  
we conclude that all ideas are constructed  
from systematized knowledge, and that  
science is the source of the material of all  
valuable new ideas.  
Miss Alice Dennison, Carthage, Illinois,  
writes: "The day is cold and dark and  
dreary makes one wonder what you are 
doing in North hall. I love to get the  
CLOCK  TOWER,  but so many names are  
missing. By the time I get back, I fear  
the only thing I will know will be the  
old clock tower." Miss Dennison is teach- 
ing a country school and plans to return  
to Union some time.

Would you know the spirit of Union college, the spirit that in- 
spired its graduates and fired them with zeal for missionary activity  
and service in all parts of the world? Then do not miss the unique  
presentation of the history of Union college which will be given by  
the North hall girls on December 7 at eight o'clock.  
In the first scene, dressed in the fashions of the '90's, the quaint  
wives of the men who were prominent in deciding the location of  
Union college discuss the probability of the college being built on a  
three hundred acre tract of land near Lincoln.  
The second scene pictures the young women who have attended  
the first chapel service as they return to South hall to tell their pre- 
ceptress who has been unable to attend the excerise because of the  
illness of one of the girls.  
The third scene is the commencement of '96, the first class to  
graduate several girls.  
The fourth scene is a soliloquy given by the first missionary who  
has returned from the meeting in which the first golden cord was  
hung.  
In the fifth scene Mrs. Winifred Peebles-Rowell, who was head  
of the English department for many years, receives a letter which tells  
of the high points of Union's history. One of Union's graduates gives  
a list of all the class gifts in the sixth scene.  
In the seventh scene fifteen young women who have gone to for- 
-etgrs  landb It-Juin -and  -challenve. the aids  w ho are attenahlt-the college- 
today if they are willing to "take up the cross and bear it to the end."  
The college girls accept the challenge and "offer themselves for the  
finishing of the work." The scene ends with both missionaries and  
college girls singing "Blest Be The Tie That Binds."

Men's Furnishings—  
FIRST FLOOR  
The Stuff of Which  
Life is Made  
BY NAOMI  L. STRINGER  
"I don't have time." What a queer  
expression. Don't we each have exactly  
the same time? the whole twenty-four  
hours allotted to each day? Why is it  
that some can accomplish so much more 
than others? What is time anyway?  
Some have dared to say that there is  
no such thing as time. It is only that in-  
tangible something which is measured by  
constant change. We take something that 
changes regularly, such as the position of  
the earth as it moves around the sun, and 
measure time by that.  
If everything which happens within and  
without us were to happen one thousand  
times more slowly, there would be noth- 
ing within or without us by which to  
notice it. Now since we know that the  
movements of the earth are constant, so  
that time waits for no one, we are prim- 
arily interested in these things which we  
are able to control.  	 It becomes the  
problem of the individual to determine his  
own ratio to the fixed measure of time  
and to do his best to better it. This is  
what we call saving time.  
If we could only take each little bit of  
extra time and lay it up somewhere until  
we had segregated enough really to do  
something, we would be able to correct  
mistakes or at least think twice before we  
made them. But time lost is never found;  
so we must make the best possible use of  
each moment as it comes to us, for when  
it goes, it is gone forever. The first step  
in solving the problem of saving time is  
to analyze the present situation, then to  
rearrange our schedule so as to utilize  
every moment advantageously. If we  
have a specific time for every lesson or  
task, we will be able to do much better  
work. Habits will be formed in this  
routine, and it will be much easier to  
avoid interferences.  
One must be especially careful of his  
spare moments, for the use one makes of  

his spare time is the true index to his  
character. President Eliot of Harvard  
once said that if one read fifteen minutes  
each day he could be educated. Fifteen  
minutes each day for one year would total  
ninety-one hours. In forty years this  
would amount to 3,640 hours. A slow  
reader reads ten pages in fifteen minutes,  
thus he would be able to read 145,600  
pages in the forty years. Allowing four  
hundred pages to a book, he would have  
read 364 books.  
It seems to be at the root of human  
nature to want to put things off until to- 
morrow, but today is the tomorrow of  
yesterday and each new day will be filled  
with its own duties.  
Each duty must be well done the first  
time. It requires less time and effort to  
do things well the first time than to be  
continually turning back to finish ,some  
uncompleted task. One should not skip  
from one job to another. This shift and  
one's mind must be readjusted before  
steady application, whether it be the  
learning of a lesson or the making of a  
pie.  
One should not pause between jobs but  
begin at once on the next one, and con- 
centrate while working. To keep one's  
mind on the job and plan ahead is one of 
the characteristics of a real worker.

ing them a part of the foundation."

Who makes his way in life;  
It's the man who confesses his sin  
Who wins in the world's battle and strife.

ment. Do not have it crowded, or placed  
across corners.  
Don't have books piled around every- 
where, but place them in an orderly group  
on the study table.  
Don't put all of your toilet articles on  
the dresser. Two or three dainty pieces  
are enough.  
Don't have a large number of photo- 
graphs on display. However, as one's  
bedroom is rather informal, more photo- 
graphs would be permissible here than in  
a more formal room.  
Don't have the rugs placed cornerwise  
on the floor. They should follow the  
structural lines of the room. It is best to  
use square or rectangular rugs in a room  
of the same shape rather than round or  
oval ones.  
Don't have artifical flowers in vases  
placed here and there. A bouquet of  
bittersweet, perhaps, would add a cheer- 
ful touch to the room.  
Don't have too many cushions and pil- 
lows about. A few bright-colored, useful  
cushions add a great deal to a room, but  
fussy ones which can not be used are not  
needed.  
Have the room balanced. See that the  
heavier articles of furniture are not all on  
one side of the room, but have them so  
placed that one side balances the other.  
Another very important thing is the  
lamp shade. It should be of a soothing  
color. Green is said to be the best of all  
and red the most irritating. However, in  
choosing the lampshade, the other colors  
in the room must be taken into considera- 
tion.  
"Kind words do not cost much. They  
never blister the tongue or lips. We 
never heard of any mental trouble arising  
from this quarter. Though they do not  
cost much they accomplish much. They  
make other people good-natured. They  
also produce their own image on men's  
souls, and a beautiful image it is."

- church today isii6t - Tompuilary as if  
was in the time of our pilgrim fathers.  
There is no master, with a long rod, to  
keep the congregration awake. I go to  
church because I like to go, and I believe  
this should be the chief reason for all  
church-going.  

BY GLADYS ME.RKEL  
Church going is a part of education.  
No one's education is complete until re- 
verence for the house of God is mastered.  
The spiritual education is one part of the  
threefold education.  
The spiritual side of life should not be  
neglected, for by disuse any power be- 
comes weak. Lowell said, They must  
upward still and onward who would keep  
abreast of truth." Regular church attend- 
ance increases one's desire for spiritual  
things, and the spiritual man or woman  
wields a mighty power in the world for  
good.  
The youth of today will be the men  
and women of tomorrow who will leave  
this world either better or worse for their  
having lived in it. Sylvanus Stall has  
forcibly said, "The non-church going  
youth of this decade will be the Sabbath  
breakers and irreligious people of the 
next." I think church going should fill a  
part of every young person's life.  
A child's life portrays to a certain ex- 
tent the kind of adult he will become.  
Church attendance cannot help but leave  
its imprint on the plastic clay of early life.  
The child who has learned to look for the  
appearance of Sabbath and the church  
services causes the world no anxiety, for  
his life is being lead by the Pilot of Gal- 
ilee.  
Christ set the example for his followers.  
The Bible states.  - And He came to Naz- 
areth, where he had been brought up; and,  
as His custom was, He went into the syn- 
agogue on the Sabbath day." Since He  
who lived a sinless life made church go- 
ing a practice, church going is a good  
practice for the people of today.  
In church one has brought before him  
the high ideal toward which he should  
strive. Every sermon is based upon some  
principle given by no human mind. These  
sermons draw one into closer fellowship  
with the Infinite, and such fellowship is  
an assurance of spiritual growth.  
Attendance at church services, in the  
right frame of mind, endows one with the  
spirit of humility. In church one's thoughts  
are raised to a higher level than his own.  
Mrs. White wrote, "He who looks higher  
than himself will be humble." God left  
record in His Word that we should not  
forsake the assembling of ourselves to- 
gether, for he knew that by looking to him  
humility would be developed. God re- 
cognizes humility as one of t ie most  
beautiful traits of charnr_ter.  
- 1<k i iirrix-- errui -a -16u01"good  -pra  
for it prepares one for the life to come as  
well as for better service here. He who  
cannot enjoy the company of God's peo- 
ple on earth could not enjoy the company  
of angels in heaven. This life is simply  
an elimination time.  

Why I Think Church Going is  
Good Pratice  

Church going is a good practice, for  
every person is some one else's ideal.  
The life one lives is the strongest or weak- 
est part of him, and, since folks read the  
lives of those about them, I think church  
going is one of the most important things  
of life.  
BY MARY HANNAH THOMPSON  
- I  was glad when they said unto me,  
'Let us go into the house of the Lord.'  
was the expression of David's heart. He  
admonishes us to "Enter into His gates  
with thanksgiving and into His courts 
with praise. Be thankful unto Him and  
bless His name." It is with this spirit  
that we should enter God's house.  
I go to church to worship with God's  
people. The atmosphere of praise and  
thankfulness helps all who attend. We  
can worship God in song, in prayer, and  
by our offerings. The fellowship with  
His people inspires us to press onward in  
the conflict. During the week we become  
discouraged, but seeing that others are  
overcoming trials and temptations we take  
heart again.  
I go to church to study God's word.  
He inspires the ministers to give us the  
message that we need each week. We  
cannot understand some parts of the Scrip-  
ture; so it must be explained to us. God  
has ordained His ministers as shepherds  
to guide His flocks. How can we follow  
our Shepherd if we do not hear His voice?  
I go to church because I believe God  
comes close to His people, with greater  
power and blessing there. Although He  
meets each individual in prayer, one  
comes to know Him better by His spirit  
manifested on the holy Sabbath day. The  
church-going habit is one of the best  
habits to form. When it is once formed  
it is not easily broken. Many times a  
person lives in a community where there  
are no people of like faith. If he is in  
Cie habit of going to church he will have  
the desire to attend another church, and  
will gain a benefit by attending. By going  
to church now we are preparing ourselves  
foi the church in the earth made new, for  
Goc. has said that all shall worship with  
Him together on His Sabbath day.  
I go to church because Jesus went to  
church. It was His custom to go into the  
synagogue on the Sabbath. Some one  
might be following me or doing as I do.  
If I were able and did not go to church, 
I should be setting a wrong example and  
might lead some soul astray.  

Why I Think Church Going is  
Good Pratice  

On With  'the  Work'  
BY JAMES GAITENS  
In addition to the 141 languages in  
which our publications are issued, the  
work is now conducted orally by denomi- 
national representatives in 206 other lan  
guages, making a total of 347 languages  
in which this work is now being carried  
forward. 	 his is an increase of 68 lan-  
guages during 1928, or one new language  
added every 5.38 days. At the close of  
1914, this work was conducted in 224  
languages, so that there has been an in- 
crease of 124 languages during the past  
tour years, or a new language added  
practically every twelve days during the 
past four years.—(Central Union  Out- 
took,  Nov. 12, 1929.)  
It will be interesting to know that to  
date none of our outschools in Peru have  
been closed by the government. The de- 
gree that apparently made it look as  
though it would be necessary to close our  
schools has not as yet been enforced.  
After the decree was made two months of  
grace were given before putting it into  
effect. These two months have passed,  
and no unfavorable proceedings have  
been taken as yet. We believe this to be  
the result of the many prayers that have  
ascended for our work in Peru from the  
different parts of the world.—(South  
American  Bulletin,  Nov. 1229.)  
August 30 to September 1 were import- 
ant days for the Missionary Volunteers of  
the Sao Paulo conference in particular  
and in general for all Brazil for the first  
Missionary Volunteer congress ever held  
in Brazil was held at the Brazil Training  
school at Santo Amaro, beginning Friday  
evening, August 30, and ending Sunday  
night, September 1. The entire congress  
was of a strong spiritual tone and it is  
believed that this meeting will mean much  
to the work in behalf of the young peo- 
ple, having given them a greater vision  
of God's call to them and also stirring up 
our lay members and workers who at- 
tended to feel anew the importance of the  
Missionary Volunteer movement and our  
responsibility toward our young people  
and children.—(South American  Bulletin,  
Nov. 1929.)  
"A tropical hurricane is not a pleasant  
thing to experience," so the word comes  
to us from the Bahama Islands. "After  
the intruments had registered a wind velo- 
city of nearly 130 miles an hour, they  
were blown down, so that we do not  
know the exact velocity in this storm;  
but it was much more servere than the  
1928 storm, which reached a velocity of  
150 miles. For duration this storm was  
unprecendented. It lasted for more than  
seventy-two hours. We were unable to  
leave the house from noon Wednesday  

Charlie Davis came to Union with a  
will to make good. He had faithfully  
assisted with the work on the old farm— 
followed the plow, and pitched hay till  
his muscles ached. But ever and upper- 
most in his mind had been a vision of  
himself carrying the banner of the Man  
from Galilee to some distant province.  
There was a great fascination in visualiz- 
ing himself taking the ocean voyage and  
living under a foreign flag.  
This was the thinking that brought him  
to Union college. So squared with de-
termination he began to work for this  
realization. it would be only a few years  
and then—  
But it wasn't long until he discovered  
that the Spirit of Union was revolutioniz  
ing, compared to his cherished philoso- 
phy. To serve without applause and not  
be served, go and give to any station  
your abilities and that not for worldly  
gain was the doctrine preached. To him  
these doctrines became more paradoxical  
with each passing day. Why should he  
not at least be given the comforts of life  
if he gave himself? If to live was to  
walk the narrow, stony trail of selfdenial,  
then he had all these years been on a  
detour.  
The climax came one "lab" night. The  
difficult experiment opened wide the flood  
gates of emotion. When he reached his  
room he flung the "lab" manual and note- 
book on his study table and threw him- 
self on his bed. What was the use of it  
all if in the end it didn't assure one that  
for which everybody was seeking? With  
such a twisted philosophy how could any- 
body appreciate life? But the Spirit of  
Union—there must be something to it or  
how could a man really give himself and 
be as truly happy as actual examples he  
saw around him. If this Spirit was  
Divine, then He alone could give him the 
full understanding of it. "Teach me to  
understand Thy Spirit of Love," was the  
humble request of his soul, as sleep  
claimed him.  
A soft light seemed to flood the room.  
A person clothed in radiant light stood  
before him as he turned to find its source.  
"I am the Spirit of the Second Mile,"  
were the melodious words by which he  
was greeted. "I am come to give you  
understanding of the Spirit of Union.  
which is my spirit. I am the foreman of  
the Master's servants. It is I who send  
the missionaries over seas and make them  
cheerfully endure privations. And you  
ask that you might have understanding?  
Listen while I tell you."  
Second Mile Spirit drew closer and  
until i-riday morning. After it had abated .   biganTO  	 convincing earnest-  
somewhat it was found that the church ness. "In all life there is a certain dis- 
tance you must go. In every activity  
man must reach a certain limit to live.  
But liberty and joy and real life  begin  
when you go beyond that 'Whosoever  
shall compel thee to go a mile, go with  
him twain.' Life in any activity compels  
you to go the first mile. No 'man can  
squirm out of it. They have no choice.  
But instead of the one mile, go two. The 
first mile is duty; the second, love—duty  
glorified. Love is the secret of the second  
mile. It is love that kindles your affec-
tions and warms your cold will power  

and school were demolished."—(Review  
and Herald,  Nov. 28, 1929.)  
"Love is the greatest thing God gave us,  
and the greatest thing we can give God."  
"There are two elements that go to the  
composition of frienship. One is truth,  
and the other is tenderness."  

into a flame of desire, and It is that that  
carries men beyond what is compelled,  
into the liberty wherewith my Master has  
made him free. Are you still asking,  
'How little can I do?' That is not life,  
nor love, nor my Master. I give, go to  
the uttermost, and forget the milestones.  
This Is the Spirit of my Master and I am  
His servant. This is the Spirit of Union  
College. I leave it now, in a special  
sense, with you; and remember, unless  
you go with others and even with your- 
self the second mile you will never realize  
the real joy of life, regardless of station.  
In after years, men saw Charlie Davis  
walk with strangers the second mile, for  
he, too, had seen the Second Mile Spirit.  
The Etiquette of  
Room Furnishing  
BY  GLORA BRUCE  
First of all, a room should be cozy  
comfortable, and homelike. In order to  
be beautiful, a thing must be useful; so  
each article placed in the room must have  
a use.  
Have the colors in the room in har- 
mony. Do not have curtains of one color,  
spread of another, and table coverings of  
another, but see that the colors stand as 
a connected unit.  
Don't have too  many pictures. Have  
a few good ones hung on a level with  
the eye. The picture should not be con- 
spicious. It should not hang from the  
molding in the shape of a triangle, but  
rather, in a square.  
Don't have the curtains looped back  
until their shape is distorted. This spoils  
the lines of the window. But on the other  
hand, do not have the curtains completely  
covering the window, for its purpose is to  
admit light.  
Have the furniture in orderly arrange-

Mystery of  
the Vanished Run  
"Remember those v-e-r-r-y expensive silk stockings  
Paula brought back from Paris.  I know she had only  one pair of them and she considered them perfectly  
priceless. Well, Paula's heart was broken when she  
caught the stockings on one of those rickety night  
club chairs. That's the end of them, thought  I. But  here's the mystery! Today I saw Paula on the Ave- 
nue, and she had on those very same stockings, and  
there wasn't a sign of a run.  They were flawless.  Let us  explain. Paula brought the stockings to our

-  
The simple story of an ordinary life  
with its quiet happinesses and little griefs  
is after all the greatest of  dramas  for  
each of us. The Young Women's club  
of North ball presented this drama in the  
worship room at their regular meeting on  
Wednesday evening, showing a girl's life  
from childhood to old age in a series of  
little scenes in pantomime accompanied by  
readings or music. The South hall men  
were invited, and other guests were also  
present  
The curtains opened for the first scene  
to show a little baby in its cradle while  
the sweet strains of a lullaby softly sung  
by Emma Lou Davis were heard in the  
distance. Childhood was portrayed in the  
next scene by a little boy and girl of  
about five years of age while Lavona  
Gordon gave a reading "Remember? So  
Do I." Lucille Howe then represented a  
peppy little school girl, eating apples,  
working problems, and writing of her love  
for "Joe" on her slate, as Clara Culver  
sang "School Days." The next mile- 
post in the life of a typical girl is the age  
of "sweet sixteen." This was imperson- 
ated by Clara Montgomery while Maudie  
Maxwell read a selection.  
The next three scenes showed three  
professions which a girl might enter to  
make her life useful to humanity. Verd  
Nell Rice read for this scene. The girl  
might have been a school teacher. This  
profession was dramatized by Katherine  
Lutz. She might have entered the business  
world, as shown by Norma Hilde in the  
role of stenographer. She also might  
have been a nurse, whose work was de- 
picted by Bonnie Velhagen with Leola  
Castle as her patient.  
She might have been a nurse, a teach- 
er, or a stenographer, but we knew she  
wasn't, for soon we hear the strains of the  
wedding march from  Lohcrigrin,  and knew  
that she was a bride. The bridal scene  
was a beautiful one. Marion Christmann 
was the bride, attended by her brides- 
maids, Donna Nelson and Wilma Leslie,  
a little flower girl, and two tiny boys to  
carry her train.  
The next great epoch in the girl's life  
was motherhood. Ella Johnson represented  
the young mother, and rocked a little  
baby as Velvah Smouse sang a lullaby.  
Old age must inevitably come to every  
woman; so, as Ola Powell sang "Silver  
Threads Among the Gold," the old  
grandmother tottered to her chair on  
the stage, and began her knitting. Few  
people of the audience recognized Abbie  
Dunn in the role of the old lady, so well  
did she fill her part. She opened her  
album, and as she looked at the pictures:  
memories of the past returned. and'  
crowded about her. All these memories  
were in visible form to the audience, as  
each of the players reappeared on the  
stage and took their places around her.  
With this impressive scene the little  
drama closed.  
Leon Baker expressed a few words of  
appreciation in behalf of the boys. The  
sergeant-at-arms, Maude Reid, gave her  
report, and the meeting was adjourned.

STUDENTS SACRIFICE WEEK  
BY WENDELL WOLFE  
Of the $150,000 goal set by the autumn  
council to be raised during Sacrifice Week  
our educational department is responsible  
for twenty-four thousand. Teachers and  
workers throughout the denomination are  
uniting their full week's salaries into this  
fund, and college students are asked to  
give one dollar each, academic students  
fifty cents each, and church-school child- 
ren twenty-five cents each. This will mean  
that from the students of Union College  
and the academy there will be raised  
$320.00.  
The early pioneers gave their all for  
this cause, and those who are in the mis- 
sion fields today know that it means to 
sacrifice to the limit for the spread of the  
gospel, but do we dream of what we  
might do were we to receive the burden of  
the work. From the pen of inspiration  
we read, "Christ is our example. For  
our sakes He became poor, that we  
through His poverty might be made rich.  
He taught that all should come together  
in love and unity to work as He worked,  
and to sacrifice as He sacrificed, to love 
as the children of God.  
"My brethern and sisters, you must  be  
willing to be converted yourselves in or- 
der to practice the self-denial of Christ.  
Dress plainly, but neatly. Spend as little  
as possible upon yourselves. Keep in  
your homes a self-denial box into which 
you can put the money saved by little  
acts of self-denial. Day by day gain a  
clearer understanding of the word of God,  
and improve every opportunity to impart  
the knowledge you have gained.  	 Do  
not become weary in well-doing, for God  
is constantly imparting to you the great  
blessing of His Gift to the world. Co- 
operate with the Lord Jesus, and He will  
teach you the priceless lessons of His love.  
Time is short; in due season, when time  
shall be no longer, you will receive your  
reward."—Vol. IX,  P  130  
The young women of North hall have  
already begun their campaign, and with  
them the boys are going to join heartily,  
for could we as true Seventh-day Advent- 
ists and Union boosters stand by and see  
our sister institutions work alone for the  
goal and the consequent blessing. Never!  
In our other colleges this week is a week  
of history, a week of triumph. It will be  
so to us when we have put into it our  
best.  

THE PLACE OF PRAYER  
The place of prayer is a humble place,  
And ere we enter there  
We must leave outside our garb of pride  
And our load of worldly care.  
The place of prayer is a quiet place,  
And at the outer gate  
The voice of our will we must firmly still,  
And bid our wishes wait.  
The place of prayer is a holy place,  
And ere we step therein  
With unshod  feet  our God to meet  
We must put away our sin.  
But the place of prayer is high enough  
To bring heaven's glory nigh,  
And our need speaks clear to our Father's  
ear,  
And is open to His eye.  
And the place of prayer is wide enough  
For Christ to enter there;  
And the humble heart need not depart  
Without that vision fair.  
And the place of prayer is large enough  
For Christ to enter there;  
And the humble heart need not depart  
Without that vision fair.  
And the place of prayer is large enough  
To hold God's riches stored,  
And faith is the key of the treasury  
That opens the secret hoard.

One singing group at E. M. C. received  
$35.00 on one trip toward their $3,000  
goal for Harvest Ingathering. Thus we  
see it can be done. Let's keep at it old  
Union. This is the first year this method  
has ever been used here, but great success  
has been had with it in other places. The  
Southern Junior college raises nearly half  
their goals this way. Though it may 
mean sacrifice of time, it will mean a  
blessing upon us and honor upon our old  
Union college.  
MARCHING IN DINING ROOM  
Thursday evening the Thanksgiving  
survivors of North and South halls met

READ THE BIBLE  
"The Bible contains the mind of God,  
the state of man, the way of salvation,  
the doom of sinners, and the happiness of  
believers. Its doctrines are holy, its pre- 
cepts are binding, its histories are true,  
and its decisions are immutable.  
Read the Bible to be wise, believe it to  
be safe, and practice it to be holy. It  
contains light to direct you, food to sup- 
port you, and comfort to cheer you.  
The Bible is the traveler's map, the  
pilgrim's staff, the pilot's compass, the  
soldier's sword, and the Christian's  
chart. Here heaven is opened, and the  
gates of hell disclosed.  
Christ is the grand subject of the Bible,  
our good its design, and the glory of God  
its end. It should fill the memory, rule the  
heart, and guide the feet."  
- Living each day at our best, simply,  
sincerely, sweetly, is the surest way to  
win happiness, and to hold it."  
"I am ready to go anywhere, provided  
it is forward."
