Today is the Day of Opportunity For Junior Class By LOWELL W. WELCH It is not perhaps the usual thing for one other than a senior to recount the past in his philosophizing any more than it is usual for a young man to say, "When I was young—.'' But that is, of course, as it should be; for there must be those who look to the future, those who look on the present to do things now, and those who say, "See what has been done!" In school life, today is the day of Jun- iors. Today Juniors feel real responsibil- ity, and know that this is their day. The beautiful, mystical pictures of the future have ripened into a land of real oppor- tunity. There is no great past to try to live up to; there is no mystical future to dream about. But there is a romantic pres- ent—the time to do things and the time to do real things, to show the kind of metal one is made of and to temper that metal to stand the blows one will meet. In the year to come there will be the ex- ertion of finishing a course, of checking up and reckoning for the past. But today, for the Juniors, is the great day of op- portunity. That is all true of school life—of the life of Juniors now. But there will come in the lives of these same Juniors a time in the future which is not altogether comparable to this time now at hand. The Juniors do not as a class represent those students who go to school now and hope to meet life when school days are gone; neither do they represent those student who are held down by circumstance to only half accomplishment in life. But they do represent largely that class of students who have had their difficulties and who have reached the place they hold becaus- they have met their obstacles and over- come them. Perhaps they have found i' necessary to spend one more year in at- taining their objective. Perhaps they have had to hold the nose hard to the grind- stone through hot summers—what of it? Life is like that! Today, they know. is for Juniors the great day of opportunity, and they are determined to make the best of it. Bess Gearhart Morrison, One of the Best Known Readers in America, is Here PRESENTS 'THE FOOL' Vividly Portrays the Characters and Personalities in Story Showing Spirit of Service By MARIE OLSON The last number of the Union college lyceum course, a reading of Pollack's The Fool by Bess Gearhart Morrison, was given in the chapel Saturday eve- ning. Mrs. Morrison, who is a native of this state, is one of the best known read- ers in the United States. Both those who had heard her before and those who came to hear her for the first time were much impressed by her recreation of Channing Pollack's production. In her introduction Mrs. Morrison gave some interesting facts about the author, who is also a native of Nebraska, and who, because he has earned thousands of dollars on his production, has proved that America responds to what is good and clean. Mrs. Morrison, in her reading, made everyone really see the characters and their different personalities. In the first scene, the audience was made to see the interior of a church where three society women were busy with Christmas decora- tions. The selfish, un-Christian viewpoint of these women is brought out as they discuss the faults of the assistant rector, Daniel Gilchrist. Jerry Goodkind, a rich young man of the type that always prides himself on being nothing more than a "kidder" and whose life reflects his phil- osophy, joins in the denunciation of the young rector, whom they call "the fool" because he has been giving away much money to help the poor, and who has been preaching too much truth in his ser- mons. Finally, Clare Jewett, who is en- gaged to Gilchrist, comes in, and the gossiping ceases. As the reading pro- gresses, it tells of Clare's decision to break with the young philanthropist in favor of the careless but more wealthy Jerry Goodkind. Gilchrist, though dis- (Continued on page four) VOL. V STUDENTS HEAR FAMED READER CALENDAR OF EVENTS Friday, May 15 Sunset 7:38 p. in. Church Choir Rehearsal - 6:45 p. m.

EX U COLLEGE LIBRARY The Junior Class Sponsored This Issue of the Clock Tower ER Program by the Music Department Sat. Nit, - ! PROGRAM BY JUNIORS Sabbath School Program Emphasizes Need of Missionary Spirit The college Junior class had charge of Sabbath school May 9. David Eickhoff acted as superintendent of the school in the absence of Lowell Welch. class presi- dent, who could not be present. The need of the missionary spirit was emphasized throughout the program presented. Silent prayer followed the organ pre- lude played by Martha Hassenpflug. Henry Preston read several missionary beatitudes for his Scripture reading. Mem- bers of the Junior class responded with corresponding texts of Scripture. A mis- sionary prayer was then offered. Lennie Gepford, Hazel Brebner, and Elinore Hahn sang - There's a Wideness in God's Mercy." Bessie McCumsey read the report of the Sabbath school held the previous week. Opal Andrews in her talk told why one should study missions, give to mis- sions, pray for missions, and go as a missionary, emphasizing the thought that God has called all to work for others. Elinore Hahn gave a, word picture of India, showing how the people are steeped in superstitious religious beliefs and yet often sincere in their worship. Cads Lauda sang "Jesus Remembers When the World Forgets. - SABBATH SERVICES IN HONOR OF MOTHERS Program Consists of Address by Dr. Aitken, Readings, and Musical Numbers A special Mother's Day program was held in the church Sabbath morning in- cluding appropriate musical numbers and readings. Dr. Aitken, pastor of the St. Paul Methodist church, of Lincoln, for eleven years, was a guest at the service and de- livered a tribute - to mothers. Dr. Aitken clisruR.e,pd Christ's love for His mother, even while He suffered upon the cross. "The time when Christ was on the cross, - declared the speaker, "marked the fulfillment of Simeon's prophecy that a sword should pierce her own soul. Jesus, though the Son of a King in the spiritual relationship with His Father, sought to discharge the duties of human relation- ship. On the cross the earthly merged into the heavenly, the Son became a Saviour. John, the beloved disciple, and the three women who stood by the cross stood there at the cost of receiving the jeers and taunts of the mob. It had been easy to stand by Christ in His power as a worker of miracles, a popular teacher, and when He was acclaimed to be the Mes- siah; but was another thing to stand by Him in this scornful crowd. "All distinguished men, with few ex- ceptions, have had great mothers. Moses, the channel of a divine providence to ac- complish the Lord's work in the world, was faithful because of an earnest, God- fearing mother. Paul found his successor in Timothy, a young man who had re- ceived Christian training from his mother and grandmother. "Express to your mother your apprecia- tion of the sacrifices which she has made for you and tell her of your love," urged Dr. Aitken. "It is the most natural thing for a human heart to want to be loved. Your mother cares for you from the be- ginning to the end. She has never known a day or a night in which she would not have been willing to sacrifice her life for (Continued on page four) Children at Orphanage Enjoy Stories and Songs Sabbath afternoon Mr. Charles Wil- liams took Miss Carter's group of the Sunshine band to the State orphanage. Although it was raining, the children were enthusiastically waiting for the "entertain- ment" as they called it. A short song service was used to begin the program, in which the children's favorite was sung, "Smile and Be Cheery." Velma Gibson told a nature story to the children, fol- lowed by a group of songs which Harry Winters played on his accordian. Robert Whitsett told the concluding story, one which the boys especially enjoyed. The small memory verse cards which have been handed out by the band have been saved and the children are making them into booklets this week. At the county farm the Sunshine band service opened with "There's Not a Friend Like the Lowly Jesus. - James Gaitens gave a short sermon on why "it pays to serve Jesus" after that beauti- ful hymn had been sung as a duet by Frank Baer and Esther House with Eve- lyn Baer at the organ. What did you say the name was? Oh, the Student Body of Union college. The Juniors are charmed to meet you. We've heard a great deal about the Student Body but we don't believe we've ever met you before. You don't mind if we talk about ourselves, do you? You see, that's all we know anything about. Really, we're extraordinary people. You see when we were freshmen—well, you know freshmen. And then when we were sopho- mores, it was worse than ever. We were not as world-famous as the freshmen and we couldn't be organized as the Juniors were. But now since we are Juniors—well, we've really almost come into our own. You see, we realize we need the experi- ence of being Juniors before we can be- come the most noteworthy class of seni- ors Union ever had. Now, don't get the idea that we are conceited. We're not. We're just good and we admit it. It's really hard work being a Junior; every one expects so much of us. The faculty wonders if we will ever know enough to be seniors (.of course there is no question in our minds). The seniors wonder if we are worthy of following them. (Imagine it!) The sophomores think they would make better Juniors than we are. (Just like a sophomore!) But the freshmen—well, we really feel sorry f them. You see we were freshmen once; and somehow we haven't the heart to razz them. Italy will issue an international loan of four billion lire (about $210,000,000). Evidently Italy is showing her money bags. Princess Ilena, daughter of Queen Mother Marie of Rumania, is betrothed to Archduke Anton, nephew of the late Em- peror Charles of Austria-Hungary. He is an aviator of note. There are nearly 125,000,000 people living in the United States at this time. In 1880 the number was a little over 50,000,000. In the past half century the population has increased nearly 150 per cent, or at the average rate of 30 per cent in each decade. Secretary of State Stimson assured the American public May 9 that the Hoover administration will protect United States citizens abroad and give them counsel and assistance in "safeguarding their property," but the army and navy, he warned, will not be used to collect debts. History was in the making at Atlantic City last week when many distinguished business and industrial leaders in America attended the annual sessions of the na- tional Chamber of Commerce. They passed a resolution favoring a reduction of duties provided by the Smoot-Hawley tariff law. The department of commerce and aeronautics has ordered the discontinuance in passenger service of all Fokker F-10- AF 1 airplanes in use by four air lines. The order grew out of the investigation of the accident in which Knute Rockne, football coach, and seven other persons were killed when a wing came off a plane. The seven great sugar exporting coun- tries of the world signed the Chadbourne international sugar contract, which they hope will assure producers fair profits and at the same time guard the consumer against unduly high prices. Germany, Po- land, Czechoslovakia, Belgium, Hungary, Java, and Cuba signed the agreement. It is an effort to save the world sugar in- dustry from the evils of overproduction by restricting exportation. Another reason it's hard work is tha we take ourselves so seriously. We're so glad we have another year in which to redeem ourselves for the foolish things we did before our credit hours were checked. We've all made resolutions since then. We're going to be better representa- tives of Union next year. We're going to be truer, finer students. We're going to study harder. Once more we're going to win a campaign, though we are afraid the effects might be fatal to some people if we did. We're going to do this and that next year, and convince you that we are really capable people. We admit that we are glad that school is almost out, but we certainly are at least glad we aren't seniors. Who isn't? Even some of the seniors themselves don't seem to be glad they are seniors. we were seniors this year we couldn't re- deem ourselves, we couldn't win a cam- paign, and we couldn't keep the school going (really you can't imagine what would happen to this school if we were seniors and there were no Juniors). We wouldn't have the pleasure of getting up at six for worship for another year if we were seniors. We wouldn't be able to en- tertain the seniors either if we were sen- iors this year. Oh, we are really quite satisfied with our lot. Maybe that's the reason some people contrive to be Juniors for more than one year. And the biggest reason why we are glad we are juniors is that we can look forward to another year at Union. From $200,000,000 to $600,000,000 in tribute from "every business in our cities" is exacted yearly by racketeers in the United States. The New York Federal Reserve bank on May 7 reduced its discount rate from 2 to per cent. This is the lowest in the history of the reserve, and lower than any rate now in effect in any central bank in the world. More than three hundred members of the Kentucky national guard, armed wit1 rifles and machine guns and accompanied by a tank, May 7, marched on the coal fields near Evarts, Harlan county, where labor disorders have cost five lives and much destruction of property. The extra-territorial privileges of for- eigners in China, provided in treaties with the great powers, have been changed. Citizens of other countries are to be sub- ject to the jurisdiction of Chinese courts instead of consular courts as formerly. Special courts will be established. Dr. Albert H. Michelson, 79, dean of American physicists, died at Pasadena, California, May 9. Dr. Michelson had worked to perfect his greatest achieve- ment—the exact measurement of the speed of light. He died happy in the thought that his last and greatest task had been completed. He is the first American scient- ist who has ever won the Nobel prize. A complete program for the national committee of farm organizations has been formed by dissenting delegates to the sixth annual convention of the Corn Belt federation. The newly-formed body, corn: posed of thirty middle western farm lead- ers, claimed to represent three-fourths in actual numerical strength of the original organization, and stands for the federal farm marketing act and the federal farm board. The split in federal ranks came when a group opposed the workings of the agricultural marketing act. The new organization has adopted resolutions con- demning the federal farm board, the Haw- ley-Smoot tariff, the present monetary standards, and the Hoover administration in general. GROUP GIVE CONCERT The Ensemble Chooses Sacred Numbers To Present in Lincoln The Union college vocal ensemble, un- der the direction of Professor Stanley Ledington and assisted by Mrs. Led- ington, gave a sacred program at the Seventh-day Adventist church in Lincoln Sunday evening. "The Heavens Proclaim" (Beethoven) opened the concert, and then followed a group of three songs, "Come, Holy Ghost" (Palestrina), "Lo! What a Branch of Beauty" (Preatorius), and "Evening Song" (Arcadelt). Mrs. Ledington sang "My Redeemer and My Lord" (Dudley Buck). "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," was sung by the class, and the men's quartet sang - 0 Mary, Don't You Weep" (negro spiritual arranged by S. Ledington). The remainder of the program con- sisted of a violin solo, "Londonderry Air" (arranged by F. Kreisler), played by Hazel Kipp; "Jesus, Meek and Lowly," (Edward Elgar), "At Evening Bring Me Home," (Stanley Ledington), "God So Loved the World," (Stainer), "When I See My Saviour," (gospel song), by the ensemble; "Love Divine, All Love Ex- celling, (John Stainer), duet by Lilah and Frank Baer; "Lead Kindly Light," (Continued on page three) PLAN CELEBRATION FOR ANNIVERSARY Program Will Include the Entire History of Union Presented In- Pageant Form One of the outstanding features of commencement week will be Union's forti- eth anniversary celebration which will take place Friday, May 29, an event which it is expected will be witnessed by many former Unionites, both teachers and students, who are within distances mak- ing this possible. A complete history of Union college, from its very beginning up to the present time, will be presented in pageant form on the campus. This pageant will include all the outstanding events in the history of the school, and will be presented by the faculty, the stu- dents, various persons who have previ- ously contributed to the development of the school, and certain returned mis- sionaries who will be here at that time. The first scene will portray the meet- ing of the trustees at the time when it was first decided to accept the offer made and erect the buildings of Union college where they now stand. In the second scene will be shown the builders as they began to construct the buildings there- after to be known as Union college. The arrival of the original seventy-three stu- dents will be represented in the third scene. Then will follow the dedication of the school and the other important events leading up to the work being done now. At the close of the above program, lunch will be served on the campus, after which the guests will have the privilege of seeing Union college at work. Guides, who are intimately acquainted with the different departments and places of interest, will be provided to escort the people throughout the classrooms, the school homes, and the industrial depart- ments. This opportunity is taken by Union col- lege to extend to all her old students and friends a very cordial invitation to be present not only at this fortieth anni- versary celebration, but at all of the events of the commencement week. 0 La Merne Walker to Give Public Violin Recital La Merne Walker, violin student of Gwendolen Lampshire Hayden, is to ap- pear in a studio recital Sunday, May 17, at three o'clock, in room 201. Miss Walker will be assisted by Miss Mary Mason, reader; and Ada Townsend will be the accompanist. The first group will be composed of "Mazurka," by Mylmaiski, and "Adora- tion," by Borowski. The second group will be composed entirely of modern coin- positions: - Frasquita," ' by Lehar-Kreis- ler; "Chant Negre, - by A. Walter Kram- er; and "Spray," by Cecil Burleigh. The next offering will be "The Soul of the Violin," a reading by Miss Mason. To conclude the program Miss Walker will play "Romance," by Svendsen; "Thais," by Massenet; and "Hejre Kati," by Hubay. The public is invited to this afternoon of music. It is the only one of its kind to be presented this year. - Fie on possession, but if a man be virtuous withal.”—Chaucer. COLLEGE VIEW, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, MAY 14, 1931 By Way of Introduction By Elinore Hahn Weekly Review of World Affairs BY HAROLD LINCOLN No. 31 CLASS PRESENTS UNIQUE PROGRAM Class Under Mrs. Hilts Studying Biblical Literature Gives Evening Program JOB A GREAT DRAMA Study Bible as Literary Masterpiece; Present Five Divisions of the Song of Deborah The Biblical literature class under the direction of their instructor, I'vamae Small Hilts, presented what is declared by many to be one of the most inspirational Mis- sionary Volunteer programs of the year last Friday evening. The feature of the program which attracted the most atten- tion was the antiphonal rendering of sev- eral selections by the entire class. Sev- eral of the class also discussed certain types of literature found in the Bible. Following the antiphony found in Psalms 30 and the prayer by Everette Miracle, Esther Johnson spoke on the Bible as a literary masterpiece, showing in a most comprehensive way that it contains all the forms of literature from the short story and oration to the epic forms. Miss Johnson's talk was followed by a reading by Ferryl Garvin on Job's wife. Miss Garvin read her own compo- sition, which portrayed in a more sym- pathetic light than it is usually presented, the reaction of Job's wife to the situa- tion. The reading was followed by a pa- per read by Dorothy Foreman on the dramatic qualities of the book of Job, describing the epic scenery, epic charac- ter, and epic action found in the great Biblical drama. Robert Lynn's discussion of the ora- tions of Moses was followed by the an- tiphony of Deborah's song. Dorothy Vo- gel made a few introductory remarks so that the audience could picture the situa- tion under which the antiphony was giv- en. She took the part of Deborah, and Everette Miracle took the part of Barak. The entire class took part in the five di- visions: the "Prelude," the "Muster," the "Battle and Rout," the "Retribution," and the final apostrophe. Lowell Welch showed the practibility of the book of Proverbs in modern life, (Continued on page four) Vice-President Prophesies Future For the Juniors By OPAL ANDREWS Yes, they're a real class, the Juniors areL And have you heard of all the things they have been doing in the three years they've been here? But there's something else I want to ask you. Do you know what they're going to do in the future? You know they have only one more year at "dear old Union" and then—wait! I see something. Yes, there is the old world turning slowly on its axis and there are bright spots illuminating its dark surface. Now, it is coming closer and I can see people moving hither and yon. Europe is the continent I am looking at now. There is a bright spot in Switzer- land, and yes, there is Mae Mathews acting as superintendent of the Berne Sabbath school. Why, she was assistant superintendent of the Union college Sab- bath school during her Junior year. And now that I see her I remember that there were six of the Junior class who had held offices in the Sabbath school during their three years there. What is that I see? A light in Paris. Esther Sonnenberg is teaching in France. That's right, she was taking her major in languages, along with three other Juniors. In China I can see a woman in white going up and down the narrow streets, stopping in the huts here and there, min- istering to the needs of the sick. I recog- nize Melda Ragsdale as the woman. She was the only graduate nurse in the junior class and she also taught the girls' gym- nasium classes. Now the globe has turned so I can see India, and in Lucknow there is another light. Yes, Eunice Mantz is in charge of the girls' training school in India. Eunice took a pre-medic course and planned to be either a doctor or a nurse. And now I see the homeland. In Spo- kane, Washington, I can see Caris Lauda. He always was a musician and now he is a singing evangelist in Washington. Before I go on I must tell you of the light I see burning at the Pacific Press. Harold Lincoln has just taken over the position as an editor of the Signs of the Times. Harold was a special writer for the CLOCK TOWER, and there were five (Continued on page three) Money cannot buy happiness, but no one can deny it is a wonderfully con- venient adjunct to happiness. POETS' CORNER By HAROLD LINCOLN If you get a little knock, And it hits you like a rock, You just get right up again, Why, don't complain— You're a Junior. If somebody laughs at you, Just you laugh at yourself too, And if you seem all down and blue, Why, just cheer up, laugh at that, too, But don't complain— You're a Junior, If you think you can't be wise, Then why not be otherwise? If somebody plays unfair, You must always play it square; But don't complain— You're a Junior. When criticism's passed about, And you're almost put to rout, Why, just let your voice ring out In a song; don't stop and pout, And don't camplain— You're a Junior. When the clouds are hanging low, And you feel like "forty below," Remember the sun's always above With its warning beams of love; So don't complain— You're a Junior. Always let the wide world know, And to all your fellows show That your heart is big and warm, Never daunted by the storm, But don't complain— You're a Junior. Word reached here Thursday that Ada Williams, a student of Union college last semester, narrowly escaped injury recent- ly in an auto accident while on vacation with her parents in California. The three received some cuts and bruises, it is re- ported, but none serious enough to neces- sitate being treated at a hospital. The accident occurred when the automobile plunged off the highway down a twenty- five foot embankment. Missionary's Letter Reveals Problems Of Mission Life (Following is a letter recently received by Pastor M. J. Sorenson, returned mis- sionary now attending Union, from Mis- sionary V. E. Toppenberg, of the Uganda mission. Pastor Toppenberg has been a missionary to Africa for more than twen- ty years, serving in British East Africa, Egypt, Eritrea, and Abyssinia, where Pastor Sorenson was in mission work. Mr. Sorenson tells of the work of the writer and his family and of the hardships they endured during the war. He is now su- perintendent of the Uganda mission. We quote it here because of its bringing to view some of the problems of foreign life, a field of activity in which Union college is vitally interested.) Dear Brother and Sister Sorenson: Fourteen days ago I had to leave my wife in the Kampala hospital with a very bad attack of malaria. I had to attend a very important union committee meeting in the Kenya colony. When I returned Friday evening I found her back home and much better, though she still looks pale and is very tired. At this moment Bobby is lying in bed moaning, the malaria burning him up. If he does not get better in a day or so we shall have to take him to the hospital. I felt an at- tack coming on while I was at the union meeting, but I started with heavy doses of quinine in time to ward it off. We are now all eating quinine so that our hands shake. We have a four-year term of service here, but we are remaining another year until Brother and Sister Anderson return from their furlough. Thus we shall not leave until about July, 1932. The brethren in Europe told us that we would find good educational facilities for our children down here, our mission having planned to start a church school. But so few are willing to send their children that now it is to be used for other purposes. Thus we have no school to which we can send our children. I am thinking of sending my family either to the school in France or the one in South Africa this autumn. Brother Christian has written that he has hopes of securing a lady teacher for our children, but if that does not materialize I see no other way out of the difficulty than to send the family away to one of these schools.The school in France is much cheaper, and the children will learn French well there. The school in South Africa is quite good, and Mrs. Toppen- berg has her sister down there. But we almost think the French school the better place. If the family leaves this autumn, I shall leave not later than August, 1932, that being one year longer than the usual term of service. The government will build no schools for European children in Uganda, for they do not want children to remain in the country at all. They pay train fares for school children attending public schools in the Kenya highlands, but these are all boarding schools, and we do not dare send our children there. Do you happen to know some brave young woman who has been trained as a teacher and who would be willing to serye a term out here? Of course you know that we can make no engagement or even promise any such young lady teacher anything at all. The only thing we could do would be to suggest her name to the European Division committee for favorable consideration. But it would be a great help to know someone who really is capable and of a happy tempera- ment. If you happen to know of someone whom you consider suitable, would you be so kind as to let us know? We have a very interesting field here in Uganda, and I am able to get along quite well with the old Kiswahili language Of course, one could not learn all the languages spoken here. We have just secured a lovely mission station here near Kampala. We have never been in a more interesting mission field. The work was begun nearly four years ago. In 1928 eight were baptized, in 1929 sixteen were baptized, and in 1930 I baptized thirty- eight intelligent converts, a goodly num- ber of them being husbands and wives. Mrs. Toppenberg and the children join me in sending kindest regards to you all, also to the folks at home. Let us have a letter from you during the vacation. Very sincerely yours, V. E. Toppenberg 0 "Little jobs carefully attended have a habit of growing." 0 "He is happy who has conquered lazi- ness once and forever." "But to every man there openeth A way, and ways, and a way .

"Though the Bible contains many im- portant questions," said Ernest Hansen, "the most important of these is the ques- tion Pilate asked the mob: 'What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ?' The same question comes to ev- ery individual, and each must decide the answer for himself. It is not possible to be neutral in the conflict between good and evil." Mr. Hansen gave four reasons for accepting Christ: "We are His by crea- tion, we are His by redemption, He has given us exceeding precious promises in His Word, and there is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved.' Harold Cedol based his sermonette up- on the account of the great separation at the second coming of Christ. "The two most important words in this story," said Mr. Cedol, "are come and depart. Which shall we hear? Do we respond to the call for help from those in distress? It pays to see those who come to us in need. They bring with them a blessing which will be ours in the last judgment." Pastor Stevens spoke briefly upon proper posture in the pulpit. He stated that naturalness in the pulpit is the prin- ciple to be observed. It is perfectly proper for a beginner to take a position directly behind the pulpit, Pastor Stevens said. "The ideal posture in the pulpit has two requirements: it must make the speaker easy because the weight of his body is so placed that he will not lose his bal- ance; and the shoulders must be up and the chest out, the voice coming from the diaphragm rather than from the throat." Pastor Stevens declared that a beginner should never practice before the public. "When you come into the pulpit, be yourself, be natural." Mr. Preston reminded the seminar mem- bers that the Friday evening meetings are for the purpose of preparing workers, and that all should avail themselves of the opportunities for Christian service which they may find this summer. The musical feature of the evening was a duet by Olivia Harder and Ruth Johnson, accompanied at the piano by Ada Townsend. The holy shroud, purported by Catholic tradition to be the "clean linen cloth" which covered the body of Christ after he was removed from the cross, was on view at Turin, Italy, for the first time in thirty-three years. More than a million Catholics from many parts of the world are making the pilgrimage to worship near the garment in which Joseph Ari- mathea is said to have wrapped the Saviour 1,900 years ago. It will be ex- posed for three weeks.

JUNIOR ADVANTAGES The Junior is at the vantage point of his college course. He has progressed far enough that his perspective has become somewhat cleared of freshman illusions and delusions; and he has not yet the disadvantage of the seniors, who know that soon "that which is right- eous will be righteous still," and that which is otherwise will re- main equally unchangeable as far as their college course is concerned. The Junior has the unbounded enthusiasm of the lower classman and a measure of the clear-sighted judgment of the senior, though he lays no claim to senior dignity. His ambitions have been tempered by experience since he entered college a few years ago. He has met a good many obstacles, but difficulties have only given him a stronger determination and shifted his viewpoint more into line with life as it is and less in line with life as he imagined it to be. Thus his am- bitions have been recast and his aspirations have been molded into new lines. His great objective is still the same; but experience has seasoned, to a small degree at least, his judgment, making his approach to his ideals more certain of attaining to actuality. The Junior does not envy the freshman his illusions, nor does he envy the senior his proximity to his goal; because he still has enough illusions of his own which are as useful for purposes of in- spiration as those he has lost, and because he knows that when the senior reaches the goal of graduation it will not look half so big to him as it did back when he was a Junior. It will not be long until the Juniors will become seniors, and the seniors will become—what? Not freshmen for the third time—no, alumni. And then the Juniors will have another responsibility, filling the shoes of the seniors. THOMPSON SPEAKER President, After Trip to the East, Addresses Student Group "One of the greatest delusions about living is the idea that in tomorrow there may be something which may not be had today," stated President P. L. Thompson in his chapel talk Monday morning. His topic dealt chiefly with the lack of spirit- ual insight and understanding. The speaker likened the goals of life to bubbles which will leave one empty un- less he has 'eyes to see and ears to hear.' But whether these bubbles burst or not, unless the soul possesses the depth of understanding and appreciation of the beauty in the homely things of life, then man has missed the beautiful vision and is spiritually dumb, he said. President Thompson pointed out that noble life is only possible in this sordid world because of the existence of the allied things of the spirit: the ministry, poetry, art, and music. These things are the great aids to understanding and spir- itual discernment; they make us to see what is beautiful in our everyday life, he said. "The cup of sacrifice for another is the sweetest cup ever put to the lips of a human being," stated President Thomp- son, "for man 'shall not live by bread alone'; he must have eyes to see and the soul to understand." Students Hear Ensemble In Wednesday Chapel Hour The Union college vocal ensemble at the Wednesday chapel period presented a portion of the program which was given on the concert tour from which the group had returned the preceding Sunday night. "Evening Song," By Acadett, was the opening number. Other selections were "Lo! What a Branch of Beauty," by Praetonius; and "Come Holy Ghost," by Palestrina. "The Heavens Proclaim," by Beethoven, was given as one composition for ensemble. The negro spiritual, "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," was sung and re- peated by request. Mrs. Esther Lorntz Ledington, soprano soloist of the ensemble, sang three selec- tions, "Morning," by Oley Speaks; "The Wind's in the South" by Scott; and "Pleading," by Scott. Earning Power May Increase Happiness By HAROLD CI-IRISTENSEN It seems that there is something which everyone wants, needs, and is every try- ing to obtain — money. It matters not whether he has little or much, he is always endeavoring to devise way.; by which he may increase the amount he possesses. The fact that others have this same medium of exchange does not de- crease but tends to increase his own de- sire to obtain more of it. What is it that would go undone if enough money were paid for the doing of it? Boys will even crawl on their knees all afternoon per- forming the tedious task of digging dande- lions in order to obtain a little cash. Money is defined in various ways; one states that it is the "provider of every- thing except happiness, and the pass- port to every place except heaven." There are many people who have great amounts of money and are unhappy, but it hardly seems reasonable to believe that their possessing it is the reason for their unhappiness, but rather that they have not made the right use of what they have. Money alone cannot bring happi- ness; but certainly it contributes toward happiness. It is incredible that people should do so much to obtain money if they do not feel that they will be happier and more contented after all their efforts than they were previously. We are told to consider the birds and lower creatures, how they neither sow nor reap, and yet they are happy; and what more could anyone have done for him than have tfise creatures? Every- thing that they need is supplied to them; it is theirs for the getting. Can you imagine a hungry boy being happy? Just satisfy his appetite, and watch the change in his countenance. What a transformation! What brought it !ill about? Nothing but a little money, which served as a medium by which he was able to have his wants satisfied. And then, he, like the birds, was happy. Can you imagine a boy without a cent in his pocket, being happy on a circus day? Just give him a little to jingle, and watch him go down the street; you'd think he was going to turn the town "upside down." TOGETHER FOR A COMMON PURPOSE The Juniors of 1931 are a class that have passed the crucial stage of their journey toward the higher aim. They have, as is said of an athlete, "got their second wind," and only through sheer perse- verance and grit has this been accomplished. It is the last lap in a race that is the hardest, but the Juniors are still running, strong and valiant, with the largest class representation in several years. Their aims are not confined to a technical education, but they feel that what they have achieved in the friendships and associations they have made with students and teachers has been of as great value to them. It is through its spirit of loyalty and union that the Junior class wishes to be known. The Junior class of '31 wishes to express faith in Union college, in her students, and in the wonderful opportunities Union presents in the higher cause of living, thinking, and doing. All members of the Junior class come from this great Middle West, and their visions and aims are as broad and rich in potential value as the richly productive, broad, rolling prairies from which they have come. The spirit of the pioneer is still pulsating in their blood and the cry of "Westward ho!" rings in their hearts. They push outward another frontier—the frontier of Christianity toward the many out- posts of this great unchristian world that have not as yet been reached. So here to Union they have all come, from the many parts of these United States; and here they find themselves bound by a com- mon tie as Juniors—not for the sake of the name, or for the sake of approaching seniority, but on the common grounds of brotherhood— for preparation for service, because of a common faith in Union col- lege and her principles, and for the pushing of the frontier farther on to the dark and hidden outposts of the unloved, uncared-for world. The advancement has meant much work, much 'sacrifice, and some disappointments; yet the Junior class believes, and always will believe, in Union college. And the reason they believe in Union col- lege is that her very foundational principles are the principles of high and clean and Christian living. H. L. ORDER YOUR GRADUATION WATCH NOW!

We have often heard that char- acter is revealed by the people with whom we associate; in like manner, character is revealed by the way we spend our leisure time. Our leisure time may either be a blessing or a curse; it is in our power to choose which it will be. There are many profitable ways in which leisure time may be spent. Pleasant reading constitutes the most frequent and convenient leisure pursuit of many Americans, and yet there are many per- sons who miss the joy and privilege that are so near at hand because they fail to find them. There are, however, some who are less interested in reading as a means of en- joying their leisure time. They may per- haps be interested in music for recrea- tion; for music is intensely enjoyable; it contains the gems of art that fascinate people and leave them with a - song in the heart' to lighten the glooms of life, as one of our song writers suggests. -Though the road may be long, In the lilt of a song I forget I was weary before." A few spend their leisure time in phys- ical exercise. This form of recreation is perhaps neglected the most by a large number of people, but it is one of the most important. Some people are always rushing around but never seem to accomplish anything. When a task must be performed, one should stay by it until it is completed and then one will have time left for recreation. ANSWER THESE?

Wesley Plinke gave a short talk con- cerning the gifts all receive from their mothers, those gifts of love, truth, and kindness. Accompanied by Professor Ledington, Wallace Nethery and Joyce Hall played as a duet, "Mother Machree." The music was a special arrangement by Professor Ledington for the program. Jess Storrs next read "Mothers of Men," a poem. Another musical number, "Mother 0' Mine," was sung as a solo by Alten Bringle. Clyde Bushnell related some of the experiences he had had which helped him to appreciate his mother more. Bert McBroom, although a loyal sup- porter of Mother's Day, made a speech about "Dad." PROPHESIES OF JUNIORS (Continued from page one) others in the Junior Class who held, at one time or another, offices on the CLOCK TOWER staff. Hazel Brebner, one of our Juniors, was editor-in-chief of the CLOCK TOWER in '31. Lowell Welch, Elinore Hahn, Bessie McCumsey, and Glora Bruce had also held places on Union's school paper. There were also four mem- bers in that class who were on the Gold- en Cords staff sometime during their three years at Union. My attention is drawn to Pacific Union college by another light. Let's see whom we can find there. Frankie Dearborn looks very much at home in the registrar's of- five. Frankie was secretary of the Junior class of '31 and was also secretary to President Thompson. In Colorado I see a little bungalow nestled among the pines. As I come nearer I can see Ruth Downing standing in the doorway, dressed in a neat house apron. Ruth always was fond of teaching, al- though she doesn't have as many pupils now as she used to have when she taught church school in Kansas. There were six members of the Junior class who hac' taught school in the years previous. And now I see Michigan. In the De- troit church our Junior class president, Lowell Welch, is standing in the pulpit. Lowell got his start through the colpor- teur work. When the colporteur institute met at Union a few weeks before school was out the year he was a Junior, he was chosen to fill the office of field missionary secretary of the Missouri con- ference. There were three colporteurs in that Junior class. Also there were four who had helped conduct evangelistic tent meet- ings during the summers. Now, the globe has disappeared. I did- n't see every Junior of that class of '31, but no doubt the rest are also taking an active part in the service for mankind.

Nothing Ever Achieved Cannot Be Done Better "Some think there is no new thing," said Professor Stevens in opening his chapel talk Friday morning. "Some of us think that no matter how much we do we can never produce anything new. A man must think a new thought or he is dead spiritually. Nothing has been done which cannot be done better. "We, as children, could not distin- guish clearly between the past generations. In my own mind, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and my father were the great patriarchs. When my father told me about buffaloes, yokes of oxen, covered wagons, Robert Fulton's steamboat, and the railroad, I was convinced that he had seen the original of each of these. "As one grows older, he comes to realize and to get a better perspective. The progress which has been made in art, literature, and habits of life can be traced by visiting various people which now exist in different stages of progress. Prior to the time when I was called to be a mis- sionary, I had not had the opportunity to travel very much. I took advantage of my opportunity by visiting many of the eastern cities before I sailed from New York. I was impressed by what I saw, of the fact that the western part of our nation is essentially new. Whatever we have which is old is to be found in the eastern part of our country. When I visited London, I learned that our nation was all quite young." The speaker closed his remarks with the following quotation: "Let us then be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, stil pursuing— Learn to labor and to wait." "In order to increase in learning, get some learning to increase." 1— rrofitahie Studies Are Conducted by Students Members of the Gospel Workers' sem- ing continued their regular Bible studies in Lincoln Sabbath afternoon. The old colored woman whom Ramona Ellis vis- ited was observing her first Sabbath. Miss Ellis gave her a study on preparation for Christ's second coming. Sophia Van Buskirk, accompanied by Ruth Downing, conducted a study in another home on the story of the Good Samaritan. Four ladies were present to take part in the Bible study given by Bessie Mc- Cumsey in a Spanish home. The subject of the study was "The Fall of Man and the Plan of Redemption." The two ladies with whom the studies were begun a few weeks ago are interesting their neighbors and the class is growing from week to week. Walter Howe conducted the service at Nebraska City. His sermon was based on the parable of the laborers in the vine- yard, Matthew 20:1-16. He was accom- panied by Mr. and Mrs. William Kirstein and their daughter, Doris. Mr. and Mr:- Airstein sang a duct tor tne cnurcn ser- vice, and Miss Kirstein sang for the Sab- bath school. 0 ENSEMBLE SINGS IN LINCOLN (Continued from page one) (Stanley Ledington), sung by Mrs. Led- ington; "Hosanna" ( from the cantata Prince of Life, by Stanley Ledington) , by the ensemble.

Mr. and Mrs. Lars Chiistensen, of Col- lege View, are visiting Atlanta, Nebraska, where Mrs. Christensen's mother is very The men's glee club sang two numbers during the chapel exercises Friday morn- ing. The two songs were - When Song is Sweet" by Sons-Sauci, and "Sailor Town, - by Wiley. Many new bulbs and plants have been purchased, which are being set out in the flower beds of the campus. The porch boxes and hanging baskets are in place again at both North and South halls. Pastor M. L. Rice, president of the Upper Columbia conference, visited South hall friends Sunday. Pastor Rice was formerly president of the Colorado con- ference. Fairy Pettey and Beatrice Ross en- tertained at breakfast in the spread room at North hall Sunday morning. Their guests were Ruth Gardner, Lennie Ger ford, Opal Andrews, and Geraldine Davis. According to word recently received from the Pacific Press, two Union college students have been awarded prizes in the contest sponsored by the Signs of the Times. Mrs. Gladys Merkel, a profes- sional senior, who submitted an article entitled "He Will Come Again" was awarded a first prize. Esther Johnson, a college senior, won a second prize. Mildred Rhoads spent the week-end at her home in Topeka, Kansas. New rock corners enclosing flower beds have been made by the road north of North hall. The seniors of the College View high school went to Crete Friday, spending the day at Horkey's park. Mrs. Lou Schofield, of Scandy, Kan- sas, is visiting at the home of Mr. J. M. Adams, 5334 Cooper avenue. Mrs. P. L. Thompson entertained the members of the College View reading club in the North hall parlors last Wed- nesday afternoon. Lowell Welch went to Kansas City the past week-end in the interests of the colporteur work. Mr. Welch is to be field secretary in Missouri this summer. Dr. James Milton, a recent graduate from the Chicago university, spoke to the Home Health club at the church Tuesday evening on the subject of insanity. Thursday evening the girls spent most of the worship hour in the annual "dande- lion dig." Besides digging dandelions some of the girls ran the lawn mower and picked up sticks and papers. Roy Brebner, of the college senior class, History and English major, has been elected to the faculty of the Napo- nee, Nebraska, high school, where he will teach English and typewriting. The approaching Mother's Day was the general theme chosen for the girl's club meeting last Wednesday evening. Mildred Haas talked on - our mothers." Rae Haviland gave two appropriate piano- logues and small Jane Sorenson sang "Babyland. - Lilah Baer, Arta Parmelee, and Katherine Lutz sang a song dedicated to fathers. Preceding the program Miss Rees, the North hall "mother," was pre- sented with a basket of flowers with a few remarks of appreciation by the presi- dent of the club, Norma Hilde. Dean Nelson is Speaker At Reformatory Thursday - Everyone has a conscience," stated Professor R. E. Nelson in addressing the boys at the reformatory in the regu- lar meeting held there by the seminar Thursday evening. - All are conscious of their wrong-doing, - he said, "but some do not follow the dictates of their con- science. All have this inner voice that tells them what is right and wrong." He then gave several incidents that showed that even savages of the worst type arc conscious of their wrong-doing. - If one will listen to his conscience, be guided by it, and not let it become seared, he will always know which is the right way to take," he concluded. Special music was furnished by Del- bert Marquardt, who sang, "Pal 0' Mine," and ''Be the Best of Whatever You Are," accompanied at the piano by Clinton von Pohle. ANSWERS TO HISTORICAL QUESTIONS ON PAGE 3 It was Napoleon who said, - There lies a sleeping giant. Let him sleep; for when he wakes he will move the world." One hundred years later the civilized world is beginning to realize the truth of this statement. This saying originated in pioneer days, it is believed, and refers to hog- killing time, which is referred to as a kill- ing time. The lonely dwellers of the woodland looked forward to this occasion with keen delight, for it meant an enjoy- able social gathering as well as things to eat. The Confederates were reduced to the necessity of digging up the dirt floors of their smoke houses, which contained the drippings from salted meat. This earth was boiled in order to obtain the small amount of salt therein. Pitcairn Island in the Pacific Ocean is an Adventist island. The one hundred people living there are descendants of some sailors who mutinied, killed their captain, stole some native women from Tahiti, and sailed to that lonely spot to live. In the hundred years the inhabitants increased rapidly. About fifty years ago Adventist missionaries carried their mes- sage to this island and it was accepted by the entire popuation. These people pay a tithe of their money earned from trade with passing vessels and do their Har- vest Ingathering work by soliciting pas- sengers and crew of any ship which may stop. Slavery was introduced into the United States by a Dutch sea captain who in 1619 sailed into the harbor at Jamestown, the only English colony then settled in America. Herbert Hoover is the only engineer to become president. He has served in China and various other parts of the world in developing mines and other im- portant projects. The New England states attempted to secede during the War of 1812. Dele- gates met at the Hartford Convention to consider the proposition, but the war fortunately ended in time to stop this traitorous proceeding. The famous trio of Virginians—Jef- ferson, Madison, and Monroe--ruled our nation the first quarter of the nineteenth century. This group was dubbed the Vir- ginia Dynasty. Lake Erie was called Presque Isle for some years. It was named by :he French. The Northwest Passage, the dream of explorers for four centuries, was dis- covered by Roald Amundsen early in the twentieth century. 0 SERVICE IN HONOR OF MOTHERS (Continued from page one) you. It was at her knee that you heard the story of the Jesus and learned to pray. It was she who comforted you in your childish frights. Mother-love is next to the expression of the divine love. Let us make up our minds to make the lot of our mothers a little happier." A reading by Miss Lulu Blanche Hiatt from Maclaren's "Our Neighbors" told the story of a Scotch father and mother who sacrificed in order to give their son an education. Norma Hilde presented a reading which portrayed the experience of two sons who had decided to send their old mother to the poorhouse rather than continue to support her. The two men came to tell their mother of their plans for her, but when they met her in the old home, they were won over by her love, and instead of breaking the news to her, they in- creased what they were providing for her. Musical numbers for the program were "Mothers," composed by a Union college student, sung by the congregation to the tune of - Sunlight in the Heart"; - Little Mother of Mine," solo by Caris Lauda; "Mother, 0 My Mother," by Lilah and Frank Baer; "Mother's Bright Smile Haunts Me Still," by a male quartet, Dale Strawn, Frank Baer, Richard Gibson, and Elmer Schmidt; and a selection by the vocal ensemble. HEAR FAMED READER (Continued from page one) appointed, stands firm to his purpose and true to his ideal, that of following Christ, not "afar off, - as he said was the way it was being done by his fellow-church- men. The second scene Mrs. Morrison de- scribed was in the Goodkind home, where a delegation of working men come to ask for better working conditions in order that they might really live. Gilchrist, who is in the employ of the elder Goodkind, is sent out to the mines to make adjust- ments with them, but makes terms so fraternal and therefore so revolutionary in the eyes of the greedy business man that again he is called a "fool." The out- working of the situation brings about his discharge, largely through the influence of young Goodkind. The third part of the reading pictures a city mission, "Overcoat Hall," so named because the director, Daniel Gil. christ, is always willing to give a "down- and-outer" his overcoat. The magnani- mous way in which Dan treats the poor outcasts is shown. The last part of the story takes place in Gilchrist's room where he holds meetings for the poor people. Clare comes to him, admitting that she has made a mistake, and wants t be taken back. However, Dan sternly, kindly sends her back to her husband the half-insane, degenerated Jerry, to whom her duty is. Dan's good work continues. Jerry Goodkind, in all his miserable insanity, visits him one day telling him that h is still "the fool" because he will not leave his work to take advantage of big of- fers of money. However, it is finally de- cided that Dan is the success and Jerry and his rich father are the fools. The story showed in a vivid way that it means to follow Christ wholeheartedly, both the sacrifice and the joy which is its reward. CLASS PRESENTS UNIQUE PROGRAM (Continued from page one) and Dorothy Aultfather discussed the Song of Solomon as to its origin in the marriage customs of the East and its alle- gorical meaning. Opal Andrews read "Sleep," by Eliza- beth Barrett Browning. The poem is based on Psalms 27:2. Two solos, from Isaiah, 52:7 and Psalms 24, were sung by Lilah Baer and Alten Bringle respectively. Mr Bringle was accompanied by Estelle Kiehnhoff at the organ. Miss Kiehnhoff also played an organ prelude and a post- lude. The benediction, from Number 6:24, was pronounced by the class in unison. "Happiness grows at our own fire-sides and is not to be picked in strangers' gardens." "Some people are so painfully correct that they would rather be right than be pleasant."
