Loyal service has been rendered throughout the union. All have cooperated and worked earnest- ly. Whole-hearted support has been realized by the leaders. We wish to express our appreciation for the loyal support rendered in reaching the $39,000 ingathering goal. Word has been received from every local con- ference that their goal has been reached. When the news came from the union 'ionic missionary secretary that the Northern Union had reached its goal, the telegram was read to the brethren assembled in the Presidents' Council at Battle Creek. The breth- ren were greatly encouraged and sent the following message: - "PRESIDENT COUNCIL CON- GRATULATES NORTHERN UNION ON REACHING INGATHERING GOAL. ALL CHEER YOU ON BE- ING THE FIRST UNION OVER. THE TOP THIS YEAR. MAY RICH BLESSINGS OF GOD BE WITH YOU IN THE WORK. URGENT NEED OF MISSION FIELDS TO FILL NEW CALLS AND OPEN- INGS. MAKE STRONG APPEAL FOR INCREASED MISSION OF- FERING," Many 'churches have reached the super goal; others are laboring hard to attain it. Be of good courage, brethren, and do your very best. The fields are ripe for the harvest, but the laborers are few, We must do the work of the Lord while it is day, for "the night cometh when no man can work." Now is the opportune time to finish God's work in the earth and be ready to meet Him when He. comes to claim His own. E. H. Oswald There is an' eloquence far more powerful than the eloquence of words in the quiet, consistent life of a pure, true Christiati.—M. H. p. 469. A Surprise Message TELEGRAM A HARD-WORKING MINIS- TRY AND A FAITHFUL PEO- PLE HAVE AGAIN DEMON- STRATED THEIR LOYALTY TO OUR WORLD MISSION PROGRAM. THE NORTHERN UNION PASSED THE IN- GATHERING GOAL TO- NIGHT. � D. E. REINER The above message was sent Sab- bath evening, October 15, to Elder Oswald in attendance at the Autumn Council in Battle Creek. It created quite a sensation when it was read on the floor. Our union was the first one in North America to reach its goal. Every local conference was also over the top at that time. Letters from Elders Oswald, Bergherm and Butler have conveyed congratula- tions from the council to every lead- er, minister and church member in our great field, thanking us heartily for the wonderful work done this year. We praise God for His wonderful work in the hearts of men. Let us pause a moment and hum a stanza of 011/,‘, praise to His dear name: "0 for a thousand tongues to sing, Blessed be the name of the Lord." We have all been at it. We have all had a good time while doing it, and only have one regret and that is that we have not worked a little longer and a little harder while the time lasted. Even now it is not too late. We must work on faithfully until our super goals are reached. D. E. Reiner Is It True? Is it true that every day some un- saved souls are going down into their graves? Is it true that some have been neighbors to members of the Seventh-day Adventist church, yet have never had an opportunity of knowing the truth before being called by death? LS ,uch has been the case, it need not be duplicated; for we have the best books in the world— books suitable for every occasion, and from these has been chosen an as- sortment of eleven books which ap- peal to all members of the family for Christmas gifts. Many, upon call- ing at the homes with these books, have been told by the prospect that they had searched. every bookstore in the city for just such books, which proves that in many instances you have but to show these books and they will sell themselves. In this work .you can be a blessing and earn some- thing too, for a liberal commission is allowed.

We appreciate the news it brings, the reports it carries, the announce- ments it makes, and its unifying offices. It is like an old friend, and we look forward to its cheering visits. You are seldom asked to do anything for all its services; however, on Octo- ber 29 the offering to be received in all our churches is for the "Outlook." Beloved let us be liberal toward our good friend. DeWitt S. Osgood Pressing On A few days ago the peace of the world hung by the merest thread Who knows what conditions may hedge us about before another Har- vest Ingathering season returns? Be- loved, Iowa reached its base goal,— October 15 was Victory Day, not it name but in fact. We praise God. In this hour of triumph we feel con- strained to urge those churches which have not reached their super goal, to redouble their efforts; and while we commend those who have succeeded, we hope they will not leave any ter- ritory unworked, but that they will gather in the Harvest Ingathering mission funds while this favorable day of opportunity lasts. DeWitt S. Osgood On the Home Stretch What? Yes, it is Institutional Re- lief again. You thought that cam- paign was over Think again, it was to be pronioted in the spring and worked at during the whole year, that the full goal might be realized,It is Institutional Relief on the home stretch. Iowa can rejoice in victory here also. During November and 'December we will once more rally our forces to reach the goal. Now is the time to pay your Institutional Relief pledge. Let's be determined to sing the victor's song. DeWitt S.

Harvest Ingathering It is with great rejoicing that we report to the field that the Iowa. Con- ference has gone over the top in their base goal for the Harvest Ingather- ing, having $11, 452. We are now only $1500 from going over the the top in our super goal. We trust that every one who reads these lines will help us by doing his part to make this pos- sible. There never was a time in which the people in the field responded like they have this year to this work for foreign missions. Elder Archbold, in District No. 1, together with Brother Calvin Gordon and Elder Bert Rhoads, were first to go over the top as a district in the Harvest Ingathering. • Brother Nord- strom, in his section, has gone over the top with all of his churches, and Brother Fillman is speeding along and soon his district as a whole will be over the top. District No. 3 is steadily pushing to the front, and Elder C. H. Miller sends us a long distance telephone call tel- ling us that Waterloo has gone over the top. In District No. 4, Cedar Rapids now has $350; and Sister''. Titzell, of Iowa, City, sends in the report that Iowa City has gone over the top in their goal. Sister Blanch- ard writes in from Davenport that they are at the $600 mark and speed- ing on toward their super goal. Brother Knecht and Brother Kepkey are singing the victory song as this whole district has gone over the top. Brother Knecht has done a splendid work in his section, putting - every church over the top in their super goals. I would like to give special mention to Sister Stemple White of Oskaloosa, who, with some of the sisters there, raised $88 in .one week Northern Union Outlook Official Organ of the Northern Union Con- ference of Seventh-day Adventists A.

Brother A. J. Gordon and Sister N. F. Reed have done a 'noble- work with the business men,- in that city; and the church school, under the direction of Brother Smith, brought in over $200. They weighed the money they received for one one week and it weighed twenty pounds. Sister Gordon did a splendid work with the singing band. This church has ordered a hundred LIBERTY magazines to follow up the interested persons contacted in the Harvest Ingathering. Brother Hudson is just a few dollars from reaching the super goal for the Philadelphia church In District No. 7, nine churches and companies are over the top. Brother Bernhard Petersen has certainly done a speedy and wonderful work this year in his district and they are all shouting the victory song now. Brother Boehrig is rejoicing because it will not be long before his section is over the top. And, oh, what excite- ment in Nevaaa! Tcgether with Ames and Perry, they have over the thou- sand dollar -mark. They are still 'working;, and, no doubt Nevada will have the highest returns in the Her- vest Ingathering they have ever had. The Oak Park Academy students have done wonderful work • this year. Be- sides going out in their drive, they have had singing bands in different sections of this territory. Brother P.• E. Jensen, with his sinning band, has brought in $77; and Mrs. Phil Coy, of Ames, helped to bring in � almOst $200. � - We rejoice at the accomplishments of our people and want to say "thank you" again for this cooperation.

After accounting for eight deaths and a net loss of 25 through transfer, etc., the Iowa Con- ference membership stood at 2957 on . September 30, 1938. A year ago the • membership stood at 2896. Elder E. M. Adams, of the Philip- pines, a missionary in that progres- sive island field since 1912, but now on furlough, passed through Iowa re- cently en route to Battle Creek. He spoke in the Nevada church Sabbath morning, October 15. Mrs. Adams and Aldine arc visiting at the home of Brother and Sister F. W. Griffin, of Ames, while Elder Adams is in attendance at the Autumn Council. It will be a matter of interest and coura.6e to learn that the tithe re- ceipts for the first nine months of the year, ending September 30, aggregate $44,535.17, a gain of $2,676.82 as coin, pared with the corresponding peri- od of last year, or approximately (continued on page 6) INP44~04*~~~4.4,41WWWW4iNewpo.~41 Minnesota Conference V.

Each church had. its super goal in Harvest Ingathering. Each church was happy—the members were ac- complishing great things for God; they were working. Elders J. W. Christian and C. E. Smith had their districts 'well or- ganized. It was pleasant to work in their territory. Many of our people. purchased Home Worker's books to sell during .. the Christmas 'selling-season now on.. Others bought these books for their personal libraries. Everyone thinks they are the best selection we have.; , had for years. Have you ordered any yet? If not, you. will not want to delay longer. They are going rapidly. Send your order to the Minnesota Book & Bible House today. Elder and Mrs. Gerrard,' Elvin, and baby Glenda, joined the wife and me at Austin. Elder Gerrard spoke at Austin Sabbath morning, October 15, . and at Albert Lea in the afternoon. We wish the Lord's continued blessings upon our active believers -in the two southern districts. C. G. Cross Colporteur Institute Minnesota colporteurs will join col- porteurs from North and South Da- kota and Iowa at a union institute at Sioux Falls, South Dakota, beginning Monday evening, November 7.

Howe 4 � NORTHERN UNION OUTLOOK Effort in North Minneapolis For some time it has been thought by the conference committee that larger plans should bo laid for reach- ing the people in north Minneapolis. So, soon after camp meeting, a. loca- tion was secured, and an auditorium was built at the corner of 24th and Aldrich Avenue North. Elder and Mrs. A. L. Bietz were asked to head up this effort. They are being very ably assisted by Brother and Sister Carl.Sundin and Sister Ethel Beeson.. On September 11 those meetings opened with an overflow audience. Hundreds were turned away. The in- terest has continued to grow, and every Sunday night the auditorium is far too small. The attendance throughout the week has been excellent. Sunday night the 16th of October, began the sixth week; and in order to accommodate the people, two ser- vices were held;—one at seven and one at eight-fifteen. The auditorium was full at both of these services. This plan will also be carried out on Sunday night, the 23d, when the Sabbath question is given. We hope that our people through- out the conference will remember this work in north Minneapolis in their prayers. As these workers enter the testing truths of our message, we hope that you will pray that they will be presented in the right way, and that a number of souls may join in finishing the work of the third angel's.. message. � B. C.. Marshall Youth Rally It was indeed a pleasure to meet with the Hewitt, Waden4l, Staples, New York � Eagle Bend, and Parkers Prairie youth and church members at a joint rally held at the community hall in Hewitt. Sabbath morning, October 15, the Lord richly Messed us in the preach- ivg service, and in the afternoon Bro- ther and Sister Leon Russell and Sis- ter Ben Russell presented a large group to be invested in the progres- sive classes. There were twenty-three Friends, six Companions, three Com- rades, and three Master Comrades invested. We wish the Lord's richest blessing to attend these earnest youth who have pledged themselves by the grace of God to be pure, and kind, and true, to keep the Junior law, and. to be a servant of God and a friend to man. The evening was spent in pleasant association together—in marching and playing games and renewing old acquaintances. We are looking forward to many such occasions as this in the different districts throughout our conference. . C. H. Lauda Thanks to Hutchinson Wo want to take this opportunity to thank the loyal church members at Hutchinson for. their part in the M. W. A. annual field day for Har- vest Ingathering, held October 3. These loyal people did their part, not only by soliciting, but by furnish- ing autos, gas, and drivers, and with- out them the auction held at the close of the day would not have been a success. Very often in the enthusiasm of a campaign with youth we overlook the fine support and cooperation the older members of the church gave us; and we again want to praise our loyal church members, because we know they are heart and soul for the sal- vation of our youth. C. H. Lauda Bible Year Awards In visiting the different churches I find that a number of our people are not aware of the fact that the Minnesota Missionary Volunteer De- partment is giving to all those who read their Bible through this year, 1938, a special Bible Year award entitled "On the Moutainside." We are sure all our youth, as well as older members of the church, will be happy to receive this award. Notify your � V. leader or secretary in your church; and if you are isolated, write direct to us here at the con- ference office and we will he happy to present you with this Bible Year award. Should it be that some of you read your Bible in 1937 and did not re- ceive your award for that year, let us know. We still have a few of the awards for 1937 left. The award for 1937 was the booklet entitled "God's Challenge to Youth." C. H. Lauda Maplewood 'Booster Club The Maplewood Academy Booster Club had its annual banquet for the board members, faculty, and students, Sunday night, October 9, honoring the senior class for its successful endeav- ors during the .past year in solicit- ing students. Virginia Frederickson, Ronald Beardsley, and Rosalie Moris- set have earned the highest number of points. Eighteen other students are entitled to pennants for their efforts. Professor Heim presented the awards and was master of ceremonies. The program of the evening con- sisted of a speech "Boosting the Booster Club" by Mr. F. Swearingen, sponsor of the organization; a res- ponse from the senior class, given by Norma Thulin; a reading by 'Mrs. WI. Roth; and a speech; "Looking Ahead" by Elder V. E. Peugh. Vocal selections were rendered by the Lauda Laurelers and a ladies' trio. Toasts to the board, to the faculty, and to the workers, were given by Prof. E. D. Kirk, Betty Lou Dickin- son, and Elder C. H. Lauda, res- pectively. Virginia Frederickson told "Why I Boosted," and Donovan Olson, of South America told "Why I Came," speaking of the high ideals and Christian spirit he has found at Maplewood Academy. Board mem- bers, teachers, students, and friends joined in singing the school song to close the program. The dining room was decorated with multi-colored autumn - leaves, bal- loons, yellow and green candles in log candle-holders. Orchestral music was played during the serving of the four-course dinner. Frank Swearingen Thank You During the past year.I have spent many weeks traveling in Minnesota and have enjoyed meeting with many of the Minnesota members in your churches on the Sabbath and at other times. I have enjoyed your friend- ship and hospitality. I have been loyally entertained in ninny of your homes -and now that I am returning to my home in South Dakota, I will long remember the pleasant times spent with you.

A large number of the members of the Killdeer church, relatives and friends, attended the ceremony. We wish this newly-wedded couple many of God's blessings as they journey through life together. S. J. Denichuk Miss Delia Reinke and Richard Kungel, both of Kulm, wore united in marriage September 11. Between two and three hundred guests at- tended the wedding which was con- lucted in the Seventh-day Adventist church at Kulm. All were invited to ,he home of the bride for supper. They will make their home at Kulm. Elder D. N. Wall officiated at the wedding. We pray Gad to richly bless this new home. Nettie Mae Warneke of Bottineau and Harold Vincent Wall of James- town were united in marriage September 26 at Bottineau. Our church members and other friends attended the wedding which was conducted in the Warneke farm home. In his wedding sermon, Elder D. N. Wall stated that it was always a plea- sure to officiate at weddings when both bridegroom and bride were known to be true Christians, but that to officiate at this wedding afforded him special pleasure since the bride- groom was his own son. Immediately after the wedding the newlyweds went for a trip to James- town, North Dakota. They will make their home in the Turtle Mountains near Bottineau. We wish them God's rich blessing. Evidences of the Latter Rain "THE WORK of God in this earth can never be finished until the men and women comprising our church membership rally to the work, and unite their efforts with those of min- isters and church officers." a W. p. 352 I ask you brethren, what better way can we unite, our efforts with those of the ministers and church officers in finishing the work of God than by the distribution of our literature? "We cannot too highly estimate this work; for were it not for the efforts of the canvasser, many would never hear the warning." C. E., p. 5 Realizing this fact, many are writ- ing in for information, canvasses, and territory. Here are portions of a few letters recently received: "My roomate and I are planning on selling the HEALTH and the WIA.TCILMAN during our spare time this winter. Please send us any in- formation on how to get started. We can begin any time." 'Will you send me a canvass, as I plan in the very near future to sell some of our literature in a nearby town. I would like to attend one of your institutes to learn more about Christian Salesmanship. "Send me a canvass for HEALTH and for BEDTIME STORIES. I like the magazine very much and believe that BEDTIME STORIES will sell well for Christmas. I am enclosing $1.00 for the prospectus." "My conscience troubled me all summer because I was not in the Lord's work. Now the opportunity has opened for my wife and me to work, and we want to begin at once." The many students did excellent work this summer, and I believe that North Dakota will have a large force of winter workers. "Pray ye, there- fore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into His harvest." Roger Baker, Field Secretary News Items We are happy to report that Bro- ther Rusted was first to go over the super goal in the Ingathering. Three cheers for Brother Rusted! Brother Bollinger, wife, son, and daughter-in-law paid the office a visit yesterday. They had been visiting their sister near Goodrich, and were on their way to Tolstoy, South Dakota. Mrs. B. L. Sehlotthauer has been in St. Paul for three weeks, where she underwent an operation. She is on the way to health again. Let us remember her in our prayers. ' Geo. Loewen reported a very suc- cessful M. V. Convention at New Home October 7-9. Several of the nearby churches came in for the con- ,vention. The members that took part in the meeting were: � H. Seibel, Willard Wentland, from Nebraska, Roger Baker, our field secretary, Hans Kuehne, who now lives in Wood- worth, Adam Hoffman, and some of the young people of the society. They all enjoyed the meetings, and we hope the young people have been helped to live better lives for God. M. F. Grau spoke in the Jamestown church Sabbath, October 15. He gave a very timely message, which was enjoyed by all. We still have a few numbers of the special Temperance SIGNS OF THE TIMES. These aro regularly $2.00 a hundred. We will mail these out for $1.50 a hundred as long as they last. This is the best literature avail- able on temperance. Order your sup- ply and distribute them among your friends and neighbors.

Nearly sixty persons were in attendance, some of them coming in from points over fifty miles away. An intensive, inspirational program was followed, beginning. Friday eve- ning and ending Sunday night. A quiet spirit of reverent attentive tress was manifested throughout the meeting. The Lord came near to our hearts in blessing. On the Sabbath the ordinances were celebrated with a goodly number participating. On Sun- day morning one sister was baptized. Three or four others are anticipating union with the church in the spring. One cannot appreciate the !circum- stances of our dear scattered people in this region until he has visited this barren and unproductive northern section. Very little of the soil is under cultivation. Sheep, cattle, and poultry are the chief sources of in- come for our farmers there. Not one word of complaint did we hear. Our people are of good courage, and they are demonstrating their faith in the verity of the "blessed hope", by their works. The little bison church has brought in nearly $200.00 tithe thus far in 1938 and offerings have been proportional. Brother Carl Braun, who is in, charge of the work in this district, was with us.

Rhoads Week of Prayer at Plainview It was my privilege to spend the week of September 17 to 24 at Plain- view Academy, where we enjoyed the blessing of the Lord during our fall Week of Prayer. The academy has a somewhat larger enrollment this year than last, and although most of the school faculty are quite new, they are getting things nicely organized and quite well under way. The Lord came very near and man- ifested His power to change hearts, and the most of those who had not been baptized previously, responded to the invitation to join the baptis- mal class. Practically all of the stu- dents responded to the call for re- consecration. I enjoyed very much working with the faculty of Plainview Academy, and my earnest prayers go with them and the student body as-they proceed with the school year. K. L.
