A MINUTE ANALYZED AND EVALUATED A Golden Opportunity—It May Mean A Life Saved or Lost By CLINTON VON POHLE "Will the following please meet for a minute after chapel: —." How often have we heard such an announcement! Only a minute! Just a small, almost un- noticed minute, the sixtieth part of an hour One does not count it as much in a lifetime, but goes on his way, losing a minute here, stopping a minute there, never missing them. Of what use is just one minute? How many times we have heard the old saying: "Take care of the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves." Many of us have heard it since child- hood, for that is the foundation upon which is built the structure of economy. We find that saying especially true here in school, where money is scarce at the best. And we have learned to abide by it, and have found that it really works out in our every-day life. But let us change that adage a bit, so that it will read thus: "Take care of the minutes and the hours will take care of themselves." Is not the principle the same? The other day I heard a student complaining that he did not have time enough to keep up with all his lesson assignments. He didn't know where all his time went to, but he never had enough of it. He was sure he used every minute of the day advantageously, but still he did not have enough time. No, he didn't take advantage of the small periods of spare time he had. He didn't take care of the minutes. A minute to the business man is sixty seconds crowded with work; a minute to the traveler means the possibility of miss- ing a train; a minute to the laborer means that much more toward the support of his family, while a minute to the doctor or surgeon may mean the difference be- tween life and death for the patient. Many people have even obtained a col- lege education in their spare minutes. A minute may be small and not seem as much to one who has as yet the greater part of his life before him, but it is the small things that one should watch. Of small bricks is the giant building made. And that reminds me of what the wisest man that this old world has ever pro- duced had to say about the tiny, in- significant ant: "Go to the thou slug- gard; consider her ways and be wise." Size is not everything. Let us consider what can be accomp- lished in a minute. In this modern world of hurry, speed records of four and a half miles a minute are established, and are (Continued on page four) ARMISTICE DAY PROGRAM GIVEN G. W. Habenicht Declares Peace Not Victory the Reason for Annual Celebration ORATION DELIVERED Program Continues with Patriotic Read- ings, Duet, and Selections By the Engel Trio An interesting Armistice day program was given in chapel Wednseday. Pro- fessor Habenicht, in his talk, asked the student body to ask themselves what Armistice day really meant to them, and why we celebrate it as we do. He went on to say that much oratory would be used in exalting our country. He said that some would speak of our great navy, some of our great army, and most of them would exalt our nation above all others. He pointed out the danger of an intense nationalism resulting from this and the misunderstandings between na- ions and ultimate war that might re- sult. He said that this celebration should mean more to us than the mere waving of flags. "To many homes," he said, "it is only a reminder of their sons who are sleeping in France." He added that we should put forth all efforts for peace, because this is a celebration, not of vic- tory, but of peace. Miss Fullerton gave a musical reading entitled "The Story of Old Glory, The Flag we Love." She was accompanied by Miss Ruth Johnson. Mr. Preston then gave Senator Bruce's oration, "Armistice Day." Mr. and Mrs. Canis Lauda sang as a duet, - Keep the Home Fires Burning," after which Miss Elinore Hahn read, "In Flanders Field." The Engel Trio played a group of patriotic selections, the last being "Amer- ica" in which the student body joined in singing. PROGRAMS ARE GIVEN Reformatory, Orthopedic, and Poor Farm Visited Sabbath Donald Hay played his saw at the Reformatory Thursday evening. Walter Howe spoke on "The Love of Christ." Mildred Priest took charge of the group who went to the Orthopedic hospi- tal. The program consisted of a trombone solo by Roger Runck and stories by Phylura Nagel and Marvin Meeker. Idamae Nelson and her group went to the poor farm in Jack Christianson's car. Harold Lincoln told a story and Clyde Bushnell and Vernon Becker played se- veral saxophones duets. On the return trip their car met another in a head-on collision. The occupants were jarred and bruised, one receiving a cut, but no one was seriously injured. It is said that the car was badly damaged. DR. REINMUTH SHOWS VALUE OF PAPYRUS Discusses in S. S. Importance and Influence upon the New Testament After all joined in singing "I've Found a Friend," Dr. 0. W. Reinmuth of the Classics Department of the University of Nebraska gave an interesting account of the papyrus plant and its use in Old Egypt. "The Christian, like a sun glass which gathers the rays of the sun and focuses them to a central point, gathers truth and knowledge and focuses them upon Christ and the Bible," he said. He explained how papyrus was made into paper from the pith of the papyrus plant which is similar to our oleander plant. This was the type of paper used by Paul. Large amounts of it are found in the rubbish heaps of Egypt, as it was used for every writing purpose from the legal documents of the state down to love letters. These papyri have thrown important light upon the New Testment in three different ways. They have an illuminat- ing influence upon the language, they are a means of forming correct literary im- pressions of the Bible, and they give one an idea of the customs and habits of the people. By comparing the language of the New Testament with these papyri, it has been found to be very rich but at the same time so simple that it is within the comprehension of all. The study of these old papyrus records has given new meaning to words and ex- pressions. In closing, he stated that more investi- gations are being made and that a new flood of light will come upon the teach- ings of Jesus from the study of the papyri. Disagreeable weather with a steady down-pour of rain and an after-examina- tion-week-weariness did not prevent the loyal Unionite from attending Sabbath School last Sabbath. In fact, from past experience they know that by missing the interesting Sabbath school programs put on by the Sabbath School depart- ment, they are missing a real treat. To induce earliness, the special music, which consisted of a beautiful piano solo by Professor Jorgensen, was given near the opening of Sabbath School. Mr. Fred Lee asked the Lord's blessing upon the Sabbath School. According to Mr. Whitsett's report, the girls are leading the boys in perfect records by a small percentage, the girls receiving 81 per cent and the boys 78 per cent. The names of Mrs. Oss, Dr. Dick, and Miss Broderson graced the silver airship indicating their perfect re- cords for the week provious. Bible Reading Given In Spanish Home in Lincoln Two Bible studies were given in Lin- coln Sabbath afternoon by young wo- men of the Gospel Workers' seminar. Ellen Swayze and Sophia Van Buskirk conducted their usual study with an old colored lady, their subject being "Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane." The second study was given by Bes- sie McCumsey in a Spanish home. In response to questions asked at the last meeting, Miss McCumsey conducted a study in the Spanish language on "The Four Great Monarchies." The husband of one woman, who at- tended the study a week ago for the first time, still showed great interest, especially because he has had few opportunities of studying the Bible with some one who speaks his own language. The fulfillment of the prophecies concerning the change of the Sabbath will be presented at the next meeting. Patronize the Clock Tower advertisers. Reformer Urges Less of "I" in Conversation By A. REFORMER They say that an honest confession is good for the soul, so here goes. I humbly confess that I am guilty of the almost universal sin of talking shop! If there's anything that bores me it is hearing the other fellow talk about his school, his teachers, his family, his state, his home, his grades, he (he., rather) weight, and so on far, far into the night. I'm interested, of course, in the things which interest my friends, but to hear it morning, noon, and night is too much. I love to talk, and perhaps the reason I hate to listen to others is that I can't talk when they talk. Of course, I'm sure no one is ever bored when I talk, but . . .

"I think," he said, "that the value of mathematics should be the same as that of the value of music—not to earn bread and butter with, but to live better with." This year for the first time he is teach- ing algebra the way he has always want- ed to teach it. If the experiment is suc- cessful he will probably continue to teach algebra aesthetically. Our textbook is written from a stand- point that differs considerably from that of most of the books on algebra of the present day.

BY President Andreasen If we admit that religion is a vital force for good in a man's life and that there are abiding values in Christianity, it seems to me that a church college not merely justifies its existence but that its elimination would constitute an irrepar- able loss. The church throughout history has been the teacher and guardian of spirit- ual values. In the ages when men had little regard for the higher and finer aspects of life, when coarseness, brutality and injustice reigned supreme, a voice was heard calling them in no uncertain tones to a consideration of higher things. Men were taught that they had souls, that there was a supreme Judge of the universe to whom they would have to gave an account, that the lowliest as well as the highest were made in the image of God and must not be trampled under foot, and that even kings would be held accountable for their deeds. That voice was heard. Gradually a new order of things emerged, a new era dawned, a new evaluation of the worth of men prevailed. The church had spoken. Men heard and obeyed, and modern civiliza- tion resulted. The church still has a message. Edu- cation, culture, philosophy, are no ade- quate substitutes for religion. They may minister to the physical and the intel- lectual side of man, but they leave un- touched those mighty spiritual forces that Disturbances in the Manchurian region still continue with the possibilities of a serious conflict between the nations of China and Japan. Rumors of Russian interference are heard also. To add to the confusion civil war was renewed between rival generals in China. Much bombardment has taken place in the districts of Tientsin, China. American troops were called out to patrol American districts. In the Mukden section an in- dependent provisional government favor- able to Japan was installed in the presence of Japanese officials. In Peiping, martial law has been declared. Throughout the week much intermittent fighting has taken place. It is believed to be a prelude to a large scale battle. In the meantime, Japan has announced that Henry Pu Yi, "boy emperor" will be proclaimed emperor of Manchuria. He has been living under Japanese protection, and he is being criticised as being a puppet of the Tokyo government. President Hoover will ask Congress next month to approve a $1,800,000,000 home financing program designed to revitalize the home building industry and to keep foreclosure from the American doorstep. Fog, sleet, and snow covered much of the middlewest as dropping temperatures heralded a return of winter. have guided man in the past and nerved him to heroic endeavor. Physical education must not be neg- lected, nor, of course, must the intellect- ual. There are heights as yet undreamed of to which the student of today may attain. No hindrance should be put in his way, but every facility should be afforded him. But there are serious questions that confront every educator who understands the prevailing trends in education. Is it perfectly safe to entrust the youth of today with tremendous potentialities in knowledge and power for good and evil and not balance that knowledge by a trained conscience and a tested char- acter to insure their legitimate use? Is there not a possibility that in- creased knowledge may not be an un- mixed blessing directed into right chan- nels? In Loeb and Leopold we have ex- amples of cunning without conscience. In Lindbergh we have an example of trained ability plus character. The dif- ference is immeasurable. It is my firm belief that the education of the spiritual man must keep pace with that of the intellectual if a proper balance is to be preserved. The trem- endous advance in all kinds of knowledge today may mean the undoing of civiliz- ation itself unless accompanied by, and made subservient to, higher ideals of (Continued on page three) Storms at sea, floods and landslides threatened the Panama canal zone the first part of the week.

With the outcome of the Indian round- table conference in which Mahatma Gandhi is involved apparently a complete failure, an eleventh hour effort to prevent it from going on the rocks was made in London when it was suggested that Prime Minister MacDonald arbitrate the troublesome communal problem which has prevented agreement on an Indian constitution between the Moslems, Hin- dus, and Sikhs. The Rocky mountain region had its first real taste of winter with cold winds, snow and rain prevalent throughout the area. PHILOMATHIAN CLUB S. H. BOYS GIVE ANNUAL PROGRAM Musical Program Given at First Gather- ing; Bach and Mozart Discussed The Philomathian Society gave its first program at 9:35 Tuesday in room 201, under the leadership of the president, Evelyn Baer. Aletha Holmes, the first speaker, gave a brief history of music. Her talk was followed by a piano solo by Lucile Kir- stein. The lives of the great composers Bach and Mozart were discussed by Elmer Ippisch and Henry Sonnenberg. Two musical numbers completed the pro- gram. "In The Garden of Tomorrow" was the song which was sung by Buford Black. Helmut Wakeham played a violin solo as the closing number. This society has existed for several years, and its purpose is to foster school spirit. lleterogeneosity in Ubiquity' In- cludes Miscellaneous Selections And Patriotic Sketch WAR SCENES SHOWN In "America Remembers" Boys Present Typical World War Days at Home And Barracks in France BY A GIRL "Heterogeneosity in Ubiquity," was given Saturday night in a manner to meet the expectations of everyone who has been acquainted with former South hall programs. Walter Howe introduced Dean Kime to the Union audience for the first time the dean has been formally presented. Mr. Kime welcomed the audience and presented his men and their program. The curtains parted, revealing a smart nine-piece orchestra shining in white shirts, informally open at the throat, and dark trousers. Wallace Nethery, first vio- linist, presented his orchestra in a series of pieces, some of which are familiar and well-liked. Howard Johnson, tenor, ap- peared in "Once in May" and sang with the orchestra. The other members were Robert Heine, violin; Dean Kime, drums; George Thorn- ton, clarinet; Vernon Becker, saxophone; Roger Runck, trombone; Delbert George, cornet; and Clyde Bushnell, piano. Ernest Baker, C. J. Dart and Joe Corri- gan, followed by Vernon Becker, had parts in the next three representations, and each not only did his part well, but really performed in a masterful way. (Continued on page two) CHRIST'S LIFE BEFORE DISCIPLES PERFECT Pres. Andreasen Presents Saviour As Example of Right Living Throughout Life "I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it," was the text used by President Andreasen in his sermon Sabbath morning. Continu- ing, he said: 'It is Christ speaking. He had come to a crisis in His life, and in some respects the greatest crisis. He had been with His own for some time, but they had not as yet committed themselves as to what they really thought of Him, and He had not revealed Himself. Christ had selected twelve. He had been witri them for some time, some years—in fact, more than two at this time. They had seen Him under all conditions, not merely when He spoke to the multitude as their Teacher, but also after the service when He had gone home with them. "He had selected twelve, and with those men He lived. With them He slept. With them He ate. By this time they were quite well acquainted with Him. It is one thing to be a public teacher and stand before the multitude and have the power that Christ had in preaching, in healing, and in teaching. It is one thing, I say, to stand in that position; another one to live from day to day with men—common. ordinary men, indeed, but yet men that were watching every step He took and every word He said. "Christ had come from Heaven, but he did not proclaim Himself immediately as the Christ. Rather, as in this same chap- ter, 'then charged He His disciples, that they should tell no man that He was the Christ.' That seems a very strange re- quest, for ordinarily I would think that He would tell them, 'Go and tell every one that I am the Christ.' 'Don't tell any one'—that is the message. He had chosen another way of revealing Him- self, and He chose, I think, the hardest way, and yet doubtless the best. These twelve were with Him, and they saw Him under all conditions and circum- stances. It is hard for a man to be a hero to his servant or to his friends and those that know him well, and it was no small task that Christ had given to Himself when He decided to live with these twelve and not tell them that He was the Christ in that many words, but to let hem judge from what they saw until they became thoroughly and profoundly convinced of 'His divinity. "Now Christ had been with them a long time. He had never asked that ques- tion of them before, but now He asked the question that He had wanted to ask a long while, 'What do you think of me?' He wanted to know now their reac- tions to His life. Had Christ made good? If He failed with those that were near to Him, the failure would indeed be fatal. So as He thinks the time has come, He asks them first in a rather roundabout way, 'Whom do men say that I, the Son of man (not the Son of God) am?' And they said, 'Some say, that thou art John the Baptist; some, Elias, and others, Jere- miah, or one of the prophets.' He said unto them, 'But whom say ye that I am?' Now, on the answer to this - question much will hang. Had He now by His life convinced them that He was come from God? And Simon Peter answered and said, "Thou are the Christ, the Son of the living God.' Jesus answered, 'Blessed are thou, Simon Barjona; for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee.' Those were the words that Christ wanted to hear. Now He would build His church." President Andreasen continued his dis-. cussion by reading John 1:3, 4: -An things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life; and the life was (Continued on page three) CHRIST IS SUBJECT OF SEMINAR TALKS Henry Preston and Ernest Hansen Give the Evening's Sermonettes BY LUCILLE FLEMING The Gospel Workers' seminar opened Friday evening with the song, "It's Just Like His Great Love. - After Mr. Meeker offered prayer James Gaitens spoke of the program that was given a week ago. He said that working with children was a great pleasure. Mr. Barclay sang a solo, "My Task," and was accompanied by Howard Johnson. Henry Preston, the first speaker, said, "I think the question comes to all, 'What does the Bible mean when it says Christ is the Son of God?" He cited several Scriptures to answer his question. Christ's early training and education was through heavenly sources and experiences. "I be- lieve Jesus studied," Mr. Preston said. In relating the experiences of Jesus while being tempted, Mr. Preston stressed the element of faith in His life concern- ing his going without food for forty days, trusting in God for strength. - Isn't that a wonderful example of faith? Jesus met all the temptations with 'it is written'." "The experience of the mount of trans- figuration was another proof of his di- vinity," Mr. Preston said. "That was a blessed experience for Peter and John. During the week of prayer we get a glimpse of the mount of transfiguration. Even nature testifies to the divinity of Christ. While Christ hung on the cross the land was covered with darkness and the earth quaked." Ernest Hanson's subject was "The Death, Resurrection, and Priesthood of Jesus." He gave his impressions of each of these events in Christ's life. Mr. Hanson told of an experience his father had. He said his father had a friend who was an infidel. When this friend was on his death-bed he called for Mr. Hanson to pray for him, reveal- ing the fact that without Christ there is no hope. After the congregation sang "My Only Hope," James Gaitens dismissed the meeting with prayer. Girls' Swimming Class Entertain in Spread Room Some of the girls of the advanced swimming class celebrated the close of the class work with a party in the spread room Wednesday after class. The girls had as special guests Miss Ruth Kerr and Miss Louise Westover of The Lincoln Red Cross, who have been giv- ing some Life Saving tests and instruc- tions, and Mrs. Woten, the swimming in- structor. Those present from the class were Lorna Miller, Glora Bruce, Mar- guerite Clark, Alice Eberlein, Georgia Smith, Helen Hanhardt and Georgianna Payne.

EDUCATION BY THE YARD According to Dean Seashore of the University of Iowa, the average American college is like an ox-cart, a covered wagon, a day-coach, a Pullman express, and an airplane coupled together behind one engine. The engine is the unhappy professor trying to pull along an assortment of students who are built to go at varying speeds. That means that the quick and the slow, the extrovert and the introvert, the doer and the dreamer, the motor-minded and the abstract-minded are all subject to the same operation. Indeed, it is too often true that college graduates are simply the result of a four year's milling process, during which time they have all passed along the same tables, been chopped up by the same academic knives, seasoned with the same intellectual seasoning, and thrust into the same cultural skins. But the difficulty is not altogether with an educational system that has scarcely adjusted itself to new conditions. The average student seems to be intensly satisfied with the idea of becoming another cog in the machine. He sits plastic, confidently expecting to be coaxed, threatened, or kneeded into some agreeable pattern. He is disgusted—and so are his parents—if the frantic teachers can't mould him according to order, for was he not planning on beina a social light, the owner of a stiff shirt-front? It is doubtless true that there are thousands of students in colleges who have no business there, and certainly there are thous- ands who should be in college but are not. It is too expensive and too wasteful a process to carry on this way; and the country recogn- izes the fact, but has found no solution. May it not be that Union College, with her sister schools, has made, and will continue to make, a definite contribution to the solving of a national problem. G. H. M.

No moment spent by him alone Could bring mem'ries to cheer. His life was but a misery, Of friends there ne'er was one. He hated men, he hated self, And friendships he would spurn. No hope for him, no way of light To cheer the passing days; No mother's love, no mother's care, To help him mend his ways. Life was not always thus for him; He once had faith in God. But Satan in his tricky way Took him from the path he trod. How often as he sat alone, And mourned for things gone past, He wondered if there was a chance To get to heaven at last. Then came a day when he did see That Christ had not forsaken, When through His Holy Spirit He Would heal the faith so shaken. With joyful heart he knelt to pray That his sins might be forgiven, That he, lost sheep, again would have A chance to enter heaven. There was a man who had no God. But now his hope's revived. He won forgiveness for his sins Through Christ the Crucified. As we sail upon the sea of life, as it were, the sea will sometimes become tempestuous, seemingly our ship will IX overturned. When this strategic point conies in our lives, we should remember that if we are faithful in doing our part in God's service, the sea will become calm, and we will sail through to suc- cess, and in the end have a safe anchor- age in the Kingdom of God.

Though Thomas A. Edison's light has gone out, yet its rays continue to be transmitted. Every incandescent light is a memorial to him. Every radio, phonograph and sound picture is a monument of his creative genius. Eight-four years ago on Feb. 11, Edison was born in Milan, Ohio. His early education was the work of inspiring parents. His at- titude of inquiry early displayed the scientist he became. So went the crowded life of the "wizard." Now though he is gone, he still survives in the mysterious powers he has claimed. Truly a hero has passed. —The Sligonian. Do you thing it a sin to be hap- py? Do you think it unnecessary to smile? Did you never stop to realize that optimism is one of the greatest factors in the struggle to gain that elusive creature called Success? If you pass the test in these questions, show that you believe in the word "smile." Remember that "it is comely fashion to be glad" and that a smile is worth several times its face value. "You can smile when you can't say a word. You can smile when you cannot be heard. You can smile when it's gloomy or fair, You can smile anytime, any- where." So SMILE! —The Lancastrian.

Art on the Rack-- The Dilettante Held Responsible BY HAZEL BREBNER Maybe this is the age of the specialist. At least I have been told that it is. But if this is once the age of the special- ist, it is three times the age of the di- lettante. There are so many people try- ing to be specialists that they can't all succeed. If they did there would be nothing "special" about it. In this game of being a specialist a lot of people go in for the try-out, but very few make the finals. The many who try to become extraordinary but turn out to be incur- ably ordinary form a group which Mr. Pope might easily have had in mind, though he probably didn't, when he made that speech about a little learning being a big risk. And in nothing is this more tragically true than in the arts. Back in the days of Raphael the stable boy was satisfied to scrawl the caricature of his boss on the barn door. Nowadays he hangs it beside the twelve apostles and the Angelus and hires a sleek-haired- youtig phonograph to tell gape-mouthed visitors that this is the very latest in French art. And in case anyone has the temeritty to ask what it is a picture of, he is to reply that that is realy quite negligible, that what one wants to appre- ciate is that the artist is expressing a won- derful "idea." This is probably the same principle on which some singers sing but one song to every tune, "the song with- out words," as far as the listener is concerned. Then there is the would-be poet, who breaks into rhythm every time something unimportant happens. If there is a re- union he regales those present with stan- zas of sob-stuff about the days beyond recall. If a campaign is launched, it just couldn't succeed without his martial mea- sures "marching as to war." But the pseudo-artist, of whatever var- iety he be, is at his worst if he chooses to victimize religion. For every occasion he conceives and brings forth a fresh brain-child, equips him with a familiar and dignified hymn-tune in lieu of a little red wagon, and sends him forth to con- quer the world, the flesh, and the devil. Not that genuine art has no place in re- ligious exercises; there is no place where it is so appropriate. But the dilettante who makes sacred things ridiculous by the - strange fire" of ignorant and unre- strained attempts to be clever ought to be looking for a safe place in case the earth should attempt to swallow him in the same gulp with Korah and his pre- sumptious companions. The education of the masses is prob- ably a good thing. It would be an in- finitely better thing if it could actually be accomplished. Even at that, back in the days, as Kipling has it, "when 'Omer smote 'is bloomin' lyre," it must have been some comfort to the old bard to know that every little bob-haired steno- grapher wasn't vocalizing out the back windows of her apartment after office hours, and fooling the public into think- ing she was one of his most dangerous competitors.

LOPP Dental Surgeon 203-4 Hornung Building Opposite South Hall Good Programs Are Heard Over North Hall Radio By FONDA CAMBELL W-h-a-t? ''You won't listen to the ra- dio?" There isn't anything worth listen- ing to?" Well, it may sound a little emphatic, but I will say that I fear you are mistaken this time. Have you listened to such programs as "Cheerio," "Mont- gomery Ward and Company," "Hi-lo :.Angers on Bissell Pick-ups, - - Organ Melodies," "Salt Lake City Tabern • de Choir," or "Atwater-Kent Hour"? These are just a few of the fine programs you can hear from the National Broadcast- ing company studios. There isn't enough space here to tell all about each one of these programs, but I will discuss one feature for you. In North hall there are at least three girls who under any ordinary circum- stances will not miss the Montgomery Ward program, or - Beautiful Thoughts," as it is better known. This program can be heard each morning at 8:30 C. S. T. There are other girls who can't hear all of the program every day, but they run into the parlor for just a few minutes as often as they can do so. One girl can be seen three times a week running as fast as she can to go from the college building after a first period class to North hall, so she will not miss much of the program. The part of the program which always interests me is a poem which is read each day: Beautiful thoughts! They come and go Like tides of oceans that ebb and flow. They take us back to childhood hours, They bring a breath of perfumed flowers, Through quiet lanes they take us in a restful dream; They take things that are and leave things as they seem. Sad thoughts are many and bright thoughts are few, Beautiful thoughts come softly through. Beautiful thoughts! They come and go Like tides of oceans that ebb and flow. They bring a memory, a smile or tears, They take us back to childhood years. They bring again to us the dreams of long ago, In fancy we can hear the songs we used to know. When our hearts were young and our love was new. Beautiful thoughts come softly through. Gene and Chuckly always sing an old and favorite hymn, which is followed by short poems or verses of interest to the common folk. Irma Glenn never fails to give her listeners a well-known organ selection, such as "Trees, - - Gypsy Sweet Heart." "Roses of Picardy," and "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling." But even though all the program is very interesting, a very good song is always used to close the program: This is my prayer, help me to share Somebody's sorrow, somebody's care Where e'er I stray, dear Lord, I pray Let me help someone just for today. Patronize the Clock Tower advertisers WHY MAINTAIN A CHURCH COLLEGE? (Continued from page one) life. Destructive forces, unthought of a few years ago, are now gathering and are put under the control of comparative- ly few men who have the destiny of the world in their hands. Is it safe with them? Are they guided by principles of right and justice, or are they unscrup- lous and designing? With many the old principles of religion are made light of, holiness and virtue are laughed out of court, age-long restraints are broken, and men and women are plunging headlong into a continual round of excitement that confuses moral values and leaves them uncertain as to right and wrong. In the midst of such a world the church college has a definite function. It does not neglect the physical, it does not ne- glect the intellectual, and it places s. proper and just stress on the spiritual. Its aim is to prepare men and women for a place of usefulness in this life, to en- dow them with power and purpose, and to balance and guide these powers and purposes by a clear insight into eternal realities and an appreciation of the re- sponsibilities such knowledge gives. The hidden forces of the inner man—those forces that made Moses, and Paul, and Savonarola, and Luther what they were, that gave to the world the prophets of old, and that produced the New Testa- ment and the Christian code of ethics— these forces the church college does not feel it can neglect. And if the church college should do nothing else than stress these principles and call them anew to the attention of mankind it would abund- antly justify its existence.

OWEN RELATES GIRLHOOD INCIDENT Congressman and Orator Influencial on National Legislature BY GLADYS MUNN Ruth Bryan Owen, Congressman and orator from Florida, arrived in Lincoln Saturday morning, November the fifth. She stayed at the home of Mrs. Gavin, a childhood friend, and in the evening appeared in the Union College chapel, where she addressed a large audience. "Yes, I think it is so interesting that when we all learn to write we learn to do it so differently," she said after her lecture, when a crowd gathered about her, and some of the co-eds requested her autograph on the backs of their lyceum tickets. Several acquaintances of the Bryans were grouped around her to identify themselves; many had come up to express their appreciation of her words; and still others lingered near only to hear and to observe her as she so graciously acknowledged everyone's in- terest in her. To the question, "Can you think of some interesting incident which occurred during your life here in Lincoln?" Mrs. Owen smiled thoughtfully and repeated the words, "some interesting incident." Then she told how when she was a little girl going to school here, she frequently found herself about to be late to an eight o'clock class. On such mornings she would come running down the hill where she lived, hill opposite our own college, eating a bowl of milk as she ran. She would place the bowl and spoon under a certain spot in the sidewalk and get them again in the evening on her re- turn from school. Mrs. Owen just can't keep from talk- ing about women's progress in public leadership and influence. She says there are now six women in congress who are all on major committees. Mrs. Kahn is on the committee of military affairs. Mrs. Pratt is working with banking and cur- rency. Mrs. Norton is mayor of the Dis- trict of Columbia. Another Mrs. Norton is on a committee of veteran legislation and foreign affairs. Mrs. Wings is a new member, and Mrs. Owen was not sure of her duty. Then Mrs. Owen herself is there representing Florida and broad- ening the Home and Child work. Representative Owen probably has as much influence on legislation at the capi- tal as any congressman ever had. She achieved much in legislation against the fruit fly and for the disaster relief and protection from flood in Florida. She also appeared as her own attorney in the case brought against her by an op- ponent who declared she was not a citizen of the United States because of her mar- riage to a Briton. Of course it was un- animously decided that she was qualified for her seat in congress. Her work has been so successful because of her origi- nal ideas, such as those of entertaining the "best citizens" and "reporting back" personally with an auto-trailer each re- cess, that no opponent rose against her in the last election. She is the first wo- man sent abroad by the government to the Inter-Parliamentary union. Now she is striving to establish a cabinet chair of Home and Child, which will have a woman as secretary. She is eloquent as an orator. Her suc- cess lies in the fact that she sees the world with ripened judgment, and at the same time sees it with youthful enthusi- asm. She has worked out her own tech- nique carefully and says her ability as a speaker is not due to heredity, because she has suffered all the pain of an ama- teur. Not only is Mrs. Owen interested in oratory and legislation, but she is also fond of sports. She has played in many garrison polo matches in far places dur- ing her romance with her late husband, Major Reginald Owen. Of her trip abroad last summer she says, "The most delightful association with people comes when you are using the river for the morning face wash and the woods for a living room." Dr. Hamilton Holt said of her, in conferring on her the degree of Doc- tor of Laws, at Rollins college, "Good daughter of a good father, mistress of the spoken word, stateswoman of both achievement and promise, for your wo- manly service in a world crisis brought on by man's obstinancy, ignorance, and folly, for your high conception of public duty, and for your many services to your state and nation, Rollins college confers on you the degree of Doctor of Laws." The Grand Rapids Herald has said, "She has grace, charm, and magnetism. She is always a woman, but she is al- ways a match for mere man." REPORTS MADE ON BOOKS Alice Davis gave a report Monday, at the English IV class period on tthe book Adrift on art Ice Pan by Dr. Wil- fred Grenfell.

THE CLOCK TOWER PAGE THREE SOUTH HALL BOYS GIVE ANNUAL PROGRAM (Continued from page one) Howard Johnson sang - Song of Songs, - by Mora, He was accompanied by Chester Barger. A quartet composed of Donald Hay, first tenor; Robert Brown, second tenor; Harry Craig, bari- tone; Robert Heine, bass, sang two num- bers, "Can't Yo' Hear Me Callin'?" and "Kentucky Babe. - They were accompa- nied by Clyde Bushnell. Part It of "Heterogeneosity in Ubi- quity" stirred the patriotism of the audi- ence. "America Remembers," under the direction of Ivamae Small-Hilts, was a realistic representation of the days of thir- teen years ago. The first scene, set in the Sprague home in April, 1917, showed the atti- tude of the typical American youth at the declaration of the Great War. Mrs. Sprague (Mrs. Kime) and Mr. Sprague (Harry Rodell) were shocked to find their oldest son, Jack (Ted Spanos), off at the first call for volunteers, and Don (Robert Whitsett) scarcely unable to wait till he was old enough to go. Scenes two to four were set in the officers' barracks in France. Jack Sprague and his chums who had enlisted together —Bill Wright (Harry Craig), Ralph Boardman (David Olson), George Baker (Louis Pettis), Theodore Wilson (Monte Cheney), and Barney Kelley (Earl Reimche)—depicted barracks on gloomy "off" days. In one scene Barney and Ted brought two German prisoners, Ot- to Lutz and Clyde Bushnell, by permis- sion of Captain Ferguson (Marshall Rockwell), and taught them to sing "Till We Meet Again" in their broken Eng- lish and to give the American salute. This incident was a vivid revelation of the tragedy of men who could sing to- gether as friends being sent out to war against each other. The closing scene brought the boys to the Sprague home again in a joyful meeting, but saddened by the absence of young Don who had gone so bravely and enthusiastically to the support of his country and had never come back. The program ended in a brilliant flour- ish. While the orchestra played "Stars and Stripes Forever," from opposite sides of the stage Robert Whitsett, dressed in a marine uniform, and Cleo Smith, dress- ed in a sailor's uniform, briskly marched to the center of the stage and presented arms, while Marshall Rockwell, army captain, stepped from the darkness be- tween the curtains and saluted. It was a touching end to the men's program. Only enthusiastic remarks have been heard. It is generally felt that the young men are to be congratulated on their success under such odds. Conflicting campaigns together with mid-semester ex- aminations and rain have combined to show the public what the South hall men are made of. 0 CHRIST'S LIFE BEFORE DISCIPLES PERFECT (Continued from page one) the light of men." The speaker continued, "And it was through His life that He convinced them of His truthfulness and of His divinity. It was a slow process. He could doubtless have proclaimed Him- self the Christ. He could have used a little of His divine power, and men would have flocked to Him by the thousands and hundreds of thousands. He chose the way of living with twelve men and con- vincing them first of all that He lived up to what He preached. "Christ never failed in one point. He convinced them, I repeat, through His life that He was the Christ. Now, the life is the light, and I rather think that is true of this people and of anyone. There is no use to be an Adventist and not pay your bills. There is no use to pro- fess Christianity and be cranky and mean and ugly and bitter. There is no use to belong to the church and have jealousy in your heart. That will not do. The life is the light, and the light ought to be a clear and shining and bright light, that men may see your good works and glori- fy your Father which is in heaven. "Christ had now convinced His own and had now sent them forth to preach that which they had learned. He says, 'Now I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.' I am glad that Christ is doing the build- ing. I do not know what I would do it I were in God's place and had to build a church that, when it was done, would be without spot or blemish or any such thing. I would wonder where I would get the material. God will build a church. When it is done it will be all right. Without holiness no man shall see the Lord. God would have a perfect church. What will God do? He is building His church, and He will have to build it out of such material as He has, and He is doing His best and is using us and working with us. I think I would have been tired long before this if I were God. I can be glad, and you can, that God is God and that He is merci- ful and long-suffering and that at last He will have a church without spot or blemish." President Andreasen illustrated the ad- vancing requirements of the needs of the church of God by an actual building, in the walls of which may sometimes be used broken bricks, which strengthen the structure though not showing very much. Surface brick must be finished on one side; the corner is finished on two sides; and a pillar must be finished all around. He continued: "God is asking more and more of His people as the light advances, and God has now come to the time when He is looking for a people that will re- flect His image fully." CHURCHES VISITED At First Trip to Tekamah Speakers Are Invited to Return Vernie Swan took Bill Barclay and Pastor House to Tekamah. This was the first visit paid this church. They were urged to come back each week. Mr. Barclay spoke on the five kingdoms of Daniel 2. Ralph Cash, accompanied by Calvin Gordon, Chester Barger, and Harry Craig, went to Fremont Sabbath after- noon. Mr. Cash spoke and the quartet sang two numbers. At 5 o'clock vesper service was held. Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Dunn and Clin- ton von Pohle had charge of the serv- ices at Beatrice. Mr. Dunn spoke on John 3:1-6, his subject being, "Gaining and Keeping a New Experience." Henry Preston and Daniel McAdams report that the Fairbury church has reached its Harvest Ingathering goal and has eleven dollars over. They are work- ing on the investment fund and are going to do their best on the week of sacri- fice. Mr. McAdams spoke on the Second Coining of Christ. Walter Howe, who went to Nebraska City, spoke on the spiritual condition of the churches today. "Knowledge is of two kinds: we know a thing ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it."—Johnson.

MATHEMATICS IS AESTHETIC (Continued from page one) other fine arts. He has frequently urged that the argument for keeping it in a prescribed course be not based at all on either utility nor a supposed unusual value for logic, but on its training of the intuition and for its aesthetic value." J. W. Young has said, "Mathematics has beauties of its own—a symmetry and proportion in its results, a lack of superfluity, an exact adoption of means to an end, which is exceedingly re- markable and to be found elsewhere only in the work of the greatest beauty. It was a felicitous expression of Geothe's to call a noble cathedral 'frozen music,' but it might even better be called 'petri- fied mathematics.' The beauties of mathe- matics—of simplicity, of symmetry, of completeness—can and should be exem- plified even to young children. When this subject is properly and concretely presented, the mental emotion should be that of enjoyment of beauty, not that of repulsion from the ugly and unpleas- ant. - Surely our class in algebra is a most interesting one. The bell for dismissal always rings too soon. Some one in the class was heard saying that he wished the class period could be twice as long.

PRUETT'S Sanitary Barber Shop Perhaps the best known hymn tune used in English speaking countries today is the one which goes under the name of "Old 100th," and is used by most churches for the singing of the Doxology. This stately tune is first met with in the Genevan Psalter issued by Calvin in Geneva for the Reformed church there in 1542. Early in the 16th century, a poet of the French court, Clement Marot ,took to paraphrasing the Psalms in the French tongue. These versifications became very popular, and before long the French Hu- guenots began to make use of them in their religious meetings. Marot was soon suspected of heresy and had to flee the country. When Calvin was in Strasburg, as an exile, he brought out his first Psalter, using some of Marot's psalms and sup- plementing them with versifications of his own. On returning to Geneva and finding Marot there he persuaded him to con- tinue the work of translating the Psalms into metrical version. Calvin next looked around for someone who could provide melodies for these verses. He would not allow the use of harmonized tunes, as he wished his con- gregation to sing in unison, and he in- sisted that the melodies used should be based on the principle of only one note to a syllable. It has been satisfactorily established that this part of the work was entrusted to Louis Bourgeois, a countryman of Calvin, who had settled in Geneva. Bourgeois did not enjoy working under the restrictions placed upon him, for his work was only to adapt appropriate melodies from those already in existence. ORDER Your Thanksgiving Pies now Drop in Thanksgiving for Dinner Specialties in Confections Mrs. Howell's Sandwich Shop In A. B. A. Block Sometimes Bourgeois broke over these restrictions, for he wished to supply a harmonized version of these tunes, and at times to alter the melodies already in use, and this brought him into trouble with the authorities. "They had a quick and ready method with such musical editors in those days, and he was prompt- ly put in prison, and only released on the intercession of Calvin." None of the tunes of the Genevan Psalter are supposed to be the actual composition of Bourgeois, and in the case of "Old 100th" (which by the way was used to Psalm 134 by the Huguenots,) each of the four lines is found to have been of common occurrence in other melo- dies. In the year 1549, in England, appeared the first edition of the famous Sternhold and Hopkins Psalms, and when, on the accession of Mary, many of the reform- ers fled to the continent, they took with them these Psalms and the tunes written for them, that they might not be de- prived of the pleasures of psalm singing. Refugees from England and Scotland, on coming to Geneva, found others of like faith, and thus became acquainted with the form of service and with the melodies used there; and so they, too, took steps to draw up a form of service which incorporated the use of the psalms in metrical version with tunes brought with them from England and new ones they had learned at Geneva. So in 1558 was published the - Anglo- Genevan Psalter," and with it English psalmody may be said to begin. On the return of the refugees to Eng- land after the death of Mary, they brought their psalter and also some other tunes they had learned while in exile. Among these was the tune now known as "Old 100th." So Strype, the historian, tells how in September, 1559, "began the new morn- ing prayer at St. Antholin's, the bell beginning to ring at five, when a psalm was sung after the Genevan fashion, all the men, women, and boys singing to- gether." In 1562 the first complete edition of the Sternhold and Hopkins version of the psalms was published, called, from the name of the publisher, Day's Psalter. This psalter contained forty-four tunes for the singing of the psalms, and as these tunes are the first ever set to the English metrical version, they are known by the title "Old." The "Old 100th" tune, however, was not included until the harmonized edi- tion of Day's Psalter appeared in the following year, 1563, when it was used for the 100th psalm,—"All people that on earth do dwell." The version of this tune in common use with all notes of equal length, is not its original form, but is a corrupt ver- sion which appeared about the middle of the eighteenth century, and which gained its popularity in comparatively re- cent years. There is also a version in triple time which has been beautifully harmonized by Bach. The words sung by us to "Old 100th" comprise the last verse of Bishop Ken's famous Evening Hymn—"All praise to Thee my God this night." This verse, "Praise God from whom all blessings flow,- and known as the Doxology, is, according to Dr. Benson, "sung by more Christians the world over than any other single English verse in existence." Such tunes as the "Old Hundredth," born in the period of persecution when the protestant church itself was in its very infancy, should be treasured by all true protest- ants as a rich heritage.

HORNUNG'S HARDWARE ACROSS FROM CAMPUS Phone 13 W PAGE FOUR THE CLOCK TOWER "There are two stories . The first concerns a member of my profession, an adver- tising man, who was in the employ of a circus, It was his function to precede the circus into various communities, distribute tickets to the editors, put up on the barns pictures of the bearded lady and the man-eating snakes, and finally to get in touch with the proprietor of some store and persuade him to purchase the space on either side of the elephant for his advertisement in the parade. Coming one day to a crossroad town, our friend found that there was only one store. The proprietor did not receive him enthusiastically. 'Why should I advertise?' he demand- ed. 'I have been here for twenty years. There isn't a man, woman or child around these parts that doesn't know where I am and what I sell.' The advertising man answered very promptly,—and he said to the proprietor, pointing across the street, 'What is that build- ing over there?' The proprietor answered, 'That is the Methodist Episcopal church,' The advertising man said, 'How long has that been there?' The proprietor said, 'Oh, I don't know; seventy-five years probably.' 'And yet," exclaimed the advertising man, 'they ring the church bell every Sunday morning.

A singing group from the Seventh-day Adventist church of College View went to Beatrice Sabbath afternoon. They re- ceived forty dollars for the Harvest In- gathering fund. Friends of Fairy Pettey celebrated her birthday anniversary Sunday evening in the spread room. Those present were Hazel Olsen, Fonda Campbell, Frankie Dearborn, Juanita Paxton, Nora Lank- ford, Esther Sutton, Opal Andrews, and Iva Whitacre. PARTY GIVEN FOR ELSA EMERY Elsa Emery was honored at a party given Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Charles McWilliams. A short program was given which consisted of: Piano Duet, Dorris Kruse and Esther House; Violin solo, Clayoma Engel; Reading, Ada Williams; Vocal solo, Myrna George; Piano solo, Mrs. G. C. George. After the program it was observed that Miss Emery was decidedly nervous. Miss MacElvaine immediately summoned Dr. Happiness, who, in the person of Marie Olson, presented the patient with numer- ous prescriptions for her malady. After Miss Emery had received her gifts, dain- ty refreshments were served. Those who remained after the refreshments had been served spent the time in playing games. Wilmer Stringer and Louis Pettis visit- ed the American history class on Wed nesday. This was part of their college American history assignment. The Week of Prayer for the Seventh- day Adventist church and village will be held during the week of December 12-19. Meetings will be held every evening in the church at 7:30. The dirt roads of College View are being improved. The City of Lincoln Street department has begun this work by doing considerable grading on Pion- eer's boulevard. The Lincoln Gas and Oil corporation will resume work on the oil well, one- half mile south of College View. The well was shut down last spring. Accord- ing to the corporation's president, Mr. Charles Gately, work will begin in the near future. Mrs. Bess Barcus of Curtis, Nebr., has been spending a few days with friends in the village. An informal party was given by Mrs. P. H. McMahon in Mrs. Barcus' honor, Nov. 12. Mrs. George Klement, Mrs. Ralph Rhodes, and Mrs. Anna Wade were guests. MINUTE EVALUATED (Continued from page one) then forgotten by the next day. But to bring it closer home. Much good can be done in a minute. A kindly smile and a word to one who is discouraged, a help- ing hand to the aged or feeble, or a little brightness brought into the sick room, while hardly taking a minute, can cheer and brighten the whole day for those thus helped. But then, much harm can be done in a minute. A cross word to one we love, an impatient action, a hasty, thoughtless speech—all are able to wound so deeply that their trace can never be removed. All too often irreparable dam- age is done in this way. That is the time to stop a minute and think—and then don't do or say it. That is the time to use a minute. How often we have heard such ex- pressions as these used: - Wait a min- ute," or "In a minute." The speakers never think of the meaning of what they say. They do not notice that they are causing valuable time to be lost by those thus forced to wait. They do not know the value of a minute. If they did, they would be more careful when they use such expressions. How many spend a minute alone with God each day? A minute spent in prayer in the early morning will enable one to obtain help from above—help with which to perform the duties and to enjoy the pleasures of the day. A minute spent In prayer will never be regretted, and will bring returns which are in no way com- parable to its size. And so I say: A minute is sixty sec- onds of golden opportunity—let us make the most of it. 0 LESS OF "I" URGES REFORMER (Continued from page one) became the harder I talked, and the long- er I talked the weaker the poor frosh got. Then came a most amazing discovery! The entire one-sided conversation was on the enlightening and elevating subject of what happened to me when I took rhetor- ic. I had told about my excellent themes, my superor grades, my grammar test, my—, my—, my. No wonder the frosh fainted! After this experience I took myself in hand. After much thought and self-anal- ysis, I came to the conclusion that I had become a victim of that deadly disease known as "I" trouble. The disease has developed during a period of years. It dominates my every thought and act. It is most noticeable in my conversation. I really suffer acutely, but not nearly so much as the persons I expose to my "I" expositions. So far as I've been able to discover, the only cure for this malady is forcing the patient to talk about everything but himself. Although this isn't New Year's, I've made a resolution: I'm not going to talk about myself anymore! You unwilling victims, isn't that something to rejoice over? Have you noticed the number of "I's" used here? This is my - I- swan song. I get to use them this time, but never again! Professor R. A. Nesmith is being visit- ed by his mother and older brother from South Dakota. They are on their way to California for the winter, but they plan to spend a few weeks visiting with Mr. Nesmith here in College View. The problem of African slavery was one of the most vital and pressing prob- lems that ever confronted a nation. It divided our country into two sections, with opposing interests, and finally plunged it into a great civil war. Not the least part of bitterness of the South over the negro question, as it has existed, grows out of resentment of the destruc- tion of what was once a relation of warm friendship and tender sympathy. Slavery reduced man, who was created in the image of God, to the common level of a social outcast, a chattel, a beast of burden, or a piece of common property. Modern slavery is said to date from the year 1442, when Captain Gonzalvez landed at Lisbon with ten black people from Africa, and sold them to some of his Christian friends to convert their souls. Our own country was not free from the terrible system, for among the early slave traders in the west were numbered Columbus, Sir Francis Drake, John Paul Jones, and other reputable men. Some of the biggest slave ships that ever plied the Southern seas were built in Puritan New Englaand in the early part of the seventeenth century. But it was that same section of the country that first awoke to the awful curse that slavery was bringing on our land. Such men as John Wesley, George Whitefield, and Judge Samuel Sewell denounced it openly, and the Mason-Dixon line was set over the question of the taxation of slaves. Most of the slaves were gathered from the coasts of Africa. Outlaws would sail on the slave ships and spend their lives inciting native wars, giving presents to the witch doctors so they would con- demn innocent people to a life of slav- ery, causing native chiefs and kings to hold court and to sell their best fol- lowers to the slavers. One of the native kings was so pleased with the guns and gunpowder that were given that he im- mediately sent out a war party and avenged some trifling wrong on a smaller tribe, taking many of them prisoners, and selling them into perpetual slavery. These guns and ammunition, beads, cloth, rum, etc., were made in our own land, and the makers often knew that it was being used to enslave men and women for the benefit of well-respected citizens in America. Kidnapping was also prevalent in Africa as a means of getting slaves. People were ambushed while planting in their gardens, and were bound and sold to the slave captains who were usually waiting with their ships in the harbor. Other methods so horrible that they would be sickening to relate were used to entrap men and women, and make them suffer untold agonies while in trans- it to America, to live a life of degrada- tion and drudgery in our land of the free and the home of the brave. This is one of the reasons why Africa is known yet as the dark continent. The natives are still skeptical of the white man, for their tradition tells them that he is here to do them harm and take them away captive forever. There were many places in Africa known as Slave Factories, during the time when slavery was in existence. The owners of these factories would send men off into the jungles to capture other men and women, and would keep them in these pens until they are ready to be sent away to America. Often there were as high as 500 negroes in one of these pens when the ship would come to bar- gain with the owner for his cargo of human freight. These pens were built of rough poles made of the hardest trees about six inches in diameter, driven five feet into the ground, and clamped to- gether by double rows of iron bars. The entrance to them was guarded by a big cannon, and brutal and merciless men would keep the natives in subjection at all times. After the slave trade was out- lawed, British men-of-war kept a vigilant eye on these places to see that no ship came to carry slaves away. The transportation of slaves from Af- rica and the Guinea Coast to the Western world was known as the "Middle Pas- sage. - The average height of a slave deck was about three feet. Slaves were often kept on these decks for about six months, and never could stand up all that time. There is more mercy shown today to animals which are being taken to the slaughter-house than there was shown to the slaves who were brought to America, from Africa, on the "Middle Passage." Sickness often set in during the passage, and the death rate was ap- palling. On account of the conditions that existed on the ships, as many as one-third of the slaves sometimes died on the way. The cruelty of the slave captains was beyond description. One instance was re- corded in which a slave ship was being chased during the night by a British war- ship. Capture meant years of imprison- ment for the master of the slave vessel, so he chained the slaves to the ship's anchors and ordered them lowered. As the anchor went down, the life of every slave on board was snuffed out, and the warship had to let the slaver go free, for they found no slaves on board. Slave insurrections were common on board, and were generally put down by the free use of ammunition. The leaders were often butchered . alive before the rest of the slaves as a lesson to them. In 1807, England woke up to the aw- fulness of the trade and passed a law prohibiting slavery in her territories. Through her influence, many of the other countries of Europe did away with slav- ery. On the day before Abraham Lincoln was sworn in as president of the United States, Russia freed nearly 3,000,000 slaves (serfs), and gave each one prop- erty that he might earn a living. When our government finally gave the slaves their freedom, it made the greatest ad- vancement that has ever been recorded on the pages of its history. May the spirit that set the captives at liberty at that time continue until that day when all people shall be seen in the same light and with the same respect as by Him who created all men equal. THOUGHTS Blindly we travel The road that is life, Sorrow, toil, and tears— Days of sunshine, nights of storm Up the stairway of the years. While walking along This rough worn road, I learned a lesson I'll never forget— Our few moments of joy are sweeter, Because of our many years of regret. .- -;••>'••K•> 4•:•':":<•Y X•X•X•X:4•; , .X.Y.:':•> , X•>;•::4•>'.:<•:•• .1•>1:<•>•: • • 1P 1211Y ] E :;•;!: z•; K ECHOES OF THE LIVING PAST Sponsored by the History Department of Union College Dr. Everett N.
