III No. 17 COLLEGE VIEW, NEBRASKA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 1929 CRVETION IS KELD {OR SABBATH NOR S. A. WELLMAN IS MAIN SPEAKER The fifth of a series of Sabbath school conventions which are being held in Nebraska, was conducted in the Seventh-day Adventist church, Sabbath, in College View, April 20. The extremely wet weather prevented a number of delegates from the neigh- boring church attending the conven- tion. Elder S. A. Wellman, assistant •Sab- bath school secretary for the General Conference, who has spent twenty-six years in the mission field, opened the convention with a discussion of what it takes to make a real Sabbath school. He outlined four things that help to make a Sabbath - school suc- cessful. There is a vital relation between the home, the church, and the Sabbath school. It takes the three to make a successful Christian. The Sabbath school is the chuech at study, but it takes the home influence to make the successful Sabbath school. The family worship is one of the high- - est influences in the home. If the family worship is neglected in the home, the student lacks interest in Sabbath school. The proper attitude toward the Sabbath school finds its solution iu the home influences. If the father and mother criticise, the children will follow their habit. To win souls to Christ and to build up souls in Christ is the work of the Sabbath school. The first problem to be considered 'was the attendance at Sabbath school. The Home division and the Cradle Roll should not be overlooked in planning the program. A definite effort should be made each week to see the missing members and to invite them to Sabbath school the following week. The daily lesson study was next taken under consideration. It is not merely enough to glance at the lesson, but effort should he made to make the lesson interesting so that all will want to study the lesson. The use of Sabbath School Worker, Little Friend, Instructor, and Picture Rolls—is a very great help in creating and main- taining this interest. Special stress was laid upon daily study. If the Sabbath school has the vision of the needs of the foreign fields, funds will come in for mission work. The Union College Sabbath school put on two demonstrations of Mission pro- grams. Elder Wellman spoke on the [Continued on Page 41 Plans Are Completed for School Picnic May 8 The annual school Picnic will he held Wednesday, May 8, in Epworth park.

D. Rise- ley entertained twenty guests Thurs- day afternoon at a miscellaneous shower given at the . home of Mrs. Riseley, 2235 South street, Lincoln, in honor of Miss Rochelle Philmon, who is to become the bride of Charles Luther Kilgore, South Lancaster, Massachusetts, on May 27. The gifts were delivered by little David McShane, who was dressed as a Western Union messenger boy. The afteinoon was spent informally and re- freshments of cake and ices frozen in the shapes of spring flowers were served. A color scheme of pink and white was carried out in the appoint- ments and the refreshments. The guests were: Miss Rochelle Philmon, Mrs. George Williams, Mrs. H. U. Stevens, Mrs. Charles McWil- liams, Mrs. Ralph Rhoads, Mrs. Han- nah Olson, Mrs. D. Glenn Hilts, Mrs. C. B. Morey, Mrs. W. B. Riseley, Mrs. Charles Williams, Mrs. A. T. McShane, Mrs. F. W. Harris, Mrs. P. J. Morton, Mrs. G. M. Howe, Mrs. A. J. Meikle- john, and the Misses Edith Webster, Estelle Kiehnhoff, Margaret Kies, Les- sie Culpepper, and Helen Wells. NINE-VOLUME ENCYCLOPEDIA PURCHASED FOR CHILDREN The Home and School isssoCialeon held its April meeting last Thursday evening. Mr. Keene made h report for the committee which was appoint- ed to spend the money which has been earned by the bake sale and the chil- dren's dimes. They bought a set of Compton's Picture Encyclopedias. These nine volumes have been in use for some weeks now. The children are becoming very much interested in looking up words in the new books. With the remainder of the money a merry-whirl for the playground has ordered. This is the best and safest playground piece of its kind to be had. The children are anticipating many merry rides before school closes. Mrs. Thompson suggested - that the May meeting of the association he an out-door picnic. Mr. Wakeham, Profes- sor Nesmith and Mrs. H. U. Stevens were appointed as a committee to select the place for the picnic and to plan games for the day. Mrs. Charles McWilliams, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. H. L. Keene, Mrs. G. C. Jorgensen, and Mrs. Charles Marsh are to act as a food committee. After this preliminary business a very interesting program was given. Miss Pearl Rees gave a very instrtic- tive talk on the Development of Our School Homes. It is very - enlightening to go back to the first catalogues of Battle Creek College and see the change in attiude toward students rooming in private homes. It was not many years until the board recognized that the students could be better cared for in school homes than in the vil- lage. Miss Rochelle Philmon spoke on How to Teach Appreciation of Litera- ture. By chdosing our poems •well we can teach the child to see the pie- lures in poems as in Whittier's In School Days. By other poems we may teach him to feel, and by still others, as the last stanza of the Chambered Nautilus, we may give him a taste- of the philosophk in poetry. As he learns to enjoy poems he may be led [Continued on Page 4 Onto Krotz Appears In Senior Violin Recital Assisted by Colic Suing Orchestra Otto Krotz gave his senior violin recital in the college chapel on Satur- day evening, April 20, to an attentive and appreciative audience. The numbers played by Mr. Krotz revealed his ability to handle the many complicated fingerings and bow- ings known only to a violinist. The sustained passages were clear and sweet, and each note of the most rapid runs was distinct. His interpretation of the four parts of Dvorak's "Sonatina" showed care- ful and accurate study, much force in the first movement, a rich singing quality in the Largetto, sparkling life in the Scherzo, and power and joy in the Finale. In the second group the difficult Scherzo by Goeus, and the lovely Ave Maria were followed by Huhay's Heire Kati, one of the most appreciated numbers of the program. The Finale movement, the Concerto by Bruch, was a grand climax to the entire pro- gram, and all listeners were made to realize that so successful a program, as was that of Mr. Krotz, could come only with hours of faithful practice. Much credit should be given to Pro- fessor Carl C. Engel, who has been the Ists,hedetui • e; I"..e'ca; eat Union, as well as to Misst Mary Miller, the accompanist. The string orchestra, which assisted in the program, was composed of three violinists, Professor C. C. Engel, Clayoma Engel, Barbara Chase; viola, Joe Krotz; cello, Bonnie Velhagen; and the accompanist, Mary Miller.

Thompson spoke at the Friday evening service in the college chapel, April 19. He chose for his text the story of Jesus' experience with a certain lawyer who endeavored to entrap Him with the question: "What must I do to be saved?" Here, as always, the answer of Jesus was en- tirely adequate. Jesus never met the arguments of his opponents with the syllogisms with which they were wont to argue. His sayings brushed aside the inconsequen- tial things of life and dealt directly with the vital truths of living. He answered the lawyer's next ques- tion, "Who is my neighbor?" with a story so pointed and so convincing that it left no room for further argu- ment. "It was always thus with Jesus," said President Thompson. "Every per- son with whom He came in contact, every person with whom He talked went on his way thinking more ser- iously because of the conversation with Jesus. "And yet the conversations and the contacts of Jesus were no different Irons our own experiences. We, like Him,' could always turn our conversa- tions to things which are uplifting if we only would. The trouble with many people today is that they are looking for a place in which to he a christian. "The place to be a Christian is where we are. This is the lesson of the Good Samaritan. I he Wa:i in a hos- tile land dealing with a hostile people and 3 -et when Ile sas. - the need lie filled it without thought of personal reward. "A question that each of us must consider is, what would be found if someone were to take a cress section cf our' lives. Would' it find us each day doing sense kind act, or letting fall some word which would make the life of sonic comrade more cbeerful, or lead some friend to Jesus?" YOUNG 'WORN INT CITY OF SD CASA ELSIE BAKER IS CARNIVAL QUEEN From the time when there was read to the assembled members of Kaima Theta a telegram from the mayor and chamber of commerce of 8/t(/ Casa in- viting them to attend in a body the convocation held in their city April 21 until the moment when the Carni- val Queen, Miss Elsie Baker as Miss Union, rose Irons her throne to bid us all goodnight, Open House in South Hall was an immense success. At six-forty Sunday evening Wesley Andress and Ronald Nethery appeared at North Hall as representatives of Sud Casa Chamber of Commerce. They presented Miss Rees with the key to their city and after a formal speech cf welcome, gave each young woman a copy of their city directory so that no one might become lost or miss any points of interest while attending the convention. The perusal of these di- rectories furnished ample entertain- ment until the hour for the convention arrived. When we arrived at .Sari Casa we found that the city had indeed been thrown open to us. We were free to move about and enjoy the sights of the eVe w.'- n and where we pleete0. The broad-shouldered, sniffing policemen moving up and down the streets and giving directions to any who applied for aid were all that reminded us that we were in a strange city. With the help of our detailed directories we saw all the landmarks and points of inter- est. Exclamations were heard on every side commending the good taste, originality, and ingenuity of the citi- zens of our neighbor-city. Every home showed evidence of good care and the city was full of indications that its people had given much thought to our comfort and entertainment. One could not mention any separate feature with- out listing them all, for every moment of our tour of the city was enjoyable. After the thoroughfares and side streets had been thoroughly inspected, we were invited to the City Park (the dining room) where a special carnival had been arranged for our amusement. The City Orchestra furnished music until Miss Baker and her retinue ap- peared. After she had been crowned as Miss. Union by Dean Wilcox, her nod of permission opened the carnival. No work had been spared in creat- ing a colorful and realistic atmos- phere.

Advertising rates furnished on request MANAGEMENT Merrill Smith President Rudolph Johnson Business Manager Harry Carscallen....Asst. Bus. Manager Francis Gregerson..Circulation Manager Ella Johnson Secretary-Treasurer W. P. Hahn Faculty Adviser The other day in Astronomy class, Professor H. K. Schilling made this remark in regard to a question raised which asked for his opinion of the re- lationship of that brilliant display of meteors seen November 13, 1833, to the periodic shower of meteors an- nually seen on that date and their sig- nificance to the second coming of Christ: "One lone meteor that shoots across the sky speaks to me the same language of the sureness of God's guiding hand and his coming as did that band of meteors on that memorial morning." Just what did he mean? I left the classroom pondering over those words and only gradually began to comprehend. The implication of that thought is really a beautiful bit of philosophy, nothing new—only new to my thinking. I believe he meant that we lay too much stress on the unusual and try to decipher great significance from it, when all around it usual, common af- fairs the same eternal truth is spoken. Jesus seems to have accented this trend of thought in His teachings. The Gospels abound in His emphasiz- ing repeatedly the deep significance of the usual and common. The Phari- sees one day asked Him when the . Kingdom would come. They were Aooking for it to come with trumpets, with glamor and with thunder. He 'quietly told them that "it cometh not with observation. Neither shall they say, Lo here! Lo there." He was dis- tcounting, so to speak, the marvelous, and laid stress upon the usual. In His teaching we do not read of eclipses or some other phenomena. We do read of pieces of silver, or parables of sheep. He shows the king- dom in a mustard seed. To Him there was a wonderful sermon in a sparrow. The lilies of the field—no one had eyes for them until he made them preachers of providence. If we had that attitude of mind, I cannot help feeling that life would mean more to us. It is one of our commonest errors to give undue place to the unusual. W if,,re all eyes for the wonders of the 'cataract, but the long quiet reaches of the river we neglect. In everything uncommon there is a power of arrest. It appeals to our emotions, It helps us to break monotony, it touches us with a sweet sense of mys- tery until the appeal of it turns into a craving and the true proportions of noble life are lost. We cannot live well if we have lost this Christ-sense of the usual. It matters little if mira- cles have ceased; the whole universe is a miracle. Th Romans had the fault of stress- ing the unusual. It was the way the birds flew or ate the corn that sent or stopped their legions. They looked for the accidental, the extraordinary. No wonder life became distorted. Rome really perished in the fatal error of never seeing the usual. Elijah looked for God in the whirl- wind, and in a howling storm. The Jews saw God in the lightning that struck the trees of Lebanon, in the sun at Ajalon. Away in the heart of Africa; perhaps tonight a comet or meteor almost drives a savage tribe ,vild--these see God, the supernatural n the unusual. But why not see Him :n the coming of spring? Why not behold Him in all the great laws of nature, in its uniformity, in its great binding force that keeps the stars in ,heir position and tiniest atom apart? If we see this in its fullest light it All he easier and better to live. Life consists of the common days, so we must find the richest meaning in the common. In the usual duties we will find life at its highest, the common messages will become rich and the common tasks kingly. E. F. RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES The real value of a Christian school is its Christian activities and with- out these there would ba 710 excuse for the existence of Union College. Still if the secretary of the Sabbath School's report is of any significance all are not taking advantage of their opportunities for spiritual blessings. Union College offers social activities, intellectual activities, and spiritual activities—all of which are planned to develop a well-rounded character. The one who will be broad-minded should not neglect his religious priv- ileges any more than his studies. These spiritual blessings should not be considered as burdens but as joys. The religious activities are varied enough so as to appeal to every per- son whether it is in band work or young people's meetings. If you would get the most out of your years in college you will take an active part in some line of spirit- ual work. To be interesting one must be interested. To keep spiritual ad- vancement, one must plant spiritual seed. J. R. MY DREAMS dreamed a dream one day when I Was wandering in the field.

UNION COLLEGE TRADITIONS BY HAROLD BABCOCK" Many of us come to Union College and spend three or four years here without realizing the history and tra- ditions in which it is wrapped. Union College is nearly forty years old, the cornerstone being laid in 1889. Dur- ing the years that have elapsed, many things have been taken for granted. These we call traditions. From the earliest days of the school an annual school picnic, according to Professor George, has been held in the spring. Some years the picnic did not meet with favor by the administration and was omitted, but it has been con- tinued with sufficient regularity to be classed as one of Union's oldest tradi- tions. The students had sung the doxology at the opening of chapel quite regular- ly since the opening of the school until this year when we changed to the first stanza of "Come Thou Almighty King." The opinion has been expressed that we will return to the former practice in time. The senior class of 1906 gave the Golden Cords, which are in the chapel, to the college as a class gift. Since then the annual hanging of the Golden Cords representing the Cords of Love and Friendship to her sons and daugh- ters in the mission fields, has become a tradition. There are now over three hundred Golden Cords reaching to all parts of the globe. In 1917 the senior class published an annual called the Goden Cords. The succeeding senior class continued to publish the annual. Last year the senior class asked the student body to take over the publication of the an- nual. After much deliberation an or- ganization was formed called "The Goden Cords Publishing Association," which now publishes the annual each year. In connection with the Golden Cords we might mention the tradi- tional pictures on the rock pile. The class of '98 built the rock pile and then the class of '93 planted the lilac bush. Since then pictures of Union College students with these as a back- ground, have gone around the word - and are to 3e found in every college annual. The fountain between South Hall and College Hall given by the class of '10, has been the background for many photographs. One of the prettiest traditions that Union College has had has been dis- continued, This was called the Silver- Gray reception. The last Silver-Gray reception was held in 1920 when Miss Rochelle Philmon was dean of women. The young men and the young women of the dormitories entertained all silver and gray haired men and women of the village. They were called for at their homes in automo- biles and. were taken to the worship room in South Hall- Here each old man was given a young lady escort and the old ladies a stalwart young man as a partner. They all went to the South Hall dining room where the young people waited upon their part- ners at dinner: Miss Philmon says that during her' ten years' stay at Union College she never witnessed a prettier sight than the old and feeble grandmothers leaning upon the arms of the stalwart young escorts. In 1920 Miss Rees came to Union College as dean of women. Since then several traditions have been estab- lished. Among them are open house, the formal dinner, good cheer week, the Halloween hike, and North Hall program. The first open house reception was held in North Hall in 1922, the young women entertaining the young men. Since then both North and South Halls have opened their doors once a year for inspection. The first formal dinner was given in 1924, the young women of North Hall entertaining the young men of South Hall. Formal dinners have been held each year since. Their purpose is to acquaint the students with correct modes of etiquette. In 1928 the young men voted to share the responsibility of entertainment with the young women. Since Miss Rees has been dean of women, North Hall has had what is known as "Good Cheer Week," during which everyone tries to be very cheer- ful. The worship period during this week is devoted to talks on good cheer. In 1923 Professor George became dean of men and with his coming came the first Halloween bike. The stu- dents have hiked to Tuttle's Grove about two miles south of the college, each year since. Escorting is permit- ted on these hikes and is usually taken advantage of. In 1920 the young women gave a program in the chapel and this prac- tice has been followed by the young women of succeeding years. In 1928 the program was "The Life of a Girl" which was especially entertaining. During the three years that Mr. Wil- cox has been dean of men at Union College his annual humorous talk in chapel while the president is away, has become almost traditional. Due to Dean Wilcox's resignation this is likely to be placed on the list of dead traditions. Perhaps his successor will continue this practice. This year the seniors are inaugurat- ing a reception for the parents and a campus day program in which all the classes of the school are to have a part. They have suggested that suc- ceeding classes continue to have these programs, but whether or not they be- come Union College traditions rests with the seniors to come. Little Heaven VIOLET RASMUSSEN Better than sunsets, or bird calls, or stars, I love the unboasting strength, and the fairy flowers and colors of that world that tries to reach the stars—the world that men have named the Rockies; the one which I have pleased to call God's "little heaven." Since it is high above the sea; since even Poe could never have made a prairie "prisoner" see its loveliness; since it is a place wherein to forget all about troubles—please, say I not with propriety and reverence, call it another world, a little heaven? It is both of these to me. I have wandered up there over trails that were narrow and steep; looked down into bowls of fragrant pine— and laughed. And the streams have understandingly gurgled with joy. I have been sad in those mountains, and the pine trees have sighed; I have been provoked. But always the red canyon walls have remained serene and undismayed. Storms! I have watched them sweep in from the plains; seen seeth- ing clouds torn asunder by jagged peaks; heard the menace of thunder and the chatter of lightning; felt the sharp slap of rain. But the moun- tains, when the storm had ceased, were lovelier than before. The color of garnets and emeralds, their wet - sides were, like the bottoms of streams that tore down from their snowy tops, Storms, after all, can but wash away the dust and the deceit In rocks and human hearts. But even rocks and men if they be lovely, will reflect the varying moods of weather and of life. They sympathize. They harmon- ize?' The mist that hovers all around the mountains is never quite the same. At sunrise it melts into the softest rose. Noon finds it softening into mauve, and twilight tinges it with shades of violet. Night brings shad- ows and the stars. The silver spray whispers that His touch is dainty, and that He loves exquisite things. The pine trees point their fingers high into the blue, sing- ing, "Look above," and those towering, rugged walls of man-defying rock make me feel ashamed for ever hav- ing doubted that He lives.

There will be one more joint meeting of all the clubs. The time and place of this event will be an- nounced later, COMMERCIAL CLUB At the last meeting of the Collegiate Commercial Club two scenes were pre- sented to bring out important points of law. In the first a guaranteed second-hand car was sold for $1,000 and upon trial was found to be worth- less; consequently the purchaser re- fused to pay the banker for the note he had given, when it became due. Upon appeal to the attorney it was found that the note must be paid, but the purchaser might sue the seller. The second scene showed that the signor of a note was bound when the banker was unable to pay, because the bank mailed notice upon date due, although the signor (who was away on a fishing trip) did not receive noti- fication. The hanker was represented by John Mellon; attorney, Paul Nixon; lawyer, Leonard Beaman; plaintiff, Elmer Schmidt; defendant, William Hansen. GERMAN SEMINAR Emil Lenz spoke in the German Seminar Friday evening on the sub- ject, "Triumph over Sin," basing his words on the text found in Gen. 3:5, 6. Mr. Lenz said, "It is possible to lead a sinless life through the merits of Jesus Christ our Lord, who had the secret of power in living that higher life by maintaining the connection with God through faith. Then Christ bridges that chasm between our unrighteous- ness and His Holiness." SIGMA IOTA KAPPA HEARS JORGENSEN Professor Jorgensen talked to mem- bers of Sigma Iota Kappa of South Hall Wednesday evening, April 17 ; on the "Wonders of the Chemical World." He demonstrated this with chemicals. He had seven pairs of solutions. By pouring in the same reagent into each solution he made one white, the other red, one cold, the other hot, one effer- vescent, the other cease to effervesce, thus showing the wonders of chem- istry. Walther Entertains at the Kappa Theta Society In Kappa Theta, April 11, Professor Daniel Walther played on the violin one of Schubert's gay sonatas. He was accompanied by Professor Verne Waldo Thompson at the piano. The entire program was based on art as shown in music, paintings, and draw- ings. The artists discussed were Schubert, Michelangelo, Fontain Fox (world famous cartoonist), and John Sargent, a modern painter. In the critic's report Miss Ortner said, "This has been one of the most in- structive and educational programs given this year." In the few introductory remarks made by Professor Walther, he men- tioned that he had been afraid to play for Kappa Theta 'though Miss Rees told me," he said, "that it was just for girls. But that was just the point, girls deserve the very best." In spite of the noise made by the steam pipes, Professor Walther brought from the violin real music. Helen Wells told of the life of Michelangelo who was an artist in the fullest sense of the word. She described the four sides of his life, namely, that of a sculptor, a painter, an architect, and a poet. "Many sub- jects in all his work," she said, "were chosen from the Bible." As Willie Dee Wilson told of the work of Fontain Fox, Myrtle Swisher illustrated it by drawing two of his famous characters—Stanley and the Skipper of Toonerville Trolley. The speaker informed the girls that Mr. Fox takes most of his characters from his friends. Dorothy Aultfather chose to tell of a modern painter, John Sargent, who was born in Florence, Italy. She said that he referred to nature more than anything else and that he is known for his portraits, figure pieces, and landscape paintings. THERE IS NOTHING NEW SAYS PRESIDENT THOMPSON "We are living in an age of accum- ulated thinking," said President Thompson before the student group in chapel Monday. "There is nothing new about our flaming generation; old problems are simply taking on an acute form. This is not an age of in- dividuality. We are living in an age of mergers," Ate continued, "mergers of railroad companies, insurance com- panies, grocery stores, etc. "Our civilization depends upon co- operation of workmen and industries. We must depend upon the accumu- lated learning of the past. Individual- ism that cannot adapt itself into co- operation is two hundred years be- hin time." President Thompson gave his defini- tiin of intelligence to be the capacity to adapt one's self to new environ- ments. A leader in a community must not be so far ahead that the followers can not see his dust . His philosophy must have a practical bearing to ex- isting conditions. Christianity does not teach individualism without co- operation, but Christ's philosophy was a continual striving for the benefit of others, and in this way He was find- ing more abundant life. CHILD WIDOWHOOD OF INDIA IS FEATURED The Asiatic mission band gave a program, April 19, featuring life pic- tures of child widowhood in India. The story "One Little Widow," was read by Emma Lou Vogel, while the curtain was drawn at intervals show- ing scenes from actual life. The first two scenes showed the lonely sorrow and the terrifying ex- periences of the little widow. Then a rescued widow from a mission found the little girl, and in the third and fourth scenes the child's life was changed. The last was the bridal scene showing the former child widow and the companion of a young Chris- tian native. Arlene Cornell acted the part of the child widow. Others appearing in cos- tume in the scenes were Thelma Chris- pens, Jane Russell, Roberta Sparks, Mable Broderson, Juanita Huffman and Leon Baker. Mable Broderson gave interesting experiences of her travels in India. Elder S. A. Wellman, who was asso- ciated with Miss Broderson for many years in work in India, told of some of his experiences, and sang a popular song of India. PHILOMATHIAN SOCIETY At the regular meeting of the Philo- mathian society last week, Wilbur Dunn told of the plans for an aca- demic hike. There was a short musi- cal program, including some negro spirituals by the South Hall quartet. Professor Rollin Nesmith spoke of "The Man on a Fence." "Prayer never dies."—E. B. Borends. "The body is the servant of the mind."—James Allen.

Young Women Visit Sud Casa [Continued from Page 1] loons were everywhere. There was even a real merry-go-round and there were booths where we might try our skill in marksmanship with bows and arrows or rubber balls. Everyone who entered the park received a ticket with which he might purchase ice cream, cake, and soda water at the various refreshment booths. The last half hour was spent in marching and after each march a couple was chosen by the queen to be presented at her court for their unusual marching ability. The couples thus honored were Ada Townsend and Carl Moyers, Miss Couch and Harry Carscallen, and Marion March and Waltter Howe. At the end of the last grand march we departed, our hair full of confetti and our hands full of balloons and other mementoes of the occasion, vot- ing unanimously that the citizens of dud Casa were excellent entertainers. EXPERIENCES IN TRINIDAD RELATED An interested group listened to Elder M. B. Butterfield last Friday evening in the South Sea Island band. Elder Butterfield, who is pastor of the Lincoln church, spent several years in the British West Indies, la- boring particularly on the islands of Trinidad and Barbados. He described vividly the prevailing topography and vegetation of these islands. His suc- cess as an evangelist was testified by the number of converts which were led to join the church through his efforts. The earnestness and conse- cration of one convert whose conver- sion he related, inspired all to set a higher goal of attainment in Christian living.

B-2157 THE CLOCK TOWER April Showers Do IVof Frighten Seniors Although the seniors were not fa- vored by sunshine to guide their feet over the stubble field from the college barn to Antelope Creek, Thursday af- ternoon, they donned in slickers and started out, favored 'by the ever threat- ening prospect of a drenching April shower. . After a vigorous baseball game, doubly exciting after the arrival • of the social committee and the lunch, they gathered around the campfire to eat, heartily of sandwiches, salad, hot cocoa, hershey sandwiches, , toasted marshmallows, and oranges. The juice of the oranges was to 'be ex- tracted through the porous stick of green candy inserted in each orange thus carrying out their class colors of green and orange. The party included the senior meal hers, Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Hahn' and Miss Lulu Blanche Hiatt, the class sponsor. JUNIORS HAVE GET- ACQUAINTED HIKE Tuesday's bright sunshine seemed to he too much of a temptation for the junior class. All of the nineteen members met on the North Hall steps at four o'clock ready for a "get ac- quainted" hike. They did not choose to stray far from home; so when they found an appropriate spot northeast of the col- lege farm, they stopped and chose sides for a ball game. The call to supper was a welcome one. The re- maining innings of the ball game were postponed until a future date. At six-thirty the Juniors were back on the campus ready for another study period.

Wellman, returned mis- sionary from India, told the members of the .college Sabbath schoOl, April 20, of India's needs in an interesting mission talk. Elder Wellman has been a mission- ary in India for about sixteen years, and his interest and sympathy makes him especially able in relating facts and stories about India's varied pop- ulation of about 330,000,000, in which are many races, tongues, and dialects. He told particularly of the Kasi tribe of Assam, northeastern India. These people still offer the blood, of human sacrifice to their gods in spite of the watchfulness of the British govern- ment. No- man in this section can feel himself safe, but fears that at any time he may be struck down from behind and his blood offered to this god. Elder Wellman related the strange tradition of the way in which this much-feared god in which these people believe, acquired the power of being invisible. So great is the fear of the people for this snake god that they will kill even a relative in the face of danger of punishment from the British government. This land of Assam its the most dangerous part of India, and there are practically no mis- sionaries in that section. However, there is a call, an unanswered call, and there should be missionaries all through the country. Elder Wellman closed his talk by saying, "Wherever God may call or whatever the opening God's blessing will be with you, and whatever sacrifice you may be called upon to make will be rewarded." Professor Walther played two beau- tiful selections, Siciliano by Pergolese, and Andantino by Padre Martin-Kries- ler. He was accompanied by Mr. V. W. Thompson. The second - one of the student re- views to be given this semester was presented by Miss Verd Nell Rice who gave an instructive survey of the pre- vious week's lesson. • OTTO KROTZ RECITAL (Continued from Page 1) The program was, as follows: Sonatina Op. 100 Dvorak Allegro risoluto Largetto Scherzo Finale Serenade (in three move- ments) Mozart Allegro Minuet Rondo ORCHESTRA Scherzo Goens Ave Maria- Schubert Heire Kati Hubay ; Gavotte Gluck March Militaire Schubert ORCHESTRA Concerto No. 1. Gm _Brach Finale SABBATH SCHOOL CONVENTION [Continued from Page 1] needs of the foreign fields, and what the Sabbath school offering means to them. "The Sabbath school should be one of the greatest instrumentalities, and the most effectual in bringing souls to 'Christ. -The teacher of the Sabbath school class should be consecrated to God and to his task. 'rite teacher should dem(Mstrate in his own life that he has had a real experience in the Christian life. The teacher should fully cooperate with the Sabbath school program and do his best to pro- mote the Sabbath school." A Reasonable Conclusion If 'a man would be a soldier, He'd expect of course to fight, And he couldn't be an author If he didn't try to write. So it isn't common logic— Doesn't have a real -true ring— That a man to be a Christian. Doesn't have to do a thing. If a man would. be a hunter, He must go among the trees; And lie couldn't be a sailor If he wouldn't sail the sdas. How Strange for any member Of a church to think that he Can stay away _from worship And a worthy member be. When you join associations, You must pay up all your dues; And you pay for all you purchase Front hat down to your shoes. There arc social clubs for women, And the same for men and boys, But the members all expect to pay For what each one enjoys. Then how is it that members Of a, church can sit in pews And expect some few to run it Without others paying dues. The cost of operation Must be met in church the same As in home or corporation Or in work of any name. Let us honestly consider Why this difference we find Between our church relations And every other kind. Our business obligations Must be met, the law provides. But the church is not insistent So we let the matter slide. Shop where you pct qua lity C oods— . Watch These Columns!
