Saturday evening October 16, the first public recital of the department of ex- pression was held in the College chapel. � Seven students in the department gave readings and the hearty applause was proof of the students' several abilities. Students were especially favored recently by a visit from Elder Dame' � Pres. odent of the General Conference, wilo was on his way to attend the General Con- ference Council in California. At the Friday evening service Elder Daniells gave a stereopticon lecture in the chapel on mission work in China and India. He preached at the regular church service Sabbath and also at the Missionary Volunteer meeting that afternoon. Sabbath, October 30, Prof. B. G. Wilkinson preached at the morning service and Prof. M. E. Kern spoke to the young people in the afternoon. Professor Kern laid especial emphasis upon the three phases of work outlined under his department, devotional, educational, and organized missionary endeavor. Tuesday, October 12, was the day appointed by the faculty for Harvest In- gathering Campaign. About one hundred ten went out with papers. Despite the rain our students were fairly successful, about $150.00 being collected. The Fate boys have been made happy by a visit from their parents during part of the past week.

IA � THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER Erneitine Hochschorner, a former student of Union, is attending Clinton Sesn- inary this year. She also teaches three classes. Myrtle Peterson has returned from Madison, Tenn., and will be in College View this winter. Word has been received from the South, that Blanche Noble and t. lie Peter- son are enjoying their work at Madison, Tenn. The Choral society is making excellent progress under Prof. Belti direction. It has a present membership of fifty-five. For mid-winter recital the Society expects to render the cantata, "Vision of St. John" by Whitney Coones, besides excerpts from the oratorios "Elijah" and the "Messiah." Faculty and students have been saddened by the report which recently came to our Armenian students, Messers Mandalian, Ask, and Baharian, that the massacre of Armenian Christians had extended to the towns where their parents lived. While definite information regarding the fate of their parents is not obtainable at present, grave fears are felt by the young men, concerning the safety of their people. � Few of the students besides these young men, can realize the awfulness of a massacre, but we desire to tender them our sincerest sympathies in their sorrow which is made more intense by a feeling of uncertainty. � Let us assure our fellow students of Old Union that the tie which binds, which makes one's happiness the pleasure of all, makes their grief ours. The following is a list of students who have matriculated since making out list which appeared in October "Messenger:" Nebraska: Clara Olive Day, Anna I. Helligso, Gertrude Helligso, C. A.

Entered as second-class matter at the paitofize at College View, Nebraska, April 6, 1911, un- der adt of Congress, of March 3, 1879. Miss Una Mae Gourley, a last year's normal graduate, who is teaching at Colome, South Daokta, writes, "I'm anxious to see the 'Messenger' for I'm lonesome for 'Old Union,' although I enjoy teaching out here in the wild weft. This is my first experience in this gate." Amy G. Foote, who has been visiting the Misses Lydia and Either Aalborg at their home near Viborg, S. D., has returned to College View and is assisting at the Sanitarium during the absence of the matron, Miss Ida Johnson. Miss Johnson is spending her vacation in the western states. Miss Winona Engel has accepted the position as head nurse of the surgical ward in the hospital at Broken Bow, Nebr. Lloyd Clark, bookkeeper of the Nebraska Sanitarium, underwent an operation for appendicitis recently. Miss Katherine French is taking his place during his illness. The Department of Commerce has a larger enrollment this year than we have had since the foreign departments left the College. Nine are taking first year Short- hand, which shows an added interest in this line. Two new courses have opened this year: Money and Banking, three hours, and Economics, two hours. These each have an enrollment of ten. They will be followed by Geography of Com- merce and Advertising durrng the second semester. Several of our students are high school graduates, showing a natural growth on the part of the department to- ward the raising of the standard to twelfth grade prerequisite for entrance to Com- merce courses, which goes into effect next year. 12 � THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER and he himself receives one at Union College where he now is attending, as a result of Professor Brown's efforts. This short dialogue met with hearty applause and admiration of the student body after which eight students received a hearty response from the student body upon serving them with paper and pencil soliciting subscriptions. Students and teachers, let us be loyal to our college and we then will say of our paper: The "Messenger" is now sublime, we've given it a test, Of all the papers we have known, we like it far the best. It comes to us anew each month and many greetings brings Reminding us of foreign fields, and many timely things. It tells us of our life in school, of work and college caper, The student life is not complete without our college paper. A "Messenger" Subscriber. THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER � 11 We had had dreams of this privilege many times before. Many times we had, in our imagination, pictured ourselves as being here but never before had we known what it really means to be here. We had been entertained before but never so royally as at Union. We had heard of the spirit of friendliness that existed here but can truly say that the half had not been told. After a pleasant hour of songs and amusements, dainty refreshments were served. All too soon the winking of the lights reminded us of closing time and we departed to our rooms thankful that we had cast our lot amidst such pleasant scenes and cheerful surroundings. But the event will not soon be forgotten. Our thoughts still delight to wander back to that memorable hour, to hear again those words of welcome, to listen to the songs, and partake once more of the friendly greetings. That hour was and has been an inspiration to us to be loyal to the institution of which we are a part. Her aims are our aims; her purposes, our purposes; her ideals, our ideals. All this has come about largely because of the good will and kindly greetings extended to us by the old Students and faculty. A New Student. "Messenger Morning" Who among us does not know that the "Educational Messenger" is the voice of Union College student ideals and functions to the outside world? All old students realize this to be the fact---and those who have come to Union for the first time, doubtless know that our College publishes a beautiful periodical. "Messenger" rally day was Tuesday, September 28. Mr. E. H. Meyers opened the rally services in chapel, with a few remarks regarding the relation be- tween the student and college paper: "Surely as we Students are a part of Union, so certain is the 'Messenger,' because we directly or indirectly aid in its existence." All students who were not subscribers to the "Messenger" were given the invitation to add their names to the list. To further demonstrate the value of being a "Messenger" reader, Mr. Johnston and Mr. Terry gave a short dialogue on the rostrum. � It was wholly original and truly, very interesting. Mr. Johnston (alias Professor Brown) represented a "Mess- enger" worker in the city of Lincoln, where the acquaintance of Mr. Terry was made. Mr. Johnston solicited the subscription of his young friend and also his at. tendance at Union. After several remarks regarding various persons of whom Mr. Terry had evi- dertly heard, it was decided thar if he really wanted to know all that was being done at Union College it would be advantageous to become a subscriber, rather than to know things by "hearsay". One issue is sent to the parents of the young student 10 � THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER Next, our studies, they of course, Demand our §trict attention; You may not know what they comprise, A few of them we'll mention. History---those dates and men--- A hard grind some have found it; But consolation soon has come, "You'll have to stop and pound it." Literature we can't ignore--- "Be satisfied," they tell us, "With nothing but your best," as if To great deeds it impels us. Throughout our College all is well. We work quite hard together, We'll tell you more some future time, Of social life and weather. You know that joyous festival, That this fall month will bring us--- We can't be home---but think of us, And some old home song sing us. To all at home, our love we send--- And your love thoughts will find us; For though we're called from you away The old ties still will bind us. October (Thirtieth at South Hall We, the members of the new Student body, hereby express our appreciation of the hospitality, kindness, and good cheer shown us by the old Students of Union College at the reception tendered us on the evening of October 30. From the day of our matriculation we have been treated, not as inferiors but as co-partners in this institution. We have been made to feel that this is our home but never before had such a visible manifegtation of welcome been extended to us as on that evening. As we entered the spacious dining hall so appropriately decorated for the occasion we were greeted with sights new and entrancing. Banners and pennants of every de- scription caught our eyes and as we noticed our own gates represented in those ban- ners, our hearts thrilled with the thought that we were indeed a part of Old Union. THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER � 9 THE STUDENT'S MPOINT In Union BRYAN G. LAMB A student's life we now have lived For two short months, remember; September and October gone, We have with us November. Dear ones at home, our hearts go out, To you at night and daytime, We wish that we could speak to you At work time and at play time. Meals are good with us you know, Our plan is Cafeteria, Tickets now must stand the bill--- But watch them shrink in area. And then, the campus once so green, By nature amply furnished, Is covered now with fallen leaves, With Autumn tintings burnished. 8 � THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER Union College Lecture Course To all the readers of the "Messenger" our lecture course will be of interest. It is undoubtedly the st►ongest course ever given by the College and will be a very prominent educational feature in the school this year. It is given primarily in order that the students may have the benefit of hearing scme of the artists and lecturers of national and international reputation, although a large number of our local friends are taking advantage of the opportunity that the course affords. The first number appeared October 23,---a joint piano and violin recital by Mr. Sidney Silber and Mr. Carl Steckelberg. The program was highly instructive and entertaining and was duly appreciated by a well filled chapel. � Col. Lou J. Beauchamp followed delivering a lecture November 9, on the subject, "Success in Life and How to Achieve It." Col. Beauchamp is a speaker of personality and power and his lecture was an inspiration. November 27, Smith Damron, the Potter Craftsman, will give a lecture entitled, "The Potter and the Clay" de- monstrating with actual work on the potter's wheel. This will be uniquely attractive and uplifting especially because of the many analogies which Mr. Damron finds be- tween human beings and clay. He will be followed by Ned Woodman, the car- toonist, on December 9. Mr. Woodman has been connected with the Chicago Inter-Ocean, Record Herald. and many other prominent papers, so the quality of his work needs no comment. "The Challenge of the Hour" is the subject of an address to be given January 8, by Sylvester A. Long. Those who attended the lecture course last year know what to expect from Mr. Long. January 22, Chancellor Geo. H. Bradford comes to us. He is one of the foremost educators of this country, but he is above every- thing else a self-made man. He has been over the road of the student who has to make his way through college and knows the needs of the young people. The final number will be a musical program which is announced to be given February 12 although it may appear at an earlier date. THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER Foreign Mission Band At the close of the rally program of the Foreign Mission Band io chapel, Fri- day morning, October 22, when three Student Volunteers, Mr. Mullinex, Miss Gar- rett and Mr. Cooper sp Ace elthu;:ait.cally of the value and benefits derived from missionary study, one hundred ten students were convinced of the truth of the state- ment "The Study of Missions is a Liberal Education." � The Band now has the largest in ssonary study groups in its hisory with more joining each week. They are • studying tie folio sing countries;--Africa, leader T. L. Oswald; Syath A-n-rica, lead- er Albert Madsen; Modem World, leader Fannie Adams: Japan, Martha Doege; Oceania, Merlin Mullinex; India, Lola Garrett; China, Ida Thompson. Elder Daniells' visit to our College just at this time with his strong appeal in be- half of foregn m'ssions cemented this des re to study the d fferent fields into a real interest in the work on the part of almost every student and almost unconsciously each one was lead to determine to have a part in giving the , word of l.fe through Jesus Christ to the hungering, dying millions. � Elder Daniells expects to return later zrd give a series of illustrated lectures on the different countries which he has recently • vis.ted. Surely these will be a help a id inspiration to our Ct,Ileg,.. Professor J. N. Anderson, returned misiioi ary to Ch.na, is with us this year and has prom.sed t) talk to the Band from time to time on different phases of the mis- sionary I fe. If you are interested in missions or if you are not, come to one of the M ssion • Study Groups next Friday evening ar,d enjoy an hour full of missionary talk and en- thusiasm. 6 � THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER (The Quiet Hour No day is begun right that is not begun with secret prayer. R. F. Hoston says, "The morning watch is essential. You must not face the day till you have faced God, nor look into the face of others till you have looked into His. You can not expect to be victorious if the day begins only in your own Strength. Meet first the honored companion of your life--Jesus Christ. Meet Him alone, and regu- larly, with His open book of council before you; and face the regular and irregular duties of each day with the influence of His personality, definitely controlling your every a6." The Christian is I.ke a diver. Every day he plunges into conditions that tend to crush out his spiritual life. His safety depends upon his connection with Heaven. Every day, before going forth, the Christian should test this connection to make sure that it is safe for him to drop into the day's work with its problems and perplexities. These few lines from Bonar testify to the importance of the morning prayer. "Begin the day with God, is thy sun and day: He is the radiance of thy dawn, To Him address thy lay. Take thy first meal with God, He is thy heavenly food: Feed with and on Him, He with thee Will feast in brotherhood. The first transaction be With God Himself above: So shall thy business prosper well, And all thy day be love." A Christian %Alio mutt have learned from experience the value of the morning watch, once said, "If the quiet hour does not prelude the day of activity, we will grow fussy and fevered in our service to men. We will lose our faith; and with our faith we will lose our Strength." Robert L. Stevenson says, "Extreme business is a symptom of deficient vitality." It is' too late for the soldier to buckle on his ar- mor and hunt up his equipments when the enemy is upon km. He must be prepar- ed. So mutt yoU; and prayer is the best preparation you can make for meeting the events of the day. Prayer will help you to do your work, bear your burdens, solve your problems, and sweeten your pleasures. The morning hOur is especially fitted for prayer. It is the quiet time of the day. The toil and disappointments of yegerday are hidden behind the curtain of night, and the cares of today have not yet overtaken us. All about us seems to say, "Be still and know that I am God." THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER The Union College Evangelistic Seminar J. G. MANDALIAN The primary object of Union College is to prepare workers for the Third An- el's Message. The mental grasp, the power of acquirement and application, the culture that the College gives, while important in themselves, are only incidental. They are all means to an end. Through the Study of mathematics the student quickens his thinking and reasoning powers; through history he enlarges his mental world; through English he comes in contact with the best thinkers of the ages; through science he does in the external world the work of an infinite intelligence; through Bible he learns the essentials of Christianity and the present truth; neverthe- less all these are merely theoretical. The Student still lacks the practical, the labor- atory work of the ministry, if you please. We learn by doing. To be sure, there must be a foundation, a basis of starting "to do," and the above said theory will sup- ply this basis; but it is the constant repetition, the application of the same that will train the young worker. There is one activity in the school which meets this demand, and that is the Evangelistic Seminar. To the student aspiring to the ministry, the seminar affords a distinct advantage. This is especially true since the transference of the time and place of the meeting to the chapel hour on Wednesday mornings. The signifi- cance of these meetings to the young preacher are threefold. First, he is given an opportunity to speak. To do this he mutt master his subject, he mug do research • work, mug analyze and outline; he mug now focus all his departments of knowledge on one point, in short, mat apply himself. Secondly, he is given a ready audience--- the entire school. This, perhaps, is as hard an audience as will ever be met with. The consciousness of this fad challenges all his manhood, causes him to wrestle with • temerity, and brings him out a hero. Thirdly, at the conclusion of his discourse, he is given a kindly, yet the fiery baptism of criticism. Here his powers and defects become very vivid to him; he sees them, he feels them. No amount of theory will give this training. While no Student can be given more than one opportunity to speak, still he has the benefit of observation, and may profit by his fellow Student. The seminar desires to accommodate all students who feel disposed to profit by it. All such are cordially invited to hand in their names to the head of the Bible Department. 4 � THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER On Haling a Purpose SQUIBOB Right seldom will a 3 oung person sit day after day in chapel services at an acad- emy or college listening to the well-intended instruction, without, in the course of a school year, being exhorted to choose a purpose. Indeed, so urgently is this pressed home upon him, that when he finds himself quite incapable of following the advice, he begins to feel that for some reason he must be a moral derelict. But a little reflection will lead him to conclude quite otherwise. He cannot, on analysis, fail to see that the advice, as usually given, however well-meant, is absurd. In truth it seems strange that instructors should so far forget the days of their own youth, as not to remember their own utter lack of every qualification for making so momentous a choice as that of a life-work. Before he has finished his college course a young man is just about as well prepared to seleft a life-work as he is to tided a wife. Think of urging young people to manifest a wisdom which they have had neither sufficient experience or education to give them. Once in a while nature cuts out a genius who knows from a very early period of life what he is intended for. He "lisps in numbers" or preaches to chairs or marshals his playmates to war or shows an irrepressible inventive turn. But these fortunate ones are few and far between. Most of us are merely "custom made," like the greater part of the tools of civilization. Like new razors we have to be tried before we know whether we should be used in a creamery or kitchen to cut butter, or in a barbershop to cut whiskers, or mayhap in chiropody. Even by a kind Heaven the most that is promised us is guidance for the day. Seldom does the lifting curtain reveal the future scene. And herein, it seems to me, is suggested the true counsel. It is this: Decide early to be led by divine Wisdom. This does not require one to use a wholly im- mature judgment in selecting law or medicine or preaching or any occupation for his life-work. What it means is, being led by an all-wise Providence to the work one is best qualified for. And the way to this is a Step at a time, and the means is the work that lies at hand, faithfulness in the present duty, doing with the might what one's hand finds to do. VOL. XI Eurational ffira6rtigrr COLLEGE VIEW, NEBRASKA, NOVEMBER, 1915 �NO. i() After Frost The woodside is aglow with goldenrod, A healing calm is in the hazy air, The sky is infinitely blue, and everywhere The hills are glory-crowned, as if fresh trod By throngs of shining angels splendor-shod, Who on an earthly journey slowly fare And leave the impress of their sandals there, So lately radiant on the hills of God. Thus be it in the days that follow grief; When all the smitten leaves of life are sere, And nights are long and days are chill and brief, Then may there fall upon the pain-dulled ear A low, calm voice to give the soul relief, "Peace, peace, be Rill, for God is even here." Eugene C. Rowell. The little cares that fretted me, I lost them yesterday Among the fields above the sea Among the winds at play, Among the lowing of the herds, The rustling of the trees, Among the singing of the birds The humming of the bees. ---Mrs. ,Browning.
