THE RECOR Official Organ of SouthWestern Union Conference of Sellenth-day Adventists VoL. XXXV � KEENE, TEXAS, MAY 27, 1936 � NUMBER 22 Southwestern Junior College MANY years ago a president of an eastern university said that if he added one valuable teacher to his staff each year, he had earned his salary for that period. He was right. A school without students would not be very long lived, it is true, but it is to be said at least for emphasis, that the teacheis do act a large part in the making of an educational in- stitution. Several decades ,ago a symposium was conducted in a magazine by a number of well-known educators. The topic under consideration was regard- ing what it was in their college days that was the most determining in- fluence in their careers. The writer, commenting on the answers, said that in every case these men named a teacher whose personality entered most largely into his life. It is said of the Master Teacher that He gave to the twelve, His class, "the advantage of His own companion- ship." Only when mind meets mind is there teaching or learning. There must be a communion of the heart with heart if real education is to be achieved. If Christian education means any- thing at all it is this : Every teach- ing technique, every element in the science and art of teaching, all the varied factors which make for edu- cation—all these must be exemplified and applied in the classroom ac- tivities. Those items which make for success here and for the life here- after are likewise to be in bold evi- dence in the daily contacts with the students We are confident that the teaching staff of the Southwestern Junior Teaching Staff College is a strong, conservative, and progressive group. In all our in- struction it is the aim and purpose to present fully and clearly and with sufficient evidence the great funda- mentals of the truth for this time. The positive essentials are Ow- emphasis. The spirit of inve-`-` and research is fostered informal, and an -"----0,/,s1s pervades the ci � 6$6' � _y in- centive we know i � -yed to "carry on" in the quest ,i.or truth. With this brief statement of a few principles and facts, we are present- ing a short, modest statement of the teaching staff of Southwestern Junior College. We believe it to be only proper that the constituency of our college should know at first hand and from official sources the items of in- terest concerning the men and women who are for nine of the twelve months the guardians of their children. The teaching an d administrative experience of the present faculty totals exactly two hundred years. This is an average of over fifteen years. The following table will be of interest in this connection: One teacher � One teacher � One teacher � One teacher � One teacher � One teacher � One teacher � One teacher � Two teachers � Three teachers � One of the staff is a Washington Missionary College; two are graduates of Walla Walla Col- lege; four finished their work at Pacific Union College; three took their college work at Union College; and two at Emmanuel Missionary College. The head of the Music Department is a graduate of the ,,-46-..-ASn Conservatory of Music in Vr° � 1; one teacher is a graduate Pacific Union College and 32 years 31 years 30 years 28 years 26 years 18 years 10 years 7 years 6 years 2 years graduate of College; Master's degrees are ----held by five teachers; and another has about completed the requirements for a degree; and another, will take ad- vanced work this summer. It may be seen frorrk the above that five of the six senior colleges are represented on the staff. Several of our academies and one of our junior colleges claim the members of this group as students in ur der-graduate and preparatory work. Some of the group are single; of those who are married, some have children and some do not; in a few cases some were teaching before others were born. Col- leges and academies from Massachus- etts and Washington in the east to Washington and California in the west have at least one on the staff at Keene. This insures a wide and varied experience in training, all of which is at the service of the con- stituency of the great southwest. "It is the nicest work ever assumed by men and women to deal with youth- ful minds," is the first sentence of the very first message given to us on Christian education. The teachers at Southwestern Junior College plan all their work with this in mind. Your boys and girls are studied care- fully. Our dealings with them in all 2 � THE RECORD of the activities of the school are worked out on the basis of individual difference. In a word your child re- ceives expert care here. An educa- tion is an important part of the child's heritage, and we may not without serious loss ignore this duty to them. Plan now to send your children t o Southwestern Junior College. The catalog and manual are now ready for mailing. A representative of the college will call at your home some time this summer. He will meet with most of our people in their churches on Sabbath and he and the president of the college will be at the campmeetings. Time is short; Satan is enlisting his every effort for our youth. Only danger and loss await those who do not heed the oft repeated instruction to place our children in our own schools. A. EARL HALL, Registrar. "Shall Congress Supersede the Constitution and the Supreme Court?" THE above caption is the title of an article which appeared in the Liberty Magazine for the second quarter of this year. Have you read it? � Senators a n d congressmen, judges and lawyers, as well as news- paper editors are discussing this article pro and con. It is creating quite a stir canong those who stand by the constitution and those who are inclined to nullify it. A judge from a western state, in .commenting on this article said, in a recent Aetter to the editor of Liberty: "Permit me to commend you for your editorial in the last number of Liberty, entitled, "Shall Congress Supersede the Constitution and the Supreme Court?' It is the best article on that subject that I have read. "What is the matter with our coun- try? Has it gone over to the con- trol of the demagogues? Has honor, honesty and integrity in governmental affairs drifted into the hands of self- seeking politicians? Has a congress- man's oath lost its solemnity, and when an executive of our great na- tion takes the oath to support the consti*ution of the United States, is it only a meaningless jumble of words? It seems so. Thanks for that fine editorial." You want to read it, and you must help us to place the Liberty Maga- zine in the hands of lawmakers and public officials. You can do this on Religious Liberty Day, Sabbath, June 6, by giving a substantial offering for the religious liberty work in your con- ference, and by becoming a subscriber to the Liberty magazine, and after you have read it, passing it on to your neighbor. The perils we are facing in this onslaught upon our liberties should lead us to make a substantial gift to the cause of relig- ious liberty at this time. C. S. LONGACRE. Colporteur Evangelism "I KNOW your hearts will thrill with mine at the tidings I have just received. A family has accepted the truth and become members of one of our churches as the result of a book I sold here about a year ago. Some one also informed me, shortly after having placed this book in the home, that they were reading it late into the night and were becoming inter- ested."—Glenn Cox. Yes, our books do win souls. We cannot always realize here the full results of our seed-sowing, but heaven will be a thrilling place indeed for the colporteur who has labored faith- fully in the Master's vineyard. Noth- ing can compare to the joy of meet- ing in heaven those who have been saved by the books we have sold. If God is calling you to full-time service in His vineyard, no one but yourself can cheat you out of the joy of winning souls. Many more work- ers are needed. What is your answer? .B. E.

We had the first meeting of our M. V. preconvention this morning. It was very inspiring, and we will have other such meetings before we get through. We had a fine trip out here with no car trouble, not even a flat tire. We felt lucky to evade all dust storms through the western prairies, and we had very good roads. At El Paso we went across into Old Mexico, where we spent a few hours. This was very interesting. We struck California just in the orange and cherry season, so as you can imagine we had our fill of them. While we are out here, we hope that you will pray for the success of our meetings. A. F. Rur AND FAMILY. Perfect Records THERE are not many families with five members that have a perfect Sabbath school record for ten years. Mrs.- Amelia Batson, and Misses Gladys, Alyce, Dorothy, and Louvence Batson, of New Iberia, Louisiana, hold such a record for five hundred and twenty Sabbaths! The Bible studied every day for 3,650 days straight! What a commendable record—one that could belong to hundreds of others in this union. "Parents, set apart a little time each day for the study of the Sabbath school lesson with your children. Give up the social visit if- need be, rather than sacrifice the hour devoted to the precious lessons of sacred history. Parents, as well as children, will re- ceive benefit from this study. . . . "Neglect anything of a temporal nature; dispense with all unnecessary sewing and with needless provision for the table, but be sure that the soul is fed with the bread of life." Sabbath School Worker, April, 1885. C. E. LAMBETH. • Marianna and Crawfordsville THE writer spent fifteen days with the Marianna church in an effort to strengthen and build up the member- ship. The members cooperated splend- idly, and the Lord brought spiritual revival and added six new converts to the number. From Marianna I went to Craw- fordsville. Conditions there were not the best. However, the believers there worked hard, and the Lord blessed the effort in adding one soul to the cause. � J. H. WILLIAMS.

The Dorcas society is working steadily to do its share in welfare service, and is making quilts and garments. We are glad to report that three young people are grad- uating from the elementary grades in our church school headed by Miss Hattie Stewart. On May 2, a baptismal service was conducted in the church, at which time six adults were buried in the watery grave. Our aim is to let our light shine steadily in the corner just where we are. � I. A. CHRISTIAN. Ozark Junior Academy Closing Exercises IT WAS fitting to have all of our young people from the northwest district come to Gentry for a union meeting • at the time of the closing exercises of the school there. It was a privilege to talk to such a large gathering from that district on Sab- bath morning. The first item on the program, after a lunch at noon, was a short Mothers' Day program. Then we spent several hours in convention work. In the middle of the afternoon we had an investiture service, and a little time was also given to discuss the advant- ages of having a school in that sec- tion for our young people. At 8:00 P. Al. a program was pre- sented by the students, centering in the graduating exercises of the finish- ing class. � A. F. RUF. Dedicatorial Se,rvices of the Woodward Church SEVERAL years ago when the conference committee gave study to the question of the church at Wood- ward, the members had dwindled down to such a small number that it was felt that perhaps the time had come to disband the church. But we felt that before that was done we should make one more effort to strengthen the membership, so. Elder Hein was asked to hold a few meetings there. A tent was pitched in the spring of 1935, and Professor and Mrs. Nesmith of Tulsa joined Elder and Mrs. Hein in this effort. The brethren felt before Elder Hein left there that a church building should be erected, as there was no place for our believers to worship. From a human standpoint it seemed impossible to go ahead with these plans, because of the years of drought in that section. But the little com- pany began to earnestly pray that the Lord would lead, and if it was His will, money would come in so that they could begin their work on the church building. While the writer was studying the problem with Elder Hein, Brother C. C. Schaeffler, elder of the Tangier church, entered the room, and we con- sidered the question together. As a result Brother Scheeler and Elder Hein each pledged $25 toward the new church building, and the business men as well as our members all responded with generous gifts. Some of the members of our other churches in that section also helped, especially the members of the Enid, Tangier, and Shattuck churches. Besides financial assistance the brethren of Shattuck gave several days of labor. The members who formerly belonged to the Isabella church agreed that the money from their church building deposited with the conference, might be loaned—to the'Wo7dv7iFd church; and upon its dedication this was the only debt the church had. A call was made and about $100 was raised in cash and pledges, which leaves about $40 for the company to raise. Aside from the labor the church cost a little over $1,100 including the lots. It is a neat little church built of tile, stuccoed on the outside. It was expected to have Elder H. H. Votaw of Washington, D. C., with us to preach the dedicatorial sermon, but he could not be with us, and we were happy to have Elder W. D. Frazee conduct the service. Elder Carl Becker of Chicago was also present, and he occupied the pulpit at the eleven o'clock hour. In the dedicatorial services which took place in the afternoon J. J. Reis- wig offered the prayer, C. D. Hein gave the history of the church and the financial statement, Miss Pierce sang "The Holy City," and the Shat- tuck male quartet sang several splen- did selections. The church"was' packed to its capacity. Visitors were present from the Enid, Alva, Follett, Shattuck, East Cooper, Tulsa, and Oklahoma City churches. May the stirring message delivered' by Elder Frazee, based upon Zech- ariah 4, ever beheld as the objective of the church members, and may they let their lights so shine that many others may be drawn to the Lord and join the last remnant people before it is too late. �J.

Evangelism OUR readers will rejoice with us over the results which have been at- tending our efforts in our soul-win- ning program in the conference so far this year. Due to the fact that we are forced to economize in our expenditures in the conference in order to operate within 'our income and thus not create • more debts, we have been deviating somewhat from our previous evan- gelistic program. Also due to the fact that many of our churches have been calling for help and have labored in the interest of those who have grown cold and indifferent, we have held a number of efforts in our churches. Elder Anderson has been conduct- ing a series of Sunday-night meetings in the Dallas church, and as a result of several months of Sunday night meetings seven were baptized, and about that many more are in the class and will be baptized soon. Elder Youngberg, superintendent of the Valley district, reports seven baptisms in the Edinburg church as a result of the work done there. Recently Elder E. W. Storing closed a series of meetings in Yancey, which resulted in the baptism of six who were added to the Hondo church. Elder Storing plans to begin another campaign in the near future. Sister Langdon, one of our faithful Bible workers, has been doing faith- ful work in the city of Weslaco and surrounding territory, and as a re- sult has eleven in her class, seven of which were baptized a week ago last Sabbath. Elder J. D. Smith and Brother C. L. Chastain are now in the midst of a church effort in Orange. They re- port that the attendance is good and the prospects for good results are bright. Orange is the place where we organized a new church last June as a result of Elder G. R. Carter's work. They now have their own church building paid for and rejoice over the fact that they have a nice place in which to worship. Eider V. W. Becker is in an effort at Wailer, a place where the message is not yet known, and the reports from that meeting indicate that the COME with me, this Sabbath morn- ing, for a visit to the Kalgan Sabbath school. After a pleasant walk through the main part of the city of 90,000 inhabitants, and after crossing over the large river-bridge, we come shortly to the chapel. As we are a few mom- ents early we would ordinarily sit down and quietly wait for the open- ing of the school, but you will want to know something regarding the chapel where we are having the services, so instead, we will walk around a bit. We notice a door to the left of the rostrum, and going through find that it leads to the yard back of the chapel, from which several rooms can be entered. Here are the offices of the Charar-Suiyuan Mission, the Book and Periodical House, and the home of Mr. Wu Chin- feng. Mr. Wu is the local evangelist. He has two little children who are motherless, due to the fatal results of tuberculosis. We naturally are led to express pity for these little ones, but in spite of this recent loss in Brother Wu's family, we find him of good courage, endeavoring to care for the little ones, and carry forward the work in his territory. Turning to reenter the chapel we see Miss Li Yu-ch'ing with her ever smiling face, coming to meet us. Miss Li is the superintendent, and of course is glad to welcome visitors to her Sabbath school. She tells us that everything is ready to begin just as soon as the clock points to the open- ing hour. After entering the chapel again, we see that a number of people Miss Li's have arrived, and that there is a wonderful spirit of quietness and reverence. Taking our places we await the time to begin. Promptly at 9:30, Miss Li and those who are to have a part on the program, arise and take their places. on the rostrum. Miss Li comes for- ward and in a clear voice reads two statements concerning the Sabbath school work. After a moment's silent prayer she announces the opening song. While we can not understand the words, we know from the tune that it is an old favorite, "Give Me the Bible," that is being sung. Following this there is the regular program of the Sabbath school, but we are impressed with the way it is handled. Every one is well prepared 'for his part. Brother Ho Pao-chung, instead of getting up and reading the missions reading, in a clear voice tells the story for the day. Everyone is interested, because everyone can hear. Mr. Kuo gives a careful re- view of the previous lesson showing that he has spent time in prepara- tion. After the lesson study Miss Li resumes charge, and in a most in- teresting way has the memory verse repeated by the twelve children pres- ent. After these little ones have said their verse, the Birthday Offer- ing is received. Miss Li encourages the people in their preparation for the Investment offering, calls atten- tion to the few who were tardy, urg- ing them to be on time next week. On this Sabbath day, there are ten women, twenty men, and twelve children 1 prospect for good results is bright. Word comes from Beeville that final arrangements have been made for a series of meetings to be held in a hall with practically no expense to the conference by Elder A. G. Young- berg, assisted by his daughter, Mar- garet, who does the playing and as- sists him in the Bible work. We do appreciate the interest our constituency is taking in our evan- gelistic program throughout the con- ference. Our conference workers will be tied up in evangelistic efforts until Harvest Ingathering time, September 1. Elder Anderson and Elder Smith, who have: gone to the General Con- ference, will be later in starting their campaigns, but arrangements have been made for them to start their campaigns when they return from General Conference, about the middle- of June. Let us earnestly pray that the Lord will bless us again this year with a rich harvest of souls. G. F. EICHMAN. Does Our Colporteur Work Pay?

THE RECORD � 5 I would like to inform our readers of some of the results that have been accomplished by the sale of literature. On the fourth of April six people were buried with their Lord in bap- tism in the San Antonio church, as the result of the labors of one of our faithful sister colporteurs in coopera- tion with the pastor. I am sure that any of you would have been more than glad to have been the sister who was selling the magazines which led these people to a knowledge of their personal Saviour. While visiting in the lower Rio Grande Valley I met one of our col- porteurs who has been ill for some time and was staying at the sani- tarium there. He gave me this very interesting account. He received an order for Our Times and Their Mean- ing, and when he delivered the book he found the people very interested in the truth. I understand that as a result of reading that book three there are awaiting baptism, with the prospect of others being won to the truth through the results of that one sale. • Then I received a letter from one of our faithful sisters who is selling the Watchman Magazine in the city of Sulphur Springs. She tells me that she, has some interested people there, and that she with some other interested members have organized a Sabbath school and they have had an attendance as high as eighteen at one time. Certainly the Lord is bringing results through her efforts. . This morning I was thrilled as I received a letter from one of my col- porteurs stating that an entire family had been won through a book that he sold in the city of Houston. He 'is praising the Lord for the results of his work there, and. I believe that we can all heartily join in his praise service. Not only does this mean many souls saved, but think of the tithe and mission offerings that will be turned in as a result of these few faithful workers during the first few months of this year. Let us all earnestly seek the Lord in prayer in behalf of our faithful, colporteurs, and not only in their be- half, but also let us ask Him what He would have us do as workers in His vineyard. � A. E. VAN NOTY. News Notes A. E. Van Noty has just made a trip through Beaumont and will spend Sabbath and Sunday in San. Antonio, conducting a colporteur class there-- Sunday. Henry Stephens Walter Will, and Leonard Webb, students from the school, are canvassing counties around Waco. They report good courage and fine prospects. Miss Knox from Colorado and Miss Botts from Dallas are planning to sell magazines in Port Arthur. Miss Howard, Miss Clouse, and Miss Stewart are working in the city of Houston for their scholarships. Claude Gandon is helping Lloyd Allen and Fred Blackburn start work in Waxahachie for their scholarships. Delmar Mock is of good courage and having wonderful experiences. We are expecting Joe Kraemer in the field as magazine leader the first of June. W. E. Baxter, superintendent of the Costa Rica Mission of South America, stopped a few minutes in the office while on his way to General Conference. L. C. Evans from Greensburg, Pennsylvania, visited in our office on his way to General Conference. Word reaches the office that our workers attending General Conference have had very pleasant trips thus far. 6 � THE RECORD TEXICO CONFERENCE R. P. Montgomery, President T. R. Gardner, Secretary 419 Rencher St., Clovis Make Disciples "GO YE, therefore, and make disciples of all nations." It is the business of the disciples of Jesus Christ to go and make more disciples. How many of the churches of the Texico Conference have added any new disciples to their membership this year? I have observed that in some of our churches that I have visited our people are busy giving Bible readings and scattering litera- ture and doing whatever they can to make more disciples. A number of churches have already added a few to their membership. I sincerely hope that every church in the conference will add a few mem- bers to their number before the close of the year. But the year is going by rapidly. If you are going to bring some souls to Christ this year you will have to get busy. May this suggestion influence some here and there to launch out and put forth earnest efforts to reach some honest souls with this last message of truth. There are those all around you who would be, glad to accept the truth if you would present it to them in the proper manner. What are you doing for Jesus as the days go by? People are dying every day all around, and yet so many of us are doing nothing to warn them. Let us arouse, and give the message, and make disciples while we have oppor- tunity. �R. P. MONTGOMERY. Wellington, Texas SABBATH afternoon, May 9, will be an occasion which will not be for- gotten soon by the members of the Wellington company. At 2:30 about forty-five believers and a number of isitors assembled in the church for the Sabbath school service. A splen- did school was conducted by Brother Harold Colburn. A very impressive service followed. After appropriate remarks, an in- vitation was given to those who wished to unite with God's command- ment keeping people. Sixteen adults came forward, signifying their in- tention of obeying the truth. The baptismal service was held in the first Baptist church, at which time ten of the sixteen went forward with their Lord into the watery grave to rise to walk in newness of life. The meetings in Wellington were held due to the persistence of the be- lievers there. We rejoice today with them in that the meetings were held, because of the precious jewels which have been gathered out for the king- dom of heaven. The believers in this place have worked hard and long, and the success of this meeting has been due largely to their untiring efforts. Now they are able to rejoice in a partial fruition of their prayers, tears, and labors. There are several other adults and young people who we believe will very soon decide to obey the call and demands of God. C. A. WALGREN. Wedding ON TUESDAY, May 5, at eight P. M.

Brother Colburn is one of Texico's lay evangelists, and he is using the projector and films.

The Watchman in Congress "RECENTLY Congressman Bloom wrote requesting permission to print one of my articles on the constitution that was in the Watchman. The April issue of the Illinois Journal of Commerce contains another article that was in the Watchman." Excerpt from a letter written by Claude E. Holmes, a Watchman contributor, to the editor, James E. Shultz. The Watchman is appreciated by thoughtful people. Surely it ought to be appreciated by our own people. We should read it and introduce it wherever possible. Read and cir- culate the Watchman. HENRY F. BROWN. "The Promise of the Father" A NEW book of intrinsic value, written by Elder C. H. Watson, is now ready. The scope of this work has been briefly summarized by Pro- fessor W. E. Howell as follows: "This new book is one of unusual merit as a practical help in daily Christian living. It is not a treatise on the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, but rather opens to view the treasures of truth and promises in the Scrip- tures for the personal life and walk, in both a simple and a very effective way. It broadens and clarifies what is comprehended in the promise of the Father to send the Comforter into the heart and life of every believing soul. One can feel a spiritual uplift on every page as he contemplates the deep things of God brought to the sur- face where they can be easily dis- cerned. Few books can be read with equal help by worker and layman, by official and helper, by teacher and learner alike." The value of this book increases as it is read and studied. It is a volume you will prize. Place your order with your church missionary secretary, or send direct to your Book and Bible House. There are two bindings, cloth and paper. You will want the cloth binding. The prices postpaid are: Durable blue cloth � $.95 Beautiful embossed paper � $.65 "Unless we are daily advancing in the exemplification of the active Christian virtues, we shall not recog- nize the manifestations of the Holy Spirit in the latter rain."
