MISSIONARY FROM INDIA SPEAKS Beliefs and Customs of Moslems Described by Mr. Oss at Sabbath School COSTUMES SHOWN Mohammedans Show Both a Spirit of Kindness and Hostility Toward the Missionaries Union College Sabbath school enjoyed an organ prelude played by Mr. Otto Lutz, a native of Germany, who has been in the United States only a few years. A feeling of reverence settled over the school as he played. On the gondola of the dirigible the names of Mrs. Oss, Mr. Hanhardt, and Mrs. Hilts appeared this week, their classes being the nearest perfect. The superintendent reminded us that these are all girls' classes. The girls still lead in general average of attendance, daily les- son 'study, and reaching the financial goal. When a mission talk is given by one who has had personal experience, it al- ways seems more real. Mr. Melvin Oss, who has been in India, talked about the Moslems. Two students in costume sitting on the stage helped make his words more vivid. - The Moslems are a distinct people," Mr. Oss said. "Their language is the universal language of India. "Because the Koran was written in Arabic, Moslems have had such a pro- found respect for that language that they will not destroy a page of Arabic sym- bols. Therefore, our missionaries print many tracts in Arabic to save them from destruction. - In religious matters there are both tolerant and intolerant Moslems. For ex- ample, one man said it would take a hundred Mohammeds to make one Christ. (Continued on page four) CALENDAR OF EVENTS Friday, November 13 South I-lull Program 8:00 p. m. Sunset 5:I I p. m.

Unemployment insurance, old age pen- sions, high wages and good working con- ditions are points in an "American sta- bilization plan" which the commerce re- partment will ask industry to impose upon itself to avoid or ameliorate future depressions. Eight to ten million dollars in credit, to help farmers keep their corn off the market until prices justify, will be made available when the National Corn Credit corporation begins functioning. Grain storage laws in force at present in Ill- fonts, Iowa, and in the Dakotas. will enable corn growers of those states to obtain credit advances on their grain without its removal from bins. Rising wheat prices were acclaimed by an entire nation as a forerunner of cash for the farmer to buy goods manufac- tured and transported by the laborer—a forerunner of work for the jobless. It has been found that the world wheat sup- ply was reported lower than first figures. Wheat was still 19 cents or so higher than the all time low price level reached last Oct. 5, when the price slumped the lowest it had been since Elizabeth was queen of England. One of the most peremptory warnings yet given by the League of Nations to Japan was issued Nov. 7, by Aristide Briand, acting president of the League of Nations council, insisting that military activities in Manchuria cease. Astounded by Japan's refusal to co-operate with the terms made by the council, the council at its meeting on the 16th of November is expected to act immediately on Article 15 of the league covenant, which elim- inates the necessity of unanimous consent to any course decided upon. Three deci- isions were expected to be taken. A solemn declaration to the world that Japan is a violator of the covenant and the Kpilon part Appointment of a committe of in- vestigation. Recall of the foreign ambassadors in Tokyo, leaving economic pressure as a final resort. SEMINAR PROGRAM GIVEN BY GIRLS Types of Stories and Songs for Children Discussed by Speakers The Gospel Workers' seminar Friday evening was conducted by the young women, under the charge of Sophia Van Buskirk, assistant leader. The attendance was unusually large, so large that it was necessary for ad- ditional chairs to be brought in, and still people stood. Miss Van Buskirk introduced the speakers:Juanita Paxton, who was to speak on "Stories for Children," and Mrs. A. C. Cornell, who was to speak on "Types of Songs for Children." Miss Paxton said that everyone likes stories. She also asserted that "Everyone has the talent of story telling," and, as proof, asked her hearers to stop and think if they had not at some time or the other, told stories. After enumerating some of the reasons for story telling; she told of some of the "tricks" to story telling. To illustrate these, Miss Paxton told a story to sev- eral children present about "Molly Cot- tontail and Ragalug." Mrs. Cornell stated "Songs sung to to children make a lasting impression and, who knows, may bear fruit." She told of the characteristics of children's songs, and demonstrated how to make the meaning of new songs clear by illustration to the tiny tot. To illustrate the types of children's songs, she interspersed her talk with songs: "On the Bough of the Tree," sung by three little girls, "The Boat on Gal- ilee," sung by two little girls, "Mission- ary Bells" sung by three older children, and "When the Children Sing," sung by all the children. The sons of Thomas Edison will "car- ry on" for their famous father, whose will left them the responsiblities of his estate. Chief among problems confront- ing them is an experiment cut short by death—the perfection of a process to manufacture rubber from goldenrod. A pamphlet issued by William H. Gardiner, attacking President Hoover's naval policy, and charging him with -abysmal ignorance" of naval affairs, contained "many inaccuracies, false as- sertions and erroneous conclusions, - was voted by a jury appointed to weigh the truth of the statements. A verdict in favor of President Hoover was returned. The committee of naval affairs and those who issued these statements of falsifica- tions thought that President Hoover was holding back, and having secret negot- iations with Prime Minister MacDonald of England. Much disturbance during the week in the Manchurian region is causing anxiety. The first of the week Japanese military advances against two points within "the Russian sphere of influence" in Manchuria and a "secret Chinese-Russian" treaty were reported in alarming dispatches. The soviet warned last week by Japan against mobilization of its troops in Manchurian territory, was reported "in a belligerent attitude." Wednesday, Japanese troops carried several Chinese strongholds in a battle with Hcilungkiang forces along a five mile front in Manchuria, in the most alarming warfare of the present far east- ern crisis. The battle line is in the Tsit- sihar area, near the Chinese eastern rail- road, and within the influence of soviet Russia. It has been found that many Russians clad in Chinese uniforms were found among the dead on the Nonni river battlefield, indicating active volunteer par- ticipation of the Russians in the Man- precautions were redoubled by the Jap- anese. All Chinese travelers were forced to undergo search before permission was granted for continuance of their journey.

Just ask Hazel Breb- ner. She felt as if she had been magically transported to some foreign country when she accompanied Bessie McCumsey to a Spanish and colored section of the city last Sabbath afternoon. Rows of houses which have long ago lost their paint, broken walks, groups of dark-skinned, ragged children playing in the streets, the sound of a foreign lang- uage in ones' ears—no wonder that the stranger coming there for the first time feels himself in another country. A weekly study has been given in that district at a Spanish home. The women who have taken part in the studies read and speak English as well as Spanish, so Miss McCumsey expected to conduct the meeting in English as usual. How- ever, the husband of one of the women was present, and since he could not un- derstand English, the study on "Where arc the Dead?" as given in Spanish. It was the first time the man had at- tended one of the studies, and he was so interested that he scarcely allowed the women to answer any of the questions. When the lesson was finished, the man, who appeared quite well acquainted with the teachings of the Scriptures, asked why Christians keep Sunday when the Bible commands the keeping of the (Continued on page four) Sunshine Band Presents Program for Children On Sabbath, November 7, a Sunshine band led by one of the assistant leaders felt happy to scatter sunshine to the children at the Orthopedic hospial. Gene- vieve Fiman and Henrietta Reiswig sang a duet. Carl Specht and Clinton von Pohle told the children stories. The parts were presented in an unusual way, which drew the attention of the listeners. After the program was given in a girls' and a boys' ward, papers were given to each of the children to read, GOD DOES HIS WORK THROUGH THE CHURCH Everyone in the Church Must be a Working Member if he is Truly Converted C. T. Burroughs, Home Missionary secretary of the Central Union confer- ence, spoke in the College View church Sabbath morning. He began his remarks with the statement that evangelism is, and ever has been, the business of the church of God. He declared that evan- gelism should be the business of every member of the church. "No man is truly converted unless he bears evidence of it in his activities." The speaker pointed out a lesson from Paul's conversion. He drew a parallel between Saul's question, "What wilt thou have me to do?" and what our attitude should be in seeking to do the will of God. The admonition was given not to work for works sake, for God would have His people serve Him for love's sake and for Christ's sake. In speaking of God's plan for His people, Pastor Burroughs said, "God's way of working is through the church. Paul never worked individually. He was always lining up with the program that God had for His church. God does not change, and His plan does not change. God is still looking for men who will o.k in aLt..ordancc LE; has planned for the church. - In speaking of our duty as Christians, the speaker declared that every Chris- tian should feel an earnest desire to do for others what the gospel has done for him. Summarizing his sermon, Pastor Burroughs said, "God calls for true con- version. God has a balanced program for His church. He has intrusted it to His people. They should be concerned with soul winning, not soul warning." PASTOR ROY LEADS MEETING Prayer meeting was held in the College View church Wednesday night, with a large attendance. Pastor Roy, a returned missionary from South America, gave a brief review of the work in the Inca union among the Indians of the high altitude region of Peru. S. S. Department Publishes Book WHEN do "the early rain" and "the latter rain" fall? What fact about harvest time is re- vealed in Jeremiah's statement, "The har- vest is past, the summer is ended"? With Palestinians, when does the day begin and end? When Isaiah says, "Then shall thy light break forth as the morning," to just what natural fact does he allude? What products are grown in the Holy Land? Mention some Bible promises which are based upon the fact of intense mid-day heat, characteristic of Palestine. These are all interesting and worth- while questions to the Christian and to the Bible student. Fifteen hundred such questions are an- swered by the book, - Bible Manners and Customs, - to be used in our Sabbath School Workers' Training Course in 1932. The book is quite inexpensive, too, —only 95 cents anywhere in the world. The regular price, advertised by the pub- lishers (Revell) is $1.25, but special ar- rangements have been made between our denomination and the publishers whereby our Book and Bible Houses may retail the book at this special reduction of 24%. If you want a copy of this valuable book, place your order early with your Book and Bible House. If you wish to study it with others, we invite you to join any Sabbath School Workers' Train- ing Course class. All progressive Sab- bath schools have the Training Course. J. C. THOMPSON. Gen. Conf.

OWEN Daughter of Great Commoner Speaks on This Business of Being a Congressman HOME LIFE STRESSED Women's Activities Not Confined to the Four Walls of a House But Are National "War will no longer be a menace when every person in the world becomes so educated that he recognizes his duty to the world, - declared Ruth Bryan- Owen, daughter of the late William Jen- nings Bryan, in her address, "This Bus- iness of being a Congressman" in the Union College chapel, Saturday night, as the second number of the college lyceum course. Her address centered around her ex- periences in politics and the place of the woman in present-day civilization. Mrs. Owens' charming personality and elo- quent vioce gained the complete atten- tion of the audience. Referring to the world peace project, one for which considerable of her efforts are spent, Mrs. Owen told of an ex- perience in Germany last summer when she was in a Berlin market. "A German woman told me then that if it were left to the people of the world to decide, there would never be war." Mrs. Owen said, "And I know she is right."' Mrs. Owen forecast that such recog- nition of duties will not be long delayed, pointing to the fact that in a few years the American people will come to see their duty to the nation instead of to the community. Women's organizations. Mrs. Owen said, had been a tremendous influence in bringing about such changed outlook.

When I saw that funny poster about "Heterogene- osity," and heard the girls talking about the boys' program, I determined to go to the bottom and get the facts. It hasn't been a snap, because no one seemed to want to give out information. But I had heard so much about those wonderful South Hall programs that I was fired with curiosity to know what to expect on November 14. What with begging, coercing, bribing, inviegling, wheedling and snooping, I've been as busy as the law will allow. But it's been worth all the trouble. Even with my slight knowledge of the pro- gram, I'm can scarcely keep myself in check until I find myself in the chapel Saturday night. If you don't want a good time, stay away. Walt Howe and his helpers have arranged a program that will thrill you, please you, stir you. A wide variety of entertainment will hold you spellbound from start to finish. There will be sweet music by Wally Nethery's South Hall Orchestra. Such talented performers as Ernest Baker and Vernon Becker will fascinate you with the spoken word. Rousing music by a handsome male quar- tet, and a great song by a great tenor! Why, that's enough already to make a splendid program. But the best comes last, like the pumpkin pie. More than a score of the citizens of South Hall will present a dialogue that brings a thrill and a throb. Patriotism and pathos are co-mingled in this glorious finale to a glorious evening. Streetcar and Bus Fares Are Reduced in Lincoln Sunday morning, November 1, because of the few people riding the street cars and buses of the Lincoln Traction com- pany, a reduction was made in the fare. Now a passenger may ride any place in Lincoln by street car or bus for ten cents. The past few months the city has been divided into zones. The first zone is the heart of the city. In this zone the fare has been five cents. In the second zone, extending to the edge of Lincoln proper, the fare was ten cents. Beyond this zone the fare was twelve cents. Now, no mat- ter where a passenger rides, the price is ten cents. "The secret of life's harmony is sacri- fice." Student Volunteers Will Discuss World Problems at Buffalo China and Japan at each others throats —a League disarmament conference in February which will powerfully influence world history in the years ahead—India agonizing in her struggle to work out her national destiny—a tottering econ- omic.system that produces industrial con- flict and unemployment the world over— shall we in America be mere spectators, or can, should, will thinking stundents have any small part in helping toward the solution of these and other similar crises that are racking the world today? Is there any contribution they can make, any point where their thinking can dig in right now? Certainly the dizzy rapidity of present world-changes demands that they give careful thought to the place of religion in the present world order; while, by the same token, the rapid modifications in the Christian missionary enterprise ne- cessitate a new and penetrating appraisal of the whole purpose and technique of foreign missions. The most significant student religious gathering during the present academic year will be the meeting of the Eleventh Quadrennial Convention of the Student Volunteer Movement, at Buffalo, New York, December 30, 1931, to January 3, 1932. Four thousand delegates from the colleges and universities of the United States and Canada are expected to gather there to consider: The present world situation. The place of Christ in this world- picture. The present problems facing World Christianity. The future of Christian Missions.

WEEK OF PRAYER CLOSES AT VESPERS Admonishes Students to Hold Fast the Experiences Which They Have Gained Pastor Meade MacGuire used as his text Friday evening, Heb 10:35-39. " 'Cast not away therefore your confid- ence, which hath great recompense of reward.' We are living a time when men are throwing away their confidence," he said. "This verse is giving a simple ad- monition for these days. We have been following the prophecies and have seen many of them fulfilled, and we know we are approaching the end; yet men are throwing away their confidence." During this past week many have given themselves to Jesus, and Pastor Mac- Guire warned them that even in this new found joy and happiness they need to understand also that difficulties con- front them. For the very act of truning from sin to Christianity makes it certain that powers of evil will array themselves against them and try to discourage them. "But prepare ourselvts," he said, and hold on, knowing that it Is a matter of life and death. The nearer we come to the end, the more difficult it will be to believe that we are right near the end. Therein lies the danger." A story is told of a man who went to sea when he was very young. While most of his life was spent on the seas, he never learned to swim. One day, in a storm, he was ordered up into the riggings of the ship, and as the storm raged he was tossed up into the sea. He could not swim, but a rope was thrown to him. After a great struggle he was pulled over the side of the ship and onto the deck; but he would not let go the rope. Finally, the captain said, "Bill, you are all right, and safe, let go the rope." But the old sailor answered, "Captain, I can't let 'er go—I gripped 'er for life." Pastor MacGuire urged us, while we have accepted the love of Jesus, to grip it for life. " 'Cast not away therefore your con- fidence, which hath great recompense of reward. For ye have need of patience.' This implies that there will be a delay, (Continued on page two) 0 Children Present Armistice Program BY EVELYN BAER As November 11 rolls around, can't you almost hear the old Liberty Bell ring! Of course you can't, but if you will go to the University Coliseum, Wed- nesday afternoon, November 11, you will be able to, at least, catch the spirit of that long passed Independence Day. Annually the school children of the city of Lincoln put on a colorful and well-organized program in remembrance of that great day. Thousands of students ranging from the first to the twelfth grades contribute their parts to make the program a success. As one sits and lis- tens to hundreds of childish voices sing- ing "My Country 'Tis of Thee" and "America the Beautiful," he cannot help but rise and join with them in singing the words of praise for the "land of the free, and the home of the brave.' CHURCH SCHOOL HAS SPEAKER During this Week of Prayer the school has had several speakers. President Andreasen spoke last Monday on the seven steps from sin to right doing. Tuesday Professor Cady spoke. Profes- sor Habenicht gave a talk on Tues- day, Wednesday, Thursday, and Fri- day, showing that a Christian does not have to live up to a rigid and tire- some set of rules.

"Thou knowest, 0 Lord, that no nation so infamous, vile, greedy, sensuous bloodthirsty, ever disgraced the pages of history. Make bare Thy mighty arm, 0 Lord, and smite hungry, wolfish Hun, whose fangs drip with blood, and we will forever raise our voices in Thy praise." So prayed a famous evangelist, still living, in the House of Representatives in January, 1918. Possibly he recalled on Armistice day that prayer of over thirteen years before. We hope so. But time makes us look with shame and disgust on that bestial exhibition of "Christian" nations tearing at each other's vitals in the interest of "Democracy" and "kultur." War is hell; and the unforgettable acts of courage and sacrifice and love that were the only bright flowers in a stinkmire of hate can in no wise atone for the stark wretchedness of war with its millions of blasted lives. We honor those who would sacrifice life itself for a cause, but what tremendous stores of hope and devotion were cast to the winds in that wild deluge of blood. It is true, also, that time heals wounds. Some of them it heals too quickly. But, one asks, why open old wounds? For the simple reason that we have not learned our lesson. Here is a peace plan offered by Arthur Brisbane, the famous columnist: "Plenty of submarines and heavy bombing planes to meet any- body that comes with hostile intention, swift planes able to fly the ocean, long range submarines warning all nations, 'Strike at us. and we will strike where you live, and you will never forget us." That, with all due respect to pacifists, is the program for this country." Again we cry, "How long, 0 Lord, how long" will man persist in his blindness? G. H. M.

Picture a ship-wrecked sailor, cast by boisterous waves upon the shore of an uninhabited island. After assuring himself that he is unhurt, he searches anxiously for his comrades, but finds no trace of them. He calls their names, but the chatter of the birds or the roar of the wind among the trees is his only answer. He gazes over the vast waves, but no sign of human life does he see. "But I thought this was an editorial," a puzzled reader exclaims at this point in the story, laying down the CLOCK TOWER in bewilder- ment. "Surely the printshop has made a horrible mistake." Not so, friend. Only have patience with the peculiar ramblings of an otherwise harmless editor. It is merely his way of giving vent to the feeling of desolation which sweeps over his spirit as one after another of his former friends say "No!" to his appeals for a proof of their regard for him. At the beginning of the school year, unsuspicious persons re- sponded with a hearty "Certainly," to the query, "Will you do me a favor?" But times have changed since then. As the weeks passed, the wary learned to answer, "What do you want me to do?" Try it. Ask the first person whom you meet in the halls tomorrow, "Will you and instinctively he has drawn back, fearing the familiar and dreaded question with which desperate editors have accosted him. Even an editor's smile is regarded with suspicion by the experienced, for they know that it may be the forerunner of a request to report chapel, church, or the like. Some students are of the opinion that such apparently innocent questions as "Are you going to the meeting to-night?" are a proof that the editor is seeking another victim. "I am, but I hate to admit it," was the very candid reply of one student. Fear of the editors is contagious. It has spread among those guilty of the knowledge of typewriting. Those unlucky students have learned, to their sorrow, that their services will be sought, sooner or later, by an editor who will coax, plead, or insist, according to the urgency of the situation. Yet it is not our intention to convey the impression that Union ites are deliberately indifferent to their responsibilities toward their school paper. Even those who view with dread the approach of an editor frequently accept assignments. Typists actually volunteer their services, meeting their appointments as faithfully as they would a class. We realize the good work that has been done by our con- scientious reporters. It is only by the co-operation of Unionites that the CLOCK TOWER Can exist. Remember, this is not an editors' paper. It belongs to its readers. Don't feel that you are doing the editors a favor when you accept an assignment. You are contributing toward your own paper. It you forget to bring in your article on time, you have detracted from your CLOCK TOWER. Editors are but human beings. It is manifestly impossible for them to be everywhere, and to know everything. Mistakes may occur in the make-up of the paper. For these we ask your pardon. You can help to make the CLOCK TOWER truly representative of Union Col- lege. Do cheerfully what may be asked of you. But go still further, "the second mile." The news items which our—no, your—reporters do not discover, bring to our office. Former students and alumni who send in reports will add much to the paper. And so the scene changes. One day a passing ship sees our forlorn mariner's signals, and a boat is sent ashore. His sad story is soon told. Within a few minutes he is safe on board the ship, sur- rounded by sympathetic passengers and sailors, and proffers of aid are being extended to him. So ends the story. B. McC.

Much has been said about his supposed atheism, and it is good to know that this great genius and great man felt the grip of another world. A certain university once offer- ed Will Rogers a degree. This was his sage reply: "What are you trying to do, make a joke out of college degrees? They are in bad enough repute as it is with- out handing 'em to comedians. I got too much respect for people that work and earn 'em to see 'em handed around to every notorious character." WEEK OF PRAYER AT UNION CLOSES FRIDAY (Continued from page one) so we have need of patience. If God's people had done their duty, as the Lord ordained, He could have come sooner, but we have turned back, as did the children of Israel when they were just about to go into the Promised Land. 'For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.' This movement will come to an end in just a little while. It is sure, because it is God's word, and God's word will not fail. Many verses are written to warn us not to be asleep, but to be prepared and ready for what is certain to come upon us." The speaker told this story: "A man in New England who worked hard all the week to earn money, would at the end of the week get into his boat and cross the lake to a town where he spent the time in gambling and drinking. When his money was spent he was accustomed to getting in his boat and rowing till he found himself back at home. One night, after such an experience, he got into his boat and rowed for hours, but could not figure out why he didn't reach home as usual. At dawn he discovered that he had forgotten to untie the rope from the tree. "Many people today are tied to shore," said Pastor MacGuire, "and one cannot go into the kingdom like that. If you get there, it will not be a happen-chance, but because you buckle on the armor and know that you are going forth to meet the powers of darkness, strengthened by the angels and the spirit of God to meet them. This act, connected with faith in God, will carry us through to final vic- tory and triumph. Every man who en- ters heaven will enter as a conqueror. It may be necessary for God to let us go through hard places; but there is a crown laid up for those who do go through. Pray God to put in your heart a determination, that no matter what comes, you will stand for God." " 'The just shall live by faith.' We need more young people who have faith," he continued. "Don't be afraid of the opinions of the people around you. I appeal to you to put yourselves in the hands of God and rely on nothing else. What we need is more men and women who are leaders, with principles and backbone to stand for Jesus where they are. God uses and blesses such people. " 'Now the just shall live faith; but if any man draw back, My soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto per- dition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.' Let us be of that class that is resolved, by His grace, to go right forward and improve every op- portunity and become useful in the serv- ice of God," urged Pastor MacGuire. WM.

Ferris, of the Lincoln fire de- partment, presented the importance of fire prevention and the necessity of fire- drills in the Monday chapel hour. "The fire business gets to be a little dry some- times," he said, "But do you know that each person in the United States pays four dollars a year for fire tax? Of course, it isn't paid directly, but on every article a person buys he is indirectly paying part of that tax, for that is the annual fire loss per capita in this coun- "In Europe, however, the fire loss is less than forty-four cents per person each year. The rate is so low because of the personal liability law, which holds every citizen responsible for a fire which breaks out on his property. When a fire occurs, the owner of that building is arrested and tried for carelessness. The burden of the proof of his innocence rests upon him. If he is unable to do this, he is fined and imprisoned, and in addition must pay the fire department for putting out the fire. If his neighbor's house has caught from his own, he must also pay for that. So, you see, fire is an ex- pensive luxury in Europe. "Ninety per cent of our fires are due to carelessness. In this country we loose $563,000,000 a year by fire. There has been a house burning every minute of the day and night since 1920. Do you wonder that the United States is known as the most careless nation in the world?" Mr. Ferris stated that the Uuion Col- lege buildings had been thoroughly in- spected, and that, considering their age, few fire hazards had been found. Yet it is very important, he said, that students should have frequent fire-drills in order to know how to get out of buildings without becoming panic-stricken. He de- clared that panic many times causes more deaths than fire itself, for pushing and crowding and falling may cause many to be trampled to death. A fire-drill, Mr. Ferris announced, would be given at the conclusion of the chapel period. In the future, he said, the drills would be conducted in Union College once a week while the weather permits, and then once every thirty days. The students were instructed to pass to their classrooms, and wait for the siren to blow, then to leave quietly, quickly, and in an orderly way by the nearest exit. The students gathered again in the chapel after the drill, and were heartily commended for the way in which the drill, had been carried out. Mr. Ferris said that the building was cleared in two minutes and ten seconds, another fifteen seconds being taken to clear the fire escapes. "That is the best fire drill, for a first-time drill, that I have seen since I have been on the department, boys and girls," he said. Cream of the Magazines Well, the jazz age is just about over. That is, these youth are turning conser- vative and undertaking a new morality to replace the one the older generation has lost. That is the belief of Christian Gauss, Dean of College at Princeton, who analyzes the new attitude of college youth toward the world in his article en- titled "The New Morality in the Col- leges" in the November issue of Scrib- ners. Since Mr. Gauss is so closely bound to the campus, his contribution to the new poplar study of what the younger generation is thinking about is well worth your attention. "College education, like Listerine and the radio, has found its way into every American home." With those words Charles Emery Hyde introduces his ar- ticle, "The Second Story." It is found in the October-December issue of the Sewanee Review. He states that the pur- pose of the article .is to help these baffled parents in their quest for the ideal col- lege, and so he has culled from current catalogues of many institutions much val- uable information. If any of our students have thought that Union College is very severe in her regulations, I recommend that they read this article. Charles Stelzle, a prominent sociolo- gist and worker for co-operation between labor unions and churches, says that evangelism at one time was a potent force in American life; today it is rarely taken seriously by sophisticated adults. He offers some suggestions as to the cause of this decline •in interest along with some remedies in his article, "The Evangelist in Present-Day America," in Current History for November. The other day we heard an economist predict that of the six or seven million Americans who are out of work, a sub- stantial majority will probably never be steadily employed again. That statement brutally called attention to the vast signi- ficance of what is known as technolog- ical unemployment. Our machines and our science of management have made us so efficient that there is no longer enough work to go around. Perhaps the econ- omist will be found to have guessed as badly as some of his colleagues guessed in 1928-1829, and the bogey of tech- nological unemployment will vanish. But it seems more likely that even when bet- ter times come, we shall have to meet the problem created by our efficiency by spreading out our work among more people—in other words, shorter hours. The American people are going to have more leisure whether achieved or thrust upon them. How much a boon is leisure? what sorts of leisure are rewarding, what are not? These are the questions which Floyd H. Allport, professor of social and po- litical psychology at Syracuse university, answers in the leading article of the November Harper's. "IF" FOR YOUTH If you can live as youth today is living And keep your feet at such a dizzy pace; If you can greet life's subtleties with candor And turn toward all its cares a smil- ing face; If you can feel the pulse of youthful vigor Beat in your veins and yet yourself subdue; If you can see untruth knee-deep about you And still to God and home and self be true; If you can cross the brimming flood of folly, And not dip from the stream to quench your thirst; If you can note life's changing scale of values, And still in your own life keep first things first; If you can feel the urge of disobedience, Yet yield yourself to conscience's rigid rule; If you can leave untouched the fruit forbidden, And daily learn in virtue's humble school; If you can play the game of life with honor, And, losing, be inspired to strive the more, If you can teach men how to live life better, The world will beat a foot-path to your door. —Selected. Entertain Reformatory Men Once a month is "humor night" with Walter Howe's Gospel Seminar group which visits the State Reformatory each Thursday evening.

Henry Ford's hourly income is sufficient to keep 25 students at Union College for a whole year. No comment needed! When questioned as to the re- lation between Christian faith and social problems, Cardinal New- man, famed author of that grand hymn "Lead, Kindly Light," re- plied, "I have never considered social questions and their relation to faith, and have always looked upon the poor as objects of pity and compassion." Apparently, deep religious convictions do not always have a connection with practical Christianity. Fred Lee - - A. K.

Union College Press THE CLOCK TOWER PAGE THREE WEEK OF PRAYER STIRS STUDENTS By B. McC. The Week of Prayer which has just closed has been different. Pastor Mac- Guire's lessons on the necessity of the indwelling presence of Christ in every heart have been a revelation to many. "Christ is everything. He is in the fore- ground of every experience," has been the thought emphasized again and again. Jesus Christ has been presented as the answer to every question. In accordance with the usual schedule for the classes during the Week of Prayer, daily exercises were conducted. The eve- ning meetings, as Pastor MacGuire ex- plained in the service of Sunday evening, were for those who choose to come volun- tarily seeking something for which they were willing to pay the price. After-meet- ings were held each evening, at which opportunity was given the students to ask questions concerning any phase of the studies which was not clear to them. Of fully as great importance as the general meetings was the personal work done by Pastor MacGuire. Some of the greatest results of the week came from his private interviews with the students. His personality is one which inspires con- fidence. His experiences during his thirty years of work with young people en- abled him to help them solve their prob- lems. His counsel, the decisions made, and the prayers offered in those private conferences cannot soon be forgotten by the numbers who consulted him. "It is very important to know that we know Christ," Pastor MacGuire declared in one of the early meetings of the week. "A mere knowledge of doctrines is not enough. To believe in Christ means more than an assent to the historical fact that Christ, the Son of God, lived on this earth. Even the devils believe that. Be- lieving in His name is synonymous with receiving Him. John says, 'Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God.' Until you know that Jesus is come in your flesh you do not have experimental knowledge of Him. The promises of Jesus' first coming were explicit, and were fulfilled exactly. Why cannot we take these promises just as literally? "This new experience of Christ within leads to new love for the Bible, a greater sensitiveness to sin, and a greater love for souls," he said. "Our spiritual devel- opment is in accordance with the vivid- ness of our sense of this companionship. "Real Christianity is a delight, not merely a refraining from the things we would like to do." Pastor MacGuire re- lated experiences of actual answer to prayer. Many times, he said, the promise in Psalms 37, "Delight thyself also in the Lord, and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart," had been proven true in his own life. Pastor MacGuire spoke of the resol- ution made by some Christians to do as they believe Jesus would do were He in their place. He pointed cut the im- possibility of their knowing how Jesus would act under all circumstances, if they have only imagination to guide them. "There is a way to know what Jesus SOUTH HALL NEWS Wayne Brown has moved from South hall to the village. Mr. Strausser spent the week-end at his home in Missouri. Much to the satisfaction of the young men, Pastor MacGuire changed his resi- dence from North to South hall last Wednesday. The young men of South hall are tak- ing quite an interest in the program to be given Saturday night. The program should be very good. William Barclay's kitten; which he in- tends to keep in the bakery, has been causing a little disturbance among the young men at South hall. Howard Johnson is the newly appointed superintendent of the South hall hospital on fourth floor. One of Mr. Johnson's first patients was Stansbury Gable, who was confined to his room for a few days last week. Dean Kime, backed by public senti- ment, has suggested that the rising bell is early enough for most of the young men, and that the musicians in the dormi- tory, vocal and instrumental, postpone their morning concerts until after the bell has rung a prelude. Mrs. Hamilton spent the week-end with her husband, Mr. Hamilton, at South hall. Mrs. Hamilton is nursing at the Veterans' hospital in Lincoln. Because of the Week of Prayer the usual meeting of the Young Men's club was postponed. would do were He in your place," he continued. "Your relation to Jesus is to be identical with the relation which Jesus in His humanity sustained to the Father. We arc told in the Spirit of Prophecy that 'If we consent, He will so identify Himself with our thoughts and aims that, when obeying Him, we will be but carry- ing out own impulses.' Of special interest to those students looking forward to a place in the denom- inational work was the story of one young man's self-supporting missionary work. "I believe God calls every young man and woman who knows this mes- sage to give himself wholly to its pro- clamation. If you qualify yourself spirit- ually, I know that you will firld a place, although perhaps not on the denomina- tional payroll. r believe God has a place in His work for you, if you will get your life ready," he declared. In his study regarding the Christian's death to sin, he drew a distinction be- tween sin and sins. Sins, he said can be forgiven if repented of and confessed. Sin, the inherent tendency to do wrong, cannot be overcome without the help of Christ. "We enter into spiritual life only through carnal death," Pastor MacGuire asserted. Two types of sinners were described. "One class," he said, "consists of those who are conscious of their sins. The others are not conscious of any great sins, yet have a longing for something which they do not posses. When the sinner sees Christ, his sinful condition will become evident to him, and he will recognize the necessity of living a per- fect life. You believe in imperfection just to the extent that you have sins in your life." In the last chapel service of the Week of Prayer, Pastor MacGuire stressed the necessity of a complete consecration of body, heart, and mind to Chest. "If you do this," he said, "it will settle the ques- tion of novels, jazz, idle words, amuse- ments, and all those other questions which have troubled you. Such a consecration takes in everything. Then you will have the reality. Christ will give Himself to you just as fully as you give yourself to Him. "Some want to keep their own control, but this is impossible. All are either under the control of Christ or of Satan. You may choose which is to be your master. The only defense against evil is the in- dwelling presence of Christ." A number accepted the invitation given that morn- ing to static) in testimony of their deter- mination to give themselves "clear away to Jesus." One feature of the meetings has been the absence of long talks, and of ex- tended appeals for students to take a stand. The message has been presented in a way to cause careful thinking, and the responsibility of decision has been placed upon the individuals. There has been no question of following the ex- ample of others. Those who gave found a new experience during the past week have been those who were impressed by the Spirit of God with a lack in their Christian experience, and who have taken the steps necessary to secure what they needed. MRS. BRYAN-OWEN DELIGHTS AUDIENCE societies and organizations, all striving for the betterment of the country," she said. As to the place of the woman in American life to-day, Mrs. Owen is very certain her place is in the home. "But," said the speaker, "the home is no longer within four walls. The woman of to-day has done but the very smallest part of her duty if she does no more than keep her house tidy and clean. For to-day the family lives not in the house alone, but in a great area which can best be conceived as the distance a motor car will carry one in a day. Our children are everywhere. "Women must see that is it safe for their children to go where they desire. If she has to go into politics to accom- plish her aims, she must, with no more ado. Woman must protect her family, and a certain measure of protection can come only through public action and work in public life." Mrs. Owen, who represents the largest congressional district in the country in standpoint of mileage, and also one of the most populous, has spent a great portion of her time working for the pro- tection of children and widowed mothers. One of her most successful ideas has been one whereby a "best citizen" is picked by popular ballot and the county superintendent to represent the high schools of each of the thirty-six counties in her district. A group so composed, with boys and girls represented, is taken to Washington every year by Mrs. Owen. There they are shown the working of the United States government, and are made to see their duty to the country. "Jesus did not contend for His rights." D. A., p. 89. Chester Barger Speaks at Church Prayer Bands At a quarter of eight every Sabbath morning, the Men's Prayer band meets in the north vestry of the church. Last Sabbath, Chester Barger spoke on the subject, "What Are You Worth?" He brought out the thought that each of us must dedicate our lives fully to the Mas- ter in order to be of most worth to our- selves, to our families and others about us, to our church, and to God. The Prayer band extends a cordial invitation to all the men of the college. Its meetings are well worth-while and the period of devotion and communion with God early each Sabbath helps to bring a fuller blessing throughout the day. ACADEMY NOTES Maude McDonald, Mr. and Mrs. Lee Fickess and children, of Greenleaf, Kan- sas, arrived in College View, Saturday afternoon, October 31, to visit friends. Miss McDonald was a sophomore in the Union College Academy last year. Mr. Fickess, a graduate from Union Col- lege last year, is the principal of the high school at Greenleaf. The Academy has a new member. Walter McCrilles of Lincoln, registered November 2, for English TV and Span- ish I. Rosa Lee Hassenflug gave a talk en- titled "A Great Literature from a Small People" to the English IV class Tues- day, November 3. This was the sixth of by members of the English IV class. Miss Leah Peterson gave a book re- view in English III class Monday, No- vember 2. Lucille Wallace and Dorothy Dawson of Shelton, Nebraska, were week-end visitors in College View. The teachers' institute was the chief attraction for these visitors. Mrs. Johnson, one of the faculty mem- bers of Shelton academy, visited her daughter, Irene Schmidt, over the week- end. Nellie Martin, Hazel Gray, and Eunice Dunn, all of Shelton, spent Sun- day visiting friends in College View.

The secretary's re- port was read in German by the secre- tary, Harry Turner. Miss Ortner told the members of the club that some new German song books had been ordered for them. The German club plans to do a great deal of singing, for Professor Hanhardt said that the Germans are uoted for their singing. The first number on the program was the song, "Die Lorelei," sung by the club, It was a bit hard for the first-year German students to pick up a Ge'rman books and try to sing words which they had never seen before, but they did their best. The remainder of the program was a very clever dialogue given in the Ger- man language by Clyde Bushnell, presi- dent, and Carl Specht, assistant secretary. Mr. Bushnell played the part of a doc- tor and Mr. Specht that of the patient. Each was fittingly costumed to repre- sent his part in the dialogue. The patient described his method of spending his time, and confessed that he ate a great deal, weighing two hundred twenty pounds. The doctor prescribed a diet for him, and gave him a bottle of of medicine. After having paid twenty for the counsultation, the patient left, murmuring that he would rather die in four weeks than follow out the doc- tor's orders. 0 College View Cab Company Is Open for Business The College View Cab company, a branch of the Lincoln Cab company, has located in College View, and is open for business.

ENGEL AND GERNET ON CONCERT TOUR Give Programs at Iowa Sanitarium and At Plainview Academy Mr. Engel, violinist, and Mr. Gernet, pianist, of the Union College Music de- partment, and Mr. Engel's daughter, Clayoma, gave two concerts during the latter part of the first week in Novem- ber, visiting Iowa, Minnesota, and South Dakota, and covering a total distance of 1200 miles. The first concert was pre- sented Thursday evening, November 5, at the Nevada, Iowa, sanitarium, to an audience which more than filled the chapel. The music critic of a local news- paper was present, and commented very favorably upon the program given. The second concert was given the fol- lowing Saturday night at the Plainview academy, Redfield, South Dakota, as the first number of the academy lyceum course. Many visitors were present from points more than a hundred miles dis- tant, and joined the students in giving the performers a most enthusiastic wel- come. The program consisted of groups by Professor Engel, Professor Gernet, vio- lin duets by Professor Engel and Clay- oma Engel, and, at Plainview academy, a quartette group in which Miss Bonnie Velhagen, cellist, joined with the others.

About ten men with their teams are employed doing the necessary grading and filling in. list of these would be too lengthy for publication here, but merely to name a few of them will give an idea of the calibre and quality of leadership which is being enlisted for this gathering: Dr. John R. Mott, formerly General Secretary of the National Committee of the YMCA and now Chairman of the International Missionary Council. Dr. Walter H. Judd, medical mission- ary in China during the past six years where his own hospital has been over- run seven times by Communist or bandit troops. Kirby Page, author, speaker, and edi- tor of The World Tomorrow. Paul W. Harrison, M. D., for over twenty years a medical missionary in Arabia. Dr. Samuel M. Zwemer, noted author- ity on the Mohammedan world. Dr. Robert E. Speer, Secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Pres- byterian church. There will also be leaders in the Chris- tian work of other countries such as Dr. T. Z. Koo, of China, and Dr. D. D. T. Jabavu of Africa. The Convention is the eleventh in a series of quadrennial conventions spon- sored by the Student Volunteer Move- ment, which for over forty years has stimulated college students to a more Intelligent attitude toward World Chris- tianity, and seeking recruits for Chris- tian service abroad. But the conference is in no sense limited to prospective missionaries. It will be through-going and thoughtful but not technical in its ap- proach. It is planned for all students who really propose to take the message of Christ seriously, and who are eager to do something to help make His re- sources available for a distressed world.

MOSLEM BELIEFS AND CUSTOMS DESCRIBED (Continued from page one) Another in the middle of a perfectly civil conversation, said, "Do you know what I would do to you if it were not for the British government?" Mr. Oss said, "No." He said, "I'd kill you, but they protect you." As the Moslems do not eat unclean meat, they have a custom of spitting whenever the name swine is mentioned. When preaching, if Mr. Oss happened to mention swine, he could hear a hiss in the darkness as his audience spit on the ground. It is reported that the Mos- lem cooks always spit on the bacon be- fore they prepare it for the British offi- cers. The mosque at Delhi usually houses about 10,000 people every Friday. Its acoustic properties are wonderful. One Moslem explained to Mr. Oss that he gave him Harvest Ingathering money because he believed in Jesus as a proph- et. Mr. Oss closed his talk by telling the audience that he wished they would open their pocket books just as wide as the Moslem trousers, which were two yards across. BIBLE STUDIES GIVEN IN SPANISH HOME seventh day of the week. Miss Brebner gave him a brief explanation of the change of the Sabbath. His questions will be answered more fully at the next meet- ing, which will also he conducted in Spanish. Sometimes neither Miss McCwnsey nor Miss Brebner could think of the correct Spanish word or idiom, and they were compelled to turn to the women for help. The young women enjoyed giving the gospel in another language than English, and they said it seemed like real mis- sionary work. We Bible workers are supposed to be Wisdom personified. Imagine going to a home and having the great-grandmother ask if putting a copper wire around her ankle would stop a cramp in her leg,, or if it would be better to tie the liver of a black cat over it. We recommended hot fomentations, and the next week she told us she had tried the wire and fomenta- tions and that she thought the copper wire had cured her. Last week Sophia Van Buskirk and I gave a study on the "Victorious Life," but in addition we told the old Negro lady how to care for her great-grand- son's cold. The week before, it was information on meat substitute dishes that she desired. She has discontinued the use of pork. Really, students, your souls would thrill to hear the earnest prayers of this old lady. She thanks God "for these girls that have come to give her more light." She often reminds the Lord of how much she loves Him and how much she wants to be saved. She was invited to attend a revival last week, but she told her friend that she didn't keep Sunday any more, and that she did not care to go. She said, "I just told her that you girls had learned me more about the Bible than anybody else ever did, and that I liked what you taught me the best. - She can neither read nor write, but she is eager to learn. Whether negro, Spanish, or Italian, they are all interesting, and one feels that he has really spent a profitable Sab- bath after teaching them the gospel.

"The best men are not those who wait for chances, but those who take them." BY ROBERT M. When we think of the Civil War, we think of it in terms of bloody war- fare between the "blue" and the "grey," the Northern soldiers fighting against for- mer countrymen of the South. Those en- gagements which seem the most impor- tant were Gettysburg, the capture of Vicksburg, Sherman's march to the sea, and Lee's surrender at Appomatox. These were important and glorious victories for the Union. All of the great battles, how- ever, were not fought on the land. Per- haps the most important engagement of the war was the one which took place on the sea. The battle of the iron-clads, the con- flict between the Merrimac and the Mon- for, was tremendously important. When the war broke out, it found the Federal navy ill prepared and ill organized for a great struggle. The material was in- sufficient in quantity and inferior in qual- ity. More ships had to be built, for the North planned to block the Southern ports. This blockade. if it was success- ful, would contribute greatly to "strang- ling" the South. More ships were built and the blockade was established. It was the Confederacy, it seems, who first real- ized the importance of an iron-clad ves- sel. They raised the Merrimac, which the North had abandoned in Hampton Roads, and converted it into an armoured ship. She was trimmed down and her sides plated with iron two inches thick. This made a most formidable vessel. It was not long before the North had also constructed an iron-clad known as the Monitor, invented by John Ericson. It was really completed before the Mer- rimac, but did not reach the scene of battle till after the Southern vessel was at work. The Monitor was a small craft which rested in the water almost en- tirely submerged. Her armament consisted of a revolving turret containing two guns which might be fired in any direction. On March 8, 1862, the Merrimac steamed down the Elizabeth river for Newport News. During that day they rammed and sunk the Cumberland, set on fire and sunk the Congress, grounded and damaged the Minnesota by shell fire, and caused other ships to seek cover, as none could stand against her. She would have finished the Minnesota also, WHITSETT but night came too soon. After this vic- torious day the South rejoiced. It now seemed possible to them that blockade could be broken. The Merrimac steam- ing up and down the Northern coast could destory their harbors. It was even decided that the iron-clad should go up the Potomac and capture Washington and thereby bring the Union to her knees. By this time Great Britain would recog- nize Confederate independence and give aid. On March 9, the Merrimac again steamed for Newport News to finish the work which she had begun the day be- fore. As she was maneuvering to get at the Minnesota, she was suddenly surpris- ed to see a small craft, the Monitor, ob- structing her path. It looked easy to de- feat her, but they soon learned that she was not vulnerable to shell fire. The Monitor fired her eleven inch guns, the shells glancing off the Merrimac but deal- ing a heavy blow. The ship was shaken from stem to stern, an experience entirely new to her. They fought back and forth most of the day, at the end of which no decision was reached. The Merrimac had to draw off, however, for repairs, She had lost her iron prow, starboard anchor, all her boats, her armour was dislocated and damaged, she leaked considerably, steam pipe and smokestack were riddled, the muzzle of two of her guns was knocked away. The injuries of the Monitor con- sisted of a part of the turret broken, and her commander, Lieutenant Worden, was injured by the last shot. The fondest dreams of the Confederacy collapsed. The Monitor had saved the Union in the battle which now appears to be the most important event of the war. It proved to the world that wooden ships were a thing of the past, and that iron-clads would take their place. To be blind when other are looking for trouble. To be dumb when others are messing in scandal. To be pushing when others are hunt- ing for pulls. To be tolerant when others are con- tentious. To be charitable when others are caught in mistakes.
