Students Hike to Antelope Park in Spite of Weather By MARSHALL ROCKWELL The cold, gray dawn of what should have been a bright spring morning on the last day of vacation saw twelve hap- py young people, well wrapped in sweat- ers and gloves, leave North Hall and string out .in a procession to the north. Those who had not found a skillet or kettle to carry were well armed with in- door balls and bats, so if you had seen us you might have correctly surmised that we were headed for a picnic break- fast. The cold air served perfectly as a stimulant to remove the last vestige of a yawn, to quicken our steps, and to double our appetites long before we reached our destination, Antelope Park. Professor Hilts and Harry Turner, with the assistance and advice of Mrs. Hilts, built fires in the two stoves like veteran picnickers, and while the cocoa boiled over one fire, the hotcakes began to pile up beside the other. It didn't take a bell to call folks to breakfast. There was a spontaneous response to the announce- ment that everything was waiting to be eaten. Sue Russell and Ted Spanos, by fast work, kept up with the call for hot- cakes, and Ada Williams heroically dip- ped cocoa until there wasn't left a drop in the bucket. It was long after Jean- ette McKibben had mixed the second batch of dough that the hotcake-hungry crowd was satisfied and business around the stoves began to slacken. Then the ball and bat came in for their share of attention and it was soon proved that the best way to keep warm away from the fire on a cold day is to (Continued on next page) STUDENT CAMPAIGN PROGRAM IS GIVEN Two Students Give Reasons for Attending Union and Benefits Received at Union "The chief reason for my coming to Union was a desire to serve my Master, to honor him, and to learn to teach as He would teach," stated Ellen Swayze in the student campaign program given at the Wednesday chapel hour. "Union Col- lege gives a training to be a more cul- tured teacher, and broadens our view," the speaker said. "I want to learn the 'do's' of Seventh-day Adventists youth instead of the "clones,' and to learn how to spend Sabbath afternoons. I want to have a good time as Christ would have me, and show other people that Christ is a friend to all. Our friends can't af- ford to miss the opportunity to come to Union College, and we should tell them about Union when we go home," Miss Swayze declared.

L. House. He used for his text Christ's prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, "Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but Thine, be done." The speaker pointed out that such a prayer was not an easy one, but that it gave the Saviour strength to go to Calvary, where He settled the destiny of the human family and opened up the door of salvation to mankind. "But what about the three disciples whom He left to watch and pray?" Pas- tor House asked. "Christ, who was carry- ing a world of suffering and woe, ex- pressed much tender compassion, pity, and charity in excusing the sleeping dis- ciples. If they had watched that hour with Jesus and had heard His prayers and agonizing cries, they, too, would have been strengthened and kept from denying their Lord when the test came. What an opportunity for the disciples that hour in the garden might have been. But when the mob came, Jesus said, 'This is your hour,' A time comes when it is too late to pray or to get victory, and the power of darkness closes in.

VI COLLEGE VIEW, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, APRIL 14, 1932 No. 29 College Seniors Display Class Colors Wednesday Last Wednesday the seniors appeared in their class colors—American Beauty and Cream. The colors are made into a rosette about one and one-half inches in diameter, and streamers of about six inches. The class did not parade in their colors this year as has been the custom in the past, but very unconcernedly wore them during the day. A few of the seniors have entered their order for a class pin. The announcement has been chosen, and the orders sent in. The various committees apointed to plan for senior activities and graduation exercises are busy at their respective tasks. 0 GROUP VISITS AT ENTERPRISE ACADEMY Musicians Play at Meetings and Present a Varied Program In the Evening A group of musicians from the Union College School of Music visited Enter- prise academy in Kansas last week-end. Those making the trip were Professor and Mrs. Sterling K. Gernet, Professor C. C. Engel and daughter Clayoma, Del- la Kremer, Olivia Harder, Ada Town- send, and Wallace Nethery. The following program was given Sat- urday evening: "Semiramide Overture" by Rossini and "Country Gardens" by Grainger were played by the orchestra composed of Professors Gernet and En- gel, Della Kremer, Clayoma Engel, and Wallace Nethery. The second group consisted of four violin solos by Professor Engel with Pro- fessor Gernet at the piano: "Liebesfreud" by Kreisler, "Indian Lament" by Dvorak, "Indian Snake Dance" by Burleigh, and "Valle in A-Flat" by Brahms-Hochstein. Professor Gernet gave two piano num- bers, "The Eleventh Rhapsody" by Liszt and "G-Flat Waltz" by Chopin. These were followed by three selections by the orchestra: "'The Mill" by Raff, "Minuet in G" by Beethoven, and "Polonnaise (Continued on page four) Making Pen-Friends Is Interesting Hobby BY GLORA BRUCE I have often wondered why we never hear anything about hobbies in some of the CLOCK TOWER articles. I am sure Union has her share of stamp collectors and hunters of antiques. I think my hobby is much more inter- esting than those. Mine is making pen- friends in foreign countries. Several years ago I read a letter in the Junior Etude from a New Zealand girl. I wrote to her and that is how my hobby began. Now my pen-friends are in several countries. Often some one asks, "What do you write about where you don't know them?" Some of our most common things interest them greatly. For instance, my friend in Ireland was surprised that I live in a wooden house. Theirs are of stone. There are other attractions besides the long interesting letters. We exchange pressed leaves and flowers, stamps, needlework, and I have even received samples of "sweets" from New Zealand (Continued on next page) MISSIONARIES AID IN BIBLE STUDIES Intense Interest Manifest in Subject of The Spirit of Prophecy Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Christianson, re- turned missionaries from Peru, accom- panied the Bible workers' group to Lin- coln last Sabbath. The study given by Bessie McCumsey and Hazel Brebner in a Spanish home, in response to questions asked a week ago, was on the subject of the manifestation of the spirit of pro- phecy in the remnant church, a topic in which the inquirers showed sincere in- terest. Following the study Mr. and Mrs. Christianson spent a few minutes talking with them. The Spanish people seemed to enjoy greatly an opportunity to talk with someone who speaks their own lan- guage fluently, and cordially invited them to come again, saying, "Nuestra pobre casa es suya. Somos pobres, pero (point- ing to the Bible) tenemos aqui lo que vale mas que mucho dinero." They were much interested to find out that Mrs. Christianson teaches Spanish to "las se- noritas" who come each Sabbath to teach them the Bible. Luella Coleman studied with a woman at a nearby home where she has recently (Continued on page three) By ONE The Union College Vocal Ensemble, accompained by Stanley Ledington, direc- tor, and Esther Lorntz Ledington, soloist, returned Wednesday, April 6, from a five- day concert tour through Iowa and Min- nesota. Well-filled churches and hospit- able homes greeted them at each place. A goodly number of students are expected next year as a result of their trip. Four cars containing the eighteen mem- bers of the vocal ensemble and Professor and Mrs. Ledington left Friday morning, April 1, for Des Moines, Iowa, where they had charge of Young People's meet- ing that night. The ensemble sang three numbers on this program. Two solos were given by Doris Kirstein and Harold Schmidt. Ermina Powell read the poem, "The Barometer," which pointed out the fact that matters of feeling and think- ing are portrayed in the face. Pastor Hughes, who went along as a driver, gave a talk on conditions of living in China. His revelations concerning the social life there greatly impressed the audience, not so fortunate as Unionites in being able to hear words directly from our missionaries. Sabbath morning the vocal ensemble and Professor Ledington gave a sacred The return of legal liquor drinking was ushered in April 5 in Finland, for the first time in 13 years. While the federal tax problem gets the limelight, the truth of the matter is that the tax systems of our states and cities present an even more serious situation and one that is far more in need of revi- sion and reorganization. The cities of the U. S. which spend a total of seven billion dollars a year, are relying for 93 per cent of their revenues on the general property tax, while the states, which spend approximately two billions a year, are relying on the general property tax for 32 per cent of their receipts. A special grand jury to investigate charges that Al Capone and his hoodlums are using terrorist tactics to control next week's primary elections, has been or- dered in Chicago. The United States government has operated on a budget system less than a dozen years out of one hundred and fifty. The question of communism in central China absorbed the interest of the League of Nations' inquiry commission during its visit at Hankow, China, more than any- thing else except, possibly, the flood re- lief work. It is estimated there are at least '60,000 communists in Hupeh prov- ince. The most powerful group is under the command of Gen. Ho Lung, feared throughout China. Members of Junior Class Are Given Entertainment Dr. and Mrs. N. E. Dick entertained the members of the junior class in their home Monday afternoon, April 10. Clev- er souvenirs consisting of memory books were presented to each one. Prizes were won by Ada Williams, Ruth Wiest, Mar- graret Reynolds and Joe Corrigan. Re- freshments of cake and ice-cream were served. Those enjoying Dr. and Mrs. Dick's hospitality were: Luella Coleman, Fannie Jones, Nell Beem, Lydia Sonnenberg, Ruth Gardner, Ada Williams, Leeta An- derson, Nora Lankford, Lydia Reinmuth, Margaret Reynolds, Russell Valentine, Joe Tucker, Daniel McAdams, Ernest Hanson, and Joe Corrigan. "Be a live wire, and you won't get stepped on."—Selected. Marching behind bands, more than a thousand veterans went to the capitol with a truckload of petitions urging cash pay- ment of the bonus, and were promised by a majority spokesman of the house and the senate that their plea would receive consideration. A million dollar cut in the appropria- tion for prohibition enforcement was re- ported to have been agreed upon by the senate appropriation subcommittee charged with reducing the justice de- partment supply bill by 10 per cent. The four-power conference of Great Britain, France, Germany, and Italy, called by Prime Minister MacDonald to consider means of extending financial aid to the nations on the Danube, ended without having reached an agreement. Reed Harris, expelled student-editor of the Columbiau niversity Spectator, plans to sue the institution. The suit is in the nature of a test of the right of the uni- versities to expel students, and will de- mand about $100,000. Harris, whose edi- torials have aroused bitter controversies, was expelled after he attacked the food and management at a college dining hall. A protest strike of students caused a riot. Proclamation of martial law through- out Chile was expected momentarily after the country's economic plight and poli- tical unrest had caused the resignation (Continued on page three) Group Enjoy Early Break- fast at Sleepy Hollow About 6:30 Thursday morning, April 7, a group of Union College students hiked out to Sleepy Hollow. The sun was shining brightly and it was just the morning for an early morning breakfast. Arriving at Sleepy Hollow, the boys built a hot fire and potatoes and eggs were fried, and served with buns and hot postum. Everything tasted so good. A game of baseball was played and then the group of hikers returned to the col- lege. Those who went on the hike were Luella Coleman, Lucile Fleming, Mildred Priest, Marguerite Priest, Ruth Gardner, Gladys Huffman, Henry Preston, Everett Coleman, Vernon Becker, Dave Olson, Daniel McAdams, Ernest Hansen, Miss Couch and Miss Olson. Friends Honor Bride-To-Be By Giving Luxury Shower Miss Elsie Eggert was honored by a luxury shower at the home of Miss Doris Kruse on Sunday, April 10. She was pre- sented with many beautiful and useful gifts. The afternoon was agreeably spent playing games. Following the games and the presentation of the gifts refreshments were served. Those present were the Misses Glora Bruce, Lydia and Esther Sonnenberg, Gladys Lair, Margaret Gillaspie, Lucile Miller, Ellen Robertson, Esther House, Aletha Holmes, Margaret Idamae and Dorothy Nelson, and Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Sofsky. HOMILETICS CLASS VISIT CHURCHES Sabbath Services Are Conducted By Members of the Class at Several Churches Spring vacation caused a change in the usual activities of the Homiletics class. Lester Trubey took charge of the services at Nebraska City on Sabbath afternoon. He was assisted by Paul Miller. Chester Barger conducted services at Julian. Fred Williams and Louis Ferguson accompan- ied him. Transportation was furnished by Mr. Ferguson. The young men report a good interest at both these churches. "Eighteen hundred miles inland in China the past eight years have seen the changes and progress that took three thousand years in the western world. No one seeing these things can doubt the possibility or the probability of the very soon coming of Jesus," were the thoughts expressed by Pastor Alton Hughes at the Cortland church. The speaker stated that when he and his wife went into West China eight years ago they found cities and civiliza- tion of fully three thousand years ago. One city was without a wheel in it, be- cause it was built on a mountain, and the streets were steps, he said. - It was a city which knew nothing of what the world today calls civilization, although (Continued on page two) New Stamp Series Honors Washington During this Washington Bicentennial year, a series of Bicentennial postage stamps has been on sale in every United States post office since January 2, 1932. This series consists of twelve stamps, each of which carries a different portrait of Washington, reproduced from paint- ings made by the foremost artists of his time. The one-half cent stamp is dark brown and bears a likeness of Washington from a miniature painted by Charles Wilson Peale. The one cent, green in color, has a de- sign of Houdon's profile bust of Wash- ington, made in 1785. The original bust is kept at Mt. Vernon. The one and one-half cent stamp of light brown color contains a reproduc- tion of Peale's "Virginia Colonel" paint- ing of Washington in 1772. The original portrait is preserved at Washington and Lee university in Virginia. The two cent stamp is red in color re- producing Gilbert Stuart's Athenaeum (Continued on page two.) STUDENTS OF SOUTH- WEST ENJOY HIKE Appetizing Breakfast and Indoor Ball Game Make Hike Enjoyable BY HIKER What's a hike? Webster says some- thing about its being a long walk. That doesn't tell near the half of it. There's the fun on the way, the ball game, the stump speeches, and oh! yes, the eats. On this particular hike of the South- western group and a few of its friends, the breakfast consisted of pancakes, eggs, syrup, etc. Misses Van Buskirk, Swayze, Jewel, and Aleene Chase appeared to be chief cooks under the competent direc- tion of C. J. Dart. The ball game furnished more than ordinary excitement. Union had not had the opportunity of knowing before that it possessed this year such talented ball players among the girls. Our worthy leaders, Daniel McAdams and Clinton von Pohle, deserve special mention for their efforts in starting the ball rolling. Dr. Dick saved the ball players much suffering from the cold by lending his coat to them between turns to bat. Ensemble Completes Its Tour The Union College Vocal Ensemble Under the Direction Of Stanley Ledington Gives a Number of Suc- cessful Concerts in Iowa and Minnesota OF THEM musical concert during the regular preach- ing hour. It consisted of a capella sing- ing by the ensemble and solos by Mrs. Ledington. Pastor Hughes gave the mis- sion talk in Sabbath school. Everywhere appreciation and friend- liness were prevalent, perhaps more so after the concerts than before. At Hutch- inson, Minnesota, there was one excep- tion. Professor and Mrs. Ledington were met with the warmest of greetings by old friends and students who were ac- quainted with their talents. The ensemble found it necessary to prove their worth before they were accepted. Proven it must have been, for many were the hand- shakes and words of appreciation after every program given. Professor Leding- ton received notes complimenting him on the obedience of the ensemble to his ev- ery move. Applause was especially great after the boys sang their negro spirituals. The basses seemed to attract the most at- tention. The boys enjoyed singing "The Jolly Roger" as much as the audience enjoyed listening to it. The informality of the interpretation provided a diversion from the rest of the program. At Oak Park a trick was played on (Continued on page three) Weekly Review of World Affairs BY HAROLD LINCOLN SPRING WEEK OF PRAYER BEGINS Pastor Charles Thompson Holds First Meeting in College Chapel; Urges Faith WORSHIP COMBINED President Andreasen Speaks at the Eve- ning Service on the Simplicity of the Gospel The annual Spring Week of Prayer at Union opened Monday, April 11, with Pastor Charles Thompson in charge. Al- though the class schedules were not changed until Tuesday morning, two ser- vices were conducted on Monday, Pastor Thompson speaking at the morning cha- pel service and President Andreasen at the evening meeting. Beginning Tuesday and continuing throughout the week, classes were shortened to allow time for the meeting of the prayer bands immed- iately preceding the daily chapel ser- vices. Attendance at these bands was entirely voluntary, the students being al- lowed to visit any band which they chose. The introductory remarks in the morn- ing service were based upon Romans 1:- 7, 8, which the speaker read with a slight change to make the verses more applic- able to the students. Pastor Thompson declared that Unionites, just as truly as the Romans addressed in Paul's letter, could be called the "beloved of God." Commenting upon this fact, he pointed out that to be beloved of heaven is one of the greatest honors possible. "Your faith is known throughout the world, as was that of the Christians of Rome," he stated. "Through medical men (Continued on page two) GOAL DEVICE FOR S. S. INTRODUCED More Important to Give One's Life Than Money for Missions Says Pastor Roy The Union College Sabbath school is interesting even at vacation time. Last Sabbath the goal device for the new quar- ter was introduced, consisting of a train with twenty-two cars, each of which re- presented a class. The position which the car, or class, holds in the train de- pends upon its record in attendance, daily lesson study, and offerings. This is count- ed on a percentage basis, thus every class will be on the same footing. In the mission talk, Pastor R. J. Roy brought out the thought that although all should give of their money, it is of more importance to give their lives for the finishing of the work of God. The special music was a duet, "The End of the Road," by Mrs. Cornell and Mrs. Woodruff. The Summer Months Give Opportunity To the Canvasser By DANIEL MCADAMS The summer months will soon be here and many of us are wondering what line of work we are going to pursue. There are many different things which we might do, but will that thing which we might do help to scatter this message of love? This is a question to which we should give much thought and serious considera- tion. Some might think that there are no means by which we can tell others of Jesus and at the same time earn money to come back to school; but there has been a work provided, and that is the literature ministerial work. We should thank God for our truth-filled books and for the privilege of selling them. There are many agencies that are be- ing used to promulgate the gospel, and literature has proven to be one of the most effective and efficient. Ever since the printing press has been in use this has been true. During the Reformation of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, we find that the faithful colporteur played a large part in spreading the light. In France, when the staunch Huguenots were making their stand for right, the consecrated bookmen came up from Geneva, Switzerland, where Calvin was doing his wonderful work and slowly but surely scattered gospel literature throughout most of France. In Germany during Luther's time the "book peddler," as he was called, did much to plant the seed for the great re- ligious awakening. Centuries have now passed by, and this work is progressing and proving itself more and more each (Continued on page three) THE CLOCK TOWER Published every Thursday during the school year and monthly during the summer vacs. lion by the Student Publishing Association of Union College.

Undoubtedly many new friends have been made for the college. The visits made by such groups as the vocal ensemble are an en- couragement to the patrons of the college and an incentive to the young people in the field and in the academies. Many college students could say that these representatives of the college in past years were a considerable factor in influencing them to come to Union. Aside from the value of the ensemble simply as a musical organ- ization—and that is primary—it is no mean advertising medium. It gives tangible evidence of the class of work done at Union College. What has been said of the vocal ensemble applies also to the orchestra and the string quartet, which have made several tours this season. G. H. M. UNION IS READY The following editorial, taken from the CLOCK TOWER for April 14, 1927, is as true now as it was then. We are giving it in full: "Union should have five hundred college students next year. Why not? And there would be more too, if it were known more widely that Union offers to earnest students advantages second to none. "Did you know that the scholastic standard maintained at Union is widely recognized; that grades from this institution are questioned less, perhaps, than those from any of our sister colleges? We are accredited with the University of Nebraska and other universities, and consequently our students pass without difficulty of those places of higher learning. "A young lady from Canada, who was preparing for work in a foreign field, was asked why she came to Union; she replied that it was because Union was the only one of our colleges recognized by the Canadian government. "It should be known, also, that Union College graduates occupy many prominent positions in all parts of the world. They include two vice-presidents of division conferences, four conference presidents, three mission superintendents, six college presidents, and thirteen de- partment secretaries, besides a large number of workers acting in various responsible capacities. "The heads of departments and the other teachers of Union are eminently qualified for the positions they hold. This guarantees a high educational standard and public recognition. But this in no way detracts from the strong Christian influence that should be found in such an institution, as is assumed very often. In Union it is found that a correct educational standard is an adjunct of true Christianity. "Union College has not been advertised enough. The strong en- rolment campaigns made by other colleges have benefited them con- siderably, and a similar result would come to Union if we, as faculty and students, make it known far and near that we have faith in our college. If this college is good enough for you to teach in, it is good enough to boost for. If this college is good enough for you to attend as a student, it is good enough to bring others to. Our aim should be five hundred students next year." SPRING WEEK OF PRAYER BEGINS (Continued from page one) and ministers our faith is known every- where. Those who are helped give back some of the blessing which comes to them and thus the help is mutual." The latter part of the discourse was based upon Isaiah 40:1, 2. "Comfore ye, comfort ye, my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accom- plished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins." "The forgiveness of sins, then, was the message which the Lord wished published to His people," the speaker declared. "Sin is the most discouraging thing in the world, there- fore such a message as given to Isaiah would be a comforting statement. "Paul had no hesitation in preaching the gospel to both the wise and the un- wise," Pastor Thompson said, "for no matter how wise a man is, still there is no other way for him to obtain sal- vation but through the gospel. "Where sin abounds, grace does much more abound. There is nothing too hard for God. The fact that the God who has created man is the One who has redeemed him is being made the special point of attack by Satan today. Only a Creator can redeem. Both life and salva- tion come from Chirst. "Our sorrows do not spring out of the ground. God doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men. When He permits trials and affliction, it is for our profit, that we might be partakers of His holiness. If received in faith, the Washington in a general's uniform. The original, made in 1792, is now in Yale university. On the seven cent stamp, which is black with white edge and gray border, is a likeness of Washington in a colonial uniform as painted by Trumbull in 1780. The olive green eight cent stamp is a reproduction from a crayon drawing made by Charles Saint Memin in 1798, near the close of Washington's life. On the pink nine cent stamp, Wash- ington's portrait, taken from a crayon drawing made by Charles Saint Memin in 1798, near the close of Washington's life, is shown. The ten cent is orange in color and bears the likeness of Washington taken from one of Gilbert Stuart's paintings made in 1795. All the stamps in this series bear two dates, "1732" and "1932." —Adapted from the "Youth's Instructor." EVERY SOUL HAS ITS GETHSEMANE (Continued from page one) "Again, every soul has its Gethsemane. The mother watching her sick child, the wife at the cl.iath-bed of her husband, the gay young man or woman brought face to face with death, the lonely mis- sionary, the orphan, the father of a fam- ily without work—all these are experi- encing their Gethsemanes. Our own small Gethsemanes are to prepare us for the larger Gethsemane, the last scenes in the world's history, typified by Christ in the Garden. - If our religion does not humanize us enough to give us sympathy with human suffering, then we have not found re- ligion. This is no time to parley with sins. All have cases pending in the court of God. Perhaps if we could get a small glimpse of the judgement we would change some things in our lives. We must improve this hour of opportunity to watch and pray that we may be able to stand in that day." Pastor House closed by saying, "There is a brighter side beyond Gethsemane, Calvary, and the tomb. A triumphant Saviour came forth and called Christians everywhere to live the higher life. We, perhaps, cannot understand all the things which come to us now, but we can rest assured that they are best. If we are faithful overcomers, He will bring us at last safe to the kindom of God." STUDENT CAMPAIGN PROGRAM IS GIVEN (Continued from page one) Lowell Welch, president of the senior class, explained some of the things which Union College had done for him. "My years at Union have broadened my ex- perience by teaching me what is going on in the world," he said. "The associates here in college have brought me into con- tact with young people from every state in the Union and from several foreign countries. Union College gives foundation for reason and thought on which to build the future. "The ideas received from my classes can be used in solving my life problems in the best way. Then, Union College has given me new and greater strength, and a deeper and broader mind for the service of my Master." PAGE TWO THE CLOCK TOWER Chapel Study Period There is something uncanny about the silence regarding studying during the chapel hour. Perhaps that silence has some significance, who can tell? During a recent hour, several students in one row were indicating strong liter- ary tendencies in spite of the courageous opposition put up by a chapel speaker. The mathematically inclined can figure out the total number of those who were reading, bearing in mind that, peculiar as it may seem, no literary students chance to be in the first several rows from the front. There may be several causes for this phenomenon. Perhaps an examination is coming next period, although we had not observed any particular tendency on the part of examinations to group them- selves together on Mondays,Wednesdays, and Fridays. It may be that students of real ability should be able to work both their aural and visual senses at the same time. Possibly the speaker is dry—speak- ers have been known to get that way— and the student is setting up a reflex action to prevent his going to sleep—we mean the student. We repeat that the thing is uncanny, weird. It is too ghastly to last. HOMILETICS CLASS VISITS CHURCHES (Continued from page one) It had a form of its own that is not to be made light of," he stated. "But to- day, only eight years later, there are automobiles on the pavements of the same city, there are electric lights and power, there are motor bus lines running out in every direction, there are tele- phone and telegraph companies, and air- planes. "We thrill at the knowledge of a truth based upon sure prbphecies. The truths of the gospel were taken into China in the times of the apostle Paul, again by the Nestorian Christians, and again by the Catholics many years ago. It was each time rejected. But now the message is going to China by the missionaries of the last-day church. It cannot and will not fail, for it is reaching the hearts of the people. "What do these things mean in the land that changes not—this step from three thousand years ago to modern times in only seven or eight years?" continued Pastor Hughes. "It means that we are living in a time when Christ is prepar- ing to turn on the power. It means that His work can be finished in the lifetime of any of us living today. It means that we must reach soon that perfection called for in the 144,000, if we would expect to see our Lord. A false prophet's mess- age went to all China in two months. God can cut His work short in right- eousness. We must be ready." Little Arlene and Ross Hughes sang their Chinese songs while dressed in the costume of the land that has been home to them until the past year and to which they expect to return this coming sum- mer. The services at the Cortland church were in charge of Ben Hassenfiug, who was recently made elder of that church. The churches at Fremont, Blair, and Tekamah were visited by Ralph Cash, Ernest Hanson, Robert Lynn, and Wen- dell Graham. Mr. Lynn spoke at Te- kamah, Ralph Cash at Fremont, and Er- nest Hanson at Blair. Henry Preston, driving Mr. Oss's car, took a group of young men to Beatrice and Fairbury.

If you've ever doubted Pauline Wickwire's ability as a first-baseman, stop doubting. She is second to nobody, which also applies to Henrietta Reiswig as a pitcher. Profes- sor Hilts was so fast in the field that even Abe Lincoln's slugging availed him little. Like a lot of other good things the ball game couldn't last forever, so after a while we rejoined the less-athletically inclined of the group at the fire and started for home.

NEW STAMP SERIES HONORS WASHINGTON (Continued from page one) portrait of Washington. The original was made in 1796 and is now found in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. The purple three cent stamp bears a likeness of Washington in cocked hat and uniform of a general, which was tak- en from a portrait Peale painted at Valley Forge in 1777. The four cent stamp of warm brown reproduces another portrait painted by Peale in 1777. On the blue background of the five cent stamp appears a reproduction of Peale's painting of Washington in 1795, four years before his death, the original of which is owned by the New York His- torical society. The six cent stamp is orange in color and shows John Trumbull's painting of trial that seems so hard and bitter to bear will prove a blessing. The cruel blow that blights the joys of earth will be the means of turning our eyes to heaven. How many there are who would never have known Jesus had sorrow not led them to seek comfort in Him." Commencing with one of the texts in- troduced in the Monday chapel hour, President Andreasen spoke at the first evening meeting of the Week of Prayer on "The Simplicity of the Gospel." He pointed out that the gospel is so sim- ple that many are unable to understand it. In the place of the necessity of seek- ing God and of bringing sacrifices to Him before receiving forgiveness, the speaker emphasized the texts which de- scribe God already having forgiven sins, calling for all to return to Him. "God provided what He demanded, in Christ Jesus, - declared President Andrea- sen. "His love proved the satisfaction demanded by His law. God's call today is that of a father to a prodigal son or daughter, and all is forgiven. Come home! The prodigal son was never out of the mind of his father, who was continually watching for his return. While the young man was yet a great way off, his father recognized him and went to meet him. You do not need to hunt for God; He is hunting for you. We do not need to ask, "What must I do in order to be forgiven?' Christ on the cross paid the penalty. You are forgiven. As you turn to God you receive a personal forgive- ness. Accept joyfully what God has done for us." "All you have to do is believe that God, in Christ, has forgiven you. Not only can all sins be forgiven, but blotted out, and be as though they had not been. The cleansing from sin, so well typified in the ordinances of baptism, may be continual, a constant renewal of the mind, a constant dying to self ,so that we can say, 'The life I live is not mine, but that of Chirst Jesus; my Lord God for Christ's sake has forgiven you.' Be re- conciled to God, - urged President An- dreasen. 0 Do You Believe It? Easter Sunday came—and went. To the majority of the people who live in this land, it probably meant a signal to buy a new Easter bonnet, some fancy furbelows and an additional lace cuff or two. Queer, isn't it, how folk do think more of dressing their exteriors than they think of clothing their souls? And stranger still, it seems that those who have money more than sufficient to spend on silk and pearls, have not even a pittance to place on God's altar to make hearts happy with the love of Jesus. Is it wrong to dress well? No, but we wonder how many pray God to help them select their clothing sensibly. An editor of a church paper once said, "I never buy a hat, a necktie, or any piece of clothing without asking God to help me select what will be neat, sensible, and fitting for a Christian to wear." We as Christians can preach sermons by the clothing that we wear. The pen of Mrs. E. G. White has told us, "In dress, as in all things else, it is our privilege to honor our Creator: He desires our clothing to be not only neat and beauti- ful, but appropriate and becoming. A person's character is judged by his style of dress. A refined taste, a cultivated mind, will be revealed in the choice of simple and appropriate attire." Do you believe it? How much do you believe it— enough to make it a part of your life? Belief is a farce without action. —Sligonian. The Golden Cords BY WM. L. BARCLAY Golden Cords are reaching From Union round the world, Telling of Christ's glory, His banner they've unfurled. The Golden Cord's the life-line That reaches o'er the sea, And brings the hopeless sinner, To Christ and liberty. Many men and women Have left old Union's doors, And given their lives in service On distant heathen shores. Don't Quit When things go wrong, as they some- times will, When the road you're trudging seems all up hill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit! Life is queer, with its twists and turns, As everyone of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won had he stuck It out; Don't give up, though the pace seem slow. You may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than It seems to a faint and faltering man; Often the struggler has given up When he might have captured the vic- tor's cup. And he learned too late, when the night slipped down, How close he was to the golden crown. • Success is failure turned inside out— The silver tint of clouds of doubt. And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems afar; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit— It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit. —Selected.

"Courage, Brother, Courage!"—A. K. P. ELDER C. T. BURROUGHS Iris with deep regret that we learn of the death of Elder C. T. Burroughs at the Hinsdale Sanitarium. The work of Elder Burroughs in the Central Union for the past eight years brought him in contact with a large number of people, many of them young people. His life and influence are a powerful reminder to Union College students of what can be done by one who is devoted to the interests of the Kingdom of God. To Mrs. Burroughs and to bereaved relatives we express our sincere sympathy. WE APOLOGIZE We desire to correct a very unfortunate error which occurred in the Clock Tower of April 7, in which it was stated that the College Cafe had changed hands. The College Cafe has not chang- ed hands; the present proprietors are operating a very successful business and plan to continue doing so. The cafe which has been purchased by Mr. Munson is the Green Lantern Cafe, not the College Cafe. We regret very much that this error has occurred in the columns of our paper, for we value highly our business friends of the com- munity. The Editors For each a Cord is hanging On Union's chapel wall, To show that they were ready To answer Jesus' call.

His death occurred at the Hinsdale Sani- tarium, near Chicago, on Friday, April 8.

MISSIONARIES AID IN BIBLE STUDIES Dairy Boys Give Party At George Klement Home A party was given by the dairy boys at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Klement, Thursday evening, April 7. Many exciting games were played. The refreshments consisted of sandwiches and a chocolate drink.

Miss Coleman presented the subject, "The Law of God," proving from the Bible that the divine law is still binding. The reader was interested in the study and asked several questions concerning it. She also suggested a topic which she wished to study the next time. Next Sabbath in the Spanish home the girls will continue the subject begun last Sabbath. Plans have also been made to provide for them a subscription to El Centinela, the Spanish-American Signs. Thus these people will have a much bet- ter opportunity to study the truth more fully for themselves. SUMMER MONTHS GIVE OPPORTUNITY (Continued from page one) year. In many of our modern churches, we find that literature has a wider sphere of influence than any other single factor. The Church of the Disciples of Christ places the printing press at the top of the list, when enumerating the chief agencies that have caused their church to grow. This church is the fifth largest protestant church in America and the largest protestant church founded on American soil. When one sells our character-building books, he is engaged in the true sense, in a character-building work. It is really a door to wider achievement, because it broadens our experience and thus makes our education more practical. Let us think about this and attend the colporteur institute that will soon be held here, where we might really get the in- spiration to devote our time to this work next summer. If God shows us that we should do this work, let us gladly sur- render ourselves to Him. God needs you in the book work. 1.11•11111111111=111NIMIMM 111111111111•1111MIP See Yourself Smarter in a Stitched Brimmed Softie! 1 65 ea.

Revolutionists attempted to blockade the port of Guayaquil, Ecuador, after seizing control of two ships of the navy and firing on a Dutch passenger ship. The entire Wisconsin democratic del- egation, six delegates-at-large, and twenty district delegates, is pledged to vote for Governor Roosevelt for presidential nom- ination at the national convention in Chicago. To balance the budget two steps are essential: first, reduction of expenditures, and second, development of new sources of revenue. For nearly a decade now the federal government has accumulated surpluses every year, so there has been no question about balancing the budget. Now, however, with the pinch of depres- sion, income tax receipts have fallen off, Fearful lest a valuable military secret might fall into the hands of a foreign power, Senator Frazier proposed setting up a secret commission to pass upon a purported deadly weapon of destruction. The weapon, its details unknown to any but its inventor, was designed by the man who created the depth bomb and other instruments of war, namely Lester P. Barlow, of Stamford, Conn. VOCAL ENSEMBLE COM- PLETES TOUR (Continued from page one) the male voices. The director explained to the audience how well the boys could sing without the help of the girls. Natur- ally they were eager to carry out the truth of this statement. A pitch-pipe was used in giving the tone. Somehow, the various voices sounded very unharmoni- ous (because of a mistake in the use of the pitch-pipe.) The girls were soon back restoring the harmony in the ensemble. Of course, the boys really couldn't help it. Chester Barger came back to Union with a new nickname—"the little boy on the end." Chester is a senior in college, has taught school, and is perhaps the tallest boy in the ensemble. Nevertheless, people did persist in asking, "Who is that little boy on the end? Surely he can't be in college!" The academies and homes of the peo- ple were opened for the use of these travelling singers. Lovely rooms, many accommodations, and excellent food were prepared for them. Professor Ledington was constantly giving the warning, "Don't eat too much for supper tonight." Those present were Lorena Klement, Annabelle Rumpf, Mildred Priest, Mar- guerite Priest, Gladys Huffman, Hazel Hutchison, Bernice Searle, Doris Kirstein, Mabel Gosnell, Buford Black, Walter Specht, Vernon Becker, Dave Olson, Ern- est Hanson, Howard Weds, Henry Ro- dell, Joe Tucker, Mr. Stout, and Profes- sor Larimore. Park, Monte Culver and Miss Fae Co- win, are also Unionites. Miss Pearl Hart- well, class of 1931, who is the commercial teacher there, is still very much interested in Union. In Huthchinson Miss Lessie Culpepper and Mr. Ray Fowler were found doing well their work as respective deans in the school. Mrs. Fowler is the former Alice Carr. In Austin, Minnesota, Harold and Nana Rosenthal, who attended Union several years ago, entertained several of the group, including Professor and Mrs. Ledington, in their home. They were both graduated from the medical course at Loma Linda this year and are practic- ing in Austin. This is the home of Madge Rosenthal and Dorothy Aultfather, stu- dents of Union this year. Several members of the ensemble were privileged to visit in their own homes during this tour. Misses Juanita Rodman and Ermina Powell enjoyed their homes in Minneapolis, remaining there for spring vacation. Doris Kirstein visited at the home of her uncle in Des Moines. There, also, Jeanette McKibben stayed with her brother and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. John McKibben. In Nevada she was glad to be at home both on the trip up to Min- nesota and on the way back to Lincoln. Professor and Mrs. Ledington enjoyed being at home in practically every place. Their son, who attends school at Hutch- inson, made that place seem doubly home to them. At Nevada many friends known at Hutchinson were delighted to see them, Two lyceum numbers were given on this tour—one at Oak Park Saturday night and one at Hutchinson Sunday night. The other concerts were given in the churches at Des Moines Friday night and Sabbath morning, Minneapolis Mon- day night, and at Austin on Tuesday night. The concerts consisted of both sacred and secular numbers, the former being given first. Invitations to return another year have already been extended to the ensemble.

ER OPANE No one worried about getting hungry. Gladys said she wasn't given a chance. After the program Saturday night at Oak Park, a banquet was given in the dining room in honor of Professor Led- ington's birthday. A warm bath-robe was presented to him by his wife and mem- bers of the ensemble. At Hutchinson, breakfast was brought to the rooms Monday morning. It was very kind of the matron there to realize how much a good sleep would be ap- preciated by the group. In Minneapolis, the ensemble was en- tertained at several meals by Miss Helen Powell, a sister of Ermina, a member of the ensemble. Helen's meals were not sur- passed during the entire trip. Mrs. Smouse and her daughter, Velvah, who left Union at the end of the first se- mester, spent a great deal of time in tak- ing members of the ensemble around St. Paul. They visited a flower show, the state capitol, a cathedral, the Ford plant, the river drive, and Fort Snelling. Every effort put forth by the members of our churches and school was greatly appre- ciated by these students of Union. Other points of interest which the en- semble enjoyed were the Missouri river, Lake Minnetonka, near Minneapolis, the Iowa Sanitarium at Nevada, the Iowa capitol building in Des Moines, the many lakes in Minnesota, the Minnesota uni- versity, the Foshay Tower in Minnea- polis, St. Olaf's college at Northfield, Minnesota, the Iowa State Agricultural college at Ames, the beautiful scenery around Boone, Iowa, the many hills near Council Bluffs, Iowa, and the Mississippi river. A number of the students are proud that now they have been east of the Mississippi. It was the first time that many of them had been in either Iowa or Minnesota. Rain, mist, and snow spoiled their first impression of the lat- ter state; but the sun shone brightly the day they left, and everyone agreed that it is a wonderful state. As they drove south, vegetation be- came much greener, until near Council Bluffs the buds had opened on many of the trees. The sunshine and greenness of Lincoln seemed very pleasant after visit- ing a land of ice ( the lakes in Minnesota were still frozen) and snow. The three children who occupied the back window of Frank Baer's car ap- pear to have suddenly grown up. It is hoped that they will attain all the am- bitions and desires of their childhood, which they so frankly revealed while ob- serving the occupants of the car behind them. Many old Unionites were seen on the tour. At Des Moines Luther and Jane Lee were proud of their two babies, Jean- ine and Marilyn. Mrs. Russell, whose daughter, Sue, is attending Union this year, entertained a group at dinner Sab- bath. Walter Howe's parents also en- tertained a number.

The concluding number was the first movement of Grieg's - Concerto in A- Minor," played as a piano solo by Pro- fessor Gernet with Olivia Harder at the second piano, with orchestra accompani- ment. At Sabbath school, Mr. Nethery played Mendelsshon's "Consolation" as a spe- cial number. Miss Engel played at Young People's meeting in the afternoon. Her number was "Forsaken," a Carthaginian melody transcribed for the violin by Fritz Kreisler. Saturday night Mr. Nethery talked at joint worship. Professor Gernet states that a very cordial reception was given the Union group at Enterprise and that the trip was indeed a pleasant one. One of the greatest names in the his- tory of music is that of the master, Johann Sebastian Bach. His genius was universal and he stands, a grand old figure, at the parting of the ways between the early composers and their works, and the freer forms of writing that developed with Haydn and Mozart. He was born at Eisenach on or about March 21, 1685, and was baptized on March 23. He came from a long line of musicians, some of them distinguished, who had kept the art alive in places where they dwelt during the troublous times of the Thirty Years' war. Many of them had been organists and composers of celebrity, and so identified with music had the name of Bach become, that the town players were called the "Baths" when there were no longer any Bachs among them. The family seems early to have imbibed the spirit of piety as well as the spirit of music, and we see these traits in Johann Sebastian. When the boy was only eight he was left an orphan and went to live with an elder brother who had a home of his own and who offered to provide for him. Here he stayed six years, in one of the wooded valleys of Thuringia, studying the clavier and going to school. He also sang in church and played on the violin that had belonged to his musical father, whose pupil he had been. A story of this time is told which is characteristic of Johann, who was always eager to know the works of the most dis- tinguished composers. His brother had made a collection of the most famous compositions of the organ, which he kept jealously guarded from Johann Sebastian. One night the latter stole down stairs and succeeded in extracting the roll through the lattice of the book case. Hav- ing no light, he had to copy it by moon- light. Night after night he continued his labor of love, until at the end of six months he had made the melodies his own. But a bitter disappointment awaited him, for his copy was discovered and taken from him, and he saw it no more until after his brother's death. When he was fifteen, he left home to sing in the choir of the Benedictine monks at Luneburg, and there he studied to per- fect his skill on the violin, organ, and clavicord, and often he composed far into the night. One day he heard of a famous Dutch organist, Jan Reinken, who played in the cathedral at Hamburg, many miles away. Having no money Bach started for the place on foot with his fiddle under his arm. After walking many hours he rested near an inn. Suddenly a window opened and a parcel was thrown to him con- taining two pieces of dried herring each with a coin in it. This unexpected gift from an unknown friend cheered him, and on reaching Hamburg be was still further rewarded by the playing of Rein- kin. In 1703 he was invited to join the band of Johann Ernst, younger brother of the reigning Duke of Weimer, as violinist, receiving the title of Court Musician. Vis- iting Arnstadt soon after, he played on the organ in the new church with so much success that he was forthwith offered the post of organist, with a greatly increased salary. After two years he was given a month's holiday, which he spent in Lubeck, going there to listen to the fine playing of Dietrich Buxtehude, a Danish organist of note. This musician gave the young man many valuable ideas on fugue-writ- ing and the use of the organ pedals, and Bach became so interested that he ex- tended his one month to three. On his return he was coldly received by the au- thorities, and soon after accepted a new position in Muhlhausen, where he was given the same modest salary as in Arn- stadt, with the addition of a cart in which to convey his possessions to his new abode. When twenty-two years old, he mar- ried his cousin Maria Barbara. She proved a devoted wife and a help to him in all practical ways. The following year saw him court-or- ganist to the Duke of Weimer, and when he was twenty-nine he went to Cassel and played an astonishing pedal solo on an organ, so difficult that few could have achieved with their hands what he played with his feet. When he was thirty-two he became Kapell-maester to the young prince of An- halt-Kothen, an enthusiastic music lover who played and sang with his new friend. He insisted that Bach accompany him on his travels, and on a journey to Karlsbad the master, to console himself for having no musical instrument at hand, composed a large portion of the Well Tempered Clavichord. In 1720 Bach received the heartbreak- ing news that his wife had died and was buried. Two years later he married again. This time his wife was a singer named Anna Magdalena Wulkin, a charming person, who, although fifteen years his junior, proved a most congenial com- panion. In the meantime he left the employ of the Prince, and became cantor of the Thomas-Schule in Leipzig. The Thomas- Schule, an ancient institution dating from the fifth century, was both grammar and choir school for the pupils who attended it. Bach's position made practically di. rector of all the music in Leipzig. At the time of his accession to the cantor- ship, Leipzig, although filled with Protest- ant churches, retained many Catholic cus- toms in its church service, such as the use of the Magnificat and other parts of the mass, and in his great Mass in B Minor he shows his reverence for this form of church music. The Passion According to St. Mathew, a deeply religious and beautiful compo- sition, was brought out after his arrival at Leipzig. It consists of parts of the gospel, and was written to be sung in Holy Week, for it portrays the grief of those who contemplate Christ's sufferings on the cross. It is written for two choruses, each with its own orchestral and organ ac- companiment, and the usual soloists. Bach was happy in his home life, for he was a man of simple domestic tastes. He delighted in developing the talents of his promising sons. His large family circle was often added to by friends and visitors, who enjoyed his never failing hospitality. With his pupils and his chil- dren he could always make up a small orchestra, and some of his finest works were written to be played at the musical gatherings given in his home. When Bach was sixty-two he made his famous visit to Frederick the Great. Phillip Emmanuel had become Court Musician and had persuaded his father to accept a long-standing invitation from the King to play to him. Frederick was a great lover of music, as well as an enthusiastic flute player, and when he heard of the master's arrival he postponed the evening concert saying eagerly to those present, "Gentlemen, old Bach has come." The master was welcomed by the king, and the musicians present followed him from room to room as Frederick exhibited his fifteen pianos and begged him to im- provise on one of them. Bach selected as the theme for his fugue a melody which the king himself had composed. (Continued on page three) Prepare For What is Ahead!
