CHURCH SPEAKER Consecrated Leadership Needed In Sabbath School—Should Be Help to Church TRACES S. S. HISTORY Today There Are 400,000 Members, of Whom 272,000 Are Found In Foreign Fields "If there is any department of the work of God today that should have definitely and fully the consecrated leadership that is demanded in this hour, I personally believe that it is the Sabbath school of this denomination," said Pastor S. A. Wellman, associate secretary of the Gen- eral Conference Sabbath School depart- ment, who was the speaker last Sabbath at the morning church service. He con- tinued: "The Spirit of Prophecy tells us that the Sabbath school should improve and enlarge the church. I believe that that is exactly what the Sabbath school has been doing through the years, but I also agree with what the Spirit of Prophecy definitely states, that it has not done the work that it might have done. Too often we are content with halfway measures. There is a very definite and divine connection between the Sabbath school service and the after service, so no one can afford to miss the one or the other." Pastor Wellman traced the history of the Sabbath school from its small begin- ning in 1852, when it was only for the youth, to its present place in our work. "Today," continued the speaker, "we find 79 per cent of the church of God through- out the world meeting in Sabbath school week by week. There are in the world field today nearly 400,000 Sabbath school members, of whom 272,000 are found in regions beyond. Wherever you go and the church begins its work, the very first thing that is established in an organized way ig the Sabbath school." Concerning the daily study of the Sab- bath school lesson, Pastor Wellman said: - The thing that brings home to the heart and life of the individual the real gos- pel is studying for himself His word and hearing for himself what He has to say, thus knowing that He is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world. And that is what the Sabbath school does. I believe the daily study of the Sabbath school lesson is and can be made more and more a blessing and a help to every individual member that will build him up and make him strong to represent his Master."

The times in which we are living lend power to our work. In these times when men's hearts are failing them for fear we find people everywhere who are ready to listen to this great Gospel message. They are anxious to know what the signs of the times mean. Though many show a lack of interest in foreign mission work, because of their concern over the starvation conditions found in the home towns, they take a great interest in the home missionary re- lief work. Truly our hearts were moved with compassion as we observed the destitu- tion which is creeping upon the world; yet this physical suffering fades into noth- ingness in comparison with the terrible doom about to break upon humanity. Christ has bidden us to tell the dying world of His matchless love and power to save; to "go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature"; and to make ready a people for His com- ing. How can we do this except we have funds? We as Seventh-day Advent- ist young people must rally to the great need. This we can do by supporting the Harvest Ingathering work. We are told that the Gospel ministry is to be supported by self denial and sacrifice. There are many who are willing to offer some sacrifice to this end, if we only give them opportunity. Is it not true that the more we give to keep others the more room we have to receive a greater blessing for ourselves? Then how willing we should be to give (Continued on page two.)

Oh, you have? Where is it? Here, I've got it. Yeah, and here comes the fellow after it now—. How do you do, Mr. M— (mumbles some unintelli- gible name that might pass for almost anything). You're just in time. The proof has just been finished. There, how do you like that? It's about what you had in mind, isn't it?" Almost any customer, talking to almost any printshop boss, would answer: "Well, that looks pretty good, but I think this line could have been about twice as large. Here, these figures should have been put up in this corner and the tele- phone number moved across to this cor- ner. I think these two lines should have been smaller, too. I guess that will about fix it. Can I see another proof of it be- fore you run them?" That same boss probably answers, "Oh, yes, yes, no trouble at all."

(Continued on page two) WEEK OF PRAYER OPENS IN IHAPEL Meade MacGuire Urges Separa- tion From Sin As Prepara- tion for Latter Rain "We as Seventh-day Adventists un- derstand that the latter rain will come. We cannot share it if we do not over- come sin," were the opening words of ing meeting of the autumn week of prayer at the college. Pastor MacGuire read his text from John 5:16, where it says that if we are born of God we have no sin. Such questions as these were asked by the speaker: - Do you transgress God's law? Do you have sin? If we must give the affirmative answer to these questions it is hardly consistent for us to tell our friends to keep the law." Pastor MacGuire emphasized the fact that "love is the fulfilling of the law," and that he who loves another has ful- filled the law. "Love of self is the foundation of all sin," he said. "There is such a thing as falling in love with Jesus, and if we do love Him we will keep his command- ments. This is, then, the victorious life over sin." To Become Great Is To Become a Servant BY ERNEST HANSON The biting northeast wind had been moaning among the bare branches of the trees all day. Toward evening the sun had disappeared behind the clouds, and a sifting snow had begun to fall. It was the first snowfall of the season. Gently the tiny flakes fell, covering with a soft white mantle the fields and woods of the North land. Alton was a husky lad of nineteen. He was the older of two sons in the family, and consequently was called up- on to carry a large share of the work and responsibility in the home. The other members of the family were the father, the mother, and one sister. The home wax a cozy one, not elaborately furnished, but a home where love and Christian courtesy abounded. It was a farm home, and the nearest railway town was many miles away. Alton was a quiet, thoughtful boy. When the work was finished, and the simple but ample evening meal eaten, and the dishes had been put away, Al- ton would spend two hours before bed time in reading books. The mother had early taught him the value of such read ing. And she had often said and showed that there was one book of greater value than any other—The Bible.This book she always read from before retiring at night, and Alton also had learned to love the Book and read it faithfully. On this par- ticular evening Alton was very deeply impressed by a passage which he read. It was a message that had been spoken by Him who spoke as never man had spoken before. The words fastened them- selves upon Alton's mind, and were never to be forgotten. Could it be true? Could (Continued on page three) Characterizing a measure raising the standards of Seventh-day Adventist col- leges to accredited standing as a "war measure" and the "best way out," mem- bers of the denomination adopted a reso- lution which will standardize five of their schools in the United States and reduce one to the status of a junior college. The action was taken because of demands made by the American Medical association that all pre-medical students receive certain training. The Seventh-day Adventist Welfare society was also organized dur- ing the session. This has as its purpose the relieving of physical suffering and the bringing of new life and spirit into the churches. Apparently successful with his inter- view with President Hoover, Premier Laval planned to act quickly to put into effect the fruits thereof for overcoming the world economic crisis. Of outstanding importance to France is the pledge of President Hoover that America will make no further interventions in favor of a moratorium on German reparations pay- ments. Of great importance was the de- cision to unite French and American ef- forts to maintain the integrity of the gold standard. The Japanese Consul issued an ultimat- turn to Chinese authorities that unless a bridge over the Nonni river is repaired within a week the Japanese army will ''take effective measures." As to terms of peace, Japan regarded that the withdrawal of troops would ex- pose Japanese subjects in Manchuria. Di- rect negotiation with China is the only procedure "calculated to open a way to save the situation." J. Ramsey MacDonald, socialist prime By HELEN ARNBRECHT Hallowe'en, a crisp cool night, a slight- ly cloudy sky, a shrill whistle, final com- mands, and the Union College hikers were off. The destination of these annual Hal- lowe'en hikers was a mystery to almost everyone. From North hall Mr. Reimche led the double line of approximately 275 students west in the direction of Ante- lope park, but turned and went through the Piedmont section, back toward Tut- tle's grove and then brought the line of excited and mystified hikers to their own grove behind the college. Here ten campfires were blazing and even the stars were shining their wel- come. Each leader gathered his group around a fire where a student cook and his assistants had an abundance of food for every hungry traveler. The menu con- sisted of eggs fried over the campfire, butter buns, crisp potato chips, delicious doughnuts, rosy apples, steaming hot co- coa, and marshmallows toasted over the fire. No Need of the Artist of Today Dying of Hunger By PAULINE WICKWIRE The first artist wrote the first stories; he recorded form, line, and actions which he saw and felt. Since all men saw and felt things which they desired to record and communicate, alphabets were evolved. Alphabets are but a conventionalized and arbitrary process of picture making. In this way a definite separation has come between the teller of tales and the maker of pictures. Today not every artist can illustrate a story; he must have the com- bined qualities of both author and artist. This is a day of experts. Advertising is a flourishing business; commercial de- signing is in demand. There is still plenty of room at the top; but the artist need no longer draw in an attic and die of hunger. The world is brimming with pictures. minister, led the conservatives and their allies to a smashing victory in the gen- eral election in England, October 27. Another move has been started to bring the Hoover administration to the rescue of railroads, which are dissatisfied with the conditional offers of help proposed by the Interstate commerce commission in its freight rate decision. The Federal farm board is awaiting expected French offers for the purchase of substantial quantities of American wheat and cotton, and officials expressed the hope that negotiations might be un- dertaken in the near future. President Hoover is outlining a new Philippine policy which, it is hoped, will cancel pending legislation calling for im- mediate independence of the islands. The new policy provides for aid to economic and governmental stability through Amer- ican co-operation. It will be offered to congress in the president's message at the opening of the December session. The dirigible Akron, largest craft ever to leave ground, is in the navy after formal commissioning at the naval air station. Presidents Hoover's organization for unemployment relief prescribed to the na- tion a potent pill of ten ingredients "to be taken promptly" as a panacea for its aches and pains. The ten point program included a recommendation for formation of another huge credit pool similar to the $500,000,000 national credit corpora- tion. Professor Otto Warburg, German bio- logical chemist, has been awarded the 1931 Nobel prize in medicine for his dis- covery of the way in which the respira- tory organs function. After everyone had eaten all he felt he possibly could, running and question games were played. When the fires were beginning to grow dim a whistle was heard, and the whole crowd gathered in the gymnasium for a series of marches under the direction of Walter Howe and William Barclay, accompanied by Ada Williams and Jeanette McKibben at the piano and Joe Barrow with the drums. It was a late hour when the marchers followed the leaders out of the gymna- sium around the administration building to North hall where the hike ended. Ac- cording to the comments of the students, this was the most enjoyed entertainment given at Union this year. The faculty social committee, together with a group of students who were ap- pointed, were responsible for the arrange- ment of the hike. The group leaders were as follows: Alva Phillips, Clyde Bush- nell, Henry Preston, Robert Whitsett, Louis Pettis, Carl Moyers, Donald Kroll, Robert Heine, Earl Gable, and Chester Barger. The highways are bordered with glaring posers; the business houses, theatres, etc.. are plastered with them—anything to attract the eyes of the buying public. Like jazz music, most of them are cheap, creating a restless carelessness, exagger- ating folly and fools. Pictures are subtile things. Their influ- ence creeps unconsciously into our lives and becomes a part of our inmost soul, weaving therein gold or dross. Someone has said "great art is beauty tinged with strangeness." The artist you don't forget has an individuality which he puts into his work. It cannot be defined or imitated. His work has an intangibility he himself cannot explain, yet all rec- ognize its presence. One high-powered design and one syn- copated ditty may pass on leaving no petmanent marks, but choose carefully and prayerfully the bits of art that hang upon the walls of the sanctuary of your own room. They may lift you to the mountain or drive you into darkness. Floyd Bates, Member of School in 1911-12, Contrasts Celebrations On board the S. S. d'Artagnan January 30th, 1931 Dear Home Folks, At last we are away from Scotland, and really we are not sorry to be gone. Our last three months' stay constituted one of the hardest hings I have ever felt duty bound to endure. To know that we were seriously needed elsewhere, and yet to be required to sit idly by and wait from one date to the next,—well it was just downright hard work. Any- thing like occupation would be an accept- able change. Now that the exams are over and we are at last actually on the last lap of the journey to China, we can hardly express the relief it all brings. Before I begin the story of our trip from Edinburgh to Canton I have two things more to tell you about Scotland. Nov. 11, Armistice Day, is a very dif- ferent sort of thing there from what it Is in America. At home it is more of a day for celebration and happy recollec- tion that the war was finally over, and that victoriously. So we celebrate with noise, a holiday, trips to the country or a picnic or something similar. But Armis- tice Day there is a day of sorrowful remembrance; a day for pilgrimages to war memorials; a time to visit those places keeping a register of the dead and (Continued on page three) DR. GRAYBILL AND CADWALLADER SPEAK Former Unionite Tells of Closing and Reopening of Clinic in South America BY DAVE OLSON Wednesday morning at chapel it was the privilege of Union students to hear a former Unionite, Dr. W. B. Graybill, speak. It has been eleven years since he was a student at this place, but vivie memories of his school days still linger He was one of the stalwarts in erecting the gymnasium, but was graduated soon after, and never had the privilege of us- ing the pool. Also he was a member in good standing of the knights in the cas- tle. Now, instead of carving his name on his chapel seat, he is carving it in the hearts and souls of the inhabitants of the Lake Titicaca region in South America. It was six years ago that Dr. Graybill received the call to give his life to South America. During this time he has helped establish a clinic, and has seen It closed and reopened twice.

It brings us its Indian summer days with their tinted, hazy atmosphere; their soft, low winds, and their genial sunshine; the colorful October days with beautiful sun- set skies, painted leaves, and lingering flowers; the cold November days with barren trees; raw wintry winds which usher in the first snowfall. Summer days are past with the great profusion of flowers they bring, and with their warm south winds. The noise of the locust, the chirp of the sparrow, the song of the thrush are gone, and the eve- ning is strangely silent. But in the fall of the year Nature is at the height of her glory—gold everywhere, •even the trees are afire with red and yellow leaves. The countryside is covered with rare, russet colors, where once the bright green, the beautiful scarlet, and the rich orange stains were found. However, this glory is not to endure forever. November with its first frosts, with its winds with a wintry tinge and its first snowfall bring to a close this reign of color and beauty. The leaves fall from the trees as the wind rushes through their branches, but which even seem to love to die in their bright colors. The petals fall from the last, faded summer rose, the vegetation turns black and with- ers in the path of the freezing frost. The sky, overcast with gray clouds, and a cold northern wind herald the first snow- fall of the year. Yes, we love autumn for its pictures and for its change. We love it for its yellow leaves and its fallen brown leaves, for its light southern winds and its strong northern winds, and for its fall rains and its winter snow. MACGUIRE GIVES MESSAGE OF LOVE Defines in Vespers the Great Commandment as "Fulfillment of the Law" LETTER IS READ Explains "Life of Jesus in Us Will Picture the Same Character As It Did In Him" "The great commandment of the law is 'Thou shalt love,' " said Pastor Meade MacGuire, in his vesper talk Friday eve- ning, the first night of the fall week of prayer. "The Buddhist gives as his mo- tive for obedience not love for God, but desire for his own salvation. The great commandment is 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all the mind, and with all thy strength, and thy neighbor as thyself.' How can we tell others to refrain from breaking the fourth commandment," he asked, "if we break the great command- ment, 'Thou shalt love'? Love is the ful- filling of the law." Pastor MacGuire suggested that we place before each commandment the clause "if thou lovest me" and substi- tute "canst" for "shalt," making the com- mandment read "If thou lovest me thou canst have no other gods before me,". etc. "Jesus said if we are the children of God we are partakers of His nature and cannot but be like Him. That life of Jesus in us will produce the same charac- ter in us that it did in him. "Love is knowing God. Only he who loves God and his neighbor as him- self really knows God." The speaker continued with the text, "He who abideth in Him sinneth not, and he who sinneth hath not seen him neither hath he known Him." "John knew God so well that he said anyone who knew him could not keep on sinning, because he would love Him too much." He then gave illustra- aa— peopie wiloSe lives were com- pletely transformed by a true love of God. In closing, Pastor MacGuire read a a letter written to him by Claud Miller, after his wife had been killed in China by bandits, telling of the tragedy, and tl,en declaring he would stay on with his work. "This," he said, "is an ex- ample of true love. Love is the fulfilling of the law." Music for the evening was furnished by a string quintet and Claire Heitman, who played a solo on the vibraphone. Workings of Nature Show Great Power Of Master Mind By CARROLL CULVER "What is so rare as a day in June?" we have heard the poet say, and to this we might add "What is so wonderful as the workings of Nature?" In spring we note a marvelous trans- formation of trees and earth from a brown, barren color to a gorgeous green. Many different shades of that color, c course, add to the variety of the scenery, thus backing the old adage "variety is the spice of life." What color could be more fitting for the surroundings and scenery which we see spread over the earth? We find this color to be a substance which chemically is called "chlorophyll," and upon which the sunlight acts, forming starch, by which the plants live. Even the ugly weeds are nourished from the same source, showing the planning of an infin- ite master mind and the working of a master hand. The story is told of a farmer, who, upon handing a weed scythe to his son, told the boy to sally forth and cut the weeds about the premises. As it was get- ting late in the fall, a bright idea struck the lad, and he looked up at his father with a self-satisfied grin, and said, "What is the use, Dad, Jack Frost will soon be along and you know he can kill more weeds in an hour than I could in month." After the verdure of the trees and grass and the manifold colors of flowers have been with us all spring and summer, we begin to tire of their presence some- what and wish for a little more spice, until Jack Frost comes along and puts a blight on all green things. In this manner the main crop of the middle west, corn, is brought to a ripened and mature state. We also see the leaves on the trees turn to beautiful hues of golden yellows and reddish browns. This is due to the cessa- tion of the flowing of the sap, the life of the tree, in preparation for winter, and (Continued on page four) Weekly Review of World Affairs BY HAROLD LINCOLN Annual School Hike Held Saturday Night : MARCH IN GYM CONCLUDES PROGRAM Find Grove Pleasant Picnic Grounds THE CLOCK TOWER Published every Thursday during the school year and monthly during the summer vacs.

PRAYER LIFE PROGRESSES The week of prayer is another high spot in our lives. It is for us to enjoy while it is with us, and to remember its spirit after it is gone from us. Some features of the week of prayer we cannot keep with us, yet there are other features we ought never to let slip. In fact, it should be our goal to try to retain more and more of the prayer spirit and a higher level of living. Let us remember that God is not merely a judge—He is the omniscient Judge; that He is not a father—He is our Father. God does not sit sternly in Heaven watching eagerly for every sin we commit, and recording it so that we may be punished. On the contrary, He sees sorrowfully the wrongs we do, and desires primarily that we accept his omnipotence and love, and learn to live for right and truth and God. Week of prayer is to remind us of that. It is to bring our lives to a higher level, and to inspire us again to strive for pure characters and lives of love and service and obedience.—A. L. W. There is a tie that binds together the editorial fraternity—the tie of a common affliction. At least one concludes that from the fol- lowing pitiful plea in The Student Movement, Emmanuel Missionary college: "Getting out a paper is no picnic. If we print jokes, folks say we are silly. If we don't they say we are too serious. If we publish original matter, they say we lack variety. If we publish things from other papers, we are too lazy to write. If we stay on the job, we ought to be out rustling news. If we are rustling news, we are not attending to business in our department. If we don't print contributions, we don't show our appreciation. If we do print them the paper is filled with junk. Like as not some fellow will say we took this from an exchange. So we did." The Midland also adds her tale of woe: "The student gets the paper, The school gets the fame, The printer gets the money, The staff gets the blame." Doubticoo the student, school, and printer would sari[ have something to say on that matter, but for the time being the editor has the floor. OTHER EDITORS SAY It is said that the busy man can do the most for you in the shortest time. There are two kinds of busy men. One is the person who has much to do, plans his work, and does it. He does not complain about how much he has to do, because he gets it done. And he has a small margin of time left over. The other is the person who is always rushing from one thing to another, complaining about all the work he must do in so little time. He does things fairly well, he is always busy, but he never gets "caught up." It is the person in the first class who really accomplishes things. Even though he is as busy as the other man, he can do his work and have it well done, on time, without excuses.—The Sligonian. PAGE TWO THE CLOCK TOWER GEN. CONFERENCE ANNOUNCES BOOK The following announcement comes from the General Conference Sabbath School Department: Answers to 1500 Pertinent Bible Ques- tions. Somebody has said that any one can ask questions but it takes a wise person to answer them. In reading the Bible many questions arise in one's mind,—questions about natural features of the Holy Land; ques- tions about the climate, weather, seasons. It indeed takes a wise man in things Palestinian to answer all such questions that occur to every Bible reader. Only one who has lived in the Holy Land, traveled about, mingled with the people and learned them intimately, can assay to answer these interesting and pertinent questions. For twenty years G. M. Mackie was a missionary of the Church of Scotland at Beyrout, Syria. He has studied the land and the people of the Bible at close range for these many years. In a splendid book of 175 pages, "Bible Manners and Customs," he gives much valuable information about the land of the children of Israel, and answeres many of our persistent questions. Five hund- red texts are cited and illustrated in con- nection with his discussions. This book ordinarily sells at $1.25. But Revell Company, the publishers, have given us a special price, enabling our Book and Bible Houses to sell this vol- ume at ninety-live cents postpaid. The present is the best time to order, as these good agents of ours have just stocked "Bible Manners and Customs" to supply those who take the Sabbath School Workers' Training Course dur- ing 1932. This book, together with the SABBATH SCHOOL WORKER, form the basis of our studies the coming year. All progressive Sabbath schools have a Training Course class, and all growing officers and teachers take the Course. We invite any who wish to study "Bible Manners and Customs" with our Sab- bath school workers to join the Train- ing Course class. J. C. Thompson. Gen. Cont. Sabbath School Dep't. Mrs. E. L.

Blessed is the fellow who can take life seriously but still be jolly. Students in school could eliminate about ninety per cent of their difficulties by a bit of good humor. When a new rule bumps you and threatens to change in some particular your mode of living established by from one to ten years of usage, be a man and smile and keep still. It makes you bigger than the fellow who stoops to stubbornness over trivials. It takes nerve and courage, but it leaves you a feeling of exhilaration afterward. It's a good mental gymnastic. Don't be so selfish. No one wants to hear your grudge if he knows it's a grudge. Laugh when it hurts and when the situation is humorless. Make something funny if there's nothing funny already. We're desperate about this—please do laugh. You need it and so do we. Say to yourself in the fashion of Paul: "These two things I do: grin and think more than I speak." Try it for an hour, or a day, or a week. We guarantee a hundred and fifty per cent efficiency or your money back. 0 A Rush Job in the Printshop (Continued from page one) - Ring-ling-a-ling," the telephone jang- les insistently.

"Oh, fine," says the boss, "Now put on that job for the Rushin' Russian Co." He glances at the proof George has just handed him and ex- claims, "Say, this is a big improvement over the other. Isn't it? I think this looks vci y good now. Just look of this." "Yes, it does look pretty good now. You can run them that way. I think five thousand will be enough. You'll deliver them first thing in the morning, will you?" "We're rushed almost to death, but we'll do them as quickly as possible and I think we can get them to you by noon." "I must have them by eight-thirty or they won't do me any good. If you can't get them to me by then, you'd better not do them at all." "Well, we'll get them to you by eight- thirty if you must have them. I'll have them run tonight so you'll be sure of get- ting them. Boodbye, and you can plan on getting them about eight o'clock in the morning." " All right. Goodbye." The boss does a sprint from the office to the press room, where he finds Mike just finishing a job. "Here, Mike," he calls, "I've got another job for you to do yet tonight. You'll probably have to work most of the night to get it done. Ask George where the form is and when you get it ready to run let me see one. Oh, here's the form on this stone. It looks like it's all ready to run. Get it in quick and I'll wait for the proof." Mike slides the form off the stone and takes one step toward the press. There is heard the clatter of falling type, slugs, rules, furniture, and quoins, and Mike stands with an empty chase in his hands. At their feet, in a heap of "pi", lies the form that must be printed before eight o'clock in the morning. Almost any Mike, watching almost any printshop boss in almost any shop, sees him faint. The great American printer's question is: Will there ever be a customer who does not want his printing twenty-four hours before it is possible to get it out? Three Crosses By WILLIAM L. BARCLAY Three crosses stood upon a hill. My eyes, they see but one. On it the Saviour's crucified; His earthly work is done. He died to free us from our sins, To spare us from the rod; And now I give my life to Him, Acclaim Him as my God. He's pleading for your soul today. Oh, sinner, can't you hear? Oh, let Him guide your heart, your life, And free you from sin's fear. With malice towards none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right. —Abraham Lincoln. Students May Have Contentment Plus Have you ever wondered by what sat- isfaction is measured? how many degrees of satisfaction there are? or if you know whether or not you really are satisfied? I venture to say that there isn't a person here in Union College who is perfectly satisfied. But why not? We should be. There are, no doubt, many who arc contented with the school in a general way, and many are satisfied with their grades in trigonometry, or with their roommates, but I don't mean that. I am thinking in a more inclusive way of com- plete satisfaction. It is easy to be satisfied with many of the incidents that go to make up life; and those which we are not permitted to enjoy, we wish for. I have heard several boys say that they would like to be home for a while and hunt deer. Along with this wish, I heard someone else say that he'd like to get a few ducks and phea- sants, but no wonder he wishes thus for he once shot seven ducks with one shot. I could rave on about hunting for a long time. The idea of being out in the north- ern wilds of our country for just one sea- son, and there to associate with pure nature as it is there to be had in the mink, otter, fox, moose, etc., brings certainly a feeling that if such conditions could be possible, we should be perfectly satis- fied. But you say, "You are getting back tc satisfaction in its singleness of meaning and not in the inclusive way to which you at first referred." True this is, but if you were content in every way would you not then have satisfaction? Sometimes I have wondered if the mountaineer, the hermit, the gypsy, or the trapper and others, in their remote places, are just as contented as are the capitalist, the business man, or the social hero of today. No doubt they are, but in order to decide this, we must judge each social level according to its own way of thinking. The different environments in which the two classes mentioned are grouped have produced distinctly differ- ent ideals of satisfaction, so they must, therefore, be viewed from their own level of likes and dislikes. From this we might conclude that there is but one degree of satisfaction; how- ever, the Bible teaches that there are two degrees. The one is contentment, as has been mentioned, and which is confirmed by Paul when he says, 'I have learned, in whatever state I am, therewith to be content." The other degree is "Content- ment Plus," which may be had by adding godliness to contentment. Paul says it in these words: "Godliness with contentment is great gain." Again I conclude that we as students here in a Christian school may have even "Contentment Plus."

On Resolutions By WILLIAM OLSON In some ways students as a class of people make up a little world of their own. While the Great Outside holds its breath awaiting with suspense the out- come of serious international complica- tions, the student goes about panting over the next examination. The world has a New Year. To stu- dents the New Year is less in importance than the New School Year. It is impera- tive to start the New School Year right. Resolutions are made. But just as New Year's Resolutions are broken and for- gotten before the end of January, so are these crushed before mid-semester exams lie in ambush. Just a minute. Let me count. What be- came of my heavy artillery placed behind the front trenches of daily classes? The favorite tactics of the enemy are to sneak around and come up from behind, half unexpectedly. They've captured my big siege guns. The next time examinations charge at the zero hour I'll need those weapons. The enemy (the exams, not the' professors), will blow a hole in my line unless I get reinforcements. I guess I'll have to—well, just study, one of the best types of machine guns ever put out. DR. GREYBILL SPEAKS (Continued from page one) American Medical faculty. Thus the Clin- ica was subject to false rumors circulated by jealous doctors, and it was closed. Newspapers of Puno published var- ious articles in favor of Dr. Graybill's Clinica. His friends took it upon them- selves to see that it was reopened, and a meeting was called in the town square. The local doctors denied their error, and the school was reopened. Two years later the clinic had a similar experience, but loyal friends again championed the cause. In his closing remarks, Dr. Graybill encouraged the making of friends as one of the things in life that continues to bring happiness. He said, "Friendship is golden. We really appreciate a friend af- ter we have been away for a time. We should cultivate friendship, but in order to have friends you must be a friend." E. M. Cadwallader was also present and spoke for a short time. Mr. Cadwal- lader is educational and missionary vol- unteer secretary of the Southeast African division and a member of the 'executive committee of Nyasaland, where he has spent seven years. He said, "Africa is a land of great distances and possibilities. Thousands of the dark-skinned natives are calling for you to come and lift them out of ignorance. You may serve as Christ served." Many have been the experiences of Mr. Cadwallader. He has traveled over thousands of miles of African roads, and had a part in the beginnings of many advances in Africa. The beautiful part was that he called these experiences priv- ileges. COZY CAFE Home Cooking and Baking Regular Meals Round the Corner from Lovell's Phone 48-W Res. 202 X-Ray Diagnosis FRANK T.

Let us study the two words, "Harvest" and "Ingathering' - for a moment. I he Lord says, - 1 he harvest is great and the laborers are few." If we relate ourselves properly to the task before us, God, through us, will Harvest souls for His kingdom. But we must do our part in "Gathering in" (our second work) the means by which this work can be car- ried on. Many personal benefits were derived from our recent field trip. Besides talk- ing with and encouraging those with whom we came in contact our own faith was strengthened. One girl said, - It does not seem strong enough to say, 'I like to go Harvest In- gathering' because I love to go. "Thus I am afforded opportunity to tell others what I believe and why I believe it, and of the great work our people are doing. This strengthens me and gives me a chance_to witness for the gospel. I am happy to have had a part in this great work." Another said, "I received so much help from going Harvest Ingathering. I solic- ited one lady who said she had given to this work every year, and she regretted that she could not do the same this year, but her husband was out of work and it was impossible. However, she gave me a bag of carrots from her garden. These could be exchanged for money so were just as good. Then we talked about the signs of the times and had a real spirit- ual talk. I do think it strengthens our own faith in the message as we talk about it to others, as well as the help we are able to give those we meet." Surely, it is only by service for others that we are able to live nobly and be happy. 'Tis not enough to help the feeble up, But to support him after. —Shakespeare.

THE CLOCK TOWER PAGE THREE FLOYD BATES WRITES (Continued from page one) look up the name of that relative who fell, and talk in subdued tones as though in the presence of the dead. In Edinburgh there was no change in the regular day of business. All the shops and stores were open and business going at full swing; the streets were crowded with pedestrians, and vehicles of all kinds were noisily passing along over the rough cob- ble-stone pavement as on any other day. I was told that at eleven o'clock there would be a two minute silent period, And so, curious as ever, I went out to see how it would be done. I had almost reached the main business street when, over the noise and bustle of the city the boom of a cannon was heard, and the transformation of the next five seconds was well nigh unbelievable. There were numerous pedestrians besides myself walk- ing briskly along the sidewalk. Every one stopped just where he was and stood motionless and without a sound, with un- covered and bowed head. A large truck which had just discharged its load was noisily approaching an intersection, but at the sound of that gun it stopped dead still in its tracks, and the motor was stopped. Street cars, autos, delivery trucks and everything guided by human intelligence came to a complete standstill, and all sound referable to human life and activity ceased. The "valley of dead mens' bones" itself could produce no more complete a silence. Thousands of people, factories, presses, horse carts, automobiles of all descriptions, street cars, trucks, busses,etc., etc., all assumed an attitude of mournful silence. About a block down the street a dog, disturbed by the unaccustomed silence, set up a mournful howl, and ran about from place to place seeking the reason for it all. The perfect silence was not broken by sound or voice till the second gun was heard after two memorable minutes. Then the silent multitude came to life and car- ried on the rest of the day as usual. The Scottish War Memorial, of which I spoke in my last "carbon," was visited by thousands, and we pressed in among them. Here too, every face wore an ex- pression of subdued sorrow, and the only sounds heard were the rythmic tread of the sentry in the corridor and the sub- dued shuffle of the visitors' feet. The day was a most impressive one which will not soon be forgotten. It typified something of the life-and-death seriousness the memory of the war is to these people. It was the more meaningful to me as I thought of the time not far distant when the world will again be in- volved in general war and the terrors of 1914 to 1918 will be repeated and in- tensified. In sharp and awful contrast to this was New Year's Eve. Again I was too curious to stay at home, and because of hearing so much of the wonderful per- fection of government control of the sale of intoxicants in Great Britain, as pro- mulgated by the wet element of Ameri- ca, I thought there was my chance to know first hand how it worked, The street had been crowed more than usual all day, but after business hours had passed the people thus released had joined the others, and the sidewalks were altogether inadequate. I left our apart- ment about 10:30 P. M. and made my way through the residence district to the center of interest in the business section. I decided on a short cut through a back street to avoid a jam I saw ahead, and as I turned a corner was greeted by a group of five young people, four young men and one young woman, in age about 18 to 22, standing in front of the door of one of these government controlled "pubs." I said they were all standing. That was a mistake. The girl was being held up by two of the young men in a very unsteady fashion. As I approached near enough to see in the semi-darkness of the dimly lighted road- way, there could be no mistaking the state of affairs. All were drunk. The girl, utterly unable to stand alone, was being held from falling by two male compan- ions but little better off then herself, while the other two were arguing voci- ferously the best thing to do with her. From the door was to be heard every- thing that goes with free - government controlled" consumption of intoxicants. The picture is too repulsive for further description. I passed on quickly, feeling thankful for the principles of a religion which pro- tects against the first cup, and looked about for something to relieve my mnid of its memory. The street was crowded with revelers as it used to be on car- nival nights back home in Sioux City It is not enough to love others; we must let them know that we love them. —1. R. Miller ALL MAKES Remington Woodstock Underwood Royal L. C. Smith when I was a boy. There were canes, umbrellas, whistles, nosegays, paper hats of all descriptions, with confetti, etc., etc., for sale every few feet, along the curb. The street was largely filled with the young, boys and girls from the age of twelve to twenty-five, although there was a free admixture of the older. All among the crowd were having a hi- larious good time and there was much evidence of drinking.• As the evening passed and midnight hour approached, the crowd began mak- ing its way toward a certain corner where is built, strange as it may seem, one of the popular churches of Edinburgh. In front of this they gathered. In the cen- ter of the street a circle was cleared and old Highland folk-dances to the tune of stringed instruments were enjoyed heartily by the crowd. In the belfry of the church was an illuminated clock face the movement of whose hands was eagerly watched by the revelers. As the hands indicated the approach of twelve, the shouts and whis- tles became louder and louder and the dancing ceased. All eyes were turned toward the clock. At two minutes of twelve the attitude of the crowd began to change, and everywhere among young and old alike bottles of whiskey ap- peared. Drinking was very free, and I watched them, boys and girls of not more than 15 or 16 years of age were among the freest drinkers. I watched nu- merous groups, and evidently many of them were getting their first lessons. Drunkenness was the rule of the eve- ning. There were thousands who had evi- dently imbibed too freely. Men and wo- men, boys and girls were reeling down the street in a more or less disorderly fashion, and numerous cases required as- sistance to stand upright. It was a terri- ble night. As the crowd dispersed the streets were filthy with broken bottles, tons of refuse paper, and drunken vomi- tus of many a misguided Scotch lad and lassie. The above is, of course, booze free- dom at is worst, but it is a true pic- ture of what may and does take place at times under that government control which is so longed for by the wet ele- ment of America. It is too bad that the Atlantic ocean is so narrow as to permit of ready transoceanic communication, but still so wide that clear vision from one side across to the other is impossible. There is a great deal of propoganda carried on by the wets of America in Great Britain. Prohibition is represented here at its worst, and the liquor traffic is thoroughly glossed over and made to look attractive in America. Could these same men see the debauchery and misery and real suffering there is in this coun- try as a direct result of the use of liq- uor, great good would be done the cause of prohibition. Americans need think very carefully before letting down the bars which have so wisely been put up. I must close for this time. We are having a very lovely trip and I am sure that my next "carbon", which will deal with the trip from the time we left Edin- burgh till we arrive in our headquarters in Canton, China, will be an interesting one. We expect to arrive in China the 3rd of March, and we shall be looking for letters from you soon after we arrive. With the friendliest of greetings to all, Most sincerely, Floyd E. Bates, M. D. S. D.

Union College Press Legal status of slavery was as firmly established as inheritance of property or private ownership of land. Objections to it on moral and ethical grounds were always plenty, but slavery was a fixed, unalterable, economic fact—an institu- tion. Outside of the plantation buildings and moderate accumulations and stocks of goods in a few cities, the South knew but two forms of wealth, land and slaves. There was little scientific agriculture in the South, it depended for its exports chiefly on slave labor, the South could raise only such staple crops as could be profitably cultivated by rude labor of large slave gangs. Rice, corn, sugar, and cotton were some of the crops that were cultivated by the slaves, who were taught that eighteen hours was a days' work. Since white house-servants were un- known, it was necessary either to hire from slave-owners or to buy one's own cook and coachman. A slave was not an uncommon present to young people setting up housekeeping, and many min- isters were slave holders. The negro belonged to a servile race, and the best that even the free negro could hope was an inferior, imperfect, unstable statue. No legal distinction was made between the quick negro and the stupid, the coal black and the mulatto, the illegitimate son of a planter and the son of the field hand. Under the principle of parties which was universal in North America every child of slave mother was born the slave of his owner, without inquiry as to the father. Far too many were children of overseers, especially on the lonely plan- tations of absentee landlords. Others were the children of their own masters. Free negroes were especially forbidden to hold meetings or to teach one an- other to read and write. They could com- monly inherit, hold, and transmit real and personal property, but a free colored man was not allowed to testify against a white man. The negro women were clumsy, gross, elephantine in all their movements; pout- ing, grinning, and leering, sly, sensual. and shameless in all their expressions and demeanor. Among the negroes as among other races there was no fixed standard of capacity or character. Some masters never wearied of telling of the GREATNESS MEANS SERVICE (Continued from page one) it be possible that in order to be truly great one must be a servant? A servant —yes that was the word used by the Great Teacher. The words were pon- dered. After he had gone to bed that night Alton thought about those words. A servant works for others. He seeks to please his master. He does not live for himself but for others. Alton knew that servants are not counted among the great of this world. Why not? The Savior said that to serve was to be great. And He poured out His whole life to impress upon the deadened senses of men this truth, so simple, yet so deep that men have never yet fully understood it. And it has not been understood, because men have not viewed it from the light of the cross upon which died the only perfect Servant. faithfulness and attachment of their slaves; of their care for the children of the family or of their incorruptibility. The general tone toward the negro, however, was one of distrust and aversion. The negroes were often rough and brutal among themselves. In many small households with few slaves and no pa- triarchial tradition there was constant friction and flogging. The shiftlessness of the slaves, their waste of their mas- ters' property, their neglect of his ani- mals, were almost proverbial; and the looseness of the marriage-tie and the im- morality of even the best negroes were subjects of sorrow to those who felt the responsibility for them. The only art in which the negro ex- celled was music. They had an intuitive quickness in picking up simple musical instruments, and developed, if they did not invent, the banjo; but their songs were their chief intellectual efforts. The characteristic life of the negro was as a plantation laborer. The ordi- nary food of the slave was corn-bread and bacon with sweet-potatoes and some other vegetables, a peck of meal and three pounds of bacon a week. The clothing of slaves was of every variety, from the smart mulatto lady's- maid who wore the still-bresh dress that had been her young mistresses, down to the pickaninny who went as nature made him. The ideal plantation had a "great house" or family mansion with its ave- nues of live oaks sweeping up to the front doors and at a little distance the negro quarters. Each slave cabin was a framed building, the walls boarded, and white washed on the outside, lathed and plastered within. It was divided into family tenements, each twenty-one by twenty-one; each tenement divided into three rooms, and each tenement was oc- cupied on the average by five persons. On many plantations the slaves greatly enjoyed religious meetings. There were many separate negro churches, small, rough buildings, standing at cross roads far away from settlements. The negro had his most enjoyment in the camp meetings. The question of future life came home to the negro because he was so much more subject to death than his white brother. The greatest loss of life was among the children. The death rate was and continued to be much larger than that of the whites. Alton had seen a great light. It was to be the guiding star of his life. He would follow the Servant; follow Him in life plans and aspirations; follow Him in blessing others by an unselfish life lived for others; yes, if need be, follow Him in dying, if thereby others might catch a glimpse of the Servant—the Son of God. Alton was true to his vision. He worked hard many long years to gain an education that would make him a better servant. Then he threw his whole life into helping others see the beautiful life of the Prince of the Universe— Prince, yet Servant. G. WELLMAN CHURCH SPEAKER (Continued from page one) Referring to Christ's instruction to His disciple Peter, "Feed my sheep," the speaker continued: "Those that lead out in Sabbath school work should so under- stand the task that is given them that they will have something with which to feed the sheep each time they come into the Sabbath school. How may the Sab- bath school worker and leader and teach- er follow the Master in their teaching? 'He spoke to them in language so simple that they could not fail of understand- ing.'—'Ministry of Healing,' p. 23. You will find nothing in the teachings of the blessed Lord that even a child cannot comprehend and understand. 'Varied were the circumstances and needs of those who besought His aid, and none who came to Him went away unhelped. From Him flowed a stream of healing power, and in body and mind and soul men were made whole.' "Oh, that such a consecration might come into the hearts and lives of the leaders in our Sabbath schools." Pastor Wellman continued, "and that it could be said of them that when men went forth from every Sabbath school session they were more whole in heart and in soul than they had ever been before. 'In the life of Christ, everythng was made subordinate to His work.' Our leadership in the feeding of the flock of Christ should come first and be on our minds and hearts all through the week. 'Every one who accepts Christ as his personal Saviour will long for the privilege of serving God.' He will endeavor to im- prove all his faculties. He will perform every duty as unto God. I Tim. 4:12: 'Be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spir- it, in faith, and in purity.' " C. W. ELIOT PRESIDENT AT 35 "The late Charles William Eliot be- came president of Harvard University at the age of 35. At that time Harvard had had a succession of short-term presi- dents, who were not able to measure up to the requirements of the office. They had been clergyman, men of letters, schol- ars, classicists. Eliot was an instructor in chemistry at the newly formed Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology when the call came to him. He knew "little Latin and less Greek." "The appointment astounded the grad- uate body and the public, for it was too great a departure from collegiate tradi- tion. Chemistry was a brand new science in those days, and a very "practical" one, looked upon with disdain by- the high-brows. And Eliot was not even a leader in it. It was as if a motor-car engineer of lesser importance should to- day be made president of a great law school. "The world owes much to Charles William Eliot, but what of the man 'who made him president? Whose was the prescience, in that little group of seven men called the Corporation, "The Presi- dent and Fellows of Harvard University," which singled out this unknown chemist without any record of accomplishment, who could not read a page of Greek, discerned in him the profound judgment and administrative ability, presented his name for a post hitherto occupied only by clergymen and scholars, and "sold" himto the six other Fellows?" "But for the feat of 'salesmanship' America, and the world for that matter, might still be plodding along with the notion that higher education was intended solely for the so-called learned profes- sions.

Jose, Costa Rica, Apartado 1059 Oct. 17, 1931 Dear Mrs. Wade: We are all settled now, though it was quite a long process. We had to screen the porch and windows and sod the back yard. We also have a garden, and though I planted our rose bushes but three months ago, they have already bloomed. The flowers here are gorgeous. We have many of the tropical' flowers and also all the flowers that grow in the cool climates. We are nearly 5000 feet above o sea level here in San Jose, and it makes a delightful climate. No more do we toss all night longing for a breath of fresh air. We pull our blankets up and sleep the sleep of the "just and the unjust"A n rolled into one! Our house has five rooms and a bath.

When I walk down the paved streets and see an ox parked by a Packard car—, I just have to laugh. The women are noted for their beauty and many of them are very lovely, but one also sees loathsome, to- bacco-chewing old hags, and wonders if such old thrones have ever been wife or mother. They are so very repulsive. The people are quite careful about their per- sonal appearance, and always put the best foot forward when they step out. When the shadows grow long on the mountains that surround San Jose, every daughter gets her gay colored pillow, opens her window, leans gracefully on the pillow, and watches the passers-by. Soon her lover arrives. The first year he courts her at the window. The next year he is privileged to sit in the uncomfort- ably stiff parlor with one of her relatives as a chaperon.
