Farewell
Oscar Snipes
The year 1923 is gone —gone with all its opportunities and pos­
sibilities never again to return. 
And with it has gone the board of 
’23 never again to meet in like capacity.
A new year is just being ushered in, and with it a new Board 
comes onto the stage of action. 
It is with mingled feelings of 
of joy and sadness that we turn over our duties to the new Board of 
’24: a feeling of joy because we can heave a sigh of relief as we lay 
the burdens from our shoulders onto the shoulders of others, per­
haps more able to bear them than were ours. 
We rejoice because 
we know that they will continue to hold up Union’s standards, and 
make the Messenger her official mouthpiece to the highest degree.
Again, as we take a panoramic view of our year’s work, we are 
reminded of the many pleasant times spent together, of the many 
plans formulated; and a feeling of sadness steals over us as we real­
ize that never more shall these be ours to enjoy; that we must leave 
our plans for others to fulfill or replace with better ones.
It might be proper to pause here and consider a few things that 
we have accomplished during our term of office. 
But, as I think, I 
also doubt as to the advisibility of saying anything about our accom­
plishments. 
True, I think of many things that we did accomplish, 
and I think of many more things that we planned to accomplish but 
failed to do because of shortness of time. 
Hence, lest we should 
reflect a boastful attitude, I shall mention only three things which 
we have accomplished. The first thing we did this fall was to install 
a type mailing-list. 
Next, we adopted a permanent cover for our 
paper,—two valuable improvements, we think. 
The third is the 
drawing up of a long needed constitution.
We, the Board of ’23, take this opportunity to thank our friends, 
subscribers and advertisers for their hearty cooperation during the 
past year. 
We wish to thank the student body for its interest 
and support which cheered us and helped ub to press on when the 
way before us seemed dark and hard. 
We thank the faculty mem­
bers for their kind, helpful interest which has been a moral as well 
as material benefit to us. 
May you all continue to give your hearty 
support to the new Board and make it possible for the highest hopes 
and aims of the Board of ’24 to be attained.

To Every MESSENGER Reader
J. C. Christenson
To the friends and subscribers of the Messenger, we, the new 
Board, wish to extend, in this, the first number of nineteen hundred 
twenty-four, most hearty wishes for a Happy New Year.
The new Messenger Board is gratified to note the precedent 
which the retiring board has left in the splendid results of their ef­
forts which are evidenced in the subscription list and in the financial 
standing of our paper. 
It is our desire, as we take their place, to 
carry out the plans which they have contemplated. 
Our aim is to 
publish a Messenger which will be so full of the good, wholesome 
spirit of Union College, that it will aid materially in filling the col­
lege with live, earnest, energetic students. 
We hope to represent 
Union College so well through our school paper that the perusal of 
the pages of each number will add to your desire to take advantage 
of your educational privileges; and that out of all the institutions 
from which you have to make a choice, you will be influenced to 
seek the best place for realizing your ambition; and that place, to 
the minds of those who can speak from personal experience, is ‘ ‘Dear 
Old Union.” 
In this college it is impossible to live to yourself. The 
students who come here from far and near in their association to­
gether, and with their instructors, learn to become members of the 
large family of Unionites. 
Their views of life and of the world are 
broadened, and their plans for the future include the whole world.
If our efforts will help fill your hearts with a desire to join us in 
the enjoyment of the engrossing subjects, the pleasant duties and 
activities, and the genuine pleasures of college life at Union, we 
will feel that we have accomplished something worth while. 
We 
are waiting to welcome you.
We also bid you welcome to our mailing list, to help swell our 
subscription list to the one-thousand mark.
Again we wish you the best for the coming year.
We must get ready for places before we can get them and keep 
them. 
—Ral-ph Parlette.

mat, inventor, statesman,

the authors of the Decla­

author of Poor Richard's

By bringing electricity down from the clouds 
over a kite string, it was a simple thing to 
prove that lightning was nothing more than a 
tremendous electrical flash.
Electrical machines 
bearing the mark of

Company, in use 
throughout the world, 
are raising standards 
of living by doing the 
work of millions of 
men.
For centuries before Franklin flew his kite in 
1751 philosophers had been speculating about 
the nature of lightning. With electrified globes 
and charged bottles, others had evolved the 
theory that the puny sparks of the laboratory 
and the stupendous phenomenon of the 
heavens were related; but Franklin substi­
tuted fact for theory—by scientific experiment.
Roaring electrical discharges—man-made 
lightning as deadly as that from the clouds— 
are now produced by scientists in the Research 
Laboratories of the General Electric Company. 
They are part of experiments which are mak­
ing it possible to use the power of mountain 
torrents farther and farther from the great 
industrial centers.

And tke Mew Tear Came
Martha Doris Mac Elvain
Now there was, in a certain country, a territory named the 
“Mind of Man,” and it was peopled with Thoughts, and these 
Thoughts were of divers kinds, being both great and small, gay 
and grave, good and—sometimes—bad; though few bad Thoughts 
dwelt therein, for Man, who was the proprietor and husbandman, 
was of a goodly and generous disposition and would not knowing­
ly shelter in his realm anything which might in some way or at 
some time affect his neighbors harmfully; so that, altogether, his 
was a comfortable estate; the Thoughts dwelt together harmoni­
ously; their diverse natures balancing one another in as true a 
Utopian manner as one could wish, and in this manner many days 
passed until it came nigh unto the beginning of the close of the 
year.
Now, at this time, a new Thought came to dwell in their midst 
and he was greater than the rest, being exceedingly beautiful and 
strong withal, and his presence was much honored throughout the 
entire estate, and Man, perceiving that this was a Prince of 
Thoughts, builded for him a strong tower with windows over­
looking the estate and placed him therein, saying, “Abide here; 
soon the New Year cometh, and then shall thy reign begin. 
Thou 
shalt come forth new with the New Year, and thou shalt do glori­
ous things for the People of the Country and we shall make a 
name for ourselves in the land.” 
And with this he dismissed the 
Thought and went his way.
And, as time passed on, each day the Prince Thought gazed 
out from the windows of his tower and longed to be at work, until 
he grew so tired that he watched no longer but withdrew into the 
dark recesses of the tower and waited: and, with the passing of 
many days, the New Year came and Man opened the door of the 
tower, but no sound was heard and he made a great search and 
found nothing save a mound of dust in the stronghold. 
And 
thereat, a great grief shook the estate so that even the Tower 
crumbled and fell—and so it remains to this day, a heap of broken 
rubbish in the Mind of Man.
Now there was, m this same country, another territory like
unto the first and called also the “Mind of Man” and it likewise 
was peopled with Thoughts, these being of divers kinds, both great 
and small, gay and grave, good and—perhaps occasionally—bad;— 
for this Man was like unto his brother, of a kindly and generous 
disposition. 
And there came also to dwell in his estate a new 
Thought, greater than the rest, being exceedingly beautiful and 
strong withal, so that Man, the proprietor and husbandman, took 
notice of him and said unto him, “You appear indeed to be a Prince 
of Thoughts. 
Now the New Year is at hand; come, prove your­
self if by that time you are able to make your place in the world.” 
And he gave the Prince of Thought both Time and Attention to 
assist him and the days passed full of industry and preparation; 
and when the New Year came in their midst there had been much 
good done, so that the friends of Man smiled upon him with favor 
and when Others from a Far Country came to the land, these 
friends would point his way and say unto the strangers, “Look 
you unto that Man, for he is the kind of citizen that inhabits this 
land.” 
And the way-farers would go their way marveling for 
that they had seen with their own eyes a Man who had had a great 
Thought and had used it.

A Mew Man

The sun had sunk behind the horizon, and night shrouded the 
earth with darkness. 
In but a few hours the clock would toll the 
hour of midnight, and announce the arrival of the new year.
Tom Bennet, reclining in his easy chair before the open fire­
place, watched the hazy smoke arise from his pipe, and dreamed 
dreams not of the future, but of the past. 
He was thinking of 
how much that year had meant to him,—that year so near to ebb 
away into the past, upon the fleeting wings of time, never to re­
turn to shield the moments that were idly spent, or to correct the 
errors blurred upon the pages of time. 
He was not counting the 
gems of kind deeds and precious words of comfort which might 
have been bestowed upon someone in need. 
No, he was thinking 
of how he, in his shrewdness and skill, had brought wealth upon 
himself. 
He recalled the times that he had stood almost upon the 
verge of ruin, but by wisdom and tact had triumphed gloriously. 
He boasted to himself how he had so far excelled his fellow men 
in rising to the standard of being called the richest man in town. 
All this he meditated upon, as the moments flickered past.
“Daddy,” came the voice of a little curley-haired girl as a 
chubby little hand thrust itself into the palm of Tom’s hand, 
“Daddy, what’s a New Year’s resolution?”
“Why, darling, a New Year’s resolution is a resolution you 
make on New Year’s day.”
“Yes, but Daddy, what’s a resolution? I don’t jus’ understand. 
Miss Davids said at school th’ other day that we must come pre­
pared to tell our resolutions for opening exercises next Monday 
morning.”
Tom lifted the frail little body upon his knee. 
“To make a 
resolution is to determine to really do something. I think it would 
be just fine for my little girl to resolve to be just as good as she 
can be. 
Just to be a little sunbeam in Daddy’s life.”
“But Daddy, I am as good as I can be. 
I want something 
new.”
The man laughed, “Lila, you’re something new yourself. 
Every day you give me new inspiration, new vigor and hope to
14
The Educational Messenger
do better today than I did yesterday. 
In fact, I believe I’ll be a 
new man if I’m with you very long.”
“Oh Daddy, that would be the best'resolution for you. Won’t 
you please resolve to be a new man?”
An amused expression crossed the face of Tom. 
“A new 
man? Please explain yourself, little miss. That’s something else 
new you have to spring upon your old dad.”
“Why, what the minister said at church! He read in the Bible 
that you must put away your sins and love God and love every­
body else like you love yourself and then you are a new man. 
Please, Daddy!”
The words, so simple and pure, fell upon the ears of Tom 
Bennet with more forceful meaning than had any sermon from the 
lips of the most cultured minister. They penetrated deep into his 
heart and stirred the finer emotions within him which had so 
long lain dormant and forgotten.
Long after the rest of the family had retired, Tom remained 
in his place by the fire-place. 
His meditations again carried him 
into the past, this time to his childhood days, when he was a lad 
no older than his little daughter, Lila. He remembered the loving 
mother who had earnestly striven to instruct him in the paths of 
righteousness; he pictured his father with an open Bible upon his 
knee, reading aloud to the family.
Tom had not been a bad boy, but he had carelessly drifted 
away from his early training and lost his reverence for spiritual 
living. As he wandered out into the world to make his own way 
in life, he thought only of making a fortune. When the day came 
that he was wed to the most beautiful girl in the valley, he had 
a magnificent home to give her. 
And when, a few years later, a 
little daughter came into their home, most costly gifts were be­
stowed upon her.
As one by one he recalled the many incidents of his life, a 
tinge of dissatisfaction crept into his soul. 
Was he all that he 
might have been if he had devoted his time, his talent, his money 
and himself to that which was richer, more beautiful and more 
lasting? Had the world been benefited to any degree whatsoever 
by his living? 
Was he a disappointment to his parents who had 
pointed out to him the true way? Was his name mentioned in his 
wife’s prayers as she silently knelt by her bedside each morn­
ing and evening? 
Was he giving his daughter the respect and
The Educational Messenger
15
honor he would enjoy for her to have when she grew to woman­
hood? In all, was he not missing the greatest joys and privileges 
God could bestow upon man? 
How he wished he had life to live 
over again, to improve the opportunities wherein he had failed 
and start life anew.
Then suddenly the realization came to him that he did have a 
chance to start life anew. The pleading words echoed in his mind, 
“Won’t you please resolve to be a new man?” He saw the wistful, 
tear-stained eyes appealing to him and knew that it was with 
deep sincerity that the child had murmured, “Please, Daddy.”
The midnight hour found Tom Bennet absorbing the precious 
truths recorded in the pages of the most Holy Book. 
With new 
vision and new understanding he read the words: “He that findeth 
life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life, for my sake, shall 
find it.”
The clock in the steeple-tower chimed twelve and reports from 
a gun resounded through the air of that clear crystal night to 
welcome the birth of a new year.
From the sleeping-room of the child came the voice of angelic 
lips, “Daddy, I’ve been dreaming that Jesus came and made you 
a new man. I jus’ wis’t it was true.”
“It is true, my little messenger from God. It’s all very true, 
and here’s a kiss to seal my promise to both you and my Creator 
to live up to the New Year’s resolution I have just made, for I 
have found a new life in Jesus.”
I find the doing of the will of God, 
leaves me no time for disputing about 
His plans. 
—MacDonald.

How I Work 
WayTkrougk College
“Can I work my way through school?” 
This is the question 
that comes to many who desire to enter Union. This was my ques­
tion until some pessimistic soul said, “It can’t be done.” 
Then 
and there I made up my mind to do it.
At once I wrote to the business manager, asking him to re­
serve me a job, and when I arrived at Union I found it awaiting 
me. In fact I found all I wanted to do and more. Union College, 
with its farm, dairy, woodwork shop, print shop, bakery, book 
store, grocery store, power house, and an abundance of janitor 
and repair work, is an ideal place to find a large amount of work, 
Besides this there is usually a good supply of work in College View 
and Lincoln.
At the first of the year I estimated my expenses and from 
that figured the number of hours I would need to work per day, 
and then planned my work accordingly. At the end of each period 
I again checked up to be sure I was on the safe side, and as a 
result, at the end of the school year I had twenty-five dollars in 
cash coming to me. I feel that the secret of my success was sys­
tematic planning. 
A steady job with regular hours proved to be 
the best in the long run, for while the wages were not high, yet 
it was steady and could be depended upon, rain or shine.
I also found that with careful planning I could get my lessons 
and at the same time enjoy some of the pleasures of school life. 
And there is a real, lasting pleasure in conquering obstacles, in 
doing the impossible.
If you want to go to school and have not the funds to pay your 
expenses, come to Union and show yourself and others that it can 
be done; for anyone with a reasonable amount of ambition and a 
good supply of “pep” and “stick-to-itiveness” can work his way 
through Union, and in doing it not only get a book education, but 
develop those traits of character that arq worth far more than 
education obtained from books.

A Letter to You
Roger A. Curtis
Union College, 
January 1, 1924.
Dear Bob:
Your letter was forwarded here and I was happily surprised to 
get it. I can not blame you for not knowing that I am here at Union. 
Talk of doing a thing is cheap, but when one does the thing the 
price comes a little higher. 
Oh! no, I’m not kicking, I get my 
money’s worth. 
I talked of coming here two years before I came, 
but could never see my way clear. 
You know Bob, I was not born 
with the proverbial spoon in my mouth, and as a result I have al­
ways had to be cautious in obligating myself in matters involving 
money.
One day last Spring I got to thinking about how I was losing 
out in one of the most important things in life—an education—and 
firmly made up my mind to go to school. 
Deciding where to attend 
was no problem. I knew where I wanted to go and immediately be­
gan working to that end.
I know, Bob, this sounds more like a revelation of my financial 
ups and downs than it does like a letter, but as we both are in simi­
lar circumstances, and since you ought to be in school, this little 
narrative may help you in solving your problem.
You see, I wanted to get work here that would enable me to 
learn a trade, and at the same time pay my way through school. 
There is nothing like having something to fall back upon if the 
necessity presents itself.
Well, I got in touch with Mr. Jeys, of the College Press, and 
told him my experience, and asked him if he could use me in his de­
partment. 
I received two letters from him, and you have the re­
sult. 
I’m here at Union, working in the print shop.
“Is it interesting work?” 
Well I guess yes. 
Even now at 
times I catch myself wondering whether I want to teach, or be a 
printer. 
I’ll tell you, old boy, there’s something fascinating about 
it; but I guess that is true of anything that one is interested in.
The problem of working one’s way through school, expressed 
concretely is this:—five hours a day every working day in the week,
18
except Sunday, and on Sunday ten hours. 
Repeat this every week 
for four weeks, and a month is gone. 
Do this nine times, and— 
well, the school year is over, and one has worked his way through 
school; not nearly so hard as it looked at the beginning. 
The secret 
is this, Bob: get a job that you like, or can learn to like, and keep 
everlastingly at it. 
Life will seem sweeter and better for the 
experience, and in the end an education will be the reward.
Hoping that I have said something that will help you in making 
the right decision, and expecting to see here in the very near 
future, I am, sincerely,
Your Old Schoolmate,
Roger.
Hot? I Make Mj) Wa^ Tkrougk Union
Louis E. Niermeyer
It is said that the student in college is most fortunate who 
has to meet his expenses though his own efforts, instead of having 
his way paid by “Dad” or some rich Uncle. 
I happen to be among 
that “fortunate” class, along with a large number of other students 
of Union College.
In order to make my way through school I find I must make use 
of every spare moment, and so arrange my daily program that I 
have a definite time for each task. 
My work is regular, consisting 
of sweeping the hall on second floor of South Hall for my domestic 
time; driving the college truck afternoons, and delivering milk from 
the college dairy to stores in the village, before the morning classes 
begin. 
This work is sufficient to cover all my expenses, and with 
thirteen hours of school work, keeps me very busy, and yet I have 
time to attend many of the religions and social activities of the 
school.
I believe that any student who is willing to work, and will find 
work that is regular, will be able to meet his expenses, in this way, 
and will not need a large amount of money as he enters college. 
He certainly does not need to feel that the students of Union College 
will consider him a little below them, socially or otherwise, because 
of his working; for there exists here the most democratic and liberal 
spirit, in this respect, among the student body, that one could wish.

Indeed, how could it be otherwise when over fifteen per cent of 
the students are working all, or a large part, of their expenses, 
and practically all the others are working at least their charge for 
domestic time, even though it might not be necessary for them to 
do so.
I believe the prospects, for any student desiring an education 
at Union, even though he does not possess the cash to meet his ex­
penses, are just as bright as is his willingness to work.
BR-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r !!!!!!!!, followed by moans, groans, and 
sighs from various rooms! 
“Oh! there goes the rising bell! 
I’d 
give anything to sleep a couple of hours longer.” 
Some yawn, 
stretch, and fall to sleep again, only to be awakened by the second 
bell fifteen minutes later: while others sleep undisturbed through it 
all, and I must creep around and give them a little shake.
To think that I am the one who causes all this distress, —but 
it is my work. 
Having rung the rising bell, I unlock the doors to 
leave the dormitory on my way to the kitchen. 
It is dark outside, 
in spite of the moon and stars which may be shining as a few of us 
girls go to the kitchen at this early hour, but the brisk morning air 
invigorates us for our day’s-work.
Upon arriving at the kitchen, we begin our work of paring 
potatoes, making roasts, peeling onions, opening cans, and making 
other preparations necessary for the dinner. 
After breakfast we 
continue working. 
Sometimes I leave my kettle of chocolate pud­
ding to take up work in the zoology laboratory, where I assist in 
dissecting earthworms, crayfish, and grasshoppers. 
This is a de­
cided contrast, but I find it equally interesting.
My work also takes me to the Domestic Arts Room, away up 
on the third floor of the college building. 
It is my duty to clean this 
room and assist in the preparation of class problems. 
At times I 
have charge of the elementary sewing class.
All of these departments are of special interest to me. 
I find 
the experience very practical and of as much value as my class work, 
but best of all, I thereby earn a part of my way through college.

Just as the ripples started by a pebble pass on, so the influence 
of Union passes on. 
The loyalty and enthusiasm of Iowa’s students 
has caused the home state to ask, “What’s going on at Union?” 
It is just this. 
We like Union, so we want everyone else to come; 
so we have written home, and to friends, and have talked ‘ ‘Union” 
during our vacation. 
As a result, our brothers, sisters and friends— 
six at least—are coming the second semester to join us.
We hope there will be many more next year.

Our slogan is “more Colorado students in Union.” 
We are 
lonesome for your association, therefore we are interested in getting 
you here. 
We need you, and Union must have you. 
We are enjoy­
ing our school life here very much, but it would be much more plea­
sant with you—our old schoolmates and friends—here to share our 
joys. 
We have had some very pleasant gatherings of Coloradoans; 
but how incomplete they were without you who are now in Colo­
rado. 
It is our hope that we can have more good times next semes­
ter. 
Five have promised to be with us, and it is our sincere desire 
that you, too, will come as soon as it is at all possible.

The Practical Side of College Training
F. W. Griffin
“Every youth, on leaving school, should have acquired a 
knowledge of some trade or occupation by which, if need be, he 
may earn a livelihood.
“While every person needs some knowledge of different 
handicrafts, it is indispensible that he become proficient in at least 
one.”—Education, p. 218.
With a firm belief in the inspiration of the above statements, 
and a determination to develop a plan whereby this object could 
be attained, the writer began operations in the woodwork depart­
ment of Union College at the beginning of the fall term.
It was our desire to accomplish three definite purposes. First, 
to give a thorough training to the students, so that upon complet­
ing their work in this department they would be proficient in a 
valuable trade. Secondly, to provide employment to a large num­
ber of students by which they could earn a part or all of their 
school expenses. 
Thirdly, to develop various lines of commercial 
work, which, besides giving work to students, would pay all the 
expenses of the department, and after these industries were proper­
ly developed, provide a means of revenue for the college.
The reader will note that we have placed the student train­
ing first in the list. We wish it distinctly understood that we con­
sider this training the essential object of the industrial work. A 
man is not an expert dairyman because he has learned to milk 
cows, neither is a man a woodworker or a carpenter because he 
can saw a board off straight. 
He needs an all-round training 
covering all the operations required to enable him to perform in­
telligently any task assigned him. 
Then he will be able, if need 
be, to gain a livelihood by means of his trade, or if sent to a mis­
sion field the carpenter will be able to build his house and con­
struct his furniture.
We have placed the providing of employment for the students 
next on our list because we believe that should be a very import­
ant part of the shop work. But in order to provide a large amount 
of work for the young men who must earn their way it becomes 
necessary to manufacture various articles for the trade. 
And
right here is where the trained student is able to prove the value 
of his training. 
As soon as a worker becomes proficient he is 
given charge of a part of the work and acts as a foreman over 
others who are less capable. This develops leadership and makes 
possible a more diversified line of work than could be done if all 
the responsibility were carried by one man.
This has been our method of proceedure during the first 
semester. 
No student begins his work by “making a library 
table” or by any other project. 
He gets right down to business 
and learns how to sharpen a plane, and other tools, and how to 
keep them in the best condition. Then he learns how to square-up 
stock, how to make glue joints, how to mortise and tenon, how to 
rabbet and dado, how to select lumber, to estimate quantities, to 
get out bills of materials, etc., etc. 
By the time he has become 
proficient in these things the student is at liberty not only to make 
a library table but any other project he chooses.
The Union College Craft Shop is not looking for the boy who 
just “wants a job,” but we are always open to the energetic, am­
bitious young man who is willing to start at the bottom of the 
ladder and study while he climbs. 
A number of young men are 
putting in all their spare time in the shop and we plan on being 
able to give profitable employment to all who are willing to co­
operate with us.
Now just a word about our plans. We have been very much 
handicapped for lack of room and proper equipment. We are now, 
however, enlarging our quarters quite materially and are purchas­
ing several fine new machines. This will make it possible for us 
to get into the commercial work in a profitable way.
No definite decision has been reached as yet as to just what 
will be our specialty, but we have in mind several lines of work, 
any one of which should prove profitable. 
We are well situated, 
geographically, to engage in the manufacture of high grade furni­
ture, and already some of our students have produced some fine 
specimens of cabinet work, and have learned to do excellent up­
holstering. 
We have done a large amount of furniture repair 
work and refinishing, and believe there is a good field here for 
the manufacture of sashes, doors, inside house trim, etc. 
Any 
of these lines of work require a considerable amount of floor space

and finishing rooms. 
With our new building we will be able to 
put our plans into execution.
In addition to our classes in Woodwork I and II, and the class 
in Carpentry, we also have classes in Mechanical Drawing and 
Architectural Drawing. 
Fine work is being done in these classes, 
but space will not permit us to say more about that at this time. 
Each of these studies gives two college credits for the semester. 
If you desire to connect with a school where a strong effort 
is being put worth “To find and to follow God’s way in education 
more perfectly,” come to Union College.

Getting Out a Paper
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 print 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 appreciation.
If we do print them, the paper is filled with junk.
Like as not some fellow will say we swiped this from an ex­
change.
And we did.

The Week of Prater
The faculty and students of Union College enjoyed a spiritual 
feast during the Week of Prayer. 
It was a week of real consecra­
tion—of sincere devotion to things holy and sacred. 
It was a week 
in which many battles and struggles with the evil one took place, 
and, thanks to God, we are able to say, it was a week of victories 
and triumphs.
During the week half-lessons were given by the teachers, so 
more time could be given to the spiritual things of life. 
The regu­
lar readings for the Week of Prayer were read each evening in the 
chapel; then each morning at the regular chapel hour the time was 
given to devotional services. 
These services were very impressive. 
They were not spectacular, lengthy, or emotional; but as the plain 
and solemn truths were brought out, the entire student body, with 
one or two exceptions, responded. 
All professing Christians re­
consecrated their lives to the Master, and many took up the cross 
for the first time.
We considered ourselves very fortunate in having some of our 
prominent brethren with us at this season. 
Elder 0. Montgomery, 
from the General Conference, and Elder S. G. Haughey, president 
of the Nebraska Conference, rendered faithful service to us. 
We 
received great inspiration from listening to these men as they ex­
horted and reasoned with us, and showed us from God’s Word the 
consistency, sensibility and necessity of living the Christian life. 
It was pointed out in a manner most vivid, how, when we live a sin­
ful life, we are only cheating and deceiving ourselves. 
The time 
in which we are living was given great stress and emphasis, and 
everyone realized it was time to draw near to God.
The entire group of teachers and students was helped and 
blessed by the Week of Prayer; but, what about this week and next 
week, and all the weeks of our sojourn here on earth? That is the 
question. 
We must be diligent and make each week one of earnest 
prayer and Bible study. 
Never was prayer needed more than it is 
just now. We are so rushed and so busy; and yet we take time to 
feed our physical bodies. 
How much more important are our spiri­
tual bodies, and their food. 
God has something to say to every 
heart and He longs to say it, but He can not unless we stop, and be 
still, and listen. 
John G. Terry.

The purpose of this department is to acquaint the readers of the Messenger with former Union 
College students who ha\)e become prominent in their chosen field of endeavor, or ha^e realized their 
desire to become burden bearers in the movement dedicated to giving the Advent Message to the world.
Guy Dail, a graduate of Union College from the Classical 
Course with the class of 1895, is perhaps better known in 
Europe than in America. 
Soon after graduating 
he went to 
Europe where he did faithful work in connection with the Advent­
ist cause. 
For many years he was Secretary of the European Divi­
sion Conference. 
His talent and ability to learn languages readily, 
fitted him in a particular way for work in the European field.
While still in College his capacity for hard work was recognized 
by his student friends. 
Like many others he worked to meet his 
expenses while in school. 
His natural talent aided him, as he was 
chosen by President Lawhead to act as his private secretary.
Elder Dail is now acting as Bible teacher at Pacific Union Col­
lege.
Mrs. Guy Dail, also a graduate of Union College, was known in 
her student days as Anna Jeffers. 
She was a member of the class 
of 1896, finishing the Scientific Course. 
Students of those days say 
she was a very promising young woman, and believe that the credit 
for her husband’s success is partly due to her.
Dr. Newton G. Evans is well known throughout the Advent­
ist Denomination as President of the Loma Linda college of Medical 
Evangelists. 
Under his administration the College has made excel­
lent progress. 
The enrolment has increased, new buildings in Loma 
Linda and Los Angeles have been erected, facilities and equipment 
improved, and the school brought up to the Class A grade. 
It now 
ranks as one of the largest and best medical schools on the Pacific 
Coast.
Doctor Evans is a graduate of Union College. 
He completed 
the Scientific Course in 1895, being a member of the second class to 
graduate from the college.
When a student in Union College the doctor was held in high 
esteem by his classmates and teachers. He was regarded as a hard­
working, thorough going, Christian young man.
The Doctor’s wife is also a graduate of Union College, having 
completed the Scientific Course in 1896. 
She was known to her 
student friends of that time as Cora Deming.

Celestial Distances
Bryan G. Lamb
Most every story telling the triumphs of modern science be­
gins with astronomy. 
It is proper that it should. 
Astronomy is 
the oldest of the sciences. 
Besides, the science of the heavens has 
become not only boundless with regard to distance in space, but more 
come not only boundless with regard to distance in space, but more 
awe-inspiring and marvelous as men have extended their investi­
gations.
Sir William Herschel, perhaps more than any other, was a 
prominent figure in the establishment of sidereal astronomy. 
It 
was he who discovered the motion of the solar system through 
space, and to him is given the credit of first observing Uranus in 
the year 1781. 
He was born in Germany but spent the greater 
part of his life in England. 
His most valuable work on the stars 
and nebulae of the southern hemisphere was done at the Cape of 
Good Hope. The exploration of the universe telescopically, to de­
termine its form and structure, he considered to be his life work. 
Certainly he accomplished much toward the object for which he 
lived.
The modern telescope has aided wonderfully in seeking out 
and solving a few of the great problems of space. 
The 100-inch 
reflector on Mt. Wilson—the largest of its kind in the world— 
gathers 160,000 times as much light as the human eye. No wonder 
that through it thousands upon thousands of stars appear which 
are ordinarily far beyond our vision. Its clock and motor control 
are so delicate that it can follow a star all night long without the 
slightest variation. It is by means of a series of telescopes located 
in various parts of the world, and by the careful work done with 
them, that progress is being made in determining the size and 
distances of the heavenly bodies.
Astronomers are often asked: “Which is the most distant 
star?” 
This is a big question, and supposes that astronomers have 
taken careful pains to measure each of the stars, of which there 
are 55,000,000 brighter than the seventeenth magnitude. The fact 
is, that the distances of less than five hundred stars, star clusters 
and nebulae, have been determined upon computations at all re­
liable. 
Thousands are observed whose distances can never be
The Educational Messenger
27
closely estimated, because their remoteness is too great for meas­
urement.
Various comparisons have been devised to give us at least a 
partial conception of the space with which we are surrounded. Sup­
pose that you could travel at a speed of sixty miles an hour and 
continue in any certain direction day and night. 
At that speed 
it would require 175 years to reach the sun. To proceed to Jupiter 
700 years would elapse, while to far-out Neptune your journey 
could only end with the vast period of 4,260 years more. 
It is 
because of these inadequate comparisons that astronomers have 
accepted the light year as a more satisfactory unit of measure­
ment. That is, the distance that light travels at the rate of 186,330 
miles per second in one year is equivalent to 5,800,000,000,000 miles. 
Light from the sun at this terrific speed reaches the earth in a 
little more than eight minutes, and passing from planet to planet 
spans the solar system in a period of about four hours.
Using, then, the light year as the unit of measurement, the 
nearest fixed star with, reference to our planetary family is Alpha 
Centauri, of the southern hemisphere. 
Its distance is 4.3 light 
years. Next in order of nearness and importance, perhaps, would 
be Sirius, the brightest of all the stars we see, whose light must 
travel 8.7 years in getting to the earth; approximately fifty trillion 
miles. Betelgeuse, a great star in the constellation of Orion, and 
so successfully measured by the Michelson interferometer, was 
found to be about 160 light years distant and to have the great 
diameter of 215 million miles. Perhaps the largest star known is 
Antares, some 370 light years away, and having a diameter of 420 
million miles. Its brightness exceeds that of our sun about 3,000 
times. 
Canopus, another celestial giant, has been estimated to be 
500 light years from us and its light giving power equals to 40,000 
bodies like our sun.
These great star suns already mentioned are by no means the 
farthest bodies seen by astronomers. 
J. S. Plaskett, of the Cana­
dian Observatory, discovered a star in 1922 which is figured to be 
15,000 times brighter than the sun. An estimate of its heat was 
placed at 22,000 degrees centigrade, and the distance involved was 
upwards of 10,000 light years. 
Drs. Shapley and Menzel at the 
observatory near Arequipa, Peru, examined two Magellanic clouds 
of the southern skies and found one to be at 62,000 and the other
