GIRLS LEAD SEMINAR Speakers Discuss Position of Bible As Against Modern Beliefs A musical reading, "The Young Chris- tian," was given by Alice Nelson as the first number of the Gospel Workers' seminar program Friday evening. Miss Nelson presented the struggle of a young person who desired to partake of worldly pleasures and yet to be a follower of Christ. When the vision of Christ and His great love came to the hesitating youth, the pleasures of earth lost their charms, and the young Christian found peace and happiness in the companionship of the Saviour. Clara Montgomery spoke upon the topic, "Creation Versus Evolution." She called attention to the fact that the Bible contains the history of this world rather than of the universe; therefore the Scrip- ture record of creation is more or less limited to that of the earth.

Festyn Davies, appeared at the college chapel Saturday evening. March 28, in one of the most delightful lyceum numbers College View has en- joyed. Out of a partial repertoire of one hun- dred selections, twenty-one numbers were given in the two-hour performance of the evening. The program opened with the chorus, "The March of the Men of Harlech." "Farewell to the Highlands," by Rennie Pauson, "Immortalis," by Edwin Walker, sung by Howell Williams, baritone; and another chorus, "0 Peaceful Night," by Edward German, made up the first group of selections. 'Killarney," by Balfe, was received so enthusiastically by the audience that the chorus responded with "The Song of the Jolly Roger - (Chudleigh-Candish). Emrys Jones, tenor, sang "For You Alone," and he was followed by the en- semble singing "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny." "The Toreador," a baritone solo from the opera Carmen, was sung by Henryd Jones. The remainder of the program was presented as follows: "Hymn to Apollo (Gounod); "Little Tommy"; "The Witches Dance" (MacDowell), piano- forte solo by Norman Evans, accompan- ist; "Boys of the Old Brigade" (Parks); "Goin' Home" (Largo from the New World Symphony, Anton Dvorak); "An ie Darlin — (Margery Watkins), and "Mary Darlin'," sung by Harry Wil- liams, tenor soloist; "The Lost Chord" (Sullivan); "Kentucky Babe" (Geibet); "Asleep in the Deep," and "Easter Flowers," sung by Jack Newbury, bass. "Ar Hyd y Nos," (All Through the Night), was the concluding number of the evening, and it was sung in the Welsh tongue. The Imperial Ensemble has sung this old Welsh song by request before the Duke of York. As an en- core the singers hummed an old lullaby very dear to the heart of Welshmen in imitation of the way mothers in Wales have crooned the melody above the cradles of their babies down through the years. The personnel of the ensembel is as follows: Harry Williams, Jabez Trevor, Elwyn Edwards, Watkin Edwards, Emrys Jones—tenors; Howell Williams, Henryd Jones, Jack Newbury, Marlais Wrench, Ulam Hughes, R. J. Williams— basses; and Norman Evans, pianist. SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURS A car driven by Miss Ellen Wise was struck from the rear by another auto- mobile as it turned off the road from Lin- coln to Cortland to go to the home of Mr. Herman Dink, Wednesday afternoon at three o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Wise, her parents, and her sister, Bessie, and Mrs. Van Allen accompanied her. The car was turned over twice, the sec- ond time landing on Mrs. Wise, breaking both of her legs and fracturing her skull. Mr. Wise has one broken leg and in- ternal injuries. They were rushed to the St. Elizabeth hospital but Mrs. Wise died from the injury to her head. Mr. Wise's condition is reported as little changed. Mrs. Van Allen received slight injuries. Miss Ellen Wise was bruised on her knee and her neck, and Bessie was In- jured in the spine. They are in Dr. Dunn's hospital. WEEK OF PRAYER COMES TO CLOSE President Thompson and Pastor Johns Conduct Chapel and Worship Services PRAYER BANDS MEET After Enjoying the Blessings of the Week, Students Join in Hearty Praise Service Pastor Varner Johns, pastor of the Des Moines, Iowa, church was with the college during the spring Week of Prayer, March 20 to March 28. The class schedule ran as usual until Wednesday morning, when the class periods were shortened to half an hour, and special time was given for prayer bands before the chapel period. The prayer bands were led by students. During the Week of Prayer worship was held in the college chapel on Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday eve- nings. For the first chapel hour Pastor Johns compared the Christian life with that of Peter. Tuesday evening he used II Cor- inthians 5:10 as his text. "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ." "There are no exceptions," he stated. - Good intentions will avail noth- ing. What one says and thinks will count and is recorded in the books." Pastor Johns pointed out that sin is the most ex- pensive thing in the universe, but that the saving power of God can lift all. During the Wednesday chapel period Pastor Johns' talk was based on 1 Tini- (Continued on page three) 0 ALL HAVE A CROSS Christians Must Follow Christ and Give Life for Service Jesus, as a man, was great because he knew men, President Thompson brought out forcefully in his chapel talk on Mon- day. He said, "One of the great facts about Jesus was that he understood hu- man nature." He said men conjecture too much about Jesus' knowledge of science, when, as a matter of fact, it is far more important to know that Jesus did under- stand man's needs and conditions. "Jesus was great because of his very sympathetic understanding of the hearts of men. He knew that man's judgments are indeed finite in scope. Jesus knew that when the multitude was bent on making Him king, they did not understand the nature of His kingdom. So he withdrew from the crowd, went to the mountain and prayed." President Thompson stated that "peo- ple who are always with other people are not worth very much. People who abide always alone are not worth any- thing." He brought out that as Jesus did, men need to leave the crowds and pray earnestly for guidance. "Jesus went aside that he might understand what His life was for. Jesus was unmoved by applause or criticism. He had a vision and never lost sight of it. Success often makes men egotistical, but it had no such effect on Jesus." Speaking of their attitude, President Thompson said, "The Jews knew not the nature of Jesus' kingship; they looked for a political deliverer. Even the disciples failed to grasp the nature of the kingdom. They did not see the meaning of the cross. "As Jesus, the Christian must take up the cross, not with the object in view of obtaining ease, but with the purpose of pouring his life into the world's needs. Victory will come to those who live as He lived. The cross of service and truth must be held aloft that others may catch the higher vision and live." "What cross of service are we carrying in behalf of somebody else?" was the challenging question President Thompson left with his hearers. FONDA CAMPBELL SINGS SOLOS At the meeting held at the reforma- tory on Thursday evening, Walter Howe spoke on the fourth beast of Daniel seven and of the judgment. "We will all have to stand before the great Judge," he said. "Whether we are acquitted of our sins or not depends upon us. One must but confess his sins to Christ to be forgiven of them. Let us be ready to appear be- fore the Judge." Special music was furn- ished by Fonda Campbell, accompanied at the piano by Katherine Lutz. In two months and five days the Red Cross has raised $10,000,000 for drouth relief.

HILTS RETURNS Instructor in Expression Gives Lyceum Number at Keene, Texas Speaking of her recent trip to Keene, Texas, where she gave a program of readings as a number on the lyceum course at Southwestern Junior college, March 21, Mrs. Ivamae Small-Hilts, head of the Union college school of expression, said that if she hadn't had a return ticket she would have been tempted to stay. She said that the people were wonderfully friendly, and the trees and flowers so beautiful that it was hard to think of the cold north again. Mrs. Hilts said, "When I left Union I thought I was going to a place where I would find few people I had known before; but when I reached Keene, I found that a great many of the people had at some time been at Union college. It was a special pleasure to find Blanche Gilbert and Ella Johnson, members of the class of 1930, enthusiastically enjoying their work, and to see Professor and Mrs. Earl Hall, Elder and Mrs. H. S. Miller, Miss Letha Taylor, and Mr. and Mrs. George Taylor again." Mrs. Hilts said that the audience was responsive and interesting. The chapel, which seats almost as many as the col- lege chapel here, was full. The program included "The Dust of the Road," by Kenneth Sawyer Goodwin; "Where Ig- norance is Bliss," by Fielding; "A Pair of Lunatics," by Wilkes; and "The Val- iant," by Hall-Middlemass. Following the program the Misses Gil- bert and Johnson entertained informally for Mrs. Hilts. On her return trip Mrs. Hilts spent a day in Kansas City visiting Mr. Hilts' parents. STUDIO RECITAL GIVEN Students of the expression department appeared in an afternoon recital on Sun- day. Mildred Rhoads read "Tom Sawyer's Lovesickness," by Mark Twain. She was followed by Dorothy Aultfather in the "Brown Wolf," by London. - 'A' as in 'Father,' by Hughes, was a humorous sketch portraying the inter- esting metamorphosis which sometimes takes place in the speech of those who travel. The reading was given by Dorothy Foreman. "When Ma Rogers Broke Loose," was an anonymous selection interpreted by Pearl Hartwell. Myrna George, one of the more ad- vanced students of the department, read "The Boy in Blue," by Price. "Pinto Ben," by Hart, was Bert McBroom's reading. "Mrs. Roger's Revenge," read by Ruth Gardner, closed the program. There were 32,000 killed in auto ac- cidents in the United States last year, sta- tistics indicate. "The first great gift we can bestow on others is a good example." Spring Vacation From Thursday Until Sunday Inclusive LOCK .;• F VOL.

LITERARY FEATURE Visit to a Historic Ruin By ESTHER JOHNSON Who could resist a stroll over the hills of Massachusetts on a sunny Sabbath afternoon in May, when the cherry and apple trees were in full bloom, the daisies, buttercups, and violets temptingly nod- ding their yellow heads as they push through the thick bed of pine needles? As the warm rays of the sun were draw- ing forth the moisture from the numerous little ponds between these hills, so it was drawing forth the boys and girls from Atlantic Union college; and not only the boys and girls, but also the teachers. On the afternoon of last May 8 a group of five or six boys and girls, bent on exploration, with one of the teachers, started out in the direction of Five Cor- ners. Their objective was the old bury- ing ground, but other items of interest were noticed along the way, such as the largest oak tree in Massachusetts and Thayer's enormous colonial house, half of which had been moved across the road and was still large enough for two or three houses. As I said, the main objective of this group was the old burying ground. It was not much unlike other such places except that the epitaphs dated back to the latter part of the seventeenth and the early eighteenth centuries. On many head stones the inscriptions read, "Killed by the Indians," or "Killed in the Indian Massacre of 1674." One special tomb drew the attention of the group. It was located on the outer edge of the cemetery, down near the road and just within the area surrounded by the stone wall. Just within the stone wall the knoll on which the cemetery was found sloped down abruptly. In this slope was a door opening into a tomb. The heavy wooden door had begun to sag so that there was an opening at the top of about one and a half inches. This old door was securely fastened with a large iron lock, rusty with age. In mid-afternoon when the sun is shin- ing one can see into this tomb. It is neces- sary. however, to have a shade over the head so as not to be blinded by the sun. The only sun-shade available at the time this professor and his group of students came there was his hat, so one by one they donned the hat and peered into the opening in the doorway. In front of the door was a space about five feet high and three feet wide. On either side shelves had been cut into the ground. On these shelves were once some caskets. They had, however, fallen apart and part of them were on the floor. Among the boards could be seen three human skulls. One of the boys told the story of three men who had been buried alive here. "Massassoit, the chief of the Wampon- ogas," he said, " had made a treaty with the Plymouth colonists soon after' their arrival, and kept it strictly until his death in 1660. His oldest son, Alexander, took his place, but died in two years. His brother, Philip, succeeded him. Philip thought his brother had been poisoned, so he determined to take revenge upon the white race. For twelve years he caused numerous uprisings, and in 1675 he started a general one to drive the English out of the land. War parties spread ail over the country, and were joined by the Wipuncha and other tribes. Of the eighty or ninety towns in Plymouth and Massachusetts nearly two-thirds had been plundered, many of them entirely wiped out. "On the morning of August 6 the lit- tle town of Lancaster was attacked, but the white men won out with the loss of three men. In the afternoon a burial ceremony was held for them. Three crude boxes were prepared for their bodies. Because the Indians had been repelled that morning, the inhabitants felt that they were now free from atttack; so men, (Continued on page three) X3 IAVU811 3n1100 n- ETHICS INADEQUATE Belief in Jesus as Merely a Good Man Will Not Bring Salvation "Men who would have a philosophical Christ and who would set Jesus at the head of the galaxy of wonderful men and stop there are lost in their sins," said President Thompson in his sermon in the College View church last Sabbath. "Men can't have an ethical Christ mere- ly and escape sin. "If all we have is the idea that Jesus lived an ideal life, we have missed the big thing. It isn't enough for us to be- lieve that Christ was a good man; we must believe that Christ died and rose again.

The college Sabbath school has thus made its goals for the entire first quarter of the year. During the twelve Sabbaths of the quarter $345.00 was given, which with the thirteenth Sabbath offering made a total of $555.00 for the quarter. This was $155.00 over the goal, and $55.00 over last quarter's offering. The thirteenth Sabbath program pre- sented several. interesting features. A group of boys dressed as Abyssinians sang a song in the language of that country, following which one of the boys made a stirring plea for more help. Next Pastor J. Sorenson, who will soon return to Abyssinia from his year's furlough, told of the needs of the field. Pastor S. A. Wellman, of the Gen- eral Conference Sabbath school depart- ment, told of the real meaning of un- selfish giving for missions. He told of the financial crisis in the mission lands. He said that recent word from Africa says that the workers there have cut their own salaries five per cent in order at least partially to meet the needs. Other features of the special program were a song by the Sabbath school choir, and a trio by Velvah Smouse, Ferryl Garvin, and Errnina Powell, accompanied by Leola Castle. Children Learn to Sing Sunshine Band Songs • "Smile and be cheery, though others may frown, Smiles drive the shadows away; Blessing some heart, by its sorrow cast down, Smile and be cheery today." This was only one of the songs sung by the children at the State orphanage last Sabbath afternoon, and they know how to smile and be cheery too, accord- ing to reports of the Sunshine band mem- bers. After two or three more songs Helen Bousman told the story of two boys and some pumpkins. Aileen Carter was surprised to find that they already knew how to sing "Love Lifted Me." The children listened eagerly to the story of "The Lady and the Perfume," told by James Gaitens. LaMerne Walker, with the violin, accompanied Aileen Carter at the piano while Sigrid Olson led the singing. All through the program the children were very attentive and a large group was present. The young women visited the nursery while the young men visited one of the boys' homes. FRENCH CLUB CONVENES The French club held its regular meet- ing Thursday evening at six o'clock. The president, Lucille Howe, was in charge. Mary Hannah Thompson read the report of the previous meeting. The first number was a dialogue, "Dans la Salle a Manger" (In the Dining-Room), by Misses Esther Sonnenberg and Opal Andrews, and Messrs. Fickess and Gait- ens, members of the French 4 class. Ruth Johnson played a piano solo, "Juba Dance," by Nathaniel Dett, after which the members of the club took part in a silhouette game. Mr. Gordon was winner, having nineteen of the twenty silhouettes named correctly. More at- tended the French club than usual.

VACATION Vacations are surprisingly elusive. Before one has time to say vacation is here, he has to change his mind and say it was here. Spring vacation is a short but very refreshing break in the semester's work. Some would use it to catch up back outside reading; some would write that term paper in history; but the ideal way to spend a vacation is to wacate. Not that everyone can do that, but the nearer he can come to doing so, the more nearly he can make vacation yield returns, preparing him to accelerate his progress considerably on the "home stretch." A great many folks are spending their vacation at home, but even those who stay here may make it count for most if they take time to breathe a little and get ready for the last lap of the race. H. B. "OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD" Now that another good Week of Prayer is in the past, it may be well to recall the old saying, "Nature abhors a vacuum." There are many who have surrendered certain proclivities and practices, have swept clean their hearts, emptied them, who have gained vic- tories over certain besetting sins. It is necessary now that they fill their hearts and lives with something else — goodness, faith, un- selfishness, service—or the old tendencies, finding their places vacant, will come crowding back, bringing with them added strength and numbers. This is the reason so many fail after the Week of Prayer is two or three weeks in the past. And this sliding back into the old ways is one of the most discouraging experiences of the young Christian. To guard against this, all should seek a positive experi- ence in the spiritual life. The life should be filled so full of activity for God that the negative "thou shalt not" will be unnecessary. Join the Sunshine band if it is hard to "remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy." Get a thrilling missionary biography from the library if you are tempted to go back to reading trash. Decide to strive mightily for "A" grades if you find time which hangs heavily on your hands and empty minutes are spent uselessly in chatter, gossip, or frequent and tempting excursions to town. Begin to discover the interesting personalities around you whom you have not noticed in your absorp- tion with a few cronies who have done you no particular good in the past. And above all else, cultivate your acquaintanceship with Jesus Christ; allow Him to fill your life so full of Himself that your prayer life and attention to Bible study will flower into a well-rounded, beautiful Christian influence. D. F. Medical Student Writes to Pre-Med Of Present Work Dear Roger: The time is drawing near when we will be able to greet a new group of freshmen students at Loma Linda. I hope Union college will have a good rep- resentation. I, especially, will be glad to greet the students who were in my lab- oratory classes last year, and will give them all the help I can. You will have to learn how to study. I thought I knew but found out different since coming here. The work is not any harder than college, but there is such a large amount per assignment that you have to do some real concentration. It is quite noisy during study period because roommates are drilling each other on the assignment until they know they know it, but if you really are studying you won't notice the noise around you. Learn all you can about Ph as Doctor Gardner's "pet hobby" is giving Ph prob- lems and all the other catchy ones he can think of as—how long is a molecule of uric acid in the blood if five grams are secreted per day. When you study carbohydrates and proteins in organic chemistry, learn all you can about the specific tests for them, the classification, and the amino acids that make up the proteins. We had to run about fifteen Kjeldahl's this year, which took about an hour to two hours each. This is quick compared to the speed of the first one I tried in quantitative. The doctors are very sympathetic with us, as they know what a struggle we are having. The dean of men will become acquainted with all the freshmen through the Hydrotherapy class. His pet ques- tions are: "Give five reasons why." You will appreciate a real dean of men when you meet him, as he does all he can for the fellows. He sees to it that we have all the sport equipment in shape and when we wear out anything he buys a new one. We have two tennis courts, a swimming pool, a basketball court, a volleyball court, and a baseball diamond. These are kept up for the exercise of the medi- cal students, which they need. We don't spend much time playing, as our studies keep us from it. You will be interested to know that the students lead the church services of the churches near-by. Once a week a student is required to give a chapel talk on some mission field. There are several mission bands organized that go to different hos- pitals and sing for the patients. The Fri- day evening and Sabbath morning wor- ships in the sanitarium are conducted by students. The Bible class we have regular- ly requires us to learn about sixty mem- ory verses a year. I had always heard that the spiritual life at Loma Linda was neglected to a great degree, but it is not true. There are a few students that are out of line with the principles of the school who give a false report. The medi- cal course presents some stiff temptations to overcome, but if the student is con- stantly walking with God he will over- come them. I can't tell you anything to do about anatomy before you come out here, ex- cept strengthen your memory. The sopho- mores will be on hand to assist you at your first laboratory period. The second semester here you will be introduced to histology and embryology, then you will hear about the expression, "Give up, give up, give up." We have nicknamed it "Horseology." If you have any fancy things for your room leave them at home, because you can't use them here. One month you are in school and the next in a hospital; therefore you will have to pack or un- pack your trunk every month. Bring plenty of bed clothes as you will need them. You will be introduced to a siege through the smudging season when you will wake up and look like a negro. One of our negroes remarked, "I' don't mind being black, but I hate to wake up black- er." I will let you draw your own conclu- sions about California. I miss the good old Nebraska winters. It seems peculiar to miss out on a real winter. During your month in the hospital you find many opportunities to do missionary work. Elder Staines, our co-ordinator, will furnish papers and tracts. I have found many interested patients. A number of patients have asked me, "Are you a Christian boy?" They said they noticed a difference because I never smoked or used profane language. When I tell them I am a Seventh-day Adventist, they are interested to know why I keep the sev- enth day. I give them my reasons, then give them literature on the Sabbath and other Bible subjects. Well, Roger, I hope to see you out here this summer and the rest of the second year pre-medics. Your cousin, George M. Campbell. The Bon Ton Electric Shoe Hospital Cure the heel and save the sole.

Commenting on the story of Nicodem- us, President Thompson said, "There are Christian men who put their whole re- liance upon what they can figure out and understand. I have seen people who fol- lowed that 'safety first' program of life, on being afraid of every crisis and every course unless they first figured out all about everything, and as a result they do not know or do anything. No man ever goes into the heart of Africa like a Livingstone unless he is a man that is willing to have trust to go all the way, to go along and make the best of things ar;c1 adjust himself; for no man figures gut with precision even the common things of life. There is an element in the commonest things of living that no man can forecast with accurate precision. It needs to be supplemented with faith and courage and a willingness to achieve and attempt to achieve. And in the things of the spiritual world this is even more so than in the common things of life. Nico- demus was perplexed, doubtful, and be- wildered. Don't you often come to the consciousness that you are only half- achieving those things that your capa- bilities would warrant your achieving. Don't you have the idea when you have done a thing that it has not been done as well as you would like to have done it? Does anything in life ever seem quite finished up and bound off for you? It never does for me. In the souls of men there is that reaching forward to things not yet achieved. It is a definite thing that pulls a man along. Not that one is consumed by an ambition to do the un- doable, but he has a consciousness of his imperfection. Nicodemus had the forms of religion, but, hungry of heart, came to Jesus as I have had to do and as most of you have had to do and inquired, 'What shall I do?' There is that feeling that somehow there is a better way. We are made perfect through Christ." "The hours and minutes we invest in other people have a worth beyond cal- culation." 0 "To select among old things is almost equal to inventing new ones." "Back of this sad story we have," said President Thompson, "the original story of how to live. Jesus gave up the glories of His heavenly home and came to live on earth in the way we are to live. He shared the disappointments, hard- ships, abuses, and discouragements that we have to share. But He lived a com- petent, aggressive, and militant life." The speaker stated that the great problem of young people now is in mak- ing this right decision of how to live. He then related a story of an incident that happened during the war. A road passed a short distance from the trench where a certain soldier lay. Not far down, the road forked. At one time a sign had been there to point out the right way, but it had been shot down. The chaplain told how many times he saw army trucks go down the road to the fork, hesitate, and then choose the road that led to destruc- tion. They never returned. "This road may represent our life, - suggested President Thompson. "There comes a time when all of us get to the fork in the road and must choose which way to go. But Jesus with his wounded hands and pierced side is the sign post to show us the right road." ETHICS INADEQUATE (Continued from page one) no such thing as a resurrection, then Christ was not resurrected, and if that is not so, then all we have preached is in vain, said Paul. What is there to say to those who mourn unless we can say Christ also was raised from the dead? Jesus said in the face of death, 'I am the resurrection and life.' "The fabric of society would by now have been rotted out had not such a man lived, died, and been resurrected again. We would not have the world we have today had we not the story of the resurrection. "The Roman king trembled when the little educated Jew stood before him and said that this thing, Christ risen from the dead, was 'not done in a corner' but was a thing well-known. Paul told the story with such faith and vehemence that the world had to believe. Unbelief has not been worked up in our time but it existed as well in Christ's time. It takes no more faith or courage to say, "I be- lieve in the death and resurrection of Christ' than it took in the cynicism of two thousand years ago." "Oh, it is great, and there is no other greatness—to make some work of God's creation more fruitful, better, more worthy of God, to make some human heart a little wiser, manlier, happier, more blessed, less accursed." JOHN F. AYRES OPTOMETRIST C. W. Fleming Optical Dept. ACOUSTISONIC 1311 "0" Street, Lincoln, Nebr. EXPERIENCE RELATED Pastor Johns in Chapel Talk Tells of Personal Decisions Relating his own experience and call to the ministry, Pastor Varner Johns based his Week of Prayer sermon Wed- nesday morning upon the admonition, "Lay hold on eternal life," He related the experience of his early youth, and how God finally won out in his life in spite of worldly ambitions. Af- ter accepting Christ at the age of seven- teen he pursued his studies in the high school at Denver, Colorado, and then went on to the university because his father objected seriously to his attending a Christian school. His great ambition was to become a lawyer, and never did he dream of becoming a minister of the gospel. He found that his associations in the fraternity at the university and the influence of courses he was taking under skeptical instructors were gradually un- dermining his faith, to the extent that he felt ashamed of his religion before his fellows. As he had to work his way through school, he had chances to earn considerably more if he could only have worked on the Sabbath; but he held to the observance of the Sabbath. His fath- er finally consented to his coming to Union college, where he spent his las, two years of college. Here, he said, his whole life's ambition was changed: first, from lawyer to teacher, and then to be- come a minister of the gospel, which Le felt was God's plan for him. The man Moses was then held up as an example in the Bible of one who es- teemed God and His work more than the throne and riches of Egypt, one who chose rather to suffer afflictions with God's people than to live in the degrad- ing influences of the world. Pastor Johns asked, "Do you think his choice was a wise one?" In answer he pointed out how Moses is honored today, how God hon- ored him by resurrecting him from his grave, and that now he is enjoying heavenly glories which all will enjoy if they make the right choice. "We each have the privilege to choose for Christ. It is a personal matter—our choice. The secret of victory comes by beholding Christ, living in Him and He in us, - and then giving all for Him." To illustrate "giving all for Him" the speaker recounted the experience of Mrs. Norman Wiles, who was left alone among the sav- ages when her husband died in the South Sea Islands. "That type of glory is the greatest of all," said Pastor Johns. "Talent is sustained patience." Dobson Pharmacy Pure Drugs, Sundries, Rubber Goods and Stationery.

Solve Life's Problems "Our thought of religion and Christi- anity is not a thing that somebody arti- ficially created, but it arises essentially out of the hearts of people. Whichever way a man turns in life, no matter how intellectual he may be, there is no es- cape at all from the effectual facing of certain very perplexing facts," began President Thompson in his chapel talk Friday morning. He told of reading an article in which a man told of standing on the battlefield in France shortly after he had been talking to a group of boys. The alarm had sounded; some of them had not even reached the trenches, when a shell fell and there was nothing left but some splotches of blood and masses of flesh. The stretcher-bearers were called; they brought baskets and picked up the remains. The writer of the article said, "What was it I have been talking to? Have I been talking with that? Have I talked to flesh and blood or have I talked to personality? What was it I have been talking to?" 'Out of that question springs, whether you like it or not, that very great fact that a man is not a mechanical structure merely. This fact takes two manifesta- tions, the doctrine of immortality of the soul, which we do not accept in its en- tirety, and the equally beautiful and bet- ter doctrine that there is a peronality that persists and that will have a consciousness and will live from the morning of the resurrection," commented the speaker. "Christianity is the only way to put heart into your life. It is the only way to get a beginning and a destination for activity and for living. Sometimes people talk about how education is to save the world, that what we need is to have ev- erybody educated and that is one thing we do need. It is too bad there is so much ignorance and illiteracy in the work, such a lack of educated intelli- gence. But to be educated merely, even if he is intelligent, does not give a man any sense of security, any comfort or companionship in the lonesome hours when he must go alone through the val- ley of the shadow through which every man must pass." The speaker quoted from the pages of the diary of Mrs. Webb, the intimate friend of Herbert Spencer, who has been said to have the greatest mind England ever produced. GIVE BIBLE READINGS Groups Attending Cottage Meetings Grow from Week to Week Members of the Gospel Workers' sem- inar on Sabbath afternoon continued their work of assisting in the distribution of announcements of the meetings being con- ducted in Lincoln by Pastors Baer and Butterfield. Twenty-five hundred hand- bills, nine hundred copies of Present Truth, and fifty tracts were used by the group. Four boys from the church school Junior Missionary Volunteer society also took part in the work. Pastor Butterfield informed the work- ers that some who were opposed to the work in Lincoln are •attempting to prevent attendance at any of these meetings or reading of the literature which is being left at the homes. The leader of the col- lege literature band announces that forty volunteers will be needed next Sabbath, since five thousand announcements, con- taining the programs for two weeks, will be ready for distribution. Bible studies are being continued by young ladies of the seminar. Sophia Van Buskirk and Ramona Ellis paid their second visit to a colored home, where they found a second lady waiting to take part in the study. Miss Van Buskirk's lesson on the fall of man, and Miss Ellis's chalk talk on the results of sin appeared to be much appreciated, and they were invited to return. Nora Lankford and Bessie McCumsey visited a Spanish home, where Miss Lankford gave a Bible reading. Copies of Our Little Friend were left for the children. The lady of the house had no Bible, and was pleased to receive the Bible which was lent to her. Life Hinges on Making Decisions for the Right "The greatest thing in all the world is to know how to choose Jesus as a Sav- iour," said President Thompson at the chapel hour Thursday. "The life of Jesus presents two very striking pictures. As one reads the story of Jesus he sees a man of misery under a cross. Blood from his wounded brow stains his face. His form is emaciated and his face care-worn. 'He :lath no form nor comeliness; . . . there is no beauty that we should desire Him.' The two thieves beside him walk upright under their crosses while he faints beneath his cross. 'He is despised and rejected' of the mob around Him who are crying 'Crucify Him.' Indeed this is a sad and miserable picture until we remember that this man chose that suffering."

THE CLOCK TOWER PAGE THREE I Business Office Entertained by Variety of Music By PEARL HARTWELL To the temperamental individual the function of music is to inspire. But varied is the mental response to such a stimulus. Soft, sweet, melodic strains of piano music tend to make one drowsy, or at least in a very peaceful frame of mind. Quick, rhythmic, march or dance music excites one's nervous system into at least some sort of action. Possibly the desire for the peaceful frame of mind and for action in the busi- ness office in connection with bookkeep- ing or waiting on ''the window" motivate the faculty for making it possible for the office workers to be continually furnished with such a wonderful variety of - music." Occasionally after an hour or so of con- tinual "do-re, do-re, do-re" the entertainer will add a little spicy variation to his program by a sudden and unexpected change to - re-rni, re-mi, re-mi," and end up by reverting to his original theme of -do-re, do-re," thus relieving the minds of his listeners of all fear that he may have forgotten what he learned first. Sometimes he is afraid that those in the office below will accuse him of not keep- ing accurate time with the more difficult productions. In order to leave no room whatever for such criticism, he obligingly begins a systematic "stamp, stamp" with his otherwise useless left foot, keeping perfect time through several selections. The old adage that - practice makes perfect" is the motto of each performer, for whenever he comes to a difficult place he stops all further operations until the difficulty is removed, at least to his satisfaction. The psychological "law of effect" is his second motto: "Whenever the con- nection is satisfactory the tendency is to repeat, and vice versa. - Every hour or so he finds a note that gives him great satisfaction. Immediate the "law" flashes into his mind, and he repeats that note again and again, giving it every variety of feeling he can, and repeating each variety several times. . And in the meantime one no doubt wonders how the workers below are pro- gressing. As the soft, sweet, melodic strains begin, each bookkeeper sighs a contented sigh. Soon the quick, rythmic march begins, and his pen moves more rapidly to keep time to the - stamp, stamp" above. But when the musician begins to play over and over his "satis- faction - keys the bookkeeper is at a loss to know what is expected of him, for he can't write seven's all the time. One thought of the trial balance at the end of the month dispels any tendency toward this variety of accommodation to the mood of the musician, and the bookkeeper is forced to forget that he is temperament- al and go on writing two's, eight's, six's, and thirteen's.

Phone B-6348 GOSPEL IS SIMPLE Says Every Man Does as Did Peter, Gives 'Such as He Has' In opening his talk Wednesday eve- ning President Thompson stated that the gospel is very simple, therefore it can be simply expressed. He told how recently in one of his visits to a mission in Chicago he was in a certain testimony meeting where an Italian man was testifying. Although he could not understand the Italian, he knew that what he was saying was very meaningful to him. In conclusion the Italian said, "It is Jesus for me." "That summed up everything for him, as it should for every Christian. Men who are God's men talk for God," he said. "As in the case of Peter, who, when he was asked for alms, said to the crip- ple, 'Silver and gold have I none. but such as I have give I unto you,' so it is with everyone. All give to the world just exactly what they have in them to give. "A man of faith is a man of God. All things work together for good to the man of faith. It is for all to choose to be men and women of faith. - VISIT TO HISTORIC RUIN (Continued from page one) women, and children came to the funeral. "Soon after the people had gathered a piercing Indian war-whoop was heard, and another tribe was upon them. A fierce battle then took place in which the Indians won. Three of the white men and one young boy were captured alive. All of the rest were killed, and the village burned. The boy was taken along with the Indians as a captive, but the three men, one of whom was Deputy-general Bellingham, were put into the three new boxes, or coffins, that the Indians found. Having placed these boxes into the tomb, the Indians locked the door and left them there, buried alive."

He asked, "What is in this call, 'Lay hold on eternal life'?" The answer was, "A lite completely surrendered to Him." He said, "No one who chooses to live for Christ will be disappointed in gaining the prize." Thursday night Pastor Johns used Esther 4:14 as his text. "Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" lie drew a parallel between the present time and the days of the flood for "as the days of Noah were so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be." He also compared :he days of Rome and the days of the flood. "The things people like tc do and see are an index to their thoughts. The only answer to the present-day lack of faith is the third angel's message," he commented. At the close of the meeting Pastor Johns gave all those who wished to re- consecrate their lives to the service of the Master and live a life unreservedly for Him an opportunity to testify by standing. A large majority of the con gregation stood as a witness to their con- secration. In chapel Friday President Thompson drew comparisons from the life of Herbert Spencer. Intellect needs to be supple- mented by faith and courage, he said. After a short talk by Pastor Johns the Friday evening vesper service was a real praise service. None were hindered by the lack of time, for this part of the ser- vice occupied an hour and a quarter. Many took part by testifying to the victories gained and the blessings re- ceived during the Week of Prayer. ANSWER THESE?

In 1876 the election returns from certain Southern states were disputed and an electoral commission finally settled the question. The Freedman's Bureau was an or- ganization under the patronage of the United States government, which was brought into being to help the freed slaves after the Civil War. The United States secured the greater part of Arizona by the Mexican War. A small portion was secured by the Gadsen Purchase of 1853, however. 0 UNIQUE PROGRAM TO BE GIVEN "The Harvest," a stirring human-in- terest narrative will be presented at the college chapel on Saturday evening, April 4, at eight o'clock. Mr. J. A. San DeFur, of the Nebraska Anti-Saloon League, takes the part of the county attorney and Mr. E. G. Mc- Daniel the part of the father. The other characters, the son and the stenographer, arc to be chosen locally. The pastor of one of the large churches of Kansas City has the following to say regarding "The Harvest": "Our people were profoundly moved. The gripping way in which facts are presented makes me wish every church in our city and state might have the ad- vantage of hearing it. It is a power in our fight to maintain the law and secure better observance and enforcement." SISTER SCHOOLS SHELTON ACADEMY Miss Vera Layman won the Shclademy subscription campaign by turning in six- ty-two subscriptions to the school paper. The academy male quartet, composed of Ivan Canaday, Donald Hay, Robert Washington, and Ralph Yost, with Mrs. Durm, Mr. Bascom, Mrs. Cowin, and Maud Halstead, spent the week-end of March 20 to 22 at Loup City and Arcadia. At Arcadia they rendered a forty minute program before the Sunday evening meeting. Sunday morning, March 15, those turn- ing in seven or more subscriptions to the school paper were entertained by the Shelademy staff. Breakfast was prepared over a camp fire in the grove east of the school. Mr. Durm and a number of the boys of the academy are trimming trees on the campus and cleaning up the grounds in preparation for the setting out of ad- ditional shrubbery.

ANSWERS TO HISTORICAL QUESTIONS ON PAGE 3 Senator Caraway in a recent speech in the Senate took this unusual method of arousing his colleagues to the trying conditions surrounding his constituents in drought-stricken Arkansas, The White Camelia was a secret organization formed in the South follow- ing the Civil War. Its purpose was sim- ilar to that of the Ku Klux Klan. White- robed men intimidated the colored folk and contributed to regaining of white supremacy. Sir Hubert Wilkins is preparing to make a trip to the Polar Sea in a sub- marine. The vessel was recently chris- tened "Nautilus" in honor of the vessel by the same name which was made fam- ous in Jules Verne's "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea." Certain enemies of Grant complained of his habit of drinking. In response to these complaints, Lincoln is said to have asked what brand of liquor Grant used, for he would be glad to order a barrel or [N] —1 two for the use of his other generals if it would make them fight as Grant did. Nevada recently legalized gambling again after it had been outlawed for years. Gamblers and gamesters of all description are hastening to that state to repeat the wild life of the frontier of fif- ty years ago. Cleveland was a fighter. He de- clared war on corruption and dishonest politicians. As a result, certain political circles became his deadly enemies. His friends brought forth the slogan, "We love him for the enemies he has made." In 1635 Roger Williams was ban- ished from Massachusetts by his brethren of the Congregational church. Leaving in the dead of winter he found refuge with the friendly Narragansetts. He said he would rather live with friendly savages than with savage friends. The three disputed elections of the United States history were 1800, 1824, and 1876. In 1800 Jefferson and Burr had the same number of electoral votes and it was necessary for the House of Repre- sentatives to decide between the two. In GIRLS LEAD SEMINAR (Continued from page one) "Those who teach the theory of evo- lution are fulfilling the prophecy that scoffers will come in the last days," stated Miss Montgomery. "They declare that the six days of creation represented long periods of development, not days of twenty-four hours. "It required more than two thousand years to bring any great degree of sick- ness into the world. Adam was created a perfect man. There is no record in the Bible of the birth of cripples or of deaths caused by sickness before that. The state- ment that Haran died before his father denotes that it was an uncommon occur- rence for a child to die before his parent." The speaker related a true story of the painting of Leonardi da Vinci's famous picture, "The Last Supper." The artist chose a young singer in a cathedral as his model for the portrait of Jesus. Yet sin so transformed the young man that ten years later da Vinci found him, then a miserable wretch, and used him as a model for Judas. "If ten years of sin can change the face of Jesus to Judas, what can six thousand years of sin do to the human race?" asked Miss Montgomery. Virginia Corson discussed "Adverse Criticism," which she declared to be on of the prevailing sins of the day. She suggested the motto, "Think your critic- isms; speak your kindnesses." To illus- trate the danger of unjust criticism, Miss Corson told the story of a girl who was considered selfish by her fellow-workers because they did not know that she was helping to support her family while her father underwent an operation. "Those who spend their time in doing good will find no time for destructive criticism," the speaker declared. Pastor Stevens in his remarks pointed out the danger of a speaker's presenting his thoughts too rapidly to be appreciated by his hearers. He stated that a speaker needs to keep his mind closely in contact with his listeners. "If you have any pet phrases, cut them out," Pastor Stevens advised. He gave several example of stereotyped ex- pressions which, he said, distract the at- tention of listeners. He warned against improper color combinations of clothing, which would likewise attract more atten- tion than the speaker's words. Special musical numbers consisted of a solo by Lennie Gepford and a duet by Mildred Rhoads and Olivia Harder. "An optimist is one who makes the best of it when he gets the worst of it. - The steps of faith fall on the seeming void, but find the rock beneath. - "I often regret that I have spoken, sel- dom that I have been silent." "More people die from lack of en- couragement than of disease." "Genius finds its own road and carries its own lamp." "Good humor and generosity carry the day the world over." TRAINING SCHOOL (Editor's Note: These reports are prepared weekly by the children in the departments represented.) Phyllis Ledington entertained the sev- enth and eighth grade girls at a birthday luncheon served at her home Monday evening, March 23.

Three girls have already earned their "Friends" pins. Billy Pruitt, Robert Dunn, Tom Gillas- pie, and Bobby Tschauder went to Lin- coln Sabbath afternoon to assist Mr. Beans in distributing papers. At the Week of Prayer meetings held in the seventh and eighth grade class- room Pastor Johns talked on Monday and Tuesday, Mrs. Bresee on Wednesday, President Thompson on Thursday, and James Gaitens on Friday. These talks were much appreciated by all. "The ideal blazes the way for reality to follow. - "Wouldst thou accomplish much? Do one thing well."
