18,000 Believers Without 
One Church School 
Little children as dear and as 
precious to the hearts of their parents 
and to the church as in any other 
land, and taught to serve Jesus as 
loyally and zealously as any other 
children, take their books every year 
,and enter the schools of Rumania. 
They have been taught to serve their 
Master as a loving, tender Saviour 
who would have them worship Him 
in the simple, humble spirit of His 
true followers. 
Mother has said they may speak 
directly to Jesus and that they should 
not adopt the forms of worship seen 
in the powerful national church with 
its bigotry and intolerance. Even 
though threatened by the priest-
teacher with severe punishment if 
they do not conform to every detail, 
these tender little children venture 
within these schools, knowing that 
theirs may be a hard lot. Any di-
vergence from the requirements of a 
powerful religious organization is 
heresy, to be seared out as with a 
hot iron. 
At the doors of these schools these 
children find shrines before which 
they must bow their heads and re-
peat prayers. During the day there 
are occasions when these innocent 
children must conform in matters of 
religion, as in all other matters, to 
the iron wishes of their priest-teach-
ers, and there are no other teachers 
in the land except these priests who 
are entrusted with the education of 
this nation's children and who arc 
determined to make them all ortho-
dox devotees of the state church. 
Let a child attempt to obey his 
parents and to serve Jesus as he has 
been taught, refuse to follow the 
rituals in the strong mixture of state 
religion and education, and he will 
be subjected at first to threats by 
his teacher. Then may follow in 
quick succession ridicule by other 
children, epithets, physical punish-
ment, and perhaps expulsion from 
school with no prospect of getting 
into any other school in the whole 
land without strict conformity. 
This situation brings one of two 
results: Either the child becomes a 
compromiser and adjusts himself out-
wardly for the benefits of the school 
but to his great loss, or lie suffers 
intolerably and irreparably mental, 
and perhaps physical, anguish of re-
sisting a dominant and persistent 
priesthood. In either case, the child 
bears in his spirit and mind deill 
scars from wounds inflicted by cal-
loused men of determination, bigotry, 
and even violence. He is hounded 
through life by an inferiority complex 
or by a bitterness against his perst• 
cutors that discolors all his work and 
life. 
How much better the situation for 
tens of thousands of boys and girls 
in other lands! In Rumania there 
is not one church school. This last 
year many children were sent back 
to their homes with ,no prospect of 
school unless they conformed to the 
unrelaxing requirements of the ortho-
dox priest-teachers. These children 
and their fellows who suffer silently 
with them hold out pleading, tender 
hands to America for aid to establish 
at least one model but very simple 
school in the city of Bucharest with 
its five large churches. 
The church of 18,000 in that prom-
ising field has no reserve with which 
to begin this new work in answer to 
the piteous appeal of these child 
sufferers. Thousands of the children 
of the Rumanian church are yearly 
subjected to harsh, blighting treat-
ment to force their conformity. Hun-
dreds will soon be beyond their school 
years and the penetrating, inspiring 
influences of a, truer Christian school. 
What is to be done for these children 
must be done soon. 
May the church in Ainerica, that 
knows little of poverty and sacrifice 
as are seen in Rumania, give liberally 
during the Week of Sacrifice (October 
9 to 16), that there may be at least 
one little "city of refuge" in that 
land for the children whose prayers 
for greater liberty and light ascend 
daily. �

Associate Secretary of the General 
Conference Department of Education. 
Week of Sacrifice . 
We are all aware of the great reed 
of the mission program, which is 
facing an unprecedented crisis due to 
world complication of conditions :11 
Spain, China, and Japan. It is very 
apparent to us that the angels are 
putting forth special effort to hold 
the winds of strife; but in spite of 
this, the enemy is endeavoring to pour 
out his wrath upon the inhabitants 
of the earth, because he knows that 
his time is short. 
The Lord is calling, "Come unto me 
all ye that labour and are heavy lad-
en and I will give you rest." His 
servants are still commissioned to go 
unto all the world and preach the 
gospel to every creature. Men, and 
women called by God have rendered 
noble service, under trying circum-
stances, in various parts of the world. 
In view of the seriousness of the 
times, the Week of Sacrifice this year 
ought to receive prayerful consider-
ation by every believer in the third 
angel's message. The official date set 
aside for this purpose is October 9 
to 16. The Week of Sacrifice offering 
has proved a great blessing in the 
past, and thousands of dollars have 
been received through the sacrifice 
made by our people. 
. At one of the recent councils the 
following action was taken in regard 
to the Week of ,Sacrifice: "That we 
continue to promote earnestly the 
plan, asking all our workers and lay-
men to give as far as possible a full 
week's income as their Week of 
Sacrifice offering, and that those 
whose income is not on a salary basis 
be urged to make a substantial ecntri-
bution as God may have prospered 
them." 
I trust that as servants of the 
Most High, we will make this matter 
a subject of prayer and do our very 
best to make the Week of Sacrifice 
a great blessing to God's people at 
this time. 
E. H. Oswald.

thought can reach is God's ideal for

to reconsecrate themselves to the 
Lord; and we also organized a small 
baptismal class, which is looking for-
ward to this step in the future. Our 
prayers and interest go with them as 
they continue in their progressive 
Christian experience.

Joining Hands 
One evening years ago in the 
Province of Alberta, Canada, a happy 
father and mother went out for a 
stroll through a nearby wheat field 
with their little boy. As they wandered 
through the field each thought the 
other held the hand of their child. Lll 
at once they realized that the boy was 
not with them. They called, but 
there was no answer. They became 
more and more disturbed, then ter-
rified, and hunted everywhere with 
no results. Finally, the father went 
back to the village and gat a search-
ing party to assist them. Many willing 
helpers searched all night without 
avail. After many hours some finally 
suggested that they join hands and 
cover the entire grainfield, and not 
leave a single square foot uncovered 
in this last effort. They joined hands 
and soon came across the body of 
the child, and a hush spread over 
them all because they had found the 
child too late. As the group stood 
there, someone was heard to whisper, 
"If only we had joined hands before 
it was too late." 
That is what puts the Ingathering 
campaign over, as well as every other 
campaign. The call has come to 
press together in love and unity ana 
Christian fellowship. Many are heed-
ing the call. If we had done more 
of this joining hands before, we 
would have a larger membership and 
a happier people.

Calendar Revision Averted 
We just received a cable from Doc-
tor Nussbaum who was present in 
Geneva at the time the League Coun-
cil acted upon the calendar reform 
question and in his cablegram he 
gives us the good news, which 1 am 
sure will cause your hearts to rejoice, 
that the League Council adopted un-
animously, without discussion, the -re-
port of the Communications and 
Transit Committe. stipulating that it 
was not possible to accept the blank 
day plan breaking continuity of the 
weekly cycle because of religious op-
position. The cable also staled that 
even Litvinoff, the representative 
from Russia, and Mr. Edwards, the 
representative of Chile, the two 
representatives at the League of 
Nations who made the suggestion that 
an international conference be called 
at this time by the League to consider 
the adoption of the blank day plan, 
also voted with the rest, thus making 
it unanimous. This certainly is a 
victory much greater than we had 
expected. It shows that our protests 
we sent in to the League did not 
go unheeded. 
I think this means that this issue 
cannot be brought again before the 
League of Nations for consideration 
for another four years. Of course, in 
the meantime, we must not forget 
that the calendar reformers will re-
new their efforts to educate the public, 
to make it more favorable to calendar 
reform, so that the next time this issue 
comes up they will be more successful. 
They were very confident they were 
going to succeed this time, but the 
good Lord heard our prayers and re-
warded our efforts. I suppose the. 
League concluded that they had 
enough troubles on their hands at the 
present time without accepting un-
necessary trouble by stirring up the 
churches as well as the nations in 
opposition to each other.

Kulm 
It was a privilege for Mrs. Gant 
and me to spend a week, including 
the two week ends of September 18 
and 25, with the Kulm church. It was 
our first visit to this church, and wt. 
were very happy to find a goodly num-
ber of believers ready to respond to 
the effort' in behalf of the youth of 
that section. 
We were very cordially received by 
the entire church, hardly sleeping and 
eating in the same place more thait 
once or twice during the time that 
we were here. 
We traveled over 350 miles in our 
personal visitations, and had meetings 
every night, with the result that the 
church membership felt it a privilege

Minnesota Passes 
$10,000 Mark 
Minnesota is happy to announce to 
the field that $10,054 has come in to 
date in the Harvest Ingathering. 
Forty-one churches have now reached 
their goal and many have made their 
super-goal. Two districts have reach-
ed their goal and at least three more 
will pass their goal this week. The 
individual goal of $11.49 has been 
reached by 150 members. Scores of 
others are nearing their minute-man 
goal. 
Brethren, and sisters of the 
Minnesota Conference, we thank you 
for the splendid way you are cooperat-
ing with the conference' workers in 
the, Harvest Ingathering, and we havt-
set October 23 as Victory Day for 
the churches not yet over the top. Can 
we not have every church, counting 
the Conference church, over the goal 
by October 23? Let us do our part 
in making this possible.

Resident Colporteurs 
"Resident canvassing is an inter-
esting work. In going over the 
territory again the colporteur receives 
many blessings that do not come to 
hini the first time. Has not God prom-
ised, 'My word shall not return unto 
me void.'? And so with the Lord's 
representative, when he returns to 
where he has sown the seed, he finds 
that the Lord has given the increase, 
so he is now privileged to water the 
seed and rejoice and praise the Lord 
for his • wonderful works toward the 
children of men." So writes Brother 
Karl A. Evenson who is working in 
his eighteenth year as a colporteur 
evangelist. From the week ending 
September 4 to the week ending 
September 25 Brother Evenson work-
ed 200 hours, sold $288.35 worth of 
literature, and delivered $324.50. He 
has canvassed his territory as many as 
four times. Scores of souls who now 
enjoy the blessings of God in this 
message trace back their first know-
ledge of the truth, to reading the 
books and periodicals that Brother 
Evenson sold item. 
In answer tit the call for resident 
colporteurs, eleven men and one young 
lady have already been given pro-
spectuses and canvasses, and are pre-
paring for the institute. With the 
exception of one brother and one 
sister, each of the above have families 
dependent upon them. They will join 
the ranks October 29. Careful study 
has been in vogue. Each has prayed 
earnestly about the matter and each 
is now ready to step forward into. 
the front line of battle. "We have 
no time now to give our talents and 
energies to worldly enterprises." 
Vol. 9, page 104. Please pray daily 
for these earnest warriors of the 
cross. 
Soon Seventh-day Adventists will 
become the theme of conversation the 
world around. Brethren and sisters, 
are you going to be among the faith-
ful workers when Christ claims His 
own? Perhaps you should be a 
regular resident colporteur. 
C. G. Cross. 
Important 
The cause of God in the earth is 
dependent upon our denominational 
system of Christian education. As 
our older workers leave the scene of 
active serviee, younger ones are, caller 
to take their places. Very few are 
called who have received their train-
ing in the world. Many times it is 
difficult to find a well-trained candi-
date to fill a place in the work. 
Therefore, if there is one thing more 
important than another in the plan 
of finishing the, gospel message, it 
would seem that it is the training 
of every Seventh-day Adventist youth 
in a Christian school. Christian 
training is not only vital to the or-
ganized work of the conference, but 
to the church and the home as well. 
Why not make plans now to attend 
a Christian school soon? 
Frank F. Swearingen. 
Colporteur Institute 
The annual colporteur institute will 
be held in the Park Avenue church 
building, corner of Park and Franklin 
Avenues in South Minneapolis, Oc-
tober 29 to November 7. We have 
every reason to believe this meeting 
will bring most practical help to each 
one present. 
If you are interested to learn 
principles governing gospel salesman-
ship, and how to use such principles 
for the salvation of souls, get in touch 
with the writer immediately. Many 
more workers are needed. We must 
hasten on a great drive that will take 
us, as members, out of the mere 
alphabet of Christian experience.

Notice To Isolated Believers 
All isolated believers who have ac-
cepted the faith after first having be-
come acquainted with the message by 
reading our books, periodicals, or

News Items 
Our school family was happy to 
welcome Brother and Sister Lauda, 
and Caris Junior, over the week end 
of September 24-26. A wonderful 
spirit of Christian zeal was manifest-
ed in Brother Lauda's messages of 
Friday evening, Sabbath morning, 
and again in the afternoon's Mission-
ary Volunteer Meeting. Youth re-
sponds readily to appeals which emu, 
with the fervor and earnestness of 
definite Christian experience, and 
these meeting were marked with this 
type of response. Everyone expressed 
a genuine appreciation of the counsel 
given. Saturday night Brother and 
Sister Lauda presented a program of 
songs and pictures in the school 
chapel. Assisted by the music depart-
ment, Ervin Sorensen, trumpet soloist, 
and Mr. Lauritzen, and Evelyn Soren-
sen, accompanists, the evening proved 
to be a delightful opening of our 
school music season. Brother and 
Sister Lauda will always be welcome 
at Maplewood. Their testimony, both 
spoken and sung, will long be remem-
bered by those who have heard them. 
During the chapel period on Sep-
tember 29, the classes were organized

Centerville 
The first part of our effort in 
Centerville has come to a close, but 
not without some fruit. Sabbath, Sep-
tember 25, sixteen precious souls were 
united with their Lord and Master 
in the sacred ordinance of baptism. 
Our baptismal service was held in 
the Christian Church at Exline, Sab-
bath afternoon, at 2:30. The church 
was well filled, as I had previously 
held a short series of meetings there, 
while waiting for the approval of 
the city here in Centerville on the 
desired lot before building. So while 
we have had to erect a building in 
which to hold our meetings, yet 
during the time spent in this part of 
the field, there have been twenty-three 
baptisms, twenty-two of these being 
added to the Centerville church, mak-
ing our total membership about seven-
ty, for which we thank the Lord. 
Our next problem is to prepare 
our new tabernacle church for tht 
winter by installing a furnace. Ike 
solicit the prayers of God's people 
for the work in this part of His 
vineyard. Recently our address was 
changed to 532 Park Avenue, and we 
would appreciate hearing from old 
friends,—or better yet, receiving a 
call. The southern part of the State 
has a bumper crop this year, and we 
believe it will materially hasten the 
finishing of God's work in this part 
of the field.

Who's Who? 
At the close of our colporeur rally 
at camp meeting, fifty-one people 
pledged to put in at least eight hours 
during the coming year selling our 
literature on a colporteur basis. Our 
conference president, Elder Osgood, 
' was one of these. We would like 
to know who the rest of you are, 
so that we will be able to better cu- 
operate with you, and thereby assure 
you greater success. When you write 
to us telling ifs what you would like 
to sell,--large books, small books, 
Christmas books, or magazines. 
It seems that since many of our 
people were not present at camp meet-
in, there should be at least fifty more 
who would gladly join this group, 
answering the clarion call of the 
Master to service in the ranks of the 
colporteur army.

Elder J. H. Roth is, at this writing, 
attending a Union College Board 
meeting in Lincoln Nebraska. 
Sisters Addle Kelly and. Rhoda 
Nelson of Huron paid the office a 
brief visit while passing through 
Watertown one day last week. 
Elder W. H. Hanhardt, our home 
missionary secretary, is working in 
his district this week helping the 
churches there to reach their Harvest 
Ingathering goals. 
Brother Robert Brown, our field 
missionary secretary, is busily laying 
plans for the colporteur institute to 
be held at Aberdeen, October 8 to 
16. Anyone who feels called by the 
Lord to enter the colporteur work 
should improve this opportunity to 
get in touch with Brother Brown and 
arrange with him to attend the insti-
tute preparatory to doing successful 
work in the future. 
One sister expressed her apprecia-
tion of the Sabbath School lessons in 
the following words: "I think the 
lessons are so inspiring. Studying 
them is just like taking a refreshing 
drink." 
The following telegram was receiv-
ed from the Sioux Falls church eany 
last week: ".Sioux Falls church over 
the top in the Ingathering." Congrat-
ulations, Sioux Falls!

NORTHERN UNION OUTLOOK 
- 
The Watertown church was favored 
on Sabbath, September 25, by having 
Elder F. D. Gerrard, the field mission-
ary Secretary of the union, meet with 
them. He and Brother Brown had 
planned to meet with another church 
but due to some slip in the mail 
they were unable to make that ap-
pointment. Elder Gerrard's sermon 
during the 1.1 o'clock hour was a 
source of inspiration and help to the 
church, in broadening their vision of 
the possibilities that are open for mis-
sionary work for everyone. 
Word was recently received from 
Batesland that definite plans are un-
der way to provide a meeting place 
for the church there. 
An Opportunity 
You may be glad for an opportunity 
to share in the glorious work of giving 
this message in this mighty hour, 
even though you cannot devote much 
time in active service. 
In order to carry on a strong winter 
work, we are anxious to know where 
places may be found for the colpor-
teurs to stay for week-ends during 
the coming months. Several of the 
workers want to locate immediately 
after the institute, and it will be a 
great help in arranging for the most 
effective work, if we could know then 
of several places where the colpor-
teurs could stay. 
If you desire to join with these 
'self-sacrificing missionaries and have 
a part with them in the work they 
are doing, by simply providing a 
week-end home for one or more of 
them please get in touch with me.

"Remember the Sabbath day, to 
keep it holy. Six days shalt thou 
labor, and do all thy work: but the 
seventh day is the Sabbath of, the 
Lord thy God." 
"In the great closing work we shall 
meet with perplexities that we know 
not how to deal with; but let us not 
forget that the three great powers of 
heaven are working, that a divine 
hand 
hand is on the wheel, and that God 
Will bring His promises to pass. He 
will gather from the world a people 
-who will serve Him in righteousness."
