WHITE STUDIED After Mr. Foss' Refusal to Tell Vision, It Was Given to Miss Ellen G. Harmon WRITING IS INSPIRED Lowell Welch Proves Criticisms Made Against "Spirit of Prophecy" Are Unfounded A table stacked with books, beside the speakers' stand, aroused the curiosity of those who arrived at the meeting of the Gospel Workers' seminar Friday evening. It did not take the audience long to dis- cover that these books were the writings of Mrs. E. G. White, and that the Spirit of Prophecy was to be the subject of the two talks given that evening. Everett Christiansen, the first speaker, discussed the way in which the Spirit of Prophecy was given to the Advent be- lievers near the time of the great disap- pointment. - Shortly before October 22, 1844," Mr. Christiansen said, a vision concerning the future of the Advent peo- ple was given to Hazen Foss, one of those who was looking for the soon-com- ing of Christ. Mr. Foss was told to tell this vision to his fellow-believers, but this he refused to do, because of his tim- idity. "When Mr. Foss continued to ignore repeated calls to tell the vision to others, he was finally told that it would be taken from him and given to 'the weakest of the weak.' Becoming frightened at this message, he made up his mind to obey the call, but found that truly the vision had been taken from him. "The Lord next spoke to Miss Ellen Harmon, later Mrs. White. Her second vision was identical with that of Mr. Foss. She pleaded with the Lord that because of her physical condition such responsibilities might not be placed upon her. While following the commands re- ceived from the Lord, however, her health was restored, and she received in- struction from time to time for the peo- ple of the last days." Lowell Welch, the second speaker, first called the attention to the book display, stating that, including the Testimonies, Mrs. White had written twenty-seven books. Speaking of the quality of these writings, Mr. Welch related a canvassing experience in which a minister had for- bidden the members of his church to buy Mrs. White's books, although admitting to Mr. Welch that they contained noth- ing contrary to the Bible. Indeed, the minister told him, the speaker said, that he had a number of the books in his li- brary, and used them in his studies and his sermons. Seventh and Eighth Grades Give M. V. Program in Church Sabbath, February 13, the M. V. pro- gram was contiued by the Junior Mis- sionary Volunteers of the seventh and eighth grades of the training school un- der the directibn of Miss McElvaine. Bobby Dunn was leader. "Take the world but give me Jesus" was sung as the opening hymn. Gen- nevive Bradley read the 107 th Psalm after which Evelyn Welch offered pray- er. The congregation was then favored with piano solo by Nelora Nerring. Bil- ly Pruitt read the secretary's report, and after the expense offering was taken Eve- lyn and Genevive McWilliams played a cornet duet. "American the Beautiful," a vocal duet by Evelyn Welch, "Wash- ington." Another talk, "Abraham Lin- coln" was given by Everittina Wren, concluding the program. Both of the talks emphasized the qualities of Christian character which these great American leaders possessed and which all Chris- tian young people may well strive to imitate. Folowing the talks, the audience sang "America" and were dismissed. The program next week will be de- voted to the subject: How Can we Ob- tain Greater Blessings from Our Bibles. A most cordial invitation is extended to the young people of College View. QUIDNUNCS STUDY N. H PROGRAM FEB. 27 RUSSIAN CONDITIONS DR. COYNE IS CHURCH SPEAKER Need and Advance of Medical Work in India Are Described by Returned Missionary WORK IS APPRECIATED Zemindar Provides Means for Building of Hospital in Nuzvid and Pays Expenses of Doctor Dr. Coyne, now of the College of Medical Evangelists, but recently a mis- sionary to India, was the Sabbath morn- ing church speaker. He told of the medi- cal work in India, and particularly of the establishment of the hospital in Nuzvid, Kistna District, South India. The means for the building of this hospital were giv- en by a zemindar there, and Dr. Coyne was sent to be the doctor. The treatment of patients began before the hospital was finished, since the needs were so urgent. Moreover, the money given by the zem- indar had all been spent, and he did not seem to be even interested any more. The truth was, however, that he had been sending his servants every day to see how the work was progressing and to report to him. He promised to provide sufficient funds for the completion of the building if he would be allowed to name the hospital. This privilege was granted, with the provision that the words - mis- sion hospital - be included in the name. Today this place is known as the Gif- ford Mission Hospital. The need for a woman doctor was also very great, as Indian women will not permit themselves to be treated by a man. This zemindar finally agreed to pay the expenses of a woman to the hospital, and Dr. Emma Hughes was secured to fill this place. Once Dr. Coyne went to the home of a certain rajah to perform an operation for him. While there he treated the chil- dren of the rajah's bookkeeper and sev- eral hundred people of the village for hookworm disease. Afterwards when the rajah's messenger asked Mr. Coyne for his bill, the doctor rather fearfully asked for $500. To his great surprise the rajah paid him almost $3,000. For a tonsilec- tomy a little later, he received the same sum. These gifts, however, are the excep- tion rather than the rule, Dr. Coyne stated, for 99 per cent of their patients are unable to pay even for their medicine. So it is these gifts from the wealthy people that make it possible to operate the hospital, he said. (Continued on page four) Business Education A Valuable Aid In Successful Living By HowARp C. WELLS There are four vitally important fac- tors involving life; namely, air, water, food, and protection. Air is free, water for the most part is free, but the latter two make up for the first two and make this matter of preserving life a vital and serious issue. Whenever money changes hands there are certain business technicalities also involved. There are the same underly- ing principles whether we buy a loaf of bread or purchase a plot of ground on which to erect a house. True there are specialists in all lines of business today who are more than willing to help us avoid the pitfalls which we might fall into, but they have their price and they usually set it. Even then we are not as well satisfied as though we had done it ourselves, and there is always a vague suspicion lurking in the background. Per- haps another man is interested in the same project we are. He is willing to pay a larger price if certain matters can be arranged to his advantage. Immedi- ately our specialist swings over to the other side and begins to dig the pit deep and wide so there will be no mistake about our falling, and the harder we fall the better it pleases him. That is business. Where business begins, feelings and sentiment cease and men become veritable mechanical machines. Their policy is, "Business and sentiment do not mix." They have their set rules and principles (Continued on page two) SOCIETY ELECTS OFFICERS The Kappa Theta officers for the sec- ond semester were recently elected. They are as follows: Opal Andrews, president; Phylura Nagel, vice-president; Sigrid Ol- son, secretary; Hazel Heinzman and Ellen Swayze, critics, and Ermina Powell, ser- geant-at-arms. The new officers were in charge of the program given last week. To Unite World Under One Communistic Head Is Hope of Russia The speaker at Quidnunc last Sunday evening was Mr. Towey Johnson, lately returned from Russia where he spent fif- teen months. "Russia is spending millions of dollars of gold each year to put communistic ideas into the laboring people of all na- tions, and finally hopes to unite all the world under one communistic head," said Mr. Johnson, and In answer to the ques- tion as to whether the newspapers tell the truth about Russia, gave several in- stances of newspaper propaganda. Mr. Johnson declared that it doesn't pay to ask too many questions nor to say too much when under the red flag. He told of an English author who was met at the border by officials and admitt- ed into Russia without the usual for- malities and taken on a tourist trip. It was the desire of the officials to impress this author favorably so that he would write a glowing account of his experience. He was taken over Russia but saw "only what the great bear wanted him to see." A brief history of the revolution of 1917 was then traced with a sketch of the work of Lenin and Trotsky. Mr. Johns- son stated that he believed that the elec- tions on the twenty-third of this month in Germany would reveal the efforts of the U. S. S. R. to gain control of that country. "The U. S. S. R. has abolished re- ligion," said Mr. Johnson, speaking of the religious background of the Russian people. "Before the revolution the people were under the control of the priests of the Greek Orthodox church, and developed a high state of moral character. The revolution, in one grand stroke, lib- erated the people from the dogma of the church, but they went to an extreme, and the young people are growing up under very loose sex conditions. They are los- ing sight of family life, the basis of sound government." STUDENTS PRESENT EXPRESSION RECITAL Program Includes Musical Read- ings Accompanied by Mr. Gernet and Ruth Johnson On Saturday evening, February 13, seven students in expression were pre- sented in a recital to a large and ap- preciative audience. The first number on the program, "Via Ditto the Cat," given by Mary Mason, told of Richard, a young lawyer, who, stimulated by the springtime and income taxes, wrote a poem "To Evelyn." The poem was delivered via Ditto the cat to Florence, who, by her "woman's in- tuition," helped Richard to recognize Evelyn in herself. Dorothy Aultfather gave "The High- wayman" as a musical reading, accom- panied at the piano by Sterling Gernet. The audience was held spellbound by the enchanting story and the descriptive music. Then, from a dimly lighted stage, Wal- lace Nethery, seated in a large armchair, gave that weird and familiar poem by Edgar Allen Poe, "The Raven." "The Oldest Boarder" as depicted by Irene Ortner, very effectively prevented the Colonel's proposal to the pretty wi- dow, much to the exasperation of the Colonel and the delight of the widow. Harry Craig, in his impersonations of the two soldiers, Fussbudgit and Eddie, gave an insight into an individual war which took place simultaneously with the "big war." After experiencing the dangers of one battle, these soldiers decided to forget their own grievances and fight in the real war as buddies. Mr. Miller, the philanthropist, certainly was in a dilemma when "Sarah Jones" presented herself to him with the infor- mation that she needed help and meant to stick by him until she got it. As Robert Whitsett continued with the story, we were interested to learn that Sarah was really the "playful" daughter of Bill Gunton, one of Miller's best friends. She had heard that Mr. Miller would never give a cent for the aid of humanity, but he gave a five pound note to get rid of her, and after her identity was made known Mr. Miller failed to see the joke and was still bemoaning the fact that she never returned the five pound note. In closing, Freda Myrtle Fullerton read Tennyson's beautiful "Crossing the Bar" with a piano accompaniment played by Ruth Johnson. Great Britain and France clashed point- edly at the world disarmament confer- ence over two distinctly separate theories about abolishing war. "Betty Behave," a Dormitory Scene, to Be Feature of Entertainment The young women of North Hall are working hard for their program, to be given Feb. 27, 1932. They are expecting to make it one of the really big things of the school year and something very different from what they have given In previous years. The first part of the program will be a dialogue, "Betty Behave," which takes place in a boarding school. Following this there will be a number of miscellan- eous selections. The concluding number is a garden scene. Both the general ad- mission tickets and the reserved seat tick- ets are on sale now by the girls of North Hall. The Chinese-Japanese conflict is still raging without indications of abatement. Consternation was felt at the beginning of the week when the Chinese turned their guns on the international settlement, settled by foreigners, for the purpose of running the Japanese out of the neutral area. Two heavy skirmishes, with much bombing about the Woosung sector, have taken place. Heavy fighting with no marked gain on either side raged also in this sector. Despite the heavy bombing of the Chinese forts and the Chapei dis- trict by the Japanese, the Chinese are still holding on with much persistence. Peace efforts have fallen flat. Joseph C. Grew, fifty-two, a man whose thirty years of diplomatic service have taken him almost around the world, was named to succeed W. Cameron Forbes as ambassador to Tokyo, for the United States. The United States has presented to the Geneva disarmament conference nine points for the limitation of armaments. They were the proposal to prolong the Washington and London naval agree- ments, the further reduction of naval arm- ament, the abolition of submarines and the promotion of land disarmament by restricting tanks and mobile guns, pre- venting lethal gases and bacteriological warfare, protecting civil population against aerial bombing, limiting defense forces to those necessary to maintain in- ternal order, plus some contingent for de- fense, and by bugetary limitation of ex- penditures for war supplies when their direct limitation was seen secured. President Hoover began a move to lib- eralize federal reserve bank rules to make it possible to rediscount paper held by small banks, not now capable of being turned into cash. The project would put to work a billion dollars in gold now ly- ing in the vaults of the federal reserve banks and the treasury. By the natural workings of economic laws governing credit, it would add eight to ten billion BAND ENTERTAINS FIFTY ORPHANS Howard Jacobs llustrates Talk With Chemical Experiments The children at the State orphanage were entertained last Sabbath afternoon, February 12, by an interesting program given by one of the Sunshine bands. After a rousing song service, conducted by Sigrid Olson with Madge Rosenthal at the piano, Earl Gable played a cor- net solo which greatly delighted the chil- dren. Then as Howard Jacobs gave a talk, fifty pairs of eyes were glued to the table where he had his apparatus for some experiments with which he il- lustrated his talk. The children were very interested in the pair of chemical trees which were left for them to watch grow. dollars to the nation's credit facilities. This would be in addition to the funds the government hopes to get back to work through its two billion dollar Re- construction Finance corporation. Maxim Litvinoff, soviet Russia's com- misar for foreign affairs, told the world disarmament conference that "universal and toal disarmament" is the only "in- fallible solution" of the problem of organ- izing peace, averting war, and assuring security to the nations of the world. The foreign office announced that the Lausanne reparations conference will be held next June and that its object has been enlarged to include not only rep- arations, but other world economic dif- ficulties as well. The meeting of the disarmament con- ference at Geneva began with pessimism, and is giving way to optimism. Speeches and conversations during the last week have disclosed a desire for conciliation. France, whose plan for an international police force as presented by War Min- ister Andre Tardieu was aimed only at security, and did not mention disarm- ament, later expressed to the conference her willingness to disarm as well. Italy changed her claim for parity to a claim for - perequation," using a French term which did not appear in the English trans- lation. This means approximate parity to be achieved gradually through success- ive diminutions of the difference between the two countries. France and Italy al- ready are conducting direct negotiations. Germany said she would be willing that equality between victor and vanquished states be reached in some future year by gradual reduction. The U. S. will stand aloof from guaranteeing security, but a way out may be found by an all-Euro- pean guarantee, including England, which is reluctant to join but may do so to save the conference. MUSIC RECITAL GIVEN The Program Includes Both Instrumental And Vocal Numbers On Sunday afternoon, Feb. 14, a studio recital was presented by the Union Col- lege Department of Music. The recitals, which consist of instru- mental as well as vocal numbers, feature both beginners and advanced students. They not only serve to furnish tl:e stu dents valuable experience in appearing before audiences, but prove to b= enter. taming and instructive to those who are interested in music.

Need Is Great Dean Coyne, returned missionary from India, spoke in the Missionary Volunteer meeting Friday evening. He began his talk by telling something about the coun- try itself. "India is a great country. From the extreme 50 7 ithcra tip to the extreme northern tip is a distance of two thousand miles. The climate varies in the different parts of the country. In the place we were located the temperature never gets below 78 degrees at any time. "There are many different castes in India. The people cannot marry people of some other caste. If a man's father is a carpenter, he cannot rise above that level. One cannot raise or lower his position in life. In continuing his talk, Dr. Coyne told about the clothing of the people, their food, and their living quarters. In all of these things the people are very un- sanitary. The animals such as dogs and pigs roam through the streets and act- ually live in the house with the family itself. "The father is absolute ruler of his household. The wife of the son becomes part of the father's household and he is direct ruler over that family. So it is, all the way down the line of descendants." In closing, Dean Coyne told of the many needs of the people. They need doctors and nurses to care for them and to teach the natives how to care for the sick. "We are a Christian army. Our orders are to go into the world and preach the gospel," he said. LINCOLN PROGRAM GIVEN IN CHAPEL The Birthday of Civil War President Celebrated by Students The chapel hour Wednesday, Feb. 10, was given over to the History Depart- ment. Abraham Lincoln and his service to mankind was the central theme of this patriotic program. American appreciation of Lincoln has become stereotyped, but a new realization of gratitude to this humble man was given the students when they heard the words of appreciation ex- pressed by a citizen of foreign birth and by one of the colored race. After in- troductory remarks by Dr. Dick the pro- gram was presented as follows: "Marching Through Georgia," Orchestra. Anecdotes of Lincoln, Calvin Gordon. The Roll Call, Sigrid Olson. A Foreigner's Idea of Lincoln, William Barclay. What Lincoln Means to the Negroes, H. D. Singleton. The Blue and the Gray, Ruth Wiest.

EDITORIAL STAFF Gerald H. Minchin Editor•inChief IS THERE A PLACE? In his address in chapel last Monday, former lieutenant-governor Williams laid down some principles of great interest to the younger generation of Adventists as they plan for their life work. He spoke of the inability of this denomination to absorb into its organized work all the product of its colleges, and stressed the idea that there are other fields open to conscientious Adventist young people. Even in politics acceptable service could be done by those who are prepared to do it. He cited the cases of Joseph, Daniel, and the three Hebrews as men who served the nation and yet remained true to God. It would seem that this attitude is the correct one, and the present economic situation has had its share in bringing this conviction to the minds of many others besides Mr. Williams. Judging by the steps taken toward the accrediting of our senior colleges and by the subject matter being introduced into their curricula, our schools are sensing the situation and are adjusting themselves to it. The denomination should always have first place in any call that may come. If such a call does not come the young people of this de- nomination will show their courage and vitality by facing this issue squarely. Nothing is to be gained by holding to a theory that belongs to past days. G. H. M.

PAGE TWO THE CLOCK TOWER UNIVERSITIES TO HONOR GEORGE WASHINGTON Many universities and colleges will be represented at the Bicentennnial Convoca- tion of the George Washington Univer- sity to be held in Constitution Hall, the auditorium of the Daughters of the Amer- ican Revolution, on the evening of Febru- ary 22. In honoring George Washington on this occasion, representatives of colleges and universities throughout the country and the Department of Superintendence of the National Education Association, will join with the University founded in the Dis- trict of Columbia in furtherance of his expressed hope, bearing his name, and dedicated to his educational ideals. The convocation address will be deliv- ered by Dr. Cloyd Heck Marvin, Pres- ident of the George Washington Univer- sity and Chairman of the District of Columbia Bicentennial Commission. The convocation is designated by the Bicentennial Commission as a collateral patriotic event of the National Capital's program of participation in the Bicenten- nial celebration. It is also scheduled as an official part of the program of the De- partment of Superintendence of the Na- tional Education Association and will be attended by several thousand members assembled in Washington. The winter convocation of the George Washington University is traditionally held on Washington's birthday. This year, marking as it does the opening of the nationwide Bicentennial observance, February 22 is a day of extraordinary moment in the University calendar, and the University will commemorate it by conferring honorary degrees upon a con- siderable number of its graduates who, through attainment in their several fields, merit such distinction. The list of those to be so honored includes graduates who have won distinction in the fields of science, education, public service, states- manship, diplomacy, law, medicine, en- gineering, banking, and industry. They will come to Washington from all parts of the country to be present at the con- vocation exercises. The George Washington University was founded in 1821 in furtherance of the hope and project of the first President of the United States for a university lo- cated in the Capital of the Nation "to which the youth of fortune and talents from all parts thereof might be sent for the completion of their Education in all the branches of polite literature; in arts and sciences, in acquiring knowledge in the principles of Politics and good Gov- ernment." With Washington's desire in mind, John Quincy Adams, the Secretary of State, and all the other members of the Cabinet, together with thirty-two mem- bers of Congress, contributed to the fund for the purchase of land and the develop- ment of the institution. Three years later when the first commencement was held, President Monroe headed the eminent company attending the exercises. In the evolving of its curriculum the University has sought to develop oppor- tunities in the National Capital in the various phases of education as set forth by George Washington. Education "in all the branches of polite literature; in arts and science," is offered by Columbian College, the University's original academic unit. Professional re- search in these fields is directed by the Graduate Council. The school of Government, founded in 1898 as the School of Comparative Juris- prudence and Diplomacy, is particularly in accord with Washington's desire for training at the National Capital in "the principles of Politics and good Govern- ment." This school was the first in the country to offer training specifically for the Foreign Service. Discontinued as a separate academic unit in 1910, it was reestablished in 1928 as the School of Government under the endowment of the Supreme Council, Scottish Rite Masons of the Southern Jurisdiction, as a memor- ial to "George Washington, the Mason." The George Washington University also has professional schools of Medicine, Law, Engineering, Architecture, Educa- tion, Pharmacy, Library Science, and Fine Arts. A JAPANESE ESSAY The banana are a great remarkable fruit. He are constructed in the same architectural style as the honorable sau- sage. Difference being, skin of sausage are habitually consumed, while it are not advisable to eat rapping of banana. Perhaps are also interesting the follow- ing differences between the two objects. Banana are held aloft while consuming; sausage are usually left in reclining po- sition. Banana are first green in culler, then gradual turn yellowish. Sausage start out with indefinite culler (resemble terrier cotta) and retain hue indefinitely. Sau- sage depend for creation upon human be- ing or stuffing machine, while banana are pristine product of honorable mother nature. Both article resemble the other in that neither have nut or colonel of any kind. In case of sausage both conclusions are attached to other sausages, honorable banana on opposite hand are joined on end to the stem, other termination are en- tirely loose. Finally, banana are strictly member of the vagitable kingdom, while affiliation of sausage is often undecided.—Essay by a Japanese schoolboy, credited by the Shanghai China press to "Fresh Howl- ers," by H. Cecil Hunt. C. D. W. The Collegian. DID YOU EVER THINK? "That a kind word put out at interest brings back an enormous percentage of love and appreciation? "That, though a loving thought may not seem to be appreciated, yet it has made you better and braver because of it? "KINDNESS is the helm of sea-going vessels." —The Collegian. CURRENT COMMENT Students in political history should be interested in making a comparison be- tween Dr. Coyne's and Jehan Warlick- er's estimates of British rule in India. What is it that leads to two such con- trary conceptions? Some of us have been waiting in breathless suspense for the edict that is to thunder down from the chapel rostrum one of these days regarding studying during the chapel hour. It must come. The fates have decreed it. Read "A Critical Analysis of Western Civilization," by Kirby Page, in the Re- view and Herald for Feb. 4. It is passing strange if anyone can read that article without feeling his pulse stir. Page may lean a little backwards occasionally, but it is sure that he knows an injustice when he sees one. Letter Received From Unionite In Mission Field (Concluded from last week) You may be sure none of us liked the idea of their setting off for Bintulu again especially since Gus was sick and the weather worse if anything. We both went down and found Tsz Lin on his mat. He said the hand felt fine. The compresses had relieved the pain. Gus told him the thumb was rotten and would have to be cut off, and that they had better get ready and go back to Bintulu at once. Poor Tsz Lin, he didn't complain, but the terror of those waves was still upon him, "Nol" he said, "That dresser is a Chinese, he doesn't know how to help me. If it has to be cut off—you do it." We hadn't thought of that! Now you may think of cutting off a man's thumb would be an easy job, prob- ably it would be for a doctor, but with no anesthetic and no proper surgical in- struments it is harder. It is still harder when the whole hand is in such a condi- tion as that was and still harder when the man is a dearly loved friend who has been ready to risk his life with you or to go anywhere and do anything for the love of the Lord and for love of you. Gus explained that he had no anesthe- tic and that it would hurt a good deal, but Tsz Lin said he would bear it. Even then I doubt if Gus would have had the nerve to do it, but when we opened it up and looked at it again, it looked and smelt so terrible that we both felt we hadn't a minute to lose and that even the trip to Bintulu might cost him his life in delay. We fixed up our kitchen table. Gus sterilized his simple instruments, and we had prayer. Ah Len was with us (a loyal standby in every circumstance. The voices of the two women trembled a lit- tle as they prayed, but not the men— there is not a drop of milk in the veins of either of them. They are brave red- blooded fellows. Tsz Lin began his pray- er with these words, - 0 God, who know- eth all things, I do thank Thee so much for all Thy goodness and mercy to me." I marked the fact that he was the only one of the four of us who mingled praise with his prayer. Gus was afraid his hand wouldn't be steady enough to do it, but the Lord helped and he made a good job of it. Tsz Lin groaned a couple times, but never flinched. I held his arm, but there was no need for he made no effort to draw it back. Ah Len handed the surg- eon his instruments. Gus had to take scis- sors and clip away a lot of dead flesh besides what he cut off. That took longer, but was not very painful. We found that that skin had been twisted right off the flesh and the flesh twisted off the bone. It couldn't possibly have gotten well. Gus took it off at the first joint and we hope it can be saved with that much. The hand looked bad for a couple days and we could hardly rest for fear of his losing his hand, but now the swell- ing has all gone out of the arm above the wrist. He has had no fever, and is sleeping and eating as usual. He felt a little discouraged for a day or so. He hated to lose that thumb of course. He needed every finger he had to earn a' living for his five children and his aged parents, but he never complained once, and seems his sunny self again now, and is around giving orders to the workmen as usual and doing all he can with the one good hand. We do praise the Lord for all His mercy and goodness. He is indeed a present help, a constant deliver- er. We got after Gus's trouble with some good hot treatments and he is completel) recovered now and we are all feeling of better cheer. Yesterday we planted our corn-patch. It has taken quite a while to get it ready as it rains so much, the ground is always soaked. It is clay in that garden and hard to work when wet. Today we cleared a place for a garden of peanuts, and got a lot prepared—spaded up, and partly fenced. We may be able to plant to- morrow. The River-house is nearly done. The floor is all in and most of the walls are up. It will be ready for use before long. The clearing for our home on top of the hill is progressing and some of the heavy timbers are being carried to the top as the Dyaks bring them in. We have gotten some of the finest wood in the world to build into our house. If we were building even in Kuching our house would proba- bly cost us seven or eight times what we are putting into it here. We are right in the center of the hard-wood country of Bornea and besides that, the depression has hit the lumber trade so badly that the bottom has simply dropped out of the price of timber. We have quite a little hard wood timber on our place. One tree is of such hard and valuable wood that enough for a hatchet handle cost 75c in Singapore (gold money). This tree is simply enormous! It towers up for hun- dreds of feet. Some day I will measure around the base of it so I can tell you how big around it is. If it were in your back yard, you would be a rich man, but it is of little value to us. Last Sabbath we went again to Sidang, where Elam is working, and felt really refreshed by our little service there. The people seem to be really interested and many paid the closest attention through- out the whole service. 0, how we long to see the Holy Spirit take hold of them and change their lives. They are such interesting, lovable people. Next week we hope to have Manjoo here and soon we want to organize our own Sabbath school here at Bukit Nyala. Perhaps you would like to know how to pronounce Bukit Nyala. It is like this: Boo-keet Nyah- lah. I won't try to write more than this page now, as there is sure to be a lot more to write before time for the mail to go week after next. The children are studying as usual again and the music lessons are started again. We are gradually getting back in- to the routine of living. The piano came through without one string being broken, but it is a little out of tune. We will have to get at it and fix it. We fare better here than we did at Bintulu as far as food goes. Thanks to Tsz Lin's foresight our garden is al- ready yielding us enough vegetables so we have good food. We get plenty of rice by trading. We get more than a gallon pailful for a quart bottle of kero- sene, or half a quart bottle of coconut oil. Tsz Lin sometimes trades a little bar of scented toilet soap for that much rice. It is A-No. 1 rice too. We eat loads of it! In fact we live on rice almost entirely. We spend very little money here. Our dealings here are nearly all trades. We keep a hundred pounds of salt and that much sugar on hand, beside several kero- sene tins full of kerosene and coconut oil, matches, etc. With these we can get anything the Dyaks have to sell. We us- ually pay cash for timber. It is a busy place around here already and will be much more so when we really open up for business. Sometimes one can see seven or eight boat loads of Dyaks com- ing up river at once, all headed for our wharf. We got such a nice letter from Brother Johanson by this last mail, also a fine let- ter from the MacGuires. Yes, we have a great deal to thank the Lord for. He is so good to us, those who put their trust in Him shall never be put to confusion. Sometimes we are almost too tired to think (Continued on page three) Girls' Dormitory Named Rachel Preston House "What will the women of Walla Walla college name their new domitory?" has been the question in many minds for the past 18 weeks. At last the hall has been given a name. It will be called Rachel Preston house. True, the girls were seemingly fickle in regard to naming their home. But who wouldn't hesitate in christening a hall when the name is to live so long. Scores of names were handed in, but none seemed to meet the requirements. Rachel Preston was the first Seventh- day Adventist woman. What girl does not feel justly proud of such a feminine predecessor. In days to come, instead of saying girls' dormitory, how much more distinctive it will be to say Rachel Pres- ton house! —Collegian. BUSINESS EDUCATION AN AID TO SUCCESSFUL LIVING (Continued from page one) which they apply and attribute to them their success. They have their own fam- ilies to support and we are the means of that support. That old tribal law, "Sur- vival of the fittest" is as strong today as it was a century ago. Society does not take into consideration how much we know, but there is a certain amount we are expected to know and this amount grows as the nation grows. Business knowledge and education makes the difference between the day- laborer and the business executive. It is a recognized fact that the day-laborer spends all he earns. The more he makes the better he lives, and his bank book at the end of each year looks the same. He lacks knowledge and incentive and is totally unprepared for reverses when they come. The bread-lines in the large cities are full of men who had not the oppor- tunity or did not take advantage of the opportunity to procure an education which would fit them for the stringent requirements of today. Penitentiaries to- day are full of men who realized this mistake too late and decided the world owed them a living, and they were go- ing to have it no matter the method used. Let's take the successful, educated, business man. He has expended time and energy for the attainment of his present position. He had a vision and set a defin- ite goal which he hoped to reach. No doubt he had many obstacles to over- come, but imagine his satisfaction when he finally succeeded. This is the type of man I think the author had in mind when he wrote, "The man who knows how will always have a job, but the man who knows why will always be his boss." A POEM OF POEMS A woman of San Francisco is said to have occupied a year in searching for and fitting together the following thirty- eight lines from thirty-eight English- speaking poems: Why all this toil for triumphs of an hour? Life's a short summer; man, a flower. By turns we catch the vital breath, and die The cradle and the tomb, alas! so nigh. To he is better far than not to be, Though all man's life may seem a tragedy; But light cares speak when mighty cares are dumb, The bottom is but shallow whence they come. Your fate is but the common fate of all; Unmingled joys here to no man befall. Nature to each allots her proper sphere, Custom does often reason overrule, And throw a cruel sunshine on a fool. Live well, how long, how short, permit to heaven; They who forgive most shall be most forgiven. Sin may be clasped so close we cannot see its face— Vile intercourse where virtue has not place; Then keep each passion down, however dear, Thou pendulum betwixt a smile and a tear; Her sensual snares, let faithless Pleasure lay With craft and skill to ruin and betray; Soar not too high to fall, but stoop to rise. We masters grow of all that we despise. Oh! then, renounce that impious self-es- teem; Riches have wings, and grandeur is a dream. Think not ambition wise because 'tis brave; The path of glory leads but to the grave. What is ambition? 'Tis a glorious cheat, Only destructive to the brave and great. What's all the gaudy glitter of a crown? The way to bliss lies not on beds of down. How long we live, not years, but actions tell; That man lives twice who lives the first life well. Make, then, while yet ye may, your God your friend, Whom Christians worship, yet not com- prehend. The trust that's given, guard, and to yourself be just; For, live we how we can, yet die we must. —Youth's Instructor.

HORNUNG'S HARDWARE Phone 13 W ACROSS FROM CAMPUS DEPTH SOUNDERS FOR AIRCRAFT W ITH the application of electricity to aircraft instruments, another chapter was written in the annals of air transportation. To-day's ship is not only swifter but safer and more dependable. Modern depth-sounding devices indicate instantly the height of the ship above the ground surface. A unique feature of General Electric's recently purchased monoplane is the almost completely electrified instrument panel. The most recently developed instrument is the sonic altimeter, which provides a quick means of indicating changes in height above ground. Sound from an intermittently operated air whistle is directed down- ward. The echo is picked up in a receiving megaphone, and the sound is heard through a stethoscope. The elapsed time between the sound and the echo determines the height. Tests show that water, build- ings, woods, etc., produce echoes that are different and characteristic. Besides developing a complete system of aircraft in- struments, college-trained General Electric engineers have pioneered in every electrical field—on land, on sea, and in the air. 95-923 GENERALELECTRIC SALES AND ENGINEERING SERVICE IN PRINCIPAL CITIES THE CLOCK TOWER PAGE THREE LETTER RECEIVED FROM UNIONITE (Continued from page two) these days, with all the hard work of digging this station out of the jungle, but there is joy in it all because we belong to the King and we are working in His vineyard. He walks and He talks in His garden as of old. Wednesday, November 25th. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving day and we would surely celebrate if Gus were not starting for Bintulu again then. Probably Robert will go with him this time, as he can't take any green-horn along to help him bring the boat back after Tsz Lin is gone. Tsz Lin's hand is making a good re- covery. We had to lance it in three places to drain out the pus and serum that gathered around the lower joint of the thumb. It must have been badly wrenched. He is going back to Kuching by this boat. If it were not for his leaving and having to get money, Gus wouldn't go to Bintulu at this time. We hope and pray that they may have a safe trip. Our corn is up and growing well, also our peanuts and cucumbers and other vegetables. We have sent to India for some more seeds, as our old stock is all too old. Seed deteriorates very fast in this hot climate. Rhoda Belle has had fever for five days. We don't know what is the trouble with her. It isn't malaria, because the quinine has no effect on the fever. It is just an upset stomach, I think. She seems better today, but rather weak and un- steady on her legs. I hate to have Gus go off to Bintulu when someone is ail- ing, but the Lord is here with us. Strange how we dote so much on human help when the mighty God is our Refuge, and "underneath are the everlasting arms." The River-house is finished and the house on the hill is contracted and prac- tically all the material bought. The level- ing is also nearly done on top of the hill and we will be through with the coolies in one more week. Manjoo and Lolong have moved in and every week sees us more settled and more civilized around Bukit Nyala. We have been working very hard, but we don't care how many quarts of our perspira- tion water this soil nor how many square inches of skin come off in blisters so long as the work goes forward and each day brings the time a little nearer, when this bit of wilderness shall blossom as the rose, and the Dyak work shall flour- ish to the glory of God. We are as brown as Dyaks and I can spade up gar- den in the middle of the day without get- ting sunburned, I've such a heavy coat of tan. Last night we were sitting under our big mosquito curtain reading Patriarchs and Prophets and we had just sentenced the two youngest members of the family to go to bed, when we heard voices com- ing up the hill in the dark. We thought it was Tsz Lin or Manju and Robert crawled out of the net to see what they wanted. They were coming up the steps then and presently Robert gave a great shout, "MAIL!!!" We all skittered out of the net in a hurry. It was two Dyaks bound for the Anap River (one of the upper tributaries of the Tatau) and the clerk in Tatau had put all our mail in one of the big red iron mail boxes that the Government uses for out-stations, and sent a letter along containing the key. It was a very exciting evening I can tell you, and the two spanklings didn't get to bed until an hour past their usual bed- time. There was only one letter from Ameri- ca, that was from Papa and was written just as you were ready to move to new quarters. You may be sure it was eagerly read and greatly appreciated. We do earnestly hope that you will be very faithful about writing to us. If we don't get at least one letter whenever the mail comes we feel very, very disappointed indeed. There was bad news from Kuching. Our brother Tan Su Ming, (Amy's hus- band) who has had chronic T. B. for some years, has now got a cancer on his head and we fear he cannot last many months. He has been very frail for a long time, but has tried to continue his busi- ness as dentist in order to support their large family. The hard times have hit them awfully hard. We could hardly sleep last night for thinking of their sore affliction. Amy has taken him to Singa- pore for treatment, and left the children with Eng Giok, her brother-in-law. We surely enjoyed the last batch of Nature Magazines. There were so many nice things in them and we have so little reading matter that we enjoyed them much indeed. The package of books sent by Bro. G. never did come through. We wrote to him about it and he said that all those things went on to Shanghai and he picked them up there. He has written about them to Shanghai and it is possible that they may turn up yet. The children were bitterly disappointed over not get- ting those books. They had fairly counted the days till they would come. We have read and reread our old books until we just wanted something new. We are hop- ing they will yet come along and surprise us. This last week we worked a lot on the boat. Gus had side sections made for the back so the waves couldn't get in so easily, and I had to make the curtains over to fit the new arrangements. It was very hard because of having no proper needle for that kind of work. It doesn't look very good even now, but we hope the waves will not get aboard so easily as they did last time. We also dried corn and made bean pickles this week beside working in the garden. There is no end of work to do and we often wish we had more than one pair of hands. There is a lot to write, but there is no more time now. We are very happy and contented and of good courage. We know that the Lord has not led us to this place to mock us. He must have some jewels in this Dyak tribe. Though we know we are utterly powerless to convert them we also know that the Holy Spirit is able, and we are putting our trust in God. May God bless you all. Ever lovingly yours, Norma SPANISH STUDIES HAVE REWARDS Another Woman Keeping Sabbath as Result of Work in Lincoln Home "Another keeping the Sabbath" is the report brought back by Hazel Brebner and Bessie McCumsey from the weekly Bible study in Lincoln's Spanish-speaking section. One family has been keeping Sabbath now for several weeks. A neigh- bor woman, who has been a faithful at- tendant at the studies, last Sabbath ex- pressed her desire to begin by keeping the next Sabbath. This decision followed the study presented last Sabbath, "The Seal of God." Another neighbor woman, who has at- tended the studies in the past but who has not taken part in them for a while largely because of Catholic opposition, is also studying with the workers again and has brought in one of her friends to join in the studies. The girls express their belief that the providence of God led them to make an attempt last Sab- bath to reopen the studies with this wo- man, for it meant getting the interest of her friend as well. The latter has pro- mised to continue with studies, stating that she has had some contact with Ad- ventists before but desires to learn more, for she agrees with many of the doc- trines. Luella Coleman has joined the group of Bible workers, as there was an opening for regular studies in another nearby home, where a few studies have been given in the past, though not regularly. There was need of someone to take the responsibility of going regularly each week, and Miss Coleman has arranged to do so. Last Sabbath her study con- cerned the fall of man and the plan of redemption. The Bible workers who go to these homes, all within the compass of two blocks, find very poor and humble peo- ple, living in very poor and humble quarters, some with bare floors and cur- tainless windows, yet they are seeing transformations take place, slowly, yet very perceptibly. The home of those with whom studies have been held for the longest period of time this year shows evidence of change. Though there is much progress to be made, an atmos- phere of cleanliness and order is begin- ning to manifest itself. Those who are doing this work are looking forward to the time when they hope a larger group of these interested foreign people right here in our own dooryard, as it were, can be gathered out for the kingdom of heaven. Mrs. Rosenthal also accompanied the group to Lincoln and gave a study in a home in a nearby part of the city. HAVE YOU HAD A VISION? "Get a vision, friend. This is the sec- ret of success in any undertaking. The man without a vision never accomplishes anything worth while. History proves this fact. "Martin Luther saw the world freed from the bondage of papal superstition when he nailed his theses on the church door at Wittenberg. J. J. Hill saw a railroad before he ever owned a foot of land; Thomas Edison saw a talking machine long before he perfected his great invention; Marconi saw news tra- veling through space, and his vision gave us the wireless; David Livingstone saw dark Africa won for God, and his un- tiring labors opened the door for the missionary, and sounded the death knell of the slave trade; General Booth of the Salvation Army fame saw the surg- ing, seething masses of poor in every civilized country clothed and fed and up- lifted, and this spurred him on to do such a wonderful work in their behalf,—a work which lives long after him. "Yes, we must get a vision, for un- less we have a vision, for what shall we striver —Youth's Instructor. Mr. and Mrs. Luther Lee, of Des Mbines, Iowa, former Unionites, an- nounce the birth of a daughter, Marilyn Janice, on February 10. Mrs. Lee, form- erly Miss Jane Russell, was editor-in- chief of the Clock Tower two years ago. Mr. Paul Shakespeare, Field Secretary of the Colorado Conference, spent the week-end at Union College. Mr. Shakes- peare has been attending the Union coun- cil in Omaha. As we think of the people of the Con- federacy let us not think of them as "rebels" but as people who were sincere- ly dedicated to a cause which they be- lieved to be Liberty. The spirit with which they fought is to be compared with that of our Revolutionary War fathers. Never in history has a people been more devoted to their cause. They sacri- ficed everything from their lives to al- most every necessity of life. Soon after the firing on Fort Sumter, President Lincoln proclaimed a blockade of all southern ports. Very soon the Southern people began to feel its effects. Medicine was needed very badly. Many soldiers were sick and wounded and lacked the proper medical aid. Tea, coffee, salt, soda, pepper, leather, and iron are a few articles among the many needed ones. Substitutes were supplied for as many of these as possible. For coffee they used parched corn, rye, wheat, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and cot- ton seed. Dried leaves were used in place of tea. A substitute for soda was also dis- covered. Ashes of cobs were put into a par, covered with water. The white sediment was then taken and mixed with two parts of sour milk. Newspapers could hardly secure enough paper to print on. The first step they took to preserve paper was cutting the size of the paper to one-half. As the war progressed paper became more scarce and when one received his paper (if at all), perhaps one sheet would be white, another brown, and perhaps another wall- paper. Any kind they could secure was issued. Because the South contained very few factories the people were forced to go back to the old domestic system.

Every woman was busied with the making of gloves, stockings, and sweaters for the family and the army. Nothing was thrown away. When the feet of the stockings were worn out the upper part was unraveled, spun on the spinning wheel and knitted again into some useful article. The Southern people lived in constant fear. Many times they were in sound of the battle fields for days and never know- ing when to fear an attack. Mail and newspapers were delayed for days and months and perhaps never received. All the news they received was gossip and al- most every day brought news of the death of a husband, brother, neighbor, or friend. Each morning was spent in gath- ering what news they could from each other. The suffering of the people in or near the battle fields was often very great. Near Vicksburg people sought refuge in caves. These were damp, dark places and the mouths of the caves were never out of range of the Federal army's guns. As Sherman marched he left the coun- try desolate behind him. Homes were left in ruins. All that marked his path was ashes, smoke, and broken glass. Women and children were left without food or shelter. They were so much in need that they would pick np all the grain left at Sherman's camp which his horses had scattered. This continual suffering which the peo- ple endured finally brought about a pro- found desire for peace. The South, with the North, breathed a sigh of relief when peace came. Mrs. M. J.

We had searched the town for a piece of property that whole will would be suitable to build our church upon, but had not been able to find any land available. "One day when the zemindar was at our home, Mrs. Coyne told me that she was going to ask the zemindar if he knew of any piece of property that would be suitable to build the church upon. I tried to persuade her not to, but she said that she felt impressed that she ought to ask him. When she asked her question he said, 'I bought a piece of property two years ago for you to build a church upon, and have been waiting all this time for you to ask me.' • Today ' we have a nice little church there that will seat about 150 people. Later we wanted a bell, since it is "Later we customary for all churches in India to have bells. But bells cost $100, and we did not have the money. We had a pa- tient there who had been sick for a good many months. He had been traveling to government hospitals and medicine men to try to get relief from his sickness, but no one had been able to find out what the matter was, and he had been getting worse. Dr. Hughes examined him when he came to the hospital. The evan- gelist had talked to him, and one day the man said, 'I want to make you a present. What do you want the most?' The evan- gelist told the man we wanted a bell for the church. So the man said, "You get the bell, and I'll pay for it.' The Hindu people couldn't understand how that came about, but I think that the Lord worked upon his mind to bring him to make this gift. -One patient built a cottage for high caste people, since many of them refused to come and stay in the same building with the others. This was very much ap- preciated and is in almost constant use. -That man was an orthodox Hindu when he came to our mission, but that prejudice against Christianity was broken by the kind Christian attitude that was shown by the nurses there, who were working for the love of their work and not for wages. They did not even re- ceive tips, although tips and bribery are prevalent all over the country. You have to bribe everyone you come in contact with in order to receive any service at all in India.
