Union's Call E. L. P111.GENO In the time of early Autumn, When the harvest all is gathered, Comes the call of dear old Union To her children far and near,— To her children who have wandered Midst the balmy days of summer From her campus, halls, and classrooms, From her ever-watchful care,— Saying, "Come to me, my children, Cheer my heart with gladsome voices, Come, 'tis time for school again." And the children answer gladly, Answer as they hasten onward— "We are coming, dear old Union, Coming—coming back again To your empty halls and classrooms, To your watchful care again. We have learned to love you dearly, Learned that all your words are wisdom. 1.1es, we're coming, dear old Union, Patience, we will soon be there." 6 THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER A Vacation Trip BERT BYRON DAVIS ACATION is over; but memories of it yet linger. Per- haps that is why people take vacations—so they can have pleasant things to recall when the grind of daily work presses heavily upon them. The particular trip of which I am to tell you was an automobile trip from Kalamazoo, Michigan, to Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, and return. The morning of our departure was a cloudy, misty one; but nothing could dampen our enthusiasm as we left with our automobile well stocked with provisions for the trip. There were four of us—my sister, her husband, my wife, and I. Ten miles from the city we came to our childhood home. The ruthless hands of strangers have made so many changes about the old homestead that we did not even care to stop. We noted that a few of the old trees were still standing, especially two large black walnut trees now nearly eighty years old. These trees all through our childhood years furnished the canopy to our play houses. Under these trees, too, came in summer the study of the Sabbath school lessons each week. There we learned to love the name of Jesus and to reverence Him. A little farther down the road used to be a creek, spanned by an old wooden bridge. This we crossed each morning on our way to school. Surely this old friend would greet us. But no! The bridge is gone, and the creek, too, for the most part. The state highway commissioner must needs; straighten the road at this point; so now we find a gravel "fill" and a new cement bridge, which in no sense takes the place of the old wooden one of by-gone days. Leaving childhood scenes and memories behind we traveled for many miles over splendidly gravelled highways past prosperous looking farm houses. Even though no frost had yet come, the reds and yellows of autumn were beginning to show in the hedgerows and fence corners. In many places sumac, sassafras, and wild grapes were a tangled mass. They formed a pleasant background for the beautiful golden-rod, asters, and other autumn flowers that bedeck the roadside. They also formed a pleasing foreground for the many fields of corn nearly ready for the shocking, and the brown evenly turned furrows of the plowman as he prepared the fields for the fall wheat sowing. THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER 7

Our course took us the entire length of the state of Indiana. What a splendid state it is! As never before we realized the extent of this great commonwealth. The first night's stop was at the pretty little city of Franklin. A good rest at the hotel made us eager to continue our trip. The next afternoon brought us to New Albany. Ten cents toll for each member of our party and a ride across a very long bridge that spans the Ohio River brought us to Louisville, Kentucky. True to our preconceived notion, one of the first sights to greet us on the Kentucky shore was a picaninny eating watermelon. Later we joined the watermelon-eating army. No, we were not drafted; the service was voluntary. Heavy summer rains in the section of Kentucky lying between Louisville and the Mammoth Cave, had washed away much of the soil surface of the roads, leaving only rock foundation. Five miles per hour was the best speed record that we could make at times. The number of vertical miles we traveled was often greater than the number of horizontal miles. The reader's imagination may fill in the details. Just before reaching the interesting little city of Bards- town there was a stretch of paved pike. The driver gathered unto himself his disjointed upper and lower extremities, while those of the rear seat reassembled themselves, happy to find no parts lost. Bardstown was settled in 1775 by emigrants from Virginia and Pennsylvania. Here lived and now lies burried John Fitch, the in- ventor of the first steamboat. Here, too, is "My Old Kentucky Home." This famous home was the property of Judge John Rowan. Mr. Rowan was noted for his hospitality. His home was the scene of much merriment as well as the place where many national issues were discussed. Presidents of the United States, governors, sena- tors, foreign diplomats and many others were guests in the Rowan home over a long period of years. James Madison, Henry Clay, Prince Louis, and Lafayette were among the guests. Another guest was a cousin of Rowan's—Stephen Collins Foster. It was one day while sitting on the front steps of the old manse, watching a band of slaves being driven along the pike, that Foster conceived the idea of writing that now famous song, "My Old Kentucky Home." Later, after the Judge had been laid to rest in a retired spot on the estate, as Foster stood by the grave one day, he had the inspiration to write "Massa's in de Cold, Cold Ground," Thus to the whole world as well as to the slaves on his own estate Judge Rowan be:. camp "Massa? " "Old Black Joe," "cold Folks at Home," "Nelly 8 THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER

Bly," "Old Dog Tray," and other favorites from this plantation home. Omitting much more of interest from My Old Kentucky Home, we drove across Bardstown to St. Joseph's Proto-Cathedral. In this old church are several original masterpieces of art, presented by Louis Philippe, King of France, and his brother-in-law, Francis I, King of the Two Sicilys. Prince Louis, during a period of ex- ile, spent nearly two years in Bardstown. Judge Rowan was his ad- visor. The Prince taught in the Cathedral; so when he became the king of France, he remembered the institution by sending these wonderful pictures. Over the sanctuary hangs "The Crucifixion" by Van Bree. This picture was brought from Belgium. Other pictures are: "The Winged St. Mark" and "St. Peter in Chains," by Van Dyck; "The Flaying of St. Bartholomew," by Reubens; "The Crowning of the Blessed Virgin," by Murillo, two supposed to be by Van Dyck, and one whose author is unknown. Our next important stop was at the Lincoln Farm, near Hodgen- ville. Here in a beautiful memorial building is the little log cabin in which Abraham Lincoln was born. The cabin stands on the ex- act spot that it did when Abe's father and mother built it as their place of abode. On the walls of the memorial building are carved many of the most noted sayings of the great President, and also many noted sayings of others concerning him. At the foot of the hill on which it stands still flows unabated the old spring from which the Lincolns drew their water supply. After quenching our thirst at the spring we hastened on to the Mammoth Cave. It was late evening when we passed under the arch which serves as the entrance to Mammoth Cave grounds. No more trips could be taken into the cave that night so we drove three miles farther to the Great Onyx Cave where night trips are taken. Thus we conserved time. The Onyx Cave trip required two hours. Each member of the party carried a lantern. The beautiful stalactite, stalagmite and other formations were indeed beautiful and we felt that the difficulties of reaching the place were justified by the results. We remained that night at the Great Onyx Hotel, and by rising early the next morning we were back at the Mammoth Cave in time to join the first group going in. Coveralls must be worn by all into this cave, for there are damp places and low places and narrow p laces in all of which fine clothing would be inconvenient and would most likely be ruined, Red bandana handkerchiefs seem to be the THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER 9 most popular head-gear. In this cave each two persons are provided with a torch. "Mammoth" is truly the most accurate word to use in describing this great under-ground cavern. Our guide informed us that the cave has been explored for a distance of one hundred and fifty miles. Our trip took us only five or six miles from the entrance. The great halls, the massive pillars, the great domes with their corresponding pits were very interesting; but of all the enjoy- able parts of the cave none pleased us more than the quarter mile boat ride on Echo River three hundred and sixty feet under ground. In this river live the blind fish and blind crayfish that we have heard about since we were children. Because our time was limited we returned at the best speed we could to Louisville, fearing what might be the result if it should rain before we got back to paved roads. Crossing the Ohio again from Louisville to New Albany, we turned eastward and followed the Ohio River to Cincinnati. What a beautiful drive it was! Be- tween Cincinnati and Toledo lay one continuous stretch of paved road. We made excellent time. On Labor Day we reached the city of Marion. For a few minutes we stood in reverence before the tomb of the nation's chief so recently fallen at his post of duty. Two faithful men in khaki paced solemnly back and forth to guard the dead. Eighteen paces to the right and eighteen paces to the left, and at regular intervals a grounding and presentation of arms, was their schedule for the required number of hours each day, rain or shine. The remainder of our trip took us eventfully through many miles of prosperous country. The unanimous decision of all was that we had a splendid trip.

Talk not of temples, there is one Built without hands, to mankind given; Its lamps are the meridian sun And all the stars of heaven, Its walls are the cerulean sky, Its floor the earth, so green and fair, The dome its vast immensity; All Nature worships there! — Veeder. 10 THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER Why I Came Back JAMES RHODES HEN I was a small boy my parents were members of one of the largest churches in the local conference. In that church were about sixty young people. Today, two of the sixty are missionaries, one is an ordinary minister, one is a conference worker, and a few are acquiring a college education with the sole purpose of entering the work. The other fifty were just as capable. Some of them had even more inherent talent than the few, yet today most of them have entered the various avenues of the world and have been lost to God's work. Sad to say, all of those fifty young people have given up the truth, while the few are actively engaged in the salvation of souls. "But what does this have to do," you ask, "with your coming back to Union?" This is my answer. Those who succeeded, without an exception, were the ones who caught the vision of life's possibilities by attending one of our intermediate or advanced educational institutions. Those who lost out, in so far as this truth and God's work is concerned, were the ones who slighted their opportunities for an education in our schools. I am convinced that if a Christian education is good, more is better. This is one reason why I came back to Union. I came back because I believe that what Union has done for others she can do for me. She has given hundreds of young people an aim in life, and then has made it possible for them to reach that aim by giving them a Christian education; and best of all ninety- eight per cent of her children have remained true to her precepts. Of that ninety-eight per cent, the greater number are engaged in active soul-winning work. I returned because Union is a Christian school. I might have attended a better equipped institution nearer home, and with less expense; but I chose Union because I feel that she has something to offer that worldly institutions of learning do not have. There are a few reasons and a thousand excuses why young people do not attend our institutions of learning. Reader, if you are a Christian young man or woman and are not enrolled in a Christian school, be sure that it is a legitimate cause that is keeping you away. Remember that i f the devil can use good work, social attractions, or THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER 11 even such insignificant things as fine clothes, or a second-hand Ford to cheat you out of an education, he will do it. Whether you have been with us before or not, consider seriously why you are not here this year. Be honest with yourself and see if many of those things that you thought were reasons are not merely hollow excuses, and then make a covenant with yourself and with God that you will come to Union. Great possibilities will open to you, and wonderful opportunities will be yours. This institution is one of God's found- ing. God wants you here. We want you here. Will you not come to Union?

<--1OCJI Il .> A Trip Under Ground ROCHELLE PHILMON HEN I was a little girl and studied geography, my chief delight was to look at the pictures and wish I might some day visit the scenes there portrayed. I recall the sense of satisfaction which was mine in after years when I first •saw certain of these places of note. But from childhood there was one I had especially desired to visit. It lies buried in the midst of a primitive forest in Kentucky. It is a marvelously vaulten archway of rock, known as Mammoth Cave. This summer I was so routed to my home in Georgia that I passed through Louisville, Kentucky and Nashville, Tennessee. I stopped about midway between them, in Edmonson County, at Glas- gow Junction, where on a branch line known as the Mammoth Cave Railroad, I saw standing a queer little train, waiting to receive passengers for Mammoth Cave. This train consisted of an odd looking engine, labeled Hercules, and a coach which served both for baggage and for passengers. The distance from the junction to the cave is about nine miles. We stopped over an hour making the trip. We had dinner at the Mammoth Cave Hotel and immediately donned our khaki suits and tied our bandanna ha0erchiefs over our heads, ready for our trip through the cave. We procured tickets at the hotel. These cost two dollars for the first trip, and one dollar for each succeeding trip. There are four trips through the cave, varying in time from four hours to one day. And our guide told us of another one less popular with tourists, which requires three days. 12 THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER The cave is owned by two maiden ladies. It contains one hundred fifty-two miles of surveyed passage ways. There were twenty-eight in our party. We walked across an open space to a building where we each received a lantern, then we proceeded down a shady path to the entrance of the cave. Here we stopped to have a picture taken, which we were assured would be ready for us as we came out of the cave. A strange feeling came over us as we approached the entrance and discovered that the at- mosphere suddenly chilled us. This was due to the out breathing of the cave. The entrance to the cave is just a large opening which gradually slopes downward. Entering this, we descended a long flight of stairs, at the front of which we lighted our lanterns before pro- ceeding through a long wide hallway with two acres of arched ceiling. Our guide assured us that we were in no danger, telling us that he had made the trip from one to three times a day for the past thirty years. Our passage way grew more narrow. The ceiling was lower as we wended our way through what our guide called Grecian Bend. From the fashion in which we were forced to walk we concluded that the place was well named. It was an amusing sight to see the members of our party cautiously passing along, sometimes bumping their heads when they forgot to keep the Grecian bend, and sometimes turning sideways to pass through Fat Man's Misery, which does not easily accommodate one whose body is more than eighteen inches in breadth. The largest man who has ever gone throught this place weighed two hundred sixty pounds. While making this part of the trip I understood why the dejected fat man, whom we left sitting on the porch of the hotel, was not allowed to join our party. Many bruises were rubbed after we passed throught Elbow Crevice, and many weary backs were rested when we emerged from the valley of Humiliation. After about five minutes of this twisting we entered a large room, called the Great Relief. Stalactite formation hung from the ceiling like giant icicles; and in places the stalagmite meets the stalactite in curious fashions, forming such well known attractions as The Chimes, The Pillars of Hercules, Jenny Lind's Arm Chair, and the Picture Frame, which is large enough to accommodate a grown person. A variety of beautiful colors is found in some of these formations particularly in the Marble Temple in Violet City. I procured a few curved crystals and THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER 13 some small specimens of stalactite to bring away with me. New wonders were ever opening before us, such as Cathedral Dome, Bottomless Pit, Audubon Avenue, Bridge of Sighs, Grand Crossing, and Scotchman's Trap. In Bandit's Hall one wonders if he has suddenly entered an old fashioned smoke house, for there he sees limestone hams and shoulders suspended from the ceiling. In some places the overhead is covered with delicate and wonderful formations. One room seemed to have masses of crystal roses on its ceiling. Another had clusters of grapes. The Star Chamber is perhaps the most wonderful room of all, for its vaulted ceiling strongly resembles the star-lit heavens. A very curious and very impressive formation is the Martha Washington Statue. At the Bridal Altar more than one wedding ceremony has been preformed; and in the Mammoth Cave Banquet Hall hundreds of college and university students have reveled. Dozens of slabs and rockpiles, with suitable inscriptions, still do them honor. Our attention was attracted by old pipes which occasionally lay across our path. Our guide informed us that these saltpeter pipes were used during the War of 1812. There are many impressive sensations which one experiences on a trip through the cave. In Booth's Amphitheatre one can almost imagine he hears the swelling tones which resounded there when Edwin Booth recited Hamlet's Soliloquy. As he listens to the great Water Clock he realizes that it has probably ticked out the centuries since the creation of the world. As we stood gazing at the black, silent waters of the Dead Sea and Lake Lethe I almost imagined I could still hear the reverberating notes from the throat of Jenny Lind as she sang on Echo River. The cave consists of five stories or layers. We gradually made our way from one to another until, in the fifth, we crossed the natural bridge over the River Styx. A few minutes later it was a rather solemn group who seated themselves in a large oblong flat- bottomed boat and set afloat on Echo River. Our guide plied the oars, or sometimes acted as steerman by pressing with his hands against the arch of solid rock over our heads, which in some places was so low that we could not comfortably sit upright in the boat. The rising of the river accounts for this occasional inconvenience. The dip of the oars created a gloomy sound on these waters as we realized that we were three hundred feet below the surface of the earth; and that the fish in the river are reported to be blind.

GENERAL ELECTRIC THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER 15 guide gave a few prolonged notes and the free mellow strains, first very close at hand, receded and seemed to wander through those melancholy halls before returning with almost the same volume, only to slip away again and again into the darkness. Just as we completed our boat trip our guide reminded us that we should need to hurry if we reached the hotel in time for the evening train; and suggested that we shorten the return trip, going by way of the famous Corkscrew. First we were invited to drink from a sulphur spring beside our path, then we climbed a perpendicu- lar ladder and with some difficulty made our way through a hole in the ceiling. It was a real task to emerge from a crevice, the ceiling of which did not permit comfortable climbing on a ladder, and at the same time carry a lanten in one hand. One wondered what would happen should he be separated from the rest of the party and his lantern be extinguished. But we finally, one by one, made our way through the hole in the ceiling, only to learn that we were at the entrance of a narrow passageway winding upward. Our guide merely laughed at our groans and sighs as we gasped for breath. But soon we who were in the lead thought it real fun to get up first and sit watching the rest complete the ascent and sink down, begging for a little rest before beginning the famous exit of the Corkscrew. Quickly passing through Purgatory and the Fat Man's Misery we came again into the Main Avenue and caught a gleam of daylight. While in the cave it is easy, for the time being, to forget that there is an outside world above, so rich and so wonderful are the sur- roundings; and one carries away from Mammoth Cave a treasury of sublime memories to enjoy through the remaining years of his life.

LAMB USY as a bee." Have you ever heard such a statement, and did it ever occur to you how much might have been implied concerning one of whom such a remark was made? When we hear the "busy-bee" type held before us in some lecture, as the example to which our lives should be likened, the impression usually prevailes that ninety per cent of our efforts should be activity (flitting about here and there), leaving ten per cent by which to measure results. To tell the truth, such is not the fact with the bee. This might be as- cribed to a hornet or a wasp, which either assembles a little ball of wax or a bunch of mud off in some secluded place; but bees in general bring activity and results down to the place of consistent balance. Then again, there are those who, when bees are mentioned, at once think of that precious liquid encased in thousands of small six-sided cells in the superhoney-comb, or perhaps the unpleasant compliment paid them as a visitor by a vigorous sting on the back of the neck or on the cheek up close to the eye. All these ideas must come and go to the student of nature or one who has learned to love these little creatures and to appreciate the vastness of their annual undertakings. Every year in the United States bees produce seventy-five million dollars' worth of honey. That amount could be transported only by a train two hundred miles long, each car containing forty thousand pounds. This tremendous quantity is produced partly by the man who gives only casual notice to the business and has one to six colonies in the back yard and partly by those who tend from six to ten thousand colonies and calculate their output in car loads. A census of the bee industry would be interesting as well as astounding when we consider that it is the life work of over five thousand bees to gather one pound of honey. Let us turn and note in rather a hasty manner the masterly organization that exists within the separate colony, an organization which makes this enormous production possible. Nature has decreed that in every separate swarm of bees there shall be one queen, and and only one. The application is simple, for "no man can serve two masters." No colony of bees containing from fifteen to fifty thous- and can obey two queens and work in harmony, because the queen THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER 17 is the mistress of all authority in the hive, and two authorities for the same responsibility rarely is successful anywhere, much less permanent in a beehive. The queen bee is to her family what a queen or sovereign is to an empire; and if by chance two queens are participating in the same duties in the hive, a battle for life begins between them and continues until one receives the fatal sting, leaving the other to reign supreme. This is an inevitable outcome, and often the worker bees are also warring with one another until the condition is righted. As in many fields of nature or science, all the mysterious wisdom of the bee has not yet been fathomed. Aside from the general direction of all activity in and outside the colony, as is as- sumed, a queen may lay from five hundred to three thousand eggs a day, and keep it up all during the busy season. The life period of a worker bee is very short, and because of this the continuous repro- duction of young is necessary in order to replace those that fail to return day by day from the woods and fields where of course the honey nectar is gathered. By this method we may understand how the colony is kept up to full strength. In the raising of bees a single egg is deposited in each cell used for this purpose, and is there nursed and cared for during its stages of development. When it has grown to almost fill the cell in its pupa state, the cell is capped over until the bee itself is mature and gnaws away the wax capping and comes forth a perfect bee. This process requires only about twenty-one days, a result no scientist could achieve by himself in a thousand years. When the bee is between three and eight days old it is put to work making wax, nurs- ing younger bees, or set as a guard at the entrance. Did you ever observe bees guarding the entrance of their home? The fact is that there are pioneer or experienced guards always on duty with the younger bees, and any little extra demonstration around the entrance will find them instant in season to expel flies, moths, beetles, grasshoppers or trancient bees that by chance may light on the wrong veranda. Bees identify their kin and strangers by the sense of smell; and any bee entering the hive must pass inspection by this test at some place along the line before it gets into the hive proper. Thus it seems that everything in and around the bee colony is carried forward according to prescribed regulations. These are facts characteristic of bee life; east, west, north, or south. Eventually the younger bees take their proper responsibilities in 18 THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER getting the season's crop. Preceding this, however, you may notice them on the lighting board with their bodies extended and using their wings. Also, you may observe them flying up and down in front of the hive for hours at a time. This is the preparatory period of actually getting ready for their life work before flying great dis- tances with honey and pollen from many fields. It is perhaps during the time that the bee spends away from its home that it gives man the greatest benefit. One of the great needs and requirements in the raising of certain crops is a proper polleni- zation. Without this crops may be poor, and some seed crops especially may be somewhat infertile. The bee aids in this necessary function, as it passes from blossom to blossom in search of nectar and material for wax. Bee raising has reached the scientific stage of its development. where individual types are produced which usually have long proboscides or tongues for the specific purpose of securing a more thorough polonization, thereby assisting in an important in- dustrial problem. . Coupled with this, of course, are good honey gathering qualities, equally important to the honey producer. To the bee, then, can be attributed a praiseworthy service, for it gives to mankind a more bounteous crop and better fruit to the grower. How much like life—like the experience of young men and women everywhere—is that typified in the simple, humble vocation of the bee! As it enters and passes every stage of life, dangers may be on every hand, yet it is of itself interested and devoted seemingly to one great plan: "To do good." As it enters God's great space of blue, it does not fly on wings of ease and entire safety, because every form of life has its foes. There, near the gate, by the rambling rose, sits the stately kingbird. Out in the woods where the timber vines blossom, are great spider webs, How cautiously must a bee proceed to fulfill its mission day after day, often coming in at dawn with its treasure, rather than chance the way by night. Do we have experiences which are at all similiar to these dangers in the life of the bee? Did you ever observe a kingbird or spider watching a bee that had chanced to come too close? How often it is with us that our enemy, the adversary, stands about watching for our side-step, our getting out of place of positive con- trol, that he may grab us up wholly or entangle us in his net from which there are few chances of escape! Then, too, how often we may sense the wisdom in laying down our burden over night in just the right spot, that we may know the proper direction to THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER 19 travel when the night of discouragement, uncertainty or trial is past, and the light rays from the Son of Righteousness show us our mission anew! We must be alert and devoted to our individual tasks; not as a busybody, but intelligently, hopefully, cheerfully, "busy as a bee." Whether all realize it or not, the good of all this world is for us to gather. Shall we have part in it, or will we leave it for the beasts and birds? In the many lessons that may be drawn from the vast creation and correlated to life, let us not forget the Creator of all these things, and His wisdom, mercy, and goodness it behalf of humanity. As we think of this simple little creature, and its work so marvelous, how can we fail to realize its far reaching contribution, through God's providence, diiectly and indirectly, in feeding, clothing and housing the world of which we are a part.

Resolutions of a Freshman ROGER A. CURTIS EW YEARS has came to mean, besides the beginning of a new year, a time to look over our list of habits, in order to revise them; resolving to stop this or that particular trait—a trait which we may have been thinking for some Irt31 time of stopping—and begin one that we think will better I fill the place and be more in accord with the individual standard which we have set for ourselves. New Year's resolutions are fine, but why should a student who is beginning school wait until half of the year is gone before making his resolutions ? January 1 may not find him in school if he waits too long to make revision. The year, as a student reckons, really begins when he enters school in the Fall. A more opportune time to make resolutions is hard to find. For resolutions pretaining to and woven into school life to be a success it is necessary for one to stay in school the entire year. A resolution, then, to that effect is the basis for all others, a list of which may be as follows: 1. Resolved: To conduct myself in such a way as to be num- bered among the students when school closes. 2. Resolved: As an individual, to hold up the principles and aims of the college' as a whole, as a part which must run smoothly or mar the rhythm of school life. 3. Resolved: That in all my dealings with teachers and students the golden rule shall be my guide. 4. Resolved: To be a gentleman, in the routine of everyday school life, no matter with whom I am dealing. A true gentleman is no respector of persons. 5. Resolved: To make the three fundamentals of dormitory life—cleanliness, courtesy, and quietness—a part of my very being, by constant observance. 6. Resolved: To be ready to do my part when called upon. Talents are not always distributed equally, as we all know, but I shall do, to the best of my ability, the thing which I am asked to do. 7. Resolved: To study my assignments daily and faithfull, and thus get the most out of each lesson. This is the paramount THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER 21

THE popular conception of Fall Clothes is that they are high priced. Some clothes are high priced, but the man who wants Fall Clothes that will give him Service and Satisfaction will find a wonderful assortment to choose from Here.

Resolved: Not to neglect the great things that make the distinction between our schools and the schools of the world,—the study of God's Word in its different phases—and to rightly apply the lessons learned. 9. Resolved: To be loyal to the institution of which I am a part. One seldom goes about picking flaws and finding fault with his own family, so why should we do this with our school family ? 10. Resolved: To make the very most of this year of school, toward the full development of the man I hope to be, by the development of my spiritual, mental, and physical faculties. 11. Resolved: To be found ready for business at "Old Union" again next year. C=1=1 ova Yellowstone National Park BERNICE WALSH HY hello Joan! When did you get home? I suppose you have had a wonderful time." "I most certainly have. Oh Juddy, you have no idea of the scenic wonders our own country affords us. The Park was simply wonderful." "Come, do tell me all about it." "Well, I don't know what to tell you first so I guess I'll just tell you of the Park. We left Cody, Wyoming, about nine o'clock in the morning. Really I do believe the drive up the Shoshone Canon is one of the greatest scenic wonders of the Rocky Mountains. We reached the east entrance to the park in the middle of the afternoon. A few miles beyond the ranger's station we began that remarkable climb up the Silvan Pass. As we went through Silvan Loop, a spiral bridge, we saw several patches of snow. Later when we were on our way to Mount Washburn we got into the snow and had a regular snowball fight. Such pines as grow there, great towering things that stretch upward as if reaching for the sky! As we wound our way up the side of the mountain we could catch an occasional glimpse of a rushing mountain stream at the bottom of the canon. "After leaving the pass we came to two lakes. Here, high up THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER 23 in the mountains these beautiful little lakes are tucked away in the most unexpected places. The prettiest of these was Silvan Lake. It is very clear and the reflection of the pines gives it a green color. On we went until we came to the great Yellowstone Lake. Far across it tower the majestic Leton Mountains. Do you know, when we were about a mile away from the lake we thought it was an immense cloud filling a deep, wide canon which extended between us and the Letons? Really it looked like a great angry cloud rolling, tumbling, ever restless. Finally someone cried, "Its the lake." "We saw several deer and a porcupine before we reached Lake Camp where we stayed for the night. Oh, but it was cold every night we stayed at Old Faithful Camp. It froze a quarter of an inch of ice. It was August, too. The next morning we set out for Yellowstone Falls and its "grand canon." Before we reached it we came to the Mud Geysers. They are immense muddy pools, boiling, boiling, ever boiling. The steam rises in dense clouds. A sulphur- ous odor is emitted by these geysers. From here we went on to the canon. Our first view of the falls and canon was from Artist's Point. Words are altogether too inadequate to portray its beauties. From the Point we looked up the canon to the falls. The falls and the rushing torrent at the bottom of that colorful canon are like a silver thread twining about a rainbow. Fcr, certainly, all the varying colors of the rainbow are displayed in the walls of that canon. Oh the majesty of it! The wonder of it! Tongue can never hope to portray its beauties. The colors! Reds, pinks, yellow, gold, golden browns, oranges, and blue are all blended together in perfect harmony. Retracing our path for a mile and a half we came to the falls. After climbing down to the foot of the falls we were rewarded by the sight of two beautiful rainbows which completely spanned the river. "Going on we passed the canon hotel, a mammoth structure wholly in keeping with the natural beauties of the park. On we went until we came to Tower Falls. On each side and filling the canon above the falls were great solid stone towers. They reminded me of the towers on the old castle walls of which we read. "Later in the day as we were journeying toward Mammoth Hot Springs we saw a doe and two fawns. They bounded across the road in front of us, and on up the mountain side into the timber. "We spent several days at Mammoth Hot Springs. To me the 24 THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER most interesting feature of this place is the springs. They are hot, yet not all of them are. Side by side, not farther apart than the span of my hand, I found two springs, one hot and one cold. The hot water has a sediment in it which has caused great terraces to be built up. Over the edge of these terraces flows the hot water. They are beautifully colored, deep oranges, golds, yellows and light browns, besides pinks, white, and blue. The water is a deep blue and very clear. One can see from forty to fifty feet down into the water. The bottoms of most of the pools are covered with a beautiful soft sediment. "On the way to the Geyser Basin we went through the Hoodoos and the Silver Gate. Such a strange sight confronted us as we rounded a bend in the road! Great, gray rocks have been thrown into the strangest positions. Really, we were too astonished for words. We spent some time at the lesser basin, but after a few hours hurried on to the lower basin where the more important geysers are found. Old Faithful is the most regular of all. It plays every hour, never varying more than ten minutes in a year. Just think of it, every hour it throws three hundred barrels of water one hundred-fifty feet high. In the sunlight every drop sparkles like a jewel. Looking at it against the sun it looks like a great rainbow. At night a large searchlight placed on the top of the Old Faithful Inn, is turned on the geyser when it plays. Then there are other noted geysers such as the Grotto, the Giant, the Grand, the Castle, and the Beehive. These play at irregular intervals. Some go as high as two hundred fifty feet. Then, too, there are innumerable hot pools. There is one called Morning Glory Pool. It is shaped like an immense morning glory. At its edges it is a shell pink, shad- ing off to a light blue and becoming deeper blue as you look toward the bottom. Then there is the Punch Bowl with its marvelously colored rim. Fire Hole Lake affords a wonderful sight. If you see it when the sun is shining the reflection of the colors in the steam which rises from it gives the appearance of a praire fire. "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you of the Mammoth Paint Pots. They are boiling pots of mud. The most prominent colors are shell pink, gray, white and a pale blue. Each pot builds up a cone about itself. When this cone gets quite high the boiling stops there and starts somewhere else. "And the bears—they are real fiends for bacon arid sweet things. Almost everyone feeds them. They will harm no one unless one THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER 25 teases them. When one feeds them they stand upon their haunches. While I was feeding one it put both its paws on my chest. Needless to say a rather queer feeling crept over me. When he had eaten all that I had to give him he left me and went to someone else. On our way to the Knotted Woods and the Natural Bridge a big bear and her cub met us in the road and begged for something to eat. She was teaching her cub to do the same thing. Evidently the cub did something the mother bear disaproved of, for she gave him such a cuff that he rolled over and over. Then, not content with that she followed him up to give him another. Evidently the cub was used to such experiences, for he took to climbing a tree. The mother climed too. When she got within reach she would give him a cuff. Whimpering and whining he finally got out on a branch too weak for mother bear to trust herself upon. There he stayed until she was back on the ground and had become interested in the choice bits of food the people were offering her. "Well, Juddy, I did not intend to tell you of my trip just yet. But I did come over to see if you would not go down town with me. You see I want to take the films down." "Certainly, I'll go. I shall be eager to see the pictures."

TUCKER PECULIAR feeling is usually experienced by a traveler when, for the first, he walks across the gang plank onto a ship about to embark for a voyage on the ocean. At least I had a strange sensation when I started out on my trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles on the steamer "Yale," a fast boat which makes the run of nearly five hundred miles in eighteen hours. After taking my luggage to the stateroom and meeting the person who was to be my companion, for two must occupy one room, I began investigating my new environment. My companion and I then went out on the deck of the ship and there we saw many interesting things. To the right of the ship lay several large battle ships, which floated low in the water. This array of gun boats was in line for review by the late President Harding. Small boats were hurrying about between the large boats, and unloading their freight. We saw great freighters pass by. Tow boats, barges, and various others were moving about in the bay. Ferry boats run from San Francisco to Oakland regularly. Great ships from all over the world were in the piers, being loaded with freight. Train load after train load of supplies was being loaded onto these large vessels, and yet one could scarcely see where it was placed. At four o'clock the whistle blew and our boat moved slowly out of port. Soon we passed Goat Island and started directly for the Golden Gate. As soon as we passed through the Gate the waves grew larger, and the wind began blowing quite a gale from the west. Great waves rolled against the ship and a continual spray of water was thrown even upon the top deck. This steady rise and fall of the boat is pleasant to many, but causes others to become quite ill. Several nurses were soon seen hurrying about, taking care of the sick. After passing through Golden Gate, we saw to the left a large boat wrecked on the rocks. When we learned that it had been there for some time, our hearts beat more normally. We also learned that it had been wrecked in a terrible storm. After lunch, about six o'clock, we began to watch the sun set, THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER 27 It is a beautiful sight to see the sun sink behind the rolling waves of the western sea. As night drew on, a few of the passengers went to their staterooms, while others repaired to the reading room. Some attended a radio concert which was given every night on the ship. About ten o'clock we retired and enjoyed a good night's rest. When morning came my traveling companion and I went out on deck to watch the flying-fish, of which we had been told the evening before. At first we did not see any, so decided that next time we would not listen to anyone's idle yarns. All of a sudden one jumped out of the water and flew several hundred feet without raising its blue body more than two or three feet from the surface of the water. The morning passed all too quickly. About eleven o'clock we come into the harbor near Los Angeles. The band played a lively tune while we passed off the ship to take the electric cars into the city about twenty miles distant. As we parted we each decided that we had had a most pleasant time on our first trip by water.

Union's Sabbath School N Sabbath, September 18, the college Sabbath school was reopened in the chapel. To those who had been here last year it seemed in some respects almost like a new Sab- bath school, for so many familiar faces were missing. But there were new ones to fill the vacancy, and every one of the one hundred sixty-five members entered heartily "nto every part of the program. One of the most interesting things that we listened to on this opening Sabbath, was the report which summarized the work done during the second semester of our last school year. The goal which had been placed at one thousand dollars was reached and passed. The Home Department, an entirely new thing in our Sabbath school, was a real success. The members of this department were former Union College students who were scattered throughout the state and did not have the privilege of attending any Sabbath school regularly. These members helped us to reach the goal by sending in offerings to the amount of sixty-five dollars. Each Sabbath found several of the classes with an average of one hundred per cent, having reached their goal in perfect attendance, daily lesson study and offerings. Fifty-four double-seal cards were issued at the close of the first quarter. These items were especially interesting at the reopening of. the Sabbath school because they set before us a standard to which to bend our efforts, and every student felt the challer ge to do his part to help make the Sabbath school a success this year. The following officers were chosen to hold office until January 1: superintendent, Professor D. G. Hilts; assistant superintendents, James Rhodes and Gladys Riechel; secretary, Elizabeth Madden; assistant secretary, Elmer Pingeno. The orchestra is under the direction of Professor Engel, and we know from past experiences that the music will be of the best. A general goal of five hundred dollars THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER 29 has been set and each of the twenty-five classes has an indivival goal. The Home Department has been reorganized, and as a large number of the former students are teaching throughout the state this department will prove as important a feature as it did last year. To increase the interest in the Sabbath school special programs were given in each dormitory at the usual worship hour on the evening of September 26. Several of the young men conducted the ex- ercises in North Hall, and some of the young ladies did the same in South Hall. Perfect attendance and daily lesson study were the points that were emphasized most. A good natured rivalry has grown up as to which Hall will be represented best in attendance at Sabbath school each week. With the good leaders that have been chosen, with every student attending regularly and studying his lesson faithfully, and with every Home Department member loyal to Old Union, our Sabbath school this year is sure to be a success and blessing to every one connected with it.

Baker---Ragsdale A PRETTY church wedding took place at four-thirty o'clock on Monday, Aug. 13, 1923, at Crawford, Nebr., when Hazel Joyce Baker, daughter of Mrs. S. R. Morey, of Crawford, was united in marriage to Alva M. Ragsdale, in the presence of a number of relatives and friends. Elder G. T. Glendrange performed the ceremony. Miss Lois Morey was bridesmaid and Mr. Otho Kirk was groomsman. At six o'clock, at the home of Mrs. Morey, the bridal party and relatives were served the wedding dinner. The following day Mr. and Mrs. Ragsdale left for a tour through the Colorado Rockies, after which they will spend the winter at Goldsbury, Mo., in charge of the intermediate school. Mr. and Mrs. Ragsdale are both former Union students. The MESSENGER joins their many friends in extending best wishes.

C=:=1 = =IC) Burns---Patt9 THE marriage of Miss Verla Juanita Burns to Willard J. Patty took place August 30, at eight o, clock, at the home of the bride's father, E. N. Burns, College View, Nebr. The ceremony was performed on the front porch, which was decorated with palms, ferns, sunflowers and asparagus ferns. Miss Estelle Kiehnhoff sang, "I Love You Truly," by Bond; and "Be- cause," by D. Hardelot. The bridal party took their places to the .strains of the Lohengrin wedding march, played by Miss Wanda Muck. The bride was attended by Mrs. Walter B. Anderson. Miss Burns wore a gray georgette dress and carried a bouquet of bride's roses and lilies of the valley. During the ceremony, which was performed by Elder J. N. Anderson, Mr. Carl C. Engel played very THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER 31 softly on the violin. Immediately following the ceremony, Miss Kiehnhoff sang, "Beloved It is Morn." An informal reception was held, and an orchestra furnished music while refreshments were served.

Svanson---Ro9 A VERY pretty wedding was solemnized in the South Denver Seventh-day Adventist church on Monday evening, September 10, at 7:00 o'clock, when Iona Elvera Swanson became the bride of Rufus John Roy. The bride was attended by the Misses Margaret Clover and Elystia Eitel, and the groom by Milford and Paul Swanson. The bridal party marched to the strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding March, played by Miss Ruth Johns. The ribbon bearers, Ella and Anna Swanson, sang, "I Love You Truly." Both Mr. and Mrs. Roy are graduates with the class of '23. They will reside in Springfield, Mo., where Mr. Roy is pastor of the Adventist church.

THE FIRST TIME that we got direct result from our ad in the MESSENGER was when we I took the advertising manager's advice and told about our suit cases and trunks. We sold two. He (Cecil Randolph) was a little in doubt this time what to suggest, as most of the summer students had gone and I none of the fall students had come; but he thought that possibly some of the boys would forget their razors, strops, or soap and that if we would remind YOU that we carried most all makes of blades and the best dollar razor made, that we would be doing both of us a favor by mentioning the fact. He must not be thinking about the girls that are coming for I know that they always want a little paint and curtain rods to fix the room up "homey." Now girls, we sell these too.
