Citizens Express Sentiment in
Last Farewell

PROFESSOR WM. I. MOREY

PROFESSOR MOREY
TENDERS RESIGNATION
Will Connect With Berrien Springs as
Music Director of WEMC Broadcasting Station

Several of the citizens of College
V i e w accompanied Mr. and Mrs.
Roger Altman and son Peter to the
train, Thursday, June 23, where they
began their long journey to Singapore, Straits Settlements, by way of
Colorado Springs, and
Vancouver,
British Columbia.
Tuesday evening, June 21, a farewell party was given in their honor
in the college chapel where they were
presented with a jewel case containing $55 in gold. The tenor of the
speeches and the readings given at
this gathering were highly complimentary to Mr. and Mrs. Altman; and
an old gentleman seemed to express
the avowed sentiments of everyone
when he said, " I tell you we're going
to miss Brother and Sister Altman in
College View."
The last day Mr. Altman officiated
as editor of the Christian Record, the
employees of that concern gave a
farewell party f o r him and his family
with plenty of " o l d fashioned edibles."
The Altmans plan to sail f r o m Vancouver on the "Empress Russia" Juiy
21. Mr. Altman is to assume the editorship of the Malaysian "Signs of the
T i m e s " upon his arrival at Singapore
and he declared he would certainly
put the $100 donated by the Clock
T o w e r to that paper to the best possible use.

Professor W. I. Morey very recently
resigned f r o m his position as director
of the music department of Union
College, to become vocal instructor
and music director of the WEMC
broadcasting station at Emmanuel
Missionary College, Berrien Springs,
Mich.
Professor Morey, who has been at
Union College f o r the past year only,
came here f r o m Chicago, where, during the time in which he did postgraduate work, and a f t e r he received
his master's degree in music, he directed several choral organizations

we must now return home. W e only
lack a f e w months until furlough
time, and we are very sorry to leave
at this time.
W e are leaving Bombay on May 25.
There will be about twenty missionaries and children leaving on the
same boat f r o m Bombay.
Among
these are Mr. and Mrs. Arthur E.
Nelson with their three children, and
Mrs. Olson and I with f o u r children.
W e hope to stop at Alexandria and
Cairo to have a glimpse of the old
pyramids. W e then plan to stop a
f e w hours at Athens to see the Parthenon as well as the battle fields
of Marathon and Thermopylae.
We
will then go on to Gland, Switzerland, where my brother lives. While
Mrs. Olson and the children stop
there, I hope to see some of the historical places in Italy, Switzerland,
France, and Germany. According to
our present plans we will leave England on the "Leviathan" July 12, and
hope to reach New York on the 18th.
Looking f o r w a r d to the next copy
of the Clock T o w e r and wishing the
students of Union College much of
the blessings of the Lord in their
preparation f o r service, I am very
sincerely, A. J. Olson.
Dear Friends of Union:
By the time this word is published

My co-operative work (every other

Nothing is so refreshing these blistering hot days as j u m p i n g into a

Dear Friends:
Speaking of the weather, humans

are
changeable
creatures.
Everyone
is quite
avowed
since
hot weather came on f u l l f o r c e that
he much prefers winter. In the winter time the only real common topic
of conversation is the cold weather
and its uncomfortableness, and everyone says with a sigh, "I'll be so glad
when it warms up."
It is true that one doesn't hear so
much against spring, and yet while
enjoying it, everyone looks forward to
the summer and its fresh fruits.
Of course, this is only a matter of
weather and l i f e is made up of so
many other things that one feels that
the weather hasn't much room. But
consider, what would mankind have
to talk about if the weather didn't
throw itself into the conversation?
Anyway man is the oddest creature
made. He wants what he wants when
he wants it and when he gets what
he wants he doesn't want it.

I received the Union College catalogue yesterday and it made me almost homesick f o r Union—especially
so when I know I won't be back next
year. I ' m singing its praises whereever I go, however, and I hope many
new students may be able to go.
I'm spending the first part of my
vacation in the canvassing field. I'm
enjoying my work and I believe I've
been able to do some g o o d in the
homes I have visited. Last week I
met a young woman who doesn't believe in the Bible at all. She said she
took a f u l l course in evolution in
college and she could see that the
Bible was absolutely wrong. She inf e r r e d that if I had any education I'd
be able to see that, too. I told her
that I studied both Bible and science
in college last year and that I was
more than ever convinced that the
Bible was true. Then she looked at
me in a pitying way as if to say that
she thought I surely must have gone
to a queer college if I got that there.
I'm glad that we have a college in
old Union where we can learn to appreciate the Bible more.

The natural man discerneth not
the things of the Spirit of Uod; the
semi-spiritual man even does not see
how these things can be. But let us
believe Christ, that by the Spirit and
the word in the heart of the believer
a glorious manifestation of Uod in
Christ is made to him, such as elevates him in privilege immeasurably
above the prophets of f o r m e r days,
and above the disciples who saw our
Lord in the ilesh.

busy life he had been faithful in
keeping his parents informed about
his affairs each week, although his
letters had been only notes.
"I've been a thinkin' that myself,
Pa. The lad's been gone now nigh on
four years and none of us have ever
been there to see the school.
You
could go, Pa, and the boys could keep
things agoin' here on the farm."
"Fine, Ma; you've cleaned my suit
haven't you? It's pretty old lookin'

reckon Thanny'll be so glad to see
me he won't even notice it. Lucky I
bought that new rubber collar. I'll
wear my old one on the train and
put the new one on just before I get
there."
They spent the evening in planning.
It was decided that Pa should leave
Thursday in order that he might
spend the week-end at the college.
Of course, "Thanny" would want his
"Dad" to meet all his friends, and
Sabbath and Sunday would give him
the opportunity.
Thursday came.
Noon found the
family down at the station and " P a "
seated in the train.
He waved an
adieu to the family and the train
sped on.

"Won't Thanny be surprised," he
mused as the landscape streaked by,
seen, yet unseen. The shadows lengthened; night came, l a rolled his overcoat into a ball, stuck it under his
head, and curled up in the seat for
the night.
All night he was half
conscious of the noise about him, f o r
Pa was not accustomed to the discomforts of a chair car.
However,
asleep or awake, paramount in his
mind were thoughts—visions of the
joyful surprise of Thanny, his eldest
boy, his "standby" of the old days.
Morning came and noon came and
went. At four in the afternoon the
train was due to arrive at Evansville.
In due time Pa changed his collar, put
the finishing touches to his attire,
and seated himself again, awaiting
the announcement of Evansville.
The minutes were hours. In spite
of this, the time came when the conductor sjiouted, "Evansville,
next
station!"
Since the college buildings were the
only large buildings in the little suburb, Mr. Brown was not long in locating them. As he passed through
the archways of green he recognized
places which he had seen on pictures
Thanny had sent home. He spied the
gardener. Setting his suit case down
he walked across the lawn to where
he was digging a f e w scattered dandelions.
"Could you tell me where Nathaniel
Brown's room is?"
The gardener pointed to the buildings to the right.
"Thanks." Nathaniel's father was
off, his pulse pounding as he thought
of the grand surprise. With very little difficulty Mr. Brown found room
312 but "Thanny" was out.
"Oh, Nat just went down town with
a gang of the boys. They were playing some sort of game, and he won
the treats. He'll be back soon; just

the preceptor announced that since
it was Mother's Day, the worship period would be devoted to a program
appropriate to the occasion.

A little later laughing and talking
could be heard in the hall. Nat opened
the door. "Come on it, fellers—" he
said, stopping abruptly, and turning
to the boys behind him,—"Er, er, I'll
see you a little later, boys, I have a
visitor," and he closed the door.

One after another the numbers
were given. Finally, after due respects had been paid to the absent
mothers of the boys present, Frank
Collins was announced as the last
speaker.

Vox Populi
Q. Why do Seventh-day Adventists
maintain a denominational
school
system?
A. First, true education is based on
the gospel, and is designed to develop
the whole man. This the education
given by the public schools fails to
do, and verv o f t e n this proves an absolute hindrance to spiritual growth.
So, f o r our own preservation, as a
religious body, having beliefs peculiar
to ourselves, we provide our own educational system.
Second, we believe that the special
work of this denomination is the
preaching of the complete gospel t o
all the world, and in order to perform such a mission we must have
suitably prepared workers, which in
the very nature of things, the public
schools cannot furnish.
Schools of
the world, properly so, have a different objective.

Students Find Amusement for Idle Hours

The mule, the most despised of
beasts
Has a persistent way
Of letting folks know he's around
By Ins insistent bray.
The busy little bees they buzz,
Bulls bellow and cows moo,
The watchdogs bark, the ganders
quack,
And doves and pigeons coo.
The peacock spreads his tail and
squawks,
Pigs squeal, and robbins sing,
And even serpents know enough
To hiss before they sting.
But man, the greatest masterpiece
That nature coidd devise,
Will often stop and hesitate
Before he'll advertise.
