Women Employees Decrease
in Number on Railroads

The women's service section of the
division of labor of the United States
railroad administration was created
by the director general in Septem-
ber, 1918. Miss Pauline Goldman
was appointed manager. The num-
ber of women employees had increas-
ed from 61,163 on January /, to
1O1.7S7 on October 1, 1918. Since
ii first began it's work. the womens s
service section has been constantly
advising with officials and suggest
ing methods of meeting the needs
of the women employees more fully.
AS was to be expected, the return
of the men from military service
who had had their positions kept
for them, and the general increase
in the labor force early this year,
resulted in a considerable decrease
on July /. 1919, the number had
fallen to S2.294. The decrease was
less in the clerical positions.
The present status of women in
the service was the subject of much
interest in the recent conference in
Chicago held by the staff of the wom-
ems service section and the super
visors of women employees. These
meetings were attended by Is repre-
sentatives of different railroads from
all parts of the country. The broad
er aspects of woman's place in the
railroad world We're discussed and
attention was called to the need, as
revealed by the U. S. r. A. statistics,
of having women employees develop
high standards of efficiency if they
are to be retained in their positions.

siderable wealth. This may be
seen in the improvement of their
homes, their farms and business
establishments, and in many ca
ses, the luxuries. The only quest
ion is, r we willing to give a
reasonable amount of the pro-
ceeds to a Christian institution
that will not be below the stand
ard of our private homes and
business? A boy was asked why
he did not go with his parents
to church. His reply was: "The
church is the cheapest thing that
my father has interest in, so [
don't care to CO." Surely, we
are not going to give our chill
dren the impression that the
church and school are things of
less Importance than our private
property or anything else. Con
slider some of the things that we
are spending money for, in most
cases without hesitation.
Think of the enormous sums
our people have donated in the
past few years to the winning
of the war against the enemy of
our country, and that with a spi-
rit Of enthusiasm and self denial.
Is the wal against our arch enc
my vital? Remember that our
school is the center of training
for Christian soldiers.
And think of the money peo-
pie pay the hospital, the surgeon
and the drug store for the care
of the body. If we were asked:
"What do you consider the fl
nancial value of your eye, ear,
or your mind, etc." we would
deem the question ridiculous, be-
cause these can not be valued III
money. Is an institution for the
conservation and development of
the spiritual man not priceless?
A man does not hesitate to give
thousands Of dollars for an ope-
ration that may prolong the life
of his child a few months. What
is it worth to us to have the
life of our church prolonged for
a generation more, until we shall
be able profitably to transplant
in a large organization the herit-
age we have received from our
fathers? And even then our
school would not be superfluous.

metery beside a church some

full members of our various con
gregations. OF course, all this is
not the result Of one mans la
Dor. A considerable number of
men and women have spent their
best years here, instructing our
youth and moulding their charac-
ter. Indeed one brother, the late
j. p. Jensen, laid down his life,
working himself to death, for
the cause of this school. Today
we would remind Professor @.
X. Hansen of the blessings that
have come to lis through Dana
College and Trinity of which he
has been a faithful worker for
twenty-five years.
Yet, | know that neither Pro
lessor Hansen, nor any OF his
past or present co-workers, nor
the old faithful pillars of the
church would be content to look
back and feel at ease because Of
the good service our school has
rendered in the past. Through
out our whole synod there is a
looking forward to a new and
greater school that will meet the
requirements Of the times. And
there is a feeling of assurance
that such a school we are going
to have. The thought that is rath-
err worrying some of the older
people is, whether the project
will be carried through in their
lifetime, or, because of our dis
obedience, our hesitation and 9th
err sins they shall be given only
a vision Of the promised land,
as Moses on Mount Nebo. We will
turn our thoughts for a moment

given at Dana College
and Trinity Seminary, Blair,
Nebr., Nov. 9th, 1919, in
commemoration of Prof.
Chris X. Hansen's Both
birthday and his 25th
anniversary as in
structor at this
institution
BY Rev James {. Peterson,
Fremont, Nebr.

In looking over the annals Of
our synod from the time of its
organization it appears that we
have failed to show our hearty
appreciation and recognition Of
the service rendered by the va
rious leaders Of our church, and
especially those who have been
at the head of our school. We
may, therefore, consider this jul
bilee or celebration as a step of
progress. For, while we must
thank God as the author and gi-
yer of all good things, certain
y, it is proper to render thanks
also unto men who are employed
in His service.
On this occasion | wish first
to speak a word of tribute to
Professor Chris X. Hansen. How
ever, much speaking, here, would
seem to be superfluous because
twenty-five years of service
speaks more than words.
We would not assert that his
service has been without mis-
takes, and the last n to make
such IA claim would be Profess
sor Hansen, himself. But | know
that those who can speak from
personal knowledge of this man
will say that his twenty-five
years as professor at our school
have been marked with faith
fulness. He has declined better
offers" from other institutions
and remained with our own
school because his heart was
there. And we all know that Pro
fessor Hansen has never gone
on a strike for an eight hour
day. Nor has any student ever
had reason to complain that Han
sen did not take an interest IN
him.
Nor have the twenty-five years
OF labor been without results.
From this institution, with a
very few exceptions, have our
congregations throughout the
whole land been supplied with
pastors. From this institution
came our home-missionaries, our
missionaries to Japan, Austria
lila. Africa, our missionaries to
the Mormons in Utah and Ida
no, with one exception, also our
missionaries and teachers among
the Indians in Oklahoma. And
here have been nurtured the
teachers Of our religious paro-
chial schools as we'll as a large
number of alumni who are faith.

A Greater School.

As a guide 10 clear thinking
and discussion of this important
subject we should consider these
two questions Is there any need
of such a school? And, what car
we do to obtain it?
/. Is there any need of the
proposed greater school? d
firmly believe that a good schoo.
with college and seminary cour-
ses isnescesary for the mainten.
ance of our own church. With
out a constant supply of mini
sters our local congregations
would not be able to exist. Who
can conceive of a church with
out a pastor, or a mission with
out a missionary, that is, contin-
ually2 What would the prote-
slant church have been without
Luther, Calvin, etc, unless GOD
had called like men Ill Their
stead? What religion would there
have been in Africa, had the
Lord not sent Robert Moffat.
David Livingstone and others
What would have been the state
of the European churches and
those of America, had not the mi
nisters been there as the men OF
God to proclaim the Gospel to
the people, "How shall they be
lieve in him Of whom they have
not heard, and how shall they
hear without a preacher?' Rom.
10. AZ. To this we may rightly
add how can a man be a preach
Ell without training, without edu-
cation? 1t is true that there have
been great preachers with very
little schooling. 1t is also true
that some have become "puffed
up in school and ruined fol-
the ministry. Yet God, Himself
has given us the rule that the
man of God must be thoroughly
furnished unto all good works.
We believe it also to be OF great
importance that a man receive
most of his training IN the en-
vironment of the class of people
whom he is to serve as pastor
in order that he may understand
their special needs and find tA'
way to their hearts. Hence the
urgent necessity of maintaining
our own school. 1t is also neces
sarv that we educate as many
as possible of our young people
for various branches of service
outside of the ministry. Even {
year or two at our own eolleg'
should make a Christian man Of
woman much more useful IN any
congregation.
q However, it is not alone To-
the maintenance Of our owl
church, as it now exists that w
give our youth a Christian edu
cation. To ask whether we nee'
a Christian institution for tn
training of our young men ant
women, is the same as to ask
has our church anything tina

the world needs?

answer HlOSJ ueclQedly, yes. Ine
world in its present condition
Is IN need of something besides
human laws, human power and
human influence to make and
keep society pure. There are ter.
rible, wild, beastly forces turned
loose in the world today, threate-
ming to destroy home, holy matri-
mony and peaceful family life
which God has established for
the purity and happiness of hui
manity. And then the world, not
the least our own country, needs
something more than secular edu-
cation and legislation to insure
good citizenship. It has been
discovered that many of the mob
leaders of late have been men
with a high secular learning.
And how can the good laws of
Il land help to maintain order
II the hearts of the people are
ROT in harmony with them? Then
think also of the poor laborer.
How shall he ever be content,
no matter what the pay is, if he
finds no blessing in the work it
self, and, if he has no hope Of
eternal rest after a life of la
Dor. Certainly, the laborer needs
some power to sustain him in
his toll. Finally, and most i'm
portant of all, the sinful world
needs something to save the
souls. For "all have sinned and
come short Of the glory of God"
Think of the millions of souls
that T going rapidly toward
eternity unsaved and without
hope.
Now the question is: has our
church anything that can help
these conditions? Some time ago
there appeared an article in one
OF our magazines about the pos
sibility of ministers striking for
higher salary. A little later there
came a quite bitter reply, evident
" from some enemy of the church
with the plain statement "Let
the preachers 90, they have moth
ing we want or need anyway
Indeed this statement may be
sadly true Of some ministers in
these times, but we r now
speaking Of the possible useful
ness of the true church. Some
where III France a surgeon ask
ed the Chaplain one day: care
you ministers going to preach
the same old stuff after this war
that you preached before?o and
he added: 1T has been of no
earthly good to any one" Of
you please, sir, | said, go with
me into the hospital and observe
the record pertaining to the mo-
rails of the men" Then | showed
him the list Of men who attended
my Bible classes and carried the
New Testament in their pocket.
After some time Of comparison
he looked at me astonished and
said: "Well, Chaplain, none OF
your men are on my blacklist. =
said to him: Major, that S
one result Of the stuff we
preach" Then the doctor be
came serious and said "For
Gods sake, Chaplain, preach 1t
to all my men" Later this sur
geon found himself at work in a
first aid dressing station where
men were dying by scores. From
that place he sent word to me !:
"Chaplain, bring us a bunch OF
those khaki t%estaments, all these
dying men want them, and |
think they all ought to have
them"
Friends, the thing that the
world needs in war and in peace,
in life and in death is the Bible.
That is what our church stands
for, and that without alterations.
There is much talk as to wheth-

TO give III TO men IN The most Ell
fective manner possible. In our
work we must remember that
we have enemies to contend with.
Should we send our ministers
and other Christian men and Wo-
men out into the world with less
training than our enemies? Have
we not reached the time in the
history and development of our
church that we should have one
complete, up-to-date college and
seminary?
Indeed, we have taken a good
step in the right direction. For
a number of years we have car
ried a two year college course
above the Academic or Pro-Semi-
nary course. And, at cur annual
convention this year we decided
to add two more years, making
it a complete college course,
which is being put into operation
at the present time. We have
secured good college trained
men, two of whom are u own
minister's sons. and to others
we have given scholarships to pre-
pare themselves for future ser
vice in our own college. But we
are greatly in need Of new build
ings with modern equipment. In
the first place these things will
be required in order to insure
an institution Of good standing
in the state in which our new
college will be located, which
state that may be. We know as
a matter Of fact that our build
ings and equipment + "passed
on" by state authorities as a
matter of grace. Also in order
to draw students a new modern
school will be necessary. As long
as the young people throughout
our synod have to choose between
their own High School or State
University, having comfortable
class rooms with plenty of light
and modern equipment and Il
own school under the present
circumstances, though we have
some very good teachers, we
should try to realize how they
hesitate to choose our own. We
should also REMINDER that most of
our young folks come from mo-
dern homes now. The houses that
their fathers built as pioneers
have been torn down and new
ones built in their stead. Nearly
every boy or girl now has a good
comfortable room. The old folks
should not wonder that their
children hesitate to spend seven
or eight years in a room of our
old buildings.
Now, in speaking thus plain
ly Of the real condition Of our
buildings in Blair, there r two
things | wish to guard against.
First, | would beg the old faith
full pioneers, who were instrument
tai in building our old school
not to understand these remarks
as voicing a feeling of criticism
upon their work. One brother,
(Rev. O. r. Olsen) wrote a state
ment to the effect that remarks
about the dilapidated state of
the old buildings breathed a spi-
rit of ''hatred" to the "old faith
full ones''. How my good brother
could defle his pen with such
an unfair stroke | do not under
stand. However, | take 1t as only
a "slip" of his fair judgment
or else of his good will. Neither
do we speak thus plainly about
our school buildings with the in
ltention of discouraging prospec.
tive students. These ought rather
to feel encouraged to know that
our church is contemplating the
building Of a new school and
raising for the purpose about a
quarter of a million dollars.
