Seventh-Day
Adventist Hear
Conference Report

A call for a sanctified ministry,
and the relentless preaching of the
gospel in all parts of the world,
despite changing political trends,
highlighted the annual Seventh-day
Adventist Autumn Council in St.
Louis, Mo. which closed November
Is. Thus reported Elder B. w.
Abney to the members of the
Berean Seventh-day church Of
Jackson, Miss located at Rose and
Pascagoula Streets.
During the 10 days meeting, 500
delegates heard of church gains
everywhere. A total of 65,O14 adult
baptisms in 1913 marked the larg-
est membership increase in any one
year. European divisions presidents
reported membership at an all-time
high.
Record offerings totaling S42,-
302 $500 were given by 672,65S
Seventh-day Adventists throughout
the world last year. Per capita giF-
ing for North American Adven-
lists was S135.70. Sabbath school
members alone gave in their week
ly offerings S4,643, $4,000 for
foreign missions, it was disclosed
by Washington, D. c., church Of
ficials who credit this branch of the
church with raising more than $70,-
000,000,00 for overseas work in the
past 40 years.
Speakers emphasized The need OF
prayer and conservation in this
atomic age of impending peril.
Arthur S. Maxwell, Mountain
View, California, editor of the
SIGNS OF THE TINES, declared
that political changes N the Fan
East, developments in Palestine
and the race for supremacy in
atomic weapons fulfill the prophe.
cies of the Scriptures, and indicate
that we are swiftly moving into
the closing scenes of human history
which will climax in the return OF
Jesus to this earth"
| j. L. McElhany, Washington, d
c., the denominations world pres
ident, urged Adventist leaders tt
curtail expenditures in this coun
try in order to provide a larger
budget for overseas expansion. AID
ventist missionaries have beer
withdrawn from the Communist.
dominated area of China, and work
there has been placed under the
leadership of Chinese officials, he
disclosed.
Other speakers at the council
warned Christian leaders in this
nation against encrouchments or
religious Liberty, explained that
Adventists operate their own sys.
tenn of 3,947 schools because they
believe religion to be an integral
part of education, and advised pas
tors not to become too engrossed
in energy-sapping routine duties
because ga tired minister is not a
good leader for his flock"
Plans for church members to
visit 100000 homes in 1850 were
approved by delegates. March A

Viola Recital Reveals Artist

vino uses good judgmen; in the
selection Of q program His tech
nical equipment could have easily
led him into a field OF Snowman
ship. yet he had the good taste
OF selecting compositions strictly
within the limitations Of the
viola. The instrument can be q
beautiful singer and this is pre-
cisely what Mr.. Querfurth dem
onstrated.
Owner Of an unusually fine
viola. very even IN quality. ne
disclosed its glowing tone in COM
positions designed TO emphasize
its purity. A few minor technical
blemishes. noted in his delivery
of Schubert's Sonata for the
Arpeggione. a five-stringed in
strument. did not detract from
his ability. The performance of
the "Arpeggione Sonata" on the
viola might have been the first
here. Favored by cellists. it was
heard several times in the past,
but not TO such good advantage.
More responsive and with
quicker action than the cello. the
viola lent more fluency to the
work. Its cantabile passages were
lovelier and those in high posi-
tons seemed more natural.
The piece de resistance Of the
evening was Bloch's Suite"
among the first compositions in
which an abundance OF demands
was placed on the performer
interpretatively and technically.
Bloch did not hesitate to bor-
row some violinistic stunts in the
form of ponticello effects. arti-
fetal harmonics and the use OF
the wooden part of the bow. But
the distinguishing merit of the
work is its broad. cantabile style
which permits the player to fully
display the tone Mr.. Querfurth
had an unusually capable and
sympathetic partner in Frances
Sachs. who Is an accomplished
pianist and managed the Diff
ficult ensemble with ease. One
may have wished for greater
authority and form in the delivery
of the "Lento" and more spark
in the gay Chinese themes Of the
Motto Vivo," of the last move
ment. These two parts seemed to
weigh heavily on the artists and
lacked the animation and zest
displayed in the beginning and
in the last group. Yet on the
whole it was a thoroughly COM
mendable performance.
In a Latin American vein. Ben
jamin's From San Domingo" and
Jamaican Rumba" were charm
ing in their simplicity. They were
followed by Chopin's "Nocturne in
c Sharp Minor" and Kreisler's
popular ''Preludium and Allegro"
the latter lending itself well to
the demands of the viola. Both |
artists had a well deserved
success.

Theodor Heuss, 65-year-old neW y-elected President of the Federal Republic of Germany is described as
 liberal professor and journalist He is the first man to hold the office since the death of Field Marshal Paul Hindenbrug, in 1884.
 The new President of Germany faces serious obsta- ces in connection with the affairs of his country Now divided into two segments with Berlin under joint AL lied control the natural effort of the Chief Executive will be accomplish in good time, the reunion of all Germany.
 More serious perhaps will be the effort to rebuild the shattered economy of Germany This does not mean that the future will revival of German indus trial strength but progress must be made both for the good of the German people and the welfare of Eu rope.
 President Heuss emphasized the sovereignty of the eleven states that make the Federal Republic and ap pealed for national unity but emphasized that he was against centraSm which, he asserted had led to Nag ism in the past.
 It is impossible for any one to venture prediction as to the of the present Republic of Germany whether such government would be able to succeed if the component parts of Germany remaining after the war, could be united. The earlier German Republic gave way to the propaganda of Adolf Hitler who blamed all the ills of the Germans upon the outcome ot the first World War Herr HeusS it is expected, will not make the mistake but there telling whether another demagOgue like Hitler will arise to msead the German people,
 It would be matter of general satisfaction the peo- pie of Germany develop their democratic processes and in spirit of loyalty to freedom join hands with the Western nations of Europe in the defense of modern civilization In this direction lies the greatest possibility for German advancement. It is to be devouty hoped that the great German people will definitely reject all future appeals resort effort to conquer their neghbors and to win place in the sun through out the world

 Meeting Discusses City Sales Tax Plan

standing committees as follows:
 Gordon Osborne, civil affairs; Steve Anderson, mining and in- dustry; Ted Duffield, legislation; Paul Vaudeville, health and relief; Don Lyle, roads and harbors; Will liam Woods, membership; George Beacon, publicity; A. Polet, trans portation, tourists.
 The subject of sale tax was in- troduced by Councilman Joe Hunt who explained the city's five-point program most urgently in need of funds. namely: seawall, police and fire department, garbage disposal, schools, streets and alleys.
 He explained that the voting to be held next Tuesday is not on how the tax shall be levied but only to know the desire of the peo- pie, whether or not they desire sales tax. He stressed the point that if the sales tax is voted down the city will have to increase the property tax to the maximum and the whole burden will rest on about 400 people, whereas the sales tax will divide the tax among all people in the community.
 The discussion which followed brought out the facts that doctor, dentist and drug sales would be exempt, retail purchases for places outside of Nome would be exempt, just as they are from States with sales tax to the Territory.
 It was expressed by Albert Day, a visitor, that practically all States find this method of taxation most satisfactory and that is why it has become so popular.
 Opposition to the sales tax was expressed as being burden to the business houses who must do considerable extra clerical WOrK as well as collect the tax.
 Council members expressed the opinion that they hoped that ev- eryone having recommendation on the provisions of the consumers sales tax present them to the coun- cil who will welcome all sugges- tionS, should the citizens vote the city the right to levy such tax.
 Another fact brought out by the discussion revealed the fact that this is the one tax that shall be paid in Nome and all of which re- mains in Nome for improvements here. Every cent collected goes back to the taxpayer by improv- ing the community.
 The Chamber appointed com mittee of Gordon Osborne, Alfred , Lomen, Jr., and Stanley Morgan to study the proposed tax and render a report before the election on Tuesday.
 Many praises were extended to Binks and Hazl Seiffert for the tasty and bountiful spaghetti din- ner which they prepared and serv- ed for the Chamber

AN AIR FORCE ACADEMY

Congress has been asked to appropriate 171OOOO 900 for Air Force Academy, comparable to West Point and Annapolis The suggestion from Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson who says that the Air Force IS handicapped by inadequate training facilities for it's of ticers.
 We think the suggestion is eminently sound and that
 separate academy should be established to train off cers for the Air Force The process however, does not fit in with the campaign to unfy the armed services
 The Secretary of Defense is champion of unification claiming that the nation large sums by elmn- ating duplication of facilities in the armed forces The argument made that there should also be unfcation of command which requires that topflight commanders be qualified through something like unified course of instruction.
 The recommendation of the Secretary of Defense, if acted upon by Congress- would intensity the so-caled rivalry between the three great services and tend to promote the education of technical experts for each o the armed services This in opinion, good thing but it is far cry from the unification theory TITO SHIPS METAL TO U. s.
