He was so dear to her. She could not forget her sucking babe. How can she be indifferent to his prosperity and happiness now? No. his joy is her joy. But sometimes love is turned into bitter- ness. and that which was intended to be a happy stimulus of life. becomes a deadly poi- son. eating away the vital organs slow but sure. Jonas Lie in one of his books tells us about a mother. who like so many other mothers But at nights. when her husband was away. she didn't speak much about her children. left her bed and went uqstairs to an unoccu— pied room. called the Blue Hall. where she in the cold moonlight walked the floor up and down wringing her hands in despair while she was thinking of her children. Such is some- times a. mother's love. She saw how the un- godly sentiments of the time carried her chil» dren along to ruin i every one as it seemed We and she was not able to cope with it. Christian people would have told her that she had better trust in God. But the mothers are not always so near to God as they ought to be. and sometimes they have a hard time of it even when they trust in Him. — The boy was such a bright boy. so kind and good and brave, so promising when he was a little boy, and now we 7 a 7 It is not all fiction. We meet them. we read about them No. in fact it is all reality. in books. those who have become a crushing burden on their mother‘s heart. He fell in with He was far away Once it was a farmer boy. had company in the city. from home. and he forgot his two guiding angels —— his mothers eyes. But, unhappin for her, she could not forget. Once it was a young poet who left his dear mother in Stockholm. 1n the slur of Chicago he became in every respect a wreck. He probably knew what he was speaking about when he wrote the poem of which one stanza .in his native tongue is as follows: "Ve den. som icke den hon forstfir. Som gar ur en moders ogal Ye den. som trotsigt sin bana ga‘ir ()ch aktar sin moder foga! . Tung vardar den skord. at sig sjelf han sir: Ty brfinhet faller hvar sorgsen tar Ur en 'alskande moders Ogon.” \Vhen his mother was very old he came back to his home in Sweden like a prodigal son is it is now fourteen years ago —— and only to die. There are many mothers who have left their boys here at Augsburg. and we feel assured that it is a safe place as far as earthly powers can reach. There is no telling where we would have been. if we. like so many unlucky others. had been left in the dark places where the surroundings are personified vice and temptation. Therefor mother. you ought to be thankful. and we ourselves ought to be thankful. It is true We sometimes meet with a heap of drudgery. or as a writer in "Ekko" states Yes. we even After— wards we knew that your loving eyes 7 or it. “the grim realities of life". had a bit of grief to contend with. whatever else it was from you —/ helped us out of it when 'so many other things failed. You have done so much for us. therefore we will try to so live and so work that you may be delighted while you are with us. and when you are gone » 7 77 77. Would it was a long time yet. although we sometimes feel that you must be "aweary of the world" -~~ the world which is but an unquiet place for rest and H. peace. GREAT powers and natural gifts do not bring privileges to their possessor. so much as they bring duties. —Beecher. Show less

On it the family meal was cooked: to it. a part of the meal was always offered. the patri— arch officiating as priest: it stood in the center of the dwelling and no stranger was admitted into its presence. To the patriarch‘s wife was assigned the special duty of keeping the fire supplied with fuel. By marriage. as already noted. the woman ceased to belong to her original family; but became a member of her husband‘s family. The marriage ceremony consisted chieflyinthe brides’ change of family. This was. however preceeded by a treaty between the two fami- lies. a formal offer and a gift of presents by the intended husband's family. which was re- garded as the price paid for the bride. “Then all preliminary matters had been favorably arranged. the different members of the bride- groom's family went to the house of the bride and demanded her. It was customary that there should be a slight delay on the part of the bride. as if she seemed unwilling. but af‘ for this. she was borne’in triumph to the bridegrooms' house. ()11 entering she was lifted over the threshold so as not to touch it with her feet. signifying that her entry was not as that of a guest or stranger: she was then. before the housefire. solemly admitted into the family and became a worshipper at the family alter. Adoption was resorted to. when there was danger of the male line of the family becom- ing extinct. The ceremony was principally similar to that of marriage. The commerce carried on between the differ- ent tribes or families seems to have been con- ducted at certain meeting-places agreed upon. and which were situated on the border or neu— tral territory between the different settlements. Regular friendly intercourse was impossible. as they were almost habitually at war with one another or at least preserving an armed quiet. They were pastoral in their pursuits and habits. They also hunted and fished. Their pastoral pursuits gave rise to many names. morning was called “the calling of the cattle"; evening. "the milking time": the patriarch. --the lord of the cattleu etc. This in brief is a sketch of the early social life of our race. Was: and (/10 Council of Cons-lance. The city of Constance is situated on the south shore of the beautiful lake of Constance. Lying. as it does. stretched out between the blue waters of the, lake and the wooded hills. with its lofty church spires rising among the trees. the towers of the great mynster point- ing above all the rest. it forms an attractive panorama. Constance was in 141-1- a city of 50.000 inhabitants. To-day it is a city of but 67777000. peaceful and quiet. and forms a striking contrast to the turmoil and strifes it presented during Sigismunds reign. The eighteenth general council assembled. upon Sigismund's summons. in November 1414. Church affairs were in a most miser— able condition; three popes were continually hurling anathemas at each others. The main purpose of the council was to declare the au— thority of the general councils superior to that of the popes. and thus to effect a reform- ation "in the head and members” by taking affairs into its own hands. and depose two or all of the usurping popes. But it was not confined to its original purpose. John XXIII. one of the three rival popes. He was loathe to appear. fearing the actions of the council. yet in all probability. his fate would be determined assented to the summons. whether present or absent and he might. as well do what he could to further his own cause. and he goes. Sigismund arrives little later. John had summoned Huss to appear before him in Rome. but the king and nobles being on his side. Huss had declined to come, but had continued his preaching as before. An- athema was pronounced upon him. Prague was laid in interdict. yet his voice. proclaimed against Romish vice and false doctrines; the Show less

Sigismund pledged his word for the security of his person. yet Huss apprehended that he would say farewell forever to his dear congre- gation at Bethlehem Chapel.

Yet the tender farewell he would have spoken lingered‘ in his mind. lest he be overcome with emotion and he'sends through a message the words he would have spoken: "Beloved. if my death ought to contribute to the Master's glory pray that it may come quickly and that He may enable me to support all my calamities with constancy.

Show more288 _ AUGSBURG EKKO other hand, were there no educated men before Latin became a “dead” language? Did not many Romans become highly edu- cated on Latin as a “living” language? And did not the latter-day Romans them- selves consider the study of Greek as the “sine qua non" of higher education? And what about the Greeks? Were they not educated? What nation, ancient, mediaeval, or modern was ever better educated? Un— less, forsooth, it be the Babylonians! Now, if the Greeks could become of all the peo- ples we know, the most highly educated. and if‘the Greeks studied nothing but their own language, does it not stand to reason that either Greek is fully as good a lan- guage to study as Latin, or that one’s own language is the language to study and be- come acquainted with, and, if possible, to master, or that it really depends to some extent upon the individual gifts of those who study? Will any amount of Latin make anything but a fool of one who is a fool in his own native speech? I mention this because Augsburg Seminary has been called a poor school,not worthy to be call— ed a learned institution because we do not believe Latin a “sine qua non” of college education provided, of course, some recog- nized equivalent is put in its place. Apro- pos of learned institutions! That re- minds me of what Dean Swift once said about a certain school. “The reason,” he said, “that school is a learned institution is because everybody who goes there brings some learning to the school, while those who leave the school take no learning with them; so it accumulates.” Now, concerning this complaint about Augsburg Seminary, my impression is that there are people in this part of the world who would call Augsburg Seminary a poor school even if we began the study of Latin in our First Preparatory, and continued to study it for fifty years. My impression is that what these peo- ple really mean is that this particular school is a dangerous institution. And that is true: this is a dangerous school, and the better we do our work, the more dangerous will it be. The reason for this is quite plain. Just one word by way of illustration! People are always afraid of what they do not understand. Strange noises — how they terrify! Strange phenomena—what anxiety they cause! Unknown forces—how they bewilder! Simple truths straightfor- wardly spoken—how they bother people! Men of strong convictions, 'men who can neither be bought, nor flattered, nor scared to abandon their principles—how they are hated! I also remember a man saying that his only objection to Augsburg Seminary as a theological school was that its candi- dates were too ripe when sent out; they knew right away what they were to do and how they were to do it—old hands at it seemingly. Now, of course, this may un- der certain circumstances be a good ob— jection. When bananas and oranges are sent from Mexico and Sicily to New York, they are cut green so as to ripen on the way. Whether this would apply to theological candidates I leave to others to decide. But leaving out of consideration cour- ses of study, methods of instruction and the relative value of institutions, let us for a few moments consider the aims-and re- sults of education. Any education, I take it, has naturally three distinct results, The first is quanti- tative with regard to the amount of know— ledge a student is able to acquire. To say that it is immaterial whether a student learns anything or not, is the blankest non- sense. If a thing is worth knowing, it is worth knowing well, just as if anything is worth doing, it is worth doing well. So, if Latin is worth knowing, it is worth know- Show less
