Show moreTen days later, the steamer landed at New York and Paul found himself in a large city in a strange country. Here . was hurrying about. He was filled both with curiosity and awe. Pre- sently a porter came to his rescue and ofiered to take him to a hotel. Along noisy crowded streets, through crowds of people, they passed. At length, they arrived at “The Grand Hotel.” The hotel was so over-filled that Paul was forced to share his room with another young man. This he did. though quite reluctantly. How could he tell what kind of a roommate this young man would prove to be! But all his doubts vanished when he saw him. John Anderson, Paul’s roommate was a Christian young man and his face shone with the radiance of the sun. Jolm was not handsome in the ordinary sense of the word; but there was something about him that arrested Paul's attention. " Somehow only John’s presence had a great influence over him. As they were about to retire for the night. John took out his Bible and read the third chapter of the Gospel of St. John. Paul thought he had never heard anyone read like that before. He was strangely moved. Then John knelt and prayed to God. When he rose from his knees his face shone so brightly that Paul could not look at it. They retired for the night: but there was little sleep for Paul that night. He had left home to get away from religion, and here he was up against it as soon as he reached America, the land he believed to be free from such a thing. Early the next morning, Paul started out to seek work. Soon he met a young man quite proficient in the art of gamb- ling. who ofiered to teach him how to gamble. This young man, Clarence Nel- son. told him that in this way he could earn money easily and be able to live ex- travagandy. Paul thought this was a The Augsburg E rho fine proposition; and so they agreed to meet the same evening one block south of “The Grand Hotel." Accordingly at eight o’clock they met and they went to a gambling-house in the main part of the city. The first night Paul was success— ful. The second night he was even more successful. The third night he was the victor of the evening. He was very hap- py, and entirely unconscious of the plot that had been planned by his envious gambling friends to deprive him of his money. Time wore on. tween Paul and Clarence grew friendship and the friendship grew into companionship. lefore long Clarence prevailed upon him to take his first glass of beer and thereby show that he was a man. Paul not only took the first glass but also a second and a third until the habit was formed. One night in the bar- room when Paul had been unusually successful in winning a heap of money, he was led by the others to drink more than usual; and so Paul became dead drunk. He lay in a stupor. His com- panions used this opportunity to deprive him of the money he had in his pocket. \Vhen Paul awoke from his drunken stupor. he lay in his room and John. his roommate. was sitting by his bed. Paul looked about bewildered. Suddenly he remembered the night at the barroom and, realizing his degrading condition, he shrank from meeting the innocent eves of his friend. John explained to him how he had been robbed by his companions and how he had been brought to his room again. drunk. Paul felt heartily ashamed. The very presence of John Anderson created in him only noble and pure thoughts. Together they talked for some time Evening came and John Anderson, as his custom was, read a portion of God’s \\'ord. Tonight he read the story of the The acquaintance be- into Show less

John placed his hand in Paul's and said. “Yes. I do, Paul. Only believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.” Together they knelt. side by side. John prayed as Paul thought he had never hezml anyone pray before.

Then Paul prayed as he had never prayer since early childhood at his mother‘s knee. "God, he merciful to me. a sinner! l have wasted many a precious year. but now I’m coming home." was Paul's prayer. When they arme lrum their knees, Paul's face was radiant with joy; for he had come back to his Father's house. Farly the next morning.

Show moreThe Augsburg Echo Sharps and Flats Any school subject that can arouse en- thusiastic participation by the students is also likely to function in life. It is “practical,” to use a current phrase. But if by “practical” we mean that the knowledge and skill acquired in any sub- ject is directly exchangeable in the market place for jingling coin, then I admit that music is not as practical as some other things. However. if this is the yard-stick to be applied, 1 fear that a good many of our school subjects will fail to measure up. yes. I even have mis- about school education as a whole. If money and money value is the "be—all" and the “end-all" of life. then all our hopes in book-learning are entirely misplaced. Then a good trick- monkey is a greater educational triumph than a ['h.l). )lut if the practical in education means to train boys and girls to become better men and women. to as- sist them in realizing to the highest pos- sible degree their rich heritage of spirit- uual and intellectual capacities, so they may live the best and fullest human lives as individuals and as members of society. then music is in the best sense a practical subject and deserves an as- sured place in our educational scheme. For music trains the whole persmality. As art it appeals especially to the emo- tional nature of the pupil; as a science it trains both his intellect and his will and thus develops that control of the strictly emotional which guards it from givmgs degenerating into vague sentimentalism with its grave moral danger. While mu- sic disciplines the pupil, it does not rob him of the freedom of self-expression. This fact can easily be proved. Take any two trained singers,—the more hkh- ly trained, the better—let them sing the same song and they will never sing it exactly in the same way. Each inter- pretation will be individual, because each one will be .shot through with the shit er's personality. It is hard indeed to find a school study where objective knowledge and subjective personality may work together so harmoniously. Hence the powerful hold that music has on all kinds of people. Once it has en- tered into the inner life of a nun, it sel— dom entirely leaves him, unless he grou- ly neglects it. This sometimes happens. but those who allow their interest in mu- sic to die usually regret it. ,Darwin has a. highly significant passage that bears on this point. In his Autobiographical Notes he has these words: “I have said «that in one respect my mind has changed ~ during the last twenty or thirty years. Up to the age of thirty or beyond it, poetry of many kinds gave me great pleasure, and even as a schoolboy I took intense delight in Shakespeare, especially in the historical plays. I have also aid that formerly pictures gave me consider- able, and music very great delight. But now for many years I cannot endure to read a line of poetry: I have lately tried to read Shakespeare and found it so in- tolerably dull that it. nauseatea me.

Show morelelt occasion to turn pale around the “gills” as we gasped and in open-umb- ed perplexity rolled our eyes ceiling- ward in fruitless endeavor to recall that which we in reckless abandon had never really taken pains to learn at any time. But now that we are safely at sea again on the last perilous stretch of the year, and as bravely unconcerned about that‘ one lesson which we should have learnt from the previous quarter. we may. un- less we strain our vacillating and irreso- lute efforts, duplicate our fomier errors again in not making the mest of our present opportunities while there is yet time to retrieve some suppbrt for our lust conceit. and to establish a more endurng bulwark against all future sorties.

Convention held at St. Peter, Minn, the following were delegates from Augsburg: Larry Berg, Einar Gynild, Victor Carlson. Ar- nold' Sandness, and Edwin Myhre. Shortly after their return the boys gave their reports during a chapel hour. 4: Robert H. Glover, one of the speakers at the St. Peter convention, spoke in chapel one morning on f‘What consti— tutes a missionary call.” He based his talk on the 16th chapter of Acts, show- ing how Paul was led by the Holy Spirit to go and preach the Gospel in Europe. He named two factors in a missionary call: 1) the Divine Will of God, 2) human need. He said we should not take the attitude of demanding proof why we should go to the mission field, but rather try to prove to ourselves why we should not go. We should at least volunteer. If God will exempt us—all right! _ _ 1: March 10th, in the evening, Augs- burg had its first “Athletic” banquet. There have been “cracker-jack” basket- ball teams and “gym’” teams at Augs— burg before. but never were they so highly honored as were the Academy and College basket-ball teams of 1924. The boys deserved the honor, however. They are all small men, except “Sivert’,, but they are good, fast players. They have won against opponents that outweighed than by several pounds. But now I am going into the realms of the athletic editor somewhat so I will say no more of the players except in connection with their part in the banquet. Prof. B. Hel- land was toastmaster. He called upon Oliver Aas, former University Of Min— nesota football star and captain. Mr. Aas spoke on athletics, and praised the teams for the work they had done. He The Augsburg Echo \dwelt to some extent on sportsmanship. Then our coach. “Si” Melby, spoke. He too, complimented the team on their work and their patience and good will during training as shown by their readi— ness to obey commands and take advice. The toastmaster next called upon Prof. Sverdrup, who spoke very energetically on the place and value of athletics in school life. He urged the boys to re— tain that same spirit of “fight to win" for the game of life even as they showed it in their basket~ball games. The cap— tains of the teams and the captain for next year’s college team were then called upon to speak. Arne (iynild, captain of the College team, on behalf of his mates. thanked the girls who made the banquet possible, and thanked the student body for the support given the team through— out the season. and expressed the team's high regard for coach “Si,” giving him, as a token of their esteem. a white wool sweater. Then, as Prof. Sverdrup read the names of the letter men, .\lrs. Melby pinned the A’s on the players‘ breasts. Everyone agreed that the banquet was excellent. True Augsburg school spirit prevailed. 4: The Freshman College Class gave an exceedingly entertaining program Thurs— day evening, March 13th. The program was given for the benefit of the “Echo”. which is in financial straits. Wise is Nature’s plan, Who in her realm as in the soul of man, Alternates storm with calm, and the loud noon \Vith dewy evening’s soft and sacred lull. -——Paul H.

Show moreThe AM 5:50 "THE OPEN BOOK" Oneofmyfriendsconplained tome some time ago that he was tired of all the dispute about the many things which enter our minds more or less necessarily day in and day out. In our classes we hear various comments on literature, psychology, philosophy, politics. religion, —in short, on everything that has any relation to man’s physical. moral, social and religious being. Outside of class we must of necessity think about these things, and at times we are so besieged by problems which seem so strenuously to demand our attention that we become bewildered before each and all, our fac— ulties become amazingly scattered, and our minds are muddled in so sorry a fashion that we do not know which way to turn or what to do. When in such a condition it gives me relief to think of a spectacle I have seen many times, Tea slow moving crow besieged and pecked by a horde of sparrows. Perhaps the figure is too complimentary to me, however, inasmuch as the crow con~ tinues in flight, and usually in one direc- tion, anyhow. We are well enough off if we are bored with just one or two things; that is an indication of a healthy condition. We can turn then from, say, psychology. to poetry, or from religion to some old time romance; the things to which we turn are fresh to us, and we travel in a world not visited by the dust of the old. There comes times to all of us when it seems that all things induce nothing but ennui, and if it is then true that we can become interested in nothing, then it is, indeed, time for us to die. It is question- able whether any of us could ever reach such a desperate state, whatever we may think in our darkest moments; we may not find flowers in the woods or on the hills, nor any birds in whatever trees we may see about us, but somewhere, we may be snre.thefiowerahlofla.udfi robins, somewhere, flit amoq the has, and sing to while away the time before theygobacktoinhaba'tthetreeatlnt seem now so desolate. The flower: and the birds come back once again. and it is for the weary only to wait. In the meantime, we may find our- selves enchanted by something which be fore we had’ not known or heard 0!. something entirely outside our previous interests. It may attract us by its very strangeness. So I have found immense interest in such various and commly foreign things as Japanese poetry, the life of the bee, the structure of atoms. the habits of ancient animals of the world, the government of Afghanistan, and the ceaseless and invaluable action of the ductless glands of the human body. In the strangest lands we may find the safest havens against the storms that have tossed us about in what seems to us a world of woe. Yet in things close at hand there are almost inexhaustible founts to-draw our minds to the change which is rest. There are, first, our own bodies—how little we think about them! The infinitesimal parts, infinite in number, and unceasing in motion and change; their complex in- terrelations; the functions of each, and of the larger parts that they compose; the perfectness and majesty of the whole creature, mind, matter, soul; the rela- tions of these complete creatures with one another: these, too, are things to wonder over. Then there is the outside world, the animals, the plants, the rocks, the clouds, the streams; fire, air, earth, water. What a multitude of things to interest us here! If these things fail us, we have our memories, that will reunite us again with the past, and through it, with the pre- sent. Whenlamdeapondartlexpa- ience over in my memory the lust Show less

Show more‘ All hail the blythe spirit of "awakened springl Lie to a voice from above. it speaks of loving omnipotence that imbues with life the twig, the grass. and all the dormant growth that now issues from the soil. Again do gather sustenance to nourish to new vigor the unfolding glory and verdure. Again do we witness the ever-astonish- ing recurrent symbol of the Creator’s plan for the perpetuation of life. Again are we enabled to read a little in nature's book of secrecy, and again does nature encourage us to hope and anticipate. As spring buttresses our flagging ambitions, and revives our sagging hopes and expectations for another blessed season of accorfllishment, so ought it also reassure us of the life-giving power of Him who directs the never—failing four seasons. As resurrected spring has risen to communion with the Invisible, so shall we. too, in time rise to a new birth and reunion above. Now that grasses and flowers will soon stand as Heavenowrought revelations of His power to give life to all things in due season. then vanish troubled minds: faint' courage, and all despair. To mortal man this world may be an endless tale of woe, but to immortal soul! lies in wait a promise of release imo an eternal Spring of Joy. Nature. our conscience, and His revealed Word tell us that. I. P. L. Show less
