Show more2“ AUGSBURG ECHO church that suffered from many grave distempers and hideous sins, and yet, with all its shortcomings, it had many who loved Jesus in their hearts and were doing God's work, were His fellow—workers. He then traced the history of the Norwegian church and illustrated in several telling ways how there had been periods of great spiritual darkness, but even then God had had his fellow-workers, often men and women of unknown name and humble station who had kept the embers burning until brighter times had dawned. Whenever there is a heart that believes in Jesus, there will also be found a fellow—worker of God. Thus it is among you; so it was in old Norway. Even from the day when the first viking gave his heart to the “white Christ”, has there been constant work with God for the salvation of souls. During long periods spiritual life was fettered by authority, but it broke the bonds for the first time in the great spiritual revival aroused by Hans Nilsen Hauge and ever since'there has been serious effort for God and with God for the emancipation of spiritual life and the calling of Christians to work. And there is a body of Chris- tian workers in Norway to-day. It is this working church which on this occasion sends its greetings to Augsburg Seminary and to the working church among our people in this country. The Bishop closed by reading a series‘of greetings from Norway. There were felicitations from the Church Minister, from the Norwegian Missionary Society, from the League of Home Missions, from the Pastor’s Society, and from the ‘Menighetsfakultet’." The Saturday afternoon and Sunday sessions will be sketched in the next issue of “Echo”. ‘ Among the many exchanges that we recelve, “The Mamtou Mes- senger” is one of the most frequent. Being a newspaper weekly, we have the opportunity to read that paper frequently, and have by this time become quite well acquainted with it. It is a publication which represents its school well. It is filled with the live spirit and good feel- ing which prevails at that institution. I . In the last issue of “The Manitou Messenger” whlch we received, we noted a new feature added to the paper called “The Literary Supple- ment". We believe that section is a great improvement to the paper, as far as literary work is concerned. We can frankly state that it is an addition of great importance, because the “Messenger” lacked much of that sort of material. \V e shall not expect such a large number of pages Show less

Show moreAUGSBU.RG ECHO f6 work, altho all the work on the mission field has an evangelistic pur- pose, but a call comes from the starving multitudes whose bigoted ideas, formed from a religion of superstition. make it impossible for them to control the resources of the soil. Here is an opportunity for the young agricultural students of the West. One of the greatest calls from these benighted millions is for medical work. The Non-Christian world is reeking with filth and disease. Thousands are dying because of the lack of medical attention. Arabia has only four medical men to take charge of the sick in that large country: less than one doctor to every million persons. The same conditions prevail in most of the unevange- lized countries. A challenge to young men to take up the medical pro- fession! A challenge to young women to go out as doctors or nurses! The progress of our civilization is due to enlightenment guided by Chris— tianity. The hopelessness. the superstition. the degrading morality. the torture inconceivable which the pagan goes thru in order to satisfy some fearful god—demon, is due to the fact that Christianity with its power of enlightenment has not as yet penetrated thru the great wall of Stygiau blackness. Here is a call to young men and women to go out and lift the veil of ignorance and superstition from these peoples, and lead them to Jesus Christ who has said, “I am the true light.“ As the tremendous needs of the world of to—day dawn upon our minds, the questions come: \Vhere shall we go? \\"hat shall we do? This becomes, to the individual, a serious problem, a problem that can— not be solved without God. “Find thyself!” Dr. Sherwood Eddy has said, “It does not matter so much where you are as what you are." I am positive that if you are what you ought to be before God, He will show you very plainly where He wants you, and what He wishes you to do. \Vhat the so called Christian world of to-day needs, as well as the Non-Christian world, is men and women who will live Jesus Christ before the eyes of men, who have faith enough in God to do and dare in the name of Jesus Christ, who are willing to meet Jesus at the Cross of Calvary, and, if necessary, die with Him. Are you such an one? Jesus needs, and the world needs, men and women. “When Jesus died for us, should we not be willing to burn up for His cause ?” Q. 0. Show less

Vi er samlet her for at faa et glimt av en ny verden.” Disse 0rd, uttalte av dr. Mott i hans aapningstale, gir 05 en forstaaelse av den store opgave som laa foran konferansen 0g hvilken mzegtig indsats den vil vaere i dannelsen av denne nye ara, dersom dens utfald kunde bli slik som mange hadde haabet 0g bedt om. Det har sin betydning for dan- nelsen av folkekarakteren verden over, med hvilke indtryk 0g idéer disse mer end syv tusen intelligente unge maend 0g kvinder, fra snart sagt alle verdens lande, kommer tilbake til sine respektive institutioner. Dr. Mott, med klar forstaaelse av 0g dyp indsigt i verdens n¢d 0g den eneste lindring for denne n¢d, pekte paa det ansvar som hvilet paa dem som der var samlet. Han sluttet med disse vaegtige 0rd: “La 05 vare meget ydmyge, sindige 0g sterke!" Robert Speer, denne statsmandsmaessige mand paa missionskund— skapens omraade, kastet ut ntfordringer: “Skal vi saette Gud paa pr¢ve? Skal vi kjende ham i hans realitet, i hans sandhet 0g forstaa hvad Paulus mente da han sa: Jeg formaar alt i Gud som gj¢r mig sterk!” Det var minuter av evighets betydning for mange. Her blev holdt frem for 05 de aapne d¢re til de store masser av verdens befolkning, hvor Moham- med, Buddha 0g Konfusius hersker, men som nu skimter opgangen' av en ny dag 0g roper ut: “Vis os veien til sandheten !” Brune, sorte 0g gule haender straekker Sig ut i b¢nlig appel til de hvite 0g deres Gud. Ve os, om vi svigter dem! En av de ypperligste 0g mest braendende talere ved konferansen var den velkjendte Sherwood Eddy. Eddys tale er av kosmopolisk karakter: Snart staar han paa en fjeldtop i Frankrike, snart i Egypten, saa i Pale— stina, i Indien, i Kina, i Amerika. Og alt er for ham som at bes¢ke na- boen paa andre siden av gaten. Han har et geni for statistik som gj¢r hans tale bare mere interessant 0g levende. Det kan vare av interesse i disse dage av “high cost of living” at vite, at m' tiendedele av befolk- ningen i Indien faar tre cents dagen for sit arbeide. “Du har kun ett liv, hvad vil du bruke det til?” var det alvorlige sp¢rsmaal som den enkelte blev stillet overfor. Vi maatte taenke paa Skrefsruds 0rd: “Hadde jeg tusen liv, vilde jeg gi dem alle til mis- sionen.” Blandt andre kjendte talere ved konferansen var Samuel M. Zwemer. Det er sagt om dr. Zwemer, at hans to lidenskaper er mohammedansk Show less

'52 Z A L_ U M N I : 41$- AUGSBURG’S GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY. A (Continued from the December issue.) Many newly—arrived visitors were on hand Saturday morning to take part in the festivities. Seldom has Old Augsburg seen such a festiVe day. From the beginning of the morning session until the close of the evening meeting, every moment was employed in making the visitors realize that Augsburg possesses a glorious past and is approaching a greater future. President Sverdrup delivered the address of welcome. Thereupon he gave a short sketch of the history of the school and a resume of its aspirations. Augsburg has grown up with the great Northwest. Its advance has been progressively simultaneous with that of the community. Originally the school was closely allied to the Norwegian immigrants, and was, and still to a certain degree continues to be, inalienable from the spirit of these hardy men. God has accorded us the privileges of a free land, and we are obliged to assume the responsibilities which are inseparably connected with freedom of action. In order to accomplish these duties, and in order to live our lives to their full measure, we must train ourselves in the realization of the essential verities of life. This has been and must always continue to be the function of our school. Show less

It looks like a cubist painting. Try to name all the countries of Europe. You must hurry, before they make some more countries. * One of the mission magazines contributes the answers to questions asked in various mission schools :— The compass does not point due north because the poles of the earth are not in the same place they must be. Samuel was the man who oiled two kings. An egg is a chicken not yet. In the first crusade the king was Sardine. 63>: LOCAL—S :43- — School reopened, after the Holiday vacation, January sixth. — Several new students have enrolled after Christmas, which neces- sitated assistant instructors in order conveniently to arrange classes for all. — The Referendum vote taken Tuesday, January thirteenth, proved Augsburg to be strongly Republican. The majority voted for the ac- ceptance of the “Peace Treaty” with the “Lodge Reservations.” — The out—of—town ministers who have visited Augsburg during the last month are Rev. C. J. Carlsen, Rev. Chr. Jorgensen, and Rev. N. Halvorson. —— Prof. Lillehei, T. Quanbeck, L. Olson, B. Helland, and S. Torger- son attended the Student Volunteer Convention held at Des Moines, Iowa, December 31 to January 4. —— The Rev. \Nhitman, Missionary from Sudan, Africa, spoke during Chapel hour January tenth. He gave a vivid illustration of Mohamme- danism and its dangers to Christian work among the Pagans, and pleaded earnestly for missionaries to come to Africa. He laid special emphasis on the fact that now, before Mohammedanism gets too strong a hold on the natives of that vast country, is the time to take up the work. — In order to make the “Locals” the best possible, we wish to ask the students to assist us in gathering news.

In the "Ode to France" Lowell reveals his optimism when he says, ‘fSlow are the steps of Freedom, but her feet Turn never back- war ", and again in the same poem “And down the happy future runs a flood Of prophesying ligt ; It shows on Earth, no longer stained with blood, Blossoms and fruit where now we see the bud Of Brotherhood and Right.” Such was the spirit of Lowell. He loved righteousness and hated wrong; he believed in democracy and detested tyranny; he extolled free- dom and condemned slavery. His was the spirit of the Christ who min- istered to the poor and downtrodden and rebuked the Pharisee. We need this spirit to—day as never before, for, as we see the works of selfish men and dishonest politicians, as we read of the struggle between capital and labor, and as we come in contact with the misery caused by poverty and vice, we must realize that the spirit of Lowell in our political life, in our economic life, in our social life, and in our religious life is the one spirit that will make this world a better and a happier place to live in. * AND FLATS £9 The Band played several selections at the Faculty Reception which was held Wednesday evening, February 11. The Band is making some great improvements in its playing. This is very easily noticed by those who have not heard it play for some time. The Glee Club sang several songs at the Faculty Reception. Alf Harbo was the soloist at the Reception. He was accompanied by Miss Ragna Nydahl at the piano. This was Harbo’s first appearance before the faculty and student body. We can here say that it is not likely that it will be the last. The Augsburg quartette sang several songs at the Trinity Young Men's Club meeting which was held at the home of Theodore Nydahl, February ninth. Besides the quartette, Miss Ragna Nydahl and Melvin Olson sang several solos and duets. The Augsburg quartette also sang at the Young People’s meeting at Trinity Church on Sunday, February 15. The School Chorus sang for us at one of the Chapel exercises last week. The Chorus is doing exceptionally well this year, and it is proper and right that we should encourage its members by telling them so. Show less

His face was full of deep wrinkles, which branched off in all directions and seemed to indicate the path of his journey thru life. The lines of his mouth were bent downward and seemed to portray the sad emptiness of his soul. 'He had a firm chin, a long, red nose, and a broad forehead. His hair, which had been black, was begin- ning to turn gray. As the man looked at me, I noticed that he trembled slightly, and that his face darkened. Perhaps my person caused him to recall his home and children. Probably he saw in his vision the scene of years ago when he sat in his comfortable home with his jolly, happy boy upon his lap, the boy whom he once loved and was interested in. Whatever his thoughts may have been, they were sad recollections, which seemed to move his conscience. ' The man uttered another oath and passed on down the road, stagger- ing from side to side. As I stood and watched him until he disappeared in the distance, I thought: “What a stormy sea life has been for this man. He has had a rough voyage, and the waves of temptation have dashed him against the rocks of sin. Will I dare to set sail upon the dangerous sea of life ?” But these words of the poet soothed my anxious soul as I continued my journey: “jesus, Savior, pilot me, Over life’s tempestuous sea: Unknown waves before me roll, Hiding rocks and treach’rous shoal; Chart and compass come from Thee. Jesus, Savior, pilot me. As a mother stills her child, Thou canst hush the ocean wild; Boisterous waves obey thy will When Thou say’st to them “Be still!” “Wondrous Sovereign of the sea.” Jesus, Savior, pilot me. When at last I near the shore, And the fearful breakers roar, ’Twixt me and the peaceful rest, Then, while leaning on Thy breast, May I hear Thee say to me. “Fear not. I will pilot thee." A. S. Berg.

Blasts of a dead Chrysanthemum, Blur. Whispers of mauve in a sow’s ear; Snort of a daffodil.” Do you understand that? Neither do we. Pity the poor students of the future who will be obliged to interpret such chaotic nonsense. The fourth line seems to characterize the whole poem. Ursus. MY DAILY PRAYER To grow a little wiser day by day To school my mind and body to obey, To keep my inner life both clear and strong. To free my life from guile. my hands from wrong: To shut the door on Hate and Scorn and Pride, To open. then. to Love the windows wide; To meet with cheerful heart what comes to me. To turn life’s discords into harmony; To share some weary worker's heavy load, To point some straying comrade t0 the road. To know that what I have is not my own. To feel that I am never quite alone; This would I pray from day to day. As on I go upon my way. Anon. Show less

Hans foraeldre var meget rikc. Helt fra barn av hadde han vazret vant til at ha fuldt op av livets goder. Alt hvad han vilde ha, det fik han. F¢lgen var at han blev forkaelet 0g bortskjaemt. Han‘ fik lov at gj¢re som han selv vilde, cg var oftc ulydig. Noget nyttig vilde han ikke foreta sig. Som han var som barn, saaledes vokste han op. Han hjalp ikke til med noget ar- beide, men tankte kun paa sin egen forng’ielse, hvilket 0fte bestod i at ta sig en seiltur ute paa sj¢en, eller at kj¢re til byen, som ikke var langt borte. Der traf han sammen med kamerater av samme kaliber som hm selv var. Han var ogsaa meget stolt 0g hovmodig, og viste stor fongt for de iattige. Altid f¢1te han sig for stor til at vaere i deres selskap, 0g undgik dem derfor saa meget som mulig. Pu hams fars eiendom, der laa paa et ness som stak ut i sjden, stod en liten r¢dmalt hytte. Der bodde en enke med sin eneste datter, Dag- mu. Inde i deres Iille hjem var det lunt 0g koselig. Straks man kom ind om d¢rcn, kunde man merke at der hersket en kristelig atmossfaere.

He stamps as the Devil’s theory the statement we so often hear that “it is God’s plan that some should starve and toil while others share the wine and oil.” Lowell believes in equality and his heart goes out to the suffering multitudes. In “The Landlord” he condemns the miserly landlord who squeezes the last cent from his tenants in order to enrich his own coffers. Lowell believes that it is his duty as a poet to help allay the suffering of the poor and in his poem “To the Future” he says, “Where are most sorrows, there the poet’s sphere is.” His Christianity was a practical one. He believed that Christ was not found by following dogmatic creed or by simply worshipping in temples made with hands, but he believed that Christ was found thru service. He believed in the Gospel of the Good Samaritan who bound up the wounds of the injured traveller and gave him a lift. In “The Search” he tells how he looked for Christ in the world ’mid power and wealth as he expected to find Christ, the King, there, but he sought in vain. Then he turned to the poor and outcast and there in the rude hovel he found Him. He discovered that Christ’s kingdom was not among the wealthy, but “His throne is with the outcast and the weak.” Lowell believed in tolerance in religion and in “Ambrose” he clearly brings this out. This poem tells about a monk who believed that he had the true faith and he determined to make everyone believe his creed, and those who refused to believe as he did were burned or boiled or tortured in other horrible ways. But one day he had a vision which opened his eyes and he saw that the spirit and not the creed was the essential thing. Lowell was devoutly religious and had a firm faith in God, but he had no use for cant and bigotry. He believed in an “Honest-to—God” re- ligion and he had the utterest contempt for those who sought to hide their wickedness by hypocritically playing with religion. He believed that “Religion is a good armor, but a poor cloak.” In “A Parable” he shows his scorn for those who have made the church a sort of a house of merchandise instead of a house of prayer, and asks: “Have ye founded your thrones and altars, then, On the bodies and souls of living men? And think ye that building shall endure, Which shelters the noble and crushes the poor?” Lowell had a deep reverence for the purity of womanhood and the Show less

Therefore it is necessary for each individual to develop and increase his abilities in order to benefit mankind by their use. Other topics are: “The Power of Will”, “\Nhatever is Worth Doing at All is Worth Doing Well”, etc. All the articles are full of good thoughts, well worthy of presenting to any reader of the paper. The mterial is well arranged. altho we must conclude, since the publication lacks both a musical and an athletic department, that music and athletics must be of minor interest at that institution. The Intercollegiate News Service says that there is "an average decrease of 22% from their previous maximum enrollments in normal schools this year, while colleges and universities show an average increase of 15%. Only nine normal schools out of 74 report- 'Ig to President Butcher of Kansas State Normal list their present en- mllments as equal to or above their previous maximums. Several of the schools are down 50% in attendance. Low salaries of teachers seems to be the principal cause.” “The United States is carrying on two colossal experiments in educa- tion. One is to conduct its schools largely thru the services of unmarried ladies who average three years teaching before they get married. The wound is to give education without religion. The United States has yet to prove that it will succeed in either or both of these experiments.“— Prof. Simon, U. of Montana. The hardest opponent this year seems to be the “flu”, for it has kept us out of many games lately. But for it we should have played some more games, and brought home some victories. Because of the needed public precautions, it has been necessary to postpone games. The return came with Luther and the game with Concordia could not be phyed, the latter being cancelled. Our team was victorious over Con- cordin on their floor, and we felt almost certain of being able to repeat on our floor. The game with Luther will be played at a later date. A game with Vanderburgh Church was also called off. We hope. however, that the ban on public gatherings will soon be t “and. so that we may enjoy the sport again. Return games with Ma- Show less
