A total abstinence society has existed for many years and has done much to foster the Christian temperance work that is carried on so actively and successfully throughout the Northwest. A missionary society was organized in 1885. It has awakened among the students a remarkable interest in both home and foreign missions. Within a few years five missionaries have gone to Madagascar and one to China. Several are now preparing to enter the mission field. The work at home has not been neglected, how- ever, as Sunday schools are now conducted by it and prayer meetings are held regularly in places where the needs are urgent. RELIGIOUS EXERCISES Are essential to the spiritual welfare of a school. And Augsburg Seminary has provided for these. Morning prayers are held in the Seminary Chapel every week day, led by one of the professors. On Saturday the services include a sermon. Numerous prayer meetings are arranged by the students. The day’s work closes with devotional exercises in the students’ rooms. It can be said with reason that the “Word of Christ dwells with us richly.” Show less

In 1872 the school was moved from Marshall, Wis, to Minneapolis, Minn, where it has since continued its work at its present location, corner of 21st Avenue S. and 7th Street. The aim of Augsburg Seminary is to educate earnest and eflicient ministers, by leading the young men, pre- paring for the ministry into a living and spiritual know- ledge of the word and works of God, keeping always in View, that ministers in a free church are not and should not be a caste, separate from the believers, but Christian workers trained for their calling in religious institutions, where intellectual work and devout prayer and practical exercise combine to produce the best possible results. Since the discussion caused by the disagreement in the United Church has made the principles of Augsburg Seminary in regard to education of ministers, better understood, the Seminary has prospered more than ever and it comes before its friends and supporters, rejoicing because it can say truly that its greatest need just now is more room for its pupils and its daily work.
