I may think of the long hours spent lying in some cool creek, whet-e, held in a sort ' of suspension by the cushioned medium of water, with the taste of freshly- gathered blueberries in my mouth, and the sounds of birds and squirrels. or the vaguely heard chatter of my com- panions, in my ears, I have noted the wheeling of a hawk in the mysterious far reaches of the air, or the sweeping flight of swallows along the clay banks where little dark spots indicated the en- trances to their nests, or the slow straight flight of a crow to some pine silhouetted against the white top of a far—off hill. Or I may think of the time when I found a muskrat sleeping, or when‘I crept up within reach of a little gray sand lizard, and his big, gentle, warm brown eyes made me feel friendly toward him. Memories like these smooth my temper no matter how ruffled it is, and make me feel at peace with the world, at least for the nonce. There is one more thing a young man can do when he feels out of sorts. That is usually considered the last resort. He can fall in love—there is no such thing as can't. Our editor’s February pane- gyric on the subject of love rather sur- prised us; it disappointed us not a little. Our/editor is usually quite a practical person, even when with a pen in hand. but this time he only expressed again some of the conventional platitudes, add— ing just a moiety of truth to them him— self. He must admit that at places his pen ran away with his theme. And it perhaps was a little indiscreet of him to turn our minds to the subject so early; the ranks of the Bachelor’s Club will thin out soon enough without any help. However, it's done now, and we must, boys and girls, make the best of it. Re- member, though, who did it! The Augsburg Echo It is not altogether safe to make any suggestions in regard to falling in love (hush! the editor says we don’t fall!) Also, it is questionable whether the ob- servations of the writer would be of any worth, except to himself. At any rate. expression of them would perhaps not be of benefit either to himself or to the reader. You will ask, by this time. what all this has to do with literature, why it is placed under the caption. “THE OPEN BOOK”. \Ve have been speak- ing of things which are seemingly far from the realm of 1iterature,—what con- nection have they with books? th, what is our life and all the creatures and things and movements around us, if not a literature unwritten? A litera— ture of life! How small a part of it has been written about. and how clumsy have been the attempts to tell of that! What little there is that catches any of the essence of the original! Of all the trash we read, what part does that?» Very little, certainly. The rest is coun— terfeit, with the silk threads missing. And here we have all these true and genuine things around us. in such abund- ance. Are not these things parts of a book, too? And it is an ‘open’ book; we need only turn the leaves to read; he— sides, it is being added to every day. I. C. L.—AC\VC.

Our interests are now in great measure turned from basket—ball and toward out— door games as is natural to expect now that the weather is getting so glorious. The tennis racket, croquet set, horse- shoe, and baseball are taken out of their winter—long seclusion, or else they are newly bought and spick and span from the shop, how to do duty in actual ser- vice for the training of summer sports that need to be pursued in double-quick time by our hopeful aspirants who long for other things to conquer besides op- ponents in basket—ball. I Now that the spell of winter sports Is broken, Coach S. Melby called a meet- ing March 27th for all boys interested in baseball. The writer noticed quite a few who made expectant approaches to the indomitable coach, likely cherishng fond hopes of attaining to be pitchers. Anyway that was the situation when we used to play the‘typical American game. There usually were a marked over—supply of “star pitchers” and an astonishing scarcity of fielders. We hope. hdwever, that our Coach will, now as formerly. find places in the baseball firmament for all of these potential stars so that we may have a regular team this year. \Vhen the Coach called this meeting he invited the boys only, and whether he intentionally forgot the girls or not we cannot say, but before many hours had elapsed the coeds were out playing a rousing game of their own. That they took a deal of interest in the game may well be surmised from the fact that they Show less

And later their lives were enriched by the arrival of a baby boy. Little Alf spread much cheer in the home during his short visit. Agnes, especially, found in him a source of comfort and happiness. But Providence did not intend this joy to linger very long. One cold winter’s day he was borne home to his Heavenly Father, that his parents might have their treas- ures in the mansions above. And that the heavenly magnet might have more power of attraction on Brand, the All- wise Father quietly took to His bosom Agnes, Brand’s last earthly tie. And then alone he wandered upon life’s highway, giving, giving, always giving. giving the best, and all that he had to the One he served, but clinging jealous— ly to his motto, “Nothing, or else all.” Yet, his faith in God and himself was to receive the acid test when his congregation came out to greet him, and invited him into their newly erected house of worship. Should he compro— mise with his church members, allow socials. preach part'of the truth, and let his people rule? Never! He believed, “A House new-builded asks as well, A cleansed Soul, therein to dwell.” and, “The path you pace Is too narrow for my tread.” Would that we had a multitude of men of Brand’s type to—day! That we had men who believe in serving God whole-heartedly, men who stand firmly on their convictions, and forget the ego. But this doctrine of self-abnegation was too strict for his sociable, wordly congregation. To keep their sins hid- den, they carried their faithful pastor out of the town, and maltreated him. Left alone in the mountains, bleeding in body and in soul, deprived of all earthly poSsessions and friends, this man of God clung persistently to the . to Brand‘s life. The Augsburg Echo truth for which he sacrificed so much. In those quiet mountain heights was heard a rifle shot which loosened a glacier, sending its mass of ice and snow upon a path of destruction, burying the preacher whose life's message was “No— thing, or else all.” Though the messenger passed away, yet his message keeps traveling, spurring men on to live according to their con— victions, yea, even to die for them. Perhaps the maxim, “Be sure you’re right, then go ahead” may be applied And may this also be true of us. that we be so saturated and controlled by the truth that we shall continually broadcast it, despite trials, sacrifices. persecutions, and a cold. in- different world. “Truth crushed to earth shall rise again” is a fact which we have often realized. Brand had a purpose in life, that of bringing a shiftless, lukewarm, careless people to a position of whole—hearted service to God and man. Each one of us must have some aim in life. No matter what that aim may be, let us strive to realize it. Every minute spent, every ounce of energy used to promul~ gate our true. sanctified convictions will bear fruit which will, in turn, contain an increased amount of seed, and, in the process be ever multiplying, and spreading its blessings to a world that is hungering and thirsting for the truth.

We are yet a few weeks off from the realization of such a festive sight for mind and eye. but in the meantime nothing prevents us from day-dreaming about it—and how we do dream!

Nor have the three months just crept by been 0c»- casions for orderly advance in the march of progress. There have at times been tendencies to “route-order", or even loitering by the wayside of scholarly endeavor. However, a scholar’s life is not all sunshine and play, nor is it so exceed- ingly strenuous. The little difficulties mingled with the many pleasantries will in time come t0'be forgotten or hallowed with a sheen of happy times so that we can safely look back upon school-days as some of the best moments of our life. Time softens memories and makes even the most harsh become less severe than we first conceived them to be. a: It :4: Anent scholarly work, it reminds us of the purported meaning of the Greek root of the word ‘scholar’. It seems, if we are to believe our one-upon-a—time much thumbed Greek The Augsburg Echo lexicon, which of late has become sadly neglected, that ‘scholar’ comes from the word ‘scholadzo’ (apologies for not hav— ing a Greek linotype). That word means to have leisure time; also, to be empty. The first definition makes it a mis- nomer, we are sure. Unhappily, we are unable to say the same about the second one while we keep in mind that veracity is a laudable 'virtue. Perhaps a few scholars are empty at the outset, some may long remain so, and others wish that they could so become once again, but they are. never ‘gentlemen of leisure' ‘sons of rest'. or devotees of ‘donothing- ism’. We might infer that the aspiring Greek scholars spent only a moiety of their time for productive manual labor, but were encamped in recumbent posi— tion throughout the day on Aristotle's and Plato's stoas, there to fill much space of emptiness. However, this is resultant of a rather idly speculative mind over which we have little control, and therefore the inference ought not to be taken as authentic. \Ve have found to our despair that we are not like vessels into whose empty cavities may be poured knowledge in units of measure according to the will of our instructors. If we were. we no doubt would have been brimful long ago. As it is, we just now shook our head and neither produced splash nor gurgle. *** The examinations came in a way that made us feel as certain bashful young ladies are reported to feel when they have occasion to become embarrassed and say, “Oh, this is so sudden!” We were as genuinely embarrassed at the seemingly sudden appearance of the examinations with their grim determina- tion to convince us of our imperfec~ tions and lack of learning, but, unlike Show less

He doesn’t want us to know that God says “Behold, the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world.” He wants us to behold our sin- ful lives and black hearts and he wants .to keep our gaze backward, downward and inward. Let us dispense with illu— sion No. 3, by believing God’s beautiful words to us sinners; such as, “Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out” and “The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin.” Our eternal enemy tries further to crowd out Truth by telling us that God is love and he is too merciful to con- demn us if we do the best we can. “A moral life” seems to be the substitute for a “Christian life” in this day and age. Here again comes the fallacy of substi— tuting what we ourselves can do for what Jesus at Calvary did for us. Here again we are looking inward and our eyes have lost the vision that trans- forms our innermost heart, namely the vision brought to mankind on the Cross at Calvary. Isn’t it strange that we sin- ners will look everywhere for relief from sin, except where it is to be found? Many of us will willingly live a moral life, but not a life in and with Christ who alone can give victory over all these illusions. The greatest error of all and the one holding the greatest numbers in its grasp is the idea of “to-morrow”. The saddest words we know of are “It might have been.” God forbid that any one reading this article shall be a slave to these com- mon illusions. Let us believe in our God and let Him help us overcome all these deceptions; not only help, but actually overcome them for us. The victory is The Augsburg Echo won and it is up to us to accept free and full salvation. Let us use our common sense and knowledge in dealing with these serious deceptions. Let us live normal Chris- tian lives and be happy in Jesus who takes illusions out of human lives and gives happiness, love and eternal life. What should be more natural than to believe and love our Lord who has done all for us rather than believe and serve Satan who fills human lives with false— hood and illusions? Last Monday evening, February 11, the school faculty entertained the stu— dents in a royal manner at the annual faculty reception. Professor Busby acted as host by bidding all students welcome to the reception. In the course of his remarks he delighted us by his usual display of wit and humor. Prof. S. Melby acted as spokesman of the evening. Our esteemed fellow—student, Harold Halvorson, represented the stu- dents in expressing appreciation to our teachers for what they have been doing for us and for the splendid entertain- ment of the evening. Jan. 18th was a great day for Augs- burg for it was then that our first team showed our old St. Paul rivals, Luther Seminary, how to play basket—ball.

Show moreii The Augsburg Echo EXCHANGES It has been our pleasure this month to review the February issue of The Black and Red of Northwestern College, Watertown, Wisconsin. The Black and Red is a monthly publication of more than ordinary size and of unusual merit. Among our many exchanges it is one of our favorites. Much sound wisdom is within its covers. From the second page, under the title of “Advertising and Advertising", by M. O. K., we find this epigrammatic paragraph: “Two kinds of advertising exist. The tolerable business advertising and the in— tolerable personal advertising. The for- mer has to-day become a special study as an art in our universities; the latter is of such a character that not the study, but rather the avoidance of it, is neces- sary.” Then the writer proceeds to tell in an interesting way the historic genesis of advertising from the days of ancient Greece. They had their shop signs. bill- boards. and paintings much as we have them. Later, in medieval time the crier was used both as a medium for disse— minating news and for the advertising of some new spices‘or wares which the merchant had just received from the Orient. With the advent of the print— ing press and the new industrial age men have neither time nor inclination to listen to a crier, so they have recourse to “seeing” everything in newspapers, movres etc. “Extensive and elaborate advertising is not always a sign of a superior quality of the goods advertised,” says the writer. From this it is‘but a step to his next point, which is that much of the per- sonal advertising of profesional men is needless and harmful. Finally he applies his idea to class and school advertising. He seems to be opposed to the slogan, “Put the Institution on the Map." \N’e cannot believe however that by this he means to say that he is entirely opposed to having his alma mater advertised. \Ne wish that in the near would publish another with this theme alone. clusion: “As for putting ourselves, the class, and the school on the map, let us not worry." future he article dealing He says in con- The literary department of this paper is unusually good. Especially is this true in the light of the common supposition that a school publication is the work of novices. The two short—stories are well worthy of the work of a mature mind. “Sincere Friendship” is the title of a short love story by Richard \V. Matu— schek. The title is the only thing about the whole story which directly suggests a moral lesson, but the story itself is a powerful example of the beauty of true love. It is told with such case, art. and sustained degree of interest that it would be redundant to point out the moral at the end of the story. The other short story “The Call of the Wild” by \Valdemar Rupp, while equally interesting and good, is written in a dif- ferent style. The method, mood and ef- fect is strikingly like that of the best of ZEsop’s Fables. \Ve recommend both of these stories to all of our students who can find access to them in our library. They are inspiring examples of what students can be expected to do. Show less

The great masterpieces of music constitute a similar force in the secular world. A Beethoven sonata is just as likely to be played to—night in Paris as in Berlin. Music is just as international as the air we breathe. Nations are knit to one another throughout the world by modern communication and commerce, by common economic interests, but we saw how quickly these bonds were dis- rupted in the late war. The international atmosphere was black with hatreds and imprecations. and it is none too well cleared yet. But did you notice that it was in the field of music that it first be- gan to clear? Not by the diplomatic (liscords clashing at Versailles. but by the harmonies of Beethoven, of St. Saens, of Franck. and even of Wagner and the rest was the return of peace heralded. When the papers began to notice that the nations formerly warring with each other were beginning to play each others music again. we felt cheered, as when the first woodland note signals the rising day. Where pure and noble music holds sway, the imps of hate and war cannot long poison the hearts and brains of men. I have never heard nor read of music in the realm of Hades, but this I learn from the “good boo ,” that when sin and death have been van- quished and the brotherhood and fellow- ship of those who willed to follow the way of light truth have been achieved, they will celebrate their vic- tory in song. and “You look talented." “That’s why I want my Barber : Freshman : hair cut.” NUFF SED H: “Shall I sing Tosti’s 'Good-bye’?‘ She: “1 don’t care whose you use; and never mind singing it, say it.” —Molbo.r. . “What is the longest word in the dic- tionary ?” “Rubber.

The loss of these tastes is a loss of happiness, and may possibly be in- jurious to the intellect, and more prob— ably to the moral character by enfeeb- ling the emotional part of our nature.” This is something that ought to start us thinking. Darwin's study of natural science so monopolized his interest that he found no time to cultivate the esthe— tic or emotional part of his brain on which the higher tastes depend. It meant to him a loss of happiness, and what was much more grave, it possibly in— jured his intellect, and more probably his moral character, by enfeebling the emotional part of his nature. This raises several questions in our mind. Is ex— cessive devotion to material science de- structive of the finer elements in our nature? This was Darwin’s experience. May the great vogue of natural science in modern education expose our young people to loss of happiness and probably to moral danger by enfeebling the emo- tional part of their nature? Natural science must remain in our schools. We cannot and we will not throw it over- board, for modern economic life is too deeply indebted to it; but In the light of the foregoing it is the manifest duty of educators to maintain a just proportion between the material and the spiritual by enriching our school courses with those subjects that develop the emo- tional nature of the student and thus secure for him as far as possible a har- monious development of his powers. Next to religion there is no subject that more directly ministers to the emo- ' tional nature of man, and there is no study that seems to function so quickly, so directly or 50' endurineg in life as rmsic. Wherever music has been syste- matically and efficiently taught in schools for some time, there its refining in- The Augsburg Echo fluence on the young people is clearly evident. I have personally seen how the organization of a choir in a rural com- munity has changed the manners and so— cial habits of most of the young people of that neighborhood. I have seen boys and girls where music was taught in the schools of their own initiative form mu« sical clubs, quartets and choirs. Maybe they also voluntarily formed algebra clubs, grammar guilds and Shakespeare circles, but I have not heard of any. Now, a school study that will function on the play-ground as well as in the school-room, in seasons of joy and in hours of sorrow, is a most precious thing, for to do this it must have pene- trated deeply into our consciousness and must possess enduring value—it must be said to function in life. Besides functioning in the life of the individual by affording him an oppor~ tunity for useful and pleasurable self— expression, music possesses very high so— cial value. This fact is so obvious to all of you that to offer proof is almost to insult your intelligence. Who doubts the social value of the school Chorus? Why do armies march and fight to the strains of music? \Vhy do nations cher- ish their national songs? \\'hy is the orchestra ordered to play when a panic threatens aboard a ship? When that ill-fated vessel was going down in nllll- Atlantic, pierced by the enemy’s tor- pedo, we are told how the noise and screams of frantic men and women in the face of certain death calmed down and subsided as the strains of Nearer, My God, to Thee floated over the decks of the sinking ship, and the hush of prayer fell upon the tragic scene. Men often disagree on religious doctrine, and the bond of fellowship should unite those who invoke the same God has often snapped, but they frequently which Show less

A misleading image is presented to our minds in an illusion. When we stand on a railroad track. we are quite con- vinced that the rails meet and come to a point yonder in the distance. But our common sense and better knowledge re- licvc us from the power of illusions and hallucinations in this case. Now the questions arise: Do we use cmnmon sense and our knowledge in dealmg with much more serious decep- tions in life. than the one just referred to? that keep human beings from living the normal L‘hristian lives that our God in- tended we should live? What are some of the deceptions Satan has millions of devices for fill- ing our hearts with illusions and false- llmul. He knoWs that sin has blurred our understanding so that we cannot by our own strength see Truth. He knows that “prevention is better than cure" and so he concentrates his efforts on prevent- ing us from taking the step from the world back to God. The devil knows that that one step will put an end to illusions, misconceptions, and follies. Let us briefly consider a few of the illusions by which our lives are bound before con- version. When a lost sinner sees his actual condition he begins to seek relief and re- fuge. Salvation while it is day, becomes his crying need. But Satan is also a psychologist and knows that this is the time to prevent salvation. He fills the poor human heart with deceit and sorts of illusions. The first thought that comes I) a poor sinner at such a decisive bottle is the one relative to ridicule and criticism of friends. People who ridicule the sol- vation of souls do not deserve the name of friends. as our friends are anxious and happy in our welfare. These people that ridicule the greatest thing on earth, namely personal salvation, do not know what they are doing. Let us learn from our Teacher. jeans. how to deal with these people. When He hung on the Cross He said. “Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do." Let us dispense with illusion No. l, remem- bering Luke 9:26, “Whosoever shall be ashamed of me and my words, of him shall the Son of Man be ashamed." [f Satan sees that this first illusion is losing ground he will tell us that Chris- tians are so inconsistent and that no one can possibly measure up to what God expects, so there is not much use in try- ing. This inconsistency of profeuing . Christians is used as an argument to con- vince the poor lost soul that others are responsible for his soul’s condition and that God cannot expect him to change until conditions about him change. 0 “come let us reason together" and let us read Rom. 14:12. “Everyone of us shall give an account of himself to God.” Let us underline the pronoun “himself” and remember that it is singular in number. A third illusion that attacks as is that we are so hopelessly sinful that the God of Holiness and Purity cannot accept as as His children until we improve. Satan Show less

It is in a distinct class by itself, and possesses that beauty of nature that refreshes the soul and mind. It summons the poet’s great- est powers, and invites him to paint in his mind and reflect in his imagination the wondrous truths expressed as the Master Artist painted them. Bliss Car- man very beautifully expresses Spring in his poem, “Spring’s Sarabandz" “Over the hills of April With soft winds hand in hand, Impassionate and dreamy-eyed, Spring leads her saraband. Her garments float and gather And swirl along the plain, Her cloak the silver rain. With color and with music With perfumes and with pomp, By meadowland and upland, Through pasture, wood and swamp. With promise and enchantment, Leading her mystic mine, She comes to lure the world anew With joy as old as time." Spring calls us to awake. and lures us from our apathy by her clear, balmy weather, her cool inviting winds, and warm sunshine. She is nature’s re- juvenation, and all the world awaits her advent. She is a cure for all ills, and in our saddest and weariest moods, she beckons to us and drives away those things which oppress us and weigh down upon us. Spring is the very elixir of life. One of the first signs of spring is the notes of the robin. But I think these notes are oftentimes sad. Generally the robins sing before a rain storm, and as I think of the murmuring brooks, I often feel that they are not only babbling, but underneath their surface lies a deep undercurrent of seriousness that would be well for humanity to realize. We are not to understand by this that Spring is only a time for sadness. N0. Mingled with this strain is the joy that comes at birth. As Spring blossoms out from her infancy and unfolds herself, crowning the hills and meadowlands with carpets of green velvet, bedecked with gayly— colored flowers, we naturally imbibe the joy she holds forth, and our souls sing Show less
