The Gusties set out to make a run- away race of it, taking a seven point lead at the outset, and increasing it to ten in a few minutes. At half time they enjoyed a 20-5 lead, mainly through the shooting of Stapleton and Algie Johnson. The Auggies who missed no end of shots in the first half, found a better pace in the second period to make a fight of it. The Auggies outscored the Gusties in this period but the 15 point margin was too big a handi- cap to overcome. “Lute” Mona, held to one point in the first half, con- trihutcd three field goals to the Aug- gic cause, but Rube Youngdahl, great Gustic center, woke up and dropped in three goals for the “Swede” cause. Stank-ton. playing his last confer- ence game for the Gusties, tossed in four lit-Id goals and played an excel- lent floor game to carry off laurals for the St. Peter team. Youngdahl was high point man for the Gustavus quint with 11 points, while Mona’s three field goals antl a free throw gave the same distinction to Augsburg. Gcorge Kolesar played a good game on both offense and (le- fonso, while “Hank” Anderson did more than his Share in blocking the Gustlu Shots. “Syd Says” At last it has hit Augsburg.

Alice Johnson and Agnes Hagen sang a duet. The program concluded with a violin trio. Lunch was served by the hostesses, Agnes and Petra Hagen and Alice The freshmen, sophomores and seniors are all tied for second place with two defeats and one victory, while the juniors have a perfect rec- ord. The seniors, former champions, although coached by “Lion” Rortvedt, have not shown the form of previous years, although they have a strong aggregation that will be dangerous when they start clicking. They scored their first victory Monday night over the sophomores, mainly through the shooting of Erling Chris- tianson. The sophomores, under the direc- tion of coaches "Terry" Hanson, Al- Jonnmn- bert Knutson, and “Haak” Anderson, — nosed out the freshmen in their open- “Midget” Cagers Win er, but were bumped off by the _ juniors and seniors. From Minnehaha 22-20 The freshmen. coached solely by "Chuck" Retrum, dropped their opener to the sophs, came back strong to wallop the seniors, but were nosed out in a hectic battle by the juniors. The juniors have proven that they are no flash in the pan by taking three consecutive games, although they were forced to play four over- time periods before they nosed out the freshmen. After a losing streak of five games, the spirited Academites upset Min- nehaha Academy of Minneapolis in a thrilling basketball encounter, 22— 20, on the latter’s floor. Saturday. February 7. Iverson, captain and guard, was the outstanding performer, accountr ing for fourteen points for the Aug» gies. Oren, Merseth, and Risdahl rer gistered the other baskets. Oudal and I. Anderson also deserve mention. The score at the end of the first half was a 15—15 tie, and through- out the game the score was a bal- anced one. As a result, there was a three minutes over-time play. A few seconds before the gun sounded, Iver- son sank a long field goal, winning the game for the Auggies. This was an excellent game from all angles, with the star trainer of the varsity squad, “Emer” pitted against the wiles of the Ver- satile Rinde in the feature attrac- tion. Superior intelligence and play- ing knowledge, aided by the foul shooting of “Wolf” Thies finally en~ abled the juniors to win. Student Volunteers Meet At Hamline U. (Continued from page I) the Christian Message Meet the Hu- man Needs Today In the Orient'.’ In Russia! In South America?" The less civilized countries have looked and are still looking to the Occident for the solution to their problems. Dr. Paul L. Grove, for fifteen years missionary in Korea, spoke on “Face ing Missionary Problems with the Christian Message." Miss Gertrude Hilleboe gave an ad dress on “How We As Students Can Meet the Human Needs with the Christian Message." In the three short words of Jesus, “It is finished" lies the hope of the world, said Miss Hilleboe. Dr. Eugene C. Hickman gave the Sunday morning address, speaking on “The Macedonian Call to the Church Sunday afternoon on the theme, “The Macedonian Call to Me." This call comes from the world—it is a cry for help in its great need. Death is the greatest problem. The sting of sin is death. Only Christianity can take the sting out of death. Only Christ and His Gospel can solve the prob- lem of death. Therefore. the call comes to the Christian world for help.

The outcome of this encounter sent ‘the St. Olaf squad down the ladder .a law rungs and the Auggies success- .tully overthrew one of the biggest obstacles in the remainder of the sea- son’s schedule. Though doped to lose by a slight margin, Augsburg came ‘through to take the spectacular fray handily from the former champs. The game was featured lw one of .the wildest second halves in the con- ference this season. The files forced the Auggies to speed up the game and as a result the Mill City men drove in for numerous short shuts under the basket. Though they missed a large number they connected often enough to rmin the lead which they gained in the early moments of the second period. {Continued on page 4) Mission Study Group Hears Rev.

It was pointed out that a rather intricate irrigation system had been periected by the natives in many places. , The posib ties for mission work in Madagascar are great, said Rem} Vaagenes. but the means are ilsuf- ficient to meet the needs. Many more missionaries could be used in the Lutheran Free Church field if the funds were available. This should be a challenge to every Christian to do his part in the greatest of all enter— prises—that of foreign mission work. The speaker also stated that the mis- sionaries coveted the prayers of the Christians at home and urged that the members of the Mission Group at Augsburg remember the mission work in Madagascar in prayer.

Christensen concluded his first series of ten lectures on neg- lected books of the Bible on Wednes- day evening, Feb. 4, at which time he discussed the Epistle of Paul to the Colossiaus. Paul wrote this epistle while in prison at Rome. He had time to think and received visions which he set forth in his epistles. In Colosaians he pictures the glory of Christ. This epistle was written to the church at Colossm hue-use it was in danger of Judaism. angelavorship, and certain forms of asceticinn. Therefore, the epistle points out very clearly that there is only one mediator between God and man. Christ is the only mediator. The epistle points out that the pur- pose of all things is to glorify Jesus Christ. Nations or persons who fail to do this will perile Christ is to have preeminence in all things. “Christ liveth in me" was the key Cho:al Society To Give Silver Tea Feb. 17 Proceeds To Go To Minne- sota-So.

It costs fifteen cents to have a tailor press one's trousers so he was going to do it himself. But the iron got a little too hot and burned a hole through everything in- cluding the ironing board, and started a fire that was more bark than bite, meaning mostly smoke. Andy grab- bed a milk bottle and tried to put out the source of the smoke, but finally had to resort to H 20. Andy missed English, but he handed in a slip which laconically ex- m Paul's life.

His poetry is exquisitely beautiful and artistic, it exalts the highest type of human lovo, and it glorifies God. Dr. Christensen stressv ed the fact that all might profitably study Thompson‘s book of poems to learn more of beauty, love, and or God. Doris Nilsen and Markus Hal» ling each sang a number of solos. A delicious lunch was served as a climax to the pleasant and profitable evening.

Taking pity on the creature he tore a hole in the cocoon. The lad expected the butterfly would appreciate this aid and would at once fly about and enjoy its new found liberty. But the pretty insect flapped its wings a little, and in a short time died. A certain amount of ex- ercise was necessary to strengthen the wings of the insect before it reached the outside world where it must have strong muscles to tight for its existence. Nature had provided for this. Being deprived of this activity it died. In the lives of individuals it is equally true that the very ob- stacles one seeks to be free from are the means of developing character and fitting one for future tasks that require the utmost strength of mind and body. Somehow nature has provided for this struggle. Any unnatural method whereby the severity of tho conllict is lessened defeats its own purpose and weakens the individual concerned. History abounds with examples of those sucking short cuts to success who have failed. But on the pages of history one also finds recorded the achievements of those who have made obstacles stepping-stones to success. The degree of honor due a person is in proportion to the obstacles he has over— come. Without question the undying glory surrounding the name of Lincoln is due to the fact that he rose from obscurity. con- stantly humiliated by failures, yet determined to win, he fought bravely on, and in the course of time reached the goal he strove for. But his work had then just begun. As a youth he made a vow that he would put a stop to the slave trade if it were within his power to do so. As the President of the nation he faced a tremendous cl'is' . But many long years of struggle had pre- pared him for this momentous occasion. He was equal to the situation. llis path of duty was plain. In the conflict which clisuuil he did not fail. he did not falter. And from that strumzle a nation nus horn. destined to be one of the greatest in the histo v of the world. The idea of the right of secession and the cur se of slavery \\'k'l'\‘ abolished. and the union was preserved. Not only has Lincoln‘s name become immortal. but also the name of Washington. In his battles against a foreign ruler, handicapped by lack of funds alid equipment and a large army, Washington fought with his handful of men against great odds. Although often defeated, he never lost hope. Deep within his soul 'was an ideal. Tremendous difficulties sought to eclipse that ideal. But in the conflict a great character was being moulded which became the Father of our nation. uniting the thirteen colonies under one flag and under one leader. In remembering particularly this month the birthdays of the two outstanding Americans, one cannot forget the millions of struggling individuals that never reach such heights in the life of a nation. but who nevertheless deserve praise and honor for their courage and fortitude and their unyielding determination to reach their goal in spite of personal or environmental handi- caps. Out of that struggle are being moulded characters with vision and ideals and a purpose, so necessary to the healthy life of any nation. Looking toward those who have achieved great things in the past as our ideals, those who have overcome tremend- ous difiiculties and have won, such men spur one on to transform seeming defeat into victory, and encourage one to fight on to realize a definite goal in life, even though one must die in the at- tempt to reach it. —C.

The staff has always been willing to cooperate with the faculty. and the many student urzunimtions on the campus to advertise _coming events and thereby contribute to their success. and also to give a fair account of the‘events in its columns. The stsfl‘ has not limited its field of interest to activities on the Augsburg campus alone. but news from other schools. and from the churchss of our city has been published.

This was the 106th concert that the Club has given in its 36 years of operation in the city of Minneapolis. 0 American students need no longer journey to Europe for a thorough musical education. Their own coun- try now harbors the best musical schools in the world. “I have been impressed once again by the facilities which exist in this country for those who want to study music," writes Alexandra Kropotkin. “It is now much easier to get u musi- cal education in America than it is in Europe. “Not only do we have many of the best foreign teachers in this country now; the general level of teaching in music schools here is also higher than it is abroad. Trained entirely in this country, Rose Ponselle of the Metro- politan Opera presents a splendid proof of America’s musical maturity. “Also America outstrips Europe completely in the matter of assistance given to opt pupils who have little or no money for tuition. While talent is left entirely to its own resources at any European conservatory all the music schools of this country extend some sort of financial help.: “Tribute is paid to the orchestras of this country by Henry Prunieres, the well known French critic. He has declared that our big Philhar- monic and other symphony orchestras are so superior to the best in Europe that ‘comparison is out of the ques- tion‘." Sophomorically Speaking The Fresh aren't superstitious; in fact, they predict that Friday the thirteenth will be a lucky day. s Augsburg students are optimists. Witness the daily jam at the mail- boxes after chapel. u Advice to prospective pedagogues: Don’t say, “I’m here to help you; that’s what I'm paid for”—be or- iginal.

Feb. 3rd at East Hall. Entertainment was fur- nished by the Senior Quartet which consists of Markus Halling, Olaf Hole land, Clayton Morgan, and Philip Morgan with Howard Halvorsen as accompanist. The bulk of the even- ing was spent in playing games after which lunch was served. Mr. and Mrs. Paulson and Miss Gerda Mortensen were faculty guests. a Mr. James Kaupm'ig of Luther Seminary, St. Paul, spoke in chapel Monday. Feb. 2. concerning the Stu- dent Misionsry Conference that was held at Hamline University and Ham- line Methodist Episcopal Church. Among the Alumni Theodore Blegen, ’10 Dr. Theodore Blegen was born on the Augsburg block in what is now known as West Hall in 1891. His father, J. H. Blegen, was an instruc» tor at Augsburg during that time. After spending a year in the acade- my, Dr. Blegeri graduated in 1906 and received his B. A. degree in 1910. He continued to study at the University of Minnesota and received his M. A. degree in 1915 and his Ph. D. degree in 1925. His thesis was based on American history, as his special interest has been in that par- ticular field. Dr. Blcgen was head of the history department at Humline University for seven years and since 1927 he has been an associate profes- sor of history at the University of Minnesota. During these years of studying and teaching, Dr. Blegen has published innumerable articles, reports, transla- tions and magazines on Canadian- American relations, administration of public archives, and the history of immigration to the United States. In 1918 he published a report on public archives. His translation of Ryn- ning‘s True account of America in 1926 aroused his interest in that great westward movement and Min- nesota especially. This little book was written in Illinois by a Norwegian immigrant. In 1927 he published his translation of Peter Teslnian’s ac- count of his Experiences in America which had been written in Norway in 1839. For a number of years he has been editor of the Minnesota History, a quarterly magazine and managing editor of the Norwegian-American Hstorical Magazine. He has pube lishcd articles in the Mississippi Val- ley Historical Review, Wisconsin Magazine of History, and several others. This sprian Dr. Blcgen in- tends to publish a book which he has written entitled, Norwegian Immi- gmlion (Ind m Background. This publication is based on his discoveries while abroad and on material found in this country. In 1922, Dr. Blegen received a fel- lowship from the Guggenheim Memo- rial Foundation in New York to go abroad. He accepted this fellowship and went to Norway to search for material pertaining to Norwegian im- migration. Most of this material consisted of Norwegian letters which the early settlers had writh and sent to their friends in Norway. Dr. Blegen believes that the history of im- migration has to be dealt with as an international subject. It must be explored from the old and present point of view. He received much co- operation from the Norwegian pess— ants and found letters dating back to 1830-40. Dr. Blegen was married to Miss Clara Woodward in 1916, and two children have been born to them, Theodore W. and Margaret J. At present Dr. Blegen‘s chief in- terest lies in promoting the study of the history and background of our own state in such a way that the peo— ple will be more able to understand its development. Lutlnrd Gjerde was elected editor— in-cbief of the Augsburgian stafi' at a studean society meeting last Thurs- day. Norman i‘lsgsud was elected businas manager.

Macalester Bows To Auggie Attack 20-11 Close Guarding Holds Each Team To Four Field Goals The Augsburg basketeers snatched their third conference victory in as many starts, tripping an undefeated Macalester quint 20-11 January 17 on the latter's floor. The game was cioscr than the score might indicate though the Aug- gies had possession of the ball most of the time, but to little advantage, being forced to shoot from diflicult angles as a result of close guarding by the Mac defense. The Auggies also made shooting difficult for the Macmen and each team was held to four lowly field goals, Augsburg vic- tory emerging via the free throw route. Mona again took high point honors to retain the honors as conference high scorer. Though he was held to two field goals he took advantage of the free throws given him, sinking five out of six for a total of nine points. Mona was pretty well covered all evening, but he forced his guards to foul him frequently as he broke for the basket. Captain Rortvedt rt‘til'ed the other two field goals and also three gift shots to take second scoring honors with seven points. Converting 12 out of 15 free throws into points as compared with 3 out of 14 for Macalester the Auggics were able to triumph by almost a double score. Only three of the eight Aug- gie entries were able to score, Jacob- :on being the third, sinking four free shots.

The St. Paul men were the fourth victims of the energetic Aug- gie quint to place Augsburg two full games in front of the second place Gusties. The game was marred by unclean guarding, poor shooting and poor passing. The small court bewildered the Auggie attack and they were un— able to function in a manner equal to that of their earlier performances. However. Augsburg piled up an early lead that was never seriously threat» ened. Rortvedt, towering Auggie center. was high scorer of the evening. mak- ing the most of his superior altitude. sinking several shots under the bas- ket while heavily guarded. Lute Mona thrilled the crowd with three consecutive counters from the center of the court early in the game to give his mates an early lead. but from this point on he was so closely guarded he was hardly free to run about the floor. He was held to seven points, the lowest score he has had this sea- son. George Kolesar also slipped through the tight Piper defense to score several times. Cosgrove and Larson were the out» standing men on the Hamline team, collecting '7 and 9 points respec- tively, almost the entire total points.

He attended the academy, college and seminary at Augsburg, receiving his B. A. degree in 1913 and his C. T. degree in 1916. Immediately after is ” from the ' l seminary, Dr. Mortensen made a trip abroad to Norway where he studied for a year at the University of Oslo and Menighetsfakultetet. He returned to America and continued to study at Hartford Theological Seminary, Hart- ford, Conn, Where he received his Master of Sacred Theology degree in 1918. That same year he was mar» ried to Miss Petra Helland, daughter of Prof. Andreas Helland. In August, 1918, he left with his wife for China after having received a call from the Lutheran Board of Missions. In order to acquaint him- self with the language, he studied at the language school at Peking and graduated with honors. From 19197 21 he carried on evangelistic work at Kweiteh, Honan, China. In 1921 he returned to America due to illness in the family. He accepted a charge at La Crosse, Wis., where he served as pastor for four years. The intense desire to serve the cause of Christ in the mission work in China caused Dr. Mortensen to spend two years of intensive study at Hartford Theological Seminary. His field of research was the Chinese lan- guage and literature. He received his Dr. Ralph from the European languages into the Chinese. Dr. Mortensen was then called by the Board of Missions to go to China and help further this great work. The Mortensens left in Feb- ruary. 1930 for Hankow, where he be- came acting manager of the publish- ing company known as the Lutheran Board of Publications, while the man- ager is at home on furlough. At the same time he is preparing himself for active literary work. REPAIRING while you wait CARL E. TILLMAN The Shoe Rcblliidor oem momma» ion ense work. .

Dr. Brusendorf. professor of Eng- lish at the Copenhagen university and visiting professor of Scandina- vian literature at the Minnesota university. lectured. He is one of the world's foremost authorities on Chau- cer. His topic was “Modern Religious Trends in Europe." He briefly re- viewed the history of intellectual con- ception of Christianity as far back as 1880. or in the range of the speaker's own experience. “The intellectual side of religion is fully as important as the emotional side of it and there need be no contradiction between the two. Scientists, especially physicists. today find the Darwin explanation of the Universe insufficient. A sane in- terpretation must take into consider- ation a personal God. There is no conflict between a true interpretation of science and religion, is the prevail- ing opinion of the best minds in Europe today." said Dr. Brusendorf. After the lecture. the meeting was open for discussion. Dr. Sverdrup emphasised the fact that truth does not contradict itself. whether in the field of science. philosophy. or re- ligion. Rev. Burntvodt said that after all. Christ is the outstanding solution to all our problems. This was a special meeting with the ‘ b laculty as hosts. Out of town pamrs were also present.

Christensen lectured on Paul’s Epistle to Philemon at the Bible study hour held Wednesday evening, January 14, and an 2nd and 3rd John on January 21. Kenneth Johnson gave a vocal solo at the first lecture and the Augsburg Choral Society sang two songs at the latter. The Epistle to Philemon reveals the power of the Gospel to save a wicked runaway slave. It shows how tactful and faithful Paul was in re conciling Onesimus and Philemon by the Writing of this epistle. This shows the importance of Christian letter-writing. “It is also one of the highest forms of developing your soul life and personality,” said Dr. Christensen. He also pointed out that the reclaiming of men out of sin is more interesting than watching movies—watching men fall into sin.

Welsh. guidance and place nient officer of the Indian Field Serv- ice. spoke in chapel on the status of the Indians in America today, dwell- ing on their mode of living, pensions, and education. Mr. Welsh’s territory includes Michigan. Wisconsin. Min- nesota. North Dakota, South Dakota and Iowa, with headquarters in Min— neapolis. The present day “first—Americans" live on reservations. The Red Lake reservation is owned by the Indians and protected by the government. The three thousand Indian inhabitants are entirely self-supporting and a de- gree of ambition can be attributed to them for the well organized fish in- dustry they have built up. Last year it is Said to have netted $90,000. In 1905 the Indians legally became Minnesota citizens, with the right to own their lands. The United States spends a Vast amount of money each year to care for the Indians. In Minnesota last year the expenditures totalled $6722,- 000. Indians past sixty years of age, and those who are unable to work, receive a monthly allotment for food. Education is a great necessity now lacking among the red race. Mr. Welsh stated that it was time for the Minnesota government to cooperate withV'the feds—Ell government in an educative program. The Indians must be taught to compete with the whites and thui?‘-.Voheols must be so organized as to be on a par with other schools. There is, however, progress being made among the Indians for this year there are 3100 boys and girls in public schools having their tuition paid by the federal guvcl'm ment. The Indians are more in need of religious training and this important factor cannot br- ignored. This is a direct challenge to an institution such as Augsburg. The help of all the stale citizens is needed to lit-tier the conditions among the Indians.

Pep Band Reorganizes With New Recruits Efforts Made To Join With Mac Band In Home Game After being dormant for a period following the football season, the Pep Band has reorganized and is working whole-heartedly in support of the basketball team. With a number of new recruits, the band is taking strides toward useful- ness under the energetic direction of Crscell Johnson. In a body the band has accompanied the team both to Macalester and Hamline. A splendid bit of sportsmanship was shown by the Macalester Pep Band when they gave up their seats and music stands in favor of the Auggie Band at Mac- alester. They also joined with the Auggie band with a substantial and much-needed bass section. Eflorts are being made to join the two bands when the Mac team holds its return engagement. At the Hamline game Howard Halvorsen and Arnold Oren played accordion and piano solos at the popular demand of the crowd. (Continued on page 2) President Of Minnesota U.

How many of us realize the truth of these words spoken by the Roman sage, Mar- cus Aurelius? Is it not true that we are today where our thoughts have brought us, and that we will he in the future where our thoughts shall take us? We all know through experience that some happiness depends upon our state of mind. When we have been wronged or our feelings have been hurt in any way—it is thinking of these things that makes us unhappy. How many characters are there not in literature who have gone to destruction because of the vengeful or jealous thoughts which they have harboured against their fel- low men! But our thinking is not limited so that we can see only the dark and unhappy side of life. We can be optimists as well as pessimists. A cynic becomes a cynic through his habit of think- ing. Our thoughts can guide us so that we can experience great joy and happiness in life. A life that is kindly, wholesome, cour- ageous, and noble is inevitably made so by habits of thinking. “For thought," as Emerson said, “is the seed of action." To us who are ostudents, as well as to all people, there is no better counsel that can be given in regard to thought than that spoken by St. Paul, when he says, “Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, what- socvcr things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” ——M. S. Inter-class Enthusiasm Class spirit a thing which is easily acquired. We are na- turally enthusiastic over the things with which we are directly concerned. We cheer lustily at our class games and we put in many hours of work in order to put on a good class program. In fact, each class is determined to have the very best program. Clearly there is no need for an appeal for enthusiasm in this line. That which is perhaps a bit more difficult for us to acquire is inter-class enthusiasm. To attend the production of another class or to patronize another organization’s doughnut sale is not so clearly our duty. Two excellent examples of this sort of enthusiasm were shown in the silver tea given by the theological students and the recent sophomore program. Both of these functions were very well at- tended. The juniors and the freshmen are planning programs. The academy students are preparing for the presentation of “Pil- grim‘s Progress.” Other organizations will be arranging activx- ties in which we may all take part. Each group is doing its very best to offer us something worth-while and interesting. Let us give them our whole—hearted support! When our inter—class enthusiasm is at low ebb and we are tempted to deny our support to the activitles of another class, let us apply the golden rule, remembering that they are Just as eager for our help and appreciation as we are for theirs.

Bern- ard Shaw’s Candida was the topic of discussion. The play was first discussed by the members in an informal manner, at- tention centering chiefly on the char- acters. Candida, who is the personi~ fication of candidness, Marchbanks’ and Prossy, the old maid, were the favorites. Parts of the play were dramatized to bring out the main traits of the characters.

Russia Is Studied By Mission Study Group Reports Are Given By Olive Esping And Ingvald Norum The Mission Study Group continued its study of the present conditions in Russia at its regular meeting held January 21. Reports were given by Olive Esping and Ingvnld Norum, and a vocal solo wns rendered by Ole Olson. Russia is endeavoring to carry on an extensive educational program in an attempt to decrease the illiteracy of the people. As a result, thousands of men and women have learned to read and write during the last few years, Special emphasis is laid on the education of children. However, the fact that the Russian people have not been able to distinguish capitalv ism from Christianity, makes the Russian education hostile to Chris~ tianity. Sylvia Nelson and Ann Peterson have been appointed to act as the program committee for the second quarter. Among the visitors on the campus over the week-end were Rev. and Mrs. Hortense: of Fm, and Vem Walnud, ’29, of Alenndrin.

Confucianism is not a religion. ac- cording to Dr. Andreassen. It is rather a system of ethics. The peo- ple do not worship Confucius. They hold him in reverence because he gave them their rules of social propriety. The speaker told of a visit to the great temple of Confucius near Shantung. The grave of this great teacher is situated near the temple. The religions of China are Budd- hism, Taoism, and ancestor-worship. Dr. Andreussen told of the many gods and evil spirits which the Chinese worship and fear. They have no idea of a God whom they could love.

Christensen Lectures 0n Philemon (Continued from page 1) “Cling to the true doctrine” is the special message in 2nd John. We should not be so anxious to progress that we leave Christ behind. There are some things that do not change. The soul needs the same food today as it did nineteen hundred years ago, even though the form of presenting it may have changed a little. “Learn gratitude and friendship from 3rd John," said the speaker. Gnius is an example of n kind friend and host of disciples. Diotrephes is a domineering deacon, and Demetrius is a faithful evangelist. We must cling to the fact that Je- sus Christ is the Savior who came in the flesh. It is not enough to have a pure doctrine; you must also do good and not evil, according to the Apostle John.

Sun (The following article by Mrs. Starr tails of some of the interating tiling she observed while studying England last year. Mrs. Starr will write on other phases of her visit in isms.) of the gratest joys that I have experienced since my return to foreign housing conditions that you are in a proper position to appreciate the blessings which accompany the “small houses" of America. There is no greater single difference be- tween American cities and towns and English or French cities and towns than the presence of the small separv. ate house in the one and its complete ‘ absence in the other. I shall there- fore, at this time, attempt to picture for you the way in which the masses are housed in England. The same situation is true of France but in a slightly lesser degree. London presents a more pleasing appearance than that of any other city of England. It is the capital and the business and shopping center of the whole island. It has. therefore, a liner and more extensive business center than any other city of the British Isles. The residence sections are also finer than that of any other city. because every Englishman of any social position Wishes to spend a part of the year in London—hence, if he can possibly afford it. he occu» pies a London residence. But in Lon» don one can find every type of hous- ing condition known to the British Isles. For the purpose of this dis» cussion London may be divided into two parts—first. the area within a radius of two or three miles of the heart of the shopping center, and second. the portion of the city which lies beyond such a radius. In the congested part of the city all the houses are built to a height of three or {our stories, all are set directly upon the sidewalk. and the sidewalls 0! one touch those of its neighbors. A block. even in well-to-do residential districts. is formed by two long brick walls, one on either side of the street. broken only by doors and windows. One house looks Very like all the others in its block, and one block looks very like another. No. 10 Downing Street is no exception. The “kitchen- door” is not in the rear of the house. but is placed directly beneath the main entrance. It is reached by opening a gate in the iron~grilling and descending a flight of stone steps. Such houses may or may not have a “garden” in the rear depending upon the economic status of their occu- pants and the portion of the city. The "garden" is usually very tiny. It has a little grass, perhaps a syca- more tree or plain tree as the Eng- lish say. and it may have a few pieces of garden furniture. It is shut off from View by a high stone wall. It has no gate to connect it with the outer-world and nine-tenths of the year is a very dismal spot. English- men of moderate means. including college professors, live in such houses as these. The working classes are far less fortunate for they cannot afiord the expense of living far from their work. Hence. they must live in more crowded conditions. The houses in which they live are built in the same manner as the former. but each house is much narrower. Or, it may be made still smaller by being built as a "hack-whack." The latter looks lika an ordinary house to outward ((kntinued. page 4) LARSON STUDIO moroclurnsas cm can use smear Rev. T. 0. Burntvedt Addresses Students Speaking on the subject of The Lutheran Free Church and its prin- ciples. Rev. '1'. 0. Burntvedt Stated at the student assembly on October 27. that “there is an awakening faith in the task given it." The chief concern of the Lutheran Free Church is that the Kingdom of God may become a spiritual force in the lives of the individual members. “No man or woman can take his or her place in life until they have been someway or somehow connected up with the Source of all life." said Rev. Burntvedt. Alumni of Augsburg Gather at Banquet (Continued from page 1) thc Future of the Christian College. pointed out that all schools were Christian to begin with. Martin Luther originated the public school system. He showed how some 0! the larger colleges of today had been Christian when founded but were now absolutely the contrary. Prof. Fosse pointed out the need of the Christian college in order to save the church for the youth of today. "The light of the past is the light of the future" said Prof. Hendrick- son in speaking on the Future of the Christian College. The young people of today do not see the need of the Christian college. “The future of the Christian college depends on the alumni." said Prof. Hendrickson. We have responsibility not only to our- selves, not only to our school. but to the entire world. It is up to the alumni to hold high the ideals of their Alma Mater. If we live in the truth there is a future. The last toast of the evening was given by Dr. Sverdrup. He related some of the interesting points per- taining to his visit at Luther College. Decorah. Iowa. during the 70th anni- versary celebration of the school. He drew a comparison between Luther College and Augsburg. showing how the two schools had started out with the same aim in View. "Their mot- tos go beautifully together." said Dr. Sverdrup. Fidelity to the present is a guarantee of the future. The banquet was brought to a close with the singing of the Augsburg song. Wednesday Evening Lectures Continued (Continued from page I) In taking up the study of the Acts. 01‘. Christensen pointed out that there is no break between the Gospels and the Book of Acts. The same spirit prevails throughout. because the aim of the Acts is to tell of the continuation of the work of Jesus and His apostles. The theme is, “the Church witnessing and telling the story of Jesus with power," The lectures are so arranged that those who wish to make a study of the Book of Acts are given study hints and guidance in the study of the book. 10m“: Geneva 1215 . ‘Res.: Atlantic 2908 ESTABLISHED 1899 ‘ Dr. C.

Pastor of Trinity Church and a graduate of Augsburg College. who gave his tes- timony on the gifts that Augsburg has given to him. Wednesday Evening Lectures Continued The Wednesday evening Bible Lec- tures on the “Faith and Life of the Early Christians", conducted by Dr. B. M. Christensen under the auspices of the Theological Faculty, were con- tinued October 21. and 28. Vocal solos were rendered by Arnold Hel— seth and Eleanor Jerstad. Dr. Christensen portrayed the background of the early Christian Chunh. depicting the Greek, Hellen- istic. Roman. and Jewish elements which it bad talus. All of these forces made distinct contributions to Christianity and helped to pave the way for its rapid progress At the same time, the early Chriginis had to be on gmrd lest Christianity be and-Int fit all. - (continued. page 3) A Tribute A familiar figure has left a vacant place in our classrooms and halls, on our football field, our basket-ball floor, and baseball diamond. Harold Anderson came to Augs- burg as a junior in the academy in 1927. At that time he proved his skill in basketball, so that when he entered college in the fall of 1929 he was immediately placed on the bas- ket~ball squad. Here he proved his ability in co-operating and his accu— racy in passing. He could always be relied upon to do his best. But Harold was not only interested in this one phase. of sports, he had a healthy interest in them all. His football training as a substitute for two years enabled him to gain a posi- tion as guard on the regular team. Here, too. as in basketball, he de- monstrated his athletic prowess. Then we must not forget his love of baseball and the zeal with which he played during the spring of 1930. Good as he undoubtedly was in ath- letics, he was still improving, and the two remaining years of his college course promised even a brighter fu- ture for him in this field. In the class-room Harold was quiet and attentive. He could express his knowledge a great deal better in a Written recitation than in an oral one. Determination was one of his assets—he was not easily influenced, nor did he waver from his own deci- sions, Casual acquaintances found him rather quiet and reserved, but to his friends he was a lively, jolly com- panion.

(illnnol‘soll l'nrl r'lunpnmn lv ‘rctt l‘lsll’less Activities Now that our School work is well under way we should take a few minutes from our daily tasks to think of the extra-cur- ricular activities that await us here at Augsburg. Our educa- tion will not be complete if we neglect the opportunity of broad- ening our lives through actual participation in these activities. Every student is gifted with some talent as well as a surplus ambition that must find vent in some field. It isn’t only our privilege, but we should feel it our duty, both to ourselves and to our school to assume an actual responsibility. Not only will it help us to feel that we are doing something for Augsburg, but we in turn will be broadening our own capacities, which will fit us more completely for the duties of life. There is a need for a renewed interest in activities at Augs- burg. Merely because the interest has lagged in past years does not condemn the activity or what it stands for. What we need is the co-operation of the students in making these things worth- while, and then there would be no danger of our organizations dying out. We would like to have each student feel it his duty to partake in some form of extra-curricular activity. —M. N. ___.0—_ ‘iShy @ays O Lord. we may not understand Thy ways. We see but dimly through the cloud and haze of circumstance Thy awful hand. We grope for light and ask the reason why— Why this should come; why thus our friend should die We hear Thy voice and trembling stand. We speechless stand, nor know not what to say, For in this awful hour in wondrous way Thy Truth, 0 Lord, has reached the soul. In wordless prayer to Thee our hearts we raise, And seek Thy grace to number so our days: Thy wisdom may our hearts control. Weighed down with grief we bow in humbleness Before Thy throne and own our sinfulness; We sue Thee for Thy matchless grace. From out the tempest of our souls we cry, “Have mercy, Lord," and lo, Thou drawest nigh, Through tears we see Thy smiling face. —-P. K. L. B. Wobbies One of the most interesting things about a man is his hobby. Almost everyone either consciously or unconsciously, indulges in a hobby. It is difficult to imagine a man who does not have a hobby or some sort of an avocation. Man becomes bored with his daily routine of work and feels the need of spending surplus energy in some way that particularly interests him. His cher- ished dream may be of some other field of endeavor. His ac- quaintances may not recognize in the business man the soul of a poet or the mind of a philosopher. Perhaps unfortunate cir- cumstances or influences placed him where he is, but during his leisure hours he follows his own inclinations and truly “re- creates” himself. One may be surprised to find the rising young engineer go- ing home at night to toot his saxophone, or the ambitious busi- ness-woman contentedly cooking jelly during the evening hours. Hobbies are invaluable as a form of recreation and even education, but how much better would it not be if we could make our hobbies our life work so that we could truly combine busi- ness with pleasure. Then we could avoid the pitiable spectacle of the athlete bending over a book-keeper’s desk and the scholarly individual following the plow. —A. F.

NEW BOOKS Adams, James Truslow, The Epic of Amcrira, 1931, Boston, Little, Brown, and Company. Mr. Adams has written here a story of the American people, trying to dis— cover how we become what we now are. He interprets the people them- selves, the infiuences which have shaped their characters, contamina- tions to which they have been ex- posed, and the spirit which has brought them through crises in the past. Mr. Adams has given a pan- oramic view of American life from the time of the discovery of the new world until today, presenting the out- standing factors of its growth, bio- graphical sketches of its leaders, and the life of the people in the city, town. and frontier. t Knudsen, Albert C., The Philosophy of Pcrsmialism. 1927, N. Y., The Abington Press. New York Herald Tribune: “Every work of philosophy is, in a sense, a review of all that has gone before it. Professor Knudson's ‘The Philosophy of Personalism‘ conforms to these specifications; it travels all the way from Plato and Plotinus down to the thinkers of the nineteenth century, with extensive consideration of such leaders as Kant and Hegel and Des— cartes." . Adams, James Truslow, The Adams Family, 1931, Boston. Little, Brown and Company. This volume is essentially a bio- graphy of the Adams family, includ- ing the writings of its various mem- bers from the year 1750 and on. The character of unique interest in the first generation was John Adams; those following in order of genera- tions were John Quincy Adams Charla Francis Adams: John Quin- cy, Charles Francis, Henry, and Brooks Adams. The Adams family suddenly passed from village obscur- ity to international fame in the lat- for part of the eighteenth century, and it has held a preeminent polition since due to character and mrked in- tellcctull ability.

J He went into the army at the time of the war and was stationed at gar- risons throughout the country both on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, as well as in the Hawaiian Islands for two and one half yours. He spent one year at sea as transport chaplain and recreation oficer. He ' was then detailed by the War de- partment as linson officer with the l U. 5. Navy yard at Brooklyn, N. Y., and after that spent two years in San Francisco in occupational ther- apy at the Letterman General Hos- pital. Just before coming to Min- neapolis he was in New York City at the Recruit Depot. ' It would seem rather natural for one to ask what his greatest thrill has been, so that was done. His an- - swer was, “When my first daughter. Katharine, was born." His most dangerous experience was during the forest fire at Cloquet, Minn., in which six hundred lives were lost. “What would you like to be if you were to make a change?" He re- plied, “A medical missionary." Boxing is his favorite sport. and fishing and hunting his favorite hob— bios. A fitting climax would be, of course, his outstanding experience among his many varied adventures: “My outstanding experience was after the great conflagration in northern Minnesota. I found that the only material possession I had was my certificate from the Theo- logical department of Augsburg Sem- inary with ‘Incomplete in Hebhew’ Written across the face of the certi- ficate.

Show moreTHURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1931 AUGSBUBG ECHO PAGE THREE Seminary Conference Held at Augsburg (Continued from page 1) said, “is a forensic, legal act of God whereby God declare: man righteous thra Christ." Justification is an act, a birth; sanctification is a process, a growth. Sanetification begins when a person is inatified. In the evening at the banquet held in the Augsburg Dining Hall, Dr. S. J. Helium of Augumna Seminary, Bock Inland. 111.. was the main speaker. At this session greetings from various delegates from the sam- Inariea repruented at the conference were given. In his address on, “flaking Justification by Faith Real Today," Dr. Sebelius gave a number of incidents from practical life of how men have failed to make justi- fication by faith real today; and then he pictured from actual experiences in life how men have succeeded to make justification by faith real to« day. The Toastmaster of the even— ing was Warren Hansen. On Saturday morning three theo- logical students presented papers on the theme, “Justification and Sancti— fication." The subdivisions of this theme were' “As motivating Luther’s personal Life," discussed by Henry Reitz, Hamma Divinity School, Springfield, Ohio: "As Constituting the Content of the Pastor’s Preach- ing”, discussed by Albert Jagnow. Capital University, Columbus, Ohio; and “As a Directive for his Practical Ministry", presented by Stanley 01- aon, Luther Seminary, St. Paul. During the afternoon the out of town delegates toured Minneapolis and St. Paul, visiting the Lutheran Seminaries in the Twin Cities, and towards evening they gathered at East Hall for lunch and a social hour, with Miss Mortensen as hostess. In his address Saturday evening on. “The Doctrine of Justification by Faith in the Apology of the Augs- burg Confession", Profi Theodore Huggenvik, of St. Olaf College, Northfield, gave the historical back- ground and setting of the Augsburg Confession and the Apology. Justi— fication by faith is the central theme in both. The Catholics taught that justification is Infused by God; Luther taught that justification is imputed by God. A Conference Sunday School was conducted Sunday morning at Trinity Lutheran Church with Dr. B. M. Christensen as instructor. The sub— ject for discussion was “Some needs that seem outstanding in our Luth— eran Church in America today." Divine Worship was conducted at Trinity Lutheran Church on Sunday morning. Prof. Theodore Huggenvik based his sermon on the text found in the Gospel of John 5:1-9. In speak- ing of “A Religion for Today", Prof. Huggenvik pointed out the character— istics of such a religion as being: a religion of a personal. living relation with the Father through Christ; a healthy, living religion which can grow and develop with the years; an evangelical religion; a religion which leads us to the Church of Christ; a religion for today must be a doctrinal religion; a religion that is character- ised by missionary zeal. Rev. M. J. Olson, Pastor of Trinity Church, was the liturgist at the service. Musical numbers for the sessions were furnished by Luther Seminary Glee Club, Augsburg Choral Society, Augsburg Male Quartet, Trinity Church Choir, Arnold Helseth, Miss Jennie Skurdalsvold, Alexander Bor- revik, and Sylvester Rue. The student group which conducted the meeting at the Gateway Mission on Saturday included Margaret An- dcnon. Lars Gold-l, George Haugen, Our Morison. Sylvia Nelson nnd Sylvester Rue. LARSON STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHERS 2708 EAST LAKE STREET Dugout 1375 Spatial Discount in SW Interviews Rev. Huset It takes these reporters to do things. Rev. Elmer Huset will un- doubtedly agree with the above statement after having to tell his past, present, future, and future per- fect in a no vague way to one of the inquisitive members of the “Echo” staff. Having been confronted with a long list of whys, whats, wheres, whens, whats, and what-nets, Rev. Huset found himself due for a chat of one hour and a half (to be exact) "about myself." Anybody should be able to give “Of Myself" perfectly in an hour and a half, but it usually takes an hour to figure out what one can say to give the right impression. This can perhaps account for the hour and a half brevity of this arv ticle. “This might be interesting— nnw don’t take that down, please," was one of the many outstanding statements made by our subject. That’s when the hour chat began,— and the other half hour was labor- iously spent in taking notes on ques- tions and answers. Rev. Huset attended high school in Hatton, N. D., for three years, finishing in the Augsburg Academy in 1910, and graduating from the college in 1914. While at school his favorite subject was mathematics. After graduation he continued his studies in scientific subjects at the University of Minnesota. He en- tered the Augsburg Seminary and graduated in 1917. During the win- ter of 1920-21 he attended the Mili- tary school of the National Univer- sity of Chicago. having been sent there by the War department. Here he studied sociology and psychology, after which he went as an instructor (Continued, page 4} Roaming over Pilgrim’s Way (Continued from page 2) help of a few other day evening, November 20.

This campaign was hunched at the Student Society meeting last Thursday. The student body was divided into fifteen teams with one of the members of each team as a captain. The captains met in the afternoon of the same day with Mr. Arthur It Italy [on All a Joyous Christmas snh Happiness throughout thrNrm'flrsr The Echo Stafi'. Segal of the Bureau of Engraving, who outlined the whole circulation project and gave them a number of valuable suggestions. He also pre» sented the Augsburgian with two awards which will be used as prises in the campaign. A full list of the prizes will be published later. In his talk. Mr. Sega] commented fav- orably on the theme of the new book. saying that it was strikingly original and very well worked out. Lectures Continued By Dr. Christensen The Wednesday evening Bible lec- tures on “The Faith and Life of the Early Christians" by Dr. B. M. Christensen. are meeting with in- creased interest from the people of the city. The Book of Acts is being studied at the present time. The fifth chapter of Acts was studied last Wednesday evening. There was poian out that it is un- ehristian to make a pretense of hav- ing made a hrger sacrifice than was made. “Falsehood slays. truth gives lite." and "giving is a test of consec- ration." said Dr. Christensen. It was further observed from the lives of Ananias and Sapphira that husband and wife tend to become alike in character. In answer to what constitutes le- gitimate church advertising. Dr. Christensen stated that it should be organically related to the Gospel. "Christianity as the Life" demands that the Gospel of Life be proclaimed. “Obedience to God comes first. That sets us free." “Shall we come to the end of our lives and find that we have not lived?" Dr. Paul Harrison Is Chapel Speaker Dr. Paul Harrison, for twenty years a medical missionary to Ara- bia. was a guest speaker at the chapel services on November 20. “The contribution of Christ is needed more today than ever before . . . the greater the progress. the greater the need of Christ." said the speaker. "The mission enterprise is not a man—made one. but it is an en- terprise of God. It is the flowing out of God‘s omnipotence. The goal is to save souls.” Book Display Seen By Student Group The library class. under the super- vision of Miss Selina Storien visited the book display shown at the cen- tral library in Kinneapolis on Tue!- day.

Lutheran Seminary Inspection Tour Made By Sociology Class Group Visits Workhouses And City Telephone Co. The Sociology class under the di- rection of Prof. Adolph Paulson visited the two workhouaes of Min- neapolis and the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company on the afternoon of November 19. The new men's worhouse, which is located about three miles north of Waysata. was first visited. A guide accompanied the visitors through the institution. After the inspection tour, the stu- dents were taken to the ofice of Dr. Lockwood. the Superintendent of the institution. where Dr. lackwood's secretary lectured totbe group. There are about four hundred men in the workhouse at present. The most common of all sentences is for drunkenness. and these men are very often repeaters. The men are kept at hard labor. and the idea of reform- ing them to become useful members of society is stressed. The revenue from the workhouse is turned over to the Trusury of the City of Minne- apolis. and the prison is supported by an appropriation. After this trip. the student group motored to Lyndale Avenue and 51st Street North, the site of the old workhouse. This is now being used as an institution for women. At present the dormitory system is in use. but this places the hardened criminal in Contact with the girl who has committed her first ofiense. There are about forty women in thc insti- tution at the present time. The Northwestern Bell Telephone Company was the next stop on the trip. The students were shown through the switchboard rooms and the equipment and operation of it was explained to them. Class Visits City Newspaper Ofiice An eager-eyed journalism class. under the direction of Mr. Norman Anderson. visited the building of The Minneapolis Journal on Friday after— noon, November 20th, as a part of their regular course. A guide accrued the group from the room in which the paper was be- ing made up to the room where it ruched completion.

November 27, 28, and 29. 1931. About fifty official delegates representing eleven seminaries, and a large number of interested friends attended the sessions which centered around the main theme. “The Heart of Lutheranism.” During the first session of the con- ference oflicial greetings were given by Dr. B. M. Christensen. represent- ing Augsburg Seminary; Mr. Walter Pederson, representing the Concordia Society of Augsburg Seminary; and Mr. Harold 1" ‘ the General Committee of the Con- ference. "Luther and the Material Principle of the Reformation" was the theme of the first address, given by Prof. Harold J. Grimm. of Capital Univer- sity. Columbus. Ohio. The religious and theological struggles of Martin Luther. as s monk in a monastery, were discussed by the speaker. Luther found the truth which liberated his despairing soul through the gospel of justification by faith alone. This same truth is what the world wants to hear today. During the afternoon session on Friday, Dr. Emmanuel Poppen. Presi- dent of the Ohio District of the American Lutheran Church, gave an address on “Justification by Faith." “Justification by faith," the speaker (Continued. page 3) Delegate to Buffalo Convention Chosen The Augsburg Students' Society will be represented at the eleventh quadrennial convention of the Stu- dent Volunteer Movement. to he held at Buffalo, N.

Augsburg recognizes all of these phases of life and seeks to develop the in- dividual in all three of them for his highest good. To some people, the word which is always paired with “physi- cal" is “athletics,” and to them this represents the acme of any kind of achievement. Athletics undoubtedly have their place. However, we are not to discuss that here, but rather what recog- nition a student should give to his physical needs. To Adams the three rules for success were regularity, regu- larity and REGULARITY. The average college student is regular —about irregularity: in class attendance, chapel attendance, church attendance; in eating, sleeping, and working; in exercise, recreation and study. There is the student whose idea of irregularity would be to get up in time for breakfast. There is the student who feels that the intellectual life is so much superior to the first named phase that he tends to ignore the latter as long as he is conscious of no distress and, if there is discomfort, to live above what he would term the “merely physical." There is the student who would never put himself out in any manner for any person or purpose whatsoever. There is the student who would much rather “wear out than rust out." Naturally none of these expresses the true viewpoint, nor would we dare to formulate a rule of life for anyone but our— self, for everyone must walk before the Lord individually. But there must be a path between selfish indulgence and the reckless wasting of physical energy, even though seemingly unselfish, where we may learn the difference between what it means to molly-coddle and to cherish. ——G. J. J. Alumni/ No matter what type of organization or how it is founded, some one has to feel responsible for financing and furthering the cause of that organization. The same thing is true of Augsburg. We need the support of the alumni if the future of our school is to be assured. The regrettable thing is that it isn’t the alumni of recent years who are assuming the responsibility of support- ing Augsburg but the alumni of years gone by. If each succeed» ing class is not going to feel it their duty to repay their Alma Mater what kind of a future will we have when the old stand-bys have gone? To quote one of our teachers, “Every alumnus owes to Augsburg $1.000 in cash whether he realizes it or not.” Right now we are seriously pressed with the issue whether or not we can continue athletics at Augsburg. Here is the op— portunity for every alumnus to respond to the call in order to keep us in inter—collegiate competition. We as students want ath- letics, and you as alumni do also. What would be the outcome if athletics were abolished? We fear to think of such a thing, but it is up to us to meet the demand set by the Athletic Council, which is the sum of $1,500, rather than to sit idly by and see athletics wiped out from our college life. It is easier to act now than to wake up when it is too late. Fifteen hundred dollars may seem a large sum. but when we divide that among the alumni it doesn’t amount to much after all. Don’t let the so—called depres— sion interfere with your giving. Athletics is not stressed too much at Augsburg, in fact. if any- thing we are tempted to slight it. It has a place in our college life equally as important as any factor, not only for the athletes but the other students as well. It develops good sportsmanship and cooperation that we do not acquire in other fields, and after all, what would life be if we lacked these two essentials? We urge the friends and alumni to cooperate with us and keep athletics at Augsburg! —M. N. Alumni Notes Rev. C. J.

The result is Roaming over Pilgrim’s Way MARTHA A. STARR This is the second of a series of articles by Mrs. Starr. who has recently returned from a year's study in England. Since lire-historic times a trail he followed the North Downs across southern England passing twenty miles or less to the south of London. During the Middle Ages it is known to have been the path by which the pilgrims from the west of England made their slow journey to the tomb of Saint Thomas a Becket at Con- terbury. The Thames valley, in which London and Canterbury are both situated, is separated from the sea by two ranges of hills—known as the Downs. The South Downs skirt the coast but the North Downs lie about thirty miles inland. When the plains were muddy and lacking in roads travellers were forced to seek the higher ground. Today the automobile road follows the plain, leaving the Pilgrim’s Way deserted except for infrequent foot travellers. One of the most interesting por» tions of this ancient path lies to the south of London between Reigate and Guildford. It is not a single path but. is made up of a great num- ber of paths crossing and re-crossing one another at frequent intervals. Some of the paths are very wide grassy stretches whose sides are marked by bushes, gorse, and ferns. On such a path a shepherd may sometimes be seen herding his sheep, or a solitary horse-back rider may be encountered. A foot traveller may spend the entire day on the North Downs and not encounter another hu- man being. The path, in part. runs close to the southern crest of the hills affording a panoramic View across the fertile plain to the south which separates the South Downs from the North Downs. In other por< tions it crosses the rather level pla» teau on the top of the range which was used as common pasture by the lord of the manor and by his ten- ants until recent years, but which is now covered by undergrowth. Here and there a trail will lead past a large country house surrounded by a high stone wall, or it may pass through some portion of an apparent» ly deserted estate. In one instance it leads through an estate which has many acres covered by a beech forest into a lane which passes under neg- lected brick archways. The shrubs almost obstruct the path, and the sense of desolation is accentuated when four or five neat red brick ten- ant-houses are seen each with hoard- ed up doors and windows. The main path then leads into a stretch of over-grown pasture and back along the crest of the Downs. The culmination of many a travel- ler‘s walk is St. Martha's Chapel which is located on the peak of one of the highest hills. This chapel is said to have been one of the rest stations and places of worship for the pil- grims of olden days. We had spent several days in tramping over por— tions of this trail. always intending to reach the chapel but always misa- ing our way or being so utterly wary as to stop for the night at some Elizabethan inn. Late one aft- ernoon last fall we reached the top of the hill which overlooks it. A deep valley stretched between the chapel and the hill on which we stood. The sun was setting. and we were (Continued, page 3) formalism. I Samuel Ail-11. o Are you awake to the danger of having a show 0/ religious lilo without any real "octane!

Japan with an imperialistic mili- tary body at its head is the most menacing figure on the international horizon.

She has broken her solemn word as a signatory of the Kellogg Fact and Nine Power Treaty. Her intention as she explains is to protect her na- tionals; this, however, cannot be "swallowed" in View of the terrify- ing trails of blood her armies have made in Chinese territory. But we must take care not to let any spark of hatred ignite us against the Japanese people themselves. They have been duped by their militaristic government. Mr. Wong believes that we as good citizens and lovers of peace should join in protest with other nations against the actions of Japan. and use such economic and political measures as are within our power without resorting to warfare which would only precipitate a greater catastrophe than outlawed Japan could bring to pass. 63> 1 classes there have been two decision debates with Tilma Iceland and Ernest Anderson acting as critic judges Bethe] vs. Augsburg Bethe] defeated Augsburg Academy 2L7 in a fast game on the latters' floor, Feb. 10.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1932 NUMBER 8 Dr. swam] At Northrop Hall lecture on “Life of the Spiri ” Strikes Evolution In a lecture given Friday evening, February 12, by Dr. David Swenson at the Northrop Auditorium, evolu- tion was given a profoundly search- ing analysis under the specific title “Life of the Spirit." The speaker took the audience through a labyrinth of thought that must have left the minds of many invigorated and strengthened many in their belief in the deeper spiritual life. "All life,” said the speaker, “seeks satisfaction, and that which is ob- tained is either real or imaginary." From this he led his audience to his subject, "Life of the Spirit," which he proposed to show is the life of “real” satisfaction. Three character- istics were brought out as essential to spiritual life. First. it must be dominated by an idea or principle. A life without this domination is only a caricature. Second, this idea must be intrinsic in the personslit no set of principles outside of the m :- vidual can sufilciently guide him. Third, the idea must completely dom- inate in order to be of infinite value, and only one idea whose source lies in the infinite can dominate a life completely. Three theories in evolution were presented. First, the mutability of species, which permits a break in the rigidity of species. Second, the man- istic origin of life, holding that all things descend from a single species. Third. the namral scientific ventilate that life developed from the inorganic to the organic. These theories, Dr. Swenson said, were not proven true and were open to research and study. One of the most interesting points in the lecture came when the propo- sition was made: if the evolutionary theory is proven true, what will be the effect on the “life of the spirit?" The answer to this was unequivocal, Though the lecturer did not claim to‘ either reject or accept biological evo-‘ lution. he clearly stated the fact that the spiritual life existed independent (Continued, page 3) Forensic Schedule Arranged by Coach Oratorical Contest to be on International Peace College forensics at Augsburg, un- der the direction of Professor S.

Mr. Stom- berg had known the archbishop per- sonally for over thirty~four years, and for this reason his address included many personal touches, Archbishop Soderblom came from the peasant class in Sweden. His mother came from a Danish family. His father had been deeply influenced by the pietistic movement in Sweden. When he became a student at Upsala University in 1883 he took a firm stand in defense of Christianity in spite of the bitter opposition from the agnostic group who were than in the maiority at the University. He never wavered in his faith in God and Jesus Christ. He was especially famous for his magnetic personality and executive ability. His conspicuous leadership was employed when he called the Ecumenical Congress in 1925 in order to bring about a better understand- ing among churches confessing the Christian faith.

Science Club Takes Name of Aristotle “Aristotelian” is the new name chosen for the Science Club by the members at a meeting Feb. 11. This name was chosen because the name of Aristotle expresses the aims of the club. Aristotle was interested in all branches of science, and consequently his name would link the various sciences together. During the past month the Aristoc telians have been attending a series of four lectures at the University Minnesota, on “Evolution and Civ zation" sponsored by the local chap- ter of Sigma Xi, and given by the University of Minnesota professors. Members of the club have also at- tended some of the lectures given by Dr. Fischlel'. eminent cytologist, of Germany, who has been lecturing at the University of Minnesota.

Too much praise cannot be given to the regular chapel ex- ercises as they have been conducted. Our faculty has never failed to make the exercises worthy of the attention of all. No better food for the soul could be provided than the Word of God as it is b presented and interpreted each day to us. However. the fact cannot be denied that too much repetition of any procedure may lessen the appreciation. This is especially true of those who are not spiritually inclined by nature. Professor Hendrickson seemed to open the door. that morn- ing, and reveal a multitude of possibilities for variety during our exercises, for music is one of our strong departments. Among our facility and students. thcrc is talent enough to contribute something in the line of special music several times each week. Other features. either by our own talent or by outsiders. would do much to broaden the field for each of us. in the way suggested by President Sverdrup in a recent announcement. Student speakers could occasionally take the platform. An- nouncemcnts of features in the cities, profitable for attendance by our students would heighten interest. ’0. E. flttend Ghapel/ A very little observation will show that many students fail to be good citizens in the matter of chapel attendance. On some days it is good. and frequently it is very poor. The fact that attendance is not enforced by actual disciplinary measures shows a desire on the part of the administration to extend the courtesy of all possible freedom to the individual. Naturally, it is assumed that the student will maintain a high standard of attendance without force. It is the duty of every student to appreciate this courtesy. and respond to it by doing his part. It must be very embarassing to have a speaker from outside come to our chapel, and find from fifteen to thirty per cent of the enrolled students present. It carries a bad impression that cannot be explained away or apologized for. If one of our faculty members prepares his remarks for chapel and finds so few present that the hymns can hardly be sung, that is discouraging. We agree that our faculty is deserving of support and encourage- ment for their faithful efforts here, and failure to attend chapel certainly does not give them a feeling that this encouragement is forthcoming. Chapel exercises are based on the very foundations of Augs- burg traditions. The messages, whether they consist of informa- tion, advise, or inspiration, are part of the college life and spirit at our school. We need them. Every student who enrolls here should take it upon himself to avail himself of the features of school life that have been found good. It is only reasonable to suppose that if the attendance prob- lem becomes acute, the administration will be forced to take away the courtesy of semi-voluntary attendance, and enforce the rule rigidly. Would it not be better for each student to see to it that as far as he is concerned, there should be no need of action of this kind? A ninety per cent attendance, maintained consistently, would be a reasonable aim. An occasional absence would not then be sufficiently noticed to reflect on the school, and only the indi- vidual would suffer from the loss. —0.

Starr presented the second of a series of illustrated lectures on the history of painting, sponsored by the philosophy class, in the Biology room on Thursday, Feb. 9 11. This lecture showed the develop- 5 merit of painting by means of slides owned by the Metropolitan Museum of New York City. It showed the development of Italian, Flemish. French, and English painting, and their influence upon American art. The slides were examples of the early, stilted, lifeless style, and the steps in the improvement of this style up to the present natural and more vig- orous portrayal of life. Italian painting is limited in sub~ ject mutter almost solely to religious characters. Flemish art added land- scape painting because of its own beauty. The French and English were chiefly interested in portrait paintings of prominent figures, espe- cially members of the aristocracy. e e d d d e It was strongly emphasized that America has not developed a distinc- tive culture in any field. Particularly is she lacking in the field of paint- ing. Much has been painted that is good, more that is mediocre. and a great deal that is worthless. Amer- icu has many futuristic artists. How- ever, all American painting savors of the European influence. 9 n 3 Missmn Group Hears Convention Report (Continued from page ll A member of the board of foreign missions, Rev. A. M.
