Jordan was to leave .Willesport the following day. The meetings had been well attended, and his work had not been in vain. The last evening he was to speak, the people came to church in such numbers that the church became too small and many had to go home again. ' Rev. Jordan spoke in his usual stirring way. After his speech Rev. Dahl said a few words. Then Rev. Jordan rose again. “There is one thing yet that I wish to lay be— fore you tonight,” he said, looking at the large audience. Some of you will be surprised when I men— tion it; others will perhaps laugh and say it is only nonsense. Still I believe that the majority will agree with me.” (To be continued). EXCHANGES. Tho our exchanges are not num— erous, we regret to say that we can hardly devote to them the time they deserve. The Lutheran Normal School .Mirror contains much that is good, tho the best ar— ticles are not original, as we might expect. The selection from Henry Ward Beecher on “Books” is ex— cellent and worth perusing. After all, it is not a bad practice to cull such choice passages from stand- ard works and grant them admis— sion to the columns of our college papers. As a rule, they are bet— ter than anything which we our— selves can concoct. However, they should be brief and few and very good. The “Mirror” has also a Norwegian department. \Ve rev gret, however, that it should be in— terspersed with English, and still more do we deplore that the old Danish-Norwegian orthography is adhered to. A college paper should be distinct from other publications, at least in this that it follows the latest standard rules of grammar and orthography. Where‘ else should we expect to find the best and most modern authorities if not in our colleges, and consequent- ly in their exponents the college papers. The Augustana offers an article on Edgar Allan Poe. Tho brief for such a subject it is interesting and easily read. These themes never grow old, surely not in a students paper. The poem “The Queer Old \Vorld” is pleasing be— cause it treats of the familiar pro— blem of life from an optimistic standpoint. This world is after all the best kind of a world for us to be in, and if we do not think so, the fault is all ours. Show less

Each year seems tobring along, on its journey to eternity, certain commemorations of interest either to a particular class of people or to a certain na- tion, and often also to the whole world. The year 1911 comes to us and demands our attention and honor to those noble men over in Eng— land who in the year 1611 had completed the great work—the translation of the Bible which re— sulted in the authorized version. It may be or in fact should be of interest to every person who studies the word of God to know something about the evolution of our English Bible. History relates to us of men who have sacrificed their lives for the translation of the Bible into the language of the people. Among them England has had her share of the martyrs. The first successful attempt to give England a complete version of the Bible, was made by John \Vycliffe. He died at Lutterworth 1384. shortly after he had finished the great task. In him England lost one of her greatest sons. He was great because of his service to his fellow-men thru his admirable endeavours to purify the church \ and emancipate the Bible. It may, be of interest to read a discription of his death by a ‘monkish writer of that time, which clearly shows us the attitude of the church to- wards him. “On the feast of the passion of St. Thomas of Canter- bury, John \Vycliffe, the organ of the devil, the enemy of the church. the idol of heretics, the image of hypocrites, the restorer of schism, the storehouse of lies, the sink of flattery. being struck by the hor- rible judgment of God. was seized ' with the, palsy thruout his whole body. and that mouth which was to have spoken huge things against God and His saints. and the holy church . was miserably drawn aside, and afforded a frightful spectacle to beholders; his tongue was speechless and his head shook, showing plainly that the curse which God had thundered forth against Cain was also inflicted on him." :\ century passed after the death of \\'ycliffe before any other at— tempt in the same direction was made. Many changes and incidents 'of interest took place during this time, but by far the most notable and worthy of mention was the invention of the printing press. The first to give England printed copies of the scripture in the Eng— lish language was \Villiam Tyn- dale. He worked as an exile on the translation.

The great This is certainly But let us then remember that a" college education does not create great men, but is develops them. A person may be born with a certain ability. A college educa— tion would develop it. That some men without a college education have become great is no argument against it. Might not the same men if they had had a college edu— cation have been still greater? Then we’ hear some say that a minister of the gospel does not need a college education. The time is past, if it ever has been. when a , minister is looked upon as a mere preacher. He is now looked upon as a leader. The first requisite to a leader is strength. He must be clear and strong in intellectual grasp. quick to distinguish truth andjerror. able to solve perplexing problems. He must be an inspira- tion and support to those about him.

Tyndale suffered mar- tyrdom in the year 1536. His last prayer is said to have been: “Lord open the king of England's eyes!" About seventy years after Tyn- dale's death we find the king of England. James 1.. as president of a conference of bishops and clergy which was held in the drawing- rooms of Hampton Court Palace. This conference had assembled to discuss some grievances of the Puritan party of the church. but the necessity of attaining a version whereupon the different parties within the church could agree was also brought forth. At this time there were three different versions of the Bible in England: the “Geneyran”, which was the favor- ite among the common people. the “Bishop’s Bible,” whose supporters were the ecclesiastical body, and the “Great Bible”, mostly used in the country. The latter was prac- tically. the same as Tyndale’s ver— sion altho his being condemned by his numerous enemies. The idea of getting an authorizv ed version did not appeal to most of the representatives at first: But the king was strongly in favor of it tho his motives were those of an egoist. He looked at the honor and glory that would add to his reign that the translation he done under his auspices. Moreover, there were some marginal notes in one version especially which made him angry. One example is in the first chapter of Exodus where given of the He— who "did not as the king of Egypt commanded but saved the alive." The following explanation is given in the margin: “their disobedience, to the king was lawful. tho their a description is brew midwives, men—children dissembling was evil." But in spite of his malicious mo- tives king James was the most able leader that could he wished for as director of this great undertaking. He appointed fifty—four of the best learned men in his kingdom. The number was later reduced to forty—seven. These were grouped into six divisions. and a certain portion of translation was assign— ed to each division. The work of the translators' began in the year 1607 at Oxford. Cambridge. and \Vestminster. 'Perhaps one of the great reasons why the work was completed so successfully as it was may be ascribed to the admirable plan that was drawn up and fol— lowed by the translators.

He was not much interested in religious af- fairs, and this was a difficult ques- tion for him to answer. “\Vell, Dr. Hill,” he finally said, “it is very hard to prepare a drug for that kind of sickness because they do not understand that it is a symp- tom of insanity. In fact it is a contagious disease spreading in all directions. Yet there is one good thing to say about it: it usually leaves a person after a short time.” Dr. Hill laughed. “So you think it is some kind of sickness,” he said. “Then it is very likely that both you and I can earn something by it. If such is the case we ought to be thankful. Cases and money is what we are seeking; but what if this contagious disease should affect also us, Mr. Thorn ?" “Don’t be anxious on my ac- count. If I should be affected I ask you, as my best friend, im— mediately to bring me to an asylum for insane people,” said the other. “\Vell, Mr. Thorn, I am glad to hear that one man at least is of my opinion, and I think that our party will soon be in majority." In the evening the second meet— ing was to be held. Shortly before the appointed time Ralph went to the place where Rev. Jordan stayed to have a conversation with him. He was shown up to his private room. Having been introduced he sat down while the minister looked at him with piercing eyes. Rev. Jordan understood that the young man had a special cause for com- ing. and that he must try to win his confidence. “Did you attend the meeting last night?” he asked in a friendly way. Ralph answered in the affirma- tive and said he enjoyed the meet— ing very much. They conversed for some time without approaching the subject which Ralph had come to speak on. Then the minister said: “This ev— ening I shall speak only a short while. After that each Christian will have a chance to give a brief testimony. I hope you will give yours, Mr. \Yilliams.” Ralph shook his head and ans— wered: “I don't think I shall have courage to do it." Then he told Rev. Jordan how he had been dis- obedient to his conscience the prev— ious evening. The minister had by this time won his confidence, and Ralph told him what his aim was. He also told him that he could not realize his thoughts since his father was opposed to the idea. Rev. Jordan seemed to be very much interested and was more hopeful in regard to the final out— come than Ralph was. “And you Show less

It does not limit itself to any special course. but seeks to prepare men and women for life by teaching subjects that will develop the whole of man and thus bring forth a well- rounded manhood and womanhood. it does not especially aim at mak— ing good lawyers, physicians, chem- ists. and merchants: but to make men. well—developed men. both physically and mentally. Howev— er. tube successful in the above named professions a college edu— cation is necessary. \\'hatever pro— fession a man takes up he will meet with the problems and (lif— ficulties of life; and equipped with a college education he will be bet— ter able to solve them. I believe this, because a college education helps to develop the whole man. It yields for each life that it helps to fashion strength. culture. and character. ;\ college education does not only inform the mind, but also invigorates the will. The world is full of men who have no power of persistent effort, They are cast back and forth upon the stormy sea of life. They have no aim, no purpose, except to live in some way; and some seem even to be devoid of this thought. They may have prepared themselves for one certain vocation and beyond this they cannot go. Their view of life is narrow and limited. A college education makes the intellect and purpose grow strong by surmounting obstacles. and pressing on to higher ends.‘ He who conquers difficulties once will more easily succeed a second time. A student must meet and conquer many a difficulty during his college life. He must grapple vigorously with unwelcome tasks and investigate patiently till a safe conclusion is reached. Men and women who have thus learned to surmount obstacles during their college life will be better prepared to go into the world and live a life worth while, both to themselves and their fellow—men. \\’hi1e the greatest value of a college education may be subject- ive. that is. the increased power of the student himself. there is also an objective value of the work ac- complished. \Vhether a man wish- es to take up medicine, law. chem— istry, or any other profession a college course is valuable and al— most necessary. Some seem to think that “the best college course is the shortest" and take as little of it as possible before entering upon a professional course. The result is a great number of incap— able lawyers and physicians that are a disgrace to their profession, and men that are failures in other professions. They are in the “bus- Show less
