And when we look upon God and our- selves in this light. we will have good rea— sons both to “fear” and “tremble.” And if we go on through life with this true under— standing of our own unworthiness and weakness it will teach us to keep close to God and truly to depend upon Him. “Fear— ing and trembling” will then be a safe— guard against all evil, and as we struggle on from day to day, we will learn to look up to God with more confidence and strive more earnestly to obey Him always and in all things. Then when we have completed our course, fully consecrated ourselves. and are ready to enter into the precense of God, we can look back upon our life. our struggles against ourselves and the world and say with Paul: “I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course, I have kept the faith,”—and then without fear step across the river of Death and receive the Crown that is laid up for us in heaven. @11qu Qinntiicfct, (Enrettct 1884.) 2001 mivcrfibc 2mm, mitmcapolié. 3. ficbclcr, (Eféamiueret ‘leotbel‘er fra @biitiam’a linineriitet.

A titter rose from the out-skirts of the room, increasing in volume as it spred inward, then ceased suddenly, as the Teacher with angry, blushing face demanded, “Silence.” Billy fell back into his seat and the Teach- er continued speaking. ?‘The school is dis— missed with the exception of this young man. He evidently needs an extra session." Billy gazed with fixed staring eyes as, one by one, his classmates filed past him into the cloak-room, from whence came a momentary bustle and shuffling of feet— then silence—the deep heavy silence of dis- grace. Billy was left alone with the Teacher. Working out our own Salvation. \Vherefore, my beloved, as ye have al- ways obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Phil. 2, 12—13. With the example of the obediance and humility of Christ before him Paul proceeds to admonish the Philippians to run the Christian course with diligence and earnest- ness. By the grace of God they had through the atoning blood of Christ Jesus been en- abled to step'out of the darkness of heathen- ism and into a new life in the fellowship of Christ as new beings, born of God. It was now necessary for them to go forth in the foot steps of their blessed Re- deemer and consecrate themselves to this one purpose: to “work out their own salva- tion.” Hitherto the Philippians had walked well in this new life, and Paul’s epistle, full as it is of love and tenderness, bears evi— dence of this; but he desires to remind them of the fact that there yet lies before them many struggles and that it therefore be— hooves them as disciples of Christ to walk circumspectly, “fearing and trembling,” lest they after all should fall short and not reach the eternal glory. This consecration of one’s self is a hard and difficult task, but it is one that every Christian must take upon himself with zeal and earnestness, because it is a question of life or death, If I yield to the demands of the world, within or without me or both, it means death and eternal damnation; but if I consecrate myself wholly to the will of God and fight the daily battles of faith, it means life and glory everlasting. Since in us there is nothing acceptable to God, how is it possible for us to work out our own salvation? The answer to this we find in the 13th verse where Paul adds: “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” If it was God’s intention that man should work out his own salvation in his own strength it would be useless and foolish to undertake such a thing. But we are told here in sweet, consoling words that God will give the strength both to “will’ and to “do.” The foundation, then, upon which we are to build, the foundation from which we are to draw is God, and God alone, and all “of his good pleasure.” When the Philippians received the gos- pel of Christ they thereby entered the path upon which they were to run.

A certain news she had heard troubled her thoughts and clouded the sunny horizon of the future in her mind. She had learned that Edward’s father had been a drunkard all his life. Whatever he earned he had spent in drink, he had beaten and otherwise illtreated his wife, he had mistreated his children and given them no education, he had been the terror of his neighborhood, and‘ at last met with a violent death in delirium tremens. With her knowledge of the human constitution and the laws of inheritance she knew too well that although Edwards, as far as she had observed, never had shown any sign of in- temperate habits, or even desire for intox— icants, the passion might be in the blood and break out any moment in the hour of temptation. She , went through many a secret struggle in her lonely hours, there was a continual strife between her reason and her affection. She often resolved to break the engagement, but as often, when she met him she lacked the courage to do so, the words were as frozen on her lips and she thought it would be cruel to him to tell him the whole truth. Oh, she often sighed, if her mother had lived that she might have asked her advice; now she had no friend who rightly understood her, or to whom she could unbosom her troubles. Her father had warned her against such a step that might lead her into misery for life; but seeing how she suffered, he had given her pemiission to do as she thought best; this, while it was.kind and fatherly of him, made it still worse, as now the whole responsibil— ity rested upon her alone. In these her hours of loneliness and inward struggles her greatest consolation was that she had one friend to whom she early had been taught to take as well her sorrow as her joy, and whose guidance she could seek. Meanwhile Edwards knew nothing of all this. Well had he noticed the change in her mood, but in his unsuspecting state of mind be attributed this to other causes then the real one, or did not attack any importance to it. However, what went before, how much of undecidedness and doubt on her part, two years after their first meeting they were married by her father, the gray, benignant minister, Their earthly joy seemed to be perfect when they one year later moved to take possession of her father’s house from which he had lately gone to inhabit the mansions, prepared for the faithful above. (To be Continued.) THE NEW TEACHER: The New Teacher was talking, and she was keeping school overtime. Already Billy could see in imagination the sun going down, the winter' twilight stealing on and the time for play growing shorter, minute by minute. Billy wiggled in his seat and squirmed his toes back and forth in his shoes. It seemed as if he must yell, and still the teach- er talked, not rapidly, or with any apparent attempt to get through: she seemed to ramble on aimlessly and endlessly. Then Billy tried counting; first he counted the number of sections in the blackboard; then the number of window panes; then the num- ber of boys with red hair and finally he got down to counting the number of “ands” the teacher used in her talk. He did not know what she was talking about, but he had noticed that when one talks slowly one uses a good many “ands”— and the way the New Teacher said it was very funny—finally at the seventeenth time Billy forgot himself so far as to snicker audibly.

The irregularities of the graves bore testi— mony that no official grave-digger had been employed. In the southeast corner can be seen a small grave, almost overshadowed by larger ones. At its head stands a weeping willow and on it is placed a small stone— monument with the following inscription: “Ida Edwards. Few were thy days with us, Stormy thy way. Rest now in endless bliss, Beyond the sky.” Many years ago, when the railroad was first built through the\ above named town, there was among the workers on the rail- road a young man named Edwards. He was of medium height, dark complected with long, flowing hair, and deep, earnest eyes. His modesty and amiability won him many friends among his fellow—workers and associates. He was naturally of a lively disposition, but at times there was over him a certain sadness, suggestive of secret struggles, or hard days in the past. During his stay in the town he, unlike the rest of the men, attended regularly the services in the church and the meetings of the young people’s society. Here he became acquainted with the minister's daughter, the eighteen-year—old Alice. She was'an active member of the society, the leader of the choir, and deeply interested in every line of activity in the little church. Following his old custom of asking young people to his home, especially strangers, the minister one sunday invited Edwards to spend the after- noon with him. VVith some hesitancy he accepted the invitation. But the cordial handshake and the simple, open manners of the old minister soon dispelled all uneasi- ness and made a deep impression on the thoughtful youth. His awkwardness and the wonderment with which he contemplated his.surroundings, plainly showed that he had never enjoyed the blessings of a com- fortable home. He went home that evening a changed man, a new element had entered into his life, he had discovered something to live for, something to strive for. Life had meaning, it was not misery and drudgery only, it was joy and happiness too, unspeak- able joy; and for the first time in his life he' thanked God for the gift of life. One day as the camp was to be moved to a new station farther north. Edwards quitted his place on the road, to seek em- ployment in the town. With his good re- comendations he soon found a place in a factory built that same year. He was given fairly good wages and promise of advance- ment. The faithtfulness and energy with which he took hold of his work in his new occupation won for him respect both from his employer and his fellow-workers. His visits to the minister’s became more and more frequent; and it was whispered in the corners that there were more than friendship between him and Alice, the min- isters only child. This soon became the topic of the whole town, and when Edwards walked along the sidewalk people looked knowingly at each other, winking with one -eye; and women put their heads together, smiling. Contrary to what is customary in such cases it this time proved to be true. Alice had liked the strong, quiet youth from their first meeting; and her frankness and simplicity had fascinated him. They had so much in common and still they were so dif- ferent. One thought was now uppermost in his mind: how he could make himself worthy of such a companion. His evening hours and other spare moments he used for reading and study. He now for the first time thought of and clearly realized what loss it was to him that he had not been sent to school in his boyhood-days, and he bit- Show less

He helped to kindle the desire, create and cultivate taste for that which so long had been stagnant— literature. He was himself a man of highly cultivated taste for poetry, therefore, it was most natural that he should seek to cultivate a keener taste for art among his people. His vast universal productions show that he thought not only of his own people but of all peoples. - When Milton was graduated from Cam- bridge he resorted to Horton, in Bucks, a small village where he spent his next six years. Here most of his time was dedicated to the study of poetry and music and inter— course with nature. When he entered the college at Cambridge he intended to enter the ministry, but seeing the critical position of. a minister, because of the arbitrary and absolute authority of the bishops, he aban- doned that thought entirely and devoted himself exclusively to poetry. It was in Horton that Milton wrote many of his minor poems. In the year 1638 we find Milton on his foreign tour. Through Paris, where he made but a short stay, receiving the English ambassador’s favor and meeting the Swedish ambassador, he rapidly continued his jour— ney to Italy. His intention was to visit Greece also, but after visiting Florence, Naples, and Rome, he returned again to England. The cause of his immediate re- turn was the sad news of civil war in Eng— land, “for,” he said, “I consider it base that, while my fellow-countrymen were lighting at home for liberty, I should be traveling abroad for intellectual culture.” In Florence he spent two months. Then he went to Rome where he remained two months longer. Despite of spiritual bondage and moral corruption in the church Rome was still the center of thought and intel- lectual power in Europe. Here the young English poet was received with the greatest appreciation. He was master of six lan- guages and of all the literature then known to the world. His Latin Poems, his refine- ment, his knowledge of music and command of the Italian language gave him introduc- tion to the greatest men. On his return he stopped at Venice and Geneva, and reached England after an absence of fifteen months. (To be continued.) i A SERIAL STORY. (L. LiIIeIIei.) Chapter I. Little Ida. Through a rich and firtile valley glides a great river lazily southward to meet the boundless ocean. Its dark water—swarm- ing with fishes, shooting in all directions like arrows, flashing in the sunshine—plays among the rushes on the muddy banks and reflects the blue sky above. The ground on the west side of the river rises slowly to a height of about fifty feet. On this elevation is situated a little town. The woods that had been there in years gone by were cut down to give place t_0 the town and the fields and orchards surrounling it. Only in a few places some big trees were standing and these places were intended for parks. About one mile out from the town lies the ceme— tary, gently sloping westward. Intentionally or not, this place was well chosen: it looked toward sunset, thus strikingly illustrating to the living the condition of those whose home it was. It was inclosed with a plain steel— fence and surrounded by trees on all sides. Show less

A peaceful and quiet rest when the struggles of life are over; an eternal rest “which remaineth for the people of God.” To the Christian the grave is no longer the dark dungeon, but a sweet resting place until the resurrection morning, “when this corruptible must put on incorruption and this mortal oshall put on immortality." Hence autumn days should only remind us of the evening, which preceeds the bright and glorious morning “when death is swal- lowed up in victory.” JOHN MILTON. (A. F.) Milton was born in Cheapside, London, in the year 1608. His father was a native of Oxfordshire, a district in which the Roman Catholic was strongly represented. The formalism of that church did not appeal to Milton’s keen sense of religious and spiritual liberty. The father, like the son, had a deep conviction of sin and an intense longing for the whole truth, which could not be satisfied by mere susperstition and tradition. Formalism only did not c0mply with the demands of his spiritual man. Therefore he sought another source where he might satisfy his deep longing and earnest search for truth and righteousness. He turned a protestant—adhering to Pur- itanism. On this account he was excom— municated from the Catholic church. Being obliged to leave Oxfordshire he sought his fortune in London, The first sixteen years of Milton's life were spent in London, where his father aquired some distinction as a musician by his contribution to musical publications. Music was thus one of the domestic influ- ences to shape, mould, and refine the poet’s character from his infancy. At the same time that he was a popular musician he was engaged in a prosperous business. He spared no expense or trouble for the devel- opment of his genius, who promised so un- usual well. A liberal education was given him both at home and at school. His tutor, Young, gave him the first taste of poetry and encouraged him to poetical exercises. In London he attended the St. Paul school where he became an accomplished scholar and where he attracted the public attention for his poetry and prose. At the age of sixteen he entered Christ’s college at Cambridge which was then a prominent educational center in England. Here he studiel the Classics, Greek and Latin, and the scholastic logic and phil- osophy and of the modern languages, French, Italian, and Hebrew. After spend- ing seven years at this institution the degree M. A. was confered on him. He was an ardent and a conscientious student. He gained the favor, respect and admiration of all whom he came in contact with. He was more conscientious of the duty and respon- sibility of life than many of his fellow students. He was ambitious, but his am- bition was not an aspiration of his animal nature but of a pure and noble mind. He believed that noble achievements and great accomplishments were due only to a noble mind and a pure life. These were the prin- ciples that governed his great accomplish- ments in the poetical realm. His motives were pure, his standard sublime, his aims high, and his ends unselfish. He sought earnestly to lift man to a higher standard in his taste for poetry. In this his great contemplation he was not disappointed. He not only planned but accomplished his plans. He not only aimed high but he hit the mark. These characteristics places him above his contemporaries as a man that always will live in the memories of all people. His Show less

A cyclone took a notion to give us a visit last summer, but it did not prove such a dangerous visitor after all. The storm blew down some trees on the grounds —but that'only gave the janitor some ex- cercise. It does not happen every year that we can welcome a new professor. However, we have the pleasure of doing so this year, inasmuch as S. O. Severson now has en- tered upon his work as a professor in the college department. Prof. Severson is a former Augsburg student, and since his graduation from the college department he has attended the state University where he took his M. A. degree last spring. He is therefor not on strange ground. We wish him success in his work. Wm. Mills, who graduated from the theological department last spring is now professor of Greek, Latin and German at the Red Wing Seminary. Echo con— gratulates. Lessons from Autumn. (C. E. N.) “The melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year. Of wailing winds and naked woods, and meadows brown and sear. Heaped in the hollows of the grove, the autumn leaves lie dead. They rustle to the eddying gust, and to the rabits tread. The robin and the wren are flown, from the schrubs the jay, And from the woodtops calls the crow, thru all the gloomy day.” Thus wrote the poet half a century ago, and although the autumn days have come and gone fifty times they always bring back the same feelings, the same emotions, which the poet expresses in these simple words. The same thoughts thrust themselves upon us every time the “melancholy days” return. They are indeed the saddest of the year. The leaves which once looked so beautiful in their splendid color of green, begin to grow pale. They have seen their best days. The wailing winds will soon sing their sad songs while the dead leaves are carried to their final resting place. Should not these autumn days again re- mind us that man is corruptible? The naked trees robbed of their luster, tell us that once we shall be robbed of all earthly beauty. The dead leaves, which we step on remind us that sooner or later our mortal bodies shall lie cold and pale when death has wrought his work in us. The melancholy tunes of the autumn winds, as they sweep over nature, which bears the impress of death, whisper to us that within half a cen- tury the sad strains of the funeral hymns shall be sung over our corruptible bodies, grasped in the hands of death. ‘ But does autumn bring to us only hor— rible scenes of death? Should we yield to our emotions and let our minds be filled with hedious thoughts of our own funerals? No! Autumn and harvest brings to us also the idea of work. The Great Teacher of Nazareth once said, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few.” As we are reminded that the harvest days of our life shall soon come it should inspire us to work while ’tis day; that we might leave a “footpirnt on the sands of time.” Soon the autumn days of our school years are with us and we look back upon the happy school Show less

Editorials. Here we are again. Some of you were of course beginning to wonder what had become of us. True, a cyclone did pass over Augsburg this last summer, but, as far as we have been able to ascertain, it did Echo no harm. So that is not the reason why we did not come to you in September. You will remember that we called atten- tion to this change last spring. It is just about impossible for us to issue a September number—for the simple reason that none of us are here till towards the close of the month. Therefore we hoped to get out of this difficulty by uniting the September and October numbers, and at the same time not cause any-dissatisfaction among our readers. And now, friends, that we are with you again, we again ask for your good will, and, what is just as important—your money. Only our little share, of course. We can see no reason why a paper published by the students of Augsburg should continually wade in deep waters. Not that we aspire to recognition by the journalistic world, but we really do think there ought to be enough interest for a College paper among our friends and especially the Alumni to bring them to our aid—~at least financially. And then we students ought, as one man, give Echo our loyal support. It must be a mighty poor stick of an Alumni who does not care a little for what we young fellows at school are trying to do, especially when you remember that you was one of those young fellows yourself some short years ago, and, perhaps not a bit better than we are.
