As reported by Time magazine of km uary t9. Hankow. in Northern China. is a city of refuge for missionaries from abandon stations in Honan and north- ern Hupeh provinces. Three American missionaries had been shot to death. Concerning Rev. Hansen. Time reports: "The Lutheran mission church at Hau- chang had originally been a stable. When Chen Yi's troops took Hsuchang for awhile last month they turned it back into a stable. 'lnstead of pews.’ said go- year-old Pastor Anders B. Hansen last week. 'there were stalls. . . Light poured in through a mortar hole in the ceiling. and horses stirred in the stalls. . . It looked like the Christmas scene turned upside down.’ "Mission work at Hsuchang had been considerably hampered by the Communist occupation. but the missionaries considered that the Reds treated them 'very de— cently.‘ One remembered a young Com- munist oﬁcer who had scolded a soldier for spitting on the mission ﬂoor. Amer— icans did not spit on the ﬂoor. he said: Communists would have to learn that. too. To the missionary the ofﬁcer said: 'Christianity is not solving China's prob- lem.

Andemn FEBRUARY .94: AUGSBURG BULLETIN ouoowomo Better Even Than Building a Town... He says that he may "go broke" doing it but his home village of Westhope, North Dakota is going to be a transformed town, and its benefactor is to have the thrill of his life building a whole set of brand new business establishments. The main character in the "drama of Westhope" (now perhaps more appropriately Nru'bope) is a farmer who was angered by some too-quick (he thought) police-tagging of his car for over-parking in Minot. As reported by the news wire service he was brooding over the matter on the way home. The idea came that he could "get even" by building up his own little town, which lies near the Canadian border, in such a way that he and his neighbors would not have to drive many miles and patronize Minot merchants for so many of their purchases. Furthermore, and as an after thought he decided to put in charge of these new business houses former "G.I.'s" and to work out a plan whereby they could acquire the property for themselves. These things are being done in a business-like way (the buildings are already nearly completed) and the chances are good that besides revolutionizing the appearance and activity of Westhope, the benefactor is really going to get the thrill of his life out of what he is doing; especially as he is able to help a number of "G.l.'s" get on their financial feet. All this is in spite of the facr that the original motive for the whole thing may not have been the purest. We know of one "thrill" that is greater. The Methodist preacher and his wife down South who in- herited oil-lands and are going 50 per cent of it to a Christian foundation know something of this thrill. So too, does the famous Le Tourneau as he builds schools and other institutions out of the earnings of his tremendous industrial activities. Now-a-days. here and there. others are catching the vision of build- ing to the glory of Christ. They are getting not only "the thrill of their lives" but also one of the inﬁnitely greater "thrills" of Eternal Life! God has made it possible in these flush times. He has allowed many a man. flat on his back ﬁnancially a few years ago to acquire tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars. Like Job of old he has more than in the days of his ﬁrst prosperity. But where is the man who will say—“Now I will spend the rest of my life and means not just for my- self. or my ownI or even in building for the glory of a community—but to the glory for God and His Kingdom? Speciﬁcally—where is the man who will dedicate his life and fortune to build Augsburg, who will say. "Show me a unit of your building needs that I can handle! Or several units! 1 want to build so that the hundreds of our own young people can use the facili- ties—and then go forth to serve God and their fel- low men." If a whole town can be built out of a less noble motive will not the Spirit of God move men to build to greater ends and to His glory an institution that builds the Eternal City of God? Or is the spirit of God in His people weaker than the "drives" in peo- ple not yielded to His will? Where is the man who will give the devil and the world and many a luke-warm Christian the Biblical answer to these questions? --N.C.A.

Show moreAugsburg's Aim: A "Culture That Is Truly Creative" Creative Recreation During the past years in Amer- ica, partly as a result of the war, there has come about a lowering of standards of con- duct in many areas of life. This has tended to modify the atti- tudes not only of the public in general but also of the mem- bers of the Christian church, whose ultimate standards must be measured by the example and teachings of Christ Himself. A major inﬂuence in bringing about this change has been a vast and costly propaganda machine, ﬁnanced by the huge proﬁts derived from enterprises appealing to men’s weak- nesses, passions, and vices. The press, the radio, the movie, and other powerful advertising media are constantly being utilized to alter people’s attitudes towards the sources of proﬁt. Thus while millions are threatened with death from the lack of life’s fundamental necessities, the energies of other mil— lions are devoted to subtly undermining the physical and moral health and strength of their fellowmen. And as the most common justiﬁcation of far-ﬂung activity we are told that, "It is all a part of business.” Man must do business to live. In such a setting, for the sake of easy gain, we are called to carry on the work of a Christian college, an institution standing for high and noble principles of conduct, and for a type of culture, in both man’s work and his play, that is truly creative—a culture that builds man instead of destroying him, that con- serves and share the precious resdurces of the world instead of dissipating or prostituting them before the gods of commercial gain. Sometimes it seems that our task is almost an im- possible one. The false ideas and ideals sown into the souls of our children by the press and radio even within the walls of our own homes, often challenge the most fundamental presuppositions of our Chris- tian faith and our Christian conception of man and man’s duty. To take but a single example: the widely accepted American attitudes toward marriage, sex, and family life is far, far removed from the teachings of Christ on this sacred subject. If we as a nation are to be saved from the curse of modern pagan ideas in this area it will require the leadership of a new group of Christian revolutionaries who are to take their stand against the false gods now so widely paraded, and to glory also in the ethical salvation given by Christ to His followers. For in many spots American life is erting from within today; and there is a real tempta- tion for those who should proclaim the remedy to compromise and condone rather than to proclaim the stern but saving teachings of Christ with courage and conviction and with great joy! Here at Augsburg both our heritage and our con- victions tell us that Christ's way of life is the best way, that it is in fact the only way that is fully worthy of man’s dignity and calling, yes, that it is ultimately the only way that human life on earth can be saved from destruction. That is why we seek to set before our students the standards of Christ in all their radicalness. Those standards are strikingly summarized in the words of Paul to Philippians Christians: "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good re- port; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” The life of man, even to his innermost thought, is to be true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, wholly virtuous. Inner Controls Desired Is this an impossible ideal of life? Not by the grace of God. Not when nurtured by a warm Christian fellowship. Not in a Christian college, if we yield our hearts to Christ; and not after we leave the Gal- lege if we have courage and faith to walk with Him. Of course, Augsburg does not desire to have her sons and daughters claimed and controlled by bonds imposed from the outside. She wants them to be free men and women, ethically free because they them- selves choose to do the things that are right, good, creative, and life-building, and not life-destroying. And if there are some among our students who do not yet see for themselves wherein lies the harm of certain activities and practice which we deem un- desirable and unhealthy in our program, we want also them to help us follow our best light as to what kind of an environment will tend to nourish and promote the ideal of life which Christ has set before us. It may, for example, be perfectly true that we cannot prove by either logic or Scripture that to drink a glass (Continued on page 7)

That is why a great deal of consideration is given" to planning other activities for Augsburg students. Special student and faculty committees cooperate in order to coordinate a program which will be in accordance with the tastes and welfare of Augsburg students. Those activities are planned which will enrich student life and pro vide wholesome relaxation. First of all, many of the students' experiences cen' ter about religion and practical Christianity. There are daily chapel seryices which students and faculty attend. There are also special fellowship groups which seek,to further the spiritual life on the campus and which encourage participation in church and mission work in the city. One of the groups which affords Augsburg students fellowship with other Lutheran students of the Northwest is the Lutheran Student Association. Re cently Augsburg College was host to the Land O‘Lakes Region of this association. The picture in the upper right hand corner, which appeared in the Minneapolis Star-Journal, shows two Augsburg cor eds as they prepared for this event. The Augsburg College Choir is an organization which has gained national fame and recognition. The a capella choir of nearly sixty voices is under the able direction of Professor Henry P. Opseth. Besides giving several important Twin City cone certs every year, the choir makes a tour through' out the various communities of the Northwest. Members of the choir are regular college students who have tried out on a competitive basis. Augsburg offers other music opportunities in the college band, quartets, trios, and various other musical organizations.

Show moreﬂomemakerd in the Making A recent addition to the curriculum at Augsburg College is the department of Home Economics. At the head of the department is Miss Ruth Segolson, formerly an instruc' tor at the University of Minnesota. The pro, gram is one of home economics in general education and most classes are open to both men and women. Students who wish trainr ing for home economics as a profession will ﬁnd courses which are comparable to courses offered in the ﬁrst two years of institutions offering a major in home economics, and will need to transfer to such an institution for professional training. A variety of courses are offered for the young woman interested in homemaking and the solution of personal problems. The home economics program at Augsburg offers courses in nutrition, clothr ing selection and related art, home planning and furnishing, clothing construction, meal planning and preparation, home manage' ment, child care and development, consumer education, income management, and crafts. \ The picture above was part of a feature on home economics at Augsburg, which appeared in the Women‘s News section of the Minneapolis Tribune. It shows Miss Ruth Segolson, the home economics instructor, and several of the students comparing various color schemes for home decorations.
