Han bygget graineriet for os da jeg vår en . l iten pike, og vi blev svært glad i hverandre — den gamle mand og jeg. Den sidste gang jeg saa ham bad han mig om at plante en blomst paa hans grav. Ja, jeg har ikke glemt det og hadde det vært vårens tid, hadde jeg nok plantet blom- sten nu . Hadde anledning at overvære forskjellige mø- ter i frikirker, og evangeliet lød altid klart og varmt. Tilsammen bekjendte vi vor synd, bad om tilgivelse og læste vor troesbekjendelse. Det var noget alvorlig og højtidelig ved gudstjenestene. Men, mens jeg sat der på bænken, kom jeg til at huske bønner — simple, troskyldige bønner — som jeg så ofte hadde hørt de gamle derute paa gravgaarden be------------ og jeg savnet de bøn- ner. Kom i stribet til at undres paa hvilke gudstje nester bragte de største velsignelser, de som vi nu har, eller de som saa ofte indbefattet bønnskÉ av kristne menighetslemmer, som også endog iblandt forsøkte at holde gudstjeneste selv naar presten ikke kunde være tilstede. Jeg tror at prædikanter blev mindre kritisert den tid. Naar de kristne selv får smake litt av hvad det betyr at staa og forsøke at be og tale evangeliet for folk som ikke altid bryr sig endog om at høre — ja saa faar man sympati for pre- Og ikke bare det. Undres bm det ikke biir mere av en alvorssak for menighetslemmer dersom de vet at presten maaske vilde be dem om at be gynde eller slutte med bøn ved gudstjenesten? Der som saa hændte, hvad skulde man si? Hvad skulde man be om? Når man skal be, saa skulde man jo paa forhånd vite at man maatte mangle noget. Mangler man noget da? Mon tro ikke sådanne tanker vilde hjælpe til at gi Guds ransakende ånd indgang i hjertene? Og de som sitter og hører paa da! Naar man hører sine egne naboer be om Guds hjælp, mon det ikke kunde komme til at vække spørsmaal i deres hjerter om de ikke ogsaa kunde trænge til at be til Gud! Hvis ikke, hvorfor ikke?. Man er jo kjendt med Mark. 8, 37. Det er jo et forfærdelig vers, ja — vi kunde alle saa ofte ha godt av at prøve os der. Det sies at de ting som man bærer tilfælles, blir lettere at bære. Det skulde vel ikke ogsaa bli til fældet, montro, med vore synder? Føler vi egent lig syndebyrdene som vi burde så at de gjør os ængstelige? Det er nu ralfald sikkert at enhver av os må engang, før eller senere, møte Herren med disse byrder alene. Det maa bli en individuel sak for den enkelte. Vi er alle blit meget æsthetiske i de sidste aare- ne. Alt skal ske med orden — og uforst.v'rrende — ogsaa i vore gudstjenester. Undres bare under hvilke omstændigheter Guds Aartd kart virke Blandt de mange velsignelser som blev mig til del under min tur, husker jeg som fremstaaende, en kvinde som bad sin voksne søn be bordbønnen. Han børet sit heole og bad velsignelsen i faa, enkle egne ord. Det gjorste mit hjerte godt. Kanhænde der er mange unge og ældre kristne blandt os som nok kunde be dersom de blev op muntret dertil. Og maaske det vilde glæde Far deroppe! Et litet barns skrik eller pludren er ikke videre musikalsk at høre paa, men som forældre vet vi nok hvorledes det kan dra i hjertestren- gene. Barn som er altfor tyste gir grund til æng stelse. Gud gi at der altid maatte vedbli at være rik anledning for Guds Aands ledelse og velsignelse i ''aHc vore lutherske kirker.

Det store som sker for vore ørne i tekstens situa tion er at mennesker forlater sin syndige fortid og kommer til sjælelægen og blir lægt og følger saa ham paa hans véi i Guds rike.

Show moreDjVu hidden text layer ) FOLKEBLADET vanskelig for det naturlige hjerte at tore — dette nemlig, at “naarjeg er skrøpelig, da H jeg sterk." Ingen er istand til at undervise, opdrage og ut- danne slik som Gud. Alle som vil lære av ham, alle som isandhet ønsker at bl! istandsat og utrustet for tjenesten i hans vingaard, maa være alene med ham, omringet — hedged in — av ørken erfaringer, Så man kan lære at kjende den tro som gir en kraft til at holde ut. Det er da at livets værd og betydning får den rette avpasning. Da blir vi uttømt av vore egne tanker og begynder at forstaa hvad Herrens vilje er. Da falmer og visner vor egen kraft og vi blir "sterke i Herren og i hans vældes kraft." Moses begyndte sine ørkenerfaringer begunsti get med store naturlige begavelser — han hadde mestret hele egyptens visdom og var således en mand paa samfundets høider, med et fint polert, væsen — en mand som var skikket til med glans at kunne beklæde hvilkensomhelst høi stilling i samfundet. Moses kom ut av ørkenens indre med sin men- neskelige stolthet og ære for altid lagt i støvet og med Guds evige sandheter som et klippefast underlag for sin tro og kraft til at holde ut. I de ensomme aar, avskaaret fra al naturlig hjælp, lærte Moses at “bo i den høiestes skygge." I den guddommelige nærværelses alvor og stilhet, langt borte fra den menneskelige uro og travel- het og den virksomme tjenestes staak og brask, lærte han at være helt afhængig av Gud, at leve i et dypt samliv med ham og at kjende den eviges røst. Litt efter litt, i samme grad som det gamle menneske med al dets stolhet og kraft blev agtet som dødt, blev Moses mere og mere kjendt med Guds veier og tanker, like til den underfulde dag, da høidepunktet var naadd, og Moses mottok fra den brændende tornebusk sit diploma — eksa- mensbevis — fra Guds forberedende skole og fik derved hvad man kan kalde “a renewed commis- sion”:—et fornyet opdrag eller hverv. Da var det at den almægtige og uforanderlige tilfulde aapen- baret sig for Moses og talte om sig selv og sine planer — noget som vilde ha vært umulig i Mosles’ yngre år, da den impulsive, kjødejige paagaaen- het hersket i hans hjerte. Til en dæmpet, men mottagelig og lydhør sjæl, lød nu ordene: “Saa skal du si til Israels barti: Jeg er (fra den sam- me rot som ordet Jehova) har sendt mig 'til En underfuld avslutning på de ensomme og slitsomme aar i ørkenen, en underbar gradutions- dag i troens forberedende skole hos Gud! Moses begir sig nu paa veien for at gjøre sin ungdo msdrøm til virkelighet, styrket av Herren til at utholde alle vanskeligheter og hele det tun ge ansvar, som vilde bli forbundet med den leder stilling som han fra nu av skulde ipdta blandt sit folk — en lederstilling som verden næsten aldrig v har set make til, hverken før eller siden — sterk i Herrens krige var Moses itu blit, fordi han hadele vært omringet — hedged in — av prøvelser og lært at "Guds kraft fuldkommes i skrøpelighet." Og som Gud handlet med Moses, saa har han handlet med sine barn til alle tider. Pauluif opglødet av synet paa veien til Dama skus, længtende efter at gjøre godt igjen, hvad han før hadde gjort av det som var galt, begeist- ret over sit kald fra Gud ved Herrens egen aapen- barelse til at bli hedningenes apostel, ogsaa han, hvis sjæl var fyldt av nidkjærhetens og paagaaen- hetens ild, fik høre et “vent litt" fra Herren. Og Paulus gik "avsides" og opholdt sig i Arabiens ørken i tre lange aar. Da han gik avsides hadde han det bedste kjend1 skap til loven og profetene; han hadde en fuld kommen menneskelig utdannelse og en sterk, im pulsiv og nidkjær sjæl. Men under ensomhet i Guds ørkenskoles stilhet blev der plantet i hans hjerte et rikt forraad av sandhet, der senere fandt uttryk i 13 av de mest storslagire breve som nogensinde er blit skrevet. Det er et forandret menneske, soipicommer ut av Guds skole. Det er guddommeligkjærlighet og visdom som leder den overvirkelystne sjæl ind i de vanskelige ørkenoplevelser — steder\ og omstendigheter, hvor vi blir “hedged in” for ut vi kan lære at fan kraft at holde ut. Vær stille, vær rolig! Det er Gud som sætter sine store planer igjennenr. Han har ikke glemt det hverv han gav dig. Han har ikke tilintetgjort din drøm om tjeneste i hans vin- gaard. Han bare leder dig ind paa den vet hvor isandhet du alene kan bli grundig utdannet og utrustet for den gjerning som ligger foran dig. Naar vi kan lære at agte ørkenoplevelsene for idel glæde, idet vi er fast overbevisst om at alt arbeider saa at si sammen til det gode for den som elsker Gud — naar vi kan prise ham midt i prøvelsene, som vi er omgit av — ja, da er vor ud frielse nær forhånden. Det er i den mørkeste stund av ørkenoplevelsene, at Guds aapne dør vi- ser sig i forgrunden. Det er naar vi fristes som værst til at hvile paa det himmelske syn, at vi pludselig med undrende øie faar skue Herrens “De som helt har tillid til ham de vil ‘finde’ at han helt er tro.”

Og: Hver den som nsevner Herrens navn, skal avstaa fra uretfærdighet. 2 Tim. 2, 19. Læs vers 19 til 21. Vi lever i en tid da grundvolde som mennesker har lagt holder paa at ramle. Og det er et kjen- demerke paa endens tider. Paa alle omraader: i politik, i det sociale liv, i økonomi og i det jnoral- ske og religiøse liv, merker vi opløsende bevægel ser, som sætter an mot prøvede forhold, teorier, sæder og institutioner, som folk har trodd og levet paa i lange tider. Isandhet, grundvoldene anfal des og mange falder sammen. Det peker henimot et kaos, som er den gunstige tid og anledning fyr Antikrist at etablere sit herredømme over fol- Ogsaa Gud, hans ord og lære er blit gjenstand for anfald og kritik. Der er allerede mange av dem som fører falk lære om Gud og om frelsen i Kristus Jesus. Deres vildfarelser “æter om sig som dødt kjød” og de "nedbryter troen hos no gen." vs. 17-18. Dette forekommer endog inden det kristne- samfund, og flere av disse “vrang- lærere” vil endog gjælde for ledere inden den kristne kirke. Paulus formaner Timoteus at være paa vakt og holde sig borte fra disse, og Herrens tro tjenere i vor tid trænger at ta denne forma ning til hjerte. Men Guds fåte grundvold staar dog, sier apo- stelen, og dette er vor trøst og vor grund til fri- mod ighet, glæde og sikkert haap, naar vi skuer ind i fremtiden. Hjørnestenen og grundvolden er jo Kristus og hans ord, og huset bygget derpaa er hans menighet; men likesom grundvolden og huset hører sammen, saaledes Kristus og hans me nighet. Ti Guds menighet er Kristus og hans troende, som ogsaa kaldes Guds hus. Og Jesu løfte er at “helvedes porte skal ikke faa over- haand over den.” Vistnok har det altid vært dem som lar sig lede på avveie og falder fra naaden. Men ingen tiende1, skal formaa at ødelægge Guds folk, tiltrods for alle angrep. Guds faste grund- vold staar dog, og skal staa indtil Herren kom- f Herrens hus har sit indsegl, staar der. Det var almindelig i hine dage at sætte indskrifter både paa dørstolper og grundsten; dette segl betegner husets eiermand og karakter. Guds menighet har faat den Hellige Aand til segl. “Han satte sit ind- segl paa os og gav Aanden til pant i vore hjer- ter.” 2 Kor. 1, 22; Ef. 1, 13. Ved Aanden fik du visshet i dit hjerte at du er Guds barn og hører Gud til. Det er salig at eie dette segl; og blir det dunkelt for dig, da søk lys i ordet og Gud Aand skal gi lys i hjertet om din barneret, og befæste dig i troen. Dette segl har en dobbelt indskrift. Først: “Herren kjender sine." Dette ord er en kilde til trøst for de troende, især i mørke tider. Gud kjen- der hjertets længsel og sukke, også da naar du ikke godt kan uttrykke din trang og længsel i tanker og ord; men Faderen forstaar sit barn. I den organiserte kirke er der altid dem som nok hører til kirken men som ikke hører Gud til. Men Herren kjender som sine alle som er i Kristus Jesus og har sin tilflugt og trøst i ham. La men- nesker tro og tænke om dig hvad de vil; la det være dig nok at Gud anser dig som sit barn. Den anden indskrift er: “Hver den som nævner Herrens navn skal avstaa fra uretfærdighet.” Vi er kaldt at bekjende Kristus både i ord og i gjer- ning; derved skal andre faa komme til at kjende hans frelse. Derfor har du faat Aanden til segl og pant. Han skal løse din tunge til at prise Gud og til at bekjende hans navn. Si til ven og nabo hvad Jesus betyr for dig. Men det gjælder ogsaa at vidne i liv og virke, at avstaa fra uretfærdighet i handel, vandel og al omgang med mennesker. Vi er jo kaldt at være verdens lys og jordens salt; isandhet et høit og hellig kald. Vi maa si med apostelen: Hvo er dertil dygtig? “Vor dyg- tighet er av tiud,” sier han. I den organiserte menighet er der “kar til ære og kar til vanære.” Som Guds barn med Aandens indsegl er vi kaldt til at “være ærens kar, bruk- bar til al god gjerning, helliget og nyttig for Her ren.” Er vi saadanne brukbare, nyttige, ærens kar, som han får fylde med sin naade og sin Aand? Om det ofte mislykkes for os og om vi ikke når langt frem, la dog aldrig glemme: Guds fas£ grundvold staar dog. P. O. Laurhammer.

Da kirken laa noksaa langt ute paa lan- det, blev det spørsmaab om det ikke vilde være mere fordelagtig for menigheten at bygge kirke i nærmeste by. Imidlertid var der mange baand som bandt menigheten til den gamle kirketomt. Det blev da besluttet at gjenopbygge kirken paa samme sted. I mellemtiden har menigheten holdt sine møter paa en sal i Beardsley. Søndag den 23de oktober blev den nye kirke indviet i forbindelse med kredsmøtet som holdtes i Holden menighet. Pastor M. E. Helland, formand for Willmar kreds, ledet indvielsesfestlighetene. Pastor Chr. G. Olson holdt indvielsestalen. Han fremholdt hvilken glædesdag dette var for menigheten. Gud har git os meget at glæde os over, men den stør- ste glæde findes i samfundet med Jesus. To av menighetens forhenværende prester var tilstede, C. M . Johnson og L. B . Sateren; likesaa en av menighetens egne sønner, pastor Geoorge J. Knudson. Disse frembar hilsener. Skriftlige hil sener var sendt av pastor J. P. Leeland og pastor Peder Konsterlie. Fåtor L. Bomgren av Augu- stanasynoden frembar en hilsen paa vegne av prester og menigheter i nabolaget. Nu har menigheten et rummelig, vakkert kir- kehus, hvor den kan samles om ordet og sakra- mentene. Menighetens prest, pastor Harold Nydahl, som i længere tid maatte opholde sig på hospital i Minneapolis paa grund av “polio”, er nu saa bra at han kan ta vare paa menighetsarbeide.

FIGHT, AUGGIES F-I-G’H-T-I Wednesday morning. Novem' her 2, the Augsburg Gym was ﬁlled with students who were bubbling over with an abundance of enthusiasm for the Homecom' ing festivities which oﬁcially bet gan at that time. _ Highlighting the pepfest pro- gram were the introduction of the three queen candidates, Ann Bise- ide, DeDe Farm and Snell: Hop- lin by Al Mateyko, and the in- troduction of the ’49 Football team with special mention of the painting seniors, by Coach Edor Nelson. (Io-Captains Bob Howells and Bud Leak expressed the de- termination of the team to win this Homecoming game against the Redmen from St. Mary's. The Convocation program also included several numbers by the band, cheerleading by the yell club, who introduced some new yells. and an outline of Homecom' ing aetmncs by Frank Arie, Stu: dent Body President and Jim An- Homccoming Chairman. » says in regard to this week, “Initiating and strengthening spiritual life should be the primary concern of each student at Augsburg. To be recon~ oiled to deeper communion and fellowhip with Him is to ﬁnd true riches. To present Christ through whom this is possible is the pur— purpose of Spiritual Emphasis Week. May each student he earnestly concerned for this pre~ sentation that its mmage may take root.” During this Spiritual Emphas.s \Veck. specially prcparcd Chapel periods will be led by Phil Quan- beck, Rev. Merton Srrommen, Marilyn Larson. Dr. john Stens- vaag and Rev. Lawrence Gudmt" stad. Following the Chapel period on Wednesday. November 9, a special student-presented Spiritual Emphasis Week Convocation will be presented. The entire program will be student led. Bill Holtc, Augsburg basketball and former Athletic Director, Jan Nielsen Student Council Member and Secretary of the Augsburg Lu- ther League. and Don Thorson.

We discover many of our thoughts and actions have been deﬁniter un-Christian; we ﬁnd our lives have not been as esteemisble and desirable as they might be. Some of us will ﬁnd, perhaps to our amazanerit, that we are ashamed of the Gospel. Spiritual Emphasis Week should be personal to every student. It should be a period of self-examination, and a period of prayer for forg‘veness and strength. Begin praying now. that you might not be ashamed of the Gospel. Pray that Spiritual Emphasis Week may bring blessings you may carry with you always. > “But seek ye ﬁrst the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you."

The group gathered round a huge Dormitories Compete for Open House Honors With “Redmen Behind in '49" as a basis, the occupants of the dormitories worked out their in' dividual slants in the decoration of their houses. The occasion was the annual Open House on Thursday evening. Morton Hall concentrated on the Indian theme, with Redmen bombarded from Auggie forts at all sides. Sivertsen chose to “Sail on to victory” over St. Mary’s. U.S.S. Sivertsen’s two decks were man- ned by enthusiastic sailors. Me- morial Hall’s Alpha House was a big steamship, signifying Auggie victory and leaving the Rodmen far behind in their obsolete row- boat. St. Mary's was behind the Sr ball in Beta Housc. wherc rhr optumistic men predicted an over whclming Auggie victory. Edda House centered their dec- orations around the Homecoming theme, “Progress Made Mamv fest," by the phases of development at Augsburg—as a men’s college, as changed by the coming of the coeds, as in 1949, and as a future ultra—modern, atomioage institution. Decorations also followed the progress idea at the Vet‘s Annex, where thevhumorous angle was predominant, With all the dorms enthusiast tically vying for the coveted prize for dorm decorations, and With all of them eagerly attempting to portray the Homecoming themes, the Auggie Tech Campus truly took on a new and different look. The cooperation, work and en! thusiasm put into the dorm dee' onting is but a small sample of what Auggies working as a team can accomplish.

Bob. who graduated from North School in Minneapolis. con' tinned his education at the University of Minnesota. While there. he was captain of thc foothill turn in 1941 and received All'Conler' encc honors. From that: Bob wcnt on to play professional football with the Philadelphia Eagles. This is Bob‘s ﬁrst year in coaching, but he ccrtainly llJS been an asset to the Augsburg squad this year. In Edor‘s opinion. this year's squad is far improved over any that he has coached since coming to Augsburg. The team is losing some ood seniors this year. but Edor expects some help from the new freshmen. So. with most of this year's team returning next year and some good help from the newcomers. Edor and Bob expect to give the rest of the state college teams a rough time next year.

A Thousand Hark To Science Hall llCome See" Augsburg held Open House in the new Science Hall on Sunday. October )0. from I to y p. m. and on Monday eve- ning. October 3|. from 7 to 9:30 p. m. Approximately a thousand people from Minneapolis and vicinity took advantage of this opportunity to see the building from bottom to tap. Guides were available who took the visitors in groups. explain- ing intricacies of construction and design as they went along. Each tour was very appropriately concluded with 'colfee' at the dining hall. Remarks heard were always the same. "What a beautiful buildingl" "What care- ful phoning." "What a unique Chapel!" "Thank you for an enjoyable and en- lightening hour." 50 Augsburg goes on—humbly thank- ful for the many gifts which made the Science Hall. its ﬁxtures and furnishings possible. lts expanded program has been immediately accepted as vital and neces- sary-«he ﬁrst hurdle in the twenty-year building program.

Show moreWith the Aussie Battlers Gridiron Gleanings Bulletin readers will be interested in a resumé of the football season which we can honestly say was very successful, al- though the final standings in the con- ference don't put the Auggies in the up- per bracket. Two wins, two ties and three losses make up the record for the season. The ties tell a story in that both oppos- ing teams tied have gone on to make marks of distinction. For instance, the ﬁrst tie with Mankato ﬁnds that team going on to be champions in their Con- ference. Then the 'even-stephen’ game with Macalester was something of a feat, since Mac went on to defeat a highly- touted Gustavus eleven and to end the season in ﬁfth place. The losses to St. Thomas (undefeated Conference Champions), St. John's and St. Olaf were not run-aways, that is for ssre, and all the teams felt they had stiffer opposition from Augsburg this year than they have had for many years. De- fensively the Auggies were quite brilliant and ranked third among the Conference teams in total points scored against. Of- fensively they lacked the necessary scor- ing punch. However. the Auggies wound up the season in a blaze of glory with a win of 27-6 against St. Mary's. This was a ﬁtting conclusion to the season and to an otherwise successful Homecoming. Prospects for next year are very bright since most of the squad is returning. There will be a serious loss at the guard posi- tion since All Stater Bob Howells and Bud Leak, co-captains, are graduating. But many of the sophomores have shown promise and with more experience are expected to ﬁll the breech. Backﬁeld ta- lent is sorely needed but who knows what the passing interim may uncover? What About Basketball? Basketball prospects are good. It may be said here that many of the regular members of last year's squad are ﬁnding it hard to keep their berths since there is Such a wealth of polish among the freshmen. That speaks well for the Aug- gies. Competing for posts is a healthy situation and makes for 'depth' in posi- tions —- something new for Augsburg and barring unexpected reversal of form, the. supporters of the "Maroon and Grey" should this year see some fancy basketball. Printed below is the schedule for the year. Beat in mind that all home games are played in the Minneapolis Armory. All games begin at 8 p. m., with prelim- inaries at 6:30 p. m. The z4—game sched- ule runs from December I to February 2;. Be sure to attend several games, es- pecially when the Auggies are in your vicinity.

Show morethtiatmaa . . . Why Do We Celebrate It? We usually take the most priceless things of life more or less for granted. We accept the beauty of God's nature, Our health, the love of those who are dearest to us, etc.. in a very matter—of—fact manner. 50 it is also with Christmas. We give and receive gifts. We feast and fuss. We even go to church. And once again Christmas passes. But what has it meant? Why do we celebrate Christmas? The Christmas Gospel gives us the answer. We celebrate Christmas because the birth of Jesus is the greatest manifestation of God's love for man. "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son." Never before, and never since, did God so fully reveal His love for man. We celebrate Christmas because the birth of Jesus is the an— swcr to the real needs of mankind. A certain minister spoke to a business man who was not a member of any church. He said, uI have come to speak to you about big things." “What big things?" asked the business man. "The big things which center in the manger at Bethlehem," replied the minister. Most peo- ple do not believe that. Throughout history men have believed that material things are the big things. and they have spent their lives for the things that are material and physical as though human happiness could be found only in them. We are sure, however, that no man can be truly happy, no matter how great his material wealth, unless he can look up to God and say with quiet conﬁdence, "My Father." But of ourselves you and I cannot look up to God, for we are sinners. We must look away, because our souls are tainted, and our consciences are burdened. It was for the purpose of providing divine mercy and making possible the forgiveness of our sins, thereby eﬂecting a peace between God and men, that Jesus came. And this He did not only for a few, not only for a certain class of people, but for all men. We celebrate Christmas because it assures us that it is God who is on the throne of the universe. There are some who still believe that this universe runs on ungoverned, that whatever happens, happens as a matter of blind fate. Others believe that the affairs of all men are in the hands of a few "masters of mankind.” Perhaps Augustus thought just that when he gave the command that all the world should be taxed. Little did he realize that he was only a tool used by God to carry out His plans for the salvation of mankind. The prophet had said that the Christ should be born in Bethlehem, and Augustus must make his contribution to the end that God's plans were carried out. It was so then; it is so now. We are not at the mercy of blind chance, nor are we the helpless victims of those "masters" who would push us about. We are the sons and daughters of Godl In His own way and in accord with His plans of mercy and love He will overrule even the tragic situations of life to bring us His blessings. This we learn from the Christmas story. This is why we celebrate Christmas. --REV. PAUL SONNACK, Instructor in Church History. Open Letter To All Alumni: As this issue of the Bulletin goes to press, your Alumni Sec- retary will be beginning his ﬁeld work. I look forward with great anticipation to seeing old Auggie classmates, and estab- lishing new friendships among those Auggies who have grad- uated in more recent years and who have taken their places of service in their various lines of endeavor. You have been informed that much of my time will be used in the procurement of students for Augsburg. My plans are to see the Pastor and Superintendent of Schools in each Lu- theran Free Church locality, as well as to visit Alumni and pros- pective students from these localities. My contacts will, of necessity, be hurried, since the area to be covered is so large. It perhaps will not be possible, because of distances and expense involved, to go further than Minnesota and its bordering state this year. But we would like to assure all friends of Augsburg that we need your assistance. If you know of a person who in your estimation is of college calibre, and whom you should like to see enroll at Augsburg, then we humbly beseech you to send us his name and address. Our office will see to it that your prospect receives appropriate literature. You will be doing the student and your school a real service. As I travel among you, I will be very much interested in do— ing what I can to promote local or district Alumni meetings. I hope that you will feel free to discuss with me your opinions on this subject. Think of it in this way: "What can we do to establish an activeﬁssociation in our area?" It was most pleasant to see so many of you at Homecoming. I believe that everyone who came had some vivid experience that will long live in the memory. The new Science Hall resounded with “Oh’s” and “Ah's” of-astounded people. A remark heard often was: “What a different Augsburg from what I knew—yet the ideals and aims are always the same." The Choir Concert was beautifully rendered to a full Trinity and touched at the heartstrings of all who heard. May I then take this opportunity to thank all of you, Alumni and friends, for your good wishes to this ofﬁce, both by letter and by word. We stand ready at all times to do what we can to promote the welfare of the "Augsburg Family." H. NORMAN HANSON. Continuous and multipliod reactions from BULLETIN roadors convince us that the news soction Ia "tops" in roador lntorost. Will you help us improvo tho nows covorago by supplying some items concerning yourself or othor Auggios? Somo ordinary sub- iects aro: marriogos, promotions, now positions, dogroos, doaths, achievement rocovds, otc. We will approciato tho information concerning oach itom boing as full as pouiblo. Io suro that namos oro spollod corroctly and all information is aocuroto. Due to tho reorganization of tho Alumni oIIico, our addrou filo: and mailing lists lack many of your prosont addvosaos and information about you. We are horo to sorvo you, tho BULLETIN is for you, so if you know of somoono who doos not roeoivo ono, it moans that his copy has boon roturnod to our boskot lacking his eorroct addross. So right now will you send us a penny postcard with tho no- cossory information? It will auuro you of constant contact wlth Auggie Alumni all over. Wo do want to hoar from you. Thanks for any assistaneo you might givo us. THE EDITOR.
