His face was full of deep wrinkles, which branched off in all directions and seemed to indicate the path of his journey thru life. The lines of his mouth were bent downward and seemed to portray the sad emptiness of his soul. 'He had a firm chin, a long, red nose, and a broad forehead. His hair, which had been black, was begin- ning to turn gray. As the man looked at me, I noticed that he trembled slightly, and that his face darkened. Perhaps my person caused him to recall his home and children. Probably he saw in his vision the scene of years ago when he sat in his comfortable home with his jolly, happy boy upon his lap, the boy whom he once loved and was interested in. Whatever his thoughts may have been, they were sad recollections, which seemed to move his conscience. ' The man uttered another oath and passed on down the road, stagger- ing from side to side. As I stood and watched him until he disappeared in the distance, I thought: “What a stormy sea life has been for this man. He has had a rough voyage, and the waves of temptation have dashed him against the rocks of sin. Will I dare to set sail upon the dangerous sea of life ?” But these words of the poet soothed my anxious soul as I continued my journey: “jesus, Savior, pilot me, Over life’s tempestuous sea: Unknown waves before me roll, Hiding rocks and treach’rous shoal; Chart and compass come from Thee. Jesus, Savior, pilot me. As a mother stills her child, Thou canst hush the ocean wild; Boisterous waves obey thy will When Thou say’st to them “Be still!” “Wondrous Sovereign of the sea.” Jesus, Savior, pilot me. When at last I near the shore, And the fearful breakers roar, ’Twixt me and the peaceful rest, Then, while leaning on Thy breast, May I hear Thee say to me. “Fear not. I will pilot thee." A. S. Berg.

Show more1* AUGSBURG mo “Hunger and Cold” he contrasts the luxury of the rich with the misery and poverty of the poor. He stamps as the Devil’s theory the statement we so often hear that “it is God’s plan that some should starve and toil while others share the wine and oil.” Lowell believes in equality and his heart goes out to the suffering multitudes. In “The Landlord” he condemns the miserly landlord who squeezes the last cent from his tenants in order to enrich his own coffers. Lowell believes that it is his duty as a poet to help allay the suffering of the poor and in his poem “To the Future” he says, “Where are most sorrows, there the poet’s sphere is.” His Christianity was a practical one. He believed that Christ was not found by following dogmatic creed or by simply worshipping in temples made with hands, but he believed that Christ was found thru service. He believed in the Gospel of the Good Samaritan who bound up the wounds of the injured traveller and gave him a lift. In “The Search” he tells how he looked for Christ in the world ’mid power and wealth as he expected to find Christ, the King, there, but he sought in vain. Then he turned to the poor and outcast and there in the rude hovel he found Him. He discovered that Christ’s kingdom was not among the wealthy, but “His throne is with the outcast and the weak.” Lowell believed in tolerance in religion and in “Ambrose” he clearly brings this out. This poem tells about a monk who believed that he had the true faith and he determined to make everyone believe his creed, and those who refused to believe as he did were burned or boiled or tortured in other horrible ways. But one day he had a vision which opened his eyes and he saw that the spirit and not the creed was the essential thing. Lowell was devoutly religious and had a firm faith in God, but he had no use for cant and bigotry. He believed in an “Honest-to—God” re- ligion and he had the utterest contempt for those who sought to hide their wickedness by hypocritically playing with religion. He believed that “Religion is a good armor, but a poor cloak.” In “A Parable” he shows his scorn for those who have made the church a sort of a house of merchandise instead of a house of prayer, and asks: “Have ye founded your thrones and altars, then, On the bodies and souls of living men? And think ye that building shall endure, Which shelters the noble and crushes the poor?” Lowell had a deep reverence for the purity of womanhood and the Show less

The mterial is well arranged. altho we must conclude, since the publication lacks both a musical and an athletic department, that music and athletics must be of minor interest at that institution. The Intercollegiate News Service says that there is "an average decrease of 22% from their previous maximum enrollments in normal schools this year, while colleges and universities show an average increase of 15%. Only nine normal schools out of 74 report- 'Ig to President Butcher of Kansas State Normal list their present en- mllments as equal to or above their previous maximums. Several of the schools are down 50% in attendance. Low salaries of teachers seems to be the principal cause.” “The United States is carrying on two colossal experiments in educa- tion. One is to conduct its schools largely thru the services of unmarried ladies who average three years teaching before they get married. The wound is to give education without religion. The United States has yet to prove that it will succeed in either or both of these experiments.“— Prof. Simon, U. of Montana. The hardest opponent this year seems to be the “flu”, for it has kept us out of many games lately. But for it we should have played some more games, and brought home some victories. Because of the needed public precautions, it has been necessary to postpone games. The return came with Luther and the game with Concordia could not be phyed, the latter being cancelled. Our team was victorious over Con- cordin on their floor, and we felt almost certain of being able to repeat on our floor. The game with Luther will be played at a later date.

"Take it, or leave it.” The February issue of the National Geographic Magaa'm is charac- terized by two terms: beautiful and thrilling. It contains a series of unusual illustrations of winter scenes, in connection with two articles on winter outings. These pictures afford us pleasure only as we study them closely. We are apt to become shallow and puerile in our appreciation of illustrations. Our tastes seem to run toward the spectacular and garish, toward the extraordinary in color schemes, or toward the sug- gestiver banal. Our tendency in illustrations is similar to our taste in fiction. We demand that which is immediately suggestive, or entirely manifest. We are too mentally lazy to appreciate anything which calls for any exercise of the imagination. We are not satisfied with natural beauty, excepting as it is portrayed in distorted. or immense, or distinctly miniature forms. The ordinary does not delight us. The picture car- rying the title “A Frosty Morning on the Open Road” (facing page 151) shows nature in her simple beauty. The scene is not unusual; its counterpart c'an be found almost anywhere in our own state. It awakens in us a singular feeling of homely happiness. Joy in its primal form. the exuberant joy of youth, the wholesome and exhilarating joy of life in the open. joy such as children feel, but grown people despair of re- discovering—such is the nature of the feeling aroused by a study of this picture. And yet, we almost passed it by unnoticed. Those who enjoy the thrill of the unusual, and especially of the dangerous. should read two articles in the Geographic, entitled “The Removal of the North Sea Mine Barrage” and “Where the World Gets Its Oil.” The former explains how the hazardous task of clearing the navigable waters of the war time mines and depth bombs was ac- complished. The latter article is a vivid exposition of the dangers and difficulties attending the sinking of oil wells. Imagine the problem which confronted the engineers who tapped an oil vein of such a force that it sent a column of oil 600 feet into the air. This particular oil well, Curro Azul No. 4, completely wrecked the drilling apparatus and derrick which were used in the sinking of the well. The engineers succeeded; and the story of their sucess reads like fiction. This issue of the Geographic is unusually interesting. t x. t Some students seem to have a distaste for. or probably we might Show less

In “Irene” and “My Love" he extols the virtues of a true woman. He looked upon love as being not mere senti- ment, but as being pure and holy and divine. And since he did see love in its sacredness it is only natural that he believed in a single standard of morals. He had compassion for the outcast girl and disdain for the nun who caused her ruin. In “The Forlorn” he shows his compassion Ind in “A Legend of Brittany” he protests against the double standard of moral; of the world which condemns the fallen girl while excusing the man who caused her downfall. He likens the world to the Levite who refused to help his brother who had fallen among thieves. The world rushes on and pulls aside its skirts that it may not be contaminated by the fallen. Again Lowell likens the world to the Pharisee who will sit at meat with the man who caused the girl to fall “and speak’st him fair, Leaving God’s wandering lamb the while to bleat unheeded, shiver- ing in the pitiless air.” The soul of Lowell burned with righteous in- dignation at this unfair and unchristian standard which Christ himself rebuked when he told the Pharisees who brought to him the erring woman, “Let him who is innocent cast the first stone,” and when they all slunk away, he turned to the woman and said, “Neither do I con- demn thee. Go and sin no more.” Lowell hated injustice wherever he found it; therefore he could not tolerate the double standard of morals. In his early poems we find Lowell to be a fearless champion of the downtrodden and'the oppressed. He not only vehemently denounced the crushing of the poor by the rich, the hypocrisy and bigotry found in the church, and the malicious double standard of morals found in so- ciety. but he was especially fearless in denouncing slavery and pleading for Freedom. In one of his sonnets he says, “A poet cannot strive for despotism"; and thereupon he throws his whole soul into the battle for true democracy and equality. He greatly admired Wendell Phillips who gave up a brilliant career in order to dedicate his life to the overthrow of slavery. He was called a fool and a fanatic, but, as Lowell says, “He saw God stand upon the weaker side, * * * therefore he went and humbly joined him to the weaker part.” in another poem Lowell pays tribute to William Lloyd Garrison and compared him with Luther and Columbus who dared to stand alone against the opinions of the whole world. Lowell admired a man who had the courage to stand alone and fight. This thought is especially brought out in “The Present Crisis” when he an. Show less

Our exchange department acknowledges the receipt of the follow- ing exchanges for January: “The Artisan", “Wheaton College Record", “The Manitou Messenger”, “The Student", “College Chips”, “The Normal School Echo", “Maryland Collegian”, and “Picayune”. The two last-mentioned publications are new to us. We appreciate them very much. ’ “The Maryland Collegian" is edited by students of the Maryland College for Women. We were especially interested in reading the january number, because it gives us an idea of what students of the fairer sex are able to accomplish along literary lines. In looking thru the publication, we found some interesting reading material having to do with happenings of every-day life especially. Such topics as, “The Lion Tamer’s Daughter", “The Lunch Counter", “VVhat‘s happened Around M. C." etc., were discussed. Articles of that sort are enjoyable to read, but they are of little benefit to students as far as instructive or educational values are concerned. Besides having an editorial depart- ment of that sort, the number has very much material in the humor de— partment. We admit that there are many good jokes, but the majority of them seem to be copied. They lack originality. This matters perhaps not so much; it may be due to the prevailing taste of to-day. We fail to find any exchange, local, musical, or any other department in your paper save the two that have been discussed. Your material is written well; all that is lacking is a few more editorial departments to make the publi- cation representative of its school. These additions are necessary to re- port the work and events of the school to both students and alumnae. In the last issue of "The Normal School Echo”, we find a very interesting article entitled “Home”. The author has given us many beautiful thoughts concerning home life, but her style is rather loose. We quote the last and most worthy thought expressed: “First, last and always Christ in your home. May the home on earth be the entrance of our home in Heaven in which place may we all meet father, mother, sisters, brothers and friends." ‘ The article “Our Talents" deserves comment. The author has di- vided people as possessors of talents into three classes: “Those who have a special aptitude for a certain thing, who are called genii; those who have better abilities than others, who may be called gifted people; and those who do not possess many great faculties for effective perform- Show less

It was a warm .luly afternoon, when I was walking down the road. All day the sun had been throwing its warm, genial rays from the clear. blue sky. Here and there stood a humble dwelling where the tillers of the soil were busily engaged in the fields. Nature provided a living for them and their families, to be sure, but one so meager that anything beyond daily bread was a hope to be cherished, but seldom realized. Yonder stood the little village which rarely figured in the news of the nation. It was already late in the day. The sun was in the west and soon it would be slowly sinking below the western horizon. As I tramped along the hot road, I left great clouds of dust behind me. The summer had been an exceedingly dry one. On both sides of the road stood rows of corn which seemed to be stunted and starved for lack of rain. Even the trees and grass had taken on a sickly hue which indicated a lack of moisture. Now and then a squirrel or a wood- chuck would suddenly dart across the road and quickly disappear. As the rows of corn stood with their slender leaves rolled into so many spears, they reminded me of the human souls that have forgotten the source of nourishment and strength. As I walked leisurely along, I saw a man approaching in the dis- tance. He was somewhat unsteady which indicated that he must be in- toxicated. The man staggered toward me down the road. He seemed to be a sad-picture of misery and wretchedness. He was about six feet tall, and was of medium build. His clothes were dirty and ragged. and had, no doubt, seen years of usage. His shoes were torn and full of holes. The hat which he wore was pulled down over his eyes as if he was ashamed to look at the world. I was very much absorbed in the man, and before I realized it he was only a few feet from me. When he saw me, he looked up and addressed me with a curse. This man had, no doubt, once been a promis- ing youth with a great future in view, but years in the service of Satan had made deep traces and scars upon his life and character. The treach- erous temptation to drink had wrecked his life. Oh that men knew the cost of sinful pleasure! He was an elderly man. A feeling of sympathy filled my heart as I saw this man who seemed to be wrecked mentally, morally, phySically, and spiritually. His eyes were bleary and glassy. His checks were 4% Show less

This is an illusion. The fact that a book happens to be part of a set should not handicap it in any way. There is a particular set of books in the library with which all students of English should become acquainted. We refer to the Cambridge Hir- tory of English Literature.

Upon your next visit to the library, look into this invaluable set. is t it While browsing around among some magazines in a corner of the library, we happened upon an article which we think is worth while quoting in its entirety. Robert J. Burdette wrote it, and gave it the name Two Golden Days. "There are two days of the week upon which and about which I never worry, two care—free days kept sacredly free from fear and ap- prehension. One of these days is Yesterday. Yesterday with all its cares and frets. with all its pains and aches, all its faults, its mistakes and blunders, has passed beyond the reach of my meal]. I cannot undo an act that I wrought. I cannot unsay a word that I said on yesterday. All that it holds of life, of regret and sorrow, is in the hand of the Mighty Love that can bring sweet waters out of the bitterest desert—the love that can . make the wrong things right, that can turn weeping into laughter, that can give beauty for ashes, the garment of praise for the spirit of heavi- ness. joy of the morning for the woe of night. Save for the beautiful memories that linger, sweet and tender like the perfume of roses, in the heart of the day that is gone, I have nothing to do with yesterday. And the other day I do not worry about is To-morrow. To-morrow, with all its possibe adversities, its burdens. its perils, its large promises and poor performance, its failures and mistakes, is as far beyond the reach of my mastery as its dead sister—yesterday. Its sun will rise in roseate splendor, or beyond a mask of weeping clouds. But it will rise. Until then the same love and patience that held yesterday. and holds to- morrow, shine with tender promise into the heart of to-day. I have no possession in that unborn day of grace. All else is in the infinite keep- ing of that Infinite Love that holds for me the treasure of yesterday. Show less

As we study the poetry of James Russell Lowell which he wrote prior to 1850 we find in it an undying faith in the good and true in life. Lowell was an idealist and a dreamer of dreams, but he was also a man of action. He saw around him the misery and anguish caused by poverty, vice, and slavery, and he determined to dedicate his life to the overthrow of these evils. He knew that it meant rebuffs and misunder— standing and ridicule, but he was young and full of enthusiasm and courage, and he was willing to throw his life on the side of Truth. His was no mad headlong leap, for he had counted the cost and he knew what it meant, but he also knew the joy of fighting for great principles, and therefore he went into the fight bravely and with head erect. He had studied the lives of the great martyrs and reformers and he learned from them that one man who has God on his side can overcome any obstacle. As we see him throw his life into the battle for Righteousness and give his all for Truth and Freedom, we are reminded of the words of Channing: “\Vait not ’til you are backed by numbers. W'ait not un— til you are sure of an echo from the crowd. The fewer the voices on the side of Truth, the more distinct and strong must be your own.” This was the spirit of Lowell and he remained true to it until the end. Again, we are reminded of the words of Whittier, “If thou wouldst win success join thyself unto some unpopular but noble cause." This Lowell did and in his early works we find this optimistic spirit which says that some- how and sometime Right is bound to win. Lowell was no idle dreamer who believed that these things could be accomplished in a hurry, but he had faith and he had patience, and therefore he was willing to wait. In this paper I want to dicuss some of his earlier poems which reveal his devotion to Righteousness, his faith in the ultimate victory of Truth, and his love for the common people. In “An Incident in a Railroad Car” he reveals his love for the com- mon man. In this he says that it may be glorious to write thoughts that will please two or three “high souls", but that it is far better to speak simple words that will lift up the poor and the friendless, words that will give them a clearer faith and make their better selves come to light again. Lowell was a man of the common people and his heart was with them in their everyday toil. He understood them and loved them. In Show less

Both teams were a little lost at first. and our men could not get together well after that. In the rough and tumble game our team defeated the Pillsbury team 33—1). It was to be a practice game to keep the team up in fighting trim. It was, however, nothing more than a scrap to see who could have the ball most. Our team far surpassed them in playing and they tried to get around that by playing rough, but for that they were too light. There was really nothing to the game but roughness and trying to get the best of the other fellow. \Valgren and Harbo did most of the shooting for our team, while Girsing connected most for the opponents.

Han drog om ikke laenge til Arabien, hvor han tilbragte en laengere tid til betragtning 0g b¢n. Her har han muligens ogsaa mottat flere aabenbarelser fra Herren.

J¢derne var rasen- dc over at deres fordums trosfaelle var gaat over til nazaraeemes sekt. Efter et 15 dages ophold i Jerusalem drog Paulus ut som evangeliets sendebud. Det var blit klart for ham at evangeliet ikke var bare for j¢der, men alle kunde nu ved Kristus bli borgere av himlenes rike. Her var ikke hanger tale om j¢de eller grasker, trzel eller fri, men for evan— geliet var allc like.
