G. Keller Rubrecht of St. John’s Lutheran Church spoke at the Chapel exercises, \Vednesday, February eleventh. —— The “Flu” epidemic at school is about over, and the students are slowly coming back to class again. Much credit is due Miss Olson. who volunteered to assist us in caring for the'sick during the epidemic, and we wish to take this opportunity to express our thanks and appre- ciation for her splendid services. —— Arthur Jensen passed away, at the Deaconess Hospital, January 36, from Influenza-pneumonia. -— Sylvester Steen. who has been critically ill at his home, at F arming- ton, Minn, with pneumonia, is slowly recovering, and expects to be back at school in the near future. —- Wednesday evening, February eleventh, was one of those eventful evenings at Augsburg which will not soon be forgotten. At this time, as in previous years, the Faculty had arranged a reception for the students. At eight o’clock the students assembled at the Chapel where a splendid program, consisting of music and readings, was rendered. After the pro- gram Prof. Hendrickson told us that the ladies had charge of the up— stairs, and that if we would kindly go up and investigate, we might find something. Well, we investigated. T he ladies had amply done their part to make the reception a grand success. A spirit of fellowship was everywhere prevalent. No more fitting words can be used to express our appreciation than Mr. Crouch’s, who spoke in behalf of the students: “We are all mighty glad to have been here!” COIDOLENCE. Inasmuch as it has pleased God in His infinite wisdom to take our friend and fellow student, Arthur Jensen, to the Homeland above, the students of Augsburg wish to express their heartfelt sympathy with the bereaved family.

Pu hjemveien hadde hun ganske meget at baere, 0g var ofte n¢dt til at stanse for at hvile. Mens bun sitter ved veikanten, kommer Torvald, storbon- dens s¢n5 kj¢rende hjem fra byen. Han syntes ikke at se hende. Hvor kjedelig at han skulde traeffe disse fattige mennesker bestandig. De! var godt at de snart skulde reise, saa slap han da at m¢te dem allevegne. De skulde faa flytte saa snart som mulig, det skulde han s¢rge for. Dog, “mennesket spaar, men Gud raar.” Dagmar saa efter den bortkj¢rende med et vemodig blik. Hun hadde haabet at han vilde ha tilbudt hende at kj¢re med sig, for hun hadde ganske langt at gaa, 0g skulde i den samme retning. Men det var vel ikke at vente. Hun var jo bare en husmandsjente. En kort tid derefter, en varm sommerdag, tok Torvald sin baat ut for at seile. Der blaaste en frisk vind, 0g baaten fér avsted med stor hurtighet. Torvald sat 0g taenkte paa fremtiden; tanker som for (let meste gik ut paa at bygge store luftslotte. Han var saa fordypet i sine betragtninger at han ikke la merke til en'hvirvelvind som kom farende hen over sj¢en. I naeste nu laa Torvald og plasket i sj¢en, 0g baaten laa med kj¢len i veiret. Han fik tak i baaten, men var ikke istand til at komme sig op paa hvaelvet. Krampagfig holdt han sig fast i stavnen 0g ropte om hjaelp. Krafterne begyndte omsider at svigte. Han kunde ikke holde sig fast meget kenger. Skulde dette bli enden paa det hele? — — Der fulgte nogen frygtelige ¢ieblikke. Han saa sig omkring, for at 5e om der ikke kom hjaelp. Et sidste n¢drop, taket slap, 0g han sank ned i det m¢rke dyp. { Dagmar sat utenfor d¢ren til sit lille hjem i dype tanker. Hun taenkte paa hvordan det vilde gaa med dem om de blev n¢dt til at reise. Hun taenkte ikke saa meget paa sig selv, men det vilde bli saart for moren at forlate sit gamle hjem, hvor hun hadde levet i saa mange aar. Ute paa sj¢en saa hun en seilbaat fare avsted. Pludselig h¢rte hun svake n¢drop 0g saa nu at seilet er kommet bort. Der var ingen tid at spilde. Mennesker var i livsfare 0g traengte hjaalp. Hurtig sprang hun ned til sj¢en, hoppet i baaten, heiste seilet 0g avsted bar det. Hun kom ut til stedet 0g fik se en baat med kj¢len i veiret. Hun seilte teat op til hvatlvet 0g lot seilet falde.

Show more14 AUGSBURG mo “Then to side with Truth is noble when we share her wretched crust, Ere her cause bring fame and profit, and ’tis prosperous to be just; Then it is the brave man chooses while the coward stands aside.” Lowell brings out the fact that one who stands for what is right must be willing to stand alone and face ridicule and misunderstanding, but he may take courage in the conviction that God is on his side and that Truth will eventually win, for. as he says in “The Present Crisis”, “Truth forever on the scaffold. VVro'ng forever on the throne.— Yet that scaffold sways the future, and, behind the dim unknown, Standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above his own." Lowell looked upon Slavery as the worst sin of the day and called it the son of “brutish Force and Darkness”. Some of his most vehement poems were written against slavery, and Lowell can justly be called one of the greatest antislavery poets. One of his best antislavery poems is “Stanzas on Freedom” in which he calls upon the men and women of the North to help abolish slavery, and he says that as long as there is a slave in the land no one is wholly free, for anyone who does not become aroused to action when he hears of the suffering of his fellowmen is really a slave himself. This poem closes with the ringing words, “They are slaves who fear to speak For the fallen and the weak; They are slaves who will not choose Hatred, scoffing, and abuse, Rather than in silence shrink From the truth they needs must think; They are slaves who dare not be In the right with two or three.” .In spite of the prevalence of sin and seeming hopelessness of the fight for Righteousness, Lowell had a firm faith in the ultimate victory of Truth and Justice. And because he had a deep faith he had patience. In “A Glance Behind the Curtain” he says, “Truth is eternal. * * "' Her mirror is turned forward to reflect the promise of the future, not the past. He who would win the name of truly great must understand his own age and the next.” And again, “The future works out great men’s purposes.” Lowell believed in the dreams of youth, for he said in this same poem, “I find youth’s dreams are but the fluttering Of those strong wings whereon the soul shall soar In after time to win a starry throne," and in “Columbus” he says. “To have greatly dreamed precludes low Show less

Alone to heaven’s high will we bow, Trusting in Him who wisely discerning, Numbers our days, then lovingly leads us Thru the Shadows of Death to glorious life! Alone in Him we find that boundless love Which soothes with perfect peace our aching hearts. His name be praised! To bear the sorrows dark, We strengthened are! Once more at rest within! The everlasting arms enfold! His name be praised! E DI To R IA L. ONE THING 0R ANOTHER. This heading may seem rather indefinite. Well, it is. But the in- definiteness of these words, as I heard them in a recent conversation, gave rise to some ideas, which I shall attempt, with some degree of de- finiteness, to pass on to my readers. If I be definite enough, in intro- ducing these ideas, so as to excite your interest in considering the inde- finite, I shall feel satisfied that I have accomplished my purpose in this writing. One thing or another! Something or other! How vague! What indecision there must be in the mind of the person who utters these words! Yet, in the case of most people, there is hardly a day that passes but that we speak or hear spoken some such statement. Who has not overheard a contemplative conversation similar to this: “Where are you going?” "No place. Do you want to go along?" “Surely!” Judg- ing from such enlightened conversation we may well ask where the con- scious aim is. Does such talk denote that the speakers possess a definite purpose? And this spirit of indecision not only characterizes our manner of doing the minor tasks of our daily life, but it makes manifest its in- fluence when weightier matters are being considered. “What are you doing this evening?” “I don’t know.” Or, “What are your plans for next year?” “I haven’t thought of that yet.” Should we let ourselves be blown about by a spirit of indefinitencss? How about it? Are we going to do one thing, or shall we be doing an- other? Show less

They had games scheduled with Minnehaha Academy and some second teams, but were unable to play. The second team has some very good performers. Ted Nydahl is a good shot at forward. his team work is very good. Morten- sen also plays a steady game, tho not as handy at connecting with the basket for the points that count. Olson represents the immovable at center; he is sturdy and it takes a man to run over him. He has plenty of fight in him. “jack” Johnson is right there; whether a dribble or a little team work is needed he is on the job. Iverson does some very good guarding. He plays a very steady and consistent game. January 20 we had a game with Macalester. The game was well- played on the part of both teams. Fast snappy playing featured the whole game. Tho we did not beat we gave a merry chase and kept too close behind to give the other team any chance to feel safe. It ended with a score of 20—29. For the Macalester team the Greig Brothers played well. The team as a whole played snappy ball. At one period of the game our opponents tried to put us out of the running by roughing it, but that did not help as fouls were called on them. In all there were 13 fouls chalked up against them, as over against 3 for our team. A. Harbo succeeded in making 6 of the free shots count. A determination to fight and a good spirit was evident among our players. Roy Greig starred for the winners with 6 field goals, and A. Harbo for the losers. The lineup : Augsburg . illulcalesler A.

Herren ledet dem viderc mot vest. 0g i Troas hadde de et natlig syn av hvilket de iorstod at de skulde for- kynde evangeliet ogsaa i Europa. Uten at n¢le satte de over sj¢en til Filippi i Makedonien, hvor Paulus stiftet den f¢rste europaaiske menig- het. Han bes¢kte flere byer i Makedonien 0g det nuvaerende Grakcn- land, vandt store seire for evangeliet 0g dannet flere nye menigheter. Aar 54 tiltraeder han tilbakereisen, drog til Jerusalem 0g bes¢kte menig— heten der, hvorfra han reiste til Antiokia, og dermed var hans anden missionsreise avsluttet. ‘ Paa_ sin tredje reise, som varte fra 54 til 58 C. Kim, bes¢kte Paulus de menigheter som han hadde grundet i Galatien 0g Frygien. Herfra drog han til Efesus hvor han opholdt sig i to aar. Evangeliet hadde stor fremgang der i byen 0g i landskapet rundt omkring. Paulus maatte forlate Efesus. Han reiste over Troas til Makedonien, bes¢kte de me- nigheter han f¢r hadde stiftet paa det europaeiske fastland 0g styrket dc troende.

Han bes¢kte som regel ogsaa f¢rst de st¢rre byer, da disse var centrerne.

Hans nidkjaerhet for evangeliet fik ham til at trodse alle lidelser. Selv om han blev stenet, sat i faengsel, slaat, hudstrfiket, saa kunde han allikevel ikke la vxre at vidne om sin frelser.

This game helped to show some of the most unpolished spots in the workings of the team. The game was slow and lacked “pep”. The final score showed a victory with a good margin, but it could have been much better. Our opponents seemed to have a misapprehension of the words “square deal” and sportmanship in a game. The final count showed the score 33—7 in favor of the home team. The lineup was: A. Harbo R. F. Sweet A. Jerstad L. F. McIntyre H. Halvorson C. Larson S. Framstad R. G. Fredstrom J. Melby L. G. - Penny Field goals: A. Harbo 11, Jerstad 1, Framstad 2, R. Harbo 1; Penny 2, Wagner 1. Goals on fouls: A. Harbo 3, Penny 1. Substitutes were R. Harbo for Jerstad, Korsmo for Framstad, Thompson for Melby, Penny for Sweet. Wagner for McIntyre, Anderson for Fred- strom. Our first scheduled game was a disastrous one, when we lost to Luther of Phalen Park, St. Paul. The game was played on the Luther floor, and tho it was a fast, snappy game, we were outclassed because of our inability to score. The ball was in the hands of our men fully as much as in the opponents, and our men had many open shots, but they missed the cage. The game was free from roughness. The Luther team outweighed our team by a large margin. The lineup was: A. Harbo R. F. Bloede Jerstad L. F. Ulrich Halvorson C. Cronrath Framstad R. G. Kammerath Melby L G Scharfer Final score 28—6.

Flere av de europaeiske lande hadde sendt officielle reprzesentanter. ‘ Norge hadde ikke, saa vidt vi kunde finde ut, nogen officiel repraesen— tant. Sverige derimot var repraesentert ved dr.

Disse talte alle paa engelsk, undtagen den franske utsending Pierre Maury som holdt sin tale paa fransk.

Med glodende veltalenhet tolket han sine landsmaends sak. Han pekte paa de industrielle fremskridt som er gjort i Afrika i de sidste aar. “Skal,” sa han. “det kors av jernbanelinjer som nu gjennem— skjaerer Afrika fra nord til syd 0g fra gist til vest, bli for de indfodte et korsfaestelsens kors ved undertrykkelse. eller ska] det bli et kors av op- standelse fra hedenskapet ?” En av de mest interessante personer ved konferansen var Mr. Kanamori fra Japan, en evangelist. Denne mand er sikkert enestaaende i sin fremgangsmaate som evangelist. I fire aar har han praeket 800 gange, 0g hver gang har han holdt den samme praeken. Denne praeken har tre hovedpunkter og varer i tre timer. Den f¢rste time er viet til punkt én, Gud, den anden til punkt to, synd, 0g den tredje til punkt tre, frelse. Mr. Kanamori taler aldrig to gange til den samme forsamling. Naar han har talt til en forsamling, ber han dem om ikke at komme igjen, men at fortaelle andre, som ikke har h¢rt ham, om at komme. Han har i disse fire aar talt til 313,000 sjaele, og ut av disse liar 48.338 bestemt Sig for Kristus.

G. Limm’us Banks. STUDENT VOLUNTEER CONVENTION. After having gone thru all the intricacies connected with railroad rates and other arrangements, we finally succeeded in alining ourselves in car A on the Great Western Special enroute for Des Moines. As soon as we had become somewhat settled in our new quarters, the various delegates came marching thru our car and vociferously made known where they belonged and what their schools were. When the promenading had ceased and order again was restored where chaos had reigned, familiar songs could be heard. One song especially left a wonderful impression upon us: “\Vork for the night is coming,” because just then the colored porter made his debut into our society and reigned supreme. The next morning we arrived at Des Moines, where we were met with excellent hospitality. After registering, and having done justice to a good breakfast. we set out to locate the municipal Auditorium. The Auditorium is a build- ing which would seat about 1800 people. The chairs had been removed from the main floor and the whole space turned into a Gallery of the Nations. There we saw the needs of that part of the world where there is so much of misery and so little of joy. Booths erected on all sides told their various stories. Some posters told of the work done by different colleges. Others illustrated lessons in methods for arousing missionary interest. A large section of the posters brought to the mind a vivid picture of the religions of the world, their worship, and the results on the people who followed these worships. Here one was taught the de- moralizing and degenerating power of the teaching of animism and spirit worship, the fear-producing effect of Brahmanism, the hopelessness in Confucianism, and the stagnation enveloping the worshippers of Islam. Another section of exhibits, ranging down one whole side of the building, presented forcefully the horrible blackness of conditions in unchristian Show less

One look into his face is enough to force an eternal remembrance of it, because it carries tremendous earnestness as its one outstanding feature. Samuel A. Zwemer is a rather tall man, appears to be muscular, and is somewhat more attenuat- ed than full. He has a brisk manner about him which vitalizes his epigrammatical speeches. Sherwood Eddy is widely known as the author of “With our Soldiers in France”. He has a compelling habit of speak- ing his convictions without fear or favor, and so gains the hearty re- spect of every honest hearer. He is now in the prime of life, devoting the best he has to the greatest work of this generation: the preaching of the gospel to all the ends of the earth. Robert Speer and Robert Wilder impressed their listeners deeply. God has used all these men in a won- derful manner. God has moved things at a tremendous rate during the past five years. During this time, events that the ordinary course of things might have brought about in five hundred years, have transpired. Nations and kingdoms have been shaken, and many of them have fallen in the I turmoil of these five fleet but fiery years. Not only governments have been proven unstable. but whole religious systems have toppled over, proving themselves for once and for all unworthy of human faith. Men have not only lost faith in those religions, but many self-satisfied Pharisees have begun to question their self-sufficiency. But thru it all the Christian faith has shown itself to be an anchor that holds. True. some lone, questioning doubters have asked why Christianity did not avert the war. But, according to Dean Brown of Yale, they do not ask why science, the press, or business did not prevent the war. Dean Brown showed that Christianity did not prevent the war, because we did not have enough of it on hand in 1914, and some of what we did have was not of the right kind. The war was a test of Christianity. Much dross was consumed, but the foundation stood firm. To—day Christianity stands as the only unshaken faith in the world, and the gates into every nation are ajar, offering an unprecedenth opportunity for the Christian missionary to enter and work. Nearly two of every three persons in the world to-day have not heard the gospel of Jesus Christ. This great Non—Christian world is a challenge to civilization, and especially to Christianity, but more than that, it is a challenge to the individual. It is a challenge to us from the Master to take up the great work which he gave his disciples to perform: “Go ye out into all the world.” This call is not only for evangelistic Show less

Show more4,43" ' AUGSBURG ECHO 23 That unique spiritual vision which has placed upon Augsburg its indelible mark, we have inherited from the great Norwegian religious leaders, Hans Nilsen Hauge and Gisle Johnson. The evangelistic and low-churchly attitude of these men was the dynamic influence which brought Augsburg into being as an educational institution. It is still, and we hope always will be, the dominating tendency at Augsburg and in the Free Church. This movement reached a more full development here in this land of religious freedom than it did in the land of its origin, where it was hindered by bonds of a state church and ancient conventions. In the hearts of the noble men who cast aside material ambition and certain renown, to come to this unsettled country to perpetuate an ideal, there was the vision of a spiritual community, built in accordance with the principles of Hans Nilsen Hauge and his adherents. This vision they actualized, in spite of the active resistence of the high—church fac— tion. Augsburg stands to-day for the principles of her founders: “liberty for the individual congregation, and freedom for all individual believers within the church to labor for the kingdom of God.” These men were unafraid, in the face of great odds, for in their hearts they bore the conviction that they were working in accordance with the will of God. With the same assurance we must go forward in strength to perpetuate the true evangelical spirit in our churches and among our people—This was the gist of the president’s speech. Rev. K. B. Birkeland, president of the Board of Trustees, spoke on “The Relation of Augsburg to the Lutheran Free Church.” He showed that Augsburg was the nucleus of the Free Church and is now its dynamic source. This address is printed, and may be procured by writing to the school. Rev. Johan Mattson, president of The Lutheran Free Church, spoke about Augsburg’s participation in the numerous church activities on the home and foreign fields. Rev. J. E. Fossum, president of Oak Grove Lutheran Ladies’ Seminary, brought cordial greetings from our sister school. Rev. Bernt St¢ylen, Bishop of Kristianssand, Norway, who was the official representative of the royalty and the Church of Norway to the celebration, delivered the congratulatory greetings. His speech has been summed up by another writer, in these words: “With 1 Cor. 3:9 and 11 he brought out in striking manner what a privilege has been granted us sinners in that we may be God’s fellow- workers. For these words were addressed to the church at Corinth—a Show less
