Fordi jeg har laert at holde av Augsburg 0g f¢ler mig i mindelig slegtskap med det frikir- kefolk som jeg har hat anledning til at m¢te ut- nver landet. 2. Fordi jog har tro for Den Lutherske Fri- kirkes fremtidige arbeide, hvis den kan holde frem i de gamle spor som en gang er lagt, baade i skolearbeidet og menighetsarbeidet, idet den ma- ter vor programsyke sleg‘t med en hel evangelie— forkyndelse om synd 0g naade, — 0g i sine kirke- huse byr fnlket ikke underholdning, men sjaele- f¢de, -— og staar pea hellig vakt mot den overﬂa- diskhet 0g verdslighet som med tidsaanden vil snike sig ind overalt. 3. 0g endelig fordi jeg har syn for Augs- burgs vzeldige opgave, 0g tror at Den Lutherske Frikirkes fremtid i f¢rste raekke vil avhaenge av denne skoles stilling. Skolevaasenet liar den allerst¢rste betydning for ethvert samfund, ogsaa et statssamfund. Nazst efter hjemmene er der ingen faktor som er saa vigtig naar det gjzelder dannelsen av den frem- tidige stat som skolene. Som skolene er vil hele aamfundet bli. Den aand som der raader, vil snart beherske hele landet. I klassevzerelsene dannes fremtidens borgere. Likedan i et kirkesamfund. Allermest naar det gjaelder ens presteskole, hvor de unge maend dannes som snarl: skal staa som kirkens ledere 0g menighetens sjieles¢rgere og avl¢se den gamle slegt. Vil den gamle slegt ha bevaret noget av den gamle aand, saa staa vakt om skolene. En stor del av sin bedste ungdomstid er de unge mend her under sine lzereres indﬂydelse. Her laegges i sin almindelighet de linjer som man i fremtiden vii arbeide efter. Her lagres det fortaad man se- nere ska] ¢se av; her dannes fremtidens kirke. 0g endnu mer end de kundskaper man her erhverver sig, betyr den aand man blir grepet av. 0g noget av det samme gjelder vore h¢iskoler og colleges. Tsenk bare pan hvad de unge blir bevaret for ved at gas paa en kristelig skole. Tanker man over hvad der i vore dage dooeres ved ﬂere verdslige skoler 0g den and som der mder, vil troende foreldre takke sin Gud for at de har et sted at sende sin ungdom, hvor de vet at de ikke blir utsat for antikristelig paavirkning. Men ikke bare dette negative. Ogaaa positivt bu kristeJige skoler sin allerstﬂmte betydning. Bud vil det ikke si for en ung mud og kvindei otteaaravsinungdomstidatgaapaaenskole som daglig smiles om Guds ord..— en skole hvis maal det er at bringe de unge ind i bevisst 0g av- gjort liv med Gud, — hvis lzerere i undervisnin- gen 0;; paa tomandshaand forsaker at hjzelpe de unge frem til livets kilde. Nei — vi har ikke raad til at miste vore skoler, Da mister vi et av vore bedste arbeidsmidler. Vi maa heller slaa ring om dem 0g baere dem frem i b¢n, interesse, og gaver. Jeg har to ¢nsker for Augsburg, hvor jeg har hat den glzede at were laerer dette aar. 1. At Augsburg maa utdanne dygtige mamd til arbeide i Guds rike blandt vort folk her i Ame— rika. Jeg tzenker nu saerlig paa den teologiske avdeling, som jo altid har vaeret 0g fremdeles bar were den vigtigste del av skolen. Var tid traenger vel utdannede prester, —— mend med alsidig al- mendannelse, saa man ikke ska] risikere at staa paa et lavere nivaa end sit menighetafolk; men f¢rst 0g fremst mzend med dypt kiendskap til sin bibel 0g den lutherske tare, saa man kan m¢te den religi¢se forvirring i tiden, med solid veiled— ning ut fra Guds 0rd. Jeg ¢nsker de unge studen- ter den kundskap som ydmyger — ikke opblzeser, det hellige enfold som alene kan vise vei ind til visdommen i Gud, den som er skjult for verdens vise og forstandige og aabenbaret for de umyn- dige. 2‘ Et andet ¢nske hat jeg for Augsburg, — et ¢nske som jeg szetter over alt andet naar det gjzelder vor skole: At Augsburg maa vaere et rum- delig kraftcentrum i det norske Amerika, — en skole hvis f¢rste 0g sidste maal er dette: sjslene! En skole hvor hver eneste laerer 0g student har bevisstheten om at skolens dypeste og egentlige hensigt er Guds rike, — en skole hvor alt usundt 0g forstyrrende maa vike for det ene forn¢dne, — en skole som staar paa vakt mot tidsaandens gift- gas. Med andre 0rd: at Augsburg altid vil were err Imuelig skole, 0g det mere end I navnet. 0g netop her har vi grund 1) til at takke. Takke for hvad Augsburg har bede i (la 60 at den har bestaat, — 0g takke for at vi endnu har en skole som Augsburg hvor der stadig samles en stor ﬂok unge til faelles ban og til arbeide blandt sine uomvendte kamerater, — 0g takke for at denne ﬂok denne vinter er blit ¢ket, idet ﬁere unge har begyndt at s¢ke Gud. 2) Men her her vi og- saa grund til at sfaa paa hellig vakt mot alt som vil forstyrre 0g ¢delaegge; at vi for fremtiden ma- ha den same and 0g kraft som faedrene her hat.

Show moreThose men whose work we look upon as the foundation and the origin of the Lutheran Free Church—from a human and immediately histori- cal viewpoint—Professors Georg Sverdrup and Sven Oftedal, also were ardent supporters of home mission work. Professor Sverdrup was at one time secretary of the home mission committee, as it was called at that time. Since then, profes- sors at Augsburg have at various times been aﬂ‘i- liated with home mission work in our church, Prof. E. P. Harbo who was for many years presi- dent of the Board of Home Missions, and Prof. Helland who has written books and pamphlets about home missions. It was of utmost importance for a new church body in this country that home mission work should be commenced and carried on with the greatest possible speed. N o doubt this was under- stood by the early leaders. When at the present time it appears as though there must have been a tendency to make haste slowly in this respect, it must not be forgotten that there were other mat- ters that craved attention; and a new, small, and ﬁnancially embarrassed church could not do everything to its liking; it had to deal with the 'means at hand. and could not always do what it wished to do. However, it is difficult to avoid the impression, that had more stress been laid on home missions from the beginning, we would to- day have been in better shape to meet present obligations and responsibilities. Be that as it may, history shows nevertheless. that home missions were by no means neglected, but made quite a little headway in the early years, especially in the rural sections. It is not possible in this brief sketch to give a history of home missions in the Lutheran Free Church. Neither is it required. Attention may be called to just a few more things. Home mission work is needed for the exten- sion of the kingdom of God in this land. In this country where all Christian work is voluntary and must be done by private, that is to say, un- oﬁicial and non-public initiative, it is incumbent upon Christian men and women in the Christian congregations already existing, to see to it that this work is done. America must be christianized by free and voluntary eﬁ'orts, if christianized it shall be. There is no law in the land compelling the spread of Christianity; there is no executive federal or state department entrusted with the task of giving the gospel of Christ to the Amer- ican people. Hence, if America is to become a Christian na- tion, the Christian people must, under God and his Christ and his Spirit do the work. The Govern- ment does not hinder the Christian forces in this JUBlLEE BULliETlN 7 work; on the contrary, it encourages them to take hold and carry on. As far as the Government is concerned there is a wide open door everywhere. For this we are grateful; and we wish to make all possible use of the opportunity. But in this great umlcrtaking——aml this is the next point that should be emphasizedAcntirc re- liance could not he had on lay workers. In fact, the main reliance must be made on trained lead» ers. Immediately the need for schools presents itself. It must be considered a safe assertion that without schools, like Augsburg Seminary, primar- ily, and Oak Grove Seminary, secondarily, home mission work would well-nigh be an impossibility. Home mission must have pastors, the best that can be had. The work is often very difﬁcult. It makes demands upon the lalmrcr’s every particle of spiritual insight as well as intellectual ingen- uity. and even physical endurance. It demands sacriﬁce, patience, love. But it pays. A school of the right sort, such as we have in both our in- stitutions. is in position, granted the necessary means, to educate the right kind of workers. Then again, the schools need home missions. In the ﬁrst place, they need the influx that this kind of extension work provides. Many students have come to our schools from the newly opened home mission ﬁelds. And, conversely, when a young man is through with the prescribed course of studies, and ready to enter the ministry, were it not for the oppor- tunities for work offered him on the home mission ﬁelds, he would perhaps for a long time look in vain for a chance to begin. Or, as is frequently the case, when a home mission ﬁeld requires espe- cially the labors of an experienced pastor, the vacancy thus resulting, presents to the young man the chance for which he is waiting. Here, then, is the interdependence between the schools and the home mission. There are, obviously, other points of contact. And there is of necessity a continued inter-rela- tionship: Home missions must look to the schools for ﬁt workers; the schools need the material aid, the spiritual sympathy and support, the sincere discernment and understanding of all laborers on the home mission ﬁelds. Helping the schools to gain a surer material footing is indirectly to help home missions: To help home missions with material assistance in order that its work may be done as far as material aid goes—and it goes a long way—is also indi- rectly to help the schools. Such a relationship, borne and furthered by prayer, will eventually work together for the good of all our activities. H. C. Carnal“.

Men husk: Han regner med os. Han stoler paa as! La ns ikke sviktel Fredrik Wisloﬂ. AS A STUDENT SEES IT IT has been my privilege to be a student at Augsburg for ﬁve years. For this reason I may perhaps be allowed to give a personal testi- mony with regard to the spiritual atmosphere of the school. In no school year since I came here have we had so many concrete instances of the power of the Spirit of God. Our whole student body seems to have been stirred. The singing in chapel, the spirit of the prayer meetings — in short, the general atmosphere gives one the feel- ing that God is not only near, but is a living reality in the hearts of many. The gospel meet- ings which were held in November have borne fruit. Several students have been converted, and I feel sure that many more will take a deﬁnite stand for Christ. Many things have changed at Augsburg in the course of time. The school is trying in a good sense to keep up with the times and to meet the changing requirements of life, but the Spirit that wrought in the time of the fathers is still active among us, and his fruits are evident. This, in a general way, is the impression I have of the spiritual life that exists among our students today, and I feel sure that all who have in any way been exposed to the “Augsburg spirit” this year will agree with me. What, then, are the outward manifestations of this spiritual interest? There are, ﬁrst, the prayer meetings. We have them three evenings at week. Monday’s and Friday’s prayer meetings are held in each of the dormitories. On Wednesday evenings we have a union prayer meeting, where large numbers take part in prayer, scripture reading, and testi- mony. The ardor and enthusiasm evident at these meetings indicate the power of God's Spirit in the hearts of the students. Considerable practical missionary work is car- ried on by the Christian students. One meeting a week is conducted in each of the two Lutheran homes, Wartburg Hospice and Luther House. About twelve young men have organized a “Per- sonal Workers” group and have charge on var- ious occasions at the Gateway Gospel Mission. At least one new Sunday School has been or- ganized by students, namely at Oak Knoll, a few miles outside the city. This place needs a church. Several families have become interested to the extent of sending their children to our Sunday School. We have a conﬁrmation class of ten mem- bers there now, with good prospects for even a larger class. We are planning to turn this work over to Rev. Adrian Olson, pastor of Homewood church, who has taken charge of the conﬁrms» tion class. In this way the work will receive at- tention also through the summer vacation. There is also a mission study group, which meets regularly to discuss and study conditions on the mission ﬁelds. Their aim is to keep the cause of misions before the student body and the churches with which they come in contact. Finally, many students teach Sunday School classes, sing in church choirs, preach or endeavor in other ways to further the Kingdom. In proportion to the number enrolled, the Augsburg students are this year doing consider- able practical spiritual work, and they are doing it with an energy and enthusiasm seldom sur- passed.

Exodus M :15. Israel had made an excellent start. It was in- deed a great thing that after centuries of bond- age they had obeyed the call to freedom which God thru Moses had sent to them. Well might a sense of deep joy thrill the man who had been the means of kindling in this downtrodden and degraded race the sacred ﬁre of liberty and in- spire them with faith and courage to enter the road to the fair land of promise. The beginning had been auspicious beyond all expectation. But now—just now all their efforts seemed wasted. Rearward Pharaoh's host came thundering on; forward threatening waters blocked the way. On- ward now seemed to lead into the very jaws of death: retreat would mean in many ways a fate worse than death. Small wonder that they “cried out unto Jehovah", Moses not the least. But now it sounded as though Jehovah would not even hearken to their cry. “Wherefore criest thou unto me?—go forward!" Onward lies the way over which Israel is to pass—straight into the sea. There shall be a road even there. The instrument which is to open a way lies in their leader's hand. even though he does not realize it, for it is so humble. “Lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go into the midst of the sea on dry ground.” Enough of crying unto Jehovah! Now is the hour of action. And no sooner did Moses act than there opened a spacious lane through the track-less waters. More than that: The angel of God went behind them and stood as a rear-ward. How often have not God’s people gone through similar experiences. But how hard a lesson to learn. The path of God‘s people lies in only one direction,—onward. Never backward—that leads to bondage and death; ever onward as God directs —-—that is the way of liberty and life. The rod, the means which open the way, we already have; but we must use them. Prayer?—0f course. But prayer must lead to action. Help can come only on condition that we give ourselves and our means to the Lord, so he can use us for his purpose. When God directs, and we are willing to act in harmony with our prayers, then a dry stick is potent enough to open the way onward for a whole nation. The Lutheran Free Church needs to take this lesson to heart. We have made a fair start. Mis- takes we have made, to be sure, and our faith has often been wavering enough, yet we have had not a little proof of God’s love in the time that has passed since our church body was organized in 1897. Considerable progress has been made in many local churches, and the Spirit of God has not deserted us. Some have complained of weakness in our general work and lack of co—operation be- tween our sister congregations. To some extent this criticism is undoubtedly well taken, but an unbiassed examination will show that our progress has been on the whole considerable. If we com- pare, for example, the total contributions to our general work for the years 1897 to 1902 with the ﬁve year period of 1923 to 1928, progress will be palpably evident, even though we make allowance for the shrinkage in money value. In another and more important ﬁeld progress may be demonstrated. Our people have a clearer conception of the aim and mission of the Lutheran Free Church. This is a natural consequence of the obstacles we have had to surmount and the trials we have had to endure. There is a clearer conception also of the need of co—operation be- tween the individual congregations that constitute the Lutheran Free Church. Our experiences dur- ing the last ten years especially have shown that it is no easy task to run the Lutheran Free Church 011' the track if our congregations will stick to- gether. This does not at all imply that our church has fulﬁlled its mission; quite the contrary; its work has just begun. But it is a good beginning which ought to hearten us to redoubled eﬁ'ort. All spiri- tual movements which are vital with truth take time to germinate and grow. They must penetrate deep into the consciousness of people, and this takes time. A mushroom may pop up over night; an oak takes a hundred years to mature. In the work to make our mission understood by our people so as to gain their support, our schools naturally take a very prominent part, for it is the oncoming generation that must be won and trained to carry the Free Church idea forward. It is therefore vitally necessary for the Free Church to support its schools so they may become strong and efﬁcient in winning our young people for its cause. A free church must whole-heartedly rally around its schools, for they are the vital organs through which its spiritual power must ﬂow to be carried onward. Church history proves by many examples that a free church that neglected its schools has soon disintegrated. This conviction caused the founding of Augsburg, and it is this conviction which has made it possible for this school to operate until today in spite of the rather peculiar difﬁculties it has had to face. To re-en- force this statement let me quote what President Sverdrup, Sr. said in 1877: “Let the Conference endeavor to preserve the school, and the school will preserve the Conference." During late years our schools have not re- ceived as substantial support as their importance merited, hence they have fallen seriously into debt. Augsburg owes $58,850 and Oak Grove about $30,000, a total of $88,850. Thus the ques- tion faces the Lutheran Free Church, “Shall we go forward, or shall we retreat?” Some say re- trench and save money. Retrench? That is to retreat—that is the way of death. It is unthink— able. The Lutheran Free Church must go for- ward. It must live: therefore we must place our schools on a sound ﬁnancial basis. Stupid is the general who orders his army to advance before he has fortiﬁed his base and secured his rear. I believe the Lutheran Free Church is de- termined to go forward. The last Annual Con- ference was undoubtedly of this opinion, therefore it resolved to start a jubilee campaign to raise $200,000 to remove the indebtedness on our

OCTOBER 1. 192‘.) WHY THIS IS CALLED Four hundred years ago the Lutheran Reformation was going through its greatest crisis. The enemies of reform had at last united for a ﬁnal crushing blow, Pope and Emperor had made peace with each other for the purpose of making a concerted drive against the Luth- erans. If persuasion failed. the heresy was to be stamped out in ﬁre and blood. The Diet of Speier in 1529 was the ﬁrst ominous rumble of the coming storm. The Diet of Augsburg in 1530 was designed to loose the ﬂood that was to sweep the Reformation out of existence. The reformers were ill prepared. Luther. banned by church and state alike since 1521. could not safely appear in public as their spokesman. The Marburg conference. an attempt to unite all evangelicals. had failed. The FACTS ABOUT l. Augsburg Seminary 1. When and why was Augsburg founded! Augsburg Seminary was founded by Lutheran pioneers in 1869. at Marshall, Wisconsin. but was moved to Min- neapolis. Minnesota. in 1872. Its purpose was to train Lutheran ministers to preach the gospel to Norwegian immigrants who in large numbers were settling in the A JUBILEE CAMPAIGN Lutheran princes were distracted by petty political squab- bIes. At the Diet of Augsburg the Lutherans presented a written statement of their faith. the Augsburg Confes- sion. This famous document rallied the followers of Luther. Now they had a symbol of their common evan- gelical faith, inspiring them to stand united at all costs in loyalty to God and his word. The Reformation was saved. Therefore Lutherans all over the world, mindful of God's past mercies. will in 1930 celebrate in grateful re- membrance of those heroic Christians who braved the gates of hell to plant aloft the torch of gospel truth. “Jehovah hath done great things for them.

Yes, a jubilee fund; for next year we shall celebrate the four hundredth anniversary of the Augsburg Confession. It will be a great event for Lutherans all over the world. Then the Lutheran Free Church ought above all others to celebrate, for according to Dr. Rudolph Sohm, the greatest authority on church polity, who made the statement in a private letter writ- ten shortly before his death, the form of organiza- tion adopted by the Lutheran Free Church comes closer than any other to the ideal conceived by the Lutheran reformers. But we can not celebrate while a big debt crushes and cripples our schools. Shall the Free Church fail now, after over thirty years of fairly successful work, fail now when more than ever there is an open door awaiting us? Suppose the reformers in 1530 had said, “No, we must re- trench, we must retreat, this will not work. Here is the Emperor and his henchmen plotting our ruin; there is the Roman hierarchy headed by the pope determined on our destruction; it means burning at the stake to advance.” No, they used quite a different dialect: "A mighty fortress is our God, A trusty shield and weapon; Our help is He in all our need, Our stay, whate’er may happen;"— (See Hymanry, 270. Read the whole hymn.) So sang the ancient heroes, stepped bravely forward, and ran aloft the gospel standard ready to give their all for Christian freedom, “—kindred, goods, and life,” to win the Kingdom for them- selves and for future generations. And 10, again did God cleave a way so the gospel of sin and grace could once more ﬂow down on the parched land and call forth a free church, re-born of the Holy Spirit. But what if they had beat retreat! Here is a challenge to you dear young people of the Lutheran Free Church. Again the cry is “forward!” This is your opportunity. The schools need you and you need the schools. What- ever you may have done in the past, now is your chance to do something really worth while. Help us lift this debt. Do not leave it to “Dad.” He will do his share; he is used to it. But will you do yours? The schools can’t do much for “Dad”, you know, but they can do a lot for you. They will be glad to do it, if you will give them sub— stantial support. Some of your friends are our students. They are going to scrape their pockets to help their schools out. But you know how it is with students; their spirit is willing, but the purse is——- — —! Now many of you are making fair wages. I have known some of you young men to spend ten dollars on a single evening’s en- tertainment. Possibly you had a ﬁne time; pos- sibly the next day you even had a—headache. Now I am inviting you to spend at least ten dollars to help these schools. It is a worthy cause, and you know it. If you are a serious-minded man or woman—and I believe most of you are at bottom —you will readily understand that Christian schools stand for all that is ﬁnest and most whole- some in life. You are also aware that not all money spent by young people goes to help the cause of Christ. Would it not he a good thing for your own soul to give generously to a cause that is particularly designed to help youngr people physically, intollrctually, morally, and spiritually? If you should give ten dollars non, I believe you will have such satisfaction from it that next time you have a chance you will give ﬁfty dollars. And then you will feel better still, for you will then have a real stake in the greatest enterprise in tho world—be a part owner, so to speak. And the in— vestment will pay constantly increasing dividends as long as you live. A good act always does, and its after effects do not keep you awake nights. The campaign committee has told me to act as manager of this in-gathering of funds. I have consented to assume this responsibility. The Good Book says, "It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth." I have become convinced that this is absolutely and unreservedly true. It is re- sponsibility that makes us. At the schools we are, most of us, hopelessly young. Hence I feel that I must have you young people with me, so I am ap- pealing to every young man and young woman and every Sunday school scholar in the Lutheran Free Church to take hold and “put this across"; then we can hold a real jubilee next year. In order to get you started we are going to give you an extra inducement. Every young peo- ple's society which contributes one hundred dol- lars or over to this jubilee fund will be placed on the L. F. C. Honor Roll. Every Sunday school which contributes twenty-ﬁve dollars or more will likewise be put upon the Lutheran Free Church Honor Roll. These honor rolls will be preserved in the archives of Augsburg and Oak Grove as worthy examples for future generations. Let us now get busy all along the line. First let us cry to God so he may stir our hearts, next let us follow our prayers with resolute action and give heroically, then we shall see our efforts crowned with success. “Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward." Someone to Lead the Way In every worth-while undertaking, if it is to succeed, some one must take the lead. That is true in our effort for Augsburg and Oak Grove. Someone must take the lead in pledges that are generous and inspiring and that will urge all the rest to do their best. Some one must take the lead in every congregation, show the way to the mem- bership by pledges that will stir and inspire the membership to be eager to do their utmost. When a task, no matter how essential, is ﬁrst discussed within the Church, what is the imme diate reaction? Evereyone says: “Surely it should be done, but there are also so many other things to do and we ought to think it over, and we want to wait and see what others are doing." While that spirit prevails, nothing is done. Action is put off from day to day until ﬁnally even the ﬁnest obligation fails to meet response. But if someone with a larger faith takes the lead, sweeps aside the hesitancy to act, makes a pledge that is encouraging, then immediately all the others awaken and are willing to move for- ward and follow the lead.

Graduates are admitted without examination to all colleges that ad- mit on the certiﬁcate plan. 4. What has Augsburg contributed to our spiritual, in- tellectual. and social life in the past? This question is a little hard to answer. for it is so broad; but we may note the following: a. It was the ﬁrst theological seminary built by Nor- wegian Lutherans in America. Since 1870 it has sent out 480 theological graduates of whom about 95'; have worked as pastors and missionaries at home and abroad. Almost 100% of the pastors in the Lutheran Free Church are graduates of Augsburg. b. The ﬁrst missionaries sent to heathen lands by Nor- wegian Lutherans in America were graduates of Augs- burg. At present Augsburg graduates are doing active missionary work in Madagascar, India, Central Africa. space far too small for present needs. There are two (lurr mitories for men, one built in 1872-1875, the other in 1884. The two dormitories for women were built in lN'JFi and 1889 respectively. The main building. erected in 1901, houses the administration. the class rooms. chapel. library, and laboratories. Besides these there is ll private residence, part of which is used as an emergency hospital for male students who are ill but nut seriously enough to need regular hospitalizatinn. o.

Augsburg was the ﬁrst Lutheran school—and for some .time the only one—to take an active and leading part In the temperance movement that ﬁnally brought about national prohibition. d. In the past approximately 50% of the graduates of Augsburg College have studied theology and have en- tered the ministry. Some have become physicians. den- tists, lawyers, etc., and hold honored and inﬂuential posi- tions. of late years in steadily increasing number, Augs- burg graduates have entered the ﬁeld of high school teach- ing and are thus helping to educate our future citizens. Some have pursued graduate work in American and Eu- ropean universities and are engaged in college and univer- sity teaching. One is a leading church historian, another 13.!!! authority on Norwegian immigration to America, a third is a professor in the University of Berlin, one is an archeologist of international reputation, a fourth is a noted astronomer in one of the largest universities of the Middle West, while others are teaching in various col- leges. They are an honor to Augsburg, to the Free Church, and to our country. 5. What equipment has Augsburg? The campus comprises only one small city block—a In the college 21.3% were children of pastors and pro~ fessors. In the academy 39% were children of pastors and professors. The great majority of all students come from Lutheran homes. '7. What source of income hm: Augsburg? A small endowment fund of $79,000.00, voluntary con- tributions, and tuition paid by students as follows, begin- ning next year: Theology, no tuition. College, $75.00 paid in three terms. Academy, $45.00 paid in three terms. 8. What is Augsburg’s most pressing need? a. More of spiritual life and more complete consecra- tion. b. Adequate ﬁnancial support. Augsburg is a grow- ing school and needs increased allowance in order to meet the rising demands of our church and its young people. If we cannot or will not support the institution so it can educate our young people eﬁiciently, they will seek their education elsewhere and thus drift away from the Luth- eran Free Church. We can not starve our central institu- tion without seriously crippling our general work as a church body. A broken hub makes the whole wheel use- less. If we persist in driving in spite of this, we shall soon land in the ditch. All that Augsburg asks at present is enough ﬁnancial support to be able to function at all.

The school owns three buildings The main building. a modern ﬁre-proof structure, was occupied in 1923. The ﬁrst building, originally a residence, was bought in 1906 together with a strip of land along the Red River. This building is now old and not adapted for school use. East Hall was built in 1908 and now serves as a boys‘ dor- mitory. This building is yet in good condition. OAK GROVE SEMINARY. FARGO. N. DAK. a. What is the character a/ the school! It is a Christian secondary school for boys and girls, young men and women. Since the moving of the Bible School from Willmar to Fargo in 1927, it is also s Luth» eran Bible School. 4. Is it necessary to have a church Academy besides the state High Schools? There has always been a demand for High School edu- cation on a Christian basis. This demand is increasing at present. Because of the principle of absolute separa- tion of church and state the state institutions can not and should not undertake to teach religion. But Lutheran church people believe that Christianity is so important a factor in the life of our youth that it should not be neg- lccbed in High School education. 5. Is not thin particular ﬁeld covered lie/arc? Oak Grove Seminary in the only standardized Lutheran High School in North Dakota. 8. What awn" are olmd?

Show moreway and, under the auspices of the Norwegian Total Abstinence Society, held oter titty meetings in different parts of the country. 'l‘heir \‘isit to Norway was the ﬁrst of its kind and created con- siderable interest. On its travels in the interest of temperance and prohibition the quartet became instrumental in creating enthusiasm for music and singing among the young people in the congregations as well as in the temperance societies, and choirs were started in many places where chorus sing- ing had been unknown before. This led further to the organization of the Norwegian Lutheran Choral Union in 1892. In a short time over 70 choirs joined this association and some very suc— cessful “sangerfests” were held. These meetings were very inspirational and did a great deal to encourage choral singing in the Lutheran churches in the West. BULLETIN Tin-1 AUGsm’RG GLEE CLUB A male octet was organized by Professor H. N, llendricksnn in 1900. Three years later this was enlarged and became known as the Augsburg (ilee Club, which immediately became the leading musical organization at school, a position which it has since retained. To “make” the Glee Club was considered an honor, hence it has always com- manded the best vocal talent in school and has generally done creditable work. Since 1915 it has made annual tours throughout the Northwest, al~ In 1929 its tour ex- tended to the Paciﬁc Coast, where it aroused much enthusiasm and rewind ﬁne support.

THE Acosnunc Gun: CLUB, 1930 Our Brethren In Canada and Our Schools HE Jubilee Campaign for our schools needs the hearty support of our Free Church peo— ple in Canada in order to succeed. Christian work must recognize no artiﬁcial borders, and Chris- tian need should be universal in its appeal. Christ’s love and vision encompassed the world. The church that he founded was not intended to be merely local but universal. This broadness of view the early Christians had caught, and so we ﬁnd Jerusalem sending the gospel to Macedonia, and Macedonia in turn ministering to the needs of the saints at Jerusalem. This was one of the fairest fruits that grew out of spiritual unity—— the only unity that really counts in Christian work. The Lutheran Free Church has not been un- mindful of our people who settled in Canada. Our churches in the "States" sent liberally both money and men to minister to the spiritual needs of the many who sought “The world of prairie, the world of plain, The world of promise, and hope, and gain.” During a period of 36 years 40 ministers. trained in Augsburg Seminary at an approximate cost of $80,000, have gone forth with the homo stead seekers into the dense forests and broad prairies of Western Canada, in order that the settlers might not be without the guidance of the gospel of Christ. The records also show that they have played an important part in colonizing the Western Provinces. In 1894 the Reverend C. T. Saugstad led a band of home seekers to British Columbia and

Show more; JUBILEE BULLE’i‘lt‘li 7W MUSIC AT AUGSBURG I. NE of the crowning glories of the Lutheran Reformation was its revival of congrega- tional singing. But in order to bring this about. it was necessary to create a new hymnology, which both in text and music was suited to the revived church. So well was this difﬁcult task performed, that the Lutheran church above most others be- came a singing church. School and home as well as house of worship rang with sacred song. As a Lutheran institution Augsburg has been true also in this respect to the best traditions of our church;——it has fostered interest in song. How Augsburg has contributed to this phase of spiritual and cultural life in the past will be very brieﬂy sketched in the following. Prior to 1873 little information about musical been rendered from time to time, besides a mul- titude of smaller pieees of which Scandinavian and German music literature has so rich :1 store. The following have served as directors: Oliver Larson, 1’. A. Paulsou, J. 'l‘. Bugge, T. 0. Fos« sum. Then. S. lteimestud, l". Melius Christiansen, H. Al I'rseth, H. N. llendrickson, Theodore C.

THE Aucsuuno QUARTET So far as known, the Augsburg Quartet seems to have been the ﬁrst school quartet in the West to carry the message of choral song to people living beyond the confines of the school and its imme- AUGSBURG GosraL QUARTET, 1930 activities at Augsburg is available. In that year Rev. Ole Paulson is mentioned as having instruct- ed the students in singing. THE AUGSBURG CHORUS In 1877 Oliver Larson, organist in the Swedish Augustana Church in Minneapolis, was engaged as instructor in music. He was a trained musi— cian from Sweden, where he had been a leader of student choruses. His high musical standing may be inferred from the fact that he was invited to act as accompanist for Christina Nilsson at her historic concert in the old Coliseum. Larson or- ganized and developed a very good male chorus of Augsburg students and established a high standard of choral singing, which remained a po- tent inﬂuence in the musical life of the school. Since that day choral singing has been the chief form of musical activity at Augsburg. Most of the outstanding choral works for male voices have diate vicinity. Vocally this quartet was unusually strong, and it made a lasting impression on the thousands who heard them. It was the temperance movement in the eight- ies which inspired the organization of the Augs. burg quartet in 1888. It was made up of Profes- sor Theo. S. Reimestad, ﬁrst tenor and leader, J. L. Nydahl. second tenor, Frants Norman, ﬁrst bass, and Martin Havdal, second bass. All were ardent advocates of temperance and prohibition. The singing drew large audiences, and between the songs temperance talks were given by the members of the quartet or by other speakers. It was a veritable crusade in oratory and song to wrest the holy places, the church and the home. from the grasp of the inﬁdel saloon. During the summer vacations of 1888, 1890, 1892, and 1894, the quartet toured Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa. South Dakota, and North Dakota. In 1895 it made a tour to Nor-

Others seem not to have grasped the im- portance of this campaign at all. Too many seem to follow the principle that if there is anything left after the other wants are satisﬁed. they will give a little. The Lord has to be satisﬁed with the leavings. Is that Christian? Is that going to bring God’s blessing upon us? The ancient Jews knew better than to bring the lame and the halt to the atlar. They must bring the ﬁrst fruit and the 'best. To do anything less was to invite a curse in- stead of a blessing. When will Christians learn this lesson? We have met with some disappointments, but we refuse to be discouraged, for we have had some experiences that have strengthened our faith. The response of our Ladies’ Aids, Young People’s Societies, and Sunday Schools has been good.

But if our schools are training men and women to be messengers of light and peace to those who were languishing in darkness, “with- out hope and without God in the world," then Christians certainly ought to support them and eetly hindering God‘s cause; then we are not with Him but against Him. God has shown that He could use the Lutheran Free Church and our schools in the past.
