M. Hagen. HVAD DEN GAMLE PREST FORTALTE MIG JULEAFTEN Det var Dagen til Juleaften. Hele Dagen havde jeg vzeret beskxf- tiget med Forberedelse til Julen. Nu var det lige fdr Skumringen. Jeg var glad 0g taknemlig i mit Sind 0g nynnede uvilkaarligt paa et Jule- vers, idet jeg saa ud 0g bemaerkede, at den kolde Vind stadig blev hef- tigere. Den sled 0g ruskede i Traeerne. M¢rke tunge Skyer rullede hurtigt mod Vest. Den nyfaldne Sne, som nylig havde klzedt Jorden i hvidt overalt, f¢ges nu sammen i store Driver. Alt som ikke var i Stand til at holde Sneen, blev bart, 0g snart frembyid Jorden et under— ligt Skue, idet den sorte Jord haesligt kom frem 0g satte myfirke Pletter paa det hvide b1¢de Snetzeppe. I den lille Landsbykirkegaard dzekkede Sneen dog alt. Den laa nemlig saa dejlig i 1.x ved Landsbyen, at Vinden ingen Magt havde i den. Som jeg sad 0g betragtede Sneen, faldt mit Qje paa en gammel Mand, som langsomt kom gaaende hen mod Kirkegaarden. Det var en gammel Praest. som forlzengst havde sluttet sin Przestegerning. 0g som nu boede i et lille Hus ikke langt fra Kirkegaarden. Naesten hver Dag var han paa Kirkegaarden. Men ingen vidste rigtig hvorfor. Man vid- ste, at han altid standsede ved to Grave, men hvorfor vidste man ikke. Der var noget mystisk ved den gamle Mand 0g hans hele Faerd. Medens jeg sad 0g tzenkte paa (1e forskellige Gzetninger, som jeg havde h¢rt fremsat om Manden, fik jeg en brzendende Lyst til at tale med ham. Jeg vadede gennem Sneen ind paa Kirkegaarden. Da jeg kom hen til ham opdagede jeg, at han havde lagt en frisk Blomst paa hver af de to Grave. De var nemlig ikke langt fra hinanden. “Glaedelig Jul,” hilste jeg. Han saa langsomt op, men som om Tankerne var langt borte. 0g sagde stille: “Glaedelig Jul — Glaedelig Jul!” Men saa sukkede han 0g sagde: “Aah nej, ingen rigtig Glzede for mig!” Dette Suk 0g Synet af den magre Skikkelse med det hvide Haar 1 0g de dybtliggende ane, som fortalte om sjzelelig Lidelse og Kummer.

Four singers, known as the Augsburg quartette, sang at Olivet church on Tuesday evening, December 9. As the name indicates, this , is an organization here at school. A tour has been decided upon by the Glee Club, and steps are '3" being taken to plan a route to be taken. ‘ A quartette and an octette have been organized, but have not re— ceived any name as yet. The quartette made its debut in St. Luke’s church December 12, while the octette made its first public appearance December 12, at the Students’ Society meeting held in the school chapel. On December 7, the Glee Club sang several songs at the Community Sing held in St. John’s church. 93>: ATHLETICS :4}:- With the coming of cold weather and the nearing of the basketball season, the squads have begun to put more vim and punch into the game. Much hard work is in store for the team yet before they will be in trim to do what will be expected of them. We have some fine material, and some players are expected to show up well. Some practice games are all the games definitely settled upon as yet; the regular games not beng finally settled as to dates and time. A team composed of alumni who attended the “jubilee” of our school played against the first squad on November 11. The resultant score was 35—10 in favor of the first squad. Being an early season game it was not what could be called a fast “up to tee” game. The visitors were out of practice as they had not played for some time. The first squad boys played well considering the practice they had had. On the whole it was an interesting game. The fighting spirit was more prominent in the visitors than in the home boys. We too want this spirit to a greater degree than heretofore. Let the next game get all there is in you. Spurts of pep and fight are good, but what we want is the “grim determination 'fight-till-the—end” spirit. You have it. Show it. Jerstad and Harbo of the first squad, and Larson and Johnson played well. Show less

Ofte saa jeg hende ikke for Maaneder; men al— tid bar hendes Breve Vidnesbyrd om den reneste Kaerlighed. Jeg kunde ikke andet end takke Gud fer den Kvinde, han havde givet mig. Med ‘ glad Forventning saa jeg frem mod den Dag, da vi, naar jeg havde endt min Uddannelse, sammen kunde tage vor Livsgerning op. Imidlertid var det n¢dvendig for mig at flytte til en anden Skole for min Uddannelses Skyld. Jeg kom i Ber¢ring med andre Forholde og andre Mennesker. Jeg stiftede nye Bekendtskaber. Og da jeg var livlig 0g selskabelig anlagt, vilde jeg nddig staa tilbage for mine Kam- merater, hvilket medf¢rte, at jeg nu 0g da maatte skaenke forskellige Kvinder mere end almindelig Opmaerksomhed. Men ved dette, om jeg end aldrig taenkte paa Utroskab, satte jeg en Plet i mit hidtil blanke l Skjold. Jeg begyndte at blive mindre ndje‘reg‘nende, 0g sserlig var der en Kvinde, hvis Selskab tiltalte mig meget. Nu kunde jeg ogsaa saa let finde Fejl ved hende, som jeg havde lovet Troskab. Dog hendes Kaer- lighed forandredes ikke, 0g nu 0g dn naar jeg fik Brev fra hende, taenkte jeg, at jeg maatte passe paa mig selv. Min Samvittighed mindede mig om mine 0g hendes Bdnner om Guds Ledelse 0g mit Troskabslgfite. Men jeg lyttede ikke til Samvittighedens Rdst, jeg fandt mange I Grunde, hvorfor Agnete skulde blive min. Hun var smukkere 0g mere selskabelig. Hun kunde blive til mere Hjaelp i mit Arbejde. Hun elske— de mig saa inderligt. Maaske Elisabeth slet ikke holdt saa meget af mig. Men til Gud bad jeg kun lidt i denne Sag. Hvorledes kunde j eg det? Jeg fuldfgzirte imidlertid min Skolegang 0g blev Praest. Kort Tid derefter blev Agnete 0g jeg gift. Men blev vi lykkelige? Aah nej, hvorledes kunde vi blive dette, - jeg som havde vaeret utro mod mig selv, min Ungdoms Kaerlighed 0g Guds Ledelse som Svar paa Elisabeths 0g mine B¢nner. Agnete elskede mig af Hjertet. Men hendes fine Natur opdagede snart, at hendes Kaerlighed ikke blev saa hjertelig gengaeldt. Ikke at mit Hjerte hang ved Elisabeth. Nej, jeg elskede ingen, kunde ikke elske.” Show less

U M N I : QE- THE GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY “Fifty years is a long time in the life of a man; it is but a day in the life of a school.” This was the sentiment expressed by one of the speakers at the Semicentennial Celebration of Augsburg Seminary. And . indeed, he spoke rightly. Fifty years is more than the normal span of man’s life. But in the life of a school, in the term of productive ex- istence of an institution of lasting influence, it is but a short time, a mere beginning. Augsburg is fifty years old ; for half a century she has car- ried on a steadfast work; she has actualized a noble ideal; she has achieved a worthy success. But she is still in her formative period. The fifty years which have passed are as a day, compared with the generations of the future, during which Augsburg will continue to stimulate young men to useful and noble living. The spirit which breathed thru the entire celebration was this: Augsburg shall live a greater life than she has lived heretofore. The visions of the far-seeing men who founded the school seemed to become visible also to us, and we saw in them the broad yet well-defined plans, towards whose actualiza- tion we are in duty bound to bend our efforts. In our hearts there was instilled a more profound respect for the achievements of our school in the past, a more sincere esteem for its present duty, and a more active zeal for its future development. The opening day, Friday the twenty-eighth, was designated Alumni and Students Day. \Vould that Augsburg could have more home—com— ing days such as that one! Many former students and alumni were present to take part in the activities. I have not the space in which to give a complete review of the pro- gram, but I shall mention the more salient features. The meeting was opened with Scripture reading and prayer by Rev. M. A. Pederson. The president of the Alumni Association, Rev. A. Oftedal, welcomed the members. He made an appeal for a more active, more useful, and more loyal association. Rev. Andrew Olson gave the response to the welcome. With sincere enthusiasm he asserted that the light which Augsburg has lit will never be allowed to go out. The subject for discussion at the forenoon session was: \Vould it be advisable to move Augsburg to a new location, where it would be possible to have an up-to—date campus and up-to—date buildings? The problem evoked a great deal of lucid argument. I shall mention a few Show less

In fact the French even use their milch cows for draft animals. The horses are generally quite large, but not as common as one might expect. They are not as good climbers as the donkeys and mules, and besides, it takes more to keep a horse. Most horse—drawn wagons are two-wheeled and very solidly built. When, the load is too heavy for, one horse, they hitch another ahead. I have seen as many as four horses, driven in tandem style, pulling a single wagon. I do not know why'they use two—wheeled carts in place of four-wheeled wagons, but it may be because they are more easily turned in these narrow, crooked streets. As for the tandem style of hitching the horses, I expect it is easier to add another horse when the load gets too heavy. There are quite a few automobiles in the city, but, as very few were made during the war, most of them are old and noisy. The king of the highway is a Buick six. I have seen a number of Dodge cars, a few Fords, a Pierce Arrow, and a Cadillac eight. This latter car was standing at the curb and was the center of interest for a crowd of twenty or twenty—five men. I was proud of that American product. I have not yet mentioned the street- cars. They are miserable contraptions. There are four different com- panies that run cars in and about the city. The newer part of the city is less crooked, less narrow, more beau- tiful, but less picturesque. One street especially is very beautiful. It is Cour St. Andre, which has long rows of plantain trees in two strips that divide the streets into three driveways. In the newer part of the city there are many apartments. There are no detached houses except- ing those outside of the city walls. Nobody knows how it feels to be in a strange land before he tries it for himself. When We got aboard the steamer in New York, I had not thought much about the change that we should experience. I had heard a good deal of French at the Consulate, at the Steamship office, and on the dock. But it was not before we were in our cabin that I realized that I was no longer in America. As soon as the cabin steward had helped us into our cabin I looked around our six by eight apart- ment. There were two cots, a clothes locker, and a wash stand. On one of the water faucets I saw the word “Chaude” and on the other “Froide”.- It was as if someone had struck me on the head; I realized that I was now among the French. The 'French people are as a rule kind and hospitable, especially the French Protestants. One of the members of the Protestant church has been very kind to us. He has invited us to come to his home every Show less

Oftedal hit upon a significant point when he asked the question: “Shall we let sentiment stand in the way of a greater Augsburg?” Without doubt sentiment and regard for the wishes of our fathers are two of the strongest bonds which fetter Augsburg to her present location, and hamper her from realizing a wholesome . development. Dr. Roan pointed out the advantages of the present loca- tion for a theological seminary, and also showed its disadvantages for an academy. There was no valid reason for misunderstanding the state- ments of the doctor, as some seemingly found it pleasant to do. He spoke of a larger educational plan for the future, a plan which would include all the young people of the Free Church who wish to obtain a higher education. Rev. 0. H. Sletten made evident the pressing need of a college for ladies. He recommended a coeducational college. Prof. R. B. Nell showed the indispensiblity of greater and more up—to-date facilities for the education of our young people. The discussion was discontinued until the afternoon session. The following were the officers elected to serve during the coming year: president, Rev. P. W. Eriksen; vice—president, Rev. Carl Amund— ' sen; secretary, Rev. John Houkom; treasurer, J. E. Blegen; program committee, Rev. 0. H. Sletten. Rev. M. B. Michaelsen, and Prof. Wm. Mills. Bishop Bernt Stpylen, Prof. P. A. Sveeggen, Prof. R. Boyd Nell, and Prof. Elmer D. Busby were accepted 'as honorary members of the association. At the afternoon session the discussion was continued. Prof. E. P. Harbo made the following relevant statement: “Det er paa hdi tid at vi gir vor ungdom den utdannelse den traenger. Problemet er at gi a1 vor ungdom a1 den skolegang den vil ha. Vi trmnger ny grund, men der- til traenger vi ogsaa en ny plan. Vi maa ha faellesskole. Vi maa ha akademier i utkantene.” Rev. K. B. Birkeland recommended a more comprehensive plan for the educational system of the Lutheran Free, Church. Prof. George Sverdrup said: “The people of our churches need an awakening to the realization of the value of an education. A man may be just as good without an education, but he is not as useful.” Rev 0. H. Sletten spoke in favor of a Bible school in conjunction with the Seminary. Rev Helseth mentioned the unwholesome influence which is often found in the non-Christian education institutions, and pointed out the ever—increasing spirit of indifference which has gripped the young people of the present day. Rev. Villesvik, Rev. P. Winther, and Rev. Jorgensen also voiced their opinions. Show less

This sentence is grammatically incorrect. It could be improved as follows: He spent the whole afternoon in search for work, but his efforts were as fruitless as in the morning. There are a few other mistakes such as the misspelling of the words, “explaining”, “their” and “safely”. Another paper which we gladlyaccept as an “Exchange” is the “Crescent”. We shall state that there is room for'improvement in your paper. First of all we notice that there are often places where half a page or more is vacant. It would not be so noticeable were it at the end of the departments, but this happens especially on the first page of one of the departments of the paper. Otherwise the paper is a large and well-planned publication, altho the literary department could contain , more material. The article “Mount Rainier” is very good as a description. It pic- tures the scene so clearly that one feels as tho he were really before the' mount when he reads the description. ' Other articles, such as “Bismarck” and “The City of Cities”, are very instructive. The former topic treats of the works of Bismarck in the nineteenth century and the fruits of his labors. The latter article dwells upon the thought of Geneva in Switzerland as the capitol of the League of Nations.

Put all the pep and stuff there is in you to cheer the team along; they furnish the fight; you do your bit by furnishing the noise. Don’t kick; for that wont get you anywhere. Get behind and push.

H¢rer du- ikke netop Jule- klokkerne ringe 3’” ‘ I Da trykkede han heftigt min Haand 0g hans alvorlige ¢jne saa saa trist paa mig, at jeg blev ganske bange. Dog sagde jeg: “Kom med mig 0g hold Jul hos mig i Aften.” Jeg ventede slet ikke, at han vilde opfylde mit anske, men virkelig, han fulgte med mig hjem. 0g da vi havde sat os til Rette i Stolene begyndte han uden Opfordring at tale: “Jeg er nu gammel,” sagde han 0g sukkede, “0g snart kan [jeg ikke mere gaa til Kirkegaarden, men bliver baaret derind for at blive der. Du er ung 0g har maaske et langt Liv foran dig. Lad mig derfor for- taelle dig, hvorfor jeg saa ofte gaar til, Kirkegaarden, og hvorfor jeg lever saa ensomt. ' Sorn ganske ung blev jeg omvendt til Gud. Jeg var glad. 'Livet laa for mig bestraalet af Naadens Sollys. Jeg havde Evner 0g Kraefter. At hengive mig helt til min Mester 0g ofre mig paa hans Alter var mit Hjertes Lyst. Med den Tanke begyndte jeg at gaa paa Skole. Jeg vilde uddannes til en Gerning for Herren. Da jeg var tyve Aar gammel, havde Herren en ny Velsignelse for mig. Jeg m¢dte en smuk ung 0g dygtig Kvinde, Elisabeth. Jeg fik hende kaer. Og at hun ikke var ligegyldig mod mig, var ' jeg ogsaa vis paa. Nu fulgte en alvorlig Tid. Dag 0g Nat maatte jeg bringe min Kaer— lighed 0g Elisabeth frem for Gud. For hans Vilje satte jeg over baade mig selv 0g hende. Jeg var klar over, at et eneste Fejlgreb her kunde faa skaebnesvangre F¢lger for os begge. Alt lagde jeg i Herrens Haand, 0g den som g¢r det bliver ikke be- skaemmet. Han vil svare. Og efter nogen Tid kunde jeg rolig erklaere hende. min erlighed stolende paa, at Gud vilde lede Sagen. Jo, hun elskede mig. Selv havde hun i lang Tid mig ubevidst lagt Sagen frem for Gud. Hvor gerne havde vi ikke straks lovet hinanden Haand 0g Hjerte ; men vi enedes om at vente endnu en Stund paa Her- ren.” Den gamle tav en Stund 0g en Taare trillede ned over hans magre Kind.
