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. Field goals: A. Harbo 2, Halvorson 1; Ulrich 4, Bloede 3, Cron- r‘ath 3, Kammerath 3. Goals on fouls: Blode 2. Substitutes: R. Harbo for 'Jerstad, Korsmo for Melby. In a fast and cleanly played game the Augsburg second team beat the Luther seconds. Score 14—9. Show less

Man f¢ler at bak- om ordene staar en personlighet hvis liv med alle dets store muligheter er viet i Guds tjeneste. Canada var reprwsentert ved en fuldtallig delegation og flere talere. 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. Carl Fies, “chairman of the World Student Christian Federation.” Han talte ogsaa ved en av sessionerne. England, Skotland, Frankrike, Sweitz og Holland hadde sendt sine repraesentanter. Disse talte alle paa engelsk, undtagen den franske utsending Pierre Maury som holdt sin tale paa fransk. F¢rend han begyndte sin tale, blev der utdelt til forsamlingen kopier av den i engelsk oversaettelse som gjorde det mulig for tilh¢rerne at f¢lge med nogenlunde. Vore sorte 0g gule brodre var repraesentert paa en mgdnstervzerdig maate. George Haines Ph. D., en neger. var en av de kraftigste talere ved konferansen. 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. Det er hans ¢nske, om Gud vil, at faa anledning til at vidne om Kristus for all_e de 60 millioner av Japans indbyggere. Han var et levende bevis paa evangeliets gjenskapende magt. Mr. T. T.

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.

Awakened Japan begged for help thru those posters. India’s 310,000,000 unsaved toilers and sufferers cried out for the light in Christ. The Moslem world was stretching out its arms for the lifting power, as its standards of purity and right sank in the slimy quicksand of false worship. Africa with one hand pictured its possibilities if guided aright, while with the other it held up its heart— rending conditon of nine out of every ten children dying in childhood, womanhood dishonored and debased, and hope gone from the hearts of men. South America showed how its life was degenerating apart from the gospel of peace. And Mexico, the much—persecuted and falsely-guided Mexico, begged with faltering cries that we heed the Master’s command and preach the gospel to them instead of trying to “shoot the gospel into every creature.” The next place of importance which we visited was the Coliseum. The Coliseum is a large building covering the length of one block with a seating capacity of 8,000. The first thing that caught our attention when we entered was the splendid array of flags. Every nation’s emblem was there. Four large streamers of bunting bearing the colors of America and her allies were strung across the interior of the building. At the far end was a large map showing the number of Student Volun— teers who had sailed to the mission fields up to January first, 1919. Above this map was a large bunting with these marvelous words: “The Evangelization Of The World In This Generation.” Under this ensign hung a huge sounding board having six wings. This was so well ar- ranged that the speakers could be heard, without any difficulty, in any part of the building. The Minnesota delegations were given a place in the second balcony, to the left. From this disadvantageous point we could see the entire gathering with the exception of a few delegations which were located in boxes underneath. A number of the delegations had spread out huge banners. These, together with the 158 large American flags, made a very impressive decoration. When the crowd had gathered for the first session, the University of Ohio broke the stillness with a college yell. Following this the Coliseum echoed with college spirit. One person especially is worth mentioning at this time. This was California’s rooter-king, a tall red- headed youth of splendid bearing. This young gentleman gave us a Show less

A tour by the Glee Club will be made commencing Feb. 23 and con— tinuing about two weeks, unless something unforseen hinders. The tour will be made thruout the northwestern part of this state and eastern North Dakota. After having been elected chairman of the tour committee, and having rejoiced over the prospects of making another tour with the Glee Club, B. Helland was informed by the school’s president that he could not be spared from teaching, and hence could not make the tour with us. We regret that “Bear” can not make the tour with us. He has always been a hustler in the Glee Club, and also a source of good cheer on former tours. Owing to Helland’s plight, a partial reconstruction of the Glee Club has been made imperative. Soberg has been moved from the extreme left end to the extreme right end of the Glee Club formation; namely, from the first bass section to the second tenor section. Maurice Solie has been accepted to fill the vacancy caused by this change. Oscar (Skee) Felland has become a regular member of the Band. His duty is to play the cymbals. Several new members have been added to the Chorus since the holidays. The Chorus has been making marked progress of late. Caleb Quan- beck is its president. We are confident that the Chorus, under the splendid leadership of Prof. Harry Anderson, will make itself heard in the near future. £39 "NUFF SEED” ——-Show less

I live to learn their story, VVho’ve suffered for my sake; To emulate their glory, And follow in their wake; Bards, patriots, martyrs, sages, The noble of all ages, Whose deeds crown history’s pages, And time’s great volume make. I live to hold communion \Vith all that is divine; To feel there is a union ’Twixt nature’s heart and mine; To profit by affliction Reap truths from fields of fiction, Grow wiser from conviction, And fulfil each grand design. I live to hail that season, By gifted minds foretold, When men shall live by reason. And not alone by gold; When man to man united, And every wrong thing righted, The whole world shall be lighted As Eden was of old. Show less

One swing of his arm set not only the delegates from California into motion, but the entire gathering in the Coliseum. After that first motion on the part of this wonderful speci- men his arms and legs were swinging around as if they had been pro- pelled by electricity. All the larger school bodies displayed an excellent college spirit. Gatherings of the various delegations as well as of groups from certain states or church organizations were in order between sessions. One of the most notable of these gatherings, in our humble opinion, was the “Free Church Banquet”. At this gathering we had the pleasure of meet- ing our friends from the mission fields of India and Madagascar, our neighbors from the Deaconess Institute, som of our acquaintances from Oak Grove, a number of former graduates from our own school, a representative from the University of Wisconsin, one of our camp pastors, who, by the way, was toastmaster at our banquet, one of our professors, a delegate from White’s Bible School, and the president of our church organization. Our only regret was the scarcity of time. Some of the most impressive moments of the whole convention were those when the 8,000 persons in the Coliseum bowed their heads in silent prayer. To be permitted to look out over that vast assembly of men and women, realizing that many of them would be leaders, not only in Amer- ica, but thruout the world in two or three decades, and to see those people with their heads bowed and their hearts and minds lifted in com- munion with God, was an experience that comes into one’s life only to linger forever in his memory. John R. Mott voiced the spirit of the great majority of the delegates when he said in his opening address, “We should have a spirit of earnestness and open-mindedness, with courageous faith in God.” It was naturally required of any man who dared speak from the platform that he had something worth saying. Our expectations were not doomed to disappointment. We had met to be instructed and guided, not to be entertained by hollow platform wit or sophistry. John R. Mott, who has been called one of the greatest generals in all history, directed the deliberations of the convention with unique tact and a commanding personality. He is a man of stature, well built, and appears to be in the best of health. His hair is slightly streaked with gray, but still retains much of its dark richness. His voice has a quality of fulness and car- ries well, while his manner of speaking is deliberately forceful, ringing with the conviction born of knowledge of conditions which have touched Show less

Show moreAUGSBURG ECHO 26 of the “Supplement” to be found in each weekly issue as there were in the first, but we can expect more of that sort of material than there has been up to this time. We enjoy reading such essays as “As a Man Thinketh.” Such thoughts are expressed as will interest young students, especially those who have reached the stage when they stand at the threshold of life looking towards the future, thinking what their days before them shall be: a success or a failure. This article shows how such men as Lincoln, Washington, and other men of ability have suceeded in their struggles in life and won both success and honor as only few can. They had learned to think for themselves and they lived up to their opinions in spite of what. others thought of them. In our own life, our success or failure will depend upon how we think and how we practise to live ac~ cording to our opinions. Power of will is also a great factor in attain- ing success. The author of this essay states in conclusion: “The great successes of history have been the results, not of fortune or circum— stances, but of sheer will power on the part of the persons involvec.” Several articles such as, “Going Up to the Front”, and “Thru France on Hob-nails” are written by young men who have ably given us impres- sions of their trials and experiences at the battle—fronts. Such ex- periences which our brothers had are often told, but they seem never to grow old, because they show how well each man endured the trials, and fought in order to gain the great victory. The poetry which we find in the “Supplement” is of such a type as to prove that we have yet those who can express their thoughts and feelings in that beautiful way. The poem, “The River”, deserves com- ment. It pictures the soul like a river, flowing onward thru life, pas- sing on thru trials and tempests. It is victorious only when it has en- dured its trials and fought the true fight of life. after which it shall be borne by angels to that distant golden shore. “The Whispering Pines" is a beautiful picture of that kind of trees in their life thru the seasons of the year. They stand in the cold and storms fully as green and cheer— ful as they do in the spring. They form a beautiful picture which the author so ably has given us in this poem. Other articles are written, all of which show the ability of the students to express themselves by writing articles of various types cover- ing topics of both local and general interest. Few grammatical errors can be detected, which proves the careful work on the part of both the writers and the editorial staff. Show less

Show more‘. ~‘-. 9* AUGSBURG ECHO 31 med vemod vi maa 11¢re paa dette naar det blir fortalt fra mange hold. Men hvad skal vi sige til det? Den troende, opvakte ungdom kjender trang til at utvikle sine evner, 0g derfor s¢ker han skolen. Som sagt saa kommer han ved skolen plud- selig ind i et helt forskjellig arbeidsprogram 0g tankeliv. Tanker 0g evner som f¢r laa slumrende i hans sjael, vaekkes nu til virkelighet. Saa- ledes er den unge, bevisst eller ubevisst, kommen ind i et betydnings- fuldt avsnit av sit liv. Ja, saa betydningsfuldt, at det for de flestes vedkommende danner grundlaget for deres senere livs lykke. For mange har kundskapstilegnelse beriket deres aandsliv 0g styrket deres tro paa Gud. Hos andre er troeslivet blit koldt, overfladisk 0g aandsl¢st. Er det sandt som siges: “Han gik paa skolen nogen aar, 0g der t¢rket han op P” Er det (la uundgaaelig at tilegne sig kundskap und- tagen paa troeslivets bekostning? Er det ikke mulig for studenten at leve et seirende troesliv paa samme tid som han faar en systematisk videnskapelig utdannelse? Jo, historien 0g eksempler fra vor egen tid viser at der er mulig, ja, endog n¢dvendig. Vi maa dog indr¢mme den s¢rgelige sandhet. at den kristelige aands- utvikling hos den studerende ungdom holder ikke skridt med deres in- tellektuelle utvikling; ti vanskeligheterne som en ungdom m¢ter under skolelivet er store 0g mange. At aands- 0g tankeutviklingen ikke gaar haand i haand kommer kanske f¢rst derav, at studenten lever meget mer i tankernes verden end i erfaringens; ti vi finder ofte at teoretisk kan den studerende ha et klart 0g greit syn paa kristelige ting, uten at ha indvundet noget av en kristelig karakter. Under skolelivet traenger enhver student sympati 0g vis ledelse, om ikke hans aandelige liv skal forkrgfibles. og han skal lide skibbrud paa sin tro; ti hundreder av tanker krydser hans hjerne, 0g disse tanker vaek— ker igjen nye sp¢rsmaal 0g saetter nye opgaver for ham at 1¢se. Det blir derfor vanskelig for ham at bli stille i b¢n til Gud. Under et slikt for- hold er det let at miste kraften i sit liv med Gud; 0g trangen til b¢n blir ogsaa borte. Det kjendes ogsaa vanskelig at faa annamme ordet i tro; ti det kan ikke altid forstaaes slik som matematik, historie 0g geografi. Dernaest f¢lger ogsaa at det blir vanskelig for studentene som en forsamling at pleie de helliges samfund, som er saare vigtig for frelste sjeele; ti Gud har forordnet velsignelsen at b0 der. Men skal dette samfund bli til gjensidig opbyggelse for studentene, maa barnekaarets aand faa lede 0g tugte den enkelte sjael. Show less

Fast and snappy playing, good teamwork and fighting spirit lay at the bottom of this victory. Thruout the entire first half and part of the second half our team was held be- hind, but in the last few minutes of playing the boys came back with a rush and took the game. A. Harbo made his shooting count for 19 points. Walgren, who played his first game, made 8 points. The guards, Melby and Korsmo, did some stellar guarding. Halvorson was hurt, but that only seemed to help him to play all the harder. Jerstad and Fram- stad were out of the game, Jerstad being sick in bed. The lineup: A. Harbo R. F. Reidle Walgren L. l".

As cheer leader Trygve Dahle has been elected, and we look for some spirited yelling under his leadership. Dahle and Soberg now look to you for staunch support. Help them, cheer with them, yell with them, and show that you have the strOngest lungs. Get your tickets; be on hand. And you who are new, we want you there too. Turn out now at the next game as before and see the boys play. This means you. The gym team has made considerable progress and is beginning to show great proficiency in gymnastics.
