It is vital for us as we grow into a fuller personal possession of these func- tions that they are placed in the service of the good. Your will is going to have an increasingly great influence in determining the value of your life both for yourself and for your fellow men. Your will may be selfish and narrow. You cannot then trust it to determine your actions in any but a selfish and narrow manner. It becomes a hindrance instead of a help to you when you wish to do good. To be useful and to be good is the one worthy and satisfactory aim for your life. Mow important is it not then for you to have in your will a “holy desire?” And a “steadfast purpose ,—without that, what difficulty or opposition can you overcome? To do good means to work. To work means to get tired and oftentimes discouraged. 1 low shall you continue your work cheerfully to its end unless your purpose is steadfast? To do good means to fight evil. Victory belongs to the tenacious in the struggle, to him of single purpose who, in the heart of battle, is not confused as to the issue. How great an advantage do you not have in your fight if in your will there is a “steadfast purpose?'’ And in the struggle, so vital to you, for the mastery of yourself, to gain con- trol over your powers that they may be used aright, surely you have no greater help than this, to have in your will a “holy desire and a steadfast purpose.” “To grow up is to assume the responsibility for the right use of your life. For this use you must render an accounting. As a Christian you wish to live your life in a manner worthy of your profes- sion. Then cherish as one-of your best possessions, the gift you have, given you from your Master, the holy desire and steadfast purpose” in your will. Do not let this gift grow dull through misuse or lack of use, blit through a continued exercise of it have it increase in strength. It will pull you through many a tight place and carry you up many a steep climb. George Srerdru[ . % PAGE TEN TH OIvOGICAI, Seniors 1916 1917 John A. Houkom - Fargo, N. D. Augsburg Academy, lgio.

The mere glance at their physiogno- mies is sufficient to convince the-most ardent sceptic of this truth. In fact, it is a cosmopolitan class and, as such, it is vitally interested in all endeavors, having as their motives, the betterment of humanity. Hut they differ some- what as to the manner of remedying the evils, which, in addition to the fact that each one considers himself infallable when speaking ex cathedra”, occasion- ally results in controversies. This has compelled some members to withdraw for lack of sufficient arguments. For further information consult Who is Who in America”. PAGE SEVENTEEN ♦ ♦ 3. Han skal vccrc sig selv.

PAGE TWENTY-THREE ALF HARBO OLE HAUKENESS EDWIN PAULSON Junior Class It may rightly be said that the Junior year is the most crucial in the career of an undergraduate. Two years of difficult laboring with arbitrary, definitely outlined subjects have prepared him for the change which he finds in his cur- riculum when he enters this class. Previously he has been held to absolute and initiative subjects; now he suddenly finds himself in a new environment where originality and spontaneity are engendered and fostered. 11 is vision becomes broader, his aspirations soar higher. In a word, he commences to find himself. Such, indeed, has been the experience of the Junior class. Their number iias been small, but, may it be said to their honor, fifty per cent of their class can be found following the colors. Those in the camps arc realizing the significance of life; those remaining behind are preparing themselves so that they may be able to cope with life’s problems when they confront them.

The college course should be so, that the young man who begins college work, may feel that now he is at a place where efforts are being made to make him a better man, more cap- able of doing his duties in life. 1 It; should be led to feel that life is earnest, and that lie is placed in the world for the purpose of developing his character and serving humanity. These efforts are being made at Augsburg. And tliis is why we are glad to be here. Though we meet many difficulties in solving the many problems of the various courses of study, yet we enjoy the obstacles. It is our hope that we, as we progress, may keep the right spirit, because then we know that our work will be of value to ourselves and those with whom we come in contact.

Iver Iverson Second Preparatory Class The Second Preparatory Class consists of thirteen members. Eleven of these come from rural districts of the northwestern and central states; the other two come from cities in the middle west. Many of these are students who for several reasons had ceased to attend school while very young. But, after learning that an education was absolutely necessary in this competitive age, they have come here to resume their studies. For this reason, most of them do not waste time and money for foolish pleasure as other students often do, but they do their best to use both time and money for something useful. Besides the regular work, this class is interested in a great many outside activities; such as, the Augsburg Brass Band and the Lyceum Debating and Public Speaking Society. And, further, they take an active part in athletic ex- ercises. including work in the school gymnasium, basket-ball, skating, baseball, tennis, and swimming.

To suit the conditions that exist in the different schools, and to permit the teacher to make his course as long or short as desired, the work is divided into four sets, each of which is separate and distinct. The first set teaches the fundamental principles of bookkeeping and accounting. The second set teaches the principles of partnership bookkeeping. The third set teaches the principles of corporation bookkeeping, the special accounts required in a corporation set of books. The fourth set teaches the principles of cost ac- counting as practically applied in modern business. Penmanship and Commer- cial Law is taught in conjunction with the above work. t A attg of tabor O the hours of youth arc golden, And the days of youth arc rare, But the years of age are laden With a weary weight of care. Take me back for just a moment To those pleasant days at school, When my thoughts were running rampant, And my heart was pleasure’s tool. Little knew I of the labor That awaited me in life, Little knew I lasting honor Is the fruit of toil and strife. But the years of age have taught me That we conquer to be free; And my life’s long span has brought me. Nearer to sublimity. For God made us with a purpose, In His good omniscient way; So He makes our labors joyous, In the triumphs of the day. Let us go about our toiling With a noble end in view; Struggling, hoping, striving, winning. With our hearts forever true. B. A. H. ■'M PAGE FORTY-ONE ♦ ♦ Top Row—Kvalbcen, Paulson, A. Harbo, L.

Selrner Framstad The Augsburg Echo The “Augsburg Echo” is the representative of the literary spirit of the student body. Through its pages are expressed the ideals, the hopes and fears, and the purposes of the individual students and of the student-body as a whole. What we are and what we would be can be read even between the lines of our school paper. The “Echo” should thus be the best expression of the life of the students, of the social side as well as of the side which is concerned with their studies. What an ideal we have to work for—to make our paper a true echo of the greatest and finest there is here at Augsburg! 'fhe contents of the “Echo” are written both in the Norwegian and in the English languages. The Norwegian language is given almost as much prominence as the English. Although the Norwegian Department is of great credit to the paper, yet the'English Department should be enlarged at the expense of the Norwegian, as the English language is now undoubtedly of more importance in the school work than the Norwegian. However, the love of the old mother tongue should be carefully fostered, and should by no means be allowed to die. The publication of the “Echo” lies wholly in the hands of the students. It is entirely through their efforts that subscribers and advertisers are gotten; every- thing is done by them except the printing. This is quite an undertaking for so small a student body and requires the loyal support of every student and alumnus.

John Jesten, Anker Berg Lyceum Debating Society The Lyceum Debating and Public Speaking Society is an academic organiza- tion drawing its membership from the four classes of that department. The society meets every Monday evening from seven to nine o’clock. All meetings are conducted in the English language, except the second meeting in each month which is held in the Norwegian tongue. The meetings have been live, interesting, and active. The usual program consists of a debate on some question of interest, or short speeches by several of the members. Realizing that drill in sound argumentation and proper expression will prove a valuable asset later in life, the boys are taking a great deal of interest in the society. Its aim is to give its members practice and training in the art of public speaking and debating. Last year a team chosen from the society was to meet Minnehaha Acadamy in debate, hut because of circumstances the event had to he cancelled. In February this year Augsburg accepted a challenge from the same school to a debate some time this spring. Augsburg has never lost a public debate with another school, and, encouraged by this good record, we hope that this year’s team will succeed in bringing home another victory.

Bottom Row—Clara Grand, Mrs. Grand, Jessie Wallmark Augsburg boarding Club The bell has rung! and off to the club we go, for there is no doubt but that we arc the hungriest “bunch” alive. In the dining hall on the third floor of the Old Main, Dixen the boarding boss presides. Of the time we stay at school, some of the meals at the club will never be forgotten. There we meet in mutual fel- lowship and talk of the things that have happened. There is no place where companionship is fostered as where people continually eat at the same table, as some of us do here. We usually are, altogether, about 100 students gathered there for meals, all in good spirit, making the best of everything. Seated as we are, eight at a table, we all do justice to the “eats” as much as those at other tables. Of men who take the liberty to address us here, we note especially one “Shylock”, whose real name is Haukeness, with his appeals for money. It costs to live, and it costs to pay the bills that he gets, so he gently reminds us of “money in advance.” President Dixen often has a little speech for us on various subjects, for as it seems, he has our bodily sustenance on his mind. He is right there, though, for he handles the affairs of the boarding club economically. Mrs. Grund, our cook, is a good cook indeed; she can prepare good things to cat, and yet “Hooverize” to meet the demands of the day. Jessie helps her, but she likes best to peel potatoes. Clara and Mablc are no slackers when it comes to waiting on the tables. In other words, they arc right there. PAGE FIFTY-SEVEN ♦ va ? Where There Is No Vision X the point of land formed by the Wawasso, and the Raven rivers, at the place where they join to form the larger De Raima, lies a small city. Years ago, before the octopus Greed spread his gold-seeking tentacles out over the fruitful country, a lonely trapper coming down the murky Raven had pitched his tent upon this lovely spot. It had become a trading-post for the woodsmen who dared to expose themselves to the dangers of the forests in their quest of From such small proportions it grew, in the course of half a century, into a town of several hundred hardy pioneers, who sustained themselves by cultivat- ing the few acres of tillable land round about. Very few had ever ventured more than twenty miles beyond the edge of the town. The trappers, who had ascended the Wawasso and the Raven to a distance of thirty miles, had reported an end- less tract of forest. The villagers, who had come to till the soil, did not receive these tidings with any manifestations of gladness. The forest was their enemy. It occupied the land which they coveted, and formed a formidable—tho ever- receding—barrier to their conquests. They had migrated from the East and South, where the soil had long been bearing abundant fruit. To them the tree- bedecked land seemed wasted. With wanton carelessness they destroyed the valuable timber and stretched their fields far into the woods. Such was the condition when John Lockwood came into the region. Lock- wood was from Maine, where the forests had already yielded up their wealth. He was a keen, aggressive man, whose greatest ambition lay no higher than that of the average selfish workman, but whose ability to attain that ambition was many times greater. Wealth—untold wealth, wealth acquired by any and all possible means—wealth was his aim. 1 lis shrewd eye perceived the millions lying waiting for the man who should be powerful enough to gather them. Sup- ported by bis influential friends back East, he commenced to harvest the enorm- ous crop of riches. With ruthless inattention to property rights he spread his giant hand over vast tracts of virgin forests. Soon the Wawasso and the Raven were filled with logs. The mighty De Raima kept the saws in his mills whirling. Great rafts of timber annually found their way to the greater cities by the sea. Lockwood was realizing his ambition. Meanwhile the village had grown into a small city. Industry had brought men; and men in return had brought more industry. From everywhere they flocked to this center of that potent attraction—Business. A few brought with them means enough to build homes; but by far the greater number had no material property. Financial derelicts, they had drifted, with the stream of humanity, into this whirlpool of activity. Lockwood had foreseen the necessity of supplying these men with quarters. For the single men he had built large, wealth. PAGE FIFTY-NINE ♦ ♦ did not notice the wonderful beauty of nature. Years of feverish chasing after money had made him indifferent to spiritual life, lie could not have enjoyed the beauty of the day even if he had been fortunate enough to notice it. A few steps up the street he came upon a one-armed beggar seated on the curb. When the cripple saw him he withdrew his hand, which had been out- stretched to receive alms, lie would not allow this man to give him anything; this man who had been the cause of all his suffering; this man who, when he had lost his arm while at work at the mill, had refused to make any reimburse- ment and had carried the case to the higher courts, where poor men have not the means to follow. Lockwood saw the motion and passed on. The little children skulked away as he approached. Women passed him with malicious glances. Thoughtless young girls hushed their cheery laughter as he neared them. Men set their teeth and clenched their fists—in their pockets—when he passed their way. Even the respected and influential citizens merely recognized him with a formal nod. Sullen subservience and suppressed hatred met him everywhere. Slowly he mounted the steps to his palatial home. The footman at the door admitted him with a bow. He gave the maid his coat and hat and entered his private study. Here was the sanctuary of the god Wealth. I fere many great plans had been laid and many important contracts had been signed. I Ic dropped into a luxuriously upholstered chair and gave himself over to his thoughts. To- day he had been forced to meet the fact of the diminishing forests squarely. He had had premonitions of its coming for two years. Now it was a reality. The knowledge had brought him to himself as he had never been before during the fifteen years of his enterprise. The man in him was awakening to meet the slave. He had been Wealth's bondsman; he was beginning to realize his servility. He had expected to have become happy in his riches, happy and free. But where was now that happiness; where was that freedom! Lockwood raised his eyes from the floor. The afternoon was growing late. One long streaming ray of sunlight entered the room. It fell upon the rows of richly-bound books, books whose sole purpose was to fill the mahogany cases along the walls. Lockwood’s eyes moved unseeingly along the volumes until they rested upon one that caused him to start. It was an old book which he had brought with him from New England. In his youth it had been his companion, but now it had stood idle for more than fifteen years. Slowly he arose and walked over to the case. With a hand made unsteady by emotion he opened the glass doors and took the book from its shelf. As if by some innate force it fell open to a page which he had often read when he was a boy. Near the bottom of the page was an underlined verse. Instinctively his eyes sought it. His lips moved. “Where there is no vision, there people perish.” He laid the volume down. “Yes”, he said slowly, “and souls also—and souls also.” Bernhard Holland, '18. PAGE SIXTY-ONE van A Letter of Appeal from the Mission Field (Part of a personal letter from China.) K arc happy and thankful to the Lord for calling us to reap the harvest in China. We arc busy from early in the morning till late at night, but what a joy to know that we are in the Master’s service! We know that we are leading souls to Christ. People who have never heard about the one true God come to attend the meetings; they listen to the Gospel, their hearts are touched and once more their souls are brought into communion with their Creator. Oh what ought we not to be willing to give in return for the privilege of seeing people turn away from their idols to worship the true God. What ought we not be willing to sacrifice when we arc permitted to share in the joy of seeing a nation brought from centuries of gloom and darkness into the bright sunshine of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.....There is something captivating in meeting the starving look of these people who so long have been in darkness and shadow of death. It makes your heart burn with desire to be of some help and comfort. “Meetings were conducted in the following way: Our evangelist read a pass- age from the Bible and then the meeting was open for personal testimonies. Ten of the catechumens arose and told how they found Christ. Their sentences were not very well formed and poorly connected, but it made me rejoice in my heart and surely there was also rejoicing in heaven, 'fell your school-mates their prayers have not been in vain. Tell others that their interest and sacrifices are resulting in precious souls being brought to the cross of Christ. It touches the heart to hear how they have to struggle against their old superstitions when turn- ing to God. They are often exposed to the ridicule and hatred of their relatives. They are not seldom cursed and persecuted by their relatives and neighbors. We foreigners do not realize fully what many here have to suffer for the sake of the Gospel. ’’The magnitude of the work here can not be fully realized at home, but the need for workers is great. 'Phis has been one of the greatest trials in the work. We plead for workers, but so few are coming. We fear that the Lord of mis- sions will take part of our field and give it to others who are willing to give men and money for the work. “Friends, are you willing to come out and help us in the work or will you want us to carry on the work alone with the feeling that our friends at home do not stand by us in the evangelization of these multitudes? “Yes, there arc disappointments and difficulties also on the mission field, and there are times when we feel like giving up in despair, still such thoughts are only temptations and we have to cling closer and closer to our Lord and Savior.” PAGE SIXTY-TWO ia ? Athletics Among the many different activities here at school, athletics and gymnastics are given a prominent and honored place, and rightly so. Proper physical educa- tion is, indeed, of vital importance for a successful career at any educational ' institution, and should therefore have a place in modern education corresponding to its relative importance. Ilardly any intelligent person of to-day would ever think of denying the truth embodied in Juvenal’s classic phrase, mens Sana in corpore sano (“a sound mind in a sound body”), and yet it is often maintained that athletics is over- emphasized at our higher educational institutions. This attitude towards athletics is, however, mainly due to the fact that the press places athletics in the public eye out of all proportion to the place it really occupies in our educational institu- tions. Athletics has been, and is in no immediate danger of becoming other than a simple and natural by-play in the course of American education. l'he danger of over-emphasizing athletics here at Augsburg is at least very remote and mainly so for two reasons. In the first place we do not have a very spacious campus, nor do we have any larger play-ground near by at our disposal. Secondly, our short spring term makes it rather difficult to develop a strong team for either baseball or football, though we have the most splendid material for either team. Our activities are therefore mainly confined to tennis and to indoor games, especially basket-ball, and athletic tournaments. Though our athletic activities arc rather limited, every Augsburgian seems to be keenly interested in the different games played, and we are always sure of having strong competition for a place on the different teams every year. This competition makes it more easy to select the very best material for the different teams and to develop teams of very high quality, l'he success of last year’s tennis team and of this year’s basket-ball team may be seen by taking a look at their respective records. This year’s tennis team will undoubtedly surpass the previous team, being that three of the old players arc back. l'he basket-ball team of 1914—15 has.had the reputation of being the most successful team Augsburg ever had. In the opinion of many, the team of 1917 —18 has made just as good, if not a better record than the 1914—15 team. That the 191-1—15 team had a better record than this year’s team is due to the fact that our last team played against stronger teams than the former team did. Under the successful leadership of our physical directors, Albert Hanson and Lars Kvall)cen, the work along the line of physical education has, indeed, made rapid progress here at school, and they have done considerable, not only to maintain, but also to raise our already high athletic standards. Athletic activities have therefore undoubtedly a brighter future than ever here at Augsburg. PAGE SIXTY-FOUR ♦ l jfugfSurgiarr Top Row—Angell Hansen. Leif Harbo.

Four of the old team members appeared on the floor, and, in addition to this, a number of the other students competed strongly for places on the team. After several try-outs the following members were elected: Melby, Sverdrup, Soberg, Kval- been, A. Ilanson (captain), 'forgerson. and T. Dalile. fhe team has practiced regularly twice a week during the year, and the results of this hard and constant drill have been very gratifying. The exhibition which the team gave on Monday evening, March 25, was, undoubtedly, the best of its kind that has ever been given in the Augsburg gymnasium. Some interest- ing and advanced exercises were performed on the various apparatus and on the mats. The most attractive features of this “Gym Meet were the various “stunts” which the team performed on the spring-board and box. Prof. Mills gave an interesting speech and, in behalf of the faculty, presented A’s to the first basket-ball team and to the Gym Team. These annual exhibitions given by the Augsburg Gymnasium Team have, undoubtedly, had a good and wholesome influence upon the students and have also created and stimulated a great deal of interest for athletic activities here at school.

The team-work of the players was a credit to the school. Here is shown one of the classes in gymnasium work. Most of them arc new at doing exercises and feel awkward at times, hut with practice they can, at least most of them, attain a certain proficiency. Instructor Albert Ilanson per- forming on the horse. The posi- tion of the body and the agility “to cut” with the legs are of the greatest importance here. PAGE SEVENTY-ONE Our Boys Also among us the war is being keenly felt. It is with feelings of sorrow and yet of pride, that we receive the reports that, one after another, our boys arc fast joining the colors. It comes to us as a shock when we hear that our classmates, our chums, have left to serve our country, to offer their lives if need be for a just cause. Already we have reports that some of them are in France where a fearful struggle is now taking place. We at home arc brought to realize that liberty and freedom can assume greater values than material things, than even life itself. For we cannot but feel that underlying much of the apparent light-heartedness of the boys’ fighting for us, there lie the most serious thoughts and motives. We too often judge by outward aspects. Behind all there is an unquestionable sincerity of purpose which we belive more or less animates each one of our boys. The spirit of sacrifice yet lives in spite of the wide-spread materialism of our times. Therefore, we may be pardoned if we feel proud of our boys who are willing to offer their all for this cause. On our service flag which contains 39 stars, one gold star already appears. It is there in memory of Oscar S. Soberg who fell at Ypres while fighting with the Canadian forces.

Der er ting en heist skulde pnske at springe over i livet, bare fordi det tar bang tid og voider saa meget besvier. Den gamle priedikant syncs ha tienkt over tingen og er kommet til det resul- tat, at der maa tas tid til forbcrcdelser for enhver idrict. Ellers kommer en ingen vci.

Det kegger grundlaget for en rig h0st. Dctte er livets lod. Og det er Guds lov. Der maa tas tid til at lage mat og tid til at spise den. Ellers vil manden due til ingen ting. Skal automobilen gjfire sin tjcncste, maa dcr tas tid og penge til at forsyne den med gasolin. Vaskevand vil ikke tjene som drivkraft for en automobil. Det er Guds lov.

PAGE SEVENTY-NINE I PAGE EIGHTY-ONE van Augsburg and Patriotism MOXG the outstanding characteristics generally found in graduates and ex- ----students of Augsburg Seminary, is an active participation in every move- ment for civic betterment. Augsburg has the reputation among prohibition leaders all over America of furnishing more active workers for their cause than any other school. Reformers have repeatedly stated in my hearing: “You can depend on him, he is an Augsburger” or “He is a Free Church Minister and he is sure to lend his assistance.” “Put Mr...........in charge of the campaign here, iie is a gradu- ate from Augsburg Seminary,” and many other similar phrases. To be true to American ideals, loyal to American institutions, and lovers of America, is to he patriotic. At Augsburg, American ideals of independence, equal- ity and democracy are not only preached, but practiced; not only lauded, but lived. A free church separate from and independent of the State, public schools, free from domination by class, race or sect, city, county, state and national gov- ernments wherein the law makers and the iaw interpreters, as well as those who shall enforce the laws, are all selected directly or indirectly by the people, these are our American institutions. These may not be perfect; continual changes to bring them up to our ideals are necessary, and lie who sacrifices the most to bring the American institutions up to American ideals, thereby proves his greater loyalty. Augsburg has fully proven its loyalty to American institutions by the active interest everywhere manifested by her sons in civic righteousness. Xo one is a true American without being thoroughly in love with America. This is a love that rests on a Christian foundation. This is the love Moses showed when he requested God to strike his name from the Book of Life rather than to destroy Israel. This is the love Christ manifested when He gave His life to redeem the world. 11 is followers reflect 11 is life and give their all that their people may live, their country be made belter, and mankind be saved. The Christian religion is the foundation of all teaching at Augsburg, and upon the lives where this foundation is laid, America must build her moral foun- dation. A. Markve. PAGE EIGHTY-TWO va ? Fra Ekebergaasen KT var en deilig vaaraftcn i slutten av april at jog sat oppc paa Ekebergaasen for at sc paa solnedgangen. Det var en av disse forundcrlige vaarkvelder med vaarens lysdis over mark og eng, mens en graa-hvit. dunagtig taake laa som en rok indimellem tracr og busker. Alt var saa forunderlig stillc, fuglesangen var ddd bort, og solve kekkesildret li rtcs kun som en svak, hemmeligbetsfuld hvi- sken. Den eneste lyd som virket forstyrrende paa den forundcrlige helgedags- stilhct var en svak larm nu og da fra “storbyen langt dernede i bunden av gry- ten . Solstraalerne brptes mot vandflaten og badet det graa-blaa vand i en gvl- den glorie, mens smaabaatcne og lyst-kutterne krydsct from og tilbake, saa ut som de svffrnniet i en sj0 av giild. Rundt omkring laa per og holnier badet i den nedgaaende sols straaler. De livite villaer lyste from mellem de grpnne trier, mens robaatenc laa og skvulpct dovent langs stranden. Inde paa liavnen laa en masse skiber, store og smaa, om hinanden. Store passagcr dampskibe laa side om side med smaa, skidne riekcskpiter, og linger ute paa liavnen laa seilskibcne med de npknc master stikkende op i veiret som fingrene paa en liaand. Ute ved fiestningen laa nogen franske krigsskibe i clyster ensom- lici, med de sviere kanoner stikkende ut fra siden, truende og frygtindgydende. Over selve bycn bang en skidden, graa rdk, som syntes at kaste en mprk skyggc over alt, syntes at holde solcn belt viekke, og istcdcnfor kaste en m0rk dannpende kappe over den pulserer.de liovedstad. Opover mot I lolmenkollen og I'rognersicteren stod skogen m0rk og dystcr. Solcn rak ikke dit op laniger. Og de mange turistboteller, som ellers laa og lyste i solcn, var nu ikke til at sjelne fra den niffrke granskog som strakte sig rundt deni paa alle sider. Disse deiligc granskoger, bvor saa mangen en nedbrudt stakkar bar gjenvundet helsen, er fyldt med folk naar sneen ligger h0i og blot indover markene. Men naar sneen smelter, og de kjcndte Ipiper forvandles til kroketc, vanskelige skogstier, er det ikke mange som gaar indover. Bare en og andcn fiskcr som skal prjfve lykken i de deilige rretkulper, eller nogen studen- ter som skal paa “landtnr.” Men soleti var nu sunkct lavere og lavere, til den tilslut var belt forsvundet, og den vestlige del av binjmelen laa som badet i blod, mens sjdcn, hvor den av- speilet den flammende liimmel, laa gylden blank.

In 1872 the school was moved to Minneapolis. Minn., where it still is. The Seminary was founded in order to provide education for men who wished to enter the ministry of preaching the gospel in the Lutheran church among Norwegians settled in America. Augsburg Seminary has three departments—a theological, a college and a preparatory department. The Theological Department aims to give young men duly qualified a three year’s course in theology in order to fit them to be pastors in free Lutheran congregations. The College Department, through a full college course, seeks to give a fitting preparation for a fruitful study of theology. Besides this course is so arranged that it gives a college educa- tion also to such as do not intend to enter the Christian ministry, but who wish to receive their college training under the influence of Christian truth. The Preparatory Department corresponds to a high school course and while giving a regular high school course, it seeks to instil Christian principles and spirit into the minds and hearts of the students. Augsburg Seminary is 49 years old. Prom the theological department there have been graduated 412 young men with the degree candidatus theologiae; and from the college department 261 young men with the degree B. A.

You can attain all these if you will do as others have done who have succeeded—read the Bible. It is the door to Peace, Power and Plenty. While business cares, social life or household duties may crowd the Bible out, why not take advantage of vacation time to get new inspira- tion by reading the Bible? Read it in the quiet shade of the trees, by the lake or brookside, and gain new strength, that will enable you to overcome your disad- vantages, forsake bad habits and develop your better self. We have a fine line of Bibles and Testa- ments, the best editions of different Bible publishers in King James’ Version and Amer- ican Standard Revised Version. They are small and light, so they are no burden in the pocket, handbag, suit-case or trunk. ’Have a Bible or Testament with you wher- ever you go, whether on pleasure trip, vacation or to the battlefront. People often resolve that they are going to read a great deal of the Bible sometime, and while their intentions are good, they never seem to find the opportunity. TEXT BIBLES. Old and New Testaments.
