THE GOSPEL TEAM HaJvorsOn Peterton Quanbcck Olaon The Gospel Team C i OR God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son. that I™ whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.” This is the message which also the men of the Gospel Team had the privilege of bearing to the people they visited; and their joy was great when persons received the word into their hearts. The Gospel Team was formed when it was found that the Gospel Quartet could not hope to visit all the places to which it had been invited. Four men gladly accepted the opportunity. ‘These were Harold Ilalvorson. I hor Quanbcck, Christ Olson, and John Petersen. After diligent preparation they started out in June, and visited churches in North Dakota, South Dakota. Minnesota, and Wisconsin. 1922 « i : i i i i i i i • i i i i i i • i i i i PACK TWKNTY-SKVKN

 ii! Nyitwn TUE GOSPEL QUARTET TunK etH Qualbcn Bcrg The Gospel Quartet FOR some time many persons had expressed the wish to see organized teams going out from Augsburg to do evangelistic work in the congregations. A definite step was taken in this direction when the Gospel Quartet was formed during the winter of 1921. It was composed of consecrated young men, who felt the call for service, and who saw in the work a great opportunity for good. 'The four men who formed the Quartet, Anker llerg, F.rling Tungseth. I.ars Qualbcn, and Joseph Xystuen, prepared faithfully during the winter and spring months, in order to he ready to go when the school-year ended. The churches opened their doors, and so many invitations were sent in that another quartet had to Ikj organized. During the summer, the Gospel Quartet traveled thru Nebraska, Iowa. Wis- consin, Minnesota, and North Dakota. Their work proved a great blessing to many souls, as well as to themselves, for they had the great privilege of seeing the wonderful power of God in transforming lives. 1922 l-AC.r TWK.NTV SIX

Union prayer-meetings arc held every W ednesday evening for the whole student body. There are also prayer-meetings twice a week in the different dormitories. Prayer in private and in union with others is one of the greatest instruments in awakening interest in missions. The interest in Foreign Missions is increasing. W'e have quite a large Student Volunteer band. A mission study meets once a week to study the various fields and methods of mission work. The society still supports a native worker in Madagascar, and otherwise shares in the work in the mission field. ---------------------------- -ssssssi.---= 1922 :-------------- I PACK TWBNTY-KICIIT
