'7kea(ayic zC T efeantmeat aside as an hour of prayer at which time the stu- dents join their hearts and voices in giving praise and thanks to Almighty God for His eternal love in Christ Jesus and in seeking from Him grace, wis- dom. and strength that His kingdom may come and His will be done on earth. In these hours of prayer the members of the society are edified and quick- ened to a life of deeper devotion and consecration to the calling wherewith they have been called. The social side of life is not omitted in the society's program. In the spring of the year the members of the Concordia Society (with the consent of the faculty) openly defy the professors' rights to en- force class attendance and in a body take to the open spaces for a day of baseball, volleyball, plenty of sunshine, and sizzling hot steaks: the consequences of which are visited upon the members for several days afterwards. The Concordia banquet has be- come an annual affair at which function the mem- bers of the society together with a select sprinkling of the fairer sex indulge in an evening of fun and fellowship. Through all of these activities the members of the society really do become of one heart. Thus, the name Concordia is indeed an appropriate one.

Concordia Society Seated: Hoversten. Kallovig, Krueqer. Sorenson, Brandt, P. Sonnack . . . Standing: Katin, Reesnos, Franzen Torqrimson. Nelson, Carlton. GronsetK. I. Sonnack. The Concordia Society is a democratic organiza- tion comprising all of the students of Augsburg Seminary. The only requirement for membership is that the individual be a student in the seminary. One of the purposes of the society is to provide for its members an extra-curricular means whereby problems of a practical nature may be presented and discussed. Prominent theologians are invited to speak on timely and practical subjects after which the members of the society are encouraged to ask questions and make their own individual contribu- tions to the discussion. Much good has come of these meetings, for the students have been wisely guided in their thinking and stimulated to see tho deep-rooted implications of specific phases of pas- toral work. It has been the good fortune of the society in the past few years to have secured the services of such men as Dr. T. O. Burntvedt. Dr. B. M. Christensen. Dr. John Stensvag. Dr. Paul Rees. Dr. Sveere Nordborg, Dr. John Milton, and others. The Concordia Society also provides for its mom bers a means whereby the inward spiritual life of the individual may be enriched through Christian fellowship.
