THE ACOKN 21 omkring. Aklrig i mitt liv har jag sett en mera hemskt tjusande syn. Solen hade nu sjunkit Over berget i vaster. Hogst rppe pa ostra bergskammen lAg annu ett matt purpursken, vilket blev svagare for arje minut, men i dalen var becksvart watt. Stenhallen, pA vilken vi sutto, var omkring 20 tot fran kant till kant, ocb lifts tan rund som en disk. Xnda upp till dess kant stodo de jattcstora traden lik-som pA vakt omkring oss. V'ftr lilla eld kastade sitt flamtande. blodroda sken pa deias stammar, och da syntes de fa liv och rorelse. De vredo sig, de bojde sig ocb lutade framat, som om de amnade att 1‘alla over och krossa oss. Och under allt detta hordes ej ett ljud ur skogen, ej en susning, men vi kande det som om tusen-tals ogon voro riktade pA oss fran dess niSrka djup. I inina tankar runno orden ur the Penman : There are shades in the Fen, ghosts of women and men.— O'er the waters they thread with their lanterns of dread, and they peer in tne pools, in the pools of the dead. Flasket hade varit salt och potatisen torr, och vi hade intet vatten. Nu borja-de torsten att plAga oss. Den tomma vat-ten f la ska n stod mellan oss; men vem skul-lo f.vlla den? Vi sAgo pA varandra, men ingen sade eller gjorde nftgot. Till sist stod dock Per upp, tog flaskan och gick inat skogen. Som han avlagsnade sig Iran eklen, syntes han bliva allt stdrre och stor-re, till (less han, som en jattestor skugga smalte sanunan med mttrkret omkring. En stund prasslade det i de torra barren pA mar ken, men sA blev allt tyst, en hemsk tystnad i vilken jag holl andedrftk-ten for att lyssna. jag vet ej for vad, jag vantade att fA hora nftgot och jag tick; ett rop av fruktan nftdde mina oron, oca annu ett. vilket borjade hogt och vilt men slutade doft och tryckt, som om rflsten blivit kvftvd pA maunens lappar. Jag satt dar, stelnad av fasa, en stund. men slutli-gen fick jag kraft nog att ropa: Per, Ter!” Intet annat svar nftdde mig an (let dova ekot. Igen ropade jag, och igen. men utan svar, DA tog jag mitt gevar och gick samma vag, som Per gfttt. DA jag kommit ett stycke framftt, kunde jag hdra (let latta soviet av rinnande vatten, och detta ledde mina steg, ty jag visste att det lett min toregftngares, genom morkret. Snarl kande jag att inarken sluttade nedftt, och darner e var en ljusare strimma, det var vat-ten. Per, Per!” ropade jag igen, och som svar pA mina rop reste sig en hemsk skep-nad ur vattnet. Forst vad syntes vara ett kollosalt liuvud. sA ett par utstrackta ar-raar, och sist en kropp, som alltjamt blev stdrre. tills den stod over mig, en jatte-skepnad. jag hade gevaret i handen. Hu-ru det brann av vet jag ej. men Jag sftg eldslftgan, som bar kulan riitt genom skep-naden framfor mig, men denna endast vaxte och vftxte, medan skottet rullade som tusen Askor. DA slappte jag bossan och sprang. Som jag sprang kom ett tjut som av hundra demoner ur jorden under mina Cotter. Huru jag kom tillbaka till eklen. vet jag ej. och huru natten slutligen byttes i dag. kan jag ej omtala, men jag vet. att solen var uppe, innan iag rorde mig. Da var allt snart fdrklarat. Spoket i vattnet var ett trad, pft vilket var en stor gren med gulnadc barr. Av vattnet vandes trU-det understundom sft, att grenen kom upp. TJuten ur marken hade kommit fran Per. som failit i en bergskreva. fran vilken han ej sjalv kunde komma ut. Samma dag borjade vi hemfarden.

the acorn 2i MINISTERIAL STUDENTS BETHEL ACADEMY T. M. S. A. This association commenced last September with twelve members and has been Increased during this year by five, making a total enrollment of seventeen. During the past year several of these students have held churches in the neighboring towns and cities. During the Christmas vacation, nearly all of them conducted meetings in some church in Minnesota, or in the neighboring states. Not only away from school, have they held meetings; but also one every other week at school Ir. the beginning of the school year, Dr. Lagergren and Dr. Sandell favored us with lectures at these meetings. The latter part of the year outlines of different texts in the Bible have been put on the blackboard by different students. These outlines have been criticized and rebuilt by our able teacher in Homiletics. Dr. E. Sandell. The society feels that it has a class, to which it can welcome any young man v ho is preparing for the ministry. The members feel greatly indebted to their beloved teacher. Dr. Sanded, for the ii'terest he has shown, for the loyal work he has done and for the encouraging remarks he has bestowed upon us as a class during the past school year. Each member hopes that God will give Dr. Sandell good health and a long life, that he may be able to be a source or inspiration to us and others, to follow us yet for many years to come.
