22 THE BETHEL HERALD SEMINARIETS GRADUANTER 1919 C. J. BERGSTROM

Page 23 text:

THE BETHEL HERALD 21 Institution of Washington, D. C. He had found two new rivers, one of which he has named the Entambangor River and the other the Suvtoranian River. He shot fourteen lions, two elephants and brought back quite a few relics for the institution. “In. London I called upon another classmate of ours. Arthur Nelson. Arthur is a wonderful power in old England, let me tell you. His powerful voice and wonderful personality have won for him a large hearing. He is pastor of Spurgeon’s old church and enormous crowds flock to hear him. He is president of a large college and seminary. I saw his name in large headlines on the first page of a London newspaper in connection with a great speech he made regarding a bill just pending in Parliament, .and I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw all the titles strung out ot'ter his name. Ph.D.. LLD., M.A., B.A.. D.D., and I don’t know what all. You know the English are great for appending the titles. After leaving London. I sailed for home, and reached New York in a short time without any mishap.” “Well, Jakie, you certainly had a great trip. I wouldn’t mind to have been along. But I almost forgot what I wanted you to come here for. primarily. I am sure you will want to help me enlarge our church edifice to accommodate our growing crowds. My trustees wont do anything, and I was just wondering if you were in a position to help us.” “Surely, Dr. Peterson, if a check for $10.-000 would help yon any I would be glad to give it to you. and I wouldn’t notice it a bit.” “Thank you, ever so much. But say, wasn’t there one other classmate you didn’t mention. You didn’t happen to meet him. but I understand he is living somewhere in the United States, has a pleasant little parish, and is doing quite as well as any of the rest of us.” BE A BOOSTER! If you think your school the best Tell ’em so! If you’d have it lead the rest. Help it grow! Let the other fellow roast. Shun him as you would a ghost. Meet his banter with a boast And a smile. When there is anything to do Let others count on. you. You’ll feel good when it is through Don’t you know? When a stranger from afar Comes along. Tell him who and what you are, Make it strong. If you are used to giving knocks. Change your style; Throw bouquets instead of rocks For a while. Never flatter, n.ever bluff, Tell the truth, for that’s enough. Be a booster, that’s the stuff, Don’t just belong.
