Froir. loft to right: F. Potorson, H. Rogors, P. Lundgror., V . Hag-strota, G. Ohtborg. Throughout the year the Religious Council held weekly meetings to discuss its plans end strengthen the groups subordinate to it. Once a month the leaders of the Gospel teams, prayer bands, and those in charge of morning devotions at the Boarding Club, were invited to meet with the executive officers. The president of the Council, Herschel Rogers, was in charge of the student chapels on Friday of each week. Those who assisted Rogers in the work of the Council were: George Ohs-berg, vice-president; Pearl Peterson, secretary; Paul Lundgren, treasurer; and William Hagstrom. To stimulate interest in Gospel team work as well as to inspire more active participation, a Gcspel Team Rally was held November 13. During the first semester of the year 1 $39-40 there were five Gospel teams actively engaged in various fields of religious service. The leaders of these teams were: Glenn Anderson, Robert Paulson, Francis Otto, Donald Johnson, and Val Hauk. The beginning of the second semester saw the following Gospel team leaders installed: Dalphy Fagerstrom, Dean Berry, Rodney Kephart, Olaf Nelson, and Leonard Hultgren. The Religious Council sponsored an Easter Gospel team trip which took a group through Western Illinois for a period of five days. A recent survey indicated that all Bethel students with the exception of 23 men and six women were actively engaged in some form of Christian service. A later survey revealed that 11 of these exceptions rallied to the teams. Another act of the Council was to reimburse the Missionary Band for the expenses the Band had incurred in transporting its teams during the year. The Gospel teams reported that their meetings have been encouraging and not without results. Members of the prayer bands have had sweet fellowship v ith cne another and Gcd. The vision of an active prayer and praise ministry has been caught. It is our anticipation that Bethel will go forward from grace to grace, and from glory to glory through her various religious activities.

M'iAAiona'up feand The Missionary Band is one of the outstanding religious organizations on Bethel's campus. Its main purpose is the promotion of the missionary vision and interest ct Bethel. As such, all its activities center dirocllv about the s:u-dents' relation to missions, not in the foreign field alone, but in all its aspects. For this year the officers have been: William Hagslrom, president; Ethel Ruff, vice-president; Mildred Lovegren, secretary-treasurer, and Fro:. Adolf Olson, faculty adviser. Every month the Missionary Band has held a meeting. At three of these gatherings returned missionaries from China told stories of the work from the fields. At two of the meetings motion pictures of missioncrv endeavors wore presented. Dr. Ewald Chalberg, at another meeting, emphesized the Prerequisites of a Missionary. One of the outstanding occasions was that one at which Dr. William Axling of Japan told of the unusual work of Kagawa. Each of these meetings stressed the practical relationship between the studen s and missions. The climax of this year's program was a Student Missionary Conference Retreat at Medicine Lake. Students from seven colleges rnet for three days for the purpose of gaining a renewed vision of missionary opportunities. The Lord so led that Bethel students were able to earn sufficient money to attend. Throughout the Retreat Rev. Clarence Hanson of St. Paul stressed the importance of abiding in Christ as revealed in the fifteenth chapter of lohn. Mrs. Stadsklev, a missionary from Africa, challenged the young people with the moving story of her labors with the Baouli tribe. At the soul-energizing Sunday morning session the entire group pledged its willingness to do whatever the Lord willed. Within the past year there has been a steady growth of missionary interest at Bethel. The Missionary Band hopes to raise its membership of forty-two individuals to even higher numbers as the interest grows. The members are anticipating mighty things from God in the years to come.
