One of the ways in which the Lord trained His disciples was to send them out into the surrounding communities to preach. In a similar manner many Bethel students were sent out last June to preach the Good Tidings in various ports of our land, from Michigan to Washington, and up into Canada. Those who could do so retained their pastorates through the winter months. Student pastorates offer advantages to both the student and the church. They present to the prospective minister the opportunity of learning by doing and also provide for him a means of support. Then, too, they make possible the preaching of the Gospel in many fields which are unable to support a full-time pastor. Considerable progress has been noted in many of the fields. As a result some churches which have been student pastorates are now prepared to call a full-time pastor. The following are included in the list of student pastors: Harry Abrahamson, Eastern Heights Chapel, St. Paul; David Anderson, Osceola, Wis.; Gler.n Anderson, Dagget, Mich.; John Bergeson, Jessie Lake, Minn.; Alrik Blomquist, Rusk, V :s.; Gustave Ferre, Glen Flora, Wis.; Bertil Friberg, Spring Vale, Minn.; Truman Halvorsen, Spring Lake Park, Minn.; Hilton Hanson, Cushing, Minn.; William Hagstrom, Gibbon, Minn.; Carl Holmberg, North Isanti, Minn.; Raymond Johnson, Orock and Kra-gero, Minn.; Rawlin Johnson, East Balsam Lake, W:s.; Warren Johnson, Oxford, Minn.; Walter Julien, Becker, Minn.; Gordon Larson, Hasty, Minn.; Sydney Larson, Long Lake, Minn.; Wesley Lindblom, Meadow-vale Community, Minn.; Carl Lundquist, Harris, Minn.; Melvin Lur.deer., Elk River, Minn.; Paul I.undgren, Troy, Idaho and Cedarhome, Wash.; Francis McOiash.

Marquardt Two more gomes were dropped in succession, one to Austin by a score of 46 to 22, and one to Rochester with the final count showing 54 to 38. A pair of wins for the Bethel varsity followed with Albert Lea on the short end of a 42 to 30 score in the first game, and with Tracy taking the rays in the second by 40 to 31. The following night the conference champions from Worthington collected 52 points to take the measure of the Indians, who could score only 35 counters against their rangy opponents. The local squad, backed by the band and a student representation from Eethel, journeyed to Luther on February 28, only to lose a thriller by the count of 53 to 44. The following evening the scene of the fray was the Bethany College gym at Mankato. The braves scored at will to trounce their hosts, 61 to 20. On March 5, the varsity, playing their last game of the secson on the heme floor, defeated the Farm School again, this time by a five-point margin, 40 to 35. The total scores in all the games showed the Bethel team had garnered a total of 583 points or an average of 38.9 points per contest. Their opponents had amassed a total of 634 tallies to give them an average of 42.3 points per game. The squad was ably instructed by Coach William Adam. From a rather slow, erratic group of ball players he developed a steady, powerful quint which specialized in defensive play. But he taught the squad more than mere fundamentals. Each athlete learned to value true sportsmanship above victory. This cooperation between Coach Adam, and the team is exemplary of the fine spirit shown in all branches of the Bethel cthletic department. Thirty-tu:o
