THE D. M. L. C. MESSENGEIR

SEPTEMBER. Vacation days are gone; September now is here Which brings us one by one Back to our College dear.

We hope that all found pleasure, Which the past months have brought, And gained new strength and vigor To work the way we ought.

We welcome all the students Who this fall joined our flock To spend with us in common The hours of this year's clock.

Do not begin by saying, "My heart is full of fear."

Let's all begin by praying, "God be with us this year."

F. E: M. '25 VALEDICTORY. Fellow Christians. Those of you who were present last year at the graduation exercises, will remember that the President of the Senior class in his valedictory showed us that this institution is justly a separate one. He showed ' us that this institution is different from the Public School, in which the students are merely required to follow a prescribed course of study and are taught how to impart the knowledge so gained to others, but that in our institution everything is taught by Christian teachers and in the light

n. !M. L.

C. MEISBENGEIR

of the Gospel and is, therefore, put into the proper relation to all other things in accordance with the Word of God; and again, the students are taught how to impart this knowledge in the same light of the Gospel in which it has been taught them.

We, the class of 19~2, are now about to leave this institution and to become teachers of our parochial schools.

We full well realize that we are taking a difficult and responsible call upon ourselves. Our parochial schools have to contend with much opposition. Our national and state governments, constantly being nagged by radicals, have already in several states taken active opposition to our schools. The people of the sectarian churches look upon them as unpatriotic. The Masonic Lodge is trying with all its power to shatter them. If we look upon this opposition more closely, we shall indeed find it dangerous to our schools and difficult to contend with.

The greatest danger, however, is the indifference that has shut the eyes of many Lutherans against the high value of our schools, both for time and eternity. This will be clearly seen when. we compare the increase of membership of the Synodical Conference with the decrease in number of school children for the same space of time. The membership of the Synodical Conference has about doubled itself within the past thirty years, while the number of school children has decreased by 5,000. Again, the Synodical Conference has established some fifteen institutions for the preparation of students for the ministry and but three for those who wish to become teachers in our parochial schools.

According to all :human reas,oning,. therefore, we, who are now to take an active part in this battle for the parochial school, shall be fighting a losing fight. And yet we despair not! Indeed not! For He, who has given us the command, "Go ye, and teach all nations," has significantly added, "And )0, I am with y vu always, even unto the end of the world." We may, therefore, in spite of all opposition and appearance to the contrary, joyously speak with Luther: "With might of ours can naught be done, Soon were our loss effected; But for us fights the Valiant one, Whom God himself elected.

Ask ye, Who is this?

Jesus Christ, it is, Of Sabaoth Lord, And there's none other God,He holds the field forever."

And these words of Luther speak the thoughts of our

hearts this day; they signify the spirit in which we shall begin and hope to continue our work.

In conclusion we bid you, fellow students, a hearty farewell and extend to the Juniors our heartfelt gratitude for the beautiful decoration of the chapel. From you, dear faculty, we must also part. Until now, we have been under your able guidance. Although we did not always definitely see your aim, we now realize that it has always been for our good. For this and all other favors, we wish to express our sincere gratitude.

May God ever bless you! Farewell!

HOW ROLAND FOUND THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. One evening in autumn a band of robbers comprised of Jimmy Donothing, Tom Poker, Bob Flinch and Jack Dice were assembled in a hut located in the slums of New York City. A plan of robbing the home of the wealthy Mr. Van Brunt was being discussed. Bob Flinch, the leader of the gang. arose and said, "Roland, my son, has reached his fiftconth year. .He shall be our scout on this trip. I intend to have him follow my footsteps some day." .

Roland's mother had died while he was still an infant.

His companions were vulgar and so it was perfectly natural for him to look forward to a life of thievery and crime without any pangs of conscience.

The night of the robbery arrived. A forlorn creature was prowling about in the alleys. Leaving them and walkinv around a curb he was struck by a car, the owner of which was Dr. Pairot who had been summoned to the Norwozian Lutheran Hospital.

Roland. whose right leg had been broken, was taken to the hospital and there he received snecial attention.

He remained delirious for a long time, during which he told tho nlans of his father.

Police Headquarters were notified immediately.

Detectives were sent out and after a day's search the band was found and put into ths penitentiary, where they had to serve a sentence of twenty-five years.

Week after week passed. Roland slowly regained his f't-路ength. During this time Rev. Parker visited with him daily and the kind minister soon won Roland's love. After he had recovered Mr. Parker said, "Roland, I haven't any son, If I take you home to Jive with me could you adopt me as your father?"

Roland's joy was exoressed by a stream of flowing tears.

He attended the Parochial School. Through diligent studying he was able after two years to kneel at the altar on Palm Sunday and confess his faith in the Triune God. Having the ambition to become a minister his foster par-

ents then sent him to college. At school he soon won many friends. The teachers also loved this quiet and sensible youth. He advanced very rapidly. .

After graduation he went to the penitentiary to have hIS father released. He just arrived in time. Bob Flinch was lying on his death-bed. Roland diligently applied himself in instructing his father.

Several days later the happy man after partaking of the Lord's Supper commended his soul into the care of Jesus, his Savior.

How wonderously Roland and his father found the Light Of The World. Let us hope that everybody will sooner or later understand and believe this Bible Passage. "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."

EIN SCHIFFSJUNGE

AUF DER HANSA.

Hans Stoll wohnte in einem kleinen Dorfe an der Kueste. der Nordsee. Er war der einzige Sohn einer arm en Witwe, deren Gatte in einem heftigen Sturme auf dem Meere umgekommen war. Hans lebte mit seiner Mutter in einem alten Schiffe, das ans Land gezogen und so ausgebessert und eingerichtet war, dass es als Wohnung benutzt werden konnte.

Obwohl er noch jung war, tat er, was er konnte, urn Nahrung zu verschaffen. Hierin wurde er von den anderen Leuten des Dorfes, die den aermlichen Zustand der Beiden kannten, hilfreich unterstuetzt. So lebten sie im Frieden in ihrer Huette, und Hans wuchs ZUIn tuechtigen Juengling heran.

Die Seeleute des Dorfes nahmen ihn des oefteren auf kurze Fahrten mit, und so lernte er das Seewesen nach allen Seit en hin kennen.

E:'lC3 Taves ankerte ein grosser Dreimaster in dam kleinen Dorfhafen.

Der Kapitaen des Schiffes kam in das Dorf und fragte urn Maenner, die eine Nordpolarfahrt mitmachen wollten. Wie er angab, sollte die Reise inncrhalb einiger Tage beginnen. Sie sollte den Plan verfolgen, an der ostgroenlaendischen Kueste nach Norden vorzudringen.

Hans lief, sobald er von dem Manne ho irte, zur Mutter und meldete ihr die Sache. Der Kapitaen war ihm sogar auf dem Wege b sgegnet und hatte ihn gef'ragt, ob er nicht als Schiff'sjunze mitgehen wollte. Dieses lec te er nun der Mutter vor. Die Mutter empfan.] leider mit Schmerzen, -dass Hans allzuviel Lust zum Seewesen hatte.

Sein Vater hatt-i schon sein Grab im Meere gefunden, und nun wuerde soin Sohn ihm vielleicht nachfolgen-das waere ihr zu viel. Doch was soll er sonst tun? Sie muss sich darein .findsn. So kam es denn, dass, als das Schiff abfuhr, Hans sich unter den viel beweinten Abscheidenden befand.

Schnell fuhr das Schiff durch die Wellen nach dem Norden, und fast schien es unserm Hans, als ob die Fahrt gelingen sollte. Aber er wurde von dem Kapitaen belehrt, dass sie noch viele und grosse Gefahren vor sich haetten.

Dieses zeigte sich auch bald. Als die Hansa, denn das war der Name, den das Schiff trug, den fuenfundsiebzigsten Breitengrad erreichte, traten dichte Nebel auf. Als diese sich verzogen hatten, bemerkten die Schiffer, dass sie tief ins EiC; geraten waren. AIle Versuche, daraus zu entrinnen, waren fruchtlos. Jetzt erst wurden dem Hans die Gefahren der See klar, und er sehnte sich nach Hause. Doch hier war kein Entrinnen, er musste mitmachen.

Bald war das Schiff in dem Eise festgefroren, und die Bemannung musste ihre Lebensmittel in Sicherheit bringen, denn das Schiff stand in Gefahr, gaenzlich zerquetscht zu werden. Aus den Kohlen wurde mit der Hilfe von Schnee auf' dern Eisfelde ein Haus errichtet.

Dort hinein wurde der ganz.e Vorrat geschafft, und nun warteten sie, was geschehen wuerde.

Unter der Wucht des herandringenden Eises barst die Hansa, und bald versank sie in die 'TIefen des Meeres. Hilflos standen die Seeleute nun da, doch verzagten sie keineswegs. Sie rechneten darauf, dass das langsam nach Sueden treibende Eis sie in eine Gegend bringen wuerde, wo Rettung moeglich sei. .

Hans, der dieses alles mit bangern Herzen erlebt hatte, dachte nun zurueck an seine Mutter, die zu Hause allein in ihrer Huette wohnte and taeglich Gebete fuer ihn zum Himmel schickte. Fern von allen Menschen, fern von jeder Rettung sch er einen Tag wie den andern vergehen.

Das Treiben nach Sueden ging nur langsam vorwaerts.

Drei Boote waren aus der Hansa gerettet worden, und in diesen hofften die Schiffer sich zu ret ten, sollte die Eisscholle, auf der sie waren, zerbrechen.

Diese Boote waren stets segelfertig und gut mit Proviant versehen.

Jetzt sollte sich auch eine Aenderung in der Lage der Schiffbruechigen zeigen. Die Scholle, auf del' sie waren, geriet in offenes Wasser, und da Land in Sicht war, beschlossen sie, in den drei Booten abzuschiffen. Trotz manch=r Hindernisse und Stuerme gelang die Fahrt.

Nach mehreren Tagen naeherten sie sich dem Lande, wo sie von deutschen Landsleuten bewirtet wurden. Kurze Zeit darauf traten sie ihre Rueckkehr nach Europa an'.

Mit Freuden empfing die Mutter ihren Hans; denn obwohl die Fahrt nicht gelungen war, so war sie doch froh, dass Gott ihr Gebet erhoert hatte, und ihr Sohn wieder gesund zu Hause war.

EDITORIALS The re-opening of the school year marks a new term in the editing of the "Messenger."

May God give success to the undertaking, as He has done in the past.

When the "Messenger" with this issue begins a new year of its existence, it can with almost entire satisfaction look back upon the work of preceding years. The privilege of editing the "Messenger" has for twelve years been a real joy to the different editors and they have never lacked support from the student body, the alumni and other readers.

We, the new editorial staff, value this spirit of friendship as one of our greatest assets. We have a great proposition before us but we do not despair, for many of our readers know of the obstacles we have to contend with and are willing to go out of their way to help the "Messenger" and to bring more friends to it.

BACK ONCE MORE. Back once more! Yes, fellow students, I believe you all know what I mean. We are all assembled once more at our dear old Dr. Martin Luther College. The hells are

ringing. Think! Are they ringing only to keep up the routine?

No! Every student should feel in his heart that they are also ringing to make us feel happy. Why? That is not a difficult question to answer. Have you not all this feeling, "Oh, I could never give up 'college' now!"

Back once more! Why are we back once more? Yes, certainly, to study, to learn. But, why should we learn?

Do we wish to learn so that we may sit around when we are of age and live from what we know without using that knowledge? No! VIleare learning that we may use that knowledge, which we obtain by so doing, in the interests of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, if it please Him to allow us to do so. .

When we returned this year, we found altered conditions.

Five boys had to be put in almost every. room in the Boys' Dormitory to provide room for most of them to live. The attic of Hillcrest Hall must needs be fitted out to provide room for ten young ladies. In morning devotion, almost every seat is taken. Why these condition? Because God has let people realize more and more that the public schools are unable to train a generation, which is morally sound.

He has also gradually convinced them that a Christian dayschool or a Christian college is the one and only place" where their children are not only prepared for this life but also for the life hereafter, a place, where His Word is taught in all its truth and purity. "j This .is a part of His blessing. Let us pray for another, that this may be the most successful and prosperous school year in the history of His schools, especially that of Dr. Martin Luther College.

P. R. R. '23.

STRIKES. Strikes! It is hardly necessary to try to define this word at all, since it is used so often at the present time that all people are more or less acquainted with it. A strike is a concerted withdrawal from work by a group or several groups of workmen in order to enforce a demand initiated by themselves, or to resist a demand proposed by their employer or employers.

Next, the question may arise, is a strike legal? Nine times out of ten you would receive the answer yes, and according to the Federal Law of the United States a strike is legal, as long as there is no rioting or no destroying of property. But let us go directly to the Bible and see what Scripture has to say about strikes or the like. In the sixth

10

TiRE D. M. IL. C. IM>EiSSIEiNrGER

chapter of the Epistle of Paul to the Ephesians, verses 5-8 inclusive, we read as follows: "Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with' fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; not with eyeservice, as men pleasers : but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men; knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free." Not only does he admonish the servants, but also the master.

For in the same chapter we read in verse 9: "And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, .forbearing threatening: knowing that your master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him." Oh! how beautiful it would he in this world if only both servants and masters would live up to these words. Strikes may not be against the law of the land, but these' two passages make it clear that they are against the will of God. Does this not show that the world of today does not care for God's word? . Does it not show that the worldly people never consult the Bible in order to find out in what relationship they should stand toward their neighbors and their God, and to know that on the Judgement Day they must answer for all the things that they have committed on this earth?

Surely, .no one could make it any clearer, But, since there were strikes and one is even .now in progress, who then is to be blamed for this? Using Luther as a teacher, we will try to show this. At the time when Luther was persecuted by all the countries of Europe, the peasants of Germany revolted. As soon as Luther heard of this, he immediately admonished both princes and peasants. But now, some people may say that a revolt is not a strike. But one who says this has a very false idea, because a strike and a revolt are nearly the same things, only in a revolt the people rebel against the government, whereas in a strike, the employees rebel against the employers.

According to Luther, all Christians must say that the strikers are not obeying God's word. They are to some extent the cause of the hard times that now exist in many parts 'of the United States; for their sins God must punish the whole United States. They are the ones who send more than one man to the poor house; they are the ones who have transgressed the fifth commandment. - But not' only are the Employees to blame, but just as much the employers.

They, again, have forced the working men to strike by not treating them as human beings should be treated, by not paying them enough to support their families, they forced them to strike, because they would only let them work so many days out of a year, thus not giving them opportunity

to. properly provide far themselves and far their .families.

May Gad grant that by reading his Ward, the employees and employers may came to. a fair agreement and thus end the strike, which only helps to. bring ruin to. a nation and damnation to. many souls.

M. F. '24.

OUR GOAL. Nearly every person has his particular Goal, from the mast educated person to the tramp. A tramp, he should have a gaal? Yes, his goal is to knack his way through the world without working. So. we may go. through all the professions and find that everyone has a definite aim.

Now, what is our aim? Is it to become educated so. that we do. nat have to work so. hard as our fathers or grandfathers did? Is it to. make ourselves famous among the children of this world, or to became rich? By no means!

Gad tells us Matthew 16, 26, "What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whale world, and lase his awn saul?" Our goal is to. became teachers and preachers of the Gospel of Christ.

"This does nat seem to. be such a difficult task. I do. nat understand why teachers and preachers have to. study so lang. I have only finished the eighth grade and am earning twice as much as most teachers and preachers." This is the opinion of many people.

Let us look a little below the surface. How lang does a doctor have to study? If I am nat mistaken, it is about seven years after he has finished his high school course.

If it takes so.long to. study the care of the body, do. you nat think we ought to. study the care of the soul just as lang if nat longer? Is not the saul worth more to. us than the body? A person with an unhealthy body can enter heaven, but not so. with a person who. has a corrupt soul. Therefore, let us not grumble about these few years of industrious work which we must sacrifice. We shall never regret it.

To.preach the Gospel is our goal, Can we expect the worldling to revere us? Indeed nat! On the contrary, we may expect to be despised, yes, even persecuted by him. The worldling does not want to know anything of Christ. Christ does not allow him to partake of the lusts of this world.

When we think of all these things which we shall have to experience saane~ ar later, we might become discouraged in our undertaking, But then let us nat forget what Gad promises us Psalm 50, 15, "Call upon me in the day of trouble : I will deliver thee." Then let the world despise us. We shall preach. Christ and His Gospel nevertheless.

Christ will reward us in heaven.

The Alumni Association of D. M. L. College met in the recitation building of the college, June 13, 1922.

The object of the association is to keep alive an interest in its dear Alma Mater. The best way to keep alive an interest in anything is to pitch in.and take part in the work, therefore, join the Alumni and read the "Messenger."

A resolution was passed that anyone paying his membership fee of one dollar and an additional fifty cents would at the same time become a subscriber to the "Messenger" for one year.

The treasurer's report showed a balance of $31.70. A resolution was passed to donate fifty percent of this balance to the college library for reference books.

Address your checks to Theo. Metz, Treasurer, Granada, Minnesota.

It may be of interest to know that the two U. P. special trains, carrying 500 Walther Leaguers to the Yellowstone Park, had on board many graduates of D. M. L. C. Among the alumni of this institution to be married during the past summer were The Reverends H. Lau. of Altamont, South Dakota, and R. H. Vollmers, of Boyd, Minn.

They are members of the classes of '15 and '13 respectively.

Rev. Paul Spaude, '15, of Mason City, Iowa, has recentlyaccepted a call to Lake Benton, Minn. Rev. Spaude is a graduate of the normal department of D. M. L. C., finishing his studies at the Western Theological Seminary, Winfield, Kansas, and later at the Universities of Chicago and Iowa.

EXCHANCE If it still be necessary to do so, the "Messenger" once more welcomes all college papers which have made their appearance here. We hope that all criticisms may be given and received in a right, friendly spirit, by constantly keeping in mind that no publication can be perfect.

Among the exchanges of last June are "The Pharos," "The Black and Red," "The Trumpet," and "The Augsburg Echo."

"The Augsburg Echo" appeals to the eye. Its neat gray cover with a tinge of red gives it a cheerful look. Nevertheless, we must mention that the words on the cover are not placed quite correctly.

On the opening page you advertise your school. Following this, however, are several pages of other advertisements. Allow us to suggest that they be put in the real' or in some other place where they are not quite so conspicuous, so that one may at once become interested in your paper and your school.

Your openingnumber is entitled "Commencement,"which is an interesting word for every student. Under it are listed such topics as "CollegeValedictory," "Academy Valedictory," "The Crises of Life," and others.

'DHE D. M. lL. C. M,EiS!SE:NGER

The "College Valedictory" is well written and contains many truly Christian thoughts. Those who have separated from their fellowstudents at a commencement can well understand the feeling of the author at this moment and must say that it is well expressed. It also tells us of the various fields of work that lie in wait of our attention and of the great responsibility everyone ought to feel in taking up his calling. Your motto is "Courage, Loyalty, and Truth" and you have well explained how you stand toward this motto and what it means to a student of a Christian school. The "Academy Farewell Address" . is also well written and warmly expresses the relation which apparently exists between Augsburg and her students.

The "Crises of Life" carries out the various kinds of choice that young people may make in life, a choice for the pleasures, wealth, and ease of this life or a choice according to the demand of our God. The author gives various examples, such as Moses, Nineveh, and Lincoln. He tries to show how, particularly at the termination of college years, every student must decide. In general, his topic is well carried out, but contains a few grammatical mistakes.

The outstanding literary number, of course, is that which is entitled "The Larger Vision," which we naturally take for the commencement address.

We admire the original way of announcing your columns, -"Sharps and Flats." The .history of A. C. B. is most interesting and holds fast the. reader by its vigorous style.

We regret that we cannot go beyond this but must leave the rest for those who have a command of the Norwegian language.

"The Augsburg Echo" may rest assured that it is ever welcome here.

During the course of the summer, many improvements were made at our institution. Firstly, a new coat of paint was applied to all the rooms on the fourth floor and to' all the bedrooms on the other floors of the Dormitory; secondly, one screen was placed in every room in order to keep the mosquitoes from molesting us during study time; thirdly, the tennis courts, which the students had begun to put into condition last spring, were also completed; fourthly, a fireescape was attached to the Recitation Hall, in order to offer opportunity for escape in case of fire; fifthly, new desks had to be installed' in several rooms of the Recitation Hall, because of the increased number of students.

We have now returned from our vacation, and athletics must again receive due attention. As football is not allowed, many boys have been devoting their time to baseball and tennis.

The Eleventh Grade has organized a "nine" which has played against the "town-boys" in several games. Other boys, who are also interested in this sport, have formed a team. A few games have been played against "scrubs."

Others, who are not enthusiastic about baseball, find good exercise in 'tennis. Two new courts were started before school closed,but were completedduring vacation. Another addition is the back-stops. These new courts, which are in good condition, see no rest. For the number of students attending D. M. L. C., there are not enough courts to give every enthusiast an opportunity to play.

It being too early in the season, basketball is not thought of as yet.

P. Spalding carries the title of athletic secretary and treasurer.

THE

D. M. L. C. MESSENGER

OUT OF THE DARKNESS COMETH A LIGHT In Bethlehem, one starry night, A little child was born, And there began to shine a light Upon another morn.

The world had long in darkness lain, And doubt had long' held sway; For men of oIl had hoped in vain That soon would break the day.

Since Adam's fall and Eve's distress, Milleniums had passed, And still, in sin and helplessness, Humanity was cast. ;

This little child so tender, mild, To light the way had come Fnr Gentile, Jew, for heathen wild, To lead them to His home.

Upon a bed of straw He laySo lowly was His birth.

Could He from heaven have come away To rule o'er all the earth?

'Tis He{ For angels from on high Proclaim his humble state; To shepherds tending flocks near by Theil' joyous tale relate.

"Oh, go ye shepherds!

See the child In swaddling clothes enwound, 'With Mary, virgin mother, mila And in a manger found."

THE D. :M. L. C. MESSENGER

And, praising God, the heavenly host A song of glory sang; And far and wide, from coast to coast The angelic echoes rang. .

Though full of fear and joy and love, The wandering shepherds came And, glorifying God above, Sang praises to His name ..

"All glory," let us also sing, "To God," with one accord Who peace on earth, good will did bring Through Christ, His Son, our Lord.

A. K. '23.

PATIENCE REWARDED "Peace on earth, good will toward men."

These were the last words Missionary Rendal spoke to the Arabian Jews in Mecca where he had been working.

He had just finished telling the beautiful story of Christ's birth, and was now taking leave for Azir where he would again deliver the Christmas message the next day.

It .was a twelve hour journey from Mecca to Azir, and since it was so hot on the desert during the day, people traveled during the night. Missionary Rendal was accompanied by a guide and three Jewish Converts.

It was a beautiful evening on the desert. All was calm and peaceful. One by one the twinkling stars made their appearance in the sky. The only sound that could be heard , was the tread of the camel's feet upon the sand and here and there an occasional remark from the drivers.

Missionary Rendal was deep in thought.

"What¡ have I accomplished here in Arabia, for the Lord," he asked himself. The work seemed all in vain.

No sooner had he left a village thinking it could now take care of itself, when the Mohammedans would rush in and destroy all hopes. Such had been the case at Mecca and it had taken many months of hard work to bring the hearts -of the people back to Christ. How would he find Azir?

Fear crept into his heart.

Suddenly, the silence was broken by the appearance of six white-robed men coming toward them on camels.

Before any suppositions could be made, the strangers were upon them. One of the robed men brought his camel to a standstill by the side of Missionary Renda!. But what

â&#x20AC;˘

THE D. M. L. C. MEBS,ENGE;R

was he saying? Missionary Rendal and the Jews looked at each other, but no one could interpret the low numbling words of the robed man.

Suddenly, as if impatient, he jerked the reins of Missionary Rendal's camel, and tied them to his .. Four other robed men treated the Jews and the guide in the same manner. With one word of command the camels were forced to trot as fast as they could on a trail unknown to Missionary Rendal.

What could this mean ? Were these men hostile Mohammedans who were seeking his life? A cold shiver crept down his spine at the thought.

He glanced upward.

There brightly shining in the eastern heavens was the same star that had led the shepherds and the wise men to Bethlehem. It seemed to say comfortingly, "Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people."

His thoughts were interrupted by the camels' slackening their pace. They. were approaching a group of Arabic tents. The camels were brought to a halt and made to kneel to let the occupants 'descend.

One of the robed men beckoned to Missionary Rendal to follow him into a tent. In a corner of the tent, lay a man pale and still on a bed made of a few blankets. Missionar Rendal immediately recognized him as a Jew from Azir. Quickly kneeling beside the sick man, he asked, "Did you want me?"

"Yes, I am dying. Oh! tell me, how can I be saved?"

"God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

"I do believe in Jesus Christ, but what else must I do?

I have sinned much."

"Our Savior Jesus Christ gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from all iniquity. Only believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved."

"I believe," whispered the dying man.

As the sun came above the horizon that Christmas mo-ning, 1'0 also did the soul of this dying man leave the sinful world.

Missionary Rendal fell on his knees, praised and thanked God. For what greater Christmas gift could he have received? He now knew his work was not vain, for he had seen another poor Jew go to the open outstretched arms of J 2SUS and enter the everlasting kingdom of God.

DER HEILAND 1ST GEBOREN. Ein armer Hirtenknabe weidete in dunkler Nacht seine Schafe auf den Feldern zu Bethlehem. Alles war still und friedlich urn ihn her. Seine Schafe lagen in suesser Ruh zu seinen Fuessen, und von den anderen Teilen der Weide hoerte er das Summen seiner Kameraden, die durch das Singen der Lieder vcrsuchten, sich die Arbeit angenehmer zu machen. Und ueber ihnen blinkten die Sterne am Himmel, als ob sie sich freuten ueber den stillen Frieden, del' ueber diesem Felde herrschte.

Natuerlich war bei dieser feierlichen Stille del' Geist des Knaben besonders taetig, und in diesel' Nacht, da alles mit Frieden umgeben zu sein schien, wandten sich seine Gedanken zu Gott und goettlichen Sachen. Er dachte ueber das nach,- was seine Mutter ihm oft erzaehlt hatte von dem Kommen eines Heilandes, del' Israel erloesen und den rechten Sabbat stiften wuerde, an dem die Juden ruhen koennten von den schweren Diensten, welche sie jetzt V3rpflichtet waren zu leist m Er sehnte sich nach der Zeit, in welcher sie nicht mehr durch Priester sich Gott naehern wuerden, sondern selber getrost VOl'Gott treten und gewiss sein koennten, dass er sie annehmen wuerde urn seines Sohnes willen. Und er schaute zum Himmel und seufzte: "Wenn ich doch nur leben koennte, bis der Heiland kaeme, und ich ihn sehen wuerde!"

Nun wandte er sich urn und ging zur anderen Seite des Feldes, wo sich die Hirten versammelt hatten. Er fand sie in traulichem Gespraech mit einander begriffen und lehnte sich an seinen Stab, urn zuzuhoeren. Waehrend sie nun so beisammen sassen, siehe, da ward es auf einmal licht urn sie her, und der Engel des Herrn trat zu ihnen, und sie erschraken sehr. Und was 'war es, das der Engel sprach? "'Fuerchtet euch nicht," sagte er, "siehe, ich verkuendige <euchgrosse Freude, die allem Yolk widerfahren wird; denn .euch ist haute der Heiland geboren, welcher ist Christus, der Herr in der Stadt Davids." Und alsbald hoerten die .Hirten eine grosse Menge der himmlischen Heerscharen -Gott loben und sprechen : "Ehre sei Gott in der Hoehe, und Friede auf Erden, und den Menschen ein Wohlgefallen."

Alsdann fuhren die Engel wieder gen Himmel.

Verwundert standan die Hirten da und konnten for Iauter Erstaunen nicht sprechen. Endlich rief del' Knabe .sehnsuechtig aus: "Lasst uns gehen nach Bethlehem und -das Kindlein sehen!" Und sie gingen nach Bethlehem und fanden in einem Stalle Maria und Joseph und das Kind in einer Krippe. Mit heiliger Scheu knieten sie vor ihm nie-der und beteten es an. Auch der Knabe kniete demuetig

7

vor der Krippe nieder und betete zu dem Kindlein, seinem Heilande. Und er glaubte gewiss, dass dieses Kind, jetzt so arm und klein, auch ihn annehmen wuerde, wenn es in seine Herrlichkeit einziehen wuerde.

Da sie nun den Heiland gesehen hatten, verbreiteten sie das Wort des Engels, und alle, die es hoerten, wunderten sich ueber ihre Rede. Die Hirten aber kehrten wieder um und priesen und lobten Gott, dass er nun endlich seine Verheissung erfuellt und Israel einen Heiland, einen Erloeser, gesandt hatte.

Auch das Herz des Knaben was voll Lobes und Dankes gegen Gott, der ihn den Heiland ha tte sehen lassen. Er eilte heim zu seiner Mutter und verkuendigte ihr: "Der Heiland ist geboren!" und erzaehlte ihr alles, was ihm widerfahren war. Und seine Mutter glaubts den Worten des Knaben und ward mit goettlicher Freude erfuellt. Nun war ihr hoechstes Sehnen gestillt, nun konnte sie in Frieden fahren, denn - der Heiland war geboren!

IF WINT'ER COMES "Oh Flower of Fall! Dost still on hillsides grow To bid adieu to friends of warmer days, Though cold the winds that sway thee to and fro?

If Winter comes, canst hide thyself away?"

The squirrels with nuts fill up their winter's stores, And little hills betray the homes of moles; The fishes in the brooks seek warmer. shores.

If Winter comes, will foxes find their holes?

On stubble fields, where stately shocks of corn, Like sombre spirits, rustle rustic wands, The golden pumpkins greet the frosty morn.

If Winter comes, will still- they grace the lands?

On meadows gray the herds are grazing, though Long since the grasses there have withered lain.

Where once the grain grew tall, there feeds the crow.

If Winter comes, what then will be their gain?

The trees have 10S'ttheir colors gay and bright, And feathered flocks long since have ceased to stay.

All nature sleeps, and in the dead of night, If Winter comes, will Hope too flyaway?

"Ah Hope! How art thou disinclined to leave!

Thou art as sunshine bright is to the day.

Earth's charms are lost; thou bids't us, 'Do not grieve;, If Winter comes, can Spring be far away?' " A, K. '23.

'DHE D. M. L. C. MESSENGER

A DESERTER It was a bright morning and all was astir in the little village of Saunterby, situated in the Katskill mountains.

A group of its residents had gathered themselves around the post office to wait for the "mornin's paper." Basil Saunders, the village blacksmith, took his paper and sat down on the post office step's "to read the paper and take a smoke," as he used to say. He opened the paper and the first item that met his eye was the large print, "Lusitania - sunk by Germans."

"Lookit here, what the dirty Germans went and done; . sunk a U. S. liner!" he exclaimed. In no time he had the whole village excited over the affair.

Soon the papers were full of the horrors of war and bloodshed and at last the climax came-war was declared.

The call for volunteers went far and wide and several of Basil's friends answered the call. They asked him to join with them, but he always excused himself in some way or other. .

At last June 5, 1917, the first registration day, dawned. All the young men in and around Saunterby gathered at the bank to register. About ten minutes before six, just before the bank closed, Basil with slow and faltering steps went to register.

"Well, Basil, where have you been all day? Too busy to come?" the banker inquired.

"Yes, sir, I've had my forge going full blast all day and could work till midnight, but I had to take time to register. This is a foolish business. I don't see why the innocent boys have to lose their lives on the battlefield for the sake of those aristocrats who lost their lives on that boat," Basil answered, in deep disgust . .The banker said nothing, but after Basil left the bank he turned to the other men and said, "I'm disappointed in that boy. I thought he would be one of Saunterby's best Americans."

Early the next morning as he was going to work. he met his friend, Wilbur Mason, with a newspaper in hand.

"Here we are all listed and I see you are the last one at that. I'm ready to go to-morrow if they will call me.

You too?"

Basil looked at his friend and then at the paper and .answered in a half-swallowed tone, "Maybe, if I had to."

The country was calling her men daily, and Saunterby was not to be forgotten.

One morning Wilbur entered Basil's shop, his face aglow with excitement and an open letter in his hand.

"See, I've got orders to go to Cranton on Wednesday

THE

for examination. Hope I pass as I am just dying to get a whack at those Germans." Basil only looked at him and, pretending to be very busy, answered, "I hope you'll like it after you get there."

"Don't worry, I will," .and with that he left the shop just in time to meet Basil's sister at the door. "Wanta see what I got? Just look! I have to go to Cranton Wednesday for an examination. Oh girlie, I'm glad!"

"Of all things, Wilbur! It seems as though you have to leave before any of the rest. Poor Basil will miss you so.. I know he would just give anything if he could go with you. He surely will go too because he has nothing to keep him except his business, and then our brother-in-law could come and take it over. He will do anything for us and he won't have to go, for he didn't have to register.

Basil had quit working and was listening to his sister's words. If he could only feel as she was imagining him! Yes, he would like to go with Wilbur but-his sister was shaking him by the shoulder.

"Basil, what is the matter?

Don't feel so bad that Wilbur has to go. You will get your chance too."

"Yes, cheer up," Wilbur interrupted.

"I must be going." He went out, and on his way to work he. said to himself, "Basil would be an ideal soldier if he only had the spirit that Betty thinks he has."

"Don't you want to read the letter I got from Jack T" Betty inquired of Basil. "He has arrived at Camp Cody.

He says it's a great life and wishes you could be with him.

He wants me to join the Red Cross or the Y. W. C. A., and come down there. Wouldn't that be great? I would get to see him, and if you would be there, it would be still better. We would never get homesick for each other as we did when I went to Aunt Betty's in Buffalo. Here, read this letter. It's a great big long one."

"I haven't time now. I'll read it when I come home for dinner. You had ibetter go home and get dinner as' I want it early to-day."

"Just listen. Ever since I got this letter I've been planning on what I'm going to do. After you go to Campwhat's the matter?"

"Nothing. Go on with your story."

"After you go to camp, sister Lottie and Ben will come to keep the shop ageing, and they can live in our house.

Then I will enlist as nurse and start training at once in one of the camps-Camp Cody, of course, is preferable.

I'm going to write to Lottie to-day and ask her about it. I think I had better go home and get dinner now."

10

TiRE D. M. a, C. ,MiEiSSrE\NIGER

She put on her sunbonnet and left the shop, singing a lively little tune.

At dinner Betty continued her talk on her plans and the letter she had written to Lottie. "Basil, you're so quiet these last few days that I don't know what to think of you," she said as she gathered up the dishes.

"The less you know, the better."

On Wednesday morning, Wilbur came to Basil to talk over some business matter with him. He saw that a great change had come over Basil, but he had not the courage to ask what the trouble was, although he had an idea of what it might be.

In the evening when Wilbur returned, he met Betty and Basil.

"I've passed and will leave for camp within a few .weeks !" he exclaimed. ' "Good for you, Wilbur!" Betty replied.

The three walked to the post office for the mail. Betty stood at the window and waited while the mail was being distributed. The last letter was for Basil.

"Basil, here's a letter for you. I bet you can't guess where it's from?"

Basil slowly opened it. It was a notice to appear at Cranton Thursday. The next two weeks seemed like a few days. Lottie and Ben came to take charge of the shop and Betty busied herself in getting ready to say "good-bye" to Saunterby. On September first, she with four other girls and Basil and Wilbur boarded the train amid the cheering and farewells of the people. How happy Betty was, and, best of all, she was going to Camp Cody to work in the Y. W. C. A. quarters.

After the arrival at camp, brother and sister were separated.

Betty was more than pleased with her work, but Basil was utterly disgusted with camp life. Half of the time he was on extra duty on account of his disobedience.

The last time he saw Betty he said to her, "I'd give a million to get out of here. It's worse than a prison." When he left her he said, "Be a good little girl and do your duty.

Good-bye, little sister."

Betty wondered at 'her brother's queer farewell and it was not until some time later that she understood it. It was just a week before Christmas. She was talking with the others about the folks at home and the Christmas pres-ents ,she was going to send them. All at once she exclaimed, "Do you realize I haven't heard from Basil since Nov路ember. If I don't hear from him, I'll 'go out to see him Sunday."

Sunday afternoon Betty hired a car to take her out

THE

D. M. L. C. ,ME,SIS,ENGER

11

to Basil's Company. As she stepped out of the car, Basil's friend came to meet her, but not with his 'usual smile.

"Miss Betty, I have some sad news for you. Your brother escaped from camp during the night. As yet no trace of him has been found."

"Basil escaped? How can it be possible?" She burst into tears and asked if she might go into his tent and look at his belongings. The first thing she picked up was his writing pad. On it was written, "Don't tell Betty. It will break her heart and bring disgrace upon her." She tore out this sheet, put it into her purse and ordered the driver to take her back. Day after day she waited for news 'of Basil, but in vain. What she did hear was no. consolation.

Detectives with a small band of soldiers had set out in search of him.

It was a little past midnight as Basil slipped by the guards and hurried to a small town where he boarded a train that took him northward.

Travelling mostly by night, he tramped through the country until he finally reached the Rocky Mountains. He endured some of the bitterest hardships.

Often he had no food for two days and had to sleep in the cold, open air, sometimes finding shelter behind a projecting rock or under a pine-tree. One evening he entered a farm-house and stole a pair of overalls and a jacket. These not only helped him cover his uniform but also gave him protection against the cold. Early the next morning he begged his breakfast at another farmhouse. There he slept in the barn until noon, and after a good dinner, he again hurried on his way. At a small village he stole a horse. With this he could travel much faster, but the horse could not live without food, so he left him at a farm-house one night and set out on foot again. One evening he boarded a freight train. He learned that he was near the Canadian border. Now an idea struck him; he would go to Canada, and then he would be out of the, hands of the United States authorities.

Said; done. He crossed the border in safety and found work on a ranch in Alberta. Here he assumed the name John Willis. He had aged ten years in a few months. Even Betty would hardly have recognized him. He never read the papers in the presence of the other men and always avoided them when they talked of the war.

Betty had become a skilled nurse and had gone abroad.

Two months after the Armistice, she returned to America.

A year later Jack returned, and they were married. He was discharged from service, and they moved back to Saunterby, which, during their absence, had undergone a.

great change. How poor Betty cried when she saw the old blacksmith shop.

One day Jack came home for dinner with a letter. His uncle in Alberta wanted him to come out there and work on his ranch. Jack was all taken up with the offer, and soon Betty became enthused over it too. They decided to go, and in September they again bade farewell to Saunterby. Betty was enraptured with the country and her new home, although it was a large, rough ranch house. Jack's aunt was a lovable woman, and with her help Betty soon learned how to manage a ranch house.

Basil had heard of Jack's and Betty's coming to the neighboring ranch, and his curiosity was aroused. When he heard they were from the United States, a deep longing for home came over him. He went to visit them that same evening. He recognized Jack at once but restrained himself. When he saw Betty, he could no longer control himself and cried out, "My little sister Betty!" and rushed to her, but she escaped him and with a stifled cry fled to the side of her husband.

"Betty, don't you know me? I'm your brother Basil."

She recognized him immediately and flew into his arms cry- . ing, "0 my dear brother Basil!"

Thus after years of separation, the ever earnest prayer of Betty, "That I may find Basil again," was answered.

I _":

Thus again the Christmas bells are ringing, proclaiming oe'r all the earth the birth of the Christ child. "Unto you is born this day in the City of David, a Savior, which is Christ, the Lord!" Thus spoke the angel to the shepherds on the field of Bethlehem, and with him joined the heavenly host singing, "Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth, good will toward men."

What is it that makes us so joyful and happy at the approach of Christmas?

Has some great good befallen us or one of our fellows? Has someone been relieved of a great calamity or danger? Christ has come to the earth.

In Him God has shown His great love toward us. He has sent His only Son to deliver us from the bonds of sin and damnation. Is that not good cause for rej oicing ? o that all people would realize this and know the unbounded joy and happiness that fills our hearts at this time; that they would learn to know the work of our great Sav-

ior! And are there any who do not need this Savior? . True, Christ was born in the uttermost poverty. His parents were poor; a stable was their lodging; a manger was the cradle of the Son of God. And yet in that lowly .and meek child lies the wondrous work of God, the salvation of His people. Without that little incident at Bethlehem the whole world would have been lost. But now the Son of God has been brought forward to bring light to this world of sin and ignorance. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Not one sinner is there on earth, and be he fallen even to the mouth of hell, to whom not this message of the angel says, "Unto you, unto you is born this day a Savior!" Let us, therefore, with the shepherds of Bethlehem, rejoice, praise God, and make known abroad the truth which is told concerning this child.

K. F. O. '25.

SUCCESS Many men have become known the world over and are looked up to as successful people. They did not leap over difficulties, but had to carefully and laboriously wade through them. The politician does not gain his honors in one day. He must meet with defeat and repeated defeat.

Some of our greatest men were poor people,but they worked; they were not discourag-edwhen trouble came. The fruit of this was a successful career, a success in life.

Some business men are not always successful in their work, while others are. What is it that makes them and their work successful? Most people want prompt service.

They want the business man to be punctual, faithful, and honest. This helps men and their work to be a success. But all this does not suffice. He must have courage to face .and to tackle all obstacles that would block his way.

When a young minister or teacher goes out to begin his life's work, many difficulties confront him. He does not receive a salary like that of people of some other occupation. He will meet people who do not see the necessity 'of a church and school. Not only the people work against him, but, in some instances, also the state. This often dis'heartens a conscientious minister or teacher. But this 'should not discourage him, for God said that where His Word is preached, there shall success be forthcoming. God promised Joshua that the preaching of the Word would bring great fruits. God's promise should serve to encour.age the workers who are oppressed by people and state.

Take, for instance, Martin Luther, the great reformer.

Was he successful in his work? We know that he was. But what great hardships did he have to live through? He was condemned by the pope; anybody could kill him, but he trusted in the Lord and that meant success for him. This should be a good 'example for those ministers and teachers who have many troubles in their congregations and schools; namely, to trust in the Lord; then their work will have great results.

Let us pray to God that those difficulties and tribulations, which confront the .workers of the Lord, shall not bring discouragement to them, but, through the trust in Him, success.

EXCHANCE Perhaps the fact that I was practically a stranger to exchange notes, or vice versa, may account for it that the.

Hemnica, published by the students of the seminary at Red Wing, Minnesota, took my eye this time. Oh yes! I already knew of it, but now I have become interested in it.

First of all, probably the cover happened to make a different impression upon my mind. This is only because it is so different from most college papers. The background of this is white, but the front cover is almost filled with a scene of the seminary and its surroundings, which illustrates to us the meaning of the word Hemnica; namely, hill, water, wood. After reading this paper, we feel that the students of this institution have much in common with us.

Its first literary number is entitled "The Two Captives." Since it is to be continued, little can be said about it.

What the author has put into the October number, which is the beginning of the story, is highly interesting and makes the reader anxious to know how he will continue with it.

The sad part of it is that the composition contains quite a few forms that are contrary to the rules of English, the omission of subjects, and expressions that are unfitting and not descriptive. The other literary number is perhaps just as interesting, but we cannot .receive its full benefit since it is written in the Norwegian language.

The editorials are well written .. Their author has a fine way of "driving his point home." He wishes to remind all students how necessary it is that each and every student take an active part in his college paper and all associations or organizations which will promote the welfare of his institution.

What is still more interesting is that he does

18

THE D. M. L. C. ME'SSENGER

not say this bluntly, but in an emphatic and forceful manner. This he does by comparing the student with a loyal citizen.

The local and' joke columns could be written in a more effective style. The athletic -columnand that treating of the various societies at the seminary give us a better view of the daily life of these students. Particularly attractive and appropriate is the cut for the column entitled "Societies."

The column entitled "Science and History" contains but one article, which could be much improved. This one article has for its heading "The Present Crisis in t.he Near East." In this, the author gives us an insight into the affairs of Asia Minor. He tells us how each of the Christian nations was to be parceled out as a mandate to the larger nations. Since the United States declined this treaty, Turkey's economicinterests were divided between Italy, France and England. The Turks refused to submit to this treaty, arid Greece renounced the administrators of the treaty; so the allies decided to leave "them to their own fate. First the Greeks were victorious in a war against the Turks.

Later the Turks advanced, but still the two countries could not come to an agreement. The Turks are still prospering in this war. Not only this. Turkey is taking a serious attitude toward Great Britain, and this attitude may cause England trouble with her colonies. France and Russia are assisting Turkey. Great Britain, however, does not wish to weaken Greece. The author believes that only time can decide the matter reliably. He gives us a vivid idea of the conditions that are existing there, but the article lacks much when we consider the connectionof sentences and the smoothness necessary for a good essay.

The next is the story of the alumni. This could well make use of a few remarks here and there, which would make it more interesting.

The "Music Notes" are somewhat out of place as they 'Stand,between the Alumni and the Exchange columns.How would it be to put them closer to the other school notes? for instance, between the Athletic and Society column.

Despite all these minor faults, the Hemnica is highly interesting and is, therefore, always welcome in our collection of exchange papers.

An other exchanges are also much appreciated. Those -that have made their appearance here this fall are the fol.lowing: "The Alma Mater," St. Louis, Mo.; "The Black and Red," Watertown, Wis.; "The Luther Echo," St. Paul, Minn.; "The Augustana Mirror," Sioux Falls, South Dakota; "The Comenian," Bethlehem, Pa.; "The Hartburg Quarterly," Clinton, Iowa; "The Concordia," Moorhead.

The staff suitably decorated the room in which they do their work. This room is on the third floor of the

20

THE D. ,M. L. 'C. MIDSSENGE,R

Recitation Building. The floor and woodwork were painted, curtains were hung before the windows, moldings were put up, and many other things were done. The donation of Miss Dena Huso, a member of the class of '22, was used for these purposes.

Some of the more enthusiastic and musically inclined students, have joined to form a D. M. L. C. Band. A movement was started at the beginning of the year, but the band received its real start later: Now it is in a flourishing condition, practicing once a week. They have their rehearsals in a room on the 3rd floor of the Recitation Building. They have chosen Walter Nolte president, and' Kurt Oswald director.

Prof. Palmbach and Immanuel Lenz went to Balaton, Litchfield and Hutchinson, respectively, to get donations made to D. M. L. C. They made the trip with a truck, which Mr. F. H. Retzlaff had placed at their disposal. They claim to have had a joyous time on the trip when the thermometer was hitting the mark quite low.

It again was possible this year to join several holidays to form a mid-semester vacation. This gave those students, who live near by, a chance to visit their "Home, sweet Home." All say they enjoyed this short vacation very much.

By the completion of his new house, Prof. Burk was rendered a very happy man. He now occupies his new residence.

Wegen der verhaeltnissmaessig grossen Aufnahme von Schuelern mussten drei neue Pianos gekauft werden, urn nur der aeussersten Knappheit zu steuern. Wir erhielten auf billigem Wege ein Packard, ein Stieff und ein Mathushek. Zu letzterem wurden uns noch zwei Pianostuehle geschenkt.

Die alten Pianos sind noch alle im Gebrauch.

Von dem Erloes des Junikonzertes wurde im Einverstaendnis mit dem Programkomitee der Anstalt eine Summe von $15.00 an die freikirchliche Gemeinde in Berlin (Past-Dr-Koch) fuer Missionszwecke gesandt. Darueber schreibt der Kassierer jener Gemeinde, Heinrich Martin, unterm 11. August 1922: An das Programmkomiteo der Fakultaet des Dr. Martin Luther College, New VIm, Minn., und seine Schueler-

Die Berliner Gemeinde dankt recht herzlich fuer die liebevolle Gabe von 4225 Mark und

umsomehr, da das Geld nicht von Ueberfluss, sondern von ihren Beduerfnissen genommen worden ist. Der treue Gott, der die Herzen willig gemacht hat, segne besonders diese Gabe, da sie ja zum Bau des Reiches Gottes bestimmt ist. Die Berliner Gemeinde, wie Ihnen ja bereits bekannt sein wird, betreibt im Norden Berlins eine rege Missionsarbeit .zu deren Gottesdienste regelmaessig 350-400 Zuhoerer zugegen sind. Diese Gottesdienste finden an jedem Sonntag- und Mittwochabend in der Aula des Lessing Gymnasium Berlin, Pankstrasse statt. Trotzdem die Gottesdienste bereits % Jahr stattfinden, hatten wir anfangs keinen, und jetzt einen zum Gottesdienst sehr aermlich aussehenden Altar. Durch das liebevolle Entgegenkommen, der Zusendung der Geldspende ist es uns moeglich geworden, einen Tisch mit Schubfaechern anfertigen zu lassen, in welchem wir unsere Gesangbuecher aufbewahren koennen. Dieser Tisch dient gleichfalls als Altar. Urn den Tisch wird eine schwarze mit Kreuz versehene Decke geschlagen und auf die Tischplatte eine weisse Decke gelegt, und so ist der Altar fertig. Aber nicht allein konnten wir von diesem Geld Tisch and Altardecke kaufen, sondern auch Kruzifix and Leuchter. Welche Freude haben Sie uns mit Ihrem Geldgeschenke gemacht, und ich glaube, wir haben das Geld in Ihrem Sinne verwendet, naemlich fuer Missionszwecke im Norden Berlins, Es koennte jemand sagen, vielleicht haetten die alten Deck(m auch noch genuegt. Ja, wir haetten sie auch noch weiter im Norden Berlins verwendet, wenn sie nicht in Neukoelln, einem neu errichteten Predigtplatz benoetigt worden waeren.

Auch in Mariendorf wird in einer Schule jeden Donnerstagabend Gottesdierist abgehalten. Diesen Predigtplaetzen sollen, so Gott will, andere folgen.

Wie Ihnen bekannt sein wird, haben wir in dem grossen Berlin noch keine eigene Kirche, sondern in BerlinSchoeneberg eine gepachtete, aus welcher wir jeden Tag herausgewiesen werden koennen, denn noch am Sonntag erklaerte mir der Superintendent dieser Gemeinde, dass sie im Winter wegen der hohen Heizungskosten die grosse Kirchs nicht benutzen koennten and genoetigt seien, die kleine, von uns gepachtete Kirche, an den Sonntag-Vormittagen zu Abhaltungen von Gottesdiensten zu benutzen. . So hat auch in Berlin die Kirche Christi, des reinen und lauteren Wortes Gottes eine anne Gestalt. Wie notwendig waere gerade hier im Norden Berlins eine Kirche unsere Missionstaetigkeit wuerde eine bedeutend groesser~ werden, denn man haelt uns ohne Kirche, ohne ein kirchliches Gebaeude, fuer eine Sekte, fuer einen Verein, deren es so viele in Berlin gibt. Bei solcher Missionstaetigkeit ist es auch ein Erfordernis und besonders inmittsn der

22

THE D. M. L. C. MEISSENGER

Gemeinschaftsleute, Sekten und Schwaermer eine Kirche zu besitzen. Zwar macht das Gebaeude die Kirche nicht aus, aber in Berlin ist es ein Erfordernis, wenn segensreich gearbeitet werden soll, dass man die Leute in eine Kirche fuehren kann und somit der Schein der Sektiererei von uns abgewendet wird.

Die Ernte ist reif in Berlin und der Schnitter sind wenige, und vor allen Dingen fehlt es uns an kirchlichen Raeumen, ich meine Kirchen.

Treten auch Sie, liebe Brueder, fuer unsere Mission in .Berlin durch Fuerbitte and Fuersprache an massgebender Stelle ein.

Nochmals herzlichen Dank fuer das hochherzige und liebevolle Geschenk.路 Es gruesst von ganzem Herzen die Berliner Gemeinde und besonders Ihr im Herrn verbundener Heinrich Martin.

Weitere $15.00 waren an die neugebildete Zwickauer Gemeinde in Sachsen gegangen. Diesselbe ist als Tochtergemeinde von der bekannten Planitzer Gemeinde, der saechsischen Freikirche, entstanden. Mit grossem Dank hat man diese Spende angenommen und dafuer einmal Kommunions-Gefaesse und sodann eine Anzahl Gesangbuecher gekauft. .

On the appeal of Prof. Reuter, who had received a letter from his home district in Germany, stating the conditions there, a sum of money, amounting to $65.00, was raised by the students of the Men's Dormitory and given to Prof. Reuter to help the suffering.

It was indeed sad news to hear that while here in New VIm to attend the funeral of Mrs. Retzlaff, Rev. Ackermann lost his youngest son through death. The boy was accidently scalded, and died of a nervous shock.

For several weeks we did not see Prof. Reuter among us. On account of illness he was unable to conduct his classes. He is not yet fully recovered and cannot direct the choir, but only give his piano and organ pupils as well as harmony classes instructions. We all hope for a rapid recovery, .for we miss him very much.

Many students, as well .as professors, are now busy selling tickets for the concert which the Flonzaley Quartet will give Nov. 29 under the auspices of Dr. M. L. College.

Dr. M. L. College has. lost a dear and valuable friend through the death of Mrs. F. H. Letzlaff. The funeral, which was attended by the whole faculty, was held Nov. 17.

Owing to Prof. Reuter's illness, the members of the "A" class have taken it upon themselves to direct the choirs 'Sothat a Christmas program can be rendered. They have, sofar, shown great capability in handling their positions.

'l1HE D. !M. L. C. MEIS,SEINGElR

SPRING Spring, disgusted with the long reign stern Winter had enjoyed, threw a green veil over her arm and started forth from the home of the Seasons.

It was 路a bright, cold day, and the hills of the earth were white with snow, and the ice-bound' streams and lakes lay dreaming between bare poplars and willows and green pines and firs. All was glistening under the bright rays of the sun that had again risen in tall its glory after a long absence from the eyes of men.

Winter, who held a spotless mantle around him and wore a glittering crown of ice, had long held sway. He had sent many a biting hurricane through the firs covering the hills and through the willows bordering the streams. He had sent many a cold blast over the earth, driving the foxes back into their holes and the birds into all kinds of nooks and corners.

His reign had been a dreadful one, and he seemed reluctant to give it up. He met his sister coldly, and even though she was warm hearted and merry, his frown made her cry. Her tears melted the snow on the mountains and the ice on the ,rivers. Then Winter felt very cheap, fur he saw that he had made his sister cry, and he seized the first opportunity to escape to the home of the Seasons. .

"Why do you weep, Spring 1" asked Breeze as she drove away the clouds. "I will help you if I can."

This madeBpring brighten up, and she whispered, "Blow your warm breath over the fens, and marshes, over the hills and field's; call the sweet birds from the southland; and tell the sun to prepare the earth f.or Spring."

Breeze sped on her mission, and Spring immediately passed under the ground to wake up all the worms and insects and seeds and rootlets that had slept there since Autumn had passed away to the home 路of the Seasons. And what a sight this awakening provided tdny violets JrUbbing their eyes, little buttercups popping up their heads, and yellow cowslips swaying to and fro because of warm hearted Breeze.

Then 3;S Spring prepared to leave for home, Summer said, "You have brightened the earth and made everything so beautiful; it seems I have naught to do."

"Think of Him who made the earth and you and me,'" .said Spring. "I had naught to d'o."

DER KAMELSRUECKEN. Gott, Erd. und Himmel samt dem Meer Verkuenden deine Kraft und Ehr, Auch zeigen alle Berg und Tal, Dass Du ein Herr seist ueberall.

Du bist ls, del' alle Ding regiert, Den Himmel und das路 Erdreich ziert So wunderbar, dass es kein Mensch Erforschen noeh ergruenden kann.

Dieses Lied ueber die Schoepfung und Regrerung del' Na路 tur dichteten die Boehmischen Brueder VOl'ungefaehe- vierhundert JahreD. Abel' dennoch ist die Stimmung des Liedes in del' lang en Zeit nicht verklungen, sondern sie ist vielmehr geheimnisvoll in die Seelen del' Menschen eingedrungen. Auch in meiner Seele haben die Schoenheiten del' Natur einen tiefen Eindruck gemacht. , In den zwei aufgefuehrten Strop hen empfiuden wi r, dass sich Gott in del' Nalur ofll'enbart. Dies sollte uns gewisslich reizen, ihn auch dort zu suehen, wo er UDS seine Macht und Liebe recht klar VOl'Augen stellt, Einem Christen ist daher nichts lieber als ein Spaziergang hinaus in die Natur, Abel' urn diesen Gang einen recht erquickenden zu machen, muss man nach den rechten Umgebungen suchen. Zu diesem passt sich del' Kamelsruecken sehr gut.

"Kamelsruecken? Wie kann man sich denn an del' Natur ergoetzen auf einem Kamelsrueckenj ' Solch' aehnliche Fragen siellte ich an meine Freundinnen im letzten August, als ich zum erstenmal in New Ulm war. Ich hoerte naemlieh so viel von den schoenen Spaziergaengen zum Kamelsruecken und konnte mil' gar nieht vorstellen, was fuel' ein eigentuemliches Ding das sein konnte, bis mil' eine Freundin darueber eine Erklaerung bot. , Sie sagle: ,. DClrKamelsrueeken ist ein idyllisehes Plaetzchen ungefaehr eine halbe Meile von unserm Dormitorium entfernt. Es ist ein Iangel' Berg mit zwei Gipfeln, welche etwa 250 :F'uss ueber die E1bene des CoI tonwood emporragen. Sie sind ungefaehr 300 Fuss auseinander, und zWlsehen ilmen ist eine Niederung von etwa 150 Fuss." ' "vVoher hat del' Berg abel' die.sen merkwuerdigen Na_men?" fragte ieh weiter.

"E,l' wurde Kamelsruecken genannt, weil er von der Ferne ~gesehen dem Ruecken eines zweihoeekerigen Kamels aehnelt.

Die beiden Spitzen bilden die Hoecker des Rueekens." ,. Das hoert sich reeht interessant an," sagte ieh zu ihr.

"Nun sag mil' einmal, wo ieh diesen Berg find,en kann. Ieh bin jetzt recht Iieugiel'ig ge'Worden, und mOl'gen abend naeh dem Essen muss ieh sofort hingehen." ,'Du musst den Weg entlang gehen, del' bei unserm Dormitorium vorbeifuehrt. Naeh einer Streeke von ungefaehr

THE D. M. L. C. MtE!SISEiNiGER

einer halben Meile, wo del' Weg in das Tal hinabfuehrt, wirst du einen Fusspf'ad bemerken, del' von del' link en Seite des Weges abzweigt und sich dann zwischen die Baeume hindurehsehlaengelt. Diesem Pfade musst du folgen bis zu einem Berge, von dessen Spitze du dann eine klare Aussieht in das Cottonwood Tal bekommst. Dies ist del' erste Roecker des Rueekens. Den zweiten kannst du erreichen, wenn du den Fussweg entlang gehst, del' uebe-r beide Spitzen fuehrt."

Wie gesagt, so getan. Gleich naeh dem Abendbrot ging ieh mit meiner Freundin dorthin, und eS war eine wundersehoene Aussieht; die wir von del' Bergeshoehe bekamen, Es schien, als ob dieses ein bezauber-ter Platz waere, denn seit del' Zeit zog er uns oftmals zu ihm zurueck. Besonders zu den Zeiten, in welehen wir ein wenig :Heimweh bekamen und uns dem Geluemmel des Dormitoriums entziehen wollten, lud er :uns hin mit freundliehen Winken. .

Es waere vielleicht f'alsch, die Sehoenheit des Berges mit der Abwechselung der Jahreszeiten verschieden zu bewerten, aber mil' gefaellt er am besten in del' Winterzeit. Sehr lebhaft steht rnir noeh das Bild vor Augen, welches ich vor einigen Abenden sah.

Das Federbett war schon ziemlich hart gswcrden, und da hatte Frau Holle es S'O toll gesehuettelt, dass es zerriss und alle die f'einen, weissen Federn zur Erde gefallen waren. Die Sonne war am Untcrgehen und sandte ihre letzten Strahlen ueber das Tal, welches unten vor unsern Fuessen lag. Berg und Tal, in ihrem weissen Kleide, gaben den Widerschein del' praechtigen Farben, die sieh jetzt am Horisont entwiekelten.

In der Ferne war der FIuss, del' sich wie ein siluerner Faden um die Berge wand. Er war mit hartern Else ueberfroren, und auf demselben tummelte sich eine mumere Kinderschar.

Rings urn das Tal ragte eine Bergkette hervor, bewachsen mit.

Eichen, deren Aeste aussahen, als ob sie mit Herrnelinpelz bekleidet waeren. In der Ferne sahen wir die Baeume gegen das glue路hende Abendrot skizziert. Auf der .Flussebene und den gegenueber liegenden Bergen lag.en die Bauerllhoefe, VOll' denen der Rauch still in die frische ,Abendluft hinaufstieg.

Hint er uns lagen noeh andere Berge, und ein breiter Fahrweg schlaengel1e sich an dem Fuss des Berges entlang; bis er z1H' Brueeke kam, die, den Fluss kreuzt, Von hier fuehrl e er wieder hin zwischen die Berge, bis e1'unserm Auge entschwand.

Hoeh ueber uns, auf dem I-Iimmelsmeer, segelten etliehe V,T oiken langsam dem Sueden zu. Sehr gerne waere i'eh hinauigesprungen und 路haette von oben das T'al und. die Berge betraehtet. Dieses war unmoeglich. Also sang ieh路 leise in meinem Herzen weiter: Wie Iieblich,ist. Herr, und wie schoen, Was du erschaffen, anzusehen!

Doch wie viel lieblicher bist du, ' o Herr;'mein Gott, in deiner Ruh'! . ,' ..

A VISITOR OF THE NIGHT It was at the supper table, on the 20th of December, that my folks decided to visit at my uncle's place for the evening.

Dad got the car ready and the whole family, excepting myself, arranged themselves in various positious of comfort on the seats of the automobile. I had decided to remain at home and write a few belated letters. ' About nine 0 'clock it began to snow. Only a little snow, but with it came a dismally howling wind. There was "husbandry in the heavens." No stars were to be seen. The moon had deserted his sentry post. The wind moaned through the trees. The outer door sang a mournful song to the tune of the weird music played by the shadowy minstrels standing about the house. Strange whisperings of stili stranger deeds were thrown about on the wild night air, In just such a dark, dreary night did Macbeth murder Duncan. .

While sitting in the living room, the mysterious scenes of the "Tragedy of Macbeth" were somewhat elrillingly recalled to mind. Dark forms seemed to peer at me from every window. I smiled as I thought of being back at D. M. L. C., listening to the inspector tell horror-inspiring, gruesome ghost stories. At last these thoughts began ta affect my peace of mind. I was beginning to be nervous. ' It tOOKquite an effort of will to quiet myself', and to write. The clack had struck half after eleven. My folks had nat returned. A knocking sounded at the door. The scene of the parter of hell-gate flashed through my consciousness. I, however; did nat wait as long as that worthy did befare responding to the knock; although I did it with some reluctance.

A stranger stood an the threshhold, He came in and stood by the stove, without a word. He seemed to be about twentyfive years of age.

"Have you anything to eat?" came from the muffled depths of his cellar.

"I will try to find something far you."

The stranger sat dawn and I went to the kitchen to prepare a lunch for my visitor. Coffee still remained from the _eveningmeal. I took a cup of it to him. He was examining the contents of a drawer when I appeared in the doorway.

He heard me and whirled about.

"Hand aver your money and be quick about it!" ." I don't believe there is any in the house."

"Where is your silverware?" ."I do nat know."

The man began to search 1'01' it. At first I had conceived the idea of trying farce on the burglar, but 1 'Soan decided that discretion was the better part of valor in this case. He was half a head taller than I and much broader. I also strong-

TIllE D. M. L. C. MES:SENlGEtR

ly suspected him of carrying a gun, although he had as yet made no move toward' it.

• I tried to throw him off the track by telling him where to look. He always avoided my suggestions. At last I told him where the silverware really was and he skipped this drawer entirely. You may well imagine how, all this' while, cold chills had been playing swiftly up and down my spine.

Suddenly the rumbling roar of a car came to my ears. The robber heard the noise and asked, "Wbat is that?"

"It sounds like a car," I innocently replied.

I felt a relief inexpressible in words and resolved then and there to do my best in trying to keep the evil-doer in the house until my father would arrive to capture him.

The burglar continued his search for the valuables, still keeping a close watch on me, when he abruptly became aware that the auto had turned, into the yard. The man snatched a large cake from the table and ran for the door. I flew at him and tackled him about the hips. He fell, but in falling loosed my hold. Staggering to ,his feet, he dashed to the door and disappeared into the dark, biting storm or the night. We never heard of him afterward.

The messy appearance 01£ the drawers half convinced my parents and brothers of the truth of my story; still they had a slight suspicion that I had invented the tale to cover the disappearance of a large, delicious spice-cake.

• EASTER THOUGHTS Christ the Lord is risen again!

Christ has broken death's str,ong chain!

Hark! the angels shout for joy, Singing evermore on high: Hallelujah!

Christ, the Prince of Life, is risen and has brought life and .salvation to this world of sin! That is the joyous message

THE D. M. L. C. IMElSS~NGER

which makes the whole Christian world break forth into song on Easter day.

WhatIf Christ would not have risen ~ We would have to look into the darkest depths of, despair. "For if Christ were not risen, then our faith would be vairr; and we would yet be in our sins.'" Then also our prayer, " Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide; F'Or round us falls the even tide," would be naught. He would not come to be with us and to light the way for us through the valley 'Ofdeath. Then death would not be a gain, but pure loss, Our hopes' in Christ would be shattered, and we would of all men be most miserable.

But God be praised that this is different, for "Christ is risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept!" The more distressing the results of Christ's remaining in the jaws of death would have been, .the more triumphant is the j:oy and the fuller the blessing of his resurrection: Now this truth remains that we are" rellowcitizena with the saints, and of the household of G'Od"; and m triumphant chorus we sing, "0 death, where is thy stmg i 0 grave, where is thy victory? , , ' Thanks be 1,0 God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

K. F. O. '25 SHOULD MISSIONARIES BE SENT TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES ALTHOUGH THE;RE ARE SO MANY HEATHEN AT HOmE? Missionaries are those laborers in the vineyard of our Lord, who take .it upon themselves to bring souls, which are groping about in the darkness of their sin, to see a Light, the only Light by which they can be saved rfrom falling into the pit of hell. This Light is Jesus Christ, Who died for the sins. of all, even the 'heathen.

If you pick up any of the church papers, you are sure to find something mentioned about missionary work, either in this or in a foreign country. Possibly y.ou will find an article on missionary work among the Indians, or the Negroes, or even the Chinese. Thus you see that there IS considerable missionary work carried on. But to further this Great Cause, money and some more money is needed. Of course, it is self-eviderit that i he work in roreign ' countries will take much more money .han the 'work at home. Snould we, then, although there is a路 great expense connected with it send missionaries to foreign ecuntries, not wit hstanding lhe' fact .that there are so路nl'any-J!l'r~atbel1'路athome? I say we should, and I shall try to -pncvetmyt.statement ..

In the first place, we should send missionaries to foreign countries because most of the heathen at h01/iC have a chance.

TrHE D. M. iL. IC. MIEISSENIGEIR

to hear the Gospel of Ohrist.. If they live among civilized people, they will somehow or other get in contact with the word of God. Here the church offers the best opportunity.

Every Sunday morning they are summoned to its portals by the ringing of the bells, If only more would listen to this call! To many the ringing of. these bells is a mere once-aweek occurrence which tells them. "To-day- you do not have to work. Eat, drink, and be merry!"

These heathen may hear 'Of the Gospel in a different manner. Possibly a Christian and an Infidel are working together.

Surely, it will happen that the subject of religion will at times be involved in .their conversation .. Then the Christian, if he is worthy of this name, will preach Christ, the Crucified.

Secondly, besides being able to hear the Gospel, these heathen and Non-Christians have rnanv chances to reed of these Good 'I'idings. Nowadays Biblels may be purchased anywhere for a small sum, and church papers and circulars are distributed all over and can be obtained free of charge at some places.

Thirdly, we should provide food for the starving souls in !foreign countries, because these heal hen are living in their sins and licentiousness without knowing what sin is. These are the conditions under which many of the missionaries are working. They should preach to the heathen forgiveness of sin when he has no conception of sin.

Fourthly, many 'of these heathen live hundreds, yes, even thousands of miles from civilized persons who could' preach the Gospel to them. How is Christ going to be brought to these ,benighted souls if not through missionaries t Fifthly, missionaries should be sent 00 foreign countries because God has expressly commanded us to do so when he said, "Go ye, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." Therefore, if we would not send missionaries to foreign countries . .we should be acting contrary to God's will. Are not these 'poor souls also in eluded in c c all nations?"

Are you not now convinced that missionaries should. be sent 路00 these heathen in foreign countries, who live in sin without having any conception 'Of it and who live many hundred miles from civilized persons who might be able to bring the Gospel to them? Do you still want to act contrary to the will of -God ? Surely, the 'heathen at horne can be well provided for, 'lhough we send missionaries to foreign coumtries.

But now, to conclude, let us not only sena missionaries, 'but let us also provide for them. If we cannot give our millions, we can give the widow's mite. And last, but not least, let us not forget the missionaries in our prayers, This is worth .more than all the money we can give.

THE ADVANTAGES OF THE TE.A:CHING PROFESSION All professions have their advantages. With some, it is the large salary and the possibility of advancement; with others it is a chance to serve the community and the country.

The teaching profession is a combination of the two. It gives' one a chance for advancement, and also enables one to serve God and his neighbor.

Few of the prospective teachers know or realize the hardships they must endure in their work. While preparing themselves to qualify as leaders and models for boys and girls, they see only the sunny side, only the advantages which the profession offers. Yes, and it has many advantages to offer, especially to those who are to become teachers in a Christian day school.

First, this vocation requires a good education. A good education is a training of the character and the intellect. Education does not cease with graduation, but merely begins.

Anyone who wishes to impart knowledge to others must have a thorough understanding of the subject himself. Every subject must be prepared carefully, and many of them require thorough research work which is very instructive. It is not until a teacher enters his work, ,that he realizes how little he actually knows. Problems of teaching must be studied and new methods investigated.

Yet, besides all this, teaching in, itself is a study. Each pupil represents a different type of character and requires individual attention. Each character must be carefully studied, for the success of the teacher depends greatly on the manner in which he approaches the pupil. ' But these advantages are offered for the most part, only in the school-room. We may then ask, "Are there no advantages in this profession, outside of the class-room1" There certainly are.

Every teacher is expected to lead the activities of the community. As a leader he is watched very closely. For every careless act, he is severely criticized. The teacher wilf therefore strive to be an example which the people may wen follow. .The greatest advantage, however, is that in this profession we may serve our neighbor.. A successful teacher' thinks first of his pupils, then of himself. He may' endeavor to edu- . cate bis pupils to live an honest, upright life and to make them successful in this world. More than this, however; a, teacher of a Christian school must train his pupils in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. There is nothing greater than teaching Christianity to, boys and girls, that their faith may be' accounted unto them for salvation. What greater work than this, of leading children to Ohrist!

HAS THE NORTH AMERlC'AN INDIAN BEEN TREATED UNFAIRLY? The red man is the aborigine of North America. Before the discoveries of Golumbus, he lived in the woods and prairies . of this country and roamed about in them at will. Then the white man came and brought with him his arts and sciences which he endeavored to teach the Indian. WaT"and conquest followed and the Indian was gradually driven away from his hunting grounds, across the Mississippi River, and into mountain fastnesses and deserts and unprofitable regions. There he finally succumbed to disease and other vices, so that whole tribes were exterminated.

Very few wild tribes of Indians now remain in the United States and those that do remain are gathered into tracts of land called reservations, where they have protection by the government. Their condition is in no wise what it was formerly; their hunting grounds have been turned into large agricultural fields; the great herds of buffalo, one of their means of sustenance, have been practically exterminated; the. Indians themselves have been demoralized by the viseious habits of the white man, and their freedom has been curbed by the white man's dealings.

When we think of all this we must invariably ask ourselves: Have the dealings of the white man III respect to the "Indian been fair or not?

It is a universal, unwrilten law that whoever lays claim to路 a thing first has the sole right of ownership. Who, if not the Indians; were the first to live in America ~ Is there one white man who can say that he as much as saw America before the Indian had clainied it? Yet the wnite man took possession of this country, and wherever the Indian tried to defend his property, he was greeted with powder and lead.

Some white men there were, indeed, whose conscience told them that this was wrong, and they therefore wade all kinds of treaties with the red man. Take, for instance, William Penn when he founded Pennsylvania. But how long did this last? At the most until Penn's death, and then when the colonists saw fit, they began to expand, and inch by inch the Indian had to back up or give up his life. The few massacres ~that happened at this time can 'be counted as nothing against ~.thetreatment the Indian received at the hands of the white -man.

Little worthless trinkets and sundry other things were often the means of outwitting the ignorant Indians and acquiring large tracts of the most fertile lands. We read of many instances where mirrors, shiny bits of brass and copper, and similar articles were offered the red man for his lands, his valuable furs and other things. Was this fair treatment?

THE

,

Some people say that the Indian has been cared for in the best possible manner by reservations; but we know very well that these reservations have been gradually decreasing in size, that the promised aid of the government has oftentimes been wanting, and that the government or its employes have often been the means of defrauding the Indian. Those who have heard of the Indian Outbreak at New DIm about sixty years ago know how the Indians, enraged by the impertinency of the government officials who refused to pay the annuity due them, finally attacked the poor inhabitants of that town as their nearest point of revenge. That act, although it was full of horror, was merely a defence against the encroachments of the government. .

When savages are provoked to anger, their acts of revenge' . are terrible; but the acts of injustice by which their patience is tried and exhausted must be still greater. .At the time of the massacre at New DIm an official of a reservation, in his expedition against the Indians, caused several barrels of crackers to be mixed with strychnine, for the Indians. The unsophisticated .and starving redskins ate greedily, and hundreds of them died of the poison. Yet, this was done in the face of civilization! Thus also "firewater" and other viscious gifts .of the white race, which are just as good' as this poison, were introduced to the Indians. Since the Indians have a rather sensitive constitution, these worked great havoc among them, and although their number has not decreased, they have brought about the extermination of many tribes . .It is therefore fair to conclude that the North American Indian has been treated unfairly. His rightful property has been taken from him; he has been defrauded of his land; treaties made with him have not been kept; and his health has been destroyed by the introduction of "firewater" and. other vicious habits of the white race. What strange feelings, overcome us 'on beholding these once noble Indian tribes who; centuries ago, so hospitably received and entertained our forefathers now roaming about like beggars in their own inheritance! What feelings, when we think 'Ofhow the irresistible white race fell upon these children of nature with fire and sword! Is it civilization that was brought to them? Smallpox, debauchery, and whisky were the gifts, if not powder and lead!

EXCHANG[ SUIIIN

Here is an old faithful, an old acquaintance, "The Black and Red !" . For anyone who can not read, the letters on the cover will let him know that black must have some connection here; but the more fortunate creatures, who can read, will know it is not "Black and Brown" but "Black and Red." Let us pretend to be some of these more fortunate creatures and see what there is beyond the cover, and what there IS beside colors.

The first, or Literary, column opens with a poem, "To the Mississippi." The author protrays a wealth of phantasy. He also remains quite true to the meter. What we miss now and 'then, however, is a uniformity in sentences.

The next number takes us to Egypt. It is entitled" Egypt bids 11S look her way." It informs us of the excavations and discoveries concerning the supposed Pharaoh Tutankhamen. The writer also explains why these may prpve important for us Christians; namely, that they may confirm certain Scripture passages.

• The next literary number bearing the title " Jeanne D '.

Are, " is both interesting and instructive.

The last title, perhaps, will make the reader put on a queer' smile at first glance, or even remark that it was crowded into the wrong column. It reads" Watertown, the Greatest Goose Market in the,\Vorld."

The item is perfectly in place and is strictly serious. The contents are exceedingly truthful that is, as far as the preparation of geese for, the market, i~ general, is concerned.' The composition is well written, but it could endure a slight change in punctuation here and there.

The editorials are exceptionally good. The first of these "Unhealthy Convictions ", is only too true. It treats, of th~ danger of the one-sided' mind. It is particulariy adapted to people of great knowledge in one certain branch, and who make this one branch their God. It might have been appropriate to add that a true Christian will, with the help of God, try to root out' all of these ideas. ' " "Usage" is a fine editorial, for 'students particularly. The, ••

THE D. M. L. C. MEISSIDNGER

author wishes to bring 'Outthe tyrannical inclinations 'OfUsage.

Just this one thing which he gives us as an example typical 'Ofhis college, cursing, makes us realize what a tyrant Usage is in 'Our college circles.

To bring up the rear 'Of the fine Editorial column is an essay 'On"Graduati'On Expenses." The few remarks the writer has are certainly to the 路p'Oint.

The Alumni column could be written ill a more effective style. F'Or those who are unacquainted, a slight remark here and there would increase the interest unspeakably.

The Seminary Notes are written vividly; but for these, as well as for the College Notes, we suggest a change in f'orm, namely, not to write them as 'Onecomplete story, but to put a mark 'Ofdistinction between the separate paragraphs.

Although the College Notes are written fairly well, we must stop and wonder whether two societies are the 'Only general topics at Watertown. We object to the expression "fav'Ored us with."

The exchanges are written without sarcasm, but in a brief and friendly style which we cannot help but admire.

The Locals are interesting, even to a stranger. We suggest that the C'O-EdNotes be written a little more in detail and with the same vigor. . A few more cuts would make various eolumns more attractive. fjupp'Osing you incite some 'Of your artists! Besides, the diligent reader oIf "The Black and Red" will notice that there are some who write articles for it a great deal oftener than 'Others. Another thing that is striking is the zeal applied to root out everything beyond "Manly Beauty", clearly expressed in several of the late issues. This certainly is not to be overlooked, particularly in this Age.

.

One 'Ofthe best of the small publications in newspaper form is "The Trumpet", published by the students 'OfCentral Wisconsin College, Scandinavia, Wisconsin. It distinguishes itself from some newspapers in that it has a more definite 'Order.

The first two topics clearly show what the Lutheran church stands for. The first tells us again that it is faith and not 'Our 'Own good works which makes us 'brethren of Christ. The second 'Oneagain brings the assurance that all men must appear before the Judgment Seat 'OfGod, and G'Odsays this will be .soon, in the words, "Beh'Old, I come quickly!"

Joseph Haydn's life story is well written, with the excep'tion 'Ofa few constructions.

The continued story, "Virginia", is interesting and has the quality 'Of making the reader wonder what is coming next.

Our criticism is the gap in the story between the two eonsecutive papers. The story seems to be original, for which we give the author credit,路 but we suggest to him to take the

advice of so many of our .leading authors, not to cease revising.

Furthermore we suggest to you to add one or more. editorials.

The exchanges are well written, particularly as far as smoothness of paragraphs is concerned.

The Locals might be a little more like the remainder of the page, "spicy."

The items under" Spice" are appropriate ana. interesting, but we severely criticise the word all right (alright.) Likewise under" Societies," we point out the word everyone (everyone).

Your societies appear to be educational and interesting and the members, loyal.

The advertisements give us a favorable impression of your advertising manager.

Please, Trumpet, sound often!

The Professors Leverson, Palmbach, and Schweppe mo-· tored to St. Peter, Minn., on Tuesday, Feb. 27, to attend the basketball game between Gustavus Adolphus and Hamline. It was an interesting game from beginning to end, and resulted in the victory of G. Adolphus, by a score of 24-22.

Adolf Ritz was made happy by a visit from .his sister, Her-· tha, on the 28th of Feb. She left again for Mankato on March 2.

Their parents were still underthe impression that their sons were sick, but rejoiced when they became aware of the fact that they had recovered. They left a good store of "eals".

This again shows the love ana care of parents, 'which we cannot repay.

THOU CAL.LEDST ME, LORD.

HERE I AM!

o Mighty Master! God of all creation!

In this sad day of evil and of woe Thou calledst out from heaven o'er all the nation For sowers who seeds of love would sow.

Thou madest fit the soil to take the grain; Thou furnishest the sunshine and the rain; Thou givest us the fruit of thy salvation; Rich shall the harvest be and great the gain.

Far out in western lands, in wheatfields golden Thy cry was heard, and Anna answered, "Yea! My heart in heavenly rapture is enfolden, o Lord! That I could bless this happy day.

Take me, my Heavenly Father, where thou wilt; Take me where Thou Thy harvest fields hast built.

I love Thy service, Lord; I love Thy children; Let me, Thy servant, Lord, wit h love be filled."

"I'was there that Pauline too first heard Thy calling.

T'he peaceful Pauline pondered not, but when She saw the fertile seeds, where they were falling, Much fruit 'would bear, responded there and then:"Thou calledst me, my Lord, and here I am; Make love within my heart a living flame; Let me Thy work begin with song and lulling.

I go, Illy Lord, to labor in Thy name."

On Minnesota's plains, 0 'er her vast prairies, 'I'hy trumpet's blast to Elmer Kuehn had come.

He heard.. and answered gladly, "Let me carry 'I'hy saving word to those who know no home Of love, or faith, or hope, .01' heavenly bliss.

Tho' many are the blessings I shall miss, Take me, 0 Lord, and do not let me tarry.

Oh! Send me forth in faith and fearlessness."

"With violin, my Lord, 'I'hy praise 1'11 sing; I'll teach Thy flocks to let Hosannahs ring To Thee, for Th ou t heir daily bread art crumbling And songs of thanks sound from their temple walls."

Our youngest brother, Adelbert, inspired With holy love that from Thy Spirit came, Much nimbleness of fingers had acquired, To glorify and laud Thy holy name.

The organ- in Thy service he would play, When bells proclaimed Thy holy Sabbath day.

With zeal, to serve Thy children, he was fired, Though naught cared he for eminence or fame.

When pioneers the name of Paul remembered, They called their settling place by his great name.

From thence Verona came; her service tendered To Thee, and thus in faith to us she came, A shepherdess in Thy great fold to be.

Of steadfast will; yet tender heart had she; With song serene her kindly service rendered To call Thy sheep, that they might with Thee be.

Far from the East carne Lester, artist clever, From Winnebagos shores he came to 'I'hee When first he heard Thy call; and that it ever Would ring out loudly, guide and make men free, His heart and hand to train to follow Thee' He came to us; our leader soon was he, And when our ways on earth from him must-sever, Oh! May our prayers for him then answered be!

Inspired by the blessings of his labors As teacher of the youth for many years, A man, endowed with ready gifts and favors, Received Christ's call with open, gladdened ears.

His joyful heart broke forth in warm consent And praised the Lord's great goodness. Arthur went.

May God forever crown your work with honors, Dear Krueger, and you be mindful, that He you has sent.

Ah ! Dearest Lord, may we be Thine forever; Be Thou our Guide and guard us from despair, That true we be, and may our spirit never Depart from Thee nor build its walls on air.

Let us henceforth be sowers of thy fields, And grant that full and heavy be the yields; .

May we from 'I'hy help draw as from a river.

A. C. K. '23 10th stanza by Lester Sonn '23 CLASS HISTORY The golden sun was sinking as I closed the door of my little brown schoolhouse. I paused a moment to watch it disappear and thought, "How this reminds me of seeing the sun sink behind Hillcrest Hall. Only one more week and I shall see that very scene again and, best of all, I shall see our dear class .of 1923. Oh l how the years have flown.

Can it really be ten years since that never-to-be-forgotten graduation morning ~" As I was thus lost in thought, I saw strange figure coming down the road toward my schoolhouse. Who could it be ~ It seemed as though she were not used to the country roads,for the rain of yesterday made her jump from one side to the other. As she noticed me, she waved, quickened her pace and forgot all about the mud puddles.

Calling out, .. Verona Messerli!" I ran toward her. I was so taken by surprise that I could not utter a word. She had come to stay with me, so that we could travel to New VIm together, where we were to have our planned class reunion. \Ve spent many hours that evening recalling past experiences.

"By the way, Frieda, do you still receive your Messenger?"

Verona asked.

"I surely do. I think more of it every year. How it has grown these last years."

"Do you remember that wonderful essay on- what was it ~ I'don"t remember in which issue it was either," "I have saved everyone of them. Let's go up in the attic and look at them." .

After rummaging through (he box, Verona suddenly shouted, , "Why! Here is our old Annual of 1923!"

"Oh! I haven't looked at that for years! Didn't you and I have to write something for that i" I asked.

"It seems to me- Oh yes, the "Class History." Don't you remember what an awful time we had in writing it?"

"And do you remember how we just didn't know where to begin with the history because we all started in different classes? Let's see what we did write."

"Oh! Here it is," I exclaimed and began to read: "CLASS HISTORY" "In November 1919 a strange group of girls appeared to interrupt the peacefulness of D. M. L. C. One of them, a brown-haired, modest girl, whose clear brown eyes often said more than she actually spoke. was Frieda John from Mankato, Minnesota. The year flew by rapidly, but it taught her many things. At the end of the year, she was told that she could enter "c" class. The following year she returned with many earnest resolutions.

In order to send out teachers each year, the old course continued until the students of the new course would graduate.

So also in 1920 a "C" class had to be found.

"September brought many new students and Frieda was anxiously looking for her classmates, wandering whether she would have any. In the afternoon she saw a group of new girls coming from the recitation hall. . One of them, a gid with dark hair and friendly blue eyes seemed the happiest of all.

Frieda asked her what class she would enter and upon the girl's answer that she 'was in "C" class, Frieda jumped, for she had found a classmate at last. It didn't take them long to get acquainted because Anna Falk was quite talkative and soon told Frieda everything about her home in Thomas, South Dakota. By suppertime they had found other classmates, Anna Winter, Anna Kinden, and Antoinette Nolte. They were wondering whether these would be the only ones in "C" class.

To their great joy, they soon found out that the class consisted of girls only.

"One day. as these five passed the dormitory, they heard some 'Onesinging. It was a clear, strong voice, and they were anxious to know to whom it belonged. 'I'hey were told that it was Pauline Hafner from Glenham, South Dakota. She had been put into the tenth grade, but after two weeks she joined ", C" class.

"After all homesickness was over, the class settled down to earnest work.

"T'he most exciting event of the year was the celebration of Pauline's birthday, which lasted from nine 0 'clock in the evening until two in the morning, and from which the girls of the dormitory suffered for many clays afterwards.

"Another joyful time was spent at a class picnic near Crone's Cottage on May 30th.

, ''1'11efollowing September found several members of the class at the station. Cheerfully they hurried on their way to college. They had not gone far when they saw a strange figure with a heavy suit-case in front of them. They immediately drew the conclusion that he was a new student, for he seemed in doubt as to which street to take. He' noticed them and, not being a bit bashful, asked them whether they were going to college. Upon their answer he joined their company, and they walked up the hill together.

They found him to be a frank and good-natured boy. They could not help but wonder where he had gone to school, for he used such English that made the girls wish for' a dictionary, He told them that his name was Lester Sonn .and that he came from Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.

He had studied in 'Watertown and was now going to enter "B" class. ' "After supper the girls walked out to Camel's-Back, and there on the top of the hill stood a familiar person gazing over the landscape, \ -, 'Elmer Kuehn,' they shouted.

'-I-Ie turned and greeted them with that old friendly smile which was so characterist ic of him, Elmer, from Appleton, Minnesota, had entered college in 1918, but had sacrificed a year to teach school. He was glad to hear that he was not the only boy in "B" class, for Elmer had always been a little bashful.

"The months passed. The class soon received the honorable name of "Boese B." which they always livrd up to.

"In January, they heard the sad news that Anna Kinden could not return on account of illness.

"On the 6th of May, the "Boese B" showed the" A" class that there also ",'as a good side to them when they surprised them with a party at Professor Schaller's home.

"1\1ay ]5th Frieda John was called to Grover, South Dakota to teach summer school and to see whether South Dakota was such a wonderful place, as its representatives at college boasted.

"In the evening of June third, the boys, as well as the girls, practiced some rules in etiquette while serving at the" A" class banquet.

"Tn June all left with a glad heart, knowing that they would see each other again after a few months. However, Auria Winter could not come back, for she had decided to try ont the "five formal steps of teaching" in Elmore.

"During the summer months, many members of the class taught summer school, so that by the time college reopened the name '~Bo('se B" was changed to "vVerte A." "The first evening a lonesome girl was seen wandering about the campus. Who could it be? She had raven-hued hair and seemed to he looking for some one. It was Verona.

'Messerli from St. Paul, Minnesota.

She had entered college as a tiny little eighth grade girl in 1917 and had taught school in 1921. It seemed strange to her not to find her old classmates back, but still it seemed good to be back at the place that for many years had been a second home to her. The class welcomed her with joy, for Verona was a girl who could be jolly, but still serious enough to go about her work diligently.

"Another new member of the class, who had entered D. M. L. C. in 1918 and had also taught school for a year, was Adelbert Backer: from New UIm, Minnesota.

He was so quiet that the students felt they hardly knew him.

Secretly, they admired him for his loyalty to the proverb, 'Silence is golden.'

"As the class assembled the next day two strange persons entered the room. One, a tall blond girl, took the third seat.

She seemed quiet and reserved, but Esther Huehnerkoch from Redwood Falls, Minnesota, "vas soon a favorite with many, for she was also witty and full of fun. The other person, Art.hur Krueger, from New London, Wisconsin, had been teaching in' .his horne town for three years.

He was now an industrious student, but in spite of the fact that he had been a teacher, he did not consider himself above the rest, but joined them in all their activities.

"The class realized that a year of hard work was before them, and all resolved to try to make it a successful one. In spite of work and worries the class enjoyed many happy hours.

"On Halloween the ghosts of "A" and" B" class wandered to the third floor of the recitation building where they spent a jolly evening in singing and playing games.

"In November the class lost a member when Antoinette Nolte accepted a call to Janesville, Minnesota.

"April 26th was College Arbor Day. "A" class was afraid they would soon be forgotten, so they planted a blue-spruce class tree on the campus in-front of the boy's dormitory.

The following Sunday the dedication took place, at which each member made a little speech.

Wh ile they were gathered around the tree. the time for the class reunion was also set. c : As the year drew to a close. each one felt more and more that the time was coming in which t hey would be separated.

So May 6th was selected as the day in which to spend a last happy time together.

By the sunburnt, freckled faces and tired expressions one could see that the "A" class had had a real picnic. ..

"One day after their German period the class remained for a special meeting.

The president announced that th e faculty invited them to a party at the schoolhouse on May 29th. They accepted the invitation with great pleasure.

"The last but not least important event in the history of .Iie class is~" "Hmm."

L. H. S. '23 CLASS PROPHECY Ten years of school. teachi ng had affected my physical welfare. and my health was becoming. to .me, a serious question. Having had a considerable sum of money bequeathed to me by an annt, I decided to combine the regaining of my health with a Ioug-suppressed yearning for travel. Most of all, my craving for adventure lured me toward Europe. On the 17th of -Iune I began my journey in a ?ord. New York being the first goal, I set the course in an easterly direction, making Chicago my first important stop.

Seeing a fvw of this city's sights required two weeks' time.

One evening, as I sat in the lobby of the hotel at which I was, staying, I picked up a discarded evening paper. I opened it and read the headline., Again and again I read that headIiue. What was it that could have caught my interest in such a manner ~ No wonder; for these were the words: "Noted Biologist, Lester Sonn, Has Great Success in South

13:

Sea Islands. Returns to America With Most Beautiful Orchid EV'er Found. Many Unknown Plants Are Catalogued by Professor Sonn of Columbia University."

Who would ever have thought that Lester Sonn, the old classmate of mine at D. M. L. C. in 1923, would ever become such a famous man. I read the rest of the article and found that he had won renown in the world 'Of research work even before this notable success. After reading that he was stationed at Columbia University as Professor of Botany, I determined to visit him while in New York. This concluded my stay in Chicago and I journeyed onward.

The Ford which I drove was a sturdy piece of workmanship. Not a mishap had befallen me thus far. In Ohio, however, my luck changed. It happened in Dayton.

The car struck a bump and came down with a crash; the rear axle was broken. Fortunately there was a garage on the same street. It took about half an hour to haul my car into the garage. When I went into the office to see about having it repaired, I found a woman sitting in the chair, with her back turned toward me. Imagine my surprise, when she turned, to find myself face to face with another classmate of mine, Esther Huehnerkoch. Immediately my memory called forth a picture of Esther, while yet at college, saying that she loved to tinker with her father's car. "vVhy, Elmer Kuehn, hello there. How are you? How do you happen to come here? Where are you going? What are you doing now ?"

If you know Esther, you can picture her standing there and throwing the questions at me without awaiting a reply.

I answered her as well as possible and asked a few questions on my part.

"Why yes, Elmer, this is my garage. You see I always had a "hankering" to fix automobiles; so I worked myself up until I was able to buy this garage. You'11 stay for supper; won't you?"

"I guess 1'11 have to, because the rear axle of my car is broken. " After a delightful meal, we seated ourselves comfortably and talked over old times. Suddenly Esther jumped up and ran into the other room. She returned with a book in her ,hand and gave it to me without a word. I looked at the title.

Mater now. I bought the book because I was interested in what he had written and I must say that his principles are well worth reading and applying. If his system were practiced, English spelling would be much simplified."

In a few days I was on my journey again. I arrived in New York only to find that Lester and his wife had left for Africa a few days before. This was a great disappointment, but he had gone; so I continued my journey on board the 111erriam.

The voyage was rather rough. vYe encountered a storm after a day out of port. My attack of seasickness was soon dispelled by the stormy weather and, although my fear of the sea mitigated the pleasure somewhat during the worst part of the gale, I enjoyed my first sea voyage immensely.

Nevertheless, I was glad to feel solid earth under my feet once more at Bordeaux. What amused me greatly on my trip to Paris was the railroad system of France.

One afternoon, as I was walking along the Avenue de I 'Opera, I noticed a billboard standing before a theater.

Opera Mme. puseng In

La Charite Some inner force determined me to attend the opera that evening.

The opening strains of the overture sounded and the busy, buzzing conversation of the multitude was stilled. The wonderful music held me spellbound. Now the opera itself!

Slowly the curtain was raised. The chorus sang out softly, loudly, more subdued, and died out; the echoes haunting every corner of the huge building.

Ah! The prima donna steps forward. Can it be true?

Do my eyes deceive me? I can only stare at the stage. The aria swells forth pearly clear from a golden throat; but I hardly am aware of 1he wonderful sounds being wafted to my ear, scarcely knowing that the soloist is accompanied only by a piano, that the player is bringing wonderful music from the instrument, as real, as intense, as beautiful as the singing, really a concert in itself. But why this sudden apathy ! My eyes see only the singer, the one who already at D. M. L. C. had distinguished herself, my classmate, Pauline Blafner. How familiar, yet, how strange, the sound of her voice.

I do not know how, but in some way I found myself in her room during the intermission. I was still so astounded that I could hardly do more than murmur the commonplace greeting and stare at Pauline. She motioned with 'her hand and pointed to another side of the room. I turned and to my greater bewilderment saw another old friend and graduate

of 1923, Frieda John, dazzling with splendor and happiness, for the opening night of the opera was proving a success. If it had not been for the fact that my entire mind was first caught by Pauline, I am very sure I should have recognized her lithe figure at the piano.

Of my visit with my two friends I will only say that it was a very enjoyable occupation to remind each other of events that had happened while we were students at college.

Especially were the precious memories of our last year as students brought to life. I told them as much as I knew about our classmates and they were not a little surprised to hear of the positions occupied by the members of whom I could tell them.

There is yet one important part of my trip of which I must speak. At San Francisco I bought another Ford and toured through historic and beautiful spots in a general easterly direction.

One sultry afternoon I was driving along a South Dakota road. My radiator was steaming. I knew that I must have water very soon. A short distance ahead was a school-house standing beside the road. I stopped near the pump. I could see no pail with which I could pour water into my car, so I went to the door and wrapped.

The teacher opened the door and to my great surprise and joy I recognized her at once as another graduate of 1923, Verona Messerli. She invited me inside to visit her school.

I accepted and went in.

The school consisted of a large room containing seating room for about sixty pupils. Nearly all the seats were filled; therefore I concluded that Verona must have been very successful in her work. . The lessons were interesting, especially so to me, being a teacher, and before I was aware of how the time had flown, the clock struck four. With a short prayer the children were excused, leaving us alone. Verona soon had finished her work and' asked me to come with her to her boarding place.

"It will be interesting to you, I'm sure." /1 found a pair and watered my Ford. To get the car started necessitated a bit of cranking and then we started off. About half a mile from the school Verona bade me turn in at a prosperous-looking farmyard. I did so and stopped before the house. . "Now come with me," she said.

She led me to a fence where a woman was feeding a flock of fine, large geese.

When we had come near, Verona called, "0 Anna, see what I have brought you."

The woman turned around.

"Anna Falk!" I cried.

16

Anna 's ever ready wit prompted her to answer, "Oh, no, Elmer, not Anna Falk; Anna-!"

"Well, you're Anna Falk to me.Âť That evening, as we were sitting about the table after the dishes were washed and the two children put to bed, I told the two girls of Lester Sonn, Esther Huehnerkoch, Arthur Krueger, Frieda John, and Pauline Hafner.

"There, now I know the whereabouts and doings of the Class of '23, except Adelbert Backer. Perhaps you can tell me something of him?"

"Oh, yes, we can do that,Âť Anna replied. "He is buttermaker at Essig. It seems that the people of Essig were not satisfied with anybody except one of the Backer family, so they hired Adelbert to follow his' father's footsteps. His 'Essig's Famous' butter took first prize at the fair last year." ,,Yes, " Verona added, "Adelbert is quite a success as a buttermaker. Just think, people; it is only seven years since our class reunion in 1927, yet how many changes have taken place. " "That's true," said Anna, "with the exception of Verona.

I think she's working too hard or I'm not feeding her well enough. She's getting poorer every year."

Anna's husband proved an appreciative listener as we passed the evening with cheerful banter and recollections of college life. He had many laughs at our expense.

The next morning I continued on my way to my home in Appleton, Minnesota, and in a few days arrived there. One evening, a short time after I had arrived at home, as I sat before my table, I was seized with the impulse to write of the manner in which I had met or heard of the entire class of 1923.

E. K. '23 CLASS WILL Overheard and noted by a silent listener: / " A" Class sat about a table making its last will and testament. Grandfather, Arthur Krueger, took his pen in hand and wro ie, "We, the ;A' Class of Doctor Martin Luther College, City of New Ulm, in the State of Minnesota, being' of sound minds, do make, publish, and declare this to be our 'last will and testament."

He continued writing, "I, Arthur Krueger, bequeath to Guenther Waidelich my ability of correlating; to John Hoffmann, the charge of the music library and the locking of the Aula on Sunday's and free days."

Grandmother, Frieda John, quit chewing her pencil and wrote, "To Carl Witt I leave my faithfulness in organ practice. To the girls 01 the dormitory I bequeath my former popularity which, if divided equally, will give each girl a fair portion. "

THE D. M. L. C. ME,SSENGE-R

17

The only "Sonn" thoughtfully wrote, "T'o Anna Kinden I will my gift of speaking German 'correctly. To Lydia Zempel I leave my talent for drawing for the Messenger."

Mother, Anna Falk, hastily wrote, "To Bertha Wilbrecht I leave my ability of incessant conversing, because, as the saying goes, the more you have, the more you want. My strong determination goes to William Schweppe with the hope that he will use it profitably."

Esther, the oldest daughter, put down, "My profession of organ and piano playing I leave with Emma Roeder; my bubbling good nature, with Alma Hafner."

Verona, next in rank penned the following: "The sarcasm in my possession I bequeath to Viola Oetjen, and to Louise Harms my fondness of sitting and dreaming."

Then Pauline blushingly scrawled, "To Ethel Giziewske I will my blushes and guilty looks, also my second matronship."

Soon Elmer in a business-like manner added, "I will sack up my name 'Nuts' and leave it for the Christmas bags.

To my friend' Chuck' I bequeath my duty of writing belated letters.' , "The youngest son, Adelbert, having decided he was no longer in need of the 'blue and gold' finished the list by adding, "To Helene Heck I bequeath my blue and gold sweater which she may dye if it is too faded. To Kurt Oswald I will my playing for the choir."

"Krueger again took the pen and in the name of the whole Class wrote: â&#x20AC;˘ "To this year's, B, Class and the graduating classes to come, we bequeath the responsibility of setting an example for the younger classmen.

"To the eighth grade nature class, the care of our blue Spruce with the hope that it will thrive well. c : To eleventh grade, our surplus enthusiasm for writing German Compositions.

"To the twelfth grade, our shoes so they will know how "-- it feels to be in 'em.

"The College "buck.s ' slippers to the following generations of 'bucks' to come as long as they will last.

"To Prof. Wagner, the boys leave the confidence he had in them . .;To Prof. Palmbaeh, the ease with which we solved Physics problems.

"To Prof. Bliefernicht, all our deep breaths and interjections of surprise when long Church History lessons and examinations were announced.

"Tio 1he Faculty we extend our thanks for the patience they have shown in instructing us in the past years.

Perhaps

(????) 4.

Christmas eve, and all is still; How different from Christmas on College Hill!

It was already nine a 'clock, and we, the matrons of the Hankow Orphanage, went to the kitchen to order the orphans' Christmas dinner. What was our astonishment when we learned from the cook that she had already received a donation for it! Some one in Hanko w, who had a heart for our orphanage, had sent a big roast. This astonishment seemed mild when our eyes beheld the greeting which was attached: "Christmas greetings from Mr. Paul Rohrke, Stockbuyer, Hankow, China."

The donor had not left the grounds, and we rushed out to see if it could possibly be our classmate. It was the selfsame Paul, but in a moderate form. 'We exchanged a few words, but since he had more packages to deliver, he asked 'us.... to come to dinner the following Sunday, at his home. ,Ve immediately accepted his kind invitation, and before 'we realized it, Sunday had come and we were at the Paul Rohrke home.

After having enjoyed a delicious dinner, our conversation lightly turned to former college days. Rohrke talked of the year 1919, when he had left friends in Hoskins, Nebraska, to enter the ninth grade at D. lVI.L. 0.; of the torments Bertha bad to endure from him during English class; and of the time' 11ehad helped to deprive the entire student body and the faculty of several hours of precious sleep, during the Nebraslea-Minnesota debate.

We then tried to enumerate all who- had come that year, out since it was impossible to think of each one, Rohrke got an old Meesenqer and we scanned it.

Of course, the first one whom Rohrke pointed out to us was his 'Old friend Lehmann, also from Nebraska, who had assisted him in that famous debate. He reminded us of the fact that Lehmann had gone to D. M. L. C. in 1916, but because of homesickness, he left and entered our class in the year 1919. vVe asked Rohrke what had become of our Nebraska farmer. He showed us a paper from Nebraska, telling the astonishing news that Lehmann was pastor of the Bergheim in India. Lawrence always did like hills!

Next we noticed Marie Reuter's name.'. Where was she?

She had left her home in New Ulm 10 act ,t11epart of a deaconess in her first home, Germany.

'I'alking of Germany-that reminded, us 'that our musician, Kurt Oswald, was now in Berlin, directing the cathedral choir.

We wondered whether the voices of his choir members were so high-priced as the instruments of his band boys at D. M. L. C. were.

THE D. M. L. C. MESSENGER

21

The thought of these two class-mates recalled to our minds that there had also been others who had entered the eighth grade at D. M. L. C., with them, in the year 1918.

Among these were Gerhard Albrecht, our celloist and ballplayer, and Laura Meyer, both from New Ulm. Where was Geck? Our latest church periodical informed us of his mission work in Norway. Was it his musical talent that prompted the Norwegians to send him this call?

Laura had the particular advantage of living in her old home, "W aldheim." Her husband was the fireman at D. M. L. C., and she kept the College Marinello Shop. It was of great help in her work that she could manipulate all her electrical instruments with skill, due to her interest for science, particularly for electricity.

How pleasant for her to be so close to Esther Buenger!

Gould you imagine that" Bing," who had entered ninth. grade with us, was now matron or the second Girls' Dormitory, beside Hillcrest Hall? But she did more than supervise the girls. She conducted two Latin, one Spanish, and one Greek period every day. Since she maintained 'her former appetite, she usually went to her home on North Washington Street for her Sunday dinner. The events of the Sunday afternoons are not recorded here.

At this moment, one of Rohrke's famous chickens, voiced a peculiar cackle, and we spontaneously cried, "Bert!."

'I'ruly, we had often missed Bertha Wilbrecht's cheerful laugh.

She was also from New Ulm and had plodded up that hill as a student for the first time in the fall of 1919. And now!

Bertha was living near Washington, D. C. Her husband was a representative in Congress, and she had a full-blood poultry farm. Since it was impossible for her to spend so much time as usual at the Post Office, she had trained one of her ducks to wait at the box and receive the mail.

Another important character, and Bertha's cousin at that!

Gertrude Garbrecht, "Gere von Gar," had also entered our class in nint h grade. Now she was' acting as nurse in the Wheatridge Sanitarium. All people who have met her admire her excellent English Grammar.

Just when we were quite interested in recalling old college scenes, Rohrke's wife informed us that she had prepared a luncheon for us. We at once were willing to partake of it, and we noticed that Rohrke's "pulz" beat faster. What we relished particularly was the cheese she had set before us.

"How could it be otherwise than delicious?" said Rohrke.

"It came from the manager himself. Herbert Hackbart, our former 'Dad,' is manager of 1he colossal cheese factory at Tunnel City, Wisconsin. Our 'Paradise Bird' is not so very far from his old 'Paradise of Wisconsin,' Tomah. Upon whatever inquires 'are put to him about the work, he responds

with his same drawling 'Y-a-h!'"

And where was "Hackey's" companion, Emil John?

"Sweetie" had left the High School and his home in 1\1ankato to' join us in eleventh grade. Now he was living up to his name. He furnished the music for the "Sweet Shop" in Paris.

The three other worthy graduates of 1923 were all from New DIm and had entered ninth grade with us. Karl Witt was teaching the negro children in Alabama. He put particular stress on teaching them to "sing harmony." What an accomplishment!

One of the other "New Ulmers " had also quite a, name for himself. Helmut Hellmann, our great orator, was now preaching in the cathedral at Petro grad. We were told that mice formerly inhabited this place, but all these intruders had deserted the building, since Hellmann's voice sounded and resounded in all nooks and corners of it. Sometimes, owing to his comfortable position in the sacristy, his audience was made 1.0 wait before he would appear on the pulpit.

But the greatest man we had left for the last. Who else was it but Edmund Schweppe? He was a paper hanger in Chicago. However, some firms had great objection to his occupation. Above all, other paper hangers were dissatisfied.

Schweppe could do the work much cheaper, since he had no 'expense for ladders. Then the lumber companies objected, for he never bought a ladder. As a side line, he acted as a fire-whistle for the city of Chicago, for his Indian yell was well adapted to this.

Finally, we talked of the last Arbor Day, twelfth grade .had spent together, planting its little birch, "Dulcis MernDria." What it solemn event it had been! Each member of the class had put one shovelful of ground over the roots, and many tears had been shed over it to make it grow. A bottle, containing a: scroll that recorded the event and the names, was buried 'beneath the roots. The tree now offered shade to both people and cars.

Thus ended our class discourse. It reminded us of our twelfth grade class meetings conducted by Rohrke, when he told of the fat e of each of its members.

We, however, were taken back to the orphanage' in one of Rohrke's ox carts, filled with new courage to carryon our work among the orphans.

With this number we conclude Vol. XIII. of the Messonger, thus bringing 10 a close another epoch in the history of our college paper. We hope that we have succeeded in our aim to please our readers and that our list of subscribers for next year will be infini ely greater t han it was this year. ,lYehave tried our best to make the ilLessonger as interesting and enjoyable as ever, always keeping in mind the standard set by

former editorial bodies. With the entire satisfaction of having performed our duty, therefore, we hand the management of the 111.~cssenge'/'over to the new staff. wishing them equal and greater success than we had.

The editorial staff for the year 1923-'24 is composed of the following: Kurt Oswald Editor-in-Chief Ernest Sprengeler Business Manager Willie Woltrnann Ass't. Business Manager Miss Emma Roeder Exchange Editress Martin Fuerstenau College Notes Editor John Hoffmann Alumni Editor Miss Erna Albrecht Co-Ed. Editress Otto Lackmann Local Editor Immanuel Lenz Athletic Editor William Schweppe Joke Editor We thank the professors, as well as all students and alumni, . who assisted us, during the past year, for the interest shown in our work and hope that this will not cease but continue and remain as alive and full of vigor as it always has been.

BACK TO LIFE I suppose all of my readers remember the article, "Shall the Messenger Live or Did" which appeared in the March issue of last year's 1111essenqer. At that time the Mossenger路 was in a very critical condition; he was at deaths . door.

Death, death, nothing but death was staring at him from all sides. All hope for recovery was vain. The days, the weeks wore on, and, 10 and behold, the crisis was passed. A very Paint smile began to form about his lips. Ah! At this harbinger of recovery, ambitions to bring the sick man back to life were aroused. The students and the deposit treasury made 11 liberal donation; our loyal subscribers paid all arrearages, yes, even advanced their subscriptions; and the places of business provided our advertising depar: ment with ample material. Many thanks to you loyal supporters! You, are the ones who brought the Nlesscnge1'路 back to life.

On June 14, 1922, the MessengC1路 was not breathing the air of a sick-room any more. No, he was strutting out in the open with his hands thrust into his pockets, jingling a few extra coins. , God has also so bounteously blest the work of thiSyear's staff that the M~essenger is in a more robust condition than even before. He is in the prime of life. For all these mercies, we, the staff of the M,essonger_. thank God with all earnestness of heart and pray Him to continue in His grace.

Let me, in the name of the staff, once more thank all the

loyal supporters of the "Messenger."

You have brought him back to life, but now also take care of him, lest the second attack prove fatal.

THE APACHE SCOUT The Apache Scout) the last word in mission work, has just appeared and is now being [ntrodueed to our fellow-christians everywhere. The Apache Scout is published bi-monthly by our missionaries among the Apaches in Arizona. The following quotation from the paper tells its purpose briefly: "It is impossible for us to find all the trails leading to your hearts, to your Christian interests and your sincere co-operation; and we are pinning our faith on the intuition and sagacity of the Scout, not only to find them, but also prevent our ever losing them. Again, if our Mission larder runs low, who could be better equipped to relieve the situation than the Scout? Surely you would not deny him the privilege of bagging an occasional eagle or a handful of baby buffaloes on your private grounds!"

The first number of the Scout is dedicated to the Apache orphans. The orphanage is still in its infancy. It has a total of nine children all under the charge and care of Mr. and Mrs. Knoop. As the orphanage is in great need, the Scout surely was in time and no doubt will help materially in bringing assistance to those little ones.

The next Scout will describe the Mission Boarding School, and we are told that it is the 'intention of the editors to go on in this way and have each number of the Scout portray some special portion of the work among the Apaches. Thus our people will get to know more about the mission and will naturally interest themselves more for it.

The Scout contains a host of information about the mission and is put up in such a way that it cannot fail to catch our eye. It is also impossible that, in reading this compact and meaty little pamphlet and in recalling all that we have heard from the pulpit concerning the missions, our interest should not be aroused from its indolent sleep and we be made willing workers in the cause for which our missionaries are giving every ounce of the energy in them. .

May the Scout grow and prosper and become an important factor in mission work. Apache Scout, Godspeed!

MUDD-LINO THROUGH Muddling through is perhaps one of the greatest faults of to-day. Noone wants to do more than he has to. We might ask, "'Vhat is muddling through ~" The answer will be, "It

THE D. M. L. C. ME,S,SENGE.R

is no thorough preparation before undertaking a task, a trusting to luck, no definite aim in view."

During the Spanish-American War, the United States muddled through and was successful. The soldiers had only the heavy uniforms to wear and were fed on inferior canned goods. They suffered much and nearly as many died of disease as were killed in the war.

Not only do nations, companies or trusts muddle through, but also individuals. To make the example concrete we shall apply it to school work. A student will come to class with his work poorly prepared. Perhaps he is not called upon to recite and he gets away with it. He will try it again. This time he is called upon and he rises and bluffs it.: Or, he may always come with 'his work not well prepared, and)when an examination comes, he crams the night before so that he can pass. He may think he is getting one over on his teacher, but in the end he will be getting one over on himself. The time will come when he can make use of what he has learned, but it will not be at his service because he had not studied to learn anything for the future, and bluffing does not .always help.

Thus we could keep on quoting similar examples.

Muddling Through iSIyour friend for a time, but beware of him; he is deceitful. He will leave you in the lurch sooner or later. The sooner you reject his friendship and accept Earnest Work as your friend, the better for you. Earnest work will always repay you, not only once, but again and again.

Muddling Through is a thing to be ashamed of. It portrays intellectual laziness and false pride.

You have the choice of one of the two friends. Which one will you choose, Muddling Through or Earnest Work ? .

The issue of the Augustana Mirror from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, dated May 10, expresses mainly the sentiments of a Senior Class, which realizes the coming responsibility of life and which appreciates its past college life, knowing that the recollection of college,scenes will shine as a star in the gloomy days that may follow.

Besides doing this, the paper this time tries to acquaint us with the Senior Class of 19'23. Apparently, many of them will be missed by fellow-students, having played an important part in scholastic' arts, as for instance in music, in declamation, and in athletics.

The Characteristic Table and also the Class Dictionary are interesting. They must be so particularly to those who knew the persons concerned.

The Augustana Mirror also announces a few other events, such as the Luther League Convention in Watertown, South Dakota, and various addresses which deal with Lutheran faith and with co-operation in a college.

Judging from the paper's reports, Augustana's athletes are not of the "easy" kind.

Little criticism can be passed this time as to the literary work or even the jokes. The reader may deduct this from the foregoing paragraphs,-it is an announcement number.

We feel grateful to the departing staff for having so faithfully remembered us on their exchange list. We wish all your seniors success. We hope to co-operate just as well with the new staff.

The same may be said to all other exchanges. These are "The Black and Red," " The Wartburg Quarterly," "The Alma Mater," "The Augsburg Echo," "The Concordian," "The Comenian," "The Trumpet," "The Hemnica," and "The Luther Echo.' , We hope to be favored with at least as many in the coming school year!

Band Concerts The D. M. L. C. Band provided some interesting pastime for the students by giving open-air concerts April 21 and May 18..

The opinion has been expressed many times that, considering the players the band is composed of, they are doing fairly well.

This is quite a compliment and ought .to incite them to even greater efforts.-The members of the band herewith express their thanks to all who have helped them financially and made their organization possible.

N. U. F. D. Excurslion The appearance of the hook-and-ladder truck on the campus Tuesday evening, April 23, caused quite a consternation among the boys. Some even were led to the belief that something was on fire and rushed out of the dormitory to witness the spectacle. "Where's the :fire~" was the unanswerable question everybody asked.

Arbor Day April 27 the annual arbor day was celebrated. As usual everybody turned out to help clean the campus. The features of the day were pop and beer in the morning, music by the band at different times during the day, and ice-cream in the evening. The two. graduating classes also planted their class 1 ree, the A-class a hlue-spruce and 12th grade a birch. Everybody seemed to feel much better in the evening when the seven 0 'clock bell rang.

Fire! at Crone's Farm It was on Tuesday evening, May 1, that all lights were suddenly burned out. A heavy rain had just passed and now the students were all outside waiting for the necessary repairs to

32

TiHE D. M. iL. C. M.ES8ENGElR.

be made when suddenly one of them discovered a flame toward the north of the city. This at first appeared to be nothing else but an ordinary street light. However, not long after that another was discovered a little distance from the first.

Then gradually these two fires worked toward each other until the whole space between them was one sheet of flame. The fire continued for nearly two hours and it was still smouldering the next day. It had started when a stroke of lightning hit the big cattle barn belonging to Mr. Crone. The total loss was about 50,000 dollars.

Annual Spring Concert The concert given by the studen: s under the direction of Professor R. M. Albrecht on Friday, May 4, was excellent in every respect. It proved to be very interesting and delightful to the 'audience and every number on the program was applauded vehemently. Some even had to respond with an encore. The program was as follows: l.

However, a good lunch on reaching their destination helped to refresh them路 and by evening all had returned safe and sound. They must have enjoyed the trip very much as the enthusiasm over it was s'ill evident 1 he next day.

E1eVienth Grade at Redstone The Eleventh Grade motored to a place near the Redstone quarry Sunday, May 13. We are told that they passed the time there delightfully at games, fishing, etc. They also had a good lunch. Everybody felt refreshed after the excursion.

Due to Professor Palmhach's efforts, a fine tennis court has

been placed on the west side of our dormitory. We all enjoy the court very much and thank him heartily.

The inmates of Hillcrest Hall eagerly looked forward to Arbor Day. When it came, everyone just beamed with mirth. After a few hours of work, they decided that they could handle a book better than a rake. The following day, groups of girls could be seen on the campus, counting blisters and callouses. .

Mankato enforces her laws very strictly; this Martha and Edna Sievert, Helene Heck, and Lillian Linse experienced, when they motored to that city in Sievert's new car on Ascension Day. Der Abend des ersten Mais stellte sich mit Donner und Blitzen ein, Zum grossen "Unglueck" hatten wir kein Licht.

Schade war's, dass keine Talglichter vorhanden waren. Folglich wurde nicht studiert, Nachdem das Wetter sich gelegt hatte, ergoetzten wir uns, draussen an der Natur und an dem wunderschoenen Minnesota Mai Wetter.

The following attended the May Concert and visited with daughters: Rev. O. Ross and family, Fairmont, Minn., Mr. and Mrs. G. \짜atermann, Sanborn, Minn., Mr. W. \짜ellnitz and relatives, Eden, Minn.

A,family of twelve mice seemed to think the Hafner sisters good hostesses. They worked for their board. This pleased the girls very much. But when the mischievous little creatures scratched the furniture and ruined the waste paper basket, the girls, in a polite manner, handed them their walking papers.

The advantage of the sick-room again was shown, when Lydia Herwig and Verna Wellnitz came down with the measles.

The Sievert sisters decided that Emma Roeder needed recuperation after her strenuous practicing for the concert. She accompanied them to their parental home at' Gibbon, May 5.

They returned the following day.

Rev. and Mrs. H. Lau from Altamont, S. Dak., visited with "Johnny" and "Trudie" on Arbor Day. This does not mean that the girls abandoned their territory and neglected to do their duty.

Lastly, we have a few words to say to our dear sisters, who are leaving us to start a new vocation: "You have filled our dormitory with life and comfort. Without you the past year would not have been what it was. If, in later life, you have a longing for Hillcrest Hall, which you undoubtedly will have, you are welcome at any time."

with relatives and friends in and around Norfolk till school closes, when Professor "Wagner will auto to the Cornhusking State and spend his summer vacation with them.

They will return about the 15th of July.

Mr. and Mrs. H. Goeglein, parents of Mrs. Wagner, are visiting with their sons at Lincoln, Nebr. They intend to stay there until July 1. They partake of the healthgiving sunshine, which is plentiful in Nebr. Prof. Wagner is tickled to death that they will return in time to can sauer-kraut.

Professor Wagner is the proud possessor of a four wheeled tin lizzie, "A Ford." He invested his last cent in the machine, and now has to wear oxfords of 1912. But, nevertheless, he is a happy man, a free man. He maintains he can come and go wherever he pleases, that he does not have to depend upon some one else to get him, and bring him back. Just think what a despised Ford can do.

The baseball season was hailed with enthusiasm this year.

Everyone took part in welcoming it heartily. To start matters, Ernest Sprengeler was elected manager and G. Albrecht captain.

On account of poor weather conditions, the. team was very unfortunate. Practice had to be given up many times. Then the manager had a hard time to get games.

Only one game was played thus far. May 12, our friends from Mankato Commercial College came to New Ulm. Every year so far, Mankato beat our team. On account of this, it was certain that our team would lose. But as the game kept going, it seemed as if our team would have a good chance to win. Up to the fifth inning the score was 4-3, in our favor.

But then luck went against us. Mankato started to pound the ball into every corner of the field. The final score was 16-5. Short, the Mankato pitcher, struck out twelve of our boys and issued only three passes.

The score by innings: 12345 678 9 Mankato 0 1 0 0 2 3 4 2 4-16 D. M. L. C 0 1 1 0 2 0 0 1 0- 5
