The Bethel Clarion
Volume XII BETHEL INSTITUTE, ST. PAUL, MINN. FEBRUARY 8, 1933
Dean Danielson Ordained
at Bethany Church
Council Enthusiastic over Clear Statement of Doctrine
Mr. Danielson Was Asked to Publish Statement of Experience and Beliefs in
Denominational Publications.
"The pure faith and simple admonition of a motherly saint of God
contributed immeasurably more to the establishment of my faith than the
learned advice of all the outstanding religious leaders I had the opportunity
to interview," Professor Walfred Danielson, Dean of Bethel Junior College,
said in effect in the statement of belief and experience at his ordination
service last Friday afternoon.
Mr. Danielson's testimony of his personal experience with Christ, his
early doubts, his later struggles, and his final victory was indeed unique
as well as inspiring and instructive to those who heard him. The account
revealed an unusual sincerity and integrity of spirit, and explained to a
large degree the reason for his loving disposition and spiritual culture.
Doctrinal Statement Lauded
"Our beliefs are anchored in the story of Christ and Him crucified.
He becomes the message of God to men lost in sin, the only hope for
mankind. Christ thus ties the eternity of the past to the eternity of the
future in his redemptive program.
He was from the beginning; he was
the 'I Am' of old. And it is He who
will bring all things to fruition and
to the ccnclusion of perfection in the
end", summarized the candidate in his
doctrinal statement.
Bethel Grieved over Sudden
Death of Mrs. G. A. Hagstrom
President's Wife Overcome by Stroke while Attending
Minister's Meeting
New Financial Program
Proposed for Bethel
Missionary Project to be Offered
Alumni Association
A recommendation that seventy
percent of the support of Bethel
Academy be assumed by the • Minne-sota
churches of our denomination
was drawn up at a meeting held at
Elim church, Minneapolis, Monday
evening, January 30.
Representatives from all the Twin
City churches as well as from some
of the other churches in the state
were present and took part in the
discussion which arose after Dean
Danielson had laid before the group
a clear survey of the financial situa-tion
of the school.
Since about thirty percent of the
Academy students enter into active
Christian service, it will be an oppor-tunity
to the Alumni Association to
assume the responsibilty of this per-centage
of the financial support as a
missionary project.
Clarion Staff Moves
Into New Office
MUSEUM ROOM TRANSFORMED
The Bethel Clarion has added to its
business-like attributes a newspaper
office, located on the second floor of
the Academy—Junior College build-ing,
overlooking the southeast corner
of the campus.
"Fearfully and wonderfully" furn-ished.
the office presents a most dis-tinguished
appearance to the observer:
a roll-top desk, several chairs, and a
study ( ? ) table taken from the
chapel; a typewriter and table kindly
contributed by Mrs. Swedberg; a floor
lamp from the store-room; chairs and
a dictionary the origins of which are
not disclosed; swivel chair from the
basement print-shop; and a calendar
donated by Mr. Beck constitute the in-terior
furnishings of the "Museum."
The intellectual atmosphere is pro-vided
by the book-lined walls and the
half-filled waste-paper baskets.
Truckload of Students
Visit Zinsmaster's
The Boarding Club truck, an Oak-land
coach, and a Chevrolet coupe
transported a group of Bethelites to
the Zinsmaster Bakery, Monday eve-ning,
January 30, for an inspection
of that establishment.
The tour was begun at about 8
o'clock, and covered the entire bakery,
among the most interesting things
seen being the huge Peel ovens, the
heating and cooling of which require
thirty days.
The visit terminated with a lunch
served by the Bakery hostess, and a
"hearty thank-you" song by the
Bethel group.
The statement of belief as well as
that of experience and call to the
ministry was enthusiastically accepted
and approved by the Council. "It is
a rare thing at an ordination to have
the whole outline of Christian doc-trine
presented with such clarity and
conciseness and so strengthened by
Scripture statements. One will find
himself in agreement with it no mat-ter
how you think it through", said
Dr. Hagstrom. Reverend R. A. Ar-lander
made a motion that the state-ment
be published in our denomina-tional
papers, and also be issued in
pamphlet form for distribution among
our young people by the Young
People's Commission.
Council Unanimously Votes
Ordination
The council, consisting of repre-sentatives
from all the Twin City
churches of the denomination, and in-cluding
as well Rev. Olof Lind from
Opstead, a former pastor of the can-didate;
Rev. William Tapper, Grace
Church, Minneapolis; Rev. J. S. Lund-gren,
Superior; and the members of
the faculty of Bethel Seminary,
unanimously voted that Mr. Danielson
-;e ordained.
Dr. Hagstrom Preaches Ordination
Sermon
The ordination service was led by
Dr. Karl J. Karlson, who served as
moderator of the council. Dr. Hag-strom
preached the ordination sermon;
Rev. Olof Lind led in ordination pray-er;
and Rev. 0. Milton Lind gave
the charge to the candidate and the
•ight hand of fellowship.
New Dictionary Is Added
Improvement in Library
To the habitual user of the Acad-demy-
Junior College library it is
gratifying to note the ease with which
one can locate the particular book
wanted. This is due to two factors:
first because the Dewey Decimal Sys-tem
of classification is used; and
secondly because of the efficient serv-ice
given by Miss Nelson, the librar-ian.
Under the Dewey system books
are classified by titles. authors, names,
and subject matter. The books, under
this system, are then catalogued on
cards.
Another added improvement to the
library is a New International Dic-tionary,
1932 edition, which contains
a section devoted exclusively to newly
coined and accepted words.
Faculty members have donated
forty-three books to the library;
others also have donated books mak-ing
a total of one hundred and three.
These books are kept on the reserve
shelf. which is located directly behind
the librarian's desk.

HONORS IN CONTEST
WON BY CONCORDIA
Four academies, Minnehaha, Con-cordia,
Augsburg, and Bethel, were
represented in the declamatory con-test
held here on January 20. There
were two contestants from each school,
Evelyn Clelland and Donald Bersell
representing Bethel. The first place
was awarded Melvin Bucha, from
Concordia Academy, who gave a mas-terly
reading on "Prison Reform."
Margaret Goserud, Minnehaha Acad-emy,
was awarded second place; and
Martin Hauser, Concordia, third place.
Junior College Student
Injured in Accident
While riding on his bicycle to work
last Sunday morning, Donald Clover
was run over by an automobile. Frost
on the windshield had obscured the
vision of the driver.
Clover was taken at once to the
Ancker Hospital where he remained
until Monday morning, when he was
removed to the Deaconess Hospital
in Minneapolis . The extent of his in-juries
is not known as this issue of
the Clarion goes to press, but it is
reported that they are not as serious
as thought at first.
The entire Bethel family and friends
over the whole country are grieved to
learn of the sudden passing of Mrs.
G. Arvid Hagstrom, beloved wife of
our president, who died at the Mounds
Park Sanitarium, five o'clock Monday
afternoon, February 6. This sad news,
coming only a week after the happy
wedding celebration in their home, is
narticularly hard for the members of
the family.
Dr. and Mrs. Hagstrom were pres-ent
with other members of the Twin
City Swedish Baptist Ministers' As-sociation
at the home of Dr. and Mrs.
K. J. Karlson when Mrs. Hagstrom
was stricken with a hemorrhage of
the brain. She was immediately
taken to the hospital where she re-mained
unconscious until death came
two hours later.
Born at Waconia, Minn., January
21, 1865, she had been a resident of
St. Paul 23 years. She is survived by
her husband; a sister, Mrs. 0. E. Lar-s-
n of Minneapolis; a daughter, Mrs.
Leland Melrose of St. Paul; and four
brothers, Charles B. Anderson of
Isanti, Andrew 0. Anderson of Wa-conia,
Fritjof J. Anderson of Stanch-field,
Minn., and John A. Anderson of
Minneapolis.
Dr. and Mrs. Hagstrom celebrated
their fortieth wedding anniversary on
June 1st last year. Their daughter,
Marion, became the bride of Leland
J. Melrose on Jan. 28, less than ten
days ago.
Funeral services will be held at
1:30 P. M. Thursday in the First
Swedish Baptist church, Payne Ave.
and Sims St., with Rev. 0. Milton
Lind, pastor, in charge. Assisting
him will be Rev. R. A. Arlander of
Minneapolis and Dr. Arvid Gordh.
All Bethel mourns with Dr. Hag-strom
and the family. Mrs. Hagstrom
has truly been a "helpmeet" to her
husband, being always ready to com-fort
him in discouragements, to
counsel him when difficult problems
confronted him, and to share with him
the many responsibilities of a public
ministry.
"Her peaceful being slowly passed by
To some more perfect peace."
—Tennyson.
Svea Literary Society
Presents Interesting Program
"I am famous for my thirteen
minute speeches," were the opening
remarks of Professor H. C. Wingblade
at the meeting of the Svea Society,
which was held in the Academy
Chapel, Saturday, February 4. The
speaker, after making a few remarks
about Sven Hedin, world famous
Swedish explorer, and his experience
at the exhuming of the body of
Charles XII, Sweden's great king,
gave a very interesting lecture about
the brilliant Swedish author, August
Strindberg. Hatred, caused by em-bittered
love, characterized the life
of this genius, who was however, a
2.enius "throwii away." In his seven
autobiographical novels, he portrays
life at its worst; the filthy, sordid,
bitter, and lewd life of mankind. "If
Strindberg had early in his childhood
been given the opportunity of living
a clean and wholesome life, instead of
living on beer and whiskey, then, per-haps,
he would have become a Chris-tian,
and an influence for good. rather
than an influence for evil. Then it
would have been true of him," con-cluded
the speaker, "what is true of
a good man, 'this thing is good to be
a man in thy might, to grow straight
in thy strength, and to live out thy
life in His life.' "
Sigurd Forsmark, the president, led
the meeting. John Anderson gave
several readings in Swedish, and Miss
Muriel Nelson favored with two piano
solos.

A Tribute
Our hearts are bowed ; our spirits droop at
half-mast ; not that we would question Heaven's
ways ; not that we would grieve overmuch, for our
grief is sweetened by the faith that our loss is
Heaven's gain ; but we bow before this painful,
inscrutable mystery of the passing of a noble life,
a life that we reluctantly surrender. There will
be a vacant chair in the banquet halls of Bethel ;
a face of radiant sweetness will no more appear ;
a queenly presence shall no more grace our festive
board; a voice of tender, motherly solicitude has
been silenced in the halls of our endeavor ; a light
has gone out and left us sickly groping in a gloom.
She has gone from our halls, yes, but not from
our hearts ; for there time will ne'er efface her
smile ; there the fragrance of her presence will
ever sweeten and ennoble ; there that feeling voice
will eternally encourage and inspire ; there the
light of her Christian influence shall never flicker
nor fade. Her life was a benediction among us,
and, as distance lends enchantment, memory
shines a glowing halo around that benediction.
We here raise a monument to Mrs. Hagstrom ; we
here inscribe a bronze to her memory ; with all
sincerity and reverence we leave this wreath.
May it never wither. To those whose hearts
have been all but crushed by this blow ; into whose
hearts this shaft has sunk too deeply and bitterly ;
to Dr. Hagstrom and Marion we can only say, we
know, we feel, we pray that God will heal.
A Privilege
The annual convention of the Minnesota
Student Volunteer Union to be held here February
24-26 will be one of the most important events
on our Seminary calendar, not only because of
the honor and responsibility conferred upon our
Student Volunteer Band in the entertainment of
the Convention, but because it will remind us of
the work and of the importance of the Bethel
group.
Due to the quiet and unassuming manner of
the Volunteer Organization, there is a tendency
to overlook the influence which it exerts within
the school and in the various churches where
meetings are conducted. The value of such a
group in maintaining spiritual life among the
students is inestimable and should be recognized
by giving whole-hearted support and cooperation
in all its activities. During the coming conven-tion,
we shall have the opportunity to support our
Band and at the same time to gain spiritual in-spiration,
by attending the sessions which are
open to visitors.
THE BETHEL CLARION
Who's Who
Mrs. Erland Lind
Mrs. Erland Lind was called to
Bethel in the spring of 1929 to fill the
vacancy in the Public Speaking De-partment.
She has continued to teach
Expression and Public Speaking, both
in the Academy and the Bible and
Missionary Training Department, with
the exception of one year. Mrs. Lind
was born in Cannon Falls, Minn., re-ceiving
her early training at Maple
Plain and Detroit, Minn. She gradu-ated
from Gustavus Adolphus Acad-emy
and College and later pursued
graduate work in the University of
Chicago. She studied Expression in
the Curry School of Expression and
the Emerson College of Oratory in
Boston.
Mrs. Lind has had a wide experience
—having taught six years in Minne-sota
public schools, six years at Gus-tavus
College, and six years at Minne-sota
College.
Mr. and Mrs. Lind have for a num-ber
of years made their home in
Minneapolis, in which city Mr. Lind
practices law. Mr. and Mrs. Lind are
both actively engaged in church work.
The public programs given by the
expression department in the chapel
are a splendid testimony of the high
ideals which Mrs. Lind seeks to foster
in her pupils.
Henry Drummond on Courtesy
"The fifth ingredient of love is a
somewhat strange one to find in this
summum bonum: Courtesy. This is
Love in society, Love in relation to
etiquette. 'Love doth not behave itself
unseemly.' Politeness has been de-fined
as love in trifles. Courtesy is
said to be love in little things. And
the one secret of politeness is to love.
Love cannot behave itself unseemly.
You can put the most untutored per-sons
into the highest society, and if
they have a reservoir of Love in their
heart, they will not behave themselves
unseemly. They simply cannot do it.
Carlyle said of Robert Burns that
there was no truer gentleman in
Europe than the ploughman-poet. It
was because he loved everything—the
mouse, and the daisy, and all the
things, great and small, that God had
made. So with this simple passport
he could mingle with any society, and
enter courts and palaces from his
little cottage on the banks of the Ayr.
You know the meaning of the word
`gentleman.' It means a gentle man
—a man who does things gently with
love. And that is the whole art and
mystery of it. The gentleman cannot
in the nature of things do an un-gentle,
and ungentlemanly thing. The
ungentle soul, the inconsiderate, un-sympathetic
nature cannot do any-thing
else. 'Love doth not behave
itself unseemly.' "
—From "The Greatest Thing
in the World"
February 8, 1933
The Book Corner
By H. C. Wingblade
A helpful book in the way of religious inspira-tion
is THE GOSPEL FOR AN AGE OF THOUGHT
by A. Z. CONRAD (Fleming H. Revell Company,
Chicago). In this book the author shows that the
Gospel of Jesus Christ can stand the most rigorous
scrutiny and submit to the most thorough-going
tests, and come out victorious, provided the mind is
honestly seeking the truth in the matter.
The author emphasizes the tremendous fact that
Jesus is real, vitally real, that by the soul laboratory
method of personal experience the human heart can
know beyond any peradventure of doubt that there
is One who does care. There is an overshadowing
Personality, who is "mighty to save."
The author points out that some of the greatest
thinkers, such as Hume, Kant, and Arnold, lack in-spiration
both for themselves and their readers;
whereas the great Christian poets, for instance, con-stitute
an enduring supply.
Finally, the striking contrast between life's fail-ures
and life's successes drives home to the heart
of the reader the question of what can be the under-lying
reason. The reason is that the victors dwell
"in the secret of His presence."
No one can read even a chapter of this book
without getting a blessing. Try it. You will find
the book on the reserve shelf.
Much Ado .
An Appreciation
Gratitude is like a rare jewel, it is seldom manifest.
We wish to express our appreciation and gratitude to our
worthy faculty, who have labored so patiently and have
been so willing to impart to us of their abundance of
knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. Often we, as
students, take them for granted and neglect to show ap-preciation
for the many courtesies which our faculty
members show us.
—Grateful.
A Box For Ideas?
One school of which we know has a suggestion box
where students and others may deposit any ideas they
may have on possible improvements in the school. What
about having something like that at Bethel? No doubt
many have ideas which, if expressed to the right persons,
would benefit the whole school.
—How About It ?
D-U-S-T
Dust, dust everywhere, in the air, in the lungs, on the
clothes and on the floor! That is the condition of things
in our gymnasiums, especially the one in the Seminary
building. I do not think that such a state of affairs is
very conducive to health, not to say cleanliness. Is it
necessary for the students to be exposed to all this dust
and dirt, or is there some way in which this evil can be
remedied ?
—Dust-Eater.
Think On These Things
I3y Esther Sabel
The Secret of Happiness
In His Word, God commands, demands, certain
things which at first sight may appear unreasonable. For
example, in Ephesians 5:18 we have the command, "Be
filled with the Spirit. - We can easily fulfil the first part
of that verse which bids us "be not drunk with wine";
that means that we need only abstain from drinking wine;
but surely we are not able to comply with a command
to "be filled- with the Spirit.
And then God requires "Grow in grace and in the
knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ"—
II Pet. 3:18. How can we grow in response to an in-junction
that we grow? Physically, we cannot add a
cubit to our stature by taking thought therefor: how can
we be required to "grow" in the knowledge of Christ?
And God bids us to "desire the sincere milk of the
Word that ye may grow thereby"-1 Pet. 2:2. Can we
desire that which we are directed to desire; is not desire
mostly an involuntary thing?
But in Proverbs 11:23 we have the secret: "The
desire of the righteous is only good." It is a matter of
character. If we are righteous. if we are right with God
and His righteousness dwells in us, we shall desire that
which is good—we shall desire the sincere milk of the
Word, and by it we learn to know our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ and knowing Him and His "love which
passed? knowledge, (we are) filled with all the fulness of
God, - filled with His Spirit.
"Get right with God'', then, is the first imperative
need if we have a life filled with His fulness.

CONCORDIA COMETS DEFEAT
BETHEL ACADEMY 23-11
Concordia remained undefeated in
the Twin City Academy League as a
result of their convincing 23-11 vic-tory,
Saturday evening, January 21.
The floor play and passing of the
Bethelites was not up to form, and
the late futile efforts to score left
the Comet shooters free to register
baskets. Bethel fought an uphill
battle throughout, being able to tie
the score on only two occasions in the
first half. Each time the Concordia
crew was able to pull away and pile
up sufficient points to leave the out-come
of the game little in doubt after
the second half got under way.
Peterson and Schmidtk led the blue
and gold team with four field goals
and one free throw each. Koch was
the outstanding player on the Bethel
outfit, scoring three field goals and
sinking one gift shot. The playing
f Toensing and Wallin also merits
praise.

Trips Bethel 44-19
The league-leading Concordia
Junior College team had little dif-ficulty
in winning from the Bethel
boys at the double header game there
January 21. The Bethel team started
out as if it were to hand Concordia
its first conference defeat by taking
an early lead, which they were able to
keep only through the first quarter.
At the beginning of the second quar-ter
Koch, star guard of the Academy
team replaced Peterson of the Junior
College, and played well against his
superiors. The score at the end of
the first half was 31-9 in favor of
the visitors.
Throughout the second half the
C-ncordia team displayed a remark-able
defense which the Bethelites
were unable to pierce to any great ex-tent.
Thom of Concordia was high
point man with fifteen points. Bert-ram
and Krueger of the visitors also
played well. Earl Widen and Frankie
Nelson turned in nice performance for
the home quint.

One reason why the Academy team

Academy Loses to St. Paul
Luther in Comedy Tilt 37-10
The disorganized Bethel team
traveled to the Lutheran boys' gym
last Friday to take the worst beating
they have taken in a conference game
in two years. The taller and more
experienced Luther team ran up a
19-1 lead in the first half and were
not threatened during the whole game
except for a comic burst of speed in
the last three minutes of play. The
faster playing started when Marvin,
Dickau, and Holmberg were sent in
by Earl Widen, who was acting as
coach in the absence of Ray Nelson
who was out of town. The remain-ing
Bethel players and a few rooters
started the cheering when the Marvin,
Dickau, Holmberg trio were sent in,
but soon the whole house was roar-ing
at the fight put up by the team
against Luther. Dickau was in every
s'!ramble, seeming to watch every-body
at once and playing a fine of-fensive
game. Bethel also has two
new additions to the squad, Bob Nel-son,
and George Johnson both who
have had basketball experience at
Johnson High.
Bethel College Defeats
College Boys Show
Coach Nelson's college five showed
the best form of the season when they
defeated Bethany J. C. 28-20. The
Bethel team played superior ball all
evening, their bail handling and shoot-ing
being remarkably accurate in
comparison with some of their former
showings. The visiting team's play-ing
was outstanding by the remark-able
showing of Reetz, who played
,...enter. He seemed to be covering
every player at once, and showed re-markable
speed in dribbling. He was
also high point man for the evening,
scoring fcurteen out of his team's
,,wenty points. The rest of the
Bethany team fed Reetz who de-served
the honor by sinking most of
his shots. The scoring for Bethel
was distributed among the whole team
Luther Cagers Smother Bethel, 42-26
Bethel lost a hard fought game to
the league leading Luther team Satur-day
night at the Luther gym.
Johnson started the scoring for
Bethel by sinking a field goal, but the
team was unable to keep up the good
work and the score was 15-5 in favor
of Luther at half-time.
As a result of a good "pep" talk
given by Coach Nelson, the boys from
Bethel held their opponents down and
they scored only one point more than
the boys from Bethel during the
second half.
Schlochty, playing forward for
Luther, was the star of the game,

of Bethel, who, although making
only three points, played a strong de-fensive
game. The boys of the Red

Widen, seemed to be afraid to take
long shots. Though this may be wise
basketball on some floors, on a small
floor it would be far better to at-tempt
some long shots.

Dormitory Men Stage Impromptu
Party
An impromptu party, sponsored by
Jack Anderson and Vern Wessman,
was given Wednesday evening, Jan-uary
25th, in the room of the Cadillac
boys in honor of Bror Lundgren and
Phil Backstrom, who left for their
homes on the Atlantic coast the fol-lowing
morning.
After the bachelor lunch of toasted
sandwiches and coffee had been served,
Vern and Jack played Jew's harp and
mouth-organ duets in their inimitable
manner, and then the party adjourned
to the main hall where Walt Watkin
entertained and directed the water
stunts.
Rousing cheers for the two boys
were given, followed by a farewell
song, after which Bror and Phil each
gave a speech, expressing their thanks
for the good time they had and their
sadness on having to leave. "Next
fall can't come too soon for me," said
Bror, who hopes to return to Bethel
at that time.
Both of the boys were obliged to
discontinue their studies for a semes-ter
for financial reasons. Backstrom
will complete his education in a school
nearer his home, according to his
present plans.

Miserables". Now the work of other
classes will be done—we hope.
While studying parts of speech in
English III class, Prof. H. C. Wing
blade asked Lorraine Johnson what

ardent wooer won her hand." After
some hesitation Lorraine replied,
"Well, it means he got her."
The student body extends its heart-felt

Wise and Otherwise
A Student's Advice
Since our report cards have come
out, many of us have been at a loss
as to what to do. Here is a sugges-tion:
When you get A's DO NOT go to
the office to see if there is a mistake.
When you get B's be thankful.
When you get C's concentrate (on
your teachers or on your own books).
When you get D's—as a last resort
—study.
When you get E's get a job as a
tutor or marry a rich (wife) (hus-band).
Obviously
Prof. Nordstrom: "What is one of
the uses of sulphur ?"
Student: "Match making."
Prof. Nordstrom: "Sometimes that's
a dangerous thing."

THE INQUISITIVE REPORTER
What in your opinion contributes
most to create and maintain a real
school spirit ?
Academy Student:
Cooperation in all social and other
school activities; also the abolishing
of self-centred minds."
Seminary Student:
"Faith in one's school coupled with
a sincere desire to advance its stand-in
z in the eyes of God and man."
Junior College Student:
"I would say: first, a genuine and
wholehearted feeling that our school
is our school; and second, a sympathy
that seeks to know and understand
each member on our roll."
B. and M. T. Student:
"An unselfish love for our school
that compels us always and every-where
to live and work to establish
the highest ideals possible."
Faculty Member:
"My opinion is that individually
strong wills to work or watch, com-mend
or quietly excuse, lead or follow,
to do whichever action seems fit—
makes for school spirit."
