Camp Ihduhapi, nestled among rustically beautiful, snow covered
bills, was the site of the Sophomore Retreat. The three-day program,
beginning with arrival Friday afternoon, Jan. 20, and continuing through
until Sunday afteinoon, the 22nd, included a variety of activities, rang-ing
from skating, tobogganing, playing games and putting on talent
shows, to spending time in prayer and Bible study together,
Although the hills, cabins, lodge and mess hall resounded with
laughter most of the time, the part
of the Retreat which will longest
be remembered by most of the
fifty who were there, was the
spiritual awakening and kindling
of revival fires in many hearts.

Revival Fires
e Resounds Again
The power of God in the ministry
of pastor Harold Carlson, was mani-fest
in unmistakable ways as he
brought truths from the book of
Colossians. One girl a cc e p t e d
Christ as her Saviour and three
more found assurance of salvation
they had never had before.
Testimonies of confession, main-ly
about neglected private devo-tions
and insufficient time spent
in prayer, as well as testimonies
of reconsecration and victory for
renewed joy and peace with 'God,
characterized the faggot service
Saturday night and worship service
Sunday morning.
Opportunities to testify to camp-ers
from the other groups at Ihdu-hapi,
to the camp staff and to ice
fishermen on the nearby lake were
made use of. The spirit of fellow-ship
within the group proved afresh
the happiness there is to be had in
putting things right with God.
There was much fun and frolic in
the snow, on the "log", and in the
programs of entertainment provid-ed
by Sophomore talent and plan-ned
by Marilyn Kortun and her
committee of Bobbe Lou Cooper,
Dorothy Johnson, Irene Kley, Art
Bergeson, Paul Dubuque, Ken Gull-man
and Chuck Lindberg. Meals,
such as turkey and trimmings,
satisfied hungry campers physical-ly,
but above all, and most import-ant
of all, the power of the living
God reached to their inward parts,
searching hearts and stirring with-in
them fires of revival.

The largest X-Ray survey to be
made by the stationary unit at the
Ramsey County Public Health Cen-ter
was made this week when Bet-hel
students, faculty, and workers
made use of the facilities. This
X-Ray service was provided for by
the Christmas Seal Fund and was
just one step in the endeavOr to
enlarge the health service at
cchool.
Fifty X-Rays were made in each
half hour trip and both buses were
used. The information cards will
be returned to the students and
if they are requested to return
for a more thorough X-Ray it also
will be administered free of charge.
Free X-Rays are given the year
around to the public every Wednes-day
and Thursday, from 3-5 p.m.
except the first Wednesday of the
month.
School Orchestra
In the Making
With the arrival of Mr. Valdeko
Kangro and Mr. Kaijo Raid on
campus there was the question in
the minds of many students as to
whether or not there would be a
school orchestra.
An orchestra organizational meet-ing
was held and since that time
progress has been slow, but Mr.
Kangro, director, believes that if the
students who have been coming
out, would continue and those who
do not think they can) play well
enough would come out and try,
that before long there would be
a fine orchestra with which to
work.
Many problems confront pros-pective
members. Mr. Kangro is
willing to have the practice any time
that is convenient for the students.
He will help those who need
special practice sessions, assisting
them in any way.
As for academic credit for this
activity, there is none yet, but if
enough students come out, Mr.
Kangro is certain credit can be ob-tained
in much the same manner
as other music courses.
February 2, at eight p.m.,
of sacred and classical music.
Shea and Bert Anderson, are
new to the campus.
Activity Department
Fulfilling Its Aim
The Christian Activities depart-ment,
under the direction of Gene
Johnson, has as its aim: "Let all
serve who will serve." Fulfilling
this aim has kept the department
in constant action since the be-ginning
of the school year.
Over 100 different churches, mis-sions,
homes and hospitals have
been benefited already this year by
being supplied with Bethel's talent.
Eight complete gospel teams are
now active, their membership be-ing
drawn from the student body.
Approximately 275 assignments
have been filled. This number in-cludes
only those on record in the
office, and not those s e r ving
through personal contacts. Al-though
about 300 students have
been Out since September, this
still leaves half of the student
'body inactive.
For one particular Sunda y,
chosen at random, there were 12
requests called into Helen Frank-lin,
Gene's secretary, and she was
able to fill them all. This included
gospel teams, Junior. church work-ers,
children's speakers and spec-ial
music.
The Christian Activities office
is anxious to use all those eager to
serve. Blue slips on which students
could indicate their desire to serve
were passed out earlier in the
school year. Some of them have
not yet been turned in to the
office and it is hoped this situa-tion
will be remedied by those
responsible.
The concert will be an opportuni-ty
for Bethlites to expose them-selves
to a little extra-curricular
culture as part of school life. The
committee which has made the ar-rangements
for this concert is
headed by Bud Weber. Other mem-bers
are Wally Burke and Beverly
Lewis, whose efforts have aided in
making the presentation of this
concert possible.
The success, however, will be de-termined
by the response of the
student body. In order to make it
easy for the concert to be a suc-cess
for all, it will be semi-formal,
so if the ladies wish, they may
dress formal, otherwise "Sunday
best" will be appropriate. The most
important thing for Bethelites to
remember is to be at the concert
and prepared to enjoy an evening
of music presented by exceptional
musicians. Tickets are available
at the table in the hall of the col-lege
building.
Foreign Education
German Club Topic
Germany club meeting was held
Tuesday, Jan. 17, at which time
there was group singing and read-ing
of the twenty-third psalm in
German. A solo was sung by Aud-rey
Ekdahl and informative talks
were given by Thorleif Aunevik
and Johannes Niemeyer concern-ing
the educational systems of Nor-way
and Holland.
Larger attendance is expected at
future meetings that the benefits
of them may be had b7 more who
are interested in the German lan-guage.'
Needs of Ethiopia
China and the World
Pressed by Speakers
Rev. James Luckman, who along
with Rev. Sten Lindberg was in-strumental
in securing fields for
our Conference in Ethopia, brought
the student body a challenge first-hand
from that country. The in-formation
he gave was very fact-ual
concerning both the missionary,
his preparation and spiritual needs,
and the problems of the field it-self.
His vision was not limited to
this field alone, however. His
greatest emphasis was upon getting
the message of God out to those
who have never heard, whether in
this country or across the seas.
"We are ambassadors for Christ,"
he said, "and we represent the
kingdom of heaven. Men are going
to judge the place we represent
by our actions."
A heart searching incident he
related was the time a native came
to him asking him how long he
had known of the story of the Gos-pel,
and how long we in the United
States had known it. When told
we knew it in our country for over
three hundred years, he queried,
"Why haven't you told us of it be-for
now?" It is very embarrassing
not to have an answer for such a
question.
Rev. Clyde W. Taylor, Director
of Affairs and Representation for
the NAE in Washington, addressed
the students on Thursday morning
and evening and held individual
conferences with them in the after-noon.
The missionary week is being
climaxed today by messages from
Rev. Sten Lindberg, a mighty man
of God, and one who has counted
no sacrifice too great for the cause
of the Gospel.
Committee Seeks
Band Leader
With a school band in mint as
their latest goal, the Committee on
School Spirit under the auspices
of the Student Council, is endeavor-ing
to locate students interested
in this project and secure one of
them as band leader.
Moving the trophy case to a more
prominent place of view than its
present location at the rear of the
college chapel would foster school
spirit, the committee feels, and is
planning accordingly. Cheerleader
selection and the purchasing of
cheerleader uniforms were includ-ed
in the committee's responsi-bilities
last fall.
Their hand was in the planning
of pep fest programs, and they had
charge of the half time activities
at the Homecoming game. Bob
Stassen, chairman, with Howie
Carlson and JoAnne Johnson as-sisting
him, made up the present
committee. They indicated that
students having suggestions for the
furthering of school spirit should
contact them.

Missionary Band president, looks on.

"Prayer changes things". The proof of
this statement is unquestionably seen in a
study of the early Church. Things were
changed . . . the whole known world was
being turned upside down, or rather right
side up, within a comparatively few years.
The secret of it all . . . prayer!
A glimpse into the book of Acts will re-veal
the "daily" things of the early Church,
among which, prayer had a preeminent
place. No doubt, most of us realize the
place and importance of prayer in our per-sonal
lives. We are admonished and remind-ed
of that fact by ministers, missionaries
and lay men, as well as the sense of need
that arises out of our own hearts.
CONTINUING PRAYER
This is not another sermon on how to
pray or why pray, but rather an admonition
to continue in prayer and supplication.
As most of us are aware of, there are
several prayer towers conveniently located
about the campus, and these are provided
for those who so desire to use them. It
is obvious that many students will not
be on the campus enough to avail them-selves
of the opportunity, but for those who
are, it proves to be an oasis in the heat of
the school day.
NEED FOR MORE PRAYER
Since the 'beginning of the school year,
there have been but a few persons who have
signed .up for the use of these roms. Per-haps
many enter without signing up for
any particular hour. But if the list of names
is any indication, the prayer towers are in
need of-more frequent occupations.
PRAYER SUGGESTIONS
At any rate, there is much to be con-cerned
about it in the near future; the
affect of Mis.sions_Eraphasis Week, the fact
approaching Founder's Week, and later on
Deeper Life Week. Let us help prepare
the--speakers as well as our own hearts for
the messages God has in store for us.
"Praying always -with all prayer and sup-plication
in the Spirit, and watching there-unto
with all perserverence and supplication
for all Saints" Eph. 6:18.
ON
BURNER
Here's that letter that I promised to write
you last week, but just didn't get it written.
It was midquarter time here again and of
course I, with a few others (not to mention
names) had some last minute cramming to
do! Midquarters are pretty rough, at least
for some of us. Poor Art Bergeson set his
alarm for seven, but somehow it just didn't
cooperate.
It's cold here all right. Speaking of the
weather reminds me of the weather ball on
the bank building in Minneapolis. My room-mate's
fiance has logically worked out his
own interpretation for the various colors.
White means hot because the hottest type
of heat is white heat; green stands for
cold because cucumbers are green and one
thinks of "cool as a cucumber"; red? . . .
well, the weather ball is on top of a bank
building and when a bank is insolvent it's
"in the red" and "in the red" means no
change.
Coughing, sneezing, red noses, hot water
bottles, cough drops and what have you—
a bad cold! Some good advice was given
Laurie. Shade for a head cold a few days
ago.. She was told to eat all the onions that
she could eat. For one thing onions have
calories and calories make you warm. When
you have a cold it's hard to breathe and
onions will give you a strong breath.
Some girls actually believe in staying
in at night to study. They have named them-selves
the "campus queens"—or is it the
"campused queens." Eight lucky girls ! Their
rules, such as—parties are permissible any
time, frying eggs (Hanna Janke, please
note) at 11:30 in your room is o.k., no
lights-out, no monitors, etc., etc.—are post-ed
on the "housemother's" (e. g. Helen
Dahl's) door. Sounds like they'll get lots
of studying done!
Art Hage is never lucky enough to get
what he wants in chow-line, so it seems.
Last night he just missed getting the last
pork chop!
Wesley Peterson has discovered a new
hair oil that, when applied in three ap-plications,
will keep hair from blowing in
the wind. Of course I'm not so sure that
this new hair oil would prove useful in
rainy weather. You see, it bears a slight
resemblence to Fitche's shampoo. Ronnie
Berry, is that what you use, or just what
you recommend for extra special dinner
dates?

Missionary Story
Professor Olson recently presented this
story to his class in the history of mis-sions:
A retired 'missionary who had seen many
years of service in the foreign field was
confronted by a young missionary candi-date
who asked him what were considered
MANNERS —
Good manners are not only a pre-requisite
to popularity, but an essential to a win-ning
Christian personality. How often has
a slip in manners or grammar been a
reproach to the Lord we serve? How often
have we repeated, "Whatsoever ye do in
word or deed, do all in the name of the
Lord Jesus . . ." and then carelessly offend-ed
someone for whom Christ died by a
thoughtless action?
Words and writing on etiquette often
meet with resentment and a "who-do-they-think-
they-are-to-lecture-us-on-manners" at-titude.
But it is notably those whose man-ners
could use the most polishing who are
loudest in their objection to any attempts to
improve them.
From Correct Conduct for Career and
Colleges, a pamphlet edited by Emily Post,
come a few rules of etiquette $,re might like
to refresh our manner-memories with.
By way of reminder, we introduce a girl
to a man, using both their names : "Miss
Anderson—Mr. Benson:" a younger person
to an older: "Mr. Elder—John Young."
Expressions such as "shake hands with,"
"I want to make you acquainted with",
"Charmed," and "Pleased to meet you," are
not considered proper. On being introduced,
"How do you do," is an accepted reply, and
a sincere "I'm glad to meet you" is a grac-ious
response.
On what occasions should a man rise from
his seat? He should always stand in the
presence of a lady who is standing; also
when shaking hands with anyone.
As for manners on the street, a primary
rule of good breeding is don't attract atten-tion
to yourself. Don't talk too loudly; talk
across people; make personal remarks that
might offend someone, or call out -a name
in public unless absolutely unavoidable.
Should a man remove his hat in an eleva-tor?
He removes his hat in the elevator
of a private building (apartment, club,
hotel) in the presence of ladies. He should
not remove his hat in the elevator of a
store or office building.
Is it proper for a girl to always wait for
the man with whom she is walking to open
a door for Her? Not necessarily. But if
it is a-heavy door, he hurries ahead of her
to open it.
These are just a few of the little details
of mannerly living . Let us, as His am-bassadors,
seek to shine in all phases
of life, to the praise of His glory.
the most necessary things to accomplish in
one's first year of missionary service.
"You go there," the veteran missionary
replied, "and love the people."
"And the second year?" the candidate
asked eagerly.
"You stay there—and love the people,"
came the quiet reply.
"But after that?" the young man ques-tioned
impatiently.
"Remain there," came the firm and know-ing
reply, "and love the people."
MI5 of ZEbougbt
By President Wingblade
How true it is that without a vision in-dividuals
and nations will perish. The mean-ing
of life to you and me depends upon
how far we see.
We are told of a wealthy young man who
was very much interested in horses. He
owned a large number of horses, and his
delight was to train them for racing. But
the sad part was that he knew very little
about the animals. Therefore, he was un-able
to choose horses that would make
good race horses. Yet he carried on and
endeavored to produce them.
One day an elderly man, who had spent
a lifetime with horses and loved them and
knew all about them, visited this young
man's place. He saw what he was trying
to do, and he also saw that he knew very
little about it.
He pointed to one horse that the young
man was preparing for the racetrack, and
said to him, "Sir, you have made a very
poor choice. This horse will never make a
race horse. Try as you will, train as you
may, this horse will never make the races."
The wealthy young man remonstrated,
and said, "Why won't this horse make a
good race horse? How can you tell the dif-ference?
He seems all right to me."
The experienced horse trainer replied,
"Come, let me show you. The horse that
you have chosen is dull of eye—not clear
of vision." Then taking him to another
horse nearby, he said, "Here is a horse that
would make a good race horse. Look into
those eyes. See that faraway look. That is
a sign of the race horse."
The wealthly young man was so impres-sed
that he hired this experienced horse-man
and made him the trainer of his
stables—the one who was to choose the
horses and prepare them, for the racetrack.
And through the years he found it to be a
good investment.
The late Gifford Pinchot, an intimate
friend of Theodore Roosevelt, and the first
forest conservator that America has had,
once addressed a mass meeting of men.
Upon being introduced, he leaped to his
feet and propounded the question, "What
makes the difference between men? One
of the head of a great enterprise and the
other is down in the ranks somewhere. One
is governor of a state and the other may
be in the penitentiary. What •makes the
difference?" Then he answered the ques-tion
himself in two words, "Vision and will-power."
We who are Christians know that the
vision for our pathway and for our hearts
comes from that light which never yet was
seen on sea or land—not of the moonlight,
not of the starlight, not of the sunlight—
.but that light which streams through the
living Spirit. And we also know that the
power which drives and is able to make us
more than conquerors is that power which
comes from a risen Christ—even through
the power of the living Spirit.
And that Light and the Power has been
the illumination and the strength of those
who have trod this earth in other years
and made it to tremble with their tread.
Who follows in their train?
Thar She Blows Again . . . Wind from Lind by Harold Lind
Last Saturday night at the Minneapolis
Youth For Christ, I was thinking about
Billy Graham's message and hit upon a won-derful
truth from the Lord. It was this: We
read in the third chapter of I Kings about
how Solomon prayed earnestly to the Lord
for wisdom. He didn't pray for an under-standing
of Homiletics or for a three point
sermon for the next day, but he did pray
for wisdom. In contrast, Billy Graham has
reminded me of Solomon in this one feature
what the Bible says in I Kings 3:10 "And
the speech pleased the Lord." It was this
that the Lord was pleased with and in
Billy Graham's preaching I clearly saw how
the Lord would be pleased, for it wasn't
his (Graham's) interpretation of the Word;
it wasn't his, story of Noah and how the
flood took place; but the story from the
Word of God with the Spirit moving in
great abundance upon the crowd. There-fore
we see that lips dedicated to the
Lord's service will be speaking forth His
praises and "the speech pleased the Lord."
Here at school, many have felt the power
of the Spirit work in their own lives, Praise
the Lord, and I believe the Psalmist has
something to say to us in the words found
in the eighty-fifth Psalm for each Christian
to say that "I' will hear what God the Lord
will speak: for He will speak peace unto
His people, and to his saints; but let them
not turn again to folly." Let me illustrate
what the Psalmist has already said.
Way out West, there is a small rail-road
station named E-U-R-E4-L-I-A. The
conductor and brakeman never have
argeed as to the correct pronunciation
of the name. The result is that the con-ductor
comes through the cars annoimc-ing,
"You're-a-liah, You're-a-liah."
The brakeman follows right on his
heels, calling with great fervor, "You-really-
ah, you-really-ah!"
So it is when on a train that we would
listen to hear what station is being called
so we will not ride past our stop. Let
us therefore keep in tune with Jesus, listen-ing
to hear Him speak, so that we will
not by pass a station of service for Him.
Following, is the second letter on the
topic, "What Speech Means To Me" that
c• omes from Rev. Carl H. Lundquist, Pastor
of the Elim Baptist Church, Chicago,
Illinois:
"It has been my privilege to spend
seven years in active interscholastic
forensic work-3 years in high school
and 4 in college. I believe this period
of -training has been one of my most
invaluable preparations for the Chris-tian
ministry. Forensic experiences have
taught me how to look for both sides
of a question, how to do research work
for basic source material, how to out-line
and organize talks, how to speak
extemporaneously without notes, and
how to do some measure of thinking
while on my feet. I believe speech and
forensic activity ought to be required
studies for every ministerial student
and am happy for the increasing em-phasis
put upon this work at Bethel."
In closing I would like to leave with you
a though for the day from Phillips Brooks
who said, "The only real way to "Prepare
to meet thy God" is to live with thy God, so
that to meet Him shall be nothing -strange."
Sports Sketch
Gordon Wood, 20 year old sopho-more,
came to Bethel this year
from Centralia (Wash.) Junior Col-lege.
Wood is a varsity guard on
the Indian basketball squad, a posi-tion
at which he has displayed
his skill as a competent ball-hand-ler
and set-shot artist. Bud Pierce,
also a guard, played with Wood
at Centralia J. C., and their com-bined
talents on the basketball
court have been an influencing fac-tor
in the Indian five's successes
this year.
Three years of varisity high
school ball at Chehalis (Wash.)
high school gave Gordy the oppor-tunity
to develop and demonstrate
his abilities in the field of basket-ball.
Introduced to college ball at
Centralia J. C.,- Wood, as Bethel
fans have observed, is at present
a speedy and tricky opponent.
Five feet nine inches tall, Wood
is definitely an asset to the Bethel
five, in the opinion of hiS fellow
players as well as in the opinion of
the student body.
Gordy feels that basketball with
the Indians cagers and with Coach
Edwards is a valuable experience
in his athletic life.
Looking forward to a future con-nected
in some way with sports,
Gordy is planning on a physical
education major and a mathematics
minor.

Remember to attend tomorrow night's game with Northland over
at the Minnehaha Gym. Last year there was no doubt that the North-land
team had the most powerful team and that is why they beat us—
but this year I'm confident that our team will par any aspect of talent
that the Northland 'Lumberjacks bring with them . . . . For fifty cents
plus a fairly good sense of humor, you'll be able to enjoy the entertain-ment
provided for you in next Tuesday night's Coffee Cup event. I
won't say anything more except that—you don't want to miss it ! ! ! !
Wishes and hopes have turned into reality for the girl basketball play-ers
on the campus. A team has been organized, practice time has been
scheduled, uniforms are on the way, and Miss Axeen has gladly con-sented
to be coach. What more could be asked for a good start in this
phase of sports for the girls?

Indians Seek Win Over Northland Tomorrow
Indians Trounce Bethany 70
To 59; Wood and Pierce Lead
Team to Victory Over Vikings
Friday, the 13th held no jinx for the Bethel basketball squad, as
they downed a stubborn Bethany (Mankato) team in a high scoring
contest, 70-59. The game was played on the Mankato State Teachers
court.
The Indians, encountering a team which had a scoring barrage
almost as potent as their own, had a red hot night in the shooting divi-sion.
Connecting for 27 field goals out of 68 attempts for a blistering
average of .397, the Redmen were at their best. However, Bethdny kept
in the game all the way on the strength of their good average of .382.
They hit on 21 of 55 attempts.
The Vikings made the game an
exciting one for the first quarter
as they trailed by only one point,
18-17 at the end of that period.
Gordy Wood, helped the Bethel
team get off to a fast start by
counting six points in the initial
quarter. Wood eventually scored
six points in three of the four per-iods.
In the second quarter, the In-dians
pulled away as Ken Green-man
poured nine points through
the hoops. The half time score
favored Bethel, 41-31.
Bud Pierce took over in the
third period to score eight points.
Harold Nelson contributed his
second basket of the evening in
this stanza. Bethany actually out-scored
the St. Paulites in the third
period, 15-14, but the previous lead
of the Indians made the score
55-46.
In the last quarter, the Vikings
again outscored Bethel by one
point but it wasn't enough to corn-pensate
for the huge margin piled
up earlier by the Indians and the
final score was 70-59. This was the
highest score of the Indians this
season.
Scoring honors went to Gordy
Wood with 21, Bud Pierce with 20,
and Ken Greenman who had 17.
The "Big Three" had 58 of the
entire total of 70. Dick Bauer got
17 for the Vikings high point man.

Fumbling 5 to Play
Hopeful Teachers
Next Tuesday night, January 31st, what promises to •be the biggest
night of entertainment ever had in the college gym this year or as yet
to be anticipated, will be in the form of a basketball game traditionally
known as "The Coffee Cup Game." Vying for the popular Coffee Cup
Trophy will be the College Faculty team and The Fumbling Five of
the College dinning hall dishroom crew. The main event begins promptly
at 8:15.
In a pre-game to the main, event, beginning at 7:00 p.m., the basket-ball
teams of the Lords and the Lads, will face each other. In the
past, the competition between these two societies has always been
hard fought throughout and provided much excitement for the fans.
This year the Lads hope to avenge last year's defeat by the Lords.
This year makes the third year
of Coffee Cup history. When the
initial game started off this annual
affair, the Faculty was defeated by
a team composed of the Clarion
staff. Last year the professors
again went dawn in defeat when
they were topped by the Intra-mural
All Stars. This year the
competition is more evenly match-ed
than it has been in past games.
Coached by Bethel varsity coach,
Paul Edwards, the Faculty team
has gained more experience this
year than it has in the past. The
team has been a member of the
Intramural program and has the
encouraging record of 2 wins and
2 losses.
The Fumbling Five has been
organized, into a smooth working
organization. They have had sev-eral
practices this past week. In
competition against the Bethel "B"
squad, the dishwashers managed
to keep close to the more experi-enced
junior varsity, and were de-feated,
34-28.
Beside two games of -basketball
the College gymnasts will give a
performance during the half time
of the main event. Other 'secret'
bits of entertainment is expected
to 'pop up' throughout the game.
Cheerleaders will represent each
team.
Team Travels To
Eau Claire Mon.
Tomorrow night, beginning at
8:15, at Minnehaha Academy gym,
the Indian cagers will be host to
the Northland College basketball
team; of Ashland, Wisconsin. In
a pre-varsity game, starting at
7:00, the Indian "B" squad will face
the Varsity-Alumni.
For the first time in Bethel
basketball history, the varsity
squad will journey to Eau Claire,
Wisconsin, next Monday night to
play Eau Clair State Teachers Col-lege.
The -Royal Blue and Old Gold
team of Eau Claire represent an
enrollment of 917 of their college
in the Wisconsin State Teachers
College Conference.
Last year, the Indians met North-land
once during the season and
went down in defeat under power-ful
Northland offensive play by a
score of 64-53.
Among those to play in the
Varsity-Alumni line-up will be
Shine Swanson, Johnny Dischinger,
Ev Johnson, and Frank Schlader.
Luther Bows to
Bethel 46-41
Chalking up its second win in
as many nights on their brief road
trip, the Bethel cagers tipped Luth-er
of New Ulm, 46-41 on Jan. 14.
Evidently the squad's thoughts
were turned towards other things
than basketball, for they experienc-ed
one of their poorest nights this
season. Seemingly unable to get
the ball in the desired place, the
Indians were behind until midway
in the second period when they
forged ahead 15-14. This lead was
short-lived however, for they lost
it promptly at 16-15, and then were
behind until just before the half
when they once again came to the
front 21-20.
In the second half, led by con-sistent
Ken Greenman, the cagers
grabbed a six point lead. Green-man
was the difference, scoring six
points in this quarter. Gordy Wood
had his worst night in Bethel uni-form
as he missed seven chances
to score in this period.

Engwall Writes
For Advance
Rev. Swan Engwall, instructor in
psychology at Bethel contributed
the third article in the 1950 Ad-vance
Yearbook issued recently by
the Baptist Conference Press.
The article deals with changes
that have been made lately on
Bethel's campus and was written
while Rev. Engwall was vacation-ing
in Iron Mountain, Michigan last
summer. The author also stressed
the permanence of spiritual values
found at Bethel.
The aim of the article is to keep
readers up-to-date on the improve-ments
which have been made here,
yet keeping him aware of the spiri-tual
emphasis the campus affords.
The article was written at the
request of the Yearbook editor.
The Advance is on sale in the
campus coffee shop.
'Preacher's Wile
BWA Subject
B. W. A.'s program was held

around the subject of "The
Preacher's Wife."
Mrs. Wyman Malmsten opened

THE CLARION Friday, January 27, 1950
Introducing Prof. Walter
Camera Club Aim
Is Proficiency
Various projectors, their quality
and their use to a Christian work-er,
was the theme considered at
the first meeting of the Bethel
Camera Club, yesterday. Rev.
James Luckman spoke on this sub-ject
to the new club which is in
the process of organization.
The proposed constitution, which
incorporated several suggestions
made to the club by the Student
Council, was read and officers were
nominated at the meeting.
Keith Davis, president pro-tern,
said film, flash-bulbs, paper and
chemicals will be supplied to mem-bers
of the 'Camera Club by the
organization.
The purpose of the club is to al-low
members to acquire proficient
knowledge and use of all types of
photographic equipment. The club
will also aim toward the better
processing of better pictures by its
members. It is open to any stud-ent
or faculty member at Bethel
who is interested in increasing his
photographic knowledge and abili-ties.
Meetings are planned for once
every two weeks during the school
year.
Prepared lectures and slides from
the Ansco and Kodak Corporations
will be presented at future meet-ings.
Margaret Friberg and Gertrude
Nelson were injured last Friday
while tobogganing in Como Park.
The two girls ended up in Dea-coness
Hospital in Minneapolis, the
following morning after spending a
painful night in Bodien Residence.
X-rays showed they were both suf-fering
from back injuries and Mar-garet
Friberg will require the aid
of a body brace for an undetermin-ed
length of time. The cost of the
brace is estimated at $40.00.
The girls and their escorts ex-plored
the hill before going down
it on the toboggan, but had failed
to detect a rough spot at the bot-tom
which caused the accident.
Greeting cards have been sent
the two unfortunates by members
of the student body and some visi-tors
have been • permitted them
at the hospital.
When God wants to drill a man,
And thrill a man,
And skill a man,
When God wants to mold a man
To play the noblest past;
When He yearns with all His heart
To create so great and bold a man
That all the world shall be amazed,
Watch His methods, watch His
ways!
How He ruthlessly perfects
Whom He royally elects!
How He Hammers him and hurts
him,.
And with mighty blows converts
him
Into trial shapes of clay which
Only God understands;
While his tortured heart is crying
And he lifts heseeching hands!
How He bends but never breaks
When his good He undertakes;
How He uses whom He chooses
And with every purpose fuses him;
By every act induces him
To try His splendor out—
God knows what He's about.

News and Views.
from Student Council
Attention, student leaders ! The
date of the Student Leadership
Forum for this quarter will soon
be announced.
At this time the secretary of each
campus organization will be asked
to submit a mid-year report of all
the activities of each group. This
will include a review of what has
been accomplished thus far this
year and will give an idea as to
the progress that has been made in
the planning of future events. Only
careful thought and planning can
bring forth activities well worth-while
and of benefit to all stud-ents,
Student Council believes.
Leaders are to come to the
Forum prepared to enlighten and
encourage one another in the var-ious
phases of Bethel activity by
sharing mutual problems and their
solution.
Listen, my children
And you shall hear
A switch is thrown. A motor,
stimulated by electricity, begins its
revolutions. Finally, its turntable
revolves at a rate of 78 R.P.M.
Then a large black disc, perfor-ated
at the center, is placed there-on,
held in place by a chrome knob
projecting through the perforation.
A strangely shaped arm slowly
descends over it and a sharp needle
rests upon the disc's s u r f a c e.
Johannes Niemeyer, Bethel's "disc
jockey" is, at work in the Music
Listening Room of Bethel's library.
Each afternoon, Monday through
Friday, and each Tuesday and
Thursday evening, Joe can be found
in the Listening Room with a stack
of favorite composers' works. Ex-amples
of the early works' of im-portant
composers dating from the
eleventh through the eighteenth
centuries are available.
Of interest to all who have gone
through the anguish of learning
Bach, is the album, Well Tempered
Clavichord, as played by Dorothy
Lane, harpsichordist. In the grow-ing
Record Library, containing
about eighty-five albums and over
one hundred single records, are the
favorite works of most classic,
romantic and modern composers.
A few single records from the
Library of Congress' edition of
Twentieth Century Poetry are on
hand, designed to give students the
right interpretation and under-standing
in reading modern poetry.

One Step Higher
by Beverly Anderson
A year ago last summer I felt
a definite call to follow the Lord's
command in coming to Bethel.
Since that time Christ has become
pre-eminent in my life and com-mands
my all. I'm sure that in
every way my life has been led by
the Lord—one step higher through
each experience.
Upon entering Bethel, it meant
trusting God completely because
I knew not how I would get
through, as I left home with little
or nothing for school expenses. But
God graciously saw me through and
by way of each experience Jesus
Christ has become a reality in my
I ife.
Last year I witnessed my first
revival which lead me even closer
to the Lord. Sucla an experience is
one never to be forgotten. Souls
convicted of sin, lives completely
changed, attitudes and behaviors
saw such changes that we felt the
presence of God around our camp-us.
It isn't Bethel—it's what Christ
means to us and how our lives
stand before, Christ. Meet Christ's
challenge and you will have vic-tory.
Spire Judges
Photo Contest
The final judging for the 1950
Spire Photo Contest are being con-ducted
this week. Although entries
were not too numerous, several
fine pictures were submitted and
are now in the process of being
judged.
The contest which ended Nov.
31, was organized to include pic-tures
of any nature dealing with
Bethel scenes and activities. But,
if you failed to enter the contest
and have prints of value, taken
recently perhaps, that you would
like to see printed in the Spire,
take heart, for pictures pertaining
to Bethel student life are still of
interest to the 1950 Spire staff.
Stop in the Spire office and dis-cuss
your pictures with any staff
member.
From agnosticism to Bethel—a spiritual pilgrimage
Mr. Walter, instructor .of American government and principles
of economics, was born in New York City. He says his coming to
Bethel could be called a spiritual pilgrimage.
He did not have the advantage of a Christian education as
eats of Bethel have. He was raised in agnostic surroundings where
was no contact with a religious life.
During the war he served in the Navy, a phase of his life which
caused a complete revolution in his
thinking. The revolution centered
around two facts, the discovery of
which startled him greatly. First,
he discovered faith was rational,
possible and reasonable, but this
did not seem to satisfy. Then the
second fact came to him—that of
the limitation of reason, so he
turned to the mysteries and certi-tudes
of faith.
Psalm 114 is a favorite of Mr.
Walter's because it expresses the
wisdom and glory of God and it
never fails to amaze him that He
"Who walketh on the wings of
the wind" should pay attention to
him.
Mr. Walter is married and has
a daughter of three years. For a
pastime he enjoys music and he
has a secret desire to someday be
a lay theologian.
Mr. Walter began his higher
education at the University of New
York, later attending several other
schools, including Harvard. In law
school at the University of Miami
he received his B.A. and at Duke
University he took his M.A. Now
he is working for his Ph. D. at the
University of Minnesota.
