Gospel Bus Purchase
Plans Changed;
Are More Certain
Boarding Club and
Council May Cooperate
Plans for purchasing a Gospel
Team bus have been entirely
changed since the last issue of the
"Clarion." The State B. Y. P. U. is
no longer interested in the coopera-tion
plan as they have now pur-chased
a trailer of their own.
However, the student council re-cently
met with the Boarding Club
to consider a plan of going half and
half with that group. The plan
seemed very favorable, but the
Boarding Club will not be able to
render a final decision until it has
received its financial reports which
will be in the very near future.
The following policy will be fol-lowed
if the plan is adopted: The
Gospel Teams will take over the
Fall work of the Boarding Club,
visiting the various churches. The
bus shall be so constructed that the
seats will be removable and may be
taken out for a bulk load. It will
also have doors in the rear.
If any organization besides the
Gospel Teams desire to use the bus,
it will be necessary for them to get
permission from the c o bine d-boards
of the Boarding Club and the
Student Council.
The bus, a 1938 model, including
$50,000 worth of insurance, the li-cense,
and any other small ex-penses,
will cost between $900 and
$1000. Over $200 is now available in
cash and more will be on hand when
the pledges of last year's students
are collected. There has been some
confusion in the plan concerning the
Boarding Club: Some think that the
purchase of the bus will mean a
cutting into the deposit of the Club,
but it merely means that perhaps a
small amount will be taken from
the refunds. It is being planned,
also, to approach the student body
for subscriptions. Other friends, too,
may be interested, but there will be
no approach to bodies outside the
school.
./ College Club Meets with
Professor Glen Clark
Prof. Glen Clark, instructor in
English at Macalester College, gave
a message on prayer at a meeting
of the College Club, Wednesday eve-ning,
April 27. Prof. Clark is a well-known
author; among his works is
"Souls Sincere Desire."
Special music was rendered by
Phyllis Swanson and Ruth Ericson,
in the form of a vocal duet. Paul
Lundgren led in devotions. Re-freshments—
strawberry shortcake—
and a social period followed.
At the previous meeting of the
College Club, Dr. Wallace, former
president of Macalester College,
gave an address on the results of
the last World War.
Seminarians Appoint

Sophomore Class Entertained
In Dean Johnson's Home
The Sophomore class of 1938 was
invited to a pleasant evening in
Dean Johnson's home, Monday eve-ning,
April 11. Entertainment was
furnished with a variety of inter-esting
games in which several stu-dents
tended first prizes. Refresh-ments
were served by Mrs. Johnson
after which a few songs were sung.
Student Missionary
Group Reorganizes
Students representing five differ-ent
student groups met in the in-terest
of missions at Medicine Lake,
May 8 and 9. There were forty-two
registered delegates and these de-cided
to organize the students of
Minnesota into a Missionary Con-ference
entirely separate from the
Student Volunteers.
They adopted a new constitution
with the "purpose of promoting mis-sionary
interest among students and
developing a sense of unity in the
common cause of evangelical mis-sions
by a general annual fall con-vention,
an annual spring retreat,
the development of local fellow-ships,
and the interchange of mis-sionary
programs among member
groups." Charter members of this
Students' Missionary Conference in-clude
Gustavus Adolphus, St. Peter;
St. Olaf, Northfield; Augsburg Sem-inary,
Minneapolis; St. Paul Bible
Institute; and Bethel Institute, St.
Paul. The officers for the following
year are: Pres. — Sam Schultz,
Bethel; Vice Pres.—Arnold Ander-son,
Gustavus Adolphus; Recording
Secy.—Margaret Sovak, St. Olaf;
Corresponding Secy. — Ruth Olson,
Bethel; Treasurer—R. Edythe Gant,
St. Paul Bible Institute; and our ad-viser
is Rev. J. Hilmer Norum.
Alexis Society Frolics
Around Hearth Fire
Because of unfavorable weather
conditions, the outdoor meeting
planned by the Alexis Society for
the evening of May 4, became in-stead
an "indoor pow-wow."
Games were played in the Semin-ary
gym under the direction of Wil-bur
Sorley, after which typical
"p o w- w o w" refreshments were
served around the open fire in the
dining hall.
Andrew Sinkiewicz, president of
the society, was in charge of the
meeting, and Henrietta Carlson, Mrs.
Herman Tegenfeldt, and Florence
Lindstrom acted as refreshment
committee.

Visitors' Day
Missionary Holm
Is Guest Speaker
Visitors' Day, which is an annual
affair at Bethel, and which includes
open house, an entire day's program
of varied entertain-ment,
will be held
May 14, at Bethel
Institute. Several in-teresting
events will
occur, each one a
feature. Plans are
being made to have
an entertaining so-cial
time, athletic
events, a musical
program, and a de-votional
- missionary
meeting.
The main athletic
event of the day will
be a baseball game
with Vocational High School.
Falling in line with our noble
ancestry, coffee fumes shall be
smelled, and every one will trek to
the source to enjoy conversation
while enjoying "coffee and".
Changing the order from last
years' celebration, the musical con-tribution
to the day's events will be
in the afternoon. The Male Chorus,
recently returned from a successful
concert tour, will give several num-bers
from their repertoire. The A
Capella Choir will also sing several
selections. The program is under
the direction of Prof. Hultgren.
An intra-mural kittenball game
will be played preceeding supper.
The fellows have been practicing for
this game, and it, too, should be a
lively one.
For the nominal fee of twenty-five
cents, supper will be served to all
visitors and students. This should
be an opportune time to meet new
Bethelites and friends, see old ac-quaintances,
to recall old times, and
participate in a general happy as-sociation.
The greatest event of the day will
be the evening service which is of
a missionary character. Missionary
Reuben Holm, on furlough after five
an one-half years of service, will
give the address. Rev. Mr. Holm is
succeeding Dr. 0. L. Swanson in the
mission field. This occasion will
hear the Melody Twins, Missionary
Holm and Rev. Alphin Conrad,
evangelist, who will sing several
numbers. During their time together
before Mr. Holm left for India, they
travelled throughout the country
singing after their graduation.
Other musical offerings will be
given by the Central Girls' Chorus,
directed by Mrs. Alfred Rundquist.
and accompanied by Evangeline
Wingblade, Bethel music student.

To a Higher Ground
Bethel has a wealth of opportunities in re-gard
to her musical possibilities.
A finer voice instructor could not be obtained,
and his willingness and desire to serve the stu-dents
and school have not been appreciated as
highly as they might. The background of ex-perience
that has been his is just a part in his
contribution, for his personality inspires all who
come in contact with him. To Professor George
G. Hultgren, our faithful instructor, our most
sincere thanks for all kindness, inspiration and
help.
In Professor Theodore Bergman there lies
teaching talent that a few have used, but as a
school his presence can be utilized more fully
not only in piano work, but in various lines of
theory study and history of music.
With these men on our faculty, Bethel's music
department should soar to more elevated
heights, but we as students are lax and are fail-ing
in responding to the chances that are ours.
Courtesy or Crudity
Don Quixote is dead, Cervantes pricked his
quasi-chivalry with a sharper weapon than the
sword. King Arthur, his gallant knights of the
Round Table, and their marvellous deeds of
valour and knight-errantry moulder in the
dusty archives of memory. And yet through all
their absurdly heroic extravagances there ran
a golden thread that should be imperishable
and endless—common courtesy—the outward
expression of an inner state.
Somehow there has crept into our school life
a strangely crude attitude. Instead of respect-ing
the birthrights of our friends and address-ing
them by the fond names their proud parents
so carefully selected we assail them with such
poetical and endearing names as: louse, rat,
weasel, punk, stooge, sour puss, and a zoo of
others, thinking that because we grin when we
say them that they are perfectly "swell." It
seems that the more intimate our friends are
the lower we place them on the evolutionary
chain. If we enter into a discussion on a theo-logical
or social question with fellow students,
we consider ourselves exceedingly fortunate if
we escape with only one or two labels adhering
to us, such as: heretic, modernist, liberal,
heathen, Socialist, Communist, and Anarchist.
Brethren, these things ought not so to be.
And as for the civilities due the frailer sex,
well, 'nuff said. At any rate the matter has
more serious aspects than may be indicated
herein, which are worthy of your consideration
and analysis; but maybe you'd rather sit back
and smile, wondering who the droop is who
wrote this rot.
The Holy Grail
"And he took a cup", is the brief
word of the Evangelist. But around
the simple vessel of the Last Supper
legends have accumulated and the
precious cup has become the Grand
Saint Grail of saga and song. Gala-had,
Percival, Bors had sight of it,
and on the death of Percival it was
again taken to heaven.
But in our day the Holy Grail has
appeared again, and appeared in
Biblical Archeology. In the year
1910 some Arabs who were digging
a well on the site of Antioch in
Syria found several objects of silver.
Of these the most important was a
chalice, consisting of an inner cup,
hammered out of a plain sheet of
silver, and an outer receptacle of
exquisite workmanship. Two art
collectors, Salim and Constantine
Kouchakji, heard of the discovery
and finally secured the objects and
sent them to their brother George
of the firm of Kouchakji Freres of
Paris and New York. On the eve
of the battle of the Marne the chalice
was forwarded to the representatives
of the firm in New York, and there
it has remained.
One day in the year 1915 the prom-inent
Swedish-American scientist
and writer, Dr. Gustavus A. Eisen,
stood in front of the window of a
Fifth Ave. art store. A necklace of
antique glass pearls interested him
and he wished to make a sketch of
these unusual pearls. Mr. Habib
Kouchakji became interested in the
visitor and brought out the myster-ious
treasure of the Orient. For Dr.
Eisen this was the beginning of nine
years of the most painstaking study
of the cup, resulting in the publica-tion
of two large folio volumes,
"The Great Chalice of Antioch."
On opposite sides of the outer re-ceptacle
there are two figures of the
same person; one represents him as
a youth, the other portrays him as
a mature man. Around each of
these two figures five other figures
are grouped all looking in adoration
toward one of the first mentioned
figures. Dr. Eisen believes the two
central figures to be figures of
Christ, one representing him as a
youth, the other as the Savior of
the world. The four figures about
the youthful Christ he believes to
be the four evangelists; the fifth,
John's brother who was added be-cause
of his kinship to John. The
four about the mature Christ he
believes to be Peter, Paul, James,
and Jude, while Andrew, Peter's
brother, is added as the fifth figure,
to correspond to the addition of
John's brother in the other group.
"The face of the Christ seems di-vine",
writes Dr. Eisen; "no subse-quent
artist has succeeded in impart-ing
that sweetness and gentleness
which tradition gives to the Savior's
features and which we here for the
first time see realized. The heads
of the apostles are equally remark-able.
We seem to read the char-acter
of each of them; the very soul
of man is here portrayed in the metal
as perhaps never before or after in
Christian art."
In conclusion a word of Professor
George A. Barton: "If the artistic
work was done in the first century,
what cup, except one, would be so
honored. It is immediately sug-
(Continued on page 4)
Neglected Consultations
Following an advisable tendency for student
guidance, Bethel maintains the advisory group
plan. Consultation proves beneficial and it is
recognized as a good procedure, but the plan
lacks definite organization on the campus.
The Monday chapel hour could be set aside
for the main purpose of a council group under
its respective faculty advisor. Here the various
problems of the student can be approached,
necessary announcements for the week made,
and the time made into an orientation period
in discussion of each student's problems.
The advisory plan is a good one, and we
should take advantage of it.
"In Silver Slanting Rain"
There is a special sort of thrill that comes with
defying the elements of Nature. Have you ever stood
at the top of a hill on a windy day in Spring and
experienced the peculiar exhilaration that comes
with the fierce driving of wind against your body
and through your hair? Or have you ever been
caught in a sudden storm and gloried in the strange
and unknown power you felt within you as you
found yourself breathless but victorious in the midst
of a world gone suddenly and furiously wild?
The other evening a friend and I donned old
clothes and went walking for over an hour in the
pouring rain. We held out our hands like cups to
catch the drops and laughed aloud as the water
trickled in small, cool rivulets from our hair and
over our faces. The wet, living ground was black
and spongy beneath our feet, and the dripping
blades of grass clung teasingly to our ankles.
Up above us, in the trees the birds were calling
forth the budding leaves, and the sudden gusts of
wind, showered us with pink, wet blossoms. Cars
drove past us slowly, sending sprays of muddy water
in every direction. Some of the occupants looked
at us askance, and some in open amusement as we
walked bareheaded and leisurely through the rain.
Parts of every rain poem I'd ever learned raced
through my head, and much to my friend's amuse-ment,
I found myself repeating them in short, jum-bled
sentences, ending always with my favorite—
"I find a lasting song
In silver, slanting rain."
We were so wrapped up in the rain-wet world
around us that we scarcely noticed that grey twi-light
had given way to early darkness until we saw
the street lights snap on like flickering stars through
the rain; and then we hurried home gratefully to
the comforting warmth of dry clothes and a fire-lit
room. Our hearts felt somehow light and glad as
though, like the blossoming trees outside, they had
been washed clean of everything that could mar
their beauty.
Devotions
"And he wist not that the Lord was departed
from him." Judges 16:20
The strong man betrayed the source of his
strength to the object of an unholy affection.
The calamitous result was preceded by a char-acteristic
self-sufficiency which leads inevitably
to a fall: "I will go out as at other times be-fore."
The breaking of a vow will have its serious
consequences in any life. Samson ventured on
the enemy's territory, succumbed to tempta-tion,
and without consciousness of God's with-drawal,
began to exercise the last vestiges of
the strength that to all appearances remained—
but to no avail. He was forced to pay the pen-alty
for trifling with God.
What a sad sight it is to see a Christian try
to "keep up a front" when the sweet conscious-ness
of the Lord's presence has departed. The
first love is gone. We become as one who "beat-eth
the air." May God restore to us the joys of
salvation, so that we may serve effectively in
His enablement. "My presence shall go with
thee."
—Gordon E. Meyer.

By the Way
To the Editor of the Bethel Clarion:
On the Deplorable Use of Semantics
Dear Sir:
No, semantics aren't the tom-fooleries
indulged in by the dorm
boys as some puerile punster is apt
to observe when the word is sep-arated
thusly, Sem. antics, but
simply words. I stumbled over the
word as I was merrily sauntering
through a magazine article the other
day, and before I could lose my tem-per
the writer apologetically offered
the meaning in much the same man-ner
that I pass it on to you. Seman-tics,
words, the word is of Greek
origin of course, and has a particu-ularly
rich connotation in that lan-guage
which, if you don't believe,
ask Kermit Johnson or Paul Back-lin,
who are even now diligently
employed on an unusual translation
of the New Testament to be brought
out in the near future. But enough
of those Hellenistic gentlemen and
back to semantics.
Stuart Chase has recently publish-ed
a book which he calls "The
Tyranny of Words." Now to my no-tion
he has it all wrong, for words
are the unwitting victims of tyranny,
and some day I'd like to write a
book correcting this popular fallacy
and call it "Tyrannized words."
Yes indeed, tyrannized words!
But you say placatorily, "My dear
Stooge, aren't you a trifle too vehe-ment;
couldn't you say worried
words or harried semantics; for
tyrannized words sounds so harsh
and stern, and then too it lays a
dreadful burden of guilt upon us
who are supposed to be their mas-ters."
No! I shall not equivocate, I shall
not excuse, I shall not retract a
single letter. We, every last one of
us, are guilty of tyrannizing words!
Isn't it strangely pathetic how we
treat these indispensable friends
with whom our lives are so inex-tricably
bound up? We bully, beat,
crush, stretch, cut, mutilate, distort,
and torture them in a thousand bru-tal
ways in order to be able to mis-use
them in speech. Ah, friends,
tyranny is too mild a term, torture
sounds more appropriate.
There really ought to be a society
formed for the sole purpose of en-forcing
the humane treatment of
words. Oh, it offends me to the soul
to hear a robustious big strapping
fellow sprawled all over that im-poverished
little word "wonderful,"
goading and spurring it on to new
fields of expression when there are
at least a hundred fresh virile words
chiding their bits for enlistment if
only Sir Malaprop would pause,
think, and dismount in their favor.
Yes, I've seen many such brutes, and
they make my blood boil, but the
truth of the matter is that I'm guilty
of overworking the poor jade my-self
on occasions.
And then there is that other
offensive rascal albeit more polished
than many others, the pompous
pedant, who on being confronted
with an idea, thought or problem
that .eludes his comprehension, leans
back in an Einsteinian manner,
strokes his chin and drawls, "Well,
after all of course it's only relative."
All along the gauntlet of our vo-cabularies
we observe the same mal-
Banquet Preparations
Near Completion
Full steam ahead! The commit-tees
that have been appointed to
make the arrangements for the an-nual
Junior-Senior banquet, to be
held May 21, at the Lowry Hotel,
are working diligently to complete
their plans and to put everything in
readiness for the occasion.
According to the ways and means
committee, the theme and the motif
have been chosen and will be car-ried
out in each detail. The decora-tion
committee has enlisted its help-ers,
and they are working at top
speed to make the evening one that
will be long remembered.
It has been announced by the pro-gram
committee that every moment
will be filled with surprises, and the
evening will also offer those num-bers
which are looked forward to
from year to year, such as the read-ing
of the class will by the Sopho-more
Class and the class prophecy
by the Freshman Class.
Dr. Hagstrom will be the faculty
speaker for the evening while the
remainder of the program will be
carried on by the students.
"Melodic Moments" Is
Claimed Success
The program sponsored by the
sophomore class, given in the Col-lege
auditorium, April 13, was per-formed
to a capacity crowd surpass-ing
all expectations. In an attrac-tive
setting of a color-lighted stage
set off by streamers giving a spring
atmosphere, the "Melodic Moments"
were presented to an appreciative
audience.
Professor H. C. Wingblade, class
adviser, welcomed the listeners, and
introduced Gordon Peterson, direc-tor
of the program. The band, com-posed
of fifteen members, played
several numbers, and a group of
fourteen selected singers rendered
different selections.
Variety of talents were furnished
by a saxophone duet, vocal solos
by Margaret Larson, John Valine,
and Doris Moberg, piano solos by
Ruth Fredine, who also acted as ac-companist,
a cornet trio, a clarinet
solo by Esther Schlipf, a selection
by the Bethel Mixed Quartet, and
the Bethel Girls' Trio. Rodger Good-man
assisted with several readings
each introducing a musical number.
treatment of a few unfortunate
words. I shudder when I think of
the abysmal abuse that the strong
almost sacred word "love" has been
subjected to so often. We love every-thing
from orange marmalade to the
Rocky Mountains. And everything
from a new pair of shoes to a cup of
coffee may be lovely.
And you say that words aren't
tyrannized? Zounds, the Spanish In-quisitors
couldn't do a better job on
their racks and wheel than our
tongues do daily with the meek se-mantic.
Need I say more? One might sug-gest
a "Better English" campaign or
a "Seeking Suitable Semantics"
drive but all that is rather juvenile.
Let every man look to himself, but
the least you can do is to find a copy
of Roget's "Thesauras" and look up
a few synonyms for "nice" and
"cute." —Semantically yours,
Cy.
Twin City Swedish Youth
Initiate Youth Conference
Beginning with a "mixer" at 7
o'clock, Friday evening, April 29,
the first Twin City Swedish Baptist
Youth Conference started for a three
day duration. The conference as-semblies
were held in the college
chapel, and the discussion periods
were held in the college building.
At 8 o'clock on Friday evening, Rev.
Fritz Hamlin, pastor at Superior,
Wisconsin, addressed the assembly
with the subject, "Jesus Christ and
the World Today," which was the
conference theme.
At 1:30, the high school group met
for a worship period and to hear a
talk on "The Future Plans of the
Conference" by William Adam,
Dean of the Conference, after which
their discussion groups were con-tinued
from the morning sessions
until 5 o'clock, when a recreational
hour was enjoyed. The college and
business group started their session
at 1:30 with a worship service and
an address "I am the Way, the
Truth, and the Life," by Rev. Curtis
Akenson of the Prospect Park Bap-tist
Church. At 5:30, both groups
met for a fellowship supper which
was arranged by Edward Nelson,
student pastor of the Wheelock
Parkway Chapel.
On Sunday afternoon, May 1, at
3 o'clock, a rally was held at the
Central church, with Rev. Henry C.
Wingblade as the speaker of the
rally, having as his subject, "I Have
Set Before You Life and Death—
Choose Life." The new officers for
the coming year of the Twin City
Swedish Baptist Young People's
Union were installed in a ceremony
by Rev. O. Milton Lind of the First
Swedish Baptist Church of St. Paul.
The new officers are: William Adam,
president; Lawrence Benson, vice
president; Margaret Gravell, secre-tary;
Alice Anderson, assistant sec-retary;
and Arvid Youngquist,
treasurer.
Room Rant
"Stand in line and don't be im-patient."—
Doesn't that sound just
like Harold? You see,. he has offer-ed
a corner of the bookstore (in the
interest of the J. S.) to be used as
an advisory and counciling booth to
the undated and brokenhearted girls
and the bashful and indifferent fel-lows.
Perhaps it will be run on the
order of an escort bureau. Accord-ing
to the talk floating around school
as to the general confusion of things
he will not be wanting for business.
. . . Bom Bom has been inquiring
just what kind of a corsage would
look nice on a peach-colored formal
(not over $5!).

Page Four THE BETHEL CLARION May, 1938
First Conference Tilt
Brings Victory
Although rainy weather retarded
all serious baseball practice, and
wet grounds slowed the field,
Bethel's first conference tilt brought
victory over Waldorf Junior College,
6-5.
Rustad was on the mound for Wal-dorf
with Barker behind the plate.
Carl Holmberg found Rustad to his
liking and carried away hitting hon-ors
with three hits in four times at
bat, two singles and a double. Dick-au,
0. Johnson, and W. Johnson got
two hits each.
Orville Johnson, besides getting
two hits and driving in four runs,
held last year's champs, who, in
their conference clashes with New
Ulm and Bethany, drove in over
thirty runs in each game, to seven
hits, three of them singles.
Bethel took an early lead by push-ing
across two runs on three hits in
the first inning, adding two more
on the third. Waldorf kept fighting
away, getting one run in the second,
two in the fourth, and finally two
more in the eighth to take the lead,
5-4. The lead was short lived as
Bethel came in the last of the eighth
with two runs. Three up and three
down for Waldorf in the ninth gave
Bethel the game.

When Florence Dunning waited in
the cold rain for a street car last
week, she didn't know that there
were three, cocky, young sparrows
in the tree above her grinning at
her and imitating the way she
hunched her shoulders.

Tragedy I.
She made her bow
Without a date
She'd delayed her "yes"
Until too late.
Tragedy II.
She didn't go,
She had no beau,
Without his dough
She couldn't show
off.
Tragedy III.
His face was long;
His eyes were baggy;
His uncombed beard
Was growing shaggy
"A J. S. date?"
He asked me sadly
Such presumption .. .
. . . I took him gladly!
Echoes From Chapel
"The Christian religion can stand
the laboratory test."
"Take the Christian out of the
community and the flavor is not very
good."
"The more there is of sin in my
life the less there is of fellowship
with God."
Rev. L. E. Peterson.
(Continued from page 2)
gested that in the inner cup we have
at last the Holy Grail—the cup
actually used by Christ at the last
Supper! That view is further sug-gested
by the fact that bits of silver
have been cut from the rim of the
inner cup, apparently as sacred
relics."
"So now the Holy Thing is here
again."
