Urge Increased Prayer
By Rosalaine Anderson
Bethel students were greatly in-spired
by the heart stirring mes-sages
given by the missionaries
on Prayer and Mission Day. Chris-tian
young people were challenged
to lay all on the altar and go forth
to win souls for Christ. Prayer
and Mission Day is a day which
will be long remembered in the
hearts of students, faculty, and
friends.
Central Europe
One of the morning speakers,
Mrs. Lera B. Friedemann gave a
very clear picture of Central Eu-rope,
for many years without a
Bible. Mr. and Mrs. Friedemann
were the first to bring the Bible
to these people again after it had
been hidden from them for centu-ries.
The people of Europe wor-shipped
idols because they did not
know the true God.
The morning session closed with
an interesting message by Mr.
Bernie Armstrong of Congo, Afri-ca.
He began his ministry among
the African people as an industrial
and educational worker, but now
is also a Christian Evangelist in
that field.
Mrs. Armstrong pointed out that
men of Congo are in darkness, but
that they want light. Her happy,
smiling face plainly revealed in-terest
in the Lord's work in Afri-ca.
Mrs. Armstrong's message
closed with an appeal to Christian
youth to answer God's call for
service.
China
"The people of China have a
great many burdens to bear," stat-ed
Miss Linnea Nelson, a mission-ary
of that land. The war has
brought fear, hunger, disease, and
the problem of housing homeless
people. In spite of these burdens,
there is a greater desire to know
Christ, who is the great burden
bearer. "Come unto me, all ye
that labor and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest." Matt.
11:28.
Russia
The day closed with a splendid
message given by G. P. Schroeder,

Words Fly Thick and Fast As
Republicans-Democrats Scrap
By Russell Taft
Politics in the raw—the elephant
and the donkey in heated contro-versy;
the two major parties in
mortal combat—in short, the set-tlement
with finality of the presi-dential
election, was for you to
witness in the Bethel gym last
evening. The Republican commit-teeman,
Mr. Dale Bjork, presented,
as Champion of the Renaissance
of 1940, the Honorable Carl Lund-quist;
the Democratic Committee-man,
Grant Samuelson, presented
as the Conservator of Liberalism,
the Honorable Gustav Ferre.
Cheers and tears, boos and buga-boos—
everything was in order ex-cept
brass knuckles, and it was ex-pected
that the police would be on
hand to prevent the politicians
from resorting to fisticuffs.
Now a word in your ear—it was
the Alexis Society which was re-

"American prosperity depends
upon unlimited productivity, not
`Rooseveltian distributed scarc-ity.'
"
"Roosevelt has lost faith in the
private enterprise in America. I
firmly believe that....modern indus-trial
frontiers are only . . . now be-ginning
to open."
= "Scientific research is yielding
. . . tremendous examples of pro-ductivity."
"To disregard the third term is-sue
in this campaign will be to
forever abrogate any restraint
upon the office of the President of
the United States of America... It
is a serious issue."
"Some time ago . . . Roosevelt
said that there was no such a thing
as an indispensable man. He now
calls himself indispensable."
"Quoting Mr. Roosevelt: 'I have
no desire for this office again.' On
November 5th we, as the people of
America, will grant him his de-sire!"

Those who witnessed or
caught the reverberations of the
preceding Alexis program, in which
a number of prominent preachers
were mimicked so graphically,
were first to storm the doors last
night.
In order to resuscitate those who
were well nigh perishing with de-feat
at the close of the climactic
occasion, and to bring down to
earth those who were soaring in
the clouds with the ecstacy of vic-tory,
refreshments were available.

Homecoming! It's here with
alumni, friends, games, pow-wows
and banquets.
Bonfire Tonight
Pale-faces will gather on the
campus at 9:30 p.m. for the first
event on the program. A huge bon-fire
will be built, around which
students and alumni will have a
pow-wow.
Activities ranging from a sand-bag
rush to the annual alumni ban-quet
will fill the schedule for to-morrow.
Classes for the students
will be conducted as usual, until
10:00 a.m. when the student-con-ducted
"Mock School" will take
place. This is a series of classes
in which the students are to take
the place of the teachers. The
students will make the rounds of
the ten-minute sessions.
The noon lunch will be served
at 12:15.
Open House
The Seminary boys will be on
the "spot" at 1:30 p.m., when they
will have their rooms open "for
inspection" by the alumni.
The freshmen and sophomores
will battle in a sand-bag rush on
the campus at 2:30 p.m.
The real purpose of Homecoming
is to get together classes of by-gone
days. Teas and reunions of
the various classes are slated to
start at 3:30 p.m.
Rev. Aymond Anderson, of Mari-nette,
Wis., will address the group
attending the annual banquet,

MEDITATION ecidoided eamoneid HOBBY HORSE
Solution, Personal and National Invest November Pennies
By Cliff Bjorklund
"If my people, which are called
by my name shall humble them-selves,
and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways;
then will I hear from heaven, and
will forgive their sins, and will
heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:
14.
Full of grievous problems is the
world today, and many are the
lands in desperate need of healing.
Many are the individuals facing
grievous problems, and many in-dividual
lives are in need of heal-ing.
Many, too, are the solutions
offered and panaceas presented for
the healing of world, national, and
personal diseases. (Certainly we
who have heard of conditions in
the world today from missionaries
on Prayer and Mission Day can
partially see the great need for a
healing power.) Yet, in spite of
them, the world and its people are
perplexed and suffering.
Clearly and immediately under-standable,
beautiful in its power
and simplicity, certain in its effect,
this promise remains the only hope
for nations and individuals who
surely need healing. There are
those who say, "Yes, but this is a
complex world and so are its prob-lems.
How shall we find and fol-low
the ways of God in this fren-zied
maze?"
The ways of God are and ever
shall be the same now as they
were in the days of Israel. God's
standards do not change; eternal
and plain through the ages is the
road He has made for man. Our
failures to find and follow God's
way in this world are due to no
fault of the way itself, but our lack
of vision to see it—our lack of
courage to follow it when we have
found it. And we lack that vision
and courage because we do not
seek them at their source. God
has made the way for us, and He
Tomorrow is the first day of the
1940 penny-a-meal campaign. Of
the three million two hundred for-ty
thousand meals eaten by the
members of the Swedish baptist
General Conference during last No-vember,
626,845 meals were repre-sented
in the Penny-a-Meal boxes.
Maybe some don't know just
what this Penny-a-Meal campaign
is about. A penny for every meal
eaten throughout the month of No-vember
is put in a box-bank pro-vided
for the purpose. This money
is then sent to Bethel Institute.
Last year $6,268.45 was taken in
by this method. Thirteen thousand
boxes were sent out. This means
that there was an average of 48.2
Wandering Reporter
Ye wandering reporter, attend-ing
a class for a change, noticed
that the door had opened slightly.
Miss Teacher, who seemed to be
in an ill humor over the good hu-mor
of the class, went over to
give the door a good slam. Some-one
gasped! Another just about
fainted! Outside the door stood
another Miss Teacher. If Miss
Teacher had slammed the door on
Miss Teacher, Miss Teacher would
have been angry at Miss Teacher,
and we would have to miss Teach-er.
will grant us vision and fortitude
to follow it.
"Our Father, help us to know
that the only way out of our sor-rows
and troubles and perplexities
lies in humbling ourselves, praying
and seeking Thy Face. Grant that
we may believe that when we have
done these things sincerely, Thou
wilt hear us, forgive us our sins,
and heal our land. Bestow upon us,
we pray, the desire to find Thy
way with strength to follow it, and
power to bring others into it.
Amen."
cents in each box. This is a little
over half of the potential ninety
cents for the ninety meal-times
during November. If ninety cents
were taken in from each of the ap-proximately
13,000 boxes sent to
260 churches, we could swell our
budget by a total of $11,700.00.
Ninety cents a year isn't much;
yet, many grains of sand make the
seashore. This year, the sixth of
this campaign, we could, with co-operation,
very easily go over the
$10,000.00 mark. Certainly, the
Lord does bless us, so go to Him
for guidance in this matter, and
you will receive a blessing for ev-ery
mite that is given.
College Club Commences
The College Club will feature
Axel Wallin of Minneapolis at its
opening meeting Friday, Novem-ber
8, at 8:00 p. m. in the Seminary
chapel: He will present "See
America First" in a series of
dramatic travel pictures, according
to an announcement by Dale Bjork,
president.
An added attraction will be en-tertainment
by Wayne Webb of
Northwestern Bible School on a
variety of musical instruments.
Students, faculty and friends are
cordially invited to attend.
MICE AND THINGS
By Roger Rendahl
Our political campaign, Demo-crats
vs. Republicans, has been
brought to a successful close. No
tice—Please send all Democratic
literature to "Sammy's room. He
needs it to paper his wall.
Our friend, Mr. Goose, visited
the dorm recently. J. Stanley has
been seen romancing with a fresh-man,
Irene Nelson, I believe. Bob
Paulson claims to be aspiring to-ward
eternal bachlorhood, but he
will take a "Chance" once in a
while.
Hats off to Kephardt. Have you
seen his job of remodeling the
trunk room? What surprized me
at the Junior Seminar outing
wasn't who was with whom, but
who wasn't that should have been,
if you get what I mean.
"Bergie" had an accident in
church a few days ago. A poem re-sulted:,
"Bergie" had a high note
She always hit it, we are told.
One day the note hit back at
her
And knocked poor Bergie cold.
It is said that the average col-lege
coed studies twelve hours a

By Caroline Dilgard
We feel that a discussion of taxi-dermy
as a hobby is timely, as we
are now in the midst of the hunt-ing
season. Pheasants roasted are
delicious; but pheasants stuffed
and mounted are a joy forever, if
the moths don't get into them!
Why not eat your bird and have it
too?
In our school library there is a
helpful little book by Leon L. Pray,
Taxidermy, in which he makes
suggestions for the amateur rather
than the professional taxidermist.
Listed as essential tools are a
pocket-knife, scissors, combination
wire-cutter and pliers, needles,
thread, cord, tweezers, hammer,
saw, and small drill set.
Skins can be moth-proofed by the
use of an arsenic solution, the rec-ipe
for which can be found in Mr.
Pray's book. For relaxing dry skins
a solution of carbolic acid is rec-ommended,
When the skins have been prop-erly
treated, bodies are fashioned
from excelsior and wired into
place. Enameled artificial eyes
give a life-like appearance to fin-ished
models, which are improved
by the judicious use of plaster of
paris and oil paints to conceal any
rips or holes.
You probably have noticed many
times while driving along a high-way
that birds and small animals
often meet with disaster and are
left to die and rot. Why not pick
up some of these unfortunate crea-tures
who have been freshly killed
and mount them, rather than al-low
them to be utterly wasted?
You can easily tell whether a speci-men
is good or not.
Mussed or blood-stained speci-mens
should not necessarily be
discarded. Look them over first.
Many such specimens may be
cleaned very easily and come out
in the finish as nearly perfect as
others that appeared much better
at the start.
The requirements for a success-ful
taxidermist, whether profes-sional
or amateur, are a moderate
amount of patience and attention
to detail. Practise will give ease
and deftness in handling speci-mens
and sympathetic attention to
the art will bring about a personal
system of managing details. Quiet
thought and very little main
strength are needed.
This hobby will provide many
fascinating hours for the lover of
field and gun. Besides, it will af-ford
material compensation to the
amateur who takes it up in a com-mercial
way, doing the work for
others who have neither the time
nor desire for preparing their own
specimens. It is a work which af-fords
much opportunity for creat-ive
outlet. For instance, a squirrel
may be mounted sitting up on his
hind legs and holding a nut be-tween
his forepaws, or he may be
shown clinging to a stump with
his head bowed as if he were pray-ing.
It all depends upon what the
taxidermist wants to do.

Terrorized Frosh
Have "Hard-times"
E-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-k-k-k-k!!!
Shrieks of terror resounded
through darkened J. C. halls last
Friday as the freshmen held their
first class party, the plans for
which were drafted along Hallow-e'en
lines.
Forty frosh stumbled up chair
cascaded stairs as pails of water
descended from above. Eighty
hands and eighty knees scraped
along leave-strewn floors as forty
proud heads bowed their magnifi-cence
into the grimy interior of a
suspiciously damp barrel.
Eighty feet stumbled excitedly
unto a surface of rollers; and
eighty hands grasped frantically
for support. Forty frosh were
much smeared up as their efforts
to gain support netted them jelly
smeared fingers.
There were forty people who
were led back to the gym, wet and
a little the worse for wear.
Bob Norstrom led games in the
gym as the "poor" freshmen as-sembled
in their "hard-time" out-fits.
Prominent eccentricities of
the group were three suspicious
looking characters who wore "We
voted for Winkle in '40" signs.
After the games refreshments
were served in the coffee shop.

Junior College Chapel. The Male
Chorus, the Women's Chorus, and
some instrumental groups will give
a program of music.
In the last event of the day, the
Alumni will attempt to vanquish
the regular Bethel basketball in
the traditional Alumni-Institute
game in the gymnasium. This game
should prove to be a very hotly
contested tussle, with the alumni
gaining the services of recent let-ter-
men of the Red-and-White. The
alumni squad will consist of five
of last-year's letter-men: Don John-son,
Del Ray Peterson, Gus Ferre,
Stan Paulson, and Bob Hovinen.
In addition to these five men, the
Alumni will have on the squad
Carl Young, Robert Wingblade,
Bill Adam and Everett Backlin.
Opposing this roster will be a
tentative Bethel squad of ten men.
Those who are turning out for
basketball and who are being ask-ed
to dress for the game consist
of five letter-men, Gordon Peter-son,
Gene Nyman, Lowell Mar-quardt,
Truman Halvorsen, and
Ray Applequist, and five fresh-men,
Glen Swanson, Willis Wess-man,
Robert Beck, Roland Gustaf-son,
and Gerald Larson.

Seven Decades Spiritual,
Scholastic Progress
By Elving Anderson
Advance plans for the 1941 Spire
indicate that this year's annual will
present a well-rounded and an un-usually
interesting view of Bethel
school life.
The staff has already been
selected, Elving Anderson act-ing
as editor and Mary Ann
Liljenstrom as business man-ager.
Clifford Bjorklund has
begun work as Spire photog-rapher,
and Robert Norstrom
will head the advertising de-partment.
This year's Spire will be dedi-cated
to Dr. G. Arvid Hagstrom in
view of his long years of service
as president of Bethel. To express
appreciation for his faithful lead-ership,
a portion of the yearbook
will be entirely devoted to a story
of Dr. Hagstrom's life. Accom-panying
this biography, pictures
will show Dr. Hagstrom as teacher,
minister of the gospel, and presi-dent
of Bethel. Recent snapshots
will show him in familiar school
duties.
One portion of the yearbook
will present a short review of
the history of Bethel. This
year is memorable in that it
marks the seventieth anniver-sary
of the founding of Bethel
Institute and the tenth anni-versary
of the Junior College.
Among the new features, plans
call for a calendar of school activi-ties.
Along with this month-by-month
account of interesting
events, informal snapshots will re-veal
aspects of student life.
The circulation assistants have
just completed a subscription drive
among the students. All students
should pay for their annuals be-fore
November 18, Miss Liljen-strom
advises. The price of the
yearbook is $1 for students and
$1.50 for all others. In the latter
part of November a campaign to
interest the friends of Bethel in
the 1941 Spire will begin.

Women's Recreation
Room Rehabilitated
Attracting considerable attention
lately, the women's recreation
room has at last been pronounced
fit as a center of women's Chris-tian
fellowship.
Starting their "fix-up" drive last
spring, the Bethel Women's Asso-ciation
garnered a neat sum of
nineteen dollars in their treasury.
They wanted to spend as little
of this for as much as they could
get to make the Women's recrea-tion
a habitable place, so they
went to work.
DECORATIONS DONATED
First, they interested several
mothers of B.W.A. members, and
received pictures, mottoes, and,.
decorations. The boiler room was
the next place they invaded. They
discovered a set of fine books
there, along with a beautiful pic-ture.
Dusting these salvaged ar-ticles,
they made prompt use of
them.
The Goodwill store was also vis-ited
by members constantly on the
look-out for useful articles.
Miss Effie Nelson donated a
Bible for the room. That Bible
is now official Scripture source
for the noon prayer meetings
and other meetings of the
group.
The beautiful furnishings have
been rearranged to make a very
attractive and cozy corner for the
women. The two overstuffed sofas
and four easy chairs have been ar-ranged
to accommodate informal
conversational groups.
The women's prayer meetings
are now held in this room. Pre-viously
they were conducted in
Prof. Wingblade's office.
ATTENTION—MEN
The December meeting of this
organization is very important.
Planned for the third Thursday in
December, the women—and men,
who are to be invited—will go car-oling.
The B.W.A. basket-drive
will then culminate with a visit to
a needy family. The basket of food
will be presented to them. After
this, a round of the hospitals will
be made with Christmas carols be-ing
sung by the group for the bene-fit
of the less fortunate. Refresh-ments
will be served after the
group's return to the campus.

In Football Finale
The sophomore Comets won the
all-school touch football champion-ship
by a decisive victory over the
Seminary team, which was led by
Truman Halvorsen. The Comets
outplayed their opponents in all
departments of the game and
emerged on the long end of a score
of 24-0. This score, added to the
107 already scored by the victors,
malws a grand total of 131 points
for the season. Their goal line has
been crossed only once all season.
The Sophs responsible for win-ning
the championship by taking
six games straight are: Captain
Gerald Larson, "Red" Marquardt,
Gene Nyman, Gordon Johnson,
Gunnar Hoglund, Dale Bjork, Ken-ny
Nordquist, and Gordon Nelson.
The Seminary team, second
place winners, scored a total of 72
points and closed the season with
a record of four wins and two loss-es.
The two frosh teams which
were eliminated were captained by
Bob Beck and Bob Dischinger.

a Russian refugee. In Russia, all
religion is done away with and
anyone who dares to even mention
the name of Christ is put to death,
he said. Mr. Schroeder now trav-els
from coast to coast in America
telling others of the Christ Who
came to save. He favored the audi-ence
with some Russian songs and
a few choruses, while he played
the accompaniment on his Russian
guitar. A great challenge was is-sued
to every one present: "Can
God Depend On You?"
Each missionary stressed the
fact that more workers are need-ed.
The results of missionary lab-ors
are amazing, but much more
could be done if there were a few
more laborers.

but the laborers are few; pray ye

that He will send forth laborers

shape. Starting Monday, Novem-ber
4th, practice periods are sched-uled
for every day of the week
from 3:00 to 3:45 o'clock. Coach
Bill Adam urges the members of
the squad to come out as often as
possible so as to get as much in-struction
as they can.
The first big test of the
team's abilities is coming at 7
p.m. on December 6th, when
they will play the girls from
the Northwestern Bible School
here in our gym.
The girls who will carry the ma-jor
responsibility of this team's
success will be those who have had
previous experience: Mary Anne
Liljenstrom, Virginia Carlson, Olga
Anderson, Ethel Tederman, and
Arlene Johnson. The new girls
who have shown promise of help-ing
along are: Betty White, who
handles herself very nicely on the
floor, Margaret Erickson, Sara Mae
Swenson, Virginia Lundholm, Lu-cile
Peterson, and Dorothy Nelson.
Volleyball Tournament On
The Freshmen Infants and the
Sophomore Ace Balls are playing

medals. They must win three
games of a five-game schedule.

Men's All-Stars
The gym classes have been en-gaged
for the past week in a vol-leyball
tourney to determine the
all-school champions. The Plugs,
after trailing most of the season,
came up from behind and bowled
over the Swedes by taking six
games in a row. The winners of
the series between the Gophers and
Dead End Kids are scheduled to
meet the Plugs this week in the
championship go. Individual awards
will be made to each of the eight
members of the winning team, ac-cording
to Coach Adam.
A men's team will be named
to meet a group of all-stars
selected from the women's
gym classes. The challenge
was issued by the ladies, who
are confident they will emerge....
victorious.

Capable Leader With
Third Year Varsity Play
Gordon Peterson has been chos-en
captain of the 1940-1941 basket-ball
team, according to Coach Bill
Adam. Peterson plays a guard po-sition
and is beginning his third
year of varsity competition. He
ranked third last season in team
scoring and was the outstanding
defensive player. He is strong at
the backboard and sets up scoring
plays well.
In addition to being a topnotch
ball player, Gordie possesses the
qualities necessary for leadership.
He stands for good sportsmanship
and commands the respect of the
fellows at all times. Above all else,
he is a team man. As captain and
leader of the team, Gordie will do
his best to give Bethel a success-ful
basketball season.
