Bethel Girls
Form Jewish
Prayer Group
A Girls' Jewish Prayer group has
been organized under the leader-ship
of Evelyn Sundberg and Mar-jorie
Porter.
The purpose of the group is to
pray with one accord for God's own
people and to send out by mail the
Word of God, and special literature
which shall make intelligible to the
Jew the Old Testament claims of
our Lord Jesus as their Messiah.
The results of misionary work
among the Jews is amazing. A
careful calculation estimates the
number of Jewish converts in the
19th century as at least 204,500.
However, there are still a great
number of Jews who need Christ.
We_ have approximately twenty
cities of 10,000 or more Jews that
have no organized missionary
work among them, and there are
160 cities with 1,000 or more Jews
in this country for which no re-port
of work of any society is
given.
The Girls' Prayer Group has
taken as its theme, Rom. 1:16 "I
am not ashamed of the gospel of
Christ for it is the power of God
unto salvation to every one that
believeth to the Jew first and also
to the Greek."
When the group was organized
there were only six present, but that
number has increased until there
are about eighteen who attend reg-ularly.
This group by God's grace
—by prayer, through literature, and
personal touch want to win these
Jews, "the apple of God's eye," to
Christ.

Films Are Shown
For Student Body
Moving pictures were shown by
the British Ministry of Information
during the convocation program
Tuesday, November 3.
By means of these pictures the
students were able to see how the
people of England carry on war-fare.
The film portrayed an R. A.
F. bomber's trip over Germany to
bomb a strategic point.
Pictures showing the natural
wonders of Minnesota were pre-sented
by Dr. Breckenridge of the
Minneosta Museum of Natural His-tory
during convocation Tuesday,

and picturesque shots the audi-ence
became acquainted with the
birds of this state, and with the
birds that fly through Minnesota
as they migrate either north or
south.

Not tlfaterial Blessings cAlone.>
In this Thanksgiving season two pictures of our country come to
our minds: one of the sober-faced Pilgrims kneeling in a prayer of
Thanksgiving in the midst of the golden proofs of a bounteous summer;
the other of factories pouring their smoke into the skies, while within
are whirring lathes, glowing rivets—work, by men and women—for guns,
bullets, bombers, battleships—one a scene of peace, one of war.
The contrast shows many things. It shows progress in the invention
of mechanical things, in the organization of men—in the ability to hate
and kill. But what has become of the development of our souls and
character?
What about the future of these two Thangsgivings? For the Pilgrims
there was a black and cold New England winter with the added perils
of Indian massacres, scarce food, and disease; for us . a bleak winter of
war, what else we dare not guess. But the Pilgrims realized the trouble
the future might bring, and still were thankful. So should we be.
Of course we praise God for His physical gifts, food, clothing,
homes, but let us look deeper than that. Let us think of our spiritual
blessings, for in the horror of war they become even more apparent.
We thank God that this adversity has bound us closer to our fellow-men
across the waters. We may more than ever understand them,
suffer with them, and aid in our small donations of money, food, and
medecine.
We thank God for the teynpering of our character. We are learning
patience and privation.
We thank God we are privileged to attend the painful travail which
will result in the birth of a new and better world.
Let us be thankful for these things and at the same time make their
perfection our goal for the future.

Sermonette
Wil Borne
You Are reading just a few
words. If they constituted my last
opportunity to testify, I would not
change them.
It was the Son "Who gave him-self
for our sins" (Galatians 1:4)
and "rose again for our justifica-tion"
(Romans 4:25). That fact is
unanimously emphasized by us;
we all believe it. Beyond that our
paths diverge as do drops of water
from a hose. Many of us, in ex-pressing
our Christianity, overlook
the very center of our faith, love.
"In this was manifested the love
of God toward us, because that God
sent His only begotten Son into the
world, that we might live through
Him" (I John 4:9). For love was
Christ manifested for us, that we
might live, that we might live a
life demonstrating that love. Not
that we might live an existence cir-cumscribed
by the sins of a natural
man, common failings like jeal-ousy,
greed, hate, and lust. Sins
are demonstrated in the easily of-fended
who would rather lose a
friend than their pride. Sins are
emphasized by people who sacri-fice
the common good in preference
to their walled-in authority. Sins
are stressed by men who would
confine the thoughts and expres-sions
of their fellows to exactly the
same channels their own have trav-ersed
,and typified in Christians
whose life is a list of do's and
don't's smothering the vitality of
the Golden Rule.
We can grasp the full Gospel.
We can clasp it to our hearts. We
don't need to drag the divine down
to a level of human weaknesses.
When will we raise our eyes to
God? When will we address our
fellow believers as Brethren -with-out
reservation? When that time
comes, we will have the life we are
promised, a life of joy and peace
that passeth understanding, walk-ing
in communion with our Heaven-ly
Father.
Meditations
Evelyn Sundberg
Rom. 12:1-2
God wants us to be weapons. We
should yield our members to God
as instruments. When God spoke
to Moses from the burning bush
and told him he was to be the one
to lead the Isrealites out of Egypt,
Moses felt incapable and tried to
back out. God asked Moses what
it was he had in his hand. Moses
replied, "Tis only a shepherd's
rod," but when that mere shep-herd's
rod was given to God, it be-came
an instrument of power. We
may feel incapable and feel we
haven't any talents or anything to
give to the Lord, yet if we give
ourselves ,our hands, feet, lips—
every part of us to Him, He can
use them in a measure we never
dreamed of. Today God needs men
who are wholly yielded to Him.
God wants us to be separated.
So many Christians are dabbling
a little bit in this world's corrup-tion
and because of it are finding
themselves unsatisfied and un-happy—
miserable. It's only when
you are living for Jesus that you
are truly happy for He alone is the
source of all contentment and the
fountain of all joy. It is impossible
for the Lord to bless and carry on
His work, unless there is a separa-tion
from the world. A separated,
transformed man will be able to
say with Paul, "I am crucified with
Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not
rbut Christ liveth in me." Gal. 2:20.
Our lovely Lord Jesus stands
stretching forth His hands, pierced
with cruel nails for you and me.
He is asking us today to be weap-ons
separated to Him and to His
work. He alone saved you from
the guilt of sin, brought you from
death unto life and gave you the
Spirit of God. Shouldnt you yield
Him your life? God has a place
for you and can use you. It is only
in that place that you will find
the greatest happiness and be of
service in the world.
Living for Jesus, Oh what peace
Rivers of pleasure never cease
Trials may come yet I'll not fear,
Living for Jesus, He is near.
"Skrub"
There is no "skrut" column in
this issue of the Clarion.
If this lack (?) is a. disappoint-ment
please analyze the column
and decide whether it should be in-cluded.
1. Skrut takes space.
2. Space costs money.
3. Does the column accomplish
any purpose for the paper, school,
or student?
4. Is it worth the money':
5. Does it hurt by making
people an object of ridicule?
No authority on journalism ap-proves
of the gossip column. Does
it belong at Bethel?
The CLARION wants jokes, and
news items, things that happen in
classes. Write -them and turn them
in. We don't want gossip—Do you?

If some of the wonderful talent
displayed on the "Rival," will re-port
to the Clarion office perhaps
we can have a better paper.
Chapel Nuggets
Rev. McGinnis
"The Fuller Brush man goes from
house to house. He takes a lot of
abuse, but he leaves a "free brush"
everywhere. Christians should be
just as zealous and leave a tract
everywhere they go.
An insurance man always winds
up a conversation by finding out
if you have a policy. Christians
have eternal insurance but do they
find out if the people they talk to
have that Policy?"

Welcome
As a welcome to the Mr. and
Mrs. Borgerson, the new janitor
and his family we would like to
print a letter which they received
from their church in Chicago.
Dear Eric and Ellen:
‘Vell, Eric and Ellen, so you are
really leaving us here in Engle-wood.
We had never dreamed that
such a thing could be possible. We
expected that you would always
be with us and each time we open-ed
the church doors we expected
to find you here. We have always
expected to have the building warm
and cozy, air fresh and yet not
chill. We always expected the
chairs to be clean and not need to
dust them off before we sat down
with our light clothes. We expect-ed
you to prepare for weddings,
for funerals, for dinners. We ex-pected
you to watch the children,
watch the wraps and watch the
cars.
Oh Eric—now we are sorry and
it is clear as clear can be, that we
belong to the T. F. G.
Takers For Granted . . . Oh what
a name, Takers For Granted . . .
Oh what a shame.
We might have during these
many years slapped you on the
back and said "Thank you, brother
and sister. Thank you for a job
well done," but T. F. G.'s do not
do that. They take everything for
granted and expect more.
Maybe there are others here
among us, who because they are
willing, we also take for granted.
Maybe we should say, "Thank you
now before it is too late . . . and
add God Bless You too." We need
to pray — God make us thankful
for willing hearts and service and
not expect more than we should.
Well, we live and learn, but some
times we learn too late.
Well, Eric, many are the happen-ings
that you have seen during
your stay here in Englewood.
You came to us in the days of
prosperity back in '26 and then you
also watched our coats grow
threadbare and worn in the days
of depression, but through it all
we can quote God's word that "My
people shall never be without
biead."
You came to us as a young man
of 26 taking over a new job and a
new residence. Well, you did a
real good job, and it wasn't long
before a Mistress found her way
into your heart and life and be-cause
she had been such a fine
balance, much of your success finds
its way to Ellen's feet.
Then too, our children came to
you here in Englewood, and surely
time will never erase their arrival.
Lovely children, Dile and Ellen,
may God bless them and keep them
always.
Well, we could go on remember-ing
forever. We shall continue to
come to our church home and as
we call "where is Eric?" the rafters
shall echo . . . He is gone . .. gone
. . . gone. . . .
We as women of Englewood
could not and would not stop the
wheels of progress and now as you
leave Chicago to enter the doors
of Bethel we wish you joy and hap-

"Sounds of the Air," a program
presented by Haralad-Allen and
Alice Deemons under the auspices
of the University of Minnesota,
General Extension Division, was
the Tuesday, Nov. 24, convocation
attraction.
The artist's program consisted of
a demonstration of sound effects
and how they are produced.
The sophomore class meeting
was held Tuesday, November 17. A
vote of thanks was given to the
freshmen for the Hallowe'en party.
General business was discussed.
A report was given by June Hed-man,
on future plans of the Ways
and Means Committee.
A hearty welcome from school is
extended to Miss Johnson, the new
cook of the girl's dormitory.
Miss Johnson comes from Duluth,
Minn. She is a member of Temple
Baptist Church, and was Supt. of
the Junior departmetn, there.
In Duluth she cooked in a Gas-ser's
Cafe.
'Potatoe Story
Last week-end while on a gospel
team trip the members discovered
one of the finest pieces of work
in the line of contributing' to the
boarding club.
Early last spring the men's club
of the Baptist Church of Cokato
started to work. They tilled- a plot
of ground behind the church. These
men lived in town and could easily
give some of their spare evenings
to the work. They decided they
wanted to help Bethel this fall so
on that plot they planted potatoes
and with constant care that small
plot yielded 25 bushel of fine pota-toes
this year.
The Boarding club wants to take
this opportunity to thank those
men who so faithfully watched and
cared for those fine potatoes. Per-haps
some other church could try
the same thing or similar plan.
Nothing would be appreciated
more.
DEBATE TEAM

piness in your new field. Serve God
as you have never done before for
great is the reward of faithfulness.
We as women of Englewood wish
to thank you both for all the kind-ness
towards us, we wish to thank
you for your patience, we wish to
thank you for your untiring service.
Finally, may God Bless You, is
our prayer, and keep a little corner
in your heart for Englewood.
With kindest love and best
wishes,

Coury money, Naga jewelry, be-heading
knife, breach clouts, ce re-monial
reed shield, pigmy arrows—
almost every type of ornament or
implement made by savage man
meets the eye of the visitor to
Bethel's museum. The showcases
in room 110 overflow with relics
given to the school by missionaries
and other interested persons.
Rev. Harold McClure, recently re-turned
from Africa, explained the
backgrounds of the African items.
Those short, iron tipped spears are
used in elephant hunting, a very
dangerous game. Two men are
needed to hunt elephant—one to
make the kill and one to bring
home the report if the hunt was
unsuccessful. The small wicker-covered
pottery tom-tom is used at
feasts, as is the one-legged wooden
stool.
Because their identification cards
have been lost, several of the .ar-ticles
leave much to the onlooker's
imagination. Will someone tell us
the origin of that brass-studded
battle knife?
Students Learn First Aid
Bethel students are being in-structed
in the giving of first aid
in case of emergency.
The members of the First Aid
Class, taught by Mrs. Anderson,
are learning to bandage all types
of wounds and give artificial res-piration.
One Tuesday the gym
floor was almost covered with
newspapers as couples adminis-tered
artificial respiration to each
other.
During classes in practice band-aging
the groans of some of the
victims add a realistic touch.
Churches Entertain
Bethelites
On Sunday, November 22, the
Bethel students are invited to the
First Swedish Baptist Church of
St. Paul for a full, day of worship
and fellowship.
On November 29, the students
have been asked to attend the
Bethel Baptist Church of Minne-apolis.
Transportation or carfare
will be provided in both cases.
Many of the Bethel students look
forward to these days especially
set aside for them, on which they
have the privilege of becoming ac-quainted
with the members of the
churches. The students take part
in these services, sometimes fur-nishing
special music or leading
young people's services.
Oooh! Where did that horrible
little, white, rubber mouse come
from?!

Professor Norstrom said, "In
chasing the wolf away from my

pulled out his watch and watched

Youths of College Age
Most Susceptible to
TB, Seal Group Finds
Tuberculosis has young people of
college age in Ramsey county
marked for attack, according to the
Ramsey County Public Health As-sociation,
the local Christmas Seal
organization.
This organization, which puts
Christmas Seals on sale beginning
the week of Nov. 23, found last
year that young people, between
the ages of 20 and 39, gave up more
lives to this disease enemy than
any other age group except those
between 40 and 50 years.
There is warning enough it this
,situation for college youth, but in
the present war period, conditions
markedly unfavorable to health are
a part of the war strain, and the
Ramsey County Public Health As-sociation
seeks to put youth on the
civilian front on guard against
tuberculosis, more than usual.
Young women are working in de-fense
plants. Even before the war
strain was manifest, one out of
every four deaths among young wo-men
aged 15 to 30 was caused by
tuberculosis. We must call a halt
here!
Our country needs strong, healthy
young men, yet before the war
came, one out of every six young
men between 20 and 40 who died,
was a victim of tuberculosis. We
cannot spare these young men
now!
Wartime conditions are favor-able
to increase in tuberculosis.
For Health Protection on Our
Home Front we must put the
Christmas Seal dollars to work.

"On the Bench"
by Bo
The banner that this column
bears may be an opening for a
good variety of columns, but being
that this is not spring and young
men don't turn fancy in this kind
of weather, we will limit it to a
treatise on our present basketball
squad.
We have witnessed already a bit
(?) of action which our team put
on at the Homecoming game and
by the time this is read by the
public there will have been more
to say something about. Perhaps
first we should mention a "has-been'
or two. Heading the list, some
say, is Gene Nyman who scored
all of two points in the Homecom-ing
game to the accompanyment
of Ben "Gozzle" Anderson's chides
to the effect that Nyman should
punch his time card and quit. We
noticed however that "Gozz" him-self
wasn't down there so all that
doesn't mean much in our opinion.
According to the game„ though,
we notice that Bergerud must be
tired of getting a "bench-eye" view
of the games because we saw how
he was flying around everywhere
making good account of himself.
The calls of the crowd brought out
Francis "Drip" Otto for a little sec-tion
on the maple boards. If we
only had a few more "Drips" (as
Inge would say when the coffee
pot goes dry) we would have a
championship team this year, for

Alumni Game Review
Phil Bishop
Last year's varsity did a very
nice job of turning back the alumni
team Friday night before one of
the largest Home-coming crowds
our school has known.
The varsity, led by Captain
Shine Swanson with 17 points and
Bob Bergerud with 14 points, really
showed some promise for the com-ing
season. The varsity succeeded
in rolling up a score of 54 points
while the alumni made 30.
However ,it cannot be said that
the alumni did not fight, for they
upt up a great deal of resistance
regardless of the score. The high
scoring honors go to Coach John-son
and our former Coach Adam,
for they both collected seven
points. After looking at the rec-ords,
your truly thinks it might be
well for the alumni to practice a
few free throws, as they missed 19.
The students may be interested
to know that the alumni are trying
to get together another team in
hopes of making a better hsowing
the next time.

it may mean a few more "buckets."
More power to you drips.
This may have had a little more
meaning coming from one on "the
bench" but maybe next time it
will, but until then we'll leave you
sitting there.

Page 4 THE BETHEL CLARION
Bethel Indians Win Over
Concordia College 43-39
Winning over Concordia 43-39,
the Bethel Indians made their first
appearance of the season.
The game was closely fought.
The score at the half left Bethel
behind by 10 points. In a swift
pickup from the half, they came
from behind to eke out a victory.
The last quarter was tense with
excitement as both teams split the
hemp to even up the game at every
stage.
The dust fairly lay as a blanket
over the gym floor as the rooters
cheered their team on in the last
three minutes of the game. The
excitement started as Bethel passed
the Lutherans at 39-38. From here
on it was the Indians' game as
they plunked three more baskets
to a lone free shot for their op-ponents
to win, 43-39.
Much credit should go to Rune
Mentzer who played his first var-sity
game with the team. Referee
was Bill Adam of Cambridge, Min-nesota,
known by all Bethelites as
last year's coach.
The subs played a hard game,
but the passing and the well-organ-ized
playing of the Junior Comets
gave them the Victory.
A co-ed's promise to be on time
carries a lot of wait!

Girls' Basketball
The Bethel girls, in an attempt
to keep up the previous records
(of victory), are warming up for
the approaching basketball season.
They hold practice every Tues-day
night from seven to eight, and
Thursday afternoons from three to
four. Under the direction of Coach
Johnson, the girls are learning to
pivot, dribble, pass, and combine
these basketball techniques.
With good coaching, consistent
practice, and unity in teamwork,
the girls are looking forward to
basketball season.
Cheer Leaders
Our recently announced cheer-leaders,
James Nyquist, Peggy Ap-plequist,
and Margaret Swanson,
don't need an introduction. James,
who comes from Willmar, Minne-soto,
Peggy from Rockford, Illinois,
and Margaret, from Stratford, Ia.
have already showed their enthu-siasm
by their lively yells.
