BETHEL CARIO
Vol. XXII No. 14
BETHEL INSTITUTE, St. Paul, Minnesota April 21, 1943
April 29—May 2
The Student Missionary Confer-ence,
which met in October at
Gustavus Adolphus College, is hold-ing
the spring meeting at the
Lutheran Bible Institute in Minn-eapolis.
School Song Is Composed Class Examine
bur Ericson is also a composer of
no meager talent, dashing off a
song every now and then.
It has just recently been brought
to our attention that he has written
a Bethel School Song, collabora-ting
with Maurice Lundh on the
words. Way back in October he had
noticed Bethel's lack of such a
song, so one day, fifteen minutes
before dinner, he scribbled it down
on paper. In the future, if the stu-dent
body likes it, he is planning to
arrange it for chorus and instru-mental
accompaniment.
Wilbur also says he is planning
to compose a pep song, and if any-one
wishes to write some words,
he will put them to music.
The words to his Bethel School
Song are as follows:
In the shadow of the past,
Bethel stands by God's grace.
We will sing her praises to the
last;
He name we'll not disgrace.,
For our Alma Mater true,
We will always do our best.
And we give our thanks our God
to You,
For Bethel will stand.
Tours to U. of M.
Are Planned
A Bethel Alumni Association at
the University of Minnesota is or-ganized
under the leadership of K.
J. Karlson, Jr.
The Association and the Bethel
Student Council recognized the
need for such an organization to
help Bethel students at the Uni-versity
become acquainted with the
campus and faculty and to orient
and adjust themselves to the new
school.
The Student Council plans to
conduct tours of the University for
students who plan to atttend here
next year.

Johnson Speaks
for Life Week
Deeper Life Week is being ob-served
at Bethel this week with
the theme, "The Living Christ" or
"The Real Christ." Two meetings
are held each day at 9:45 and
6:15.
The speaker is Rev. J. G. John-son,
pastor of the Elim Church,
who is known throughout the
country as a powerful evangelist.
Last summer he held tent meetings
in both north and south Chicago,
and while he was there he spoke
at the Christian Business Men's
meetings each noon. Their ser-vices
were some of the most suc-cessful
that have ever been held
in Chicago.
A deep spirit of prayer already
has been manifested in the student
groups. The "intimacy of the eve-ning
meetings makes possible the
richer spiritual experience as the
students who want to live close
to_the Lord gather in spiritual fel-lowship.
President Wingblade offers the
following challenge for this week
to Bethel students: "Even in a
wonderful group like that of Bethel
students, there are varying circles
and varying degrees of closeness
to the Lord. But we have a Christ
who is so infinitely great that He
is able to be a personal Savior to
each of us, and great enough so
that all of us can be superlatively
closest to Him.
Team to Go to Duluth
A large Gospel team is being
sent out by the Religious. Council
to hold meetings in Duluth the
weekend of May 1 and 2. This is
the longest Gospel team trip this
year.
Many Good Will tracts have been
received by the Religious Council
for distribution by all who wish to
distribute them.
Plans for street meetings are
being made.
Current Topics
"Should India be given her in-dependence?"
"Is the church go-ing
to be pushed out after the
war?" "What about opium?"
Discussion of such present day
questions is the work of the
speech classes. They have peen
conducting research for materials,
and will begin a round of speeches
Tuesday, April 27.
Students in the College aid Sem-inary
are invited to attend any of
the regular classes when speeches
are delivered.
Miss Platts has suggested that if
th ere was sufficient interest, a con-vocation
program could be ar-ranged
with some of the best dis-cussions
presented for the student
body.
Gardens Begin
A portion of land on the north
side of the campus is being plowed
up for use as Victory Garden by
any faculty member who wishes
to plant there. Mr. Eric Borgeson,
custodian, intends to have a gar-den.
In the summers of 1941 and
1942 Mr. Borgeson won prizes on
his garden in Chicago and out of
600 flower gardens his was award-ed
a prize both years.
The lot directly south of the
Women's Dormitory is also Bethel
property but is being used for
Victory gardens by people in the
vicinity.

Getting the Most
From Bethel
By G. Arvid Hagstrom
From the Chicago slums a small boy with a broken leg came to the
hospital. He came from a very poor family where, with seven children
to feed, hunger was never quite satisfied. At his home when a glass of
milk could be afforded it had to be shared with several children; so at
the hospital when he had been made comfortable and the nurse brought
him a glass of milk, the boy looked at it longingly and then asked, "How
deep may I drink?" The nurse said, "Drink all of it, darling, drink it all."
How many students at Bethel are drinking all out of the cup of bles-sings
that is offered at this Christian school? Do you get and seek and
retain all that the daily program contains: class and group prayer meet-ings
as well as prayer tower; chapel services with helpful messages both
in song and speech; lectures and helpful hints by teachers in class and
personal conversation; impressions and influences from devoted lives of
faculty members and students; personal devotion by reading the Word,
other good books, prayer and meditation? Does your note book -and your
diary fill up with gems of truth, advice and hints for better living and
fruitful service that will cause you to consult these books from time to
time?
Are opportunities for helpful service slipping by unused or are they
being loyally used for Christ and for ones for whom He gave Himself?
A right answer to these questions will enable you to drink deeply of
the cup of blessings God provides at Bethel, and you will get the most
out of your short stay here. Read Ps. 116:124 13, 14, 17, 18, 19.

Dear Editor:
It seems to me that we should
have passed the three-year old
stage of "bubbling" questions. It
is annoying to say the least, to go
down the hall, ready to go out and
have everyone stop and ask where
you are going. What difference is
it to them whether you go to Lake
Park or to Minneapolis to church?
What we do and where we go is
certainly our own business. Then
when we return we are cross-ex-amined
again as to where we have
been and whom we were with.
Until we establish an Informa-tion
Bureau at the sign-out desk
for those who are just too curious
and have to know—Let's let our
personal affairs be our own.

These were mixed up with the
more serious letters to the editor

Dear Editor:
There is something vitally wrong
with my car. Everytime I reach
a speed of over 65 miles an hour
while traveling up Snelling, the
motor flieg out from the hood.
Twice already I've almost hit
pedestrians. Can something be the
' matter? I'm beginning to get wor-ried.

There is nothing to worry about.
Let the pedestrians look out for
themselves. They should know bet-ter
anyway. This is the machine

Passion Week brings to us a
week of pictures of the life of our
Christ. The series presents to the
unbeliever a story of the pathetic
failure of a man; but it is a most
beautiful story of love to the
Christian. The unbeliever sees the
story begin in triumph and end
tragically in death, but we see the
story move from a temporal glory
to the - crowning and most marvel-ous
story of all time.
On Palm Sunday we see the first
scene. Amidst palms waving,
cheering, and singing, He rides in-to
Jerusalem in majesty and hon-or,
His admirers following Him
singing His praises. All this glory
and honor was the just due to their
King who had shown them so ma-ny
wondrous things. In the back-ground
of the picture we see the
sinister planners of His death, and
underneath the "Hosannas" there
is the undercurrent of the coming
cry "Crucify Him!"
The next pictures show us some
very different scenes. The pic-tures
of a Man in agony, a Man
in deep suffering flash before our
eyes. Then, there is the group of
His disciples alone in the upper
room' where He only realized His
true mission to this earth. It was
here that He revealed to the dis-ciples
the plan of His life and the
manner of commemorating His
death. He also was alone in the
Garden of Gethsemane, with suf-fering
so intense and a burden so
great that He sweat drops of blood.
He was a lonely figure on His
knees, a far cry from the kingly
entrance to the city. Here was the
true One, the Christ of the loving
heart who was driven to His knees
because the burden was too great
for Him to bear.
The intense suffering continued
on the Mount of Calvary where
the sins of the entire world were
paid for in the suffering of One
who had known the glories of
Heaven and had given • them all
up that He might be "the Lamb of
God that taketh away .the sins of
the world." He was not just a
martyr to a cause but the Son of
God.
The most glorious picture comes
in the last scene. Here we see
the Risen Lord, victorious over
death and the grave. His work
is complete, and He stands with
outstretched arms bidding all not
only to•accept His Atonement but
to follow Him. He is the humble
Christ, and we should follow Him
in humility. He is the Christ who
stood alone for His Ideals. He is
the One who gave His all that we
might live. Is it too much to ask
of us that we be firm in faith and
give our all?
Today is the tomorrow you wor-ried
about yesterday.

"IS THE SOCIAL PROGRAM
AT BETHEL ADEQUATE?"
YES — NO
Virginia Backlund
NO! "However, there are too
many activities in the churches of
the Cities in which we are expec-ted
to take part. We should have
more social events exclusively for
the school, supported by the entire
student body."
Harold Carlson
NO! "In order to develop proper
social grace and ease, we should
have more coed functions."
Esther Ingebretson
YES! "At times it is too heavy.
The chief alibi for unprepared les-sons
here is, too many social ac-tivities."
Lloyd Nordstrom
YES! "If social activities were
increased, I'm afraid they would
interfere with the program out-lined
for study."
Arlene Peterson
NO! "More activities and better
advertising of them."
Gordon Johnson
NO! "Not in quality. More var-iety
is needed with greater em-phasis
on functions of a formal
nature that would develop our cul-tural
standards."

down, keeping us from winning
the race that is set before us."

Wherry the 2"raiyv goes Woo 00
By Carl Rosenquist
With that title you must think
that spring is in the air. Yes, it is
and with all its glories too. Wan-derlust
seems to be one of the
things that comes with springtime.
From my observation it seems to
be the best season of the year for
wanderlust-striken individuals.
Well, you may ask what real
wanderlust is anyway. Webster
states it as being, "The love of con-stant
travel and desire to travel
from place to place." Of course,
then, some people will say that it is
a vagabond's attitude of life. They
say wanderlust tends to draw us
away from any set goal in life ex-cept
one of wandering, but there
is where I put my foot down! You
see, I have wanderlust the year
round, but I'll be switched if I'm
a vagabond or a tramp.
With that clear in your mind you
might wonder how wanderlust can
affect a person and what will stim-ulate
this desire within a person. I
must say that being a romanticist
helps the wanderlust immensely,
and of course a vivid imagination
is another contributing factor. For
instance, I have chills running
down my spine on hearing the lone-ly
tone of the train whistle as the
train rushes steadily through the
night for far distant regions. How
about you? Wouldn't you like to be
on the train heading for the histor-ical
beauties of New England or
perhaps the sun-bathed land of Cal-ifornia?
And so it is with wanderlust. Any
sound of travel or fine weather
spure me on. Look what it did with
Richard Haliburton. When spring
came, he sat on the campus of
Princeton and yearned for the day
he could scale the heights of Mat-terhorn,
swim the Hellspont, and
charge Mount Olympus. He knew
where he wanted to go but it was
the matter of breaking from the
bonds of confinement.
But he wasn't the only famous
person who had the inspiration and
knew where he wanted to go. Ful-ton
Lewis, a young motorcycle fan,
had dreams of going through Per-sia
ancl'Ilidia on a motorcycle. He
wanted to release his excess ener-gy
of youth. The `result was a "one-man
caravan" taking eighteen
months through thirty-two coun-tries
covering thirty-two thousand
miles. When this was over and he
had made a name for himself, he
still felt that tugging in his body
for exploring new regions when he
glanced out the window at his idle
motorcycle.
But these are just outstanding
examples of the wanderlust family.
Perhaps we are a queer group of
individuals but I assure you that at
least we are happy.
"I finally find myself actually
in a camp after waiting a month
for induction. I've been here twen-ty
days now and though it is only
a reception center I haven't any
hopes of leaving soon. When I ar-rived
at Camp I put in my appli-cation
for the Air Corps cadets and
have passed the mental exam and
also all the physicals including the
flight physical. I would have been
shipped out to some pre-flight
school but I have had a little
trouble with my citizenship status.
At camp I am a barrack guard
and all I do is lie around and see
to it that all the fellows get detail
and that the barrack is swept and
mopped and ready for inspection.
While I'm waiting to be shipped I
get a 36-hour pass every week-end
which enables me to get home for
a few hours.
I miss school a lot but as you can
imagine but I have the hope that
some day I'll be able to come back
and finish out. I miss speech class
especially, but I don't miss making
those speeches and I still wonder
why I was so dreadfully scared.
Greet my friends!"

"I've bedn around a lot this year
in the Service but I'm still in U.S.
I started out in Ordnance as tank
mechanic and then I transferred to
the Medical Department. From
there I was sent to New York City
in a Military Police unit but was
placed in the Medical Detachment
there. From there I was sent to
Techicians' School in Georgia.
Here I studied Surgical Technici-ans
duties. I'm through here now
and I'm going back to New York
again.
It seems that it is my fortune
and God's gracious leading that I
have been selected to go to col-lege
for the Army to study medi-cine
for 4 years. After that I'll re-ceive
a Doctor of Medicine degree
and a reserve commission. My wife
expects to go to the U. of M. during
the four years that I am studying,
or some University near whereGI'll
be.
This army college is very con-centrated
and strenuous. It runs all
year around and 14 hours a day.
It's 8 years of education in half
the time. I will appreciate the days
I was at Bethel now."

as well as Joy Phillips do part time

Guess Who
The girl with all the SKIRTS
hails from Minnesota, down Wis-consin-
Iowa way. Her farm exper-ience
has carried over to her col-lege
days, and now she is know as
one of the "POTATO SISTERS".
And she can peel RUTABAGAS too
She's that sophomore who has all
those big, pretty BOWS (BEAUX)
Her present concern is in making
plans' for the construction of a
PRIVATE GYM FOR "DRIP" OT-TO.
She can tell of an experience of
last year when she was caught in a

more embarassed—she or Bob Nor-strom.

Dean Johnson is doing a grand job at the Senate. We were down at
the capitol the other day spying on him. That place buzzes like a bee-hive.
Everyone is in a hurry, looking neither to the right nor left, stick-ing
strictly to his own business.
As we walked through those beautiful paneled, sculptured halls, the
thought of the greatness of our government dawned on me. We have a
great deal worth fighting for.
They ARE Workers
My boss told me to write this story in order to get more names in-to
the paper. I am not going to beat around the bush and tell you that it
is for something else, but I hope it will make you feel more acquainted
with your fellow students. JOHNNY DANIELSON, HELEN CARLSON,
and WI•BUR ERICSON won't have their names in this story because
you know all about them anyhow, or at least think you do.
Quite a few students are doing the same kind of work while earning
money. At several business establishments Bethel has sent d good dele-gation
of workers. Since school started last fall there have been many
from Bethel at Wards. "SHINE" SWANSON, WILLIS WESSMAN, EL-WOOD
ANDERSON, LaVERNE JOHNSON, GLADYS BILLER, RUTH
PETERSON, KAY JACOBSON, VIOLET C. CARLSON, and several others
are working there. Do not forget to buy a hammer or a few nails from
MELVIN PETERSON in the hardware department or a bulb from DICK
KLINE in the electrical department.
CLARENCE LAUER and MELVIN SWANSON recently got cleaned
out. Oops! I did not mean that. They work for some dry cleaners on Lar-penteur.
Homemakers, we know they are not home breakers, include
ALICE OLSON, VERDA LINDBERG, BERNICE PETERSON, and you
know the others. All of the home breakers must live in the Woman's
dormitory. It sounds that way.
At Husch Brothers there is one nice family headed by HELEN
HEITZMAN. Her night watchmen friends are IVAN BAKER, WARNER
LUNDBERG, CLARENCE SAHLIN, and BILL HARING.
ROGER LINDHOLM works in a lumber yard on Snelling Avenue
when he is not traveling to Cambridge and back. The East Side Christian
Mission in Minneapolis, a branch work of the First Baptist Church is
led by LAWRENCE WAGSTROM.
Even though he cannot have it, at least he can see it. I am talking

A fellow was walking by a small

friend of his stuck his head out
from behind the bars and said

and looked up and said,
"Why hello there, what are you
doing in there?"
"0, I'm a waiter in here."
"What do you mean waiter?"
"I'm serving time!"
Now that the grades are out, the
thought has come to my mind, that
the fellows in this school shouldn't
be expected to work too hard. If
they do, they will get good marks
and will be sent to the army right
away. You see, they are expected

At one of the first class meet-ings
of the Juniors last fall, it was
decided that they would like to
promote a three-year class project.
The project decided upon was a
"doubles tennis court". Committees
immediately began investigating
costs, possibilities of getting mater-ials,
and best location. They
thought especially of the Bethel of
tomorrow, Men's dormitory, Ad-ministration
building. Prof. Omark
was unanimously chosen to be
class advisor of this project.
At present we have the follow-ing
information: 1. Cost with hired
help, $12,300 to $2,500. 2. Cost with
hired supervisor and donated la-bor,
$1,800 to $2,000.
The class has contacted Thor
Knutson, chairman of the grounds
committee and he favored the pro-ject.
Rev. Wyman Malmsten, prom-ised
to work for the courts, Dr.
Wingblade, expressed much inter-est
in the project and was glad the
Juniors had chosen it as their job.
Someone suggested the hopeful
possibility of a substantial sum
from Bethel's athletic fund. Sports
fan, Franny Otto, has promised an
$18.75 bond as a starter. Much en-thusiasm
is displayed from all
sources —several have promised
$10.00.
Tentative plans are to raise as
much of the money as possible and
perhaps borrow the rest to com-plete
the project by the spring of
1944.
B. W. A.
Presents Skit
An Easter program was pres-ented
at the B.W.A. program last
Thursday afternoon, April 15. The
cabinet members took charge and
presented an informal skit on what
Easter means. The main object
was to show that too much thought
is given to the things connected
with Easter and too little thought
to the spiritual side of it—the real
meaning of Easter. Solutions for
the problem were suggested and

A missionary band meeting was
held in the Seminary chapel, Wed-nesday
evening, April 14.
Orloue Gisselquist, president of
the Student Missionary Conference
who led the meeting, told some-thing
of the background of Student
Missionary work.

Lutheran Bible Institute and Mil-dred
Hasselquist both gave their
testimony concerning their call to
Central Asia.
Peter Stam III, Secretary of Stu-dent
Foreign Missions Fellowship
and nephew of John Stam, who
was martyred in China, gave a
short, challenging message. He
pointed out that we as Christians
are debtors to those who know not
Christ and that we should follow
the great commission, "Go ye into
all the world and preach the gos-pel
to every creature." His text
was taken from Romans 1:14-16.
Following the meeting refresh-ments
were served.

Kelly Lectures
Tom Kelly, cartoonist and lectu-rer,
of the State Board of Conser-vation
gave an illustrated talk on
conservation of our natural re-sources
for our April 13th convo-cation.
Mr. Kelly's pictures and play
upon words received much res-ponse
from the audience.
He emphasized the great waste
in forests and wild life of the
United States.
That something must be done
because the future generations as
well as those in the present, need
natural resources was the main
thought of his lecture.
