Bethel Women
Called to
Washington
Leaving for the West Coast
Monday, January 31, Helen Heitz-man
and Miriam Johanson will be
entering a field of full-time
Christian service in answer to a
present-day "Macedonian call"
from the defenese area of Bremer-ton,
Washington. There are ap-proximately
a thousand families
living in this newly-build district
who have little or no church con-nections
whatsoever.
The urgent call and repeated
invitations were sent to the young
women before Thanksgiving by
Henrietta Carlson, a former Beth-elite;:
who is one of the super-visors
of this work. These two,
and more, are needed to supervise
newly-organized Sunday Schools,
children's- meetings, women's meet-ings,'
wOmeng . gatherings, and -to
bear definite Christianizing in-fluence,
each girl to have her own
little "Church Center."
Both of the girls were exception-ally
active in almost every line
of work and extra curricular act-ivies
at Bethel. Both served as
president of the B. W. A., both
held several positions at different
times in the Missionary Band.
Miriam was an officer in the
Arian Chorus, and Helen won sev-eral
honors in speech contests.
Miriam has been in charge of the
bookstore and coffee shop for two
and a half years, before which
she worked in the school office.
Helen also worked in the coffee
shop and along with school was
chairman of a tri-state missionary
project for three years. Miriam
comes from Hackensack, New Jer-sey,
and Helen from Emery, South
Dakota.
Hammerbeck
Missing
Reported as missing in action is
Bernard Hammerbeck, graduate of
the 1942 class of Bethel Junior
College.
At the time he was quartermas-ter
first class on an invasion barge
in the South Pacific.
Bernard came from Warren,
Oregon. While at Bethel he was
active in athletics, playing on the
basketball team. He was also
sports editor of the Clarion.
Alexis Holds Panel
and Discussion
On Wednesday evening, January
12, the Alexis club" held its first
meeting of the year which was in
the form of a panel with 2 group
discussion a f to r ward s. "What
course of action should the Christ-ian
student pursue today in view
of the present emergency and
post-war reconstruction?" was the
subject to be discussed.
Participants were Laurence Ny-degger,
Stam Widen, Alma Ib-lings,
Sydney Barrett, Grace
Swanson, and Vazul Tanyas with
John Bergeson acting as leader of
the group.
The phases of the question that
were presented were as follows:
The purpose of a good education
today; the need for staying in
school; the question of whether to
obtain a 4D rating or enter the
armed services as a chaplain or
in some other capacity; the need
of churches for pastors, and new
factory c o m m u ni ties without
churches for Christian workers;
and the Christians responsibility
for the children who are growing
up with no Christian education.
After the contribution by the
group, the discussion was thrown
open to the audience as a whole
and it was decided that it was the
duty of the Christian student him-self
to make the decision by ask-ing
the question, "How can I as
an individual be the most useful
to Him and His work ?"
At the conclusion of the meeting
Dr. Karlson served as critic and
stated in regard to the subject
"The trouble with us is that we
are near-sighted rather than far-sighted."
W A Features
Missions
"A call to missions," the theme
of the B. W. A. meeting of Jan-uary
13, was presented in- a mis-sionary
playlet entitled, "Two
Masters." It was the story of a
missionary's young daughter, por-trayed
by June Anderson, and her
college days in America. The girl
had begun to lose sight of the fact
that she had been called to China.
Memory of her call was brought
to her in a club meeting, and the
play ended wtih her decision to
return to China. Others taking
part in -the play were as follows:
Phyllis Gustafson, Phyllis Johnson,
Rose Challberg, Ruth Elizabeth

President H. C. Wingblade spent
the latter part of Prayer Week,
January 5 through 9, in Escanaba,
Michigan, holding special prayer
services in the Swedish Baptist
Church there, with Rev. Berger
Swenson, a graduate of Bethel, as
pastor.
Saturday evening, January 8th
the President was in Gladstone,
Michigan, where the Rev. J. A.
Kallman is pastor.
He states that Pastor Kallman
has had two sons at Bethel and
another one is coming next fall.
"Quite a number of the young
people are looking forward to
coming to Bethel next year," says
Mr. Wingblade.
His itinerary home was by way
of Chicago 'where he contacted
possible speakers for Founders'
Week at Bethel.
"I also spent a couple of hours
in Chicago with Evangeline, whose
little baby girl, Karen, is coming
to Bethel some day," he said
proudly.
The President left again last
Friday night for the anniversary
celebration of the church in Sioux
City, Iowa, where Theodore Nel-son
is pastor.
Rev. Wyman Malmsten, field
representative for Bethel, left
Wednesday, January 12, for De-troit
and Cleveland churches to re-present
the school as usual. Plans
for an extended trip east had to
be changed, and Mr. Malmsten will
only be gone a few days at this
time.
Also away the past week has
been Dean Emery Johnson, attend-ing
a National Conference of Jun-ior
College Directors, in Cincin-atti,
Ohio, discussing the Junior
College after the war.
Alumnus With
Paratroopers In Italy
During the past week Miss Effie
Nelson received a leter from Chap-lain
Delbert Kuehl, Bethel alum-nus
now serving with the Para-troopers
in Italy. Chaplain Kuehl
has jumped every time his troops
have jumped even though it is not
required of a chaplain to do so.
After one battle Delbert spent
five days and five nights without
any rest at all carrying the wound-ed
throligh mountain passes where
even a mule could not go.

to 4Ima Mafri
Visitor at Bethel, and Chapel speaker on December 17 was Captain
Gerald Ahlquist, with many fascinating experiences to tell about serving
in the United States Army Air Force. Here are some high lights gleaned
from his conversations about school at that time.
When Captain Ahlquist came back on furlough, December 14, he
had with him two medals. One—a Distinguished Flying Cross, and the
other—a Nazi Victory Medal.
The first, he explained modestly, was just one of those things that
all the boys get after completing one tour. A tour, he said, is made
up of twenty-five missions or flights over enemy territory. Gerry, as
he is known around Bethel, has to his credit twenty-one completed mis-sions.
He started on four others, but because of engine trouble, the
plane he was in had to turn back each time before reaching the target.
The Nazi Victory Medal he "picked up" in North Africa. A number
of these medals had been made and shipped from Germany for the
"victorious" Afrika Korps. However, Rommel had to retreat rather
unexpectedly. In fact, he didn't even have time to open the cases con-taining
the medals, but left them lying on the desert for American
soldiers to use as souvenirs.
Gerald, age twenty-three, is the son of Missionary Dr. Jonas Ahl-quist
who was killed in Burma, two years ago, and Mrs. Judith Ahl-quist
now living in St. Paul. He is a navigator, and has worked himself
up to the rank of Captain.
Gerald was dr-a fted before the Pearl Harbor holocaust. All the act-ion
he has seen has been in the European and African theatres. He saw
the invasion fleet go to Africa. "It looked like a huge cobweb of ships
from four miles up," he stated.
Gerry's first target, Bizerte, was so badly bombed that hardly a
house was left standing. The bombardier on that flight asked him if
he was going to help fire the guns Qr hide under the nose wheel. Gerry
helped fire the- guns. He said, "You see a pursuit coming at you and
you don't just sit there."
In the air, crew members wear helmets and heavy, sheep-lined
clothing. Some of the fellows prefer electrically heated suits which
weigh less and are more comfortable until a fuse blows out.
Someone asked Gerald what we, at Bethel, could do to help the war
effort. "Write to the fellows in service," he said. "Letters from home,
more than anything else, keep a fellow going. On the day that I re-ceived
my Distinguished Flying Cross I got two letters from home and
they thrilled me much more than the medal."

This is no trivial bouquet of flowery words, but a message that
comes from the hearts of everyone from the smallest "frosh" to the
most venerable senior at Bethel Institute.
We have known you for a long time. If we wanted someone upon
which we could depend for a job, you were always willing. If we wanted
someone to give us advice, we could always go to you. Whatever our
associations might have been, we all feel we are better Christians for
having known you. What greater testimony can we give of our esteem
for you!
It won't be long now until you are with your new work in the
West. We will miss you, but are happy that you have had the privilege
of being called to service by the Lord.
What is awaiting you? A new and wonderful task, not easy, no,
but it wouldn't be worthwhile if it were. We suppose you have been
told many times already that you will have times of discouragement,
but they will be compensated for by the great joy of achievement.
Through all this, may we promise that we will give you our great-est
gift, that of prayer, and may you often pause in your work tol feel
that "invisible bond" stretching across the country, linking us with
you through God.

Returned from a three-weeks'
stay in California with news of
Bethel alumni and observations of
war activity in the West is Ladell
Erickson, of Bethel.
For the most part of the time
she visited at the home of Kay
Johnson (nee Jacobson) who was
enrolled at Bethel last year.
"While I was at "Julotta" on
Christmas morning at the 11th
Street Baptist Church of Los An-geles,"
she said, "the pastor an-nounced
the names of two service-men
who were there. I was sur-prised
to hear they were both
Bethel men, David Carlson from
Portland, Oregon, and Paul Lar-son
of Muskegon, Michigan, spend-ing
Christmas weekend in town."
"In San Diego," said she, "we
had a regular Bethel reunion."
Among those present were Mar-jorie
Porter, who is a long distance
telephone operator. "Shine" Swan-son,
who had come to the marine
station after having finished a
thirty-day stretch of K. P., Cor-raine
Hovinen whose husband,
All our best wishes,
The Students of Bethel.
C. E. R.
Robert Hovinen (both from Beth-el)
is at an officers' training
school in Virginia, Dave Carlson
and others. "They talked nothing
but Bethel and wanted to be re-membered
to everyone," Ladell
Said.
"As for the war," Ladell re-marked,
"it's right at your front
door out there, with P 38's and
other bombers diving overhead
constantly. Everywhere are huge
defense plants, camouflaged and
painted all over in crazy-quilt de-signs
with immitation trees and
funny little houses on the roofs."
She had much opportunity to
observe and hear about the hor-rors
of the war. One of her friends
told her about the navy hospital
(the world's largest) in San Die-go
in which are 10,000 men who
have been injured in the war.
From a woman whose husband
had seen actual movies of the
battle of Tarawa, not released to
the public, but shown in the army
camp, she heard that the picture
Narrow Is the Way
to Destruction
Jesus said in his Sermon on the
Mount that the way to life was
narrow. But can we not change
his words to read: broad is the
way to life, and wide the gate.
How can that be, you ask?
We speak of vision—the way of
looking at life, with ones' attitude
toward the various aspects of our
life, of our outlook as we face the
daily tasks. A narrow vision lim-its—
but a road vision leads to
fields heretofore unexplored—to
spaces where life becomes more
meaningful and rich.
We here at Bethel must confess
that our vision has been narrow—
on the whole; things have been
confined to the narrow limits of
Bethel—of the Baptist convention
—of our nation. Granted that
there are limits, yet can we not
think in terms of all Christians—
of all nations?
We speak vaguely about the
postwar period—what have we
done to acquaint ourselves with
the overwhelming problems of
that period? How many of us are
aware of the tremendous issues at
stake in the conflict?—Or of re-cent
political, social or economic
trends in our country— or in our
hemisphere?
Oh, you say: "All that is beyond
our intellectual scope—and we are
studying for Christian work—why
all this talk about the war?" But
are you not a part of this world
regardless?—Will you not have
your part to play in the world of
tomorow? We are prone to "look
down" upon the other denomina-tions—
How much do we know
about their fundamental doctrines
and beliefs? In hundreds of other
ways we have been small—petty-narrow
in our outlook.
Perhaps it is too idealistic—per-haps
it is but an idle dream—but
can we not look upon our life, our
world, with a broader vision? Can
we not transcend the bonds of our
school, our denomination—or our
nation—and look beyond with a
tolerant, understanding, intelli-gent,
compresensive vision?

By Ruth Elayne Anderson
QUESTION: Do You Think the
Service Men should be allowed to
Vote—and Why?
PROF. C. E. CARLSON: Certainly
The soldiers are still American
citizen and ought to have the
same rights as any one else.
Violet Carlson: The soldiers re-presenting
our country from our
churches certainly would make
voting a subject of prayer—there-fore
their votes would be worth
the "ballot—but then on the
other hand there are such a num-ber
of unchristian soldiers as
well.
Gladys_ Biller: Yes, definitely,
they are fighting for our country,
why shouldn't they be allowed to
elect a president for that same
country.
Miss Nelson: Yes, the soldiers
should vote. Is there any reason
why they should not vote?
Dave Danielson: Sure, they're
deprived of enough privileges now.
Bill Peterson: Of, course, it's
their country as much as ours.
They're going to live in it.
Lily Johnson: Absolutely! They
are fighting for us; they, above all
should have a right to say who
they want to be in office.
Margaret Swanson: Yes, all ser-vice
men and women should be
allowed to vote—to keep them
from voting is adopting dictator
tactics. What's my red head in
the Pacific fighting for if the coun-try
he reptesents takes away his
American rights?
Marian Schouweiler: Of course.
It's the men in the armed services
who are to .make and live under
our coming governmental set-up—
surely they should be allowed to
help determine policies now!

We've often heard about the ab-sent-
minded professor, but did you
hear about the Sem student who
stood outside the dining hall after
third period one morning last
week waiting for the dinner bell
to ring? He couldn't understand
why he was standing there alone.
Finally it dawned on him that he
had another class before lunch so
instead of feasting physically in
the dining hall he feasted for
another period on Prof. Omark's
Biblical Introduction lectures. . . .
Did you hear Gene Johnson play
the- piano at Prayer Meeting the
other night? Every chord seemed
to have a note that reminded me
of a lemon. After the group had

All were there. Richman, poor-man,

different walks of life, all with a

individuals, and yet they were
there for one reason—the soldier

Fathers sat in the waiting room
eyeing the clock, occasionally ,walk-ing
to and fro. Mothers sat with
a tense look which revealed that
a son was a few minutes away.
Sweethearts and young brides
walked nervously in an aimless di-rection
making an irritating sound
with their high heels. Younger
brothers and sisters waited in an
acme of excitment.

Guest speakers and singers dur-ing
Prayer Week, from January a-
10, at Dr. G. A. Hagstrom's new
pastorate, the Emerald Avenue
Baptist Church, in Chicago, were
Dale Bjork and Lloyd Nordstrom.
The meetings were very well at-tended
with an average of 100-125
people at the evening prayer ser-vices.
Wednesday evening was a
special prayer night for all of the
service men. Lloyd said, "One of
the things that impressed me most
was the Victory Prayer Band
which meets twice a month. It is
composed of the mothers of ser-vicemen
who gather together and
pray for their sons. When you
hear those mothers pray, you know

Friday afternoon the boys visit-ed
at Fridhem and on Sunday
_afternoon spoke at the Klingberg
Children's Home.
Sunday evening at the young
people's service the boys placed
special emphasis on Bethel. They
said that already there are several
young people from that church
that want to attend Bethel next
year.
Both of the boys were entertain-ed
at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Bernard Anderson, and says Lloyd,
"The meals must have been good
because I think I have gained
weight."
The boys noticed that the young
people and the older members like
their new pastor very much be-cause
of his extensive visitation
work. Both Dr. and Mrs. Hag-strom
sent their greetings to
Bethel.

Northwestern with 6.

and, it is said, should again bring
forth a thrilling spectacle.

This year the basketball squad
seems to be having trouble with
one of the coach's chief worries—
sprained ankles.
"Bergie" started it off right
near the beginning of the season,
but Christmas Vacation was when
the trouble really started. Capt.
Bob Hails turned his "shin-bone"
so bad in the Eau Claire game
just shortly before Christmas that
he was not able to play any more
that evening. Coming back Jan-uary
1, we saw "Smokey" limping
on both legs. He explained, "I
was down playing a little basket-ball
and I sprained the other one."
Willie Wessman and Gordy
Thompson also had similar trouble
during vacation and both look a
little limpy, but they were able to
play in the Northwestern game
along with "Smokey" and "Ber-gie."

Over Bethel
Putting up an offence that was
almost unstopable, the Concordia
Comets topped the Bethel Varsity
Friday night by a 50-27 score Led
by Henricks, scoring 15 points
thru-out the game. The Concord-ians
led by a 25-17 at the half.
In the second half, the Tribe-men
came back fighting, but be-cause
the Concordians controlled
the backboards, it seemed rather
futile. Wessman led the Indians
by scoring 10 points, followed by
Capt. "Smokey" Hails with 6
points.
The Bethelites had nothing but
praise for the home team after the
game, and especially for the ball-handling
of Capt. Nahsen and
Meichsnes, who were the second
and third high scores for the Corn-ets.
The support of the Bethel fans
was much appreciated by the
team, including the cheer-leaders,
and the afternoon "Pep-fest."
