World Famous Pianist
Honors Prof. Hultgren
Professor George Hultgren has re-cently
received an unusual honor in the
form of a personal letter from the world
famous pianist, Percy Grainger.
At one of the sessions of the Min-nesota
Music Teachers Convention held
at the Nicollet Hotel during the holidays,
the Minneapolis A Capella Chorus sang.
Mr. Grainger was present and later
wrote to Mr. Hultgren. Part of the
letter is as follows:
- I can never tell you what a deep
impression your directing and the sing-ing
of the exquisite choir made on me
the other night. It was one of the
four or five outstanding impressions
of choral singing I have heard in my
whole life. Your choice of numbers
was so varied, the technique of pre-sentation
so resourceful and subtle, but
what I liked best of all was the sen-sation
of sustained melodiousness
throughout. What you have accom-plished
is not merely great and lovely
choral singing; it is the very soul of
true part-singing itself.
I hope we may meet again very soon.
Yours admiringly,
Percy Grainger-

O
Recreational Club Meets;
Dean Johnson is Counsellor
The third regular meeting of the
newly organized campus club, the
Bethel Recreational Club, was held
Monday evening, January 15, in the
club room on the third floor of the col-lege
building. The largest group to
meet this semester was present to en-gage
in the recreational competition
and to make tentative plans for a chess
tournament scheduled for the first week
of the new semester. Dean Emery John-son
was unanimously elected counsellor
for the club and will serve during the
rest of the year.
The Recreational Club, only boy's
organization in Bethel, now has a mem-bership
of 30 with several applications
on file. The last two weeks have been
used to decorate the club room and
prepare the game equipment. Two new
chess tables have been especially made
for the room with the chess boards
artistically designed on them. Other
equipment includes a small ping pong
table, dominoes, checkers, ten pins, and
a game of monopoly. Several new pic-tures
and study tables have also been
recently added to the room. Plans are
(Continued on page 4, column 3.)
To alleviate their impecuniosities
temporarily many Bethelites have en-rolled
in the NYA projects on the cam-pus.
Anyone that desires to see the
actual results of these projects will
agree that they are improvements of
important value.
In the early months of fall the pick
and spade served as the necessary
weapons to kill the weeds on the tennis
courts. To insure lasting results the
members covered the courts with salt
and crushed stone. Around the build-ings
one would find other workers
busily engaged in stripping the shrub-beries
of some of their abundant sup-ply
of leaves. At varied intervals the
school truck would come onto the cam-pus
with a heavy load of dirt to fill
some outstanding depression.
In their firm belief that winter would
come the workers examined all the
storm windows. Those that were bat-tered
and shaken were inflicted with
panes while others were merely puttied
into good old shape. All were given a
good rub-down for the season.
Remembering how the basketball
players trembled and swayed on the
dilapidated, spring-like gymnasium
Three new songs must be memorized
in as many days; and that in pre-ex-amination
week. This is ample evidence
of the intensive preparation for a con-cert
by the Male Chorus on February
19. This concert is sponsored by the
Women's Federation at the Central Bap-tist
Church.
Numerous Twin City concerts are be-ing
planned. A concert tour through
Wisconsin and Michigan is a ninety-five
per cent possibility according to
Dean Johnson.
The trip, which had been planned,
to the West Coast is not feasible for
several reasons, hops from one church
to the next are long; roads may be
blocked by snow in Spring, and mem-bers
of the Chorus cannot travel in
summer.
Several new songs are being added
to the repertoire of the Chorus. Among
these are "Hills of Home" by Fox,
"Lift Thine Eyes" by Logan, and "The
Blind Ploughman" by Clarke.
The admirers of Orpheus are ably
directed by Professor Hultgren every
Thursday afternoon. Separate rehear-sals
for tenors and basses are held
weekly.
Rules of attendance at rehearsals and
for the memorizing of songs are strictly
enforced so as to work up a chorus
which will really be an asset to the
school.
PRESIDENT HAGSTROM
EXPERIENCES COLLISION
Dr. G. A. Hagstrom suffered minor
injuries in an accident at the intersec-tion
of Jessamine and Forest Streets,
Thursday morning, January 14, when
his automobile collided with a street
car.
He was travelling west on Jessamine
on his way home from a board meeting
in Mounds Park Hospital, when a north
bound street car crashed into the left
side of his automobile.
He has not been able to return to his
duties on the campus yet but he ex-pects
to be with us very soon.
ACCEPTS CALL
TO PASTORATE
Rev. Walfred Holmberg to Fill
Business Office Vacancy
Mr. Robert J.
Klingberg, who
has managed the
Book Store and
the accounting
department of
Bethel Institute
for the past four
and a half years,
has accepted a
call to become
pastor of t h e
Swedish Baptist
Church of Gales-burg,
Illinois. He expects to leave early
in February.
During his residence in St. Paul, Mr.
Klingberg has attended the Bethel The-ological
Seminary, from which he was
graduated in 1935. Besides his regular
duties at the school, he has also served
as pastor of the Lake Park Baptist
Church for the past year. Mrs. Kling-berg
was matron of the girls' dormitory
for almost three years.
Because of his systematic business
abilities, Mr. Klingberg has had a large
part in placing Bethel on a higher level,
financially. He will be greatly missed,
and both students and faculty members
join in wishing for both him and Mrs.
Klingberg God's richest blessing in their
new field of labor.
Rev. Walfred Holmberg, pastor of
the Bethel Baptist Church of Minne-apolis
and a member of the School
Board, will succeed Mr. Klingberg in
the business office, serving until July I.
Since Mr. and Mrs. Robert Klingberg
and John Richard are leaving to take
up the pastorate in Galesburg, Illinois,
February 1, the student body held a
farewell luncheon in the Junior College
Wednesday, January 20.
Following the luncheon Wilbur Sor-ley,
president of the Student Body, pre-sided
over a short program. Maurice
Lawson and Leonard Turnquist repre-sented
the College and Seminary de-partments
with farewell talks to which
Mr. Klingberg responded.
Mr. and Mrs. Klingberg sang a duet
and Kermit Johnson gave a trumpet
solo accompanied by Miss Ruth Fredine.
Grace Forsberg led in devotions.

EXAMS
We are just in the midst of our semester examinations.
No student needs to be told that, and those who are not
students can tell by the serious attitude of the victims
that great trials and testings are taking place. Of course,
we realize that it is for our own good that we pass through
this period each semester, for we soon find out if our
work is satisfactory or not. We discover whether we are
doing our best or just trying to "get by".
But can we not also have "examinations" in our spir-itual
lives? Wouldn't it be well for us to find out if our
work for the Lord is satisfactory—if it is telling for Him?
Let us take a few minutes now and then to examine our
hearts and lives to see if we are gi;ving our best to the
Master that our lives might tell for Him.
"I am satisfied, I am satisfied, I am satisfied with Jesus,
But the question comes to me as I think of Calvary,
Is my Master satisfied with me?"
APPRECIATION
The resignation of Robert Klingberg as manager of
the Business 0___ce of Bethel is a big blow to the school.
However, it is a tribute to his christian character that he
has bowed to the will of the Lord in this matter.
The school is going to feel his loss mightily and the
students will lose a sympathetic counsellor but they all
wish "Bob" and his family God's richest blessing and
guidance in his new endeavor.
The Clarion staff also joins most heartily in this wish,
for Mr. Klingberg has always shown a kindly interest in
it and has done a good job in keep its accounts out of the
"red".
DO A GOOD TURN
It is the motto of the Boy Scouts to "do a good turn
daily". This might be a big deed or just a small favor,
but it should be helpful to someone. All of us should
cultivate the habit of looking for little ways to help one
another.
As friends and students of Bethel we can all help our
school in a small way by sending in the names of those
of our friends and acquaintances who might be inter-ested
in or benefited by attending it.
Why not write today to Bethel giving these names and
thus do a good turn to your school and maybe do a
big favor to your friends?
Clifford Lewis, President of
Youth Fellowship, Here
Clifford Lewis, president of the Na-tional
Youth Fellowship Lea g u e,
brought two inspiring messages to the
student body at chapel during the past
few weeks. On Friday, January 8, he
gave a talk on the Twenty-third Psalm,
saying that it was the nightingale of
the Psalms and the Christian's textbook.
"Everything we need, we can find
there," he
On Friday, January 15, Mr. Lewis
brought a message on revivals and the
need for revivals everywhere. He said
that although the Holy Spirit may be
dwelling in us, there are ninety-five
per cent of the Christians who do not
let Him rule their lives. "Everyone of
us has needed to return to God," he
said.
NEW BOOKS
by Ralph Johnson
"Any book you have not read is
a new book" says a placard over the
counter of a rental library on Grand
Avenue. If this is true the Seminary
can boast many new books. In it there
are many volumes which, though their
copyrights be old, fall definitely into
the "new" class for most of us.
But we speak of new books in a
stricter sense.
Just to the right of the fireplace in
the Seminary library is a shelf on which
new books are placed as they are added.
This year we have been fortunate, per-haps
not in number, but certainly in
the quality of the books that have been
acquired. They are attractive with their
covers ranging from smooth, glittering
gold foil to rough, soft pastels. Atten-tion
is drawn to a wide range of sub-jects
by interesting titles. A catalogue
of the authors is a formidable list of
the names of outstanding contemporary
leaders in religious thought. Variety
is not lacking.
Study of the "Prophets" is well repre-sented.
Robinson, Gordon, Taylor, and
Clausen are names that have become in-separable
from the subject. Each has
a volume on the shelf. George L. Rob-inson's
The Twelve Minor Prophets is
especially valuable for giving the his-torical
background in which these great
preachers worked. Bernard C. Clau-sen's
delightful human Pen Portraits
of the Prophets, although ten years old,
is a new acquisition, and from the time
of its arrival has been one of the most
popular books among the Seminary
students.
Of the missions group Baptists of
Assam receives primary attention no
doubt because its author is the Swedish
Baptist Missionary Victor Sword. Dr.
Robert E. Speer's Christian Realities
deals mainly with personal religious
problems, but the last few chapters are
given to the subject of missions. Popu-lar
Hinduism, an outline of the chief
religion of India both in theory and
practice, is by L. S. S. O'Malley and
comes from England.
There are four new books on pastor-al
theology.
Dr. Samuel Trexler, President of the
United Lutheran Synod of New York,
speaks from rich experience Out of
Thirty Five Years.
Bertie Cole Bays is the wife of a
Baptist Minister. She displays a happy
combination of satire, common sense,
keen appreciation of human nature,
and a good sense of humor in Some
Preachers Do.
Dr. William B. Riley's Pastoral Prob-lems
is helpful in that it deals with
specific cases and gives definite formu-lae
for their treatment. Among its
interesting "practical hints" is one on
filing sermon material.
The importance of evangelism in the
ministry is emphasized by Dr. Lee Rut-land
Scarborough of Louisville Semin-ary
in My Conception of the Gospel
Ministry.
ARE YOU GUILTY?
The College Library is the place set aside for study
and research. It is also intended that the rooms on the
third floor for music are to be used for that purpose. And
most of all, the prayer room should be used exclusively
for prayer and counsel.
Especially since the Christmas recess, has this special
place of prayer been used for the miscellanies of brain
work and vocal exercise. One can scarcely enter its por-tals
to be alone with God, without having extra company.
It is extremely hard to keep one's prayer tower period
intact, under these circumstances.
Now, it would be a great kindness—A Christ-like kind-ness—
if those few people who have trespassed on the
suppliant's and intercessor's privileges, would cease to do
so. There are times when unbearable burdens must be
rolled away. At other times, one must cry aloud with a
hungering concern for some friend or loved one. At all
times one's heart must hear messages and orders from
heaven undisturbed.
Shall we not as students, then, allow those in need of
healing and refreshing go to the streams of living water,
freely, without having to stumble on the stubble and
stones we so easily place in their path? In this case, self-examination
means cooperation.
"Burdened"
-:- Quiet Meditation -:-
By Donald Tanquist
"Be still and know that I am God;" Ps. 46:10.
We are living in an age of speed and noise, and
everyone is seeking wealth and glory for himself.
Wherever we go there is activity and life has the
appearance of an overturned ant hill. Humanity
acts in general as if there were only a few days of
existence left in this great universe. One sees this
hurry and bustle in every phase of life—in the
home, streets, school, and even in the church. It
seems to be one grand chase from the cradle to the
grave. Why all this excitement and activity? Is
God getting any glory therefrom or is His King-dom
progressing on earth? The sad fact is that God
is entirely left out of the picture. He created us for
the one purpose of becoming His witnesses; but in-stead
we have turned the tables and gone after
self-gain and advancement.
The Psalmist says: "Be still and know that I am
God". If we obeyed this command our program of
life would be changed. We would not be led to
think of ourselves and our own glory but would
earnestly ask God the question: "What would Thou
have me do, Lord"? Our hearts would be prepared
for His service in His great harvest fields and there
would be no time or thought for things of this world.
In being still and permitting God to speak to us, we
become Spirit-filled and full of His message. We
become ready to lead men and women to Christ.
Many inspiring examples of this very fact are given
to us in God's word. Moses was alone with God for
forty years before he started out to accomplish the
program God offered him. Samuel spent his youth-ful
days in the temple in the presence of almighty
God. David likewise had fellowship with God out
on the hillsides before he took up the task of ruling
God's chosen people for forty years. Even Jonah
spent a short period of only three days in miserable
circumstances, but he was alone with God, and God
gave him a message which was mighty and power-ful.
The Son of God was in the wilderness for forty
days and nights having communion with his heaven-ly
Father. Afterwards He started out on His great
mission. If Christ needed to be still and commune
with God, how much more do we if we are to per-form
well the Lord's service. Let us take time out
in our daily activity and wait upon the Lord. The
more we do this the greater power we will have in
our work for the Kingdom of God. God does not
always speak to us in the earthquake, fire, and
thunder, but in His small still voice. If we spend
much tine in quietness and meditation with our
Heavenly Father, He will be glorified in our work
or him.

CHAPEL NOTES
"Did not our hearts burn within us
when He was walking with us?" was
the theme of a chapel talk given by
Rev. J. G. Johnson of the Elim Baptist
Church of Minneapolis Tuesday, Janu-ary
5. In the course of his talk, Rev.
Johnson made the statement that if we
wanted to have our hearts burn within
us we should give a testimony for
Christ. Rev. Johnson also gave a mes-sage
in song.
"Life in any age is a perilous journey,
but we have before us the Light of God
to lead us on our way safely," stated
Rev. Allan R. Fredine of the Taber-nacle
Baptist Church of Minneapolis
at chapel Wednesday, January 6. His
subject was "The Open Door" and in
it he pictured the new year as an open
door with Christ going before us. He
said that we cannot live without hope
and faith and that God is our hope.
Former Opera Star Speaks
Senor Cappelli, Italian, who is doing
evangelistic work in the United States
and who has been holding services at
Arlington Hills Methodist church ap-peared
before chapel Monday, Janu-ary
11. Senor Cappelli gave the story
of his life. In it he told how, as a boy,
he had played in the Colosseum at
Rome and had later sung in the Vatican
choir. It was while he was in Italy that
he became a Christian but it was not
until one night when he was singing
in the opera "Faust" in one of the
eastern states that he decided to turn
his talents in work for the Lord.
Rev. Dahlberg Speaks
Rev. E. T. Dahlberg, pastor of the
First Baptist Church of St. Paul, brought
a stirring message January 15 on
"Christ as the Preacher of Peace."
Rev. Dahlberg very vividly depicted
the great cost in human lives of the
last war and stressed the need of preach-ing
the real basis of the Bible, namely
peace. Another thing he said we should
do was to unlearn many of the things
we have learned in studying history
in years past, one of them being the
wonderful glory of war.
Converted "Hobo" Tells Life Story
Rev. Fred "Haywire" Davis, former
hobo and criminal who has now been
doing Christian work for thirty-four
years and has lectured in twenty-four
states, spoke at chapel Monday, Janu-ary
18. He told the story of his life
picturing graphically the evils of liv-ing
a sinful life. He was converted in
a Mission in Minneapolis.
Pres. Emeritus of Macalaster Here
Dr. James Wallace, President Emer-itus
of Macalaster College spoke before
chapel Tuesday, January 19. Although
87 years of age, he is still a very force-ful
and interesting speaker. Speaking
of world conditions today he said, "I
can't imagine that any Christian ought
to be a pessimist."
Rev. Thorwall Addresses Student Body
"See that you walk circumspectly,
not as fools" was the subject of a mes-sage
by Rev. Axel Thorwall, who has
been holding special meetings in the
Swedish Evangelical Free Church of
St. Paul during the past two weeks.
Rev. Thorwall said that we could be
of a great help to God while we are in
school if we would give our lives
to Christ now instead of later.
Jubilee Singers
The Jubilee Singers, who have been
appearing in the Twin Cities for a
considerable length of time, entertained
the students and faculty members at
chapel Thursday, January 21. Among
the selections which the group sang,
were the following negro spirituals:
"Gonna Sing All Over God's Heaven",
"Every Time I Feel the Spirit Moving
in my Heart", "You Better Mind", "No-body
Knows the Trouble I See", "Joshua
at the Battle of Jericho", and "There's
a Little Wheel A-Movin' in My Heart".
Playing the first game of the year
without the services of Carl Young,
star guard, who has been forced to
leave school because of unforeseen cir-cumstances,
Bethel's basketball team
dropped a "ding-done battle by the
score of 32-27 to Concordia Jr. College
of St. Paul on Wednesday, January 13
in the Bethel Gym. It was the first Con-ference
defeat of the year for the Red
and White which now has won one and
lost one for a standing of 500 in the
League.
Bethel started the scoring with two
"hoops" from the floor but then failed
to dent the scoring column until the
Comets had run up a 10-4 lead mid-way
through the first half. Play was
more or less even from then on until
the "rest period", Concordia leaving
the floor on the long end of an 18-10
count.
Returning to the floor at the end of
the intermission the Red and White
gradually pulled up on the Visitors un-til
only 3 points separated the two
teams. At this point Concordia, with
Mack showing the way, staged a rally
which opened up a lead that the clos-ing
Red and White rush was unable to
overcome.
Bethel's entire squad turned in a
nice game and showed lots of fight all
the way. With a little more accuracy
from the free-throw line they might
have won, as both teams were even in
field goals. Gordon Anderson led the
Red and White shot-makers with 10
points. Mack, the Visitors sensational
center, totaled 16 points for his team
scoring exactly half of their points.

Bethel turned in a miserable first-half
against University Farm School in
the game played Friday, January 15, on
the Aggies floor and wound up on the
short end of a 29-18 score.
For the first fifteen minutes of the
game the Red and White was held to
only 1 point while the Aggies were
making 17. During the rest of the game
Betlif.1 consistently outplayed their op-ponents
but the damage was already
done.
For Bethel Richert, Ferre, and Ap-plequist
looked the best. Florin, the
Aggies center, was high man for his
outfit, making 1! points.
Boy's Vocational Wins
Boy's Vocational of Minneapolis de-feated
Bethel 36-32 in the game played
between the two teams on Monday,
January 18, in Minneapolis.
The Red and White led by 1 point
at the half-time, but, dogged by hard
luck, fell behind in the second period.
Shots that should have gone in just
refused to drop.
"Gordy" Anderson, with 8 points,
was again high point man for Bethel.
Ballot starred for Vocational.
Alumni Lose to Varsity;
Game is Closely Fought
The Bethel Basketball Team played
the Alumni at Bethel, Saturday night,
January 16. In a closely fought game
the varsity barely nosed out the alum-ni
squad by a score of 29-26.
The members of the Alumni team
were F. Nelson, D. Peterson, P. Dahlen,
V. Olson, C. Dickau, and C. Young.
G. Ferre was the high scorer of the
evening scoring eleven points for the
winners and V. Olson, who scored 10
points for the losers, was second.
BETHEL FIVE
GIVE WALDORF
FIRST DEFEAT
Waldorf Leads at Half
Fighting from behind with less than
a minute and a half to go to knot the
count at 29 all on two converted free
throws by Gordy Anderson and then
going out in front on a beautiful side-shot
by Wilbur Sorley, Bethel's hoop-sters
turned in a 31-29 victory over
the League-leading Waldorf Jr. College
team in a sensational game played Sat-urday,
January 23, at Forest City, Iowa.
The victory was doubly sweet to the
Red and White as it pushed them into
a virtual tie for first place and was ac-complished
while handicapped by the
absence of Coach "Bucky" Johnson,
who couldn't make the trip, and also
one team member.
Bethel opened the scoring in the first
few minutes of play on a gift shot by
Sorley, but Waldorf came back with
two quick field goals and a free throw
to open a 5-1 advantage. The Red and
White counter-rallied with three hoops
from the floor to take a short-lived lead
and then gradually fell behind as the
home team forged ahead. At the half-time
the score was 1 9-1 5 in favor of
Waldorf.
Shortly after the second half opened,
Bethel made up the four points and
from then on matched basket for bas-ket
with their opponents amid a din
that was deafening, but wasn't able to
gain the lead at any time. With min-utes
to go, and the score tied at 27-27,
Waldorf again pulled out in front 29-
27. It looked like this might be the
end for the Red and White, but the team
had the stuff and came back with the
attack that carried them to victory.
Every one of the six men that saw
action for Bethel played beautiful games
filling their assignments in fine style.
It would be difficult to pick out any
individual star. For Waldorf Rorem
at center was high scorer.

other occupations.

by the death of his brother-in-law

Carl will be missed greatly by the bas-ketball

of the column -Two Penny Lines".
