Progress of the Campaign
(T\URING January the campaign has been
-^ hampered by cold weather and impassable
roads, so we have not made as much progress as
we had expected, bu1 as booii as the weather turns
we expect renewed activity.
In a few places the work has been practically
finished, and the results are encouraging.
One of the oldest living graduates sends his
check for $100, saying, "It is a great pleasure to
me to be able—if only in a small measure—to
express my gratitude for what I have received
from old Augsburg."
The younger generation is also showing the
right kind of interest. Our young people and the
children in Sunday schools have responded beyond expectation.
A key-man in a church that finished its canvass Dec. 28 writes: "All seemed to be cheerful
givers, but I think it would be well if the need
were more fully explained."
That is just exactly what is needed. We who
understand the need must instruct those who are
uninformed. Spread the bulletins. Encourage
by precept and example.
We have received two $500 contributions, one
from a party in Minneapolis and one from a party
in North Dakota. A $400 contribution was sent
in as a memorial from eight heirs.
The great bulk of the campaign remains yet to
be done.    From now on we must speed up.
The Manager.

OUR SCHOOLS AND HOME MISSIONS
/IT this time, when so much is done to bring
-^ out the relationship existing between the
different activities of our church and its schools,
it is but right and proper that a statement should
be made about the inter-relations of home missions and our institutions of learning. At the request of the editors of this bulletin the following
is attempted.
It is not difficult to find material for a presentation of this sort. However, a bare sketch, necessarily brief and not at all complete, must suffice
to show the connection.
When the Lutheran Free Church began its
work some thirty odd years ago, the first step was
to secure the needed support for our theological
seminary. This is obvious. No church body could
exist for any length of time, work up and maintain a certain degree of prestige, without schools.
In all enterprises there must be leaders. The
leaders must be well informed; they must be disciplined; trained. Else they could not lead. This
training is done in schools of the right sort. Exceptionally, in "the university of hard knox," but
generally, in established institutions of learning.
