Danish people in America. They
were canny enough to see that
It wouldn't do. Their children
had to earn their living here in
this country when they were
grown and must be prepared for
it the right way.
SO having given their chill
dren an American education on
week days they must have their
religion in Danish on Sundays.
How very strangel For earning
ones living one is permitted to
use the American language but
to worship God we must do it
in Danish One wonders if God
can understand American. The
children have such faith in their
parents and when old enough
TO reason and think seriously a
bout these things that should
mean so much in their lives they
wonder just why their religion
must be conducted in Danish.
Can anyone give a good reason

Anyone who has studied the
Bible in the American language
and who has heard the hymns
TRANSLATED from Danish sung,
cannot say so. The different
rites, translated from Danish,
like baptism, weddings, b%urials,
are impressive and give n a
feeling of reverence and under
standing.

ate say this. There r any
number of American translations
of original Danish work, and
many have not lost by the
change.
We all know that many Of
the older people who have come
to this country have not be

the American language, and for
such we make allowances. 4
number of churches are holding
at least one weekly service In
American and it's just a matter
Of time before we will all be
having the service for the young
peoples society in the American
language and | think it will be
welcomed especially by those
young people who have served
in the war and know what Anne
RIGA stands for.
1t would be interesting to
hear other young folks views
on this matter. The change will
he gradual. There is nothing to
be afraid Of. If we can trust
our American neighbors in our
daily life surely we can trust
God here in America as well as
in Denmark.
The future welfare Of our
church demands cooperation
now and in order to get that
we must have the young genera

be no future.
So let us bear with one anoth-
err and work together for the
