Rev. Aage Miller of Nysted, Nebr.,
was in Askov last Thursday and gave
a lecture in the church that evening.
He had lectured at West Denmark,
Wis, and Minneapolis and the Askov
date was hurriedly arranged so the
attendance was not so large as it
might otherwise have been. Rev.
Miller spoke principally on liberty
and the Importance of each person
righting his own path and letting
others right their paths-going way
back to the middle ages and touching
upon events to the present day. He
dwelt upon P1ritanism and said it
was good but too strict. Rev. Miller
said there are too many organiza-
tions which tends to envelop the indi-
vidual and does not build for more
freedom and individualism. While
it is quite probable that number of
those in the audience did not agree
with all of his ideas-and some of
them may be difficult to carry out
in the practical life-it is neverthe-
less enlightening and upbuilding to
hear a lecture by Rev. Miller who is
a student and a worker, an idealist
who has a message to bring and has
the courage of his convictions. He
was accompanied to Askov by his
father, P. Miller, and Rev. Holger
