WELCOME TO
NEW PASTOR
tcontinued from Page u

Danish-American. He emphasized the
value of knowing and being able to
use two anguages-having the oppor-
tunity then to appreciate the history,
literature and folk lore of more than
one country-in the case of the Dan
ish-Americans the literature from
America, Canada, the British Isles,
Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. There
are great treasures to be sought in
those languages and from these peo-
Piles.
Possessing a good voice, the pastor
spoke of his love for song and how
he had enjoyed especially the singing
by large classes of young people at
Dagmar, how the young folks would
make drives of many miles even in
cold weather to be present and enjoy
the good old songs and sing to their
hearts cantent. He expressed his de-
sire for that to be carried on here
also, as it has in the past.
The Rev. Frost said that the spirit
of God is carried on in the quiet life,
IL
shouting. He quoted the Revs. v. S.
Jensen and Karl Nielsen in some of
their aspects on religion and life in
general, to let that which is innermost
in the heart of the individual grow
and develop which will result in
richer and purer life.
Others Speak.
Before the pastor spoke refresh
ments had been enjoyed and several
others had given short talks, being
called upon by A. Gravesen who di
rected the program. Svend Petersen
said that the many who had gathered
lily to the community, and while there
was regret at the departure of the
DyrebOrgs, nevertheless there should
be no anxiety felt for that which is
new, which is so often the case. He
dipped little into history and showed
how folks had fretted the oncoming
of the railroads, the ships, the
universal education and much other,
only to have it approved after it be-
came established. Louis Olsen spoke
of memories, some of the things that
were outstanding about the four pas
tors who have labored in the Askov
community previous to the coming of
the Rev. Frost. He said he was not
strong for having farewell parties but
was glad to welcome folks to the COM
munity, and the welcome, assistance
and cheerfulness should be extended
by all of us to the pastor and his
helpers each day. "In fact" said
Mr.. Olsen, make it welcome each
to one another, every day, more cheer
fulness." Outstanding in his memory
was a church convention nine years
ago when Arthur E. Frost and sew
eral other young men had finished
their theological studies and went out
to take up their work amongst the
people.
A Worker.
Chr Sandahl, a student at the
Grand View College, Des Moines, at
the same time the Rev. Frost was
there, expressed his personal welcome
to the new pastor and his family. He
said that the congregation here has
always impressed him, in the nine
years he has resided in the commun-
ity, as being anxious to do something
for it's pastor and to make it homelike
