Armistice Day Celebrated.
Askov Public Soho,

Last Thursday, Nov. II, the high
school students celebrated Armistice,
it being 10 years since that memoir
able day when the nations of the
world proclaimed peace with one
another.
Gunnar Frederiksen read an article
by Lincoln Steffens entitled "The
Price of Peace" This article CEN
tered mostly about the Armistice day
of 1918, although it dealt with cir
cumstances of 1887 as WELL Lincoln
Steffens writes clearly of the hope
of everlasting peace. This hope has
always been expressed by the masses.
They never went to war because of
personal hatred. They have been
influenced by propaganda. They
have gone to war, thinking they were
saving their own country, the ma
tons of the world and making the
world safe for democracy. This hope
for peace was believed to be full
filled by President Wilson. However,
at that time there was only one man
that saw the only method to obtain
everlasting peace. This was Glenn
enceau, the French premier. To
avoid another war, he said, we must
break down our tariff walls and stop
our imperialistic motives. All nations
refused to do this, and for this rea-
son we are confronted with the same
problem which the people faced in
1918.
Hilma Seablom recited the poem
''In Flanders Field" by McCrae.
jeanette Simonsen also read a well
known poem, Unknown" by Bruce
Barton.
The junior high pupils presented
play, "The Vegetable Stew" The
characters were Paul Hansen, a Rus
sian refugee of Paris; Clara Sandahl,
his wife; John Seablom, his son; and
Ena Lewison, his daughter. Albin
Degerstrom played the part of an old
beggar.
The senior high glee club sang two
songs, namely, mighty LAX Rose"
by Ethelbert Nevin, and Dear Land
of Home" from the poem, Elm
landla, by Jean SlbelluS. Several
group songs were sung.
Elementary Grades.
Thanksgiving decorations in the
form of turkey, pumpkin and fruit
basket posters now adorn the walls
of the third and fourth grade room.
The fourth graders are studying the
desert lands, in their geography class
On Wednesday of this week the
Askov schools lost a good teacher
Miss Delsa Alexander, who for the
past two years has taught grades three
and four, was granted release to &C
cept position as second grade teach
er in the Hinckley public schools.
Askov friends regret to see Miss
Alexander leave, but wish her the
best of luck in her new position.

The Church And
The Community
BY REV. jobs. KNUDSEN

The editor of the ASkov American
has been kind enough to ask me
to contribute paragraph to the
paper every week. 1 welcome this
opportunity and express my graft
tude. 1 hope something good may
develop out of it.
The church in this community, as
in every community, has one great
purpose and responsibility. Its task
is to bring a message which is the
word of God. The task of a min
lister is first and foremost to convey
that message, and this is done in the
fellowship of the congregation and in
the homes of those who cannot come
to the church. His task is not neces-
sarily that of a journalist.
The church is not a watchdog of
public and private morals. 1t is
not an oracle that can solve all prob
lens. 1t is not a political or social
movement which claims the solution
to our practical difficulties. 1t
breaches a word of life to the indi-
vidual and it unites in a fellowship
of that word. If it is faithful to this
task, it will be the means of a life
from above that will influence the
individual in his own living and
in his responsibility toward others.
When we think of our faithfulness we
can only be Inundated.
But there are problems that arise
in the community and the society
in which the church is placed. About
these problems the men and women
of the church should have an opinion
and a right to express their opinion.
I am happy for the opportunity to
express such opinions in these col
umnS. 1t should be understood that
I do not claim any special authority
nor special right But 1 will try to
write from what l consider a Chris
tan viewpoint.
A ray of light can pierce the dark
est gloom. The gloom may be that
of despair, of evil, of doubt, of in
difference, of lonesomeness, of hope
lessness. Let us all hope we may
become an aid to that beam of light
