The Church And
The Community
BY REV. jobs. KNUDSEN

1t should not be amiss in COM
munity of this type to call attention
to the fact that mail to the 'old
country" should be sent now in order
to make it for Christmas There are
still many members of the community
who have parents or relatives abroad
that are anXiously looking forward
to letter at Christmas. The lack of
that letter might cause an extra
tear on Christmas eve, although it
does come few days later. Let us
therefore all remember to write, and
if we have not done so already, let
us not postpone any longer. Few
things are more important this week.
Writing letters may seem burden
to most pepole, and yet it is one
of the best ways in which we can
prepare for Christmas. Most of our
activities involve a rush which in
creases and accumulates until we
fairly gasp for breath. Writing a
letter enables us to relax and med
itate and to share good things with
each others. And penning Christ
mas message demands mood and a
spirit of good will and friendliness,
unless, of course, we are consistent
in our modern superficiality and con-
fine ourselves to signing our name
to a pretty card We must naturally
send greetings to far greater num-
Der than we have time to write let
tiers to, but our closest friends and
relatives deserve more than a sigma
ture.
The spirit of Christmas has been
expressed in the words "peace on
earth and good will toward men,"
Unfortunately there have been many
times since last Christmas when we
have thought unkindly of each other,
spoken unfriendly words, or written
mean things. The spirit of Christ
mas should help us overcome our
Selfshness SO that we give room for
kindness and helpfulness.
At present we are all concerned
with plans for Christmas gifts. May
we remember that we give presents
not only out of tradition or friendli-
ness but also because the occasion
is joyous one. The wise men Of
fered gold, myrrh and incense to
celebrate great and happy event.
Let us hope that we give presents
to each other, because we want to
express the great Joy in our hearts.
And let us try to express that Joy
also in devotion and thankfulness.
May the spirit of Christmas begin
to claim our hearts also through our
many preparations.

campaign, hundreds of state high
school cage teams are ready for con-
tests they hope will lead to the state
championship, and the Minneapolis
hockey team in the thick of another
hot American Association race, Min
nesota fans have plenty of activities
to follow
The Gopher basketball team prom
Uses to be one of the best in years,
although anything can happen in
sports as the many upsets during the
football season proved. The Gophers
have IL lettermen available, and
among them are Johnny Kundla and
Gordon Addington, two of the best
scoring forwards in the Big Ten;
Martin Rolek, All-American and ALL
Conference guard; and Bob Manly,
regular center last year. Kundla,
Rolek and Manly live in the Twin
Cities while Addington halls from
Wahkon
Paul Maxi of Aurora at present
is leading Butch Nash of Minneapo-
lis for the guard position vacated
by Dick Seebach of Red Wing. Henry
johnson of Two Harbors, is another
guard prospect. Gordon Spear of
Miles City, Mont, for awhile appeared
to be ahead of Manly for the center
job, but the veteran took over the
regular spot this week. Harold Van
Every of Wayzata is giving the squad
some scoring punch by showing the
same accuracy shooting basketball
as he had tossing passes on the foot
ball field.
The Gophers are looking ahead to
an eastern trip during the Christmas
holidays which takes them into Madi-
son Square garden, New York city,
for games with New York univer-
sity and Long Island university.
State high school teams are play
ing their opening games this week.
It is still too early to pick favorites
for the district titles, but one thing
as ever, and that is plenty hot.
The Minneapolis hockey situation
is ideal. The last years association
champions are located in the upper
strata fifteen days ahead of last years
record, with three game road trip
on this week. Coach Joe Simpson
would be satisfied with an even break,
that is a victory, loss and tie. In
fact any manager in the league con-
siders a road trip a success if they
break even.
The ST. Louis contest, due to be
played during the current road trip,
was postponed owing to difficulties
in obtaining the use of the Flyers
rink. An optional contract controlling
the use of the rink caused the post
pOnement.
With their early showing, the Mil
lers appear to be the strongest team
defenSively in the league and boast
of an offense equal to any other club.
George Patterson, center ace, created
somewhat of stir in the hockey
ranks by totalling seven points in two
games to place himself among the
scoring leaders. The same Patterson
also caused the Miller management
moments of anxiety with an illness
that was first thought of as appen-
dicitis but it was only a stomach
ailment and the scoring leader is back
in the lineup.
Two important developments de-
veloped in the University of Mime
sofa hockey situation. The first was
the report that Wisconsin is now con-
sidering entering the hockey confer
ence which, at present, consists of
Minnesota and Michigan. The other
was the cancellation of the McMaster
series on December Is and II.
