The Church And
The Community
BY REV. jobs. KNUDSEN

To many people it would be ridic-
God, and at first glance it would
seem entirely unnecessary to pay any
attention to such a question. Isn't
it quite obvious that God is God?
Well then, why bring it up?-A view
of the religious thinking of our age
will show, however, that the ques-
ton is a very common one, and that
an immense amount of effort is being
spent in describing God.
To many people God just isn't
He doesn't exist to them. This is
partly due to ignorance or indiffer-
ence, but there are many who DELHI
erately deny His existence. In the
authority of their own supreme being
they declare that there is no God.
Others again construct God that
fits in with their own ideas. God
is limited by concepts that are given
primary importance. Such concepts
are often political or social. In Nazi
Germany the race is supreme, and
God is placed in subsection to this
idea. The Marxist adopts mater
ialistic view of life and evaluates
God accordingly. Many modernists
shear God of all attributes that do
not fit with their so-called scientific
viewpoint. Conservatives think OF
God as one who maintains, and rad
icals call Him a revolutionary Co.
operators have been known to talk
in terms of a cooperative kingdom
when speaking of God, ETC., etc. Very
few of us do not have some pet ideas
to the measure of which we try to
fit God. We describe God and we
limit God, and when we do this we
perhaps unknowingly, ask the ques-
ton: Who is God.
We begin at the wrong end. We
start with our own ideas and 90
toward God. This would compare
to a situation where scientist said:
/ am looking for something whose
character l do not know, but 1 have
the conviction that it is red Cor
black), therefore it must be red Cor
black). Such a procedure would be
wrong, and SO are we when we 60 to
God with pre-conceived ideas.
In the wilderness God revealed
His name to Moses, according to the
old story in Genesis. He said: My
name is Yahweh. We translate this
into the word Jehovah, but it really
literally means: I AM. That is the
first thing about God. HE is ir-
respective of what we think about
Him or know about Him. We can
deny Him and denounce Him. We
can limit Him by our ideas or desires.
Nevertheless, HE is, the same, un-
changed, Interchangeable. AS it is put
in the ancient words: / AM THE
LORD, THY GOD.

when it was necessary to slaughter
a great many cattle, hogs and sheep
to check its spread and, as 1 remem-
Der, the epidemic cost the farmers
of the corn belt states many millions
of dollars.
I talked this matter over with
Secretary Wallace more than year
ago and he expressed the opinion
then that there was no danger of
bringing the disease into this coun-
try through importations of dressed
meats. l am going to send DR..

Admitted to Practice.
On Monday of last week former
Governor Murphy of Michigan, who
a few days prior had been named
attorney general of the United States,
was admitted to practice before the
Supreme Court of the United States.
Mr.. Murphy is lawyer, but like
Justice Black, his practice had never
taken him beyond the police courts
until named head of the legal de-
partment of the United States.

Legislative News
BY c. G. MANN,
Representative from Pine County

The 51st session of the Minnesota
Legislature opened on Tuesday of last
week. Seemingly in cooperation
with the whirlwind campaign and
ideas of the new Governor, the first
day of the session was featured by
the accomplishment of more than at
any previous session for many years.
With only little over an hours de-
bate, three candidates for speaker
were nominated and Lawrence Hall
of st. Cloud, thirty-year old attor-
ney and life long Democrat, was
elected speaker with one hundred
votes. Edward Hagen, chairman of
the tax committee of last session, was
the regular Farmer-Labor candidate
(although no political designations
are made in the legislature) and re-
ceived nineteen votes, while Theodor
Slen of Lac Qui Parle county, was
nominated as a leader of the indie
pendent group and received ten votes.
John Zwach, also an independent
received one vote, that of Mr.. Slen.
The writer voted for Hall, with
the idea that he was the man most
likely to try to carry out the liberal,
progressive and at the same time
not radical, program of the new Gov
ernor. Although propaganda papers
will probably assert that the legisla-
ture is in control of "reactionaries, T"
we feel that there is a spirit of CO.
operation between the legislative,
executive and judicial branches of
the state government this year that
has been sadly lacking for many
years.
With the rules committee, the only
permanent committee so far an
nounced, and the advisory committee
on committees working long hours
in trying to place the many new
members on committees suitable to
them, the House adjourned over the
weekend.

Good Attendance at Meeting.

The joint meeting of the Com
mercial club and the Volunteer Fire
Department held Monday evening at
the D. B. S. hall was well attended.
1t was decided that the two organiza-
tons should be consolidated and
have meetings on the second Monday
of the even numbered months, thus
the next meeting will be the second
Monday in February, which is the
18th.
The treasurer's annual report
showed a balance of few dollars
in both the general fund and in the
recreational fund and the member
ship committee reported that 80 had
paid their dues of ST for the year
1939-an excellent start.
The election of officers for the con-
solidated organization for the year
1899 resulted as follows: Svend
Petersen, president; Clarence Morgen-
sen, vice president; DR.. I. E. Parson,
secretary; MILFORD Olesen, treasurer;
and Edmund Rix, director.
It was decided to devote the bulk
of the February meeting to matters
pertaining to the fire department,
and Clarence Morgensen was in
structed to endeavor to secure an in
structor from the state department
for that evening Further announce
ments will be made relative to this in
later issues.
The evening terminated with lunch
and entertainment.

THE MIRROR
AskOv Public Schools
The doors of the school were opened

The doors of the school were opened
Monday morning, January 8, to well
come back the student body and the
faculty for the remainder of the
1938-1939 school term. Enthusiasm
for a bright new year in our school
work was aroused by the polished
appearance of the interior of the
schoolhouse, as the floors have been
vanished, the curtains have been
washed and starched, and rooms as a
whole have been put in good order.
A number of new games have been
added to the recreational activities
in the school. They are the popular
game of Chinese checkers, the fas-
cinating game of parcheesi and the
amusing game of lotto. The student
body appreciates all of these games
and makes good use of them and
also their leisure time about school
playing them.
The junior high school boys seem
to be very enthusiastic about the
round robin basketball tournament
that is being played. Teams have
been selected by Mr.. Jensen, who
based his selections on age, height
and weight in order to give each team
an equal chance. There are five teams
and games are played on Monday and
Friday Moons.
The first basketball game in the
year of 1889 will be played at the
D. B. S. hall Friday evening, January
Is, when Askov meets Willow River
The boys are on winning streak
having won the last four games, but
Friday is the thirteenth! Will that
break it? Come and see!
