Church and Home
By REV. M. MIKKELSEN

Il am among you as he that serves"
New Testament stating the relation
of Jesus to man has been used as a
pattern to describe the true rela-
ton of the church to its constituency.
AS such it has been severely chal-
Ienged by Harold Bell Wright in his
book, The Calling of Dan Matthews.
Ministers, he says, are useless be-
cause they are not free; they are
slaves, not servants. Their first duty
is not service to the soul-sick world
that so much needs their ministry,
but obedience to the whims of this
hideous monster that they have Gre
ated and now must obey. Further
more, they are never valued for the
worth of their own lives. They are
hired to give always the opinions of
others, and they are denied the only
thing that can make life worth while:
Freedom of self-expression. The sur
est road to failure for them is to
hold or express opinions of their own.
They are set apart by the church
not to a ministry but from it. Their
very personal influence is less than
the influence of other good men be-
cause the world accepts it as pro-
fessional. 1t is the way they earn
their living.
This tale of the servants of the
church is a challenge rather than
criticism In the opinion of Mr..
Wright these servants even if they
wanted could not be among the peo-
pie as they that serve. They must
serve and obey the institution they
have created, or get out. Freedom
of self-expression is sure to end up
with crucifixion. We certainly need
men today who will be among us as
those who serve more than we need
the church. AS long as we are more
concerned about counting attendance
than we are counting conversions the
need we serve is not a real need,
rather an imaginary.
Jesus gave unto His neighbor the
benefit of His sacrifice.
Unselfishness in service is the high
est honor anyone can get; this honor
is available to all regardless OF social
standing.

Peter Hansen of Withee. Dies.


Peter Hansen of Withee, Wis, died
of heart failure at his home in Withee
Thursday, January 80. Funeral serv-
ices were conducted Saturday at the
Danish Lutheran church there, with
Rev. j. L. j. DiXen officiating. The re-
mains were laid to rest in the ceme-
terry which surrounds the church.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chris Hansen and
Mr.. and Mrs. Svend Petersen at
tended the funeral.
In addition to the relatives there
are great many friends in and
around Withee who mourn the loss
of this popular, comparatively young
Gust above 60 years. and robust
friends throughout the states who
will regret to learn that Mr.. Hansen
has passed to the Great Beyond. In
years gone by Mr.. Hansen has at
tended a great many church con-
ventions and young peoples con-
ventions where he invariably had his
photographing outfit along to take
large group photos of the audience.
Thus many a home has been beauti-
fed by his work. During the later
years Mr.. Hansen had developed a
fine business repairing and rebind-
ing school books and library books,
as well as worn books treasured by
individuals.
The American joins with host of
friends throughout the land in ex-
tending sympathy to the bereaved
family in their hour of great sorrow.

Golfer Slices Tee Shot;
It's a Pocket in One
A pOcket-in-OneI

Ell PASO.-A pocket-in-one!
That's what Chuck Scarborough
made while touring an Ell Paso golf
course.
Scarborough teed off on the eighth
hole. The little white pellet sliced
into tree, and bounced back in the
middle of three of his fellow players.
The ball hit Robert Shirleys chest
and glanced off an upthrown finger.
After the incident the foursome
began searching for the ball. Shir-
ley, reaching for a cigarette in his
shirt pocket, was amazed to find the
ball there.
Scarborough, today, claims credit
for the most mysterious shot in the
history of southwestern golfdom.

Carnival.
The recent flood of question marks
around town has now been replaced
by some advertisements for the school
carnival to be held On Friday, Febru-

movies, floor show, eat shop, style

The flu has kept many out of school
the past few weeks. At the beginning
of this week, Miss Cole, Miss Ander-
son and Miss Johnson were all i'll, and
a complete substitution was required
in the grades.

game. Despite the fine team work
shown by our opponents, Askov was
victorious. The final score was "a to

Round Trip IL Months.

Before the present European con-
flict it was common practice to eX-
change letters with friends in Den
mark within one month. Such is not
the case now. An ASkovite sent a
letter to Denmark the 18th of March,
1910. 1t was received by the adj
dressee the middle of November; the
party wrote back on the oath of
November, 1910, and the answer
reached Askov the 2nd of February,
thus nearly IL months for the round
trip. Moral from this is: Send your
letters by air mail.
