The Value of the Inter-class Contests
in the Academy Christianity Classes
The Christianity Inter-class Contest
between the academy students of
North Park College has been of a
great benefit to me.
In the first place this contest has
appealed to my honor, as it would not
be fair to my group if I were not
punctual in my attendance and in the
preparation of my lessons. Conse-quently
I did not miss any of the
valuable class recitation, and through
the careful study of my lessons learn-ed
more of the world's most important
book, the Bible.
Through the use of this system
there is the tendency to eliminate
whimpering and ill-behavior. As a re-sult
of this there is more quietness and
reverence in the class, which there
should always be when the Bible Is
studied. Also as there is nothing to
detract your attention front the sub-ject
a great interest is attained.
The contest has developed my pati-ence
in that I have tried to make other
members of my group as interested as
I am in Christianity and at the sante
time widened my circle of personal ac-quaintances.
Furthermore, it stimulates compe-tition
among the classes, and it is
through competition that cooperation
is successfully developed. Sometime
or later in our life we must learn how
to co-operate, and I believe that our
Christianity classes help us in learn-ing
this essential fact so necessary for
our future.

North Park Mission Church for nearly
nine years, last Sunday read his resig-nation

Rev. Mr. Wallin has been a true
friend of the school (we have affection-ately
called him the "College Pastor")
and the news of his leaving is received
with regrets.

WHEATON A('ADEMY BEATEN
IN DEBATE
Our boys of the Academy Debating
team went to Wheaton College last
Monday evening for a forensic battle
with the academy debaters of that
school. They brought back the good
news of a decisive victory to their
credit. The "News" joins in the cheers
for our boys!
MUSIC NOTES
The concert given by the North
Park Trio at the Gym, March 25th
proved a success. There was a fine at-tendance
and the program offered was
instructive as well as entertaining. A
string trio is an interesting ensemble.
It is able to produce beautiful sympho-pie
effects, both pianissimo and for-tissimo.
Although years ago the
string trio was limited to the classical
collections written for it, today, it has
as many possibilities of beautiful re-pertoire
as has a symphony. Profess-ors
Swanson and Earnest are members
of our teaching staff. Mr. Zedler and
Professor Swanson are members of the
Chicago Symphony Orchestra, also.
Mr. Kling has been busy filling ma-ny
club and concert dates. He is to be
soloist in several Elijah performances.
The Misses Udd and Strom took part
in the recital program given by the
artists pupils of their teacher, Miss
Bessie Williams Sherman, at Columbia
School of Music, Friday. March 25.
There was a fine representation from
the music students, and the number
played by these two young lady mem-

ANNUAL FRAY STAGED IN
MINNEAPOLIS NEXT WEEK
THE CRYSTAL GAZER
"Podunk Siding!"
One lonely cow stands desolately by
the railroad track watching the train
in a typical Minnesota fashion. With a
bang, a window of the crowded railroad
coach is thrown open and from the
depths of the interior protrudes an
arm which slowly unfolds towards the
wistful quadruped. Swan Westrom is
sympathetically patting the cow. Mark
Newell wildly grabs a pad and sketches
the beautiful creature for the viking
section of the Cupola art work, while
coach Gustayson analyzes the cow's
philosophy of life from the hypochon.
drial expression in her liquid eyes.
Only meaningless grunts emit from
the direction of Rudy and Eric, who
are ensconced in a pile of banana
peels and pop bottles. The bell clangs,
the cow renders a heart-breaking E
flat, and with a rattle the dusty car
loaded with loyal North Parkers con-tinues
its eventful journey towards the
scene of the 1927 forensic fray, Min-nelialia
Acadamy.
This is all that the crystal would
reveal to the curious "News" repre-sentative.
The team together with a
crowd of supporters, will leave for
Minneapolis Thursday, April 7, and
the debate takes place the following
evening. This year's contest has
aroused considerable interest, and the
sale of tickets has been large, due to
a half holiday reward for the class
selling the greatest number. As to the
outcome, modesty prevents us from
printing the secrets of the crystal ball,
but the next issue of the "News" will
carry a detailed account.
It is expected that quite a number
of our students will accompany our
team on their trip to our sister school.
They will constitute an honor guard
when the boys return with the cup.
PROFESSOR WALLGREN'S
MOTHER PASSES AWAY
Mrs. Eric Wallgren, wife of the Rev.
Mr. Wallgren, and mother of Professor
A. S. Wallgren, died last week after
an illness of several weeks. She had
been a resident of the North Park
community for many years and had
acquired a large circle of friends. Be-sides
the son mentioned above she
leaves two daughters and three sons,
one of whom is Mr. Eric Wallgren, Jr.,
president of the North Park College
Alumni Association. The funeral was
held last Friday at the local church.
The school was represented by the
faculty members as well as a large
number of students.

VOUTH
Say in what hour shall youth be ever still.
And of what hope for youth is peace in spring:
I stood upon the brow of every hill.
And in may mind I leap the trees and sing.
Say how can hours repeat their loveliness
Though punctual to the end of endless time;
Spring shall not lean npon the sky in such a dress
In any other year or other clime.
Beneath my feet the pushing of the sod,
The toting of all roots to lie above.
Ascends along my veins and up to God.
I stretch my arms and ache with t eaven-love.
Say low can youth be otherwise than
Peace cannot be when spring leans on the sky!
David Sorter.
EARNING AN EDUCATION.
Some schools etnphnsize the fact
that it is possible for their students
to earn their own way through col-lege.
Particularly is this true of Chi-cago
schools, as the numerous and
varied industries of this great city
offer excellent opportunities to the
young man who must earn a living
while seeking his education.
Although no attempt has been made
here at North Park College to adver-tise
the possibilities of a student's
working his way through, an examina-tion
of the registrar's records reveals
that over fifty per cent of the men en-rolled
in the Junior College are melf-supporting.
It is considered heroic for a student
to earn his way through college, but
the figures just cited show that such
heroism is very common. These men,
however, who have the ambition to
overcome the difficulties which beset
them, are the men who will COMP out
of school well fitted to find a place in
the busy world. OW Anderson.
MUSIC NOTES

hers of our faculty were very much en-toyed.
Miss Sandberg has been doing a fine
piece of work with the Girls' Glee
Club. Those of us who heard their
program over WQJ were charmed by
the sweet tones, lovely phrasing, and
pleasing harmony. Conclusive proof
that both the director and members
are serious in their work was provided
by this effective performance.
Tune in on WQJ et ery Friday even-ing
at seven o'clock—and the last Sun,
day of the month front two to three.
S
CHAPEL CORNER
On Tuesday, March 15, the Rev. W.
E. Loucks of the Albany Park Baptist
church gave UR a very inspiring and
worth-while message.
Prof. N. W. Lund had charge of the
service on Wednesday. In his talk he
expressed the importance of the atti
tude our neighbors, we ourselves, and
God takes toward us.
A very good musical program was
rendered on March 17. The piano solo
by Miss Elsie Silver was greatly en-joyed,
as were the vocal solos by Mr.
Norman Kling and the delightful
violin numbers by Miss Grace Hanson.
On Friday, Miss Wicklund, one of
the workers from the mission field in
Mongolia, spoke to us in a very inter-esting
and forceful way. We thank
God for this able and willing servant.
On March 22 Miss Sohlberg em-phasized
the fact that loyalty to the
standards of our school should be en-couraged
and upheld. We appreciate
this exhortation and desire to live up
to it.
On Wednesday, March 23, we enjoy.
ed another of our delightful song ser-vices.
What feelings and thoughts
are not extfressed in these beautiful
hymns.
Prof Nyvall's address March 24 was
on the "Kingdom of God." Every
thinking student enjoys and appreci
ales these talks immensely.
March 25 Dr. Branch talked to us
about "The Wonderful Christ." Would
that every one of the students made
the most of these blessed chapel
periods.
RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES
There have been no student meet-ings
since the last issue of the "News"
The meeting scheduled for Englewood,
March 20, had to be cancelled because
of other meetings being held there on
that date. Owing to a conflict with
the union meeting of the North Sid •
Young People Societies, the meeting
arranged for Edgewater last Sunday
was postponed.
Beginning March 15 and continuing
over Sunday, March 20, Leonard Lind-holm
held a series of meetings at the
Scandinavian Salvation Army Hall
near Belmont and Clark.
Elmer Landerdahl supplied in Maple
wood, Sunday morning. March 20. In
the afternoon and evening he spoke in
Moreland.
Elmer Dahlstrom has accepted a
call to Berkeley, Calif., and will take
up the work there at the end of this
school year. The "News" extends its
congratulations. Elmer is planning to
continue his studies at the University
of California which is located in Berk-eley.
E. Gustav Johnson occupied the pul-pit
in South Chicago, Sunday, March
20.
Last Sunday Gust Anderson ac-companied
Elmer Dahlstrom out to
Lily Lake and spoke there.
Walter Palm, of La Grange, and
Hilding Jacobson, of La Fayette, Ind
exchanged pulpits for the day, last
Sunday.
Gilbert Swenson and Cabot Johnson
conducted a series of meetings in
Lockport. March 25 to 27. The Lord
richly blessed them and the friends in
Lockport. Sunday evening they pray-ed
with ten souls. Wallace Thorn -
bloom was to have been with them but
was hindered because of illness.
Last Sunday four of our boys visit-ed
Batavia and took charge of the af-ternoon
and evening services. Arvid
Nygren and Earl Lindgren spoke in
the afternoon while John Lind and
Edgar Johnson took part in the even.
ing service. John and Earl sang sev-eral
numbers together.
VISION
I stood one day on the magic brink
Of a wonderful city that seemed to
sink
Into fathomless billows of smoke
and steam,
In frantic efforts itself to redeem
Front the awful clutch of the creature
who •
Clawed it and harried it all day
through.
And when in the evening the shadows
drew nigh,
I saw by the fireside the ones who
sigh
And fret o'er this spirit that would
enthrall.
But over the maddening rush and the
hurry.
It seems that a wonderful Spirit doth
flurry;
It is as if someone a rose was caress-ing
And touching its petals received a
great blessing.
And so, too, all mankind, the rich and
the poor,
Are aware of a knocking upon the
heart's door
Of the old, old Spirit of Love
How sweet and how clear! Oh, who
can ignore it?
Then pause for a moment, a small
space of time,
Give heed to the call and its author
Divine.
So he that hath ears for to hear, let
him hear
What this wonderful Spirit is saying
And midst toil and hurry and bustle of
years
Let him quietly yield to its enobling
influence. Arthur Deutsche.

THE WORDS OF THE MASTER
Serie. of Chard 'folks by Prof. D. N)rall.
Xl.
THE EIGHTH I PTERANCE OF
JEsirs
I am going to call your attention to-day
to the well known third chapter
of the Gospel according to John in
which we find the eighth recorded ut-terance
of Jesus. The seven utter-ances
that I have referred to are brief
responses in which Jesus reveals his
mind and declares his intention. In
this selection we find the first extend-ed
utterance of Jesus. It is in the
form of a conversation or dialogue,
which is the peculiar form of all the
speeches of Jesus reported by John.
The occasion for that utterance is the
effect on the mind of the Pharisees of
the cleansing of the temple. They ap-plauded
it and the greatest of the
Pharisees, the very leader, Nicodemus,
was sent by the others to interview
Hint to know fully his mind. He came
to Him in the night, not because he
was a coward—at other occasions he
proved himself to be a courageous
man—but because he was a cautious
man and wanted to find out what was
the program of this Messiah before he
offered him the welcome and the sup-port
on the part of the Pharisees. It
was, therefore, a most important 11C-canton.
In that conversation Jesus
gives the program of the Kinkdorn of
God. To Nicodemus it seemed a great
mystery hard for him to understand.
We shall see why.
I am going to try to give you from
that speech of Jesus a brief foutline of
what the Kingdom of God is. The
Kingdom of God is not in the class of
things which we already know. it
does not belong to those things which
are apparent, imposing; those things
which are real to us whether we want
it or not. The Kingdom of God is a
hidden reality. It is a reality that
will have to be discovered, and discov-ered
afresh. It cannot be discovered
so that it stays discovered, so that it
might be handed over to the genera-tions
since it was discovered. Now
there are things in this world that
will have to be discovered because
they are distant. They are beyond the
sight of the human eye and to dis-cover
them you will have to use the
telescope. They might have to be dis-covered
because they are too small to
be seen by human eyes. You will
have to sue a microscope to see them.
Or they might have to be discovered
like the atom is discovered, by a
mathematical inference. You may be
able to see it in thought although you
cannot see it with your eye. The
speed of the electrons in the atmos
have been discovered lately by a
mathematical inference. Or there are
mental realities which will have to be
discovered by putting them into fo-cus,
by being interested in them, by
attention to them. They are not real
at all unless I am interested in them
and put them straight into my focus.
But the Kingdom of God cannot be
discovered by any of these methods.
The Kingdom of God cannot be dis-covered
by a changed focus. It will
have to be discovered by a changed
life. The Kingdom of God is a reality
that will burst upon us as reality only
after we are born from above. A new
mind, a new heart a new life only can
discover it. Like a man who is evil
discovers goodness, not because he has
Put it into his focus, or drawn it near
by a telescope, or discovered it under
the microscope, but because he him-self
has become a new mind, a new
heart. The Kingdom of God is a real-ity
to us by a discovery of that sort.
It is not only a matter of interest, but
it is a matter of a new ability, the
ability which comes with a new kind
if life.
Now there are other things in this
world which are ideal in their reality.
We never see the real thing, we only
ee the apparent thing, the thing as it
appears to us. We see that. We al-ways
see what seems. We do not see
he depth, we see only the surface. We
see the mortar and brick of the build
ng, but we do not see the law of gray-tation
which is the real thing. The
hing which bears up the architecture
s the real thing and that is not the
hing that we see. We see the letters
with which a letter is written, but we
do not see the meaning. The meaning
otnes to us in some other way. But
the real thing of a letter is what it
means. When you know what the let-ter
means, the letters of the letter are
of no concern to you. You have a
prescription from a doctor. You do
not eat that prescription, you do not
care about the prescription itself. You
care for the meaning of it. When you
see a guide post you do not stop there,
you go and leave it behind, you walk
away from it. There is never a case
when we see the real thing, but there
is a way of experiencing the real
thing. We can experience the real
thing in obedience to it, in acting upon
it. If I receive a letter and understand
it and have the meaning of it, I may
experience the pleasure of it, or its
sadness if it is a sad letter. We do
not see the real thing, but we might
experience it. Now the real thing
which is the Kingdom of God is very
different front all other things that we
experience. It is not a thing which
we might experiment with, but ex-perience
in the fullest sense of that
word. Truly experienced is that only
which becomes a part of our own
selves. I may experiment even with
truth, I may experiment with the law
of gravitation. I may experiment with
the meaning of a letter, and all the
professors and students do. You may
even read a love letter critically. You
may criticize the punctuation and you
may admire the rhetoric of that let-ter
and you may experiment with
these things, but that is not love ex-actly,
not in the deepest sense experi-ence.
You may experiment with truth
but experience in the vet, deepest
sense of that word is like eating, it
means an assimilation; it means some
thing which becomes a part of my
deepest self. This is what the King-dom
of God conditions. The Kingdom ;
of God is not only truth, it is not only
meaning, it is not these things which C
I can in a sense experiment with, but
the Kingdom of God is the gift of
God in the sense in which bread and ,
water are the gifts of God, in the sense
in which life is the gift of God.
Now we might say that all other
things are the gift of God. Of course
they are. The truth is the gift of
God, but in the deepest sense the gift
of God is something personal, some-thing
spiritual—God himself—so that
when he gives that gift he gives
himself. The Kingdom of God is,
therefore. Christ himself. It is the
Messiah. He is the bread coming
down from heaven. He is the water
for our thirst and the light for our
eyes.
But there is one more thought in
this text that I want to bring out. In
a sense the Kingdom of God Is that
great mystery, as a gift is a mystery,
as life is a mystery, as bread is a
mystery. Now life is a mystery which
may be experienced. We may not un-derstand
it, but we may immediately
experience it. We do not know what
it is. We cannot say what it is, but it
is something that we are in the deep-est
sense so familiar with that nothing
else is by far HO near and so sure as life.
And so it is with the Kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of God is that higher
life here on earth. It is something
deeply mysterious, but it is something
which is experienced. But there also
is in the Kingdom of God something
which is heavenly, in the sense that
only perfection itself and the goal can
solve the mystery. There is a mystery
in connection with the Kingdom of
God which is of such a nature that toe
cannot in a sense experience it. We
can experience it only as a mystery
unsolved. It keeps its secret to its-elf.
This Christ speaks of in reference
to the awful price by which the King-dom
of God becomes real. He says:
"There is none who will ascend to
heaven except he who descended, he
who was lifted up on the cross." Now
that wonderful experience of which we
spoke at another occasion is repeated
here in the statement of Jesus. He is
repeating it all the time. It is the
undertone in all his discussions. What
ever he speaks of he comes to this. He
comes to this to begin with in a gen.
eral manner. It is not openly discuss-ed,
it is suggested. It was the secret
of his own dying, the awful secret that
the Kingdom of GO'l cannot be fur-thered,
cannot be victorious in the
world nor in the heart of man except
through destruction, except through
that awful crisis of death—death. It
is a life that will have to be condition-ed
on death. In a sense that is a uni-versal
law and it is the mystery of all
life. There is no way of living except
by dying. Out of death comes life,
and through death life proceeds. Life
is a destructhe power, a destroying
power. That which cannot die cannot
live. It meets us as unavoidably as
the shadow. When there is no shad-ow
there is no light, and therefore, no
truth, and a life without sorrow, with-out
the possibility of sorrow is no
life. A life which is without sacrifice
is no life. A life which becomes indepen-dent
in itself, self centered, satisfied,
is a broken up life. It is true not
only in the physical life, but in the
mental life. You cease to grow when
you become satisfied. All process, all
progress is in disatisfaction with your-self.
Therefore, salvation begins with
that deep sorrow over sin and it con.
tinues in that sorrow of the master
mind. There is but one King in the
Kingdom of God and that is Jesus
who ascends into heaven because he
came down from heaven and was lift-ed
up on the cross.

THE OWL
Waste is one of the outstanding sins
of the American People. We believe
in using everything in every construc-tive
way possible. For this reason we
suguggest the following:
There are Ralph Pearson, Red
Grange, anti Ray Bowman with their
crops of crimson wool. All of them
should be working for the Standard
Oil Company, advertising Red Crown
gasoline.
Or what could be more fitting than
for one of them to be a driver for the
Red Top Cab Company?
Matches have red tops. Why not
use theth in that way? (Just strike
one of them and see where you light).
Did I hear any of the co-eds asking
for a match?
And if you are out auto riding, what
would be wrong with using one of
them for a tail light? On the other
hand, they might be headlights.
BIG E'RAI'D DISC'OVERED
During the recent try-outs for the
Glee Club, Mr. I.utton revealed the
presence of an imposter. He said to
your correspondent, "There is in our
midst cite that can be placed under
any one of the following titles: im-poster,
empiric, quack, mountebank or
charlatan. I am sorry to have to ap-ply
sod harsh terms to an otherwise
so amiable young gentleman as Itay
Bowman, Mr. Bowman has been sing-ing
first tenor when lie really is a
second tenor." Mr. Linton does not
believe in using strong language, bin
he says that in matters of description
we should be more explicit and en-deavor
to improce our elucidation.
Prof. David Nyvall says: "Truth Is
food for thought."

NORTH PARK COLLWE NEWS
A REVIEW OF THE BASKETBALL
SEASON.
As the nineteen twenty-seven sea-son
closes, we would like to consider
the general result.
Basketball is our major winter
sport. Its success means much to the
student body.
Although we enjoyed a fairly good
year, there is much to be improved
upon At the start of this season our
expectations were great and there
was every reason for them to SO.
Coach Varnes was with the men as
often as they could obtain use of the
gym, and most of the squad came out
regularly to practice. As is his cus-tom.
Varnes started out to bring the
squad through the rudiments of the
game, much time was spent on simple
formations, and the team developed
rapidly to a point where they could
receive pointers on "'smart basket-ball."
In the defeat of the 202ra1 Ar-tillery
team N. P. demonstrated to the
fullest extent that we had a real team
this year. This game was played just
before the Christmas holidays.
After the Christmas stockings had
result-Hsi their normal proportions and
the boys had returned to the so-called
muscle shops, they showed a different
attitude and different results followed.
This Christmas time slump can be
eliminated only by having the squad
return a week sooner.
Our first series of conference games
resulted in just as many defeats.
The team was forced to miss practice
for days at a time, because of not be-ing
aide to use the building surnamed
"gym."
If we count our pre-season victories
with our total, we have won 9 and lost
11 games. Our conference results,
however, stand (with aid) 8 games
lost and two won.
Basketball means too much to North
Park to let this occur again next year.
A successful year would mean much
to N. P. Most of the student body re-sponded
to the sale of season tickets
this year, and the attendance was an
improvement over that of last year.
Most of our games were highly inter-esting.
and a victory did not go un-appreciated.
BASF:KALI. PROSPECTS.
With the basketball season come to
a close, the attention of the athletes
has turned toward baseball. Eight
regulars together with twelve new
candidates are staging a bitter fight
for births on the team. The pitching
staff is reinforced with two new men,
John Lind and Elmer Knutson. Nor-man
Andrews has shown considerable
improvement, and it is hoped that he
also will make his appearance as a
moundsman. The best man for the
receiving end seems to be "Middy"
Nelson. The candidates for the in-field
and outfield are displaying both
knowledge of the game and ability to
play it.
Practicing is being done under the
direction of the coach. Hard work is
his motto. One of the aspirants has
developed a slight lameness. His un-due
diligence in chasing flies has re-sulted
in blisters on his foot. But
Providence is kind, for this young
man can walk on his hands.
The boys are willing and eager to
play hard, and it is hoped that North
Park will acquit itself well in base-ball.
LOOKING 'EAI OVF:It
WITH 'MID."
If poi, boost North Park and if we
boost North Park, what will that make
North Pzrk?
"In the spring a young man's fancy
lightly turns to"—baseball.
Remember we played Collegeville
two years ago" They express a desire
to compete again this year.
The "Bruins" instead of sharpening
their claws ought to sharpen th,
pencils as NC expect to give them a
"break" and let them keep score at
the baseball games. Of course, this
depends on if they are eligible.
According to the outcome of the Col-lege-
Academy Basketball game, pros-pects
for next year's varsity look
good.
The Athletic Council has adopted a
new letter for major sports. It is the
latest.
Get out and practice for the tennis
tournament! April 14-15-16 are the
dates for the tournament.
Walter 1.indwall, Silas Nelson M.
Lorimer Moe, Walter Thorell, and
Milton Strom came out for first tennis
practice.
