The three websites are well known and used by millions of genealogical researchers. They are:
Of course, MyHeritage.com and Ancestry.com are subscription services with monthly or annual fees. FamilySearch.org is free to all users but some features require registration.
There are other programs that aid in the search for online sources, but lack the ability to integrate the found sources automatically into a family tree. Let me illustrate this process. First, I will show a diagram of the traditional research model:
Here the researcher goes to a repository of a record source, such as a library, archive, court house etc., and searches through the individual sources for information about his or her ancestors. After finding a source the researcher records the information from the source, and following the research cycle, takes all of the steps to start the process over again. For a reference, here is a diagram of the Research Cycle:
The steps in the Research Cycle vary in interpretation, but generally all of the variations are similar.
Once the researcher has completed the cycle with one ancestor, the process is repeated ad infinitum. In the process, the researcher accumulates a great deal of paper. Up until recently, the advances in computer technology had simply substituted an online database for the paper repository and moved some of the researcher's paper records either to genealogical database programs or digitized copies. I call this "computer aided research." Here is the modified research model showing the benefits derived from a partial computerization of the model:
As you can see, the benefits are limited. We are still paper dependent and even though the work flow can be accelerated, with this model we are still dependent on paper sources.
This model evolved into a slightly different one once we had access to online sources. Here is a modified diagram showing the addition of the online sources:
Some researchers find this model to be defective and do not see the need to have a computer, mainly because the end product seems to be the same. It is relatively easy to reject the online sources model because there is still the need to retain paper copies and search in repositories to find paper records.
But now there is a new model. This involves the online sources doing the searching for records. For this to be a benefit, there had to be three things happen:
- The online sources had to reach a critical mass of information
- The individual user had to accommodate using records online in a family tree
- The search engines in the online websites had to be effective enough to make the process work
All three conditions had to be satisfied. You can probably see that some genealogists currently reject all of part of these conditions.
Now, what do I mean by "critical mass?" In this case, the amount of information online had to reach the point where a significant number of the types of sources used by most genealogists were readily available. For example, all of the U.S. Census records, many vital records, and other types of records had to be searchable. The reason for this is that absent this critical mass of records, the researchers would be going back to paper (or microfilm) records so frequently as to diminish the value of the online experience. Once that point was reached, almost all genealogical researchers would benefit directly from the availability of online searches.
Putting this into practical terms, as genealogists began to find source records online, the utility of searching online increased. At some point in the not too distant past, the availability of online sources reached the point when most of the "bread and butter" types of sources and many not so easily found sources were beginning to appear in large online database programs. Once that point was reached genealogy companies began to see the utility of hosting online family trees and then, as an added value doing automated or semi-automated searches for sources that applied to the individuals in the online family trees. At this point, there needed to be a major advance in searching technology for all this add any significant value. This is where we are today. In Part Two of this analysis, I will be outlining how the most recent changes, especially those that were codified at RootsTech 2014, will affect the future of online automatic source searching.
Stay tuned.

You're on every f***ing medium complaining that the West is tough, the West hates men blah blah and while that may be true, you spent all this money and leveraged your location and put in all this work, but yet....nothing tangible is coming out of it.MattHanson1990 wrote:Look. Just because I love her doesn't necessarily mean we go to the bedroom to get laid. In fact, that can often be considered disrespectful in Mexico, especially if you're dating a girl from a more conservative background. That's why mongers end up disappointed. The only places I know of in Mexico where a guy can get laid easily are areas with a lot of outside influence (e.g. Mexico City or Monterrey) or red-light districts. Otherwise, just go to countries where it's easier to get sex like Philippines or Colombia. Mexico is more for finding companionship/marriage.Sackler wrote:Ok, so you're doing all this kissing, but you're not even f***ing them? As usual, you are a hopeless sack of shit.
Guys like you are a big reason foreigners (esp. Westerners) often can get a bad repuation overseas. You're the hopeless one on here, not me.
Wouldn't be surprised if these chicks are sucking off their boyfriends and THEN kissing you. I mean you haven't even had ONE lay in Mexico. And stop conflating mongering with regular girls. Mongering is used for prostitutes. It's usually for guys that seek to find the best value with hookers.
I get it, man -- You're a sweet guy. But there is a time to drop the faggy poetry/flowers and kick in the player instinct. Not even one intimate experience in your life, Matt. C'mon dude. You're gonna end up like your mentor Tapatio who married his whore wife while he remaining more or less a virgin.

In spite of George C. Scott's endorsement, the Renault Alliance GTA failed to save American Motors. Few remain on the street today, but here's one that managed to evade The Crusher for more than 20 years.
We're not sure what part of North America is home to this GTA, but we can say it's probably not Los Angeles or Miami:
I noticed you do a lot of the junkyard posts on Jalop and I wanted to share these pics with you. I happened to find a 1987 Renault GTA at my junkyard. Funny, I never knew these things existed until reading about them in this "Automotive Atrocities" book I had just bought, I was pretty surprised to find it actually, I thought I'd get lucky and find a Renault Fuego at the same yard too, but no such luck. Anyway, enjoy.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK- What do you know about the housing slump?
Moira Gehring: "I know we can't sell our house in Woodstock, Vermont. If you want to buy a house, it's a great house. It's been on the market for over a year, but it's still a great house."
Marc Brake: "It's a good time to negotiate price and get into a house you might not have been able to afford two years ago."
Jane Carr: "The housing slump is really going to have a significant effect on our nation. I think around 2 million people are in danger of losing their homes to foreclosure. There's a bill being introduced in the Senate in the next few days that will require mortgage companies to negotiate with people and lengthen the terms of the mortgage so that they can hopefully stay in their houses. I think the Congress has realized, finally, that this could be what tips the country into recession, and they're considerably worried about it."

Gravitational Lens in Galaxy Cluster AC 114
The NASA Hubble Space Telescope photograph (left) shows a pair of L-shaped images with striking mirror-symmetry. These are thought to arise from a very distant galaxy seen through a cluster of foreground galaxies (right). The gravity of the galaxy cluster acts as a natural magnifying glass, bending and focusing the light of the more distant source into several images, each of which is apparently larger and brighter than would otherwise be the case. This rare combination of Hubble's powerful telescope mirrors and the natural telephoto lens gives astronomers unprecedented information on the nature of very distant galaxies, and on the distribution and nature of matter in the foreground cluster. The two compact objects in the center of the HST image are thought to be unrelated galaxies in the foreground cluster.
The observations were made with Hubble's Wide Field Camera in one of the first long exposures (six hours) with the orbiting observatory.

Dear friends,
It was a pleasure to see so many of you in St. Louis for the 25th Anniversary celebration of the National Catholic Association of Diocesan Directors of Hispanic Ministry (NCADDHM). Diocesan directors, coordinators and key leaders play a key role in the local process for the V Encuentro. We are excited that the majority of dioceses throughout the country have diocesan teams in place and are ready for the V Encuentro. We are grateful for your leadership and we are here to provide support and assistance.
The next step in preparing for the V Encuentro is ensuring that pastors and priests in your dioceses receive the appropriate information about the V Encuentro and that they are invited to participate. To support you in this endeavor, we have prepared a packet for pastors and priests and resources can be downloaded here. The packet will also be emailed to you so that you can send to pastors from your diocesan office. Many dioceses have already offered an orientation of the V Encuentro to their pastors and priest. This is a great idea as is allows pastors the opportunity to ask questions about the formation of their V Encuentro Parish Teams.
also offer our congratulations to NCCHM, the National Catholic Council for
Hispanic Ministry, as they also celebrated their 25th Anniversary. It was an
honor to be present for such and occasion and we are grateful to have been
given the opportunity to offer a panel on the V Encuentro. Go here for more information about V Encuentro.
Blessings to all of you and please contact us if you have any questions,Alejandro Aguilera-Titus
This mandate includes the following areas of responsibility:
The Subcommittee is directly responsible for outreach to Hispanic communities and to work closely with the subcommittee on Pastoral Care of Migrants and Refugees.

Looking South for Your Next Business Opportunities
Guest blog post by Michael Masserman, Executive Director for Export Policy, Promotion, and Strategy, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce
This week Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker announced the Look South Initiative, a movement to help American businesses leverage the Free Trade Agreements the United States shares with 11 countries in Latin America.
The Initiative is an important new part of the Commerce Department's Open for Business Agenda, supporting American companies looking to increase their global presence.
More and more businesses are exporting, which is leading to record levels of exports for the country. That supports the U.S. economy, and it helps create jobs here at home.
However, most companies that currently export are only taking advantage of one market. Companies exporting to one market average roughly $375,000 in export sales. For a company exporting to two-to-four export markets, that average nearly triples to $1 million in sales. It's clear that exporting to additional markets improves a business's bottom line.
For businesses looking to expand their export markets, "Looking South" is a simple way to start. More than half of our free trade agreements are in Latin America, which generally equates to greater easer in entering those markets. Tariffs are low if they exist at all, which can mean a lower cost of doing business.

West Craven�s boys and girls� basketball teams earned the top seed from the Coastal 3A Conference. Havelock�s boys� squad and the Pamlico girls finished second in their respective conference.
West Craven�s boys and girls� basketball teams earned the top seed from the Coastal 3A Conference. Havelock�s boys� squad and the Pamlico girls finished second in their respective conference.
The North Carolina High School Athletic Association playoff brackets were unveiled Saturday. Six area teams made the postseason, with four hosting games on Monday.
Boys� basketball
West Craven Eagles
West Craven finished a perfect Coastal 3A season after fending off Havelock in the tournament championship game on Friday.
The Eagles reward � two guaranteed home games in the state playoffs. They could host a third if they continue to win, and Triton loses along the way.
West Craven will open with 14th-seed North Lenoir (13-13), from the Eastern Carolina Conference, at 8 p.m. on Monday. The winner advances to play either Wilson Hunt (20-5) or Nash Central (13-9) on Wednesday.
The Eagles are sparked by seniors Josh Cuthbertson (2,045 career points) and Demetres Abrams, as well as junior Tyrone Brown, and a talented cast.
West Craven (22-4) is the third seed in the East. Nemesis Rocky Mount (22-2) is the top seed, while Triton (21-4) is the second seed.
Rocky Mount beat West Craven, 73-53, in the 3A Eastern Regionals last season in Fayetteville.
Havelock Rams
Havelock coach Bill Fryczynski isn�t a fan of the seeding process, especially when it pits his Rams against a conference opponent they�ve played three times prior.
The Rams (16-9) host Coastal 3A Conference foe South Central at 7 p.m. on Monday. The winner will play either No. 2 seed Triton (22-5) or Northern Nash (8-13) on Wednesday.
�I don�t like the fact that we have to play them for a fourth time, and I�m sure (South Central coach) Chris Cherry feels the same way,� Fryczynski. �The seeding process has too many flaws.
�It just doesn�t make sense.�
Havelock is the sixth seed in the East, and the second best team in the conference. Fryczynski is aware that Wednesday�s conference tournament semifinal win over South Central was huge and secured a home game.
If the Rams had lost, they would likely be playing at South Central. Instead, Havelock earned a 60-52 win over South Central.
�Obviously I�d rather play at home,� Fryczynski said. �We should be playing somebody else. That home wins last week was very important for us and gave us another home game.�
Havelock split with South Central during the regular season. It beat the Falcons, 62-59, on Feb. 5 and lost in Winterville, 79-55, on Jan. 8.
�We practiced (on Saturday) and I kind of knew we were going to play South Central,� Fryczynski said. �The only thing we can do at practice is try to stay sharp. We are going to play like we did the past couple times. Hopefully it will work for us again.�
The Rams lost to conference champ West Craven, 72-64, in the tournament final. Matt Prichard scored 15, while David Carter added 14, Zack Bruns 13 and Pharoh Cooper 11.
Pamlico Hurricanes
The Pamlico Hurricanes have been knocking on the door all season, playing competitive basketball with nearly every team they�ve gone against.
Coach Earl Sadler hopes his team can make a late run in what he calls, �a new season.�
�We�ve been so close in so many games, just knocking on the door,� Sadler said. �We are hoping, in this new season, we can get over the hump and make a little run.
�We are going into it and everybody is 0-0. It�s a level playing field and it�s time to start over.�
Pamlico (11-12), the 11th seed in the East, will play at Union (15-11) at 6 p.m. on Monday for the first round of the NCHSAA 1A playoffs. The victor will play either Wallace Rose-Hill (19-7) or Princeton (9-16) on Wednesday.
Pamlico failed to make the playoff last season, and lost to Union, 71-67, in the first round in 2011.
�(Union) has a couple of post players that are really strong,� Sadler said. �We have some guys that are pretty good on the inside too. We hope we match up well there.
�They are a pretty balanced team and skilled and a ball-control team. They are not going to make a lot of mistakes.�
Pamlico has a plethora of scorers � Jermicus Brown, Bradley Bennett, D.J. Lewis, Arthur Randall, Josiah Simmons and Cameron Moore, among others.
Girls basketball
West Craven Eagles
The Eagles have adopted the motto, �One Dream, One Team, One Win.�
The point � to take things one game at a time.
West Craven (22-5), winners of nine in a row, won the Coastal 3A Tournament title with a 57-45 win over D.H. Conley Friday.
The conference champs will host Wilson Hunt (13-10) at 6 p.m. on Monday. The winner will play either Conley (20-6) or Nash Central (13-8) on Wednesday.
�We are thankfully we played well enough all year to get a home game,� West Craven coach David Fernandez said. �We don�t know a lot about (Hunt), but it�s kind of a survival and advance mode.
�The girls know this is a one-and-done deal and that they have to bring it every night.�
The Eagles are the third seed in the East. Only Eastern Wayne (25-1) and Northern Nash (21-1) are seeded higher.
They are led by junior Jamie Cherry, senior Nishedra Brown, senior Nyeesha Roundtree, junior Jasmine Raynor and junior Kaylee Koerperich.
West Craven reached the Regionals last year before losing to Rocky Mount, 71-50.
�They were in good spirits and focused,� Fernandez said. �On our side of the section, there are no gimmes. Everybody is good. If we think we are that good, we have to beat good teams.�
Pamlico Hurricanes
The Hurricanes won just one single game last season. In a matter of a year, they are hosting the playoff game.
Pamlico (15-6), the second place team in the Coastal Plains Conference, will host East Carteret (12-12) at 6 p.m. on Monday. The winner will play either East Columbus (17-3) or Ayden-Grifton (8-15) on Wednesday.
The Hurricanes are led by freshman point guard Bri Jones and sophomore forward Alazia Whitfield. Freshman Laichelle Sparrow is also a key addition.
�It�s exciting,� said Pamlico Athletic Director Earl Sadler. �I was talking to someone and they asked me how things were going at the high school, and I told him, the Hurricanes really had a down year last year athletically.
�We are glad to have some positive things happen at the high school again. The girls are doing well and we are excited for them.�
Havelock Rams
The Rams might not see a team with a winning record until the third round, yet they still have to travel to start the postseason.
Havelock (15-11), the 13th seed, will travel to Hertford County (7-14) at 6 p.m. on Monday. If the Rams were to win, they would play either South Brunswick (4-19) or C.B. Aycock (12-13) on Wednesday.
They are led by seniors Shakina Dyer and Kiera Fleming. Aprielle Barrette, Jalisa Wilson and Natalie Johnson are threats on offense and defense.

The API BaaS feature of Apigee API Services provides a flexible, secure and redundant data store where you can keep and manage all of your app data. Backed by a NoSQL database, the data store allows you to store and manipulate just about anything as a JSON object, including binary assets, and supports standard create, retrieve, update, delete (CRUD) functions.
API BaaS data model
The API BaaS data store provides a simple and extensible structure for modeling all of your
application data as collections of JSON objects, known as data entities. All
entities have a
type property that associates it with a correspondingly named
Because the API BaaS is backed by a NoSQL database, there is no enforced schema on any given entity type. This gives you a great deal of flexibility in modeling your data, since it allows for data entities and their properties to be defined and updated atomically. This also means that arbitrary relationships can be created between entities both within and across collections.
Learn more about:API BaaS data model
Similar to tables in a traditional relational database, collections are most commonly used to group a set of entities that are intended to store data related to a common purpose or feature. When working with your data in the API BaaS data store, you generally will work at the entity level; however, there are times when it is useful to make API request against entire collections, such as batch update operations.
Learn more about:Working with collections
Similar to rows in a traditional relational database, entities in the API BaaS data store
represent an individual database record, stored as a JSON object. Each entity contains a set of
default properties, including
created, etc. that are set by the
API when the entity is created. Entities also allow for any number of custom properties, which
are JSON-formatted key-value pairs. This allows entities to represent just about anything, and to
store as much or as little contextual data as your app requires.
Learn more about:Working with entities
Basic usage
At its most basic level, the API BaaS uses a simple path structure for performing operations
on collections and data entities. Simply perform a
POST, or
DELETE HTTP request on one of the following URI templates:
The API BaaS also supports a powerful SQL-like query language to enable complex and multi-entity operations, and offers a number of language-specific SDKs to make interaction with the API fast and easy.

Nidec continues integrating 5 major Emerson motor brands
Nidec Motor (NYSE: NJ), based in Kyoto, Japan, continues to integrate most of the Emerson (NYSE: EMR) motor lines after completing the purchase in October 2010. Even as opportunities increase for motor sales related to energy efficiency requirements, motor manufacturers seek opportunities for broader market reach through acquisitions. (See ABB buys Baldor).
Nidec purchased two major Emerson Motor Company businesses—Emerson's Commercial and Industrial Motors (CIM) and Emerson Appliance Motors and Controls (EAMC), which accounted for more than $800 million in sales in fiscal 2009, Emerson said, with brands and product lines for ELine, Emerson, Hurst, SR Drives, and US Motors. Operations include facilities in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and the UK. Products include general and special purpose electric motors from 1/200 through 5,000 horsepower, supporting applications including commercial and industrial, appliance, automotive, pump, and HVAC, including four out of five "white goods appliances in North America."
Emerson kept its hermetic motors business, which serves Emerson Climate Technologies' Copeland Scroll compressors, and the large motor business based in Europe (Leroy-Somer), as well as Emerson Air Comfort Products in the U.S., which makes the Emerson Ceiling Fan.
Nidec describes itself as an $8 billion precision manufacturer of small and medium-size motors and fans for IT/consumer electronics, automobiles, home appliances, and industrial applications. The company also manufactures electronic/optical components and machinery.
The sale followed a six-month evaluation process by the companies, and, under the terms of the sale, Nidec Corp. agreed to retain related facilities and employees, and maintain headquarters for the businesses in St. Louis. In addition, Nidec said it intends to retain existing facilities and Emerson management and employees, operating from a headquarters building for Emerson Motor Technology Center on the Emerson campus.
"We are very excited about the potential for future growth of these businesses as part of Nidec Corporation," said Shigenobu Nagamori, founder and CEO of Nidec. "Emerson's reputation for innovation, quality and service built over the years is very much aligned with Nidec's principles and values. These businesses of motors and control technologies will be key to our long-term business strategy as we invest and further strengthen our capabilities in the North American market."
In an Emerson statement about the sale, Craig Ashmore, executive vice president, planning and development, Emerson, said, "Emerson was committed in this process to assuring that if the businesses were sold, they would end up in the hands of a strong company that would create a successful environment for its employees and customers. While there was considerable interest from many solid companies, Nidec Corporation's proposal provided overwhelming value for everyone: our customers, employees and shareholders."
The integration continues Nidec's growth. In January 2010, Nidec also acquired Sole Motors (currently, Nidec Sole Motor Corporation S.R.L.). The company also said it has strengthened its home appliance motor business in Europe; will take advantage of synergies with existing lines in development, production, and sales; and will add the acquired business's large industrial motors and medium-sized central air conditioning motors to its current portfolio. Nidec also intends "to apply high-level motion control technologies of the acquired business to the development of next-generation products such as motors for electric vehicles, and seek further growth in our automobile motor business."
The Emerson business operates under Nidec Motor Corp., a new Nidec U.S. subsidiary established for the acquisition, led by Chairman Shigenobu Nagamori (representative director, president and chief executive officer of Nidec), Director Motoyoshi Hanaoka (vice president of Nidec), and Director, President and Chief Executive Officer Patrick K. Murphy (previously president of Emerson Electric Company's appliance motor division). Nidec said it is the world's leading manufacturer of small precision motors, including motors used in hard disk drives and optical disk drives (including Blu-ray disk drives) and sees "high future growth potential" with expansions into the home appliance and automotive markets.

The Bethel Clarion
Vol. XVIII No. 2
BETHEL INSTITUTE October 19, 1938
Gospel Teams
Hold Services
"Many there are who, groping about in
the blackness of sin's dark night, long-ing
for the "light of the glorious gospel
of Jesus Christ," have cried out in de-spair,
"No man careth for my soul." This
heart-rending cry in the night comes to
those of us who are children of light with
a tremendous challenge and as a real re-minder
of our responsibility before God."
"The hearty response to the call for
gospel team workers indicates that the
students of Bethel are vitally concerned
for lost souls—that they do care."
This year no less than ten gospel
teams, each with a capable leader, have
been organized with approximately nine-ty
members taking active part, and ap-proximtely
fifty others, listed as reserve
members, taking part occasionally.
Gospel missions, homes for the aged,
hospitals, and churches are all included
in the weekly scheduled visits of the gos-pel
teams. In addition numerous street
meetings are conducted in various sec-tions
of St. Paul. This tun and active
program is under the supervision of the
gospel team chairman, Robert Peterson.
Impromtu Program
Sung on Hillside
A particulary beautiful evening was
the good fortune of the male chorus fel-lows
and friends on their outing, Friday
evening, October 7, in the "deer pen" at
Minnehaha Park.
Games occupied part of the evening
while later, on the hillside, around two
fires, the group roasted weiners and par-took
of other refreshments.
Lending to the atmosphere of the eve-ning
were the strains of familiar hymns
and choruses which echoed from the hill-sides,
sung by other Christian groups
who had gathered together on the same
evening. In response to these, the male
chorus sang several of its best known
numbers, and the entire group took part
in singing choruses.
First Appearance
The Bethel Male Chorus, under the di-rection
of Professor George Hultgren,
made its first appearance of the year
Wednesday evening, October 12, at the
Minnesota Baptist State Convention held
at the First Baptist Church in Minne-apolis.
The chorus rendered two num-bers
on the program: Thanks be to God,
and Laudamus.
Oct. 19. Missionary Band.
Oct. 25. College Club.
Oct. 26. Prayer and Mission Day.
Oct. 28. Bethel Night, Bethel Bap-tist
Nov. 2. AAle xis.
Nov. 4. Homecoming.
Great Homecoming
Celebration Planned
The highlight of coming attractions for
Bethel students will be Home Coming
day, Friday, November 4.
An effort is being made this year to
make this Home Coming the most suc-cessful
of any ever held at Bethel. The
theme of the day will center in the need
of a new dormitory. This event is pro-moted
entirely by the student body with
C. E. Carlson acting as faculty advisor.
Gordon Peterson will be in charge of the
program and activities.
The chairmen of committees are: pro-gram,
Edward Nelson; decorations, Dor-othy
Beckman; advertising, Carl Holm-berg;
tickets, John Valine.
Attractions of the day will consist of:
open house to all, an intra squad foot-ball
game, and a basket ball game. The
annual banquet in the evening will con-clude
the day's activities.
President Presides
Dr. Hagstrom, venerable president of
Bethel Institute, acted as moderator for
the 79th Annual Convention of the Min-nesota
Baptists, held in the First Amer-ican
Baptist Church of Minneapolis on
September 10, 11, and 12.
Dr. Hagstrom has also received the
signal honor of reelection as the moder-ator
of next year's convention.
Final plans have been made for the
annual Prayer and Mission Day to be held
on Wednesday, October 26. Mrs. A. Sal-quist,
Miss Esther Nelson, and Rev. Au-gust
Lindstedt, missionaries returned
from the West China field, have been in-vited
as the main speakers. A varied
program of services which will be held in
both the Seminary Chapel and the Junior
College Chapel, has been arranged for the
entire day, with a large climactic pro-gram,
to be held in the College Chapel,
planned for the evening. The committee
in charge of arrangements is composed of
Prof. A. Olson, chairman; Miss Esther
Sabel, secretary; Prof. A. J. Wingblade,
Dean Emery Johnson, and Dean K. J.
Mrs. Anna Salquist to speak.
Mrs. Anna Salquist is to be one of the
featured speakers. Mrs. Salquist has
spent at least 40 years in the West China
field, much of this time working alone as
Dr. Salquist was taken in death many
years ago. Miss Esther Nelson, and Rev.
August Lindstedt are also on the pro-gram.
Miss Nelson has spent three terms
on the West China field as a missionary
nurse. Rev. Mr. Lindstedt started his
work some years ago in Russia, but was
forced to move into West China where
he has carried on a good work among the
Russian people in that field.
A Cappella Choir to sing.
The evening service in the College
Chapel will also have on its program,
the A Cappella Choir, which will sing
two numbers, "Lost in the Night" by
Christenson, and "Hail to the Brightness
of Zion's Glad Morning," under the direc-tion
of J. 'Gordon Peterson, assistant di-rector.
Throughout the day, the Girls'
Trio composed of Dorothy Beckman, Ruth
Olson, and Doris Moberg, a saxophone
duet by Earl Sherman and Francis Mc-
Olash, and the male quartette composed
of Virgil Olson, J. Gordon Peterson, Ned
Holmgren, and John Valine will add to
the services. The public is cordially in-vited
to attend all services.
Precedence or 'Projection
What do you have to offer a people in a nation in wihich tradition, custom and
precedence are daily broken or discarded? A recent chapel speaker asked that ques-tion
of the Seminary students. It is a searching question. We who are preparing
ourselves for projecting Christ in some manner or other must answer that question.
There is no value in learning elaborate farms and methods of approach, and ex-pecting
them to serve us in every exigen cy. Only through adapting ourselves to
every problem can we hope to successfully cope with them all.
The same speaker suggested what he called "creative lendership". Is it not a
thought-provoking phrase? Let it simmer in your mind a moment—creative leader-ship.
It involves a great deal more than unusually turned phrases or sensational
preaching. It would mean a consciousness of fundamental needs, and an unwaver-ing
confidence in the resources of our religion. It would mean openmindedness and
creative thought.
How shall we receive such a thought? Surely it can be nothing but a spiritual
challenge. Let us take up the glove and accept the challenge.
Projected Enthusiasm
Tradition has always placed an important part in the career of any institution.
One can always reflect upon past days and glory in the revelations of history. Even
in a changing world, a noble background , is influential. Tradition has decreed that
any special day to be observed at Bethel is an outstanding event. But tradition can-
/lot be the stimulus for future success.
Every year there is a necessity of invigorating new enthusiasm in the student
body to cooperate to the fullest extent. Prayer and Mission Day is just a week
hence. Let us ALL become Prayer-and-Mission-Day-Conscious. Homecoming will
be here in less than three weeks. Let us ALL be Homecoming-conscious.
All projection of enthusiasm is from the student body. Let's get behind and
push all the events of the school. Let's make Bethel an enthusiastic and robust cen-ter
of Christian fellowship.
Paul reveals one of the innermost desires of his life in the words: "I long
to know him in the power of his resurrection." Would it be too much to en-large
upon Paul's anxious appetite by calling it, "Progressive .Spirituality?"
So often one becomes satisfied with merely learning of Jesus rather than
translating his knowledge into terms of life. Christianity is not mere amassing
of scriptural truths, but it is the proper evaluation and, application of these
trus hs into spiritual realities. Paul does not speak of any superficial acknowl-edgement
or interpretation of the simple New Testament truths as handed
down by their writers, but he speaks of converting these historical facts into
applicable service.
, It took Simon-ibarjona, the impetuous and anxious disciple, a lifetime to
become Peter—the rock; but it was Peter who' in the evening of his life as his
clay feet left the smelling earth and as his worn hand reached out to receive
the crown, cried: "Grow in grace and in knowledge of your Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ."
Fellow students, has profession of spirituaity elevated us so far above
natural human experience that our outward lives have become cramped to the
degree that our service to the world is, unattractive, boring and even power-less?
—S. Bruce Fleming.

"Ten-thirty! Can it be? Oh, joy!"
This has been my cry of relief each
night as Elmer Frosh, a new Bethelite,
would toss me aside for a few well-earned
hours of recuperation. How im-paired
my diminishing form would be!
Frosh lost a nickel when he bougnt me,
but I lost a figure and complexion ad-mired
by all the residents of Penville.
Today was a particularly strenuous
one, and alas! the climax of my benefi-cence.
Not only did Frosh scratch me
through history and zoo exams, he care-lessly
managed to drop me on the floor
as an invitation to that most inopi,ortune
moment when Sophistication Soph shuf-fled
by—on ME. Naturally, I snapped in-to
splinters as my back broke. It must be
admitted, however, that Mr. Soph was
sufficiently apologetic, but, to my utter
distress, he insisted upon an operation.
We unfortunates of this so-called inani-mate
world—with no appropriate voice
with which to gain audibility! The crum-bled
debris of what I would formerly
have recognized as myself was uncere-moniously
taken to the home of Dr.
Sharpener on Library Way.
Our destination reached, vexation over-powered
me. Picture yourself literally
tossed into the iron grip of such a one as
Sharpener, whose very teeth are coher-ent
with his name! Not a word of con-sultation!
Not a word of consolation!
Hours passed. Yes, Frosh still made
use of me today, but alas! to reach se-nility
in one short day!
It is night. My daily duties are ac-complished—
probably for the last time.
My 8 or 9 inches of frail stature have
passed through many a Frosh hand but
only one foot—a foot of a Soph—ever
passed through me.
Such is the life of a pencil.

Do You Xemember ?
The Alexis Society met in the Semi-nary
chapel, October 5, for the first meet-ing.
The Annual Smorgasbord sponsored by
the Swedish Baptist Women's Federa-tion,
for the benefit of Bethel Institute,
was held on Friday, October the 7th. A
Swedish program was given under the
leadership of Mrs. G. A. Hagstrom.
The girls "pow-wowed" at Como Park
without escort (!), Thursday, October 13.
The Bethel night at the Lake Park
church was attended by several students.
The meeting was held October 16.
The rally of the Bethel Gospel Teams
was held Monday evening, October 17, in
the Seminary chapel. The main speaker
was Professor Reuben Nelson. Several
musical selections made a varied pro-gram.
Rallies similar to this are held at
the beginning of each semester in order
that the Gospel Teams might come to-gether
in one group for fellowship, and
also to receive instructions and inspira-tion
for the semester's work.
Books Added to Library
"No book is worth anything, which is
not worth much"—Ruskin. According to
the librarian, Miss Effie Nelson, the
greatest number of volumes read last
year was in the field of philosophy, in-cluding
ethics, psychology, and child-study.
Next in rank came history, litera
ture, sociology, religion and science. The
trend seems to be the same this year.
Over 300 volumes were added last year,
and the aim this year is to add as many,
or more.
Already the Encyclopedia Britannica,
consisting of twenty-four volumes, has
been purchased. Accompanying this are
the year books covering all subjects of
current interest for the next ten years.
The Dewey Decimal system is em-ployed,
and over three thousand vo.umes
are already thus classified.
Danes Want Loyalty
Feeling with keen appreciation their
glorious ancestry, a group of Danish stu-dents
wish to organize a Danish club.
"We realize that this is a Swedish school,
but as aliens we ask for a fair recogni-tion
of our rights." Present increase in
enrollment of Danish Baptist students
shows an increase of 500 per cent over
last year. (Incidentally, is there any one
who can teach us a little Danish?)
Pennies Drop Again
The Woman's Commission of the Gen-eral
Conference is again sponsoring the
Penny-a-Meal Campaign -which will take
effect November 1. Mrs. Adolph Olson,
president of the organization, will be in
charge of the drive and supervise all the
mailing of the Penny-a-Meal boxes to the
various groups and churches within our
conference. The purpose of the Penny-a-
Meal is to raise funds for the mainte-nance
and support of Bethel.

interesting speaker because of her wide
acquaintance with the Baptist worn,
During the same week, Miss Fulton
will speak at various places throughout
Saint Paul and Minneapolis.
Chapel Notes
"God's children are privileged to live
transparent lives, lives that -God shines
through so that when others see them
they see Christ." Dr. Hagstrom.
"The Word of God it exerting a tre-mendous
power over the young people in
Russia today. In 1925 there were approxi-mately
3,000,000 born again Christians in
Russia. Today it is estimated that there
are 7,000,000. Persecution is strengthen-ing
the work in that country."
Rev. Moroz, Russian evangelist.
"Some Swedish Baptists are snoring
so loudly that they are waking up the
Methodists and Pentecosts. It is not
enough to believe the Bible. You must
obey it as well. Men may laugh at hell
but Jesus never did—to Him it was a
reality. Jesus was so concerned for lost
souls that He sometimes forgot even to
eat and sleep." Rev. Eric Anderson.
"Live in the present, profit -by the past,
the -future will take care of it self."
Dr. Daniel.
"The fault of students is that they fall
over their own s:hadows."
Professor Norstrom.
Humor [esk ?]
This spring-like weather and June
moon in October certainly isn't doing the
grades any good, and the effect it has
upon humans is quite startling. One of
the outstanding members of the boys'
dormitory is the victim of that universal-ly
dreaded malady, Lunar Fever. On eve-nings,
if one should peer through his
transom, one may see him seated at the
window, longingly gazing at a certain
house silhouetted against the rising
moon.—Cut it out, Dickau, this is only
We made it a point to attend one of
the early -basketball practices and were
delighted at being granted an interview
with the mighty atom, William Adam. He
was in a quandary over picking a first
team because every one of the boys was
of equal ability. One of our more bril-liant
freshmen finally solved the problem
by suggesting that he use those five men
who could boast the most active athlete's
foot. Our coach also informed us that
his son is following in his proud daddy's
footsteps and promises to develop into a
versatile athlete. It seems that last Tues-day,
Timothy William, in a one-round
free-Ifor-all, defeated Bill's famous two
year old sister. What a man! !!!
We understand that our -band has a
new number, "Bill the Squealer." Ooops,
excuse us, Gordon, you say the number
is called "William Tell"?
After a hard evening's study do you
feel like a close relative to a worn-out
map? Does your hand shake and your
hair hang in strings? If such is the case,
we can offer you an infallible remedy. At-tention!
One: Awaken your roommate
from his or her sound sleep on a history,
ethics, English, or any other kind of
book. Two: Gather from the deepest
recesses of your purse, five pennies, five
dimes, and two quarters. (Yes, we had
the same difficulty locating them.) Three:
Seat yourselves on the floor and -become

Climb into your little cribs, kiddies,
and go to sleep. -George Darry.
Heard in chapel:
Dr. Karlson was sitting in Henrietta
DeCamp's seat. She came in a minute or
so later and sat in the chair -behind him.
He arose, realizing that be was in her
chair and left, saying, "Heh! I guess I
better DeCamp."

Conference Round-table
Talks of Football
Several of the schools represented in
the S. M. J. C. conference, of 'which Bethel
is a member, are actively engaged in ath-letics
at the present time. Football is in
the spotlight at some of the schools, al-though
there is no conference competi-tion.
Rochester is engaged in football. Al-though
losing its first game, the team
shows possibilities cif developing into a
Bethany discussed the possibility of
having a football team this year, but for
financial reasons decided against it. At
present they are engaged in fall baseball.
Tracey, a new-corner to the conference
plans to have six-man football next year.
Tracey entered the conference taking the
place of Waldorf, who withdrew because
of their distance from other conference
Dr. Martin Luther, the only member
of the S. M. J. C. having a football team
has begun its season with bright pros-pects.
From every indication it may safely be
deduced that six-man football in the
S. M. j. C. will be a reality next year for
the entire conference.
From the Coach's Desk
At the call of Coach Bill Adam, 22 girls
responded to the first girl's basketball
practice. Among the players were Ruth
Tegenfeldt, Gladys Peterson, Marie Dahl-berg,
Audrey Martin, and Dorothy Drotz
who are returning from last year's cham-pionship
team. Around these five players
will be built the team for this year. Prac-tise
will continue each Thursday after-noon
until November 1, when regular
practise sessions will be held. Besides
playing many of the old traditional rivals,
the team will join the Park Board League.
The first official boys' basketball prac-tise
will be held Wednesday, Oct. 12.
Many of the veterans of former cam-paigns
will return. Along with this group
will be several freshmen who have had
experience in prep basketball and are
counted on to aid in the developing of a
winning combination for the coming sea-son.
Noon Prayer Meetings
The Religious Council under the capa-ble
leadership of Ned Holmgren, is tak-ing
an active interest in promoting Chris-tian
activities at Bethel. This year, the
noon prayer meetings have been added.
The men's meeting, -consisting of
Scripture reading, testimonies, song, and
prayer, is held daily at 12:40, in room
212. Truman Halvorsen has been ap-pointed
leader of this group. There is a
different person in charge each day, with
everyone taking an active part sometime
during the meeting.
,Unider the guidance of Pearl Peterson,
the girls of the school meet every day at
12:40 in room 105 for a prayer meet-ing.
Each day one of the girls reads
Scripture and then gives a few remarks.
Lettermen Advance
The newly organized "B" club met re-cently
to discuss the future program and
policies of the club. The club voted to
seek official recognition from the Student
Council. Increased attendance at the lat-er
meetings shows the growth of interest
in the new organization.
Various committees have been ap-pointed
to function for enterprises in the
near future.
One of the aims of the club will be to
send literature to all former lettermen of
the school concerning the athletic pro-gram
for this school year.
