Several Augie students and
faculty were among the nearly
6,000 persons participating in
the opening session of the
Faith-in- Life Assembly in
Brookings Sunday, Septem-ber
15. This was the first in
an entire series of meetings,
seminars, drama produc-tions,
and various other e-vents
to take place this week.
The entire program is com-parable
to the famous
Kirchentag programs in
Germany.
Augustana faculty partici-pating
in the activities include
F. 0. M. Westby, Tom Kilian,
Stanley Olson and Verlyn
Smith.
The main speaker at the
opening session was Bishop
Hanns Lilje of Hanover, Ger-many.
This is the same Bish-op
Lilje who stirred many lis-teners
in the Sioux Falls area
last fall when he was one of
the three special speakers in
the Augustana Sperry &
Hutchinson Lecture Series.
Bishop Lilje presented three
main points in his talk: con-viction,
or firmness of faith;
courage, or fearlessness, and
community, or fellowship.
Conviction becomes ever
more important in our mo-dern
age, as it is impossible to
stand up to our enemies such
as communism whenweknow
not what we ourselves stand
for. Bishop Lilje pointed out
that some of the better educa-ted
men ofttimes fail to real-ize
the responsibilities that go
with their position and stand
no convictions in their daily
lives.
Courage is necessary to
combat the many fears and
threats in the world. Since our
freedom comes not from
Washington, D. C., but from
God, we should place our en-tire
trust in Him and not mis-takenly
place our ultimate
faith in man. Lilje quoted the
existentialist, Camus, in say-ing
that man is basically two
things: a coward, and a self-ish
being. Christian courage
is relevent also to the scholar-ly
world. Bishop Lilje made
the interesting statement that
only through Christian cour-age
do we achieve "real intel-lectual
independence."
Community becomes in-creasingly
pushed arrear in
our age as man's basic make-up
becomes one of loneliness.
Lilje thinks that future sociol-ogists
may well class our gen-eration
as one in which a ba-sic
psycho-pathological char-acteristic
is that we are unable
to meet people in simple mu-tual
trusts and relationships.
This inability stems from the
aforementioned fear prevelant
in the world.
The only answer for the
Christian Church is for each
man to be a Christian in his
own walk of life, for the church
to get into the world, rather
than try to exclude the world
from the church.
This program is entirely
new in the United States and it
is hoped that it will prove suc-cessful
in its goal: to bring
faith into life.

Organized teamwork is the
planned method of obtaining
the goal of $3,000.00 for the
Student Chest this year. Stu-dent
Chest Week will be held
September 23 through 27.
During this week each Au-gustana
student will be con-tacted
by a Student Chest
worker for a contribution of
two dollars or more. Tuesday
through Thursday of that
week chapel period will be de-voted
to explaining the pur-pose
and achievements of the
Chest.
Student contributions will
comprise most of the Student
Chest Drive this year instead
of the various fund-raising ac-tivities
characteristic of pre-vious
years. The drive is head-ed
by senior Dennis Norlin,
assisted by Paul Rogers and
Dave Lerseth. There are ten
captains heading teams of ten
workers each who will do the
task of contacting each stu-dent.
These captains include
Norwood Knutson, Marcia
Hoime, Don Randolph, Judy
Ehrhardt, Kent Benthin,
Mary Beth Wait, Dick Nie-buhr,
Nancy Erickson, Judy
Wyffels and Sid Strange.
The Student Chest has three
primary concerns. Fifty per
cent of the money in the chest
goes b the Pine Ridge Indian
reservation summer recrea-tion
program, forty per cent
to the foreign students at Au-gie
and ten per cent to the
W o rld University Service
which distributes its money to
various worthwhile projects
across the world.

Doris Day and Rex Harrison,

21, at 7:30 p.m. at the Little

full-length productions that
will be shown periodically

the event.
