Attorney General Speaks of Chapel by Gerald Endahl Sigurd Anderson, Attorney Gen-eral for the State of 'South Dakota, addressed the Augustana chapel on Wednesday, September 17, and left a large challenge before the students. Mr. Anderson, a former student of Canton Lutheran Nor-mal school, in a talk on "Secur-ity," stated: "there is no security in the force of arms." In the development of his well organized speech Anderson show-ed that down through the ages from the time of the cave man un-til now, man has always relied on power for security and has always met someone greater. The cave man had his stone weapons which were developed to metal but lost their effectiveness when armor was invented. Later gun powder was invented, then large armies, mechanized armies, until today one pilot with an eight pound bomb can destroy a whole city and populace. Anderson stated that the only answer to the quest for security will be found in the plan of Jesus Christ. The plan which calls for peace and loving your neighbor. It is the only plan that has never been tried in large countries and on a large scale. It is the obligation of the Chris-tian students at Augustana and over the rest of the world today to present this plan of Christ's to their neighbors, to develop the opinion that it is time to put the plan of Jesus Christ into effect. Mr. Anderson stated that until this is done wars will continue. In closing he said that the stu-dents of today are the hope of the world.
