In his lecture he described many scenes of interest which he had visited in the Holy Land and which are important from the standpoint of Biblical his-tory. The slides which Mr. Renaas used in connection with his address were largely produced from photos which he himself had taken. The scenes included were of the most interest-ing places Mr. Renaas had seen from the Suez canal to the Bospor-us. The lecture was sponsored by the Luther League of the First Luth-eran Church. Marcus Houge of Augustana 'College is president of the Luther League at the church. PUBLICATION OF ANNUAL POSTPONED UNTIL FALL The publication of the Augustana College Annual is to be postponed until next fall, it was decided by the student body, Feb. 5.

Solberg spoke at the meeting of the "Y" business men's discussion club, at the Y. M. C. A. on Thursday evening, Feb. 3. The topic of the address was "Jesus' Teaching on Sunday Ob-servance and Its Influence on the Social Order. Are His Teachings different from the Fourth Command-ment?" Science students of Augustana college are taking active steps to obtain the Beta chapter of the Sig-ma Delta Epsilon, a national science fraternity recently organized at Northern Normal, according to the decision taken by the college stu-dents majoring or minoring in science at a meeting held Feb. 8. The purpose of the organization is to foster interest in high school and particularly in college science. the first home debate of the season for the local college. The question was the McNary-Haugen farm re-lief bill. Theodore Grimsrud, Arnold Hag-en and Herman Jacobson repre-sented Concordia on its first in-vasion of South Dakota. Augus-tana, debating the affirmative, was represented by Arthur Berdahl, Palmer Larson, and Alvin Rogness. Professor Barnes of the University of South Dakota was critic judge. Theme at. Conference Will Be "What Shall I Do With My Life?" AUGIE TO SEND DELEGATES Speeches By Leaders of Church Will Feature the Annual Students' Meeting "What Shall I Do With My Life" will be the theme at the Lutheran Students' Union and Editorial con-ference convening at a joint meet-ing, to be. held at St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minn., on March 4-8. Speeches .by leaders of the church will feature the annual student Meeting. The annual sessions of the L. S. U. will be opened by an address on Friday* evening -by Rev. C. S. Thorpe of Minneapolis. He will speak on "A God-given Life." Pro-fessor C.. E. Tiller of the Red Wing SPEAKS TO STUDENTS In a most inspiring and instruc-tive address, Rev. Knute Monson, a missionary to Madagascar, pre-sented a vivid and concrete picture of "the place and work dearest to his heart" (as he expressed it), during the chapel period on Thurs-day, Feb. 3. Mr. Monson had been sent out by the Students' Union to speak before the various schools on this subject. "One can never conceive of the long journey from here to Mada-gascar until he has experienced it," he began. "Traveling steadily without interruption, both night and day, would require a time ex-tending over two months. The dis-tance is approximately fourteen or fifteen thousand miles. Mada-gascar is the third largest island in the world, with a population of over three and a half million. It has been a French colony since 1906." He continued by telling that con-ditions existing there today cannot be compared with those existing twenty-five years ago. The coast villages today have all the modern conveniences, practically, that are found in our cities. Telephones. and telegraph and electric service are not lacking. Wireless connections are made with all parts of the world. There are banks and trust companies, postal service, and newspapers published in. both the French and native languages. The tribal feuds, the many fear-ful superstitions, the painful suf-ferings and anguish endured by the natives because of their beliefs, have now declined somewhat, he said, due to the influence of Chris-tianity and civilization. The atti-tude of the government, too, towards the protection of missionaries, has improved to a great extent. There are at present seven Prot-estant missionary societies working on the land, he stated. Some of these have been working for al-most a hundred years. The Ameri-can mission 'however, dates back (Continued on page 2) 1411116.
