| Summary: | VOLUME XXV. OONOORDIA COLLEGE, MOORHEAD, MINN., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1933 Numbers Artists Present Scottish Drama Monday Night MuakaJe Based On Burns' Poem, "The Cotter's Saturday Night" IS FIRST LYCEUM NUMBER John E. Daniels Is Arranger Of Music Used In Sketch Of Lowland Life By EDFTKT.P ODEGAARD An interesting sketch of Scotch life was enjoyed by a packed house at the Moorheod high school auditorium Mon-day evening as the first number of the Conoordia artist course for this year. The entire action took place on a Sat-urday night in the kitchen of a cotter's home in the lowlands of Scotland, and the period depicted was that of the eighteenth century. The play was based on Robert Burns' poem of the same title and followed its spirit and theme. The music was arranged by John E. Daniels. Children Return From Work On this Saturday night the children returned from their work elsewhere to spend the evening with the old folk as they were accustomed to do every Sat-urday night A visitor who proved to be the laird's son and a lover of Jcan-nie came for supper, having been in-vited by the daughter of the cotter. Later a neighbor ''dropped in" and the evening was spent in true Scotch mer-riment. We can loam much from the simple life of these simple folk. The seemingly hurry we all think we are in eliminates the benefits we could get from the stories, songs, and homely pleasures which these people enjoy. The song written to the words of Burns' "A Man's A Man For A* That"1 gives us a view of the philosophy of these poor but happy people. During the performance such songs as "Hurrah for the Highlands," "My Ain Wee Hoose," "The Lord's My Shepherd," and "Auld Lang Syne," were sung. Roles Portrayed Masterly Each role was portrayed in a masterly way, both as to acting and singing, by six artist-entertainers besides the pian-ist who accompanied all the singing without score. The remaining numbers of the artist course for this year are: Neal String Quartet, December 8; Duncan Robert-son, baritone, February 16; and Lulu Glimme-Wisnaee, piano, April 3. The numbers this year are engaged by the college through the Redpath bureau of New York.

All College Cast To Give Comedy By Oscar Wilde "The Importance of Being Ern-est" Is Chosen As Alpha Psi Omega Play TO CONTAIN NINE ROLES Tryouts To Be Held Next Week Under Direction Of Mrs. Ostby Omicron Tau Delta Elects New Officers Olive GilberLson, Binford, N. D., was chosen president of Omicron Tau Delta, home economics club, at a meeting held Wednesday, October 11. Other officers elected were Florence Myster, Moor-head, vice president; Beulah Johnson, Aneta, N. D., secretary, and Smma Eide, Buxton, N. D., treasurer. "The Importance of Being Ernest" by Oscar Wilde has been chosen by the Alpha Psi Omega as its production for the first semester. Channing Pollock's '"Hie Enemy" was considered for pre-sentation, but as plans are being made to present a very dramatic social prob-lem play by Ibsen and two religious plays during the year, a comedy was chosen for the first semester. Mrs. Norma Gooden Ostby, who will direct the play, says concerning it; '"Hie Importance of Being Ernest" is one of the two or three best classic comedies that has been produced in modern times. It is an English comedy of manners with a cast of nine people, four women and five men. The char-acters are beautifully divided in im-portance. No one character is what you might call a star. TTiere are no minor parts. All are outstanding pieces of characterization." Concerns Lady Brackncll The story concerns Lady Bracknell, who has a marriageable daughter, Gwendolyn. Lady Bracknell is very particular as to whom shall be the son-in- law. Mr. John Worthing is desirous of becoming the said son-in-law but several seemingly insurmountable dif-ficulties confront him, the largest of these being that his_name is not Ernest. Mr. Worthing has a great friend, Mr. Algernon Moncrieff, who is a nephew of Lady BracknelL Algernon is ex-ceedingly necessary to the story. He eventually wants to marry Cecily Car-dew, Worjhing's ward. Cecily also feels that her husband ought to be called Ernest. Two characters who are absolutely indispensible are Miss Prism, Cecily's governess, and her lover, Can-on Chasuble. Conversation Termed Brilliant Quoting Mrs. Ostby again, she states: "It is impossible to give an idea of the brilliant and clever conversation be-tween these two. I shall not even tell a few of the humorous twists, but I know that it will be a thoroughly de-lightful production, and a marvelous ncting opportunity. It is not an easy play for amateurs." Tryouts will be continued during the next week. Mrs. Ostby and the mem-bers of the Alpha Psi Omega urge that all who are interested try out for the play. It is their desire that every stu-dent, regardless of class, shall have an opportunity to develop his dramatic abilities. A copy of the play is on the reserve shelf at the library.

How then, can he become righteous, or right with God? This was the theme of the fourth Bible lecture on Romans presented by Pastor H. G. Randolph last Tuesday. God's righteousnes as explained in verses twenty-one to twenty-three of chapter three is a manifested righteous-ness, apart from anything which man tries to do to meet God's commands, such as praying, attending church ser-vices, and teaching Sunday school. Our position before God is based entirely upon the word of another. We can contribute nothing to what Christ com-pleted on the cross for us. This mani-fested righteousness is witnessed in the law and the prophets in the Scriptures which the people of Paul's time had accepted. It is also a faith righteous-ness received as a gift from God, which all need, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, and which all may have if they but believe on the Lord Jesus. K Righteousness, as further discussed from verses twenty-four to twenty-eight, is imputed or reckoned to us through the grace of the Father, the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, and laith which the Holy Spirit gives us. Through the blood, God justifies a sin-ner, or declares one hopelessly un-righteous, righteous. When we are under the covering of Jesus Christ's blood, Jesus who is the mercy-scat and the blood propitiation, God looks upon us as though we had not sinned, and raises us up as sons of God. God's righteousness in the last three verses of the chapter is shown to bo a vindica-tion of lirst, God's passing over of the sins in the Old Testament in view of the fulfillment on the cross of Jesus Christ, whose work had been complet-ed since the beginning of the world, and the sins of the believers today be-cause of what Jesus has done on the Cross; second, of God's glory; third, of God's dealing with Jew and Gentile on the some basis; fourth, of His oneness; and fifth, of His law. He is justified who is under the blood. If the sins of the people are not on Jesus, they are on each individual, and he is refusing to have them covered. "Apart from Christ, the sinner in God's sight is unrighteous," was the theme of the Bible lecture Tuesday evening, October 10. From chapter one verse eighteen to chapter three verse twenty, three groups of sinners were discussed. Among the Gentile sinners are those who are ungodly. Men be-gan knowing God but suppressed that knowledge of God's divinity and power and as a result he has been going downward ever since. Man is never on a higher plane than his religion. The idolators among the Gentiles became fools. They exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for cor-ruptible images like man and beast. J£ a man's god is a human being, he can never rise beyond the depravity of man; if his god is a beast, humanity has degraded below the level of man. Paganism is man's deliberate departure irom God. If at any time we have de-nied that God is a judge sure to pun-ish, we have created a god out of the fabric of our imagination and bow down to it^-an idoL The moralists, philosophers and searchers ot the Gentile group, practice what they see is wrong and condemn in others. They dbpise Gods goodness and lorbearance. Wo do not realize, said Pastor Randolph, that when God takes away His blessings, the condition of our land is not due to the govern- (Continued on Page 4, CoL 4) Student Body Picks Margaret Hilde For Homecoming Queen Margaret Hilde, Moorhead, will reign over the homecoming activi-ties October 28 and 29 as Miss Con-cordia as a result of the student election held last Friday.

For without tfee sned-ding of blood there is no remission of sins, and without this proclamation in our preaching there is no salvation. "We are called to be ambassadors of Jesus Christ," he concluded, "and our commission is to proclaim Him as the Savior irom sin and death. He came and was crucined in order that we might be saved.
