Dak., a twelve-family hamlet 42 miles northwest of Sioux Falls, Mrs. Alice Lundberg, 36, drives her white '59 Mercury eight miles from her farmhouse each morning to reach the white wooden schoolhouse by 7:45 a.m. Alone in the 28-ft. by 25-ft. classroom, she spends 80 minutes plotting the day's 36 separate topics for her 17 pupils, who come from seven nearby farm families.

That is the direction in which we must move-forward, toward freedom and progress." To accomplish this, he said...
...make the Gospel message a life-changing reality in men's hearts. The American Lutheran Church thinks it may have found one solution in its "Faith in Life Dialogue," a week-long experiment that concluded last week in the neighboring towns of Fargo (pop. 50,500), N.
