Dear Mother: As Eileen has written her letter I thought I might as well get busy and write mine to-day today too. But it is still doubtful as to whether you will get the letter any sooner or not. That depends on Frederick. He has gone down to Marion's, as he usually does on Saturdays. And I don't know how soon he will be back. Ifhe should get back before the mail goes off to-night, all will be well and good; but if he doesn't you will get this letter on the usual date. So you can pass judgement on the young lad as soon as it arrives. With all my synodical work done, I am taking it fairly easy these days, passing the time in reading, writing, but omitting arithmetic. Maybe you saw the article entitled, "Now or Never", that I had in last week's LUTHERAN. I was surprised myself that it got in; for as a rule they don't accept my writings, either because they are too deep, or because they do not agree with their sentiment. Bonnie pronounced this last one "too deep" for her understanding. I wrote it because some heretical views had been published on the subject by one of our pastors. I have to keep up my reputation as the "canon of orthodoxy" around these parts. I have just sent in another article to our Canada Lutheran on the "English Versions of the Bible", in which I attack vigorously the private versions and the "butchered Bibles". If, and when it is published, it will make Clausen hot. I have also written another article on "Biblical Inspiration", which I haven't sent in yet. This with my Bible reading and reading of the Greek New Testament, and with my correspondence and garden work is about all
