Pedal Master Fleischer Performs Organ Recita One of the country's foremost organists, Dr. Heinrich Fleischer, will give a concert at Trinity Lutheran Church in Moorhead, Minn. Sunday, Mar. 25 at 8:15 p.m. Sponsored by Concordia College, Dr. Fleischer's concert is open to the public and is free of charge. The Saturday preceding the concert, Mar. 24, Dr. Fleischer will conduct a master class for organ students on the Bach Liturgical Year. Charge for the class, which will meet at Trinity Lutheran from 4-6 p.m., is five dollars. Registration will be held from 3:30 to 4 p.m. preceding the class. A native of Eisenach, Germany, Bach's birthplace, and also a direct descendent of Martin Luther, Dr. Fleischer was educated at the University of Leipzig and State Academy of Music, Leipzig. At 25 he became the youngest professor of the famous state academy. In 1949, the renowned musician came to the United States and for eight years was professor of organ, choir and Lutheran church music at Valparaiso University. He accepted his present position at the University of Minnesota in 1959 and is also organist and choir director at Grace University Lutheran Church, Minneapolis.

Peterson "The Church ... is sustained—and reformed—by the power of God at work in the Holy Spirit. The Church is the place where the Spirit dwells. Men find him there, and he uses those men so that he may find others."—Robert McAfee Brown. If this is what the Church is, then what authority does the church have? In examining Mr. Brown's statement it may be pondered as to just how the Spirit dwelling in the Church conveys his Authority to man. Three points of view, all of which have their problems, can be built on the basis Mr. Brown provides. The first adopts the position that because "the Church ... is sustained ... by the power of God," it is the one and only authority for man. The Church speaks through those men most acquainted with the tradition of the Church and, quite particularly, Landlubbers Ahoy!

Parents of 'Pirates' The danger with this Roman Catholic position is that the in- dividual has little freedom to develop his own conceptual under- standing of God. Although he may have his own religious ex- perience, he is not free to relate his experience to his life.
