 The Swedish BaptIsts To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER In @ recent issue of the MORNING JOURNAL AND-CoURIER noticed an article stating that the Swedish church, religious organization recently formed in the city, had bought the Humphrey street church As the facts are not all stated and it is Iia- ble to mislead great many people who are interested in the matter, wish to correct the wrong impression that has been made. The parties who have bought the church are not the Baptists who were the original founders of the Swedish religious organiza- t1on. The Swedish Baptists are the founders ot the SWedes coming together in this city. MT. O. Peterson was the first one that sug- gested that the Swedish people be brought together for religious worship. As they did not have any place to worship in, the Young Mems Christian association let them occupV their hall through the spring, summer and late in the fall. After that time they hired a hall in the Insurance building They are there now and MT. Malm is still preaching for them.
 The Baptist Swedes would not have taken any notice of this article had it not been that several persons came to them and congratu- lated them on their new church, and they knew nothing about it. AS @ good many people have contributed money toward the purchase of this church, supposing that it was in the interest of the Baptists, but as they receive no benefit whatever from it. YOU can easily see that the whole affair is entirely misunderstood.
 We have been tardy in correcting this er- TOT. SWEDISH BAPTIST. Young Peoples Literary Association. The Young Peoples Literary association of this city have returned from their visit to Paterson, N. J., and gave very successful entertainment highly spoken of by the Pat erson paper and people. The entertainment which was given on Tuesday evening. was for the benefit of Guild of St. Paul's church.
