 SWEDISH LUTHERAN CHURCH EFFORTS. B. F. Elmsted6 reports progress in his work as official agent for soliciting sub scriptions for the Swedish church society on Humphrey street. This society hopes by the aid of generous friends to be able to pay off it's indebtedness, caused by it's purchase of the St. John street M. E. church, which was made because the so- ciety needed greatly larger church edifice to accommodate it's growing congregation. The Swedish Lutherans themselves have come forward and subscribed most iber- ally, according to their means, and the fund to be thus raised, together with sub- | scriptions from other sources will, it is expected, float the indebtedness to such an extent that @ mortgage can be secured,
 with which to complete payment to the St.
 John street church people. The latter so-
 ciety will probably begin the erection of it's chapel, corner of Orange and Edwards streets, as soon as the frost is out of the | ground. l AT DAVENPORT CHURCH. Special services at Davenport church will be continued every evening next week
