expected, like the prophet Elijah of

abode of the blessed, although long
waited for, did not come Off according
to expectation, hence the disappoint-
ment OF the maidens. Ats. 5.4s7 Madison
Avenue stands modest little church,
the pastor Of which is Rev. o. II. Lar
son. He is q Swede, snd the small
congregation over which he presides
is made up entirely of people of the
same nationality. Swedish servant girls

congregation call themselves the
'Children of God.'' According to the
peculiar teachings and doctrines of
this little church, its members are the
chosen people of God, especially Sc
lected from among the million and Il
half inhabitants of Chicago for saliva
ton, and Sunday was fixed upon as the
millennium for them. They waited all
day and far into the night, but We're
not called from earth, and then dc,
parted to their homes.
