SWEDEN AND THE SWEDES.
An Interesting Lecture by W. W.
Thomas of Maine.


Thomas of Maine.
The second entertainment in our
lecture course occurred on Fri
day evening and was a lecture by
Hon. w. w. Thomas Of Portland,
Me. The lecturer was introduced by
Rev. G. H. Merrill.
In opening his lecture he gave a
description of the Scandinavian
peninsula, two facts being noted.
First its great size and second it's ex
treme northern latitude. Norway
and Sweden are the two most north
ern civilized kingdoms in the world.
Nature has given the people hard
soil and the people are hardy and
have always been an independent
people.
Mr.. Thomas then described their
common pursuits, their farm and
home life and some of their interest
ing customs.
Lumber and iron are their chief ex-
ports and Swedish iron is the best in
the world. The people are honest
and industrious, law-abiding and
religious. They are very polite to
both friends and strangers. They
have a great many holidays, Christ
mas being the chief one. The speak
er gave an account of his first
| Christmas in Sweden and of the
| strange Yule-tide customs.
During certain seasons in Stock
| holm the days are six hours long
and the nights 1S. At other times
In midsummer the people give them
selves up to sports, particularly in
connection with the Maypole cele-
bratiop. When the speaker was
minister to Sweden he was royalty
received at the court of the king and
and he gave an interesting descrip-
ton of the king and his court. Mr..
| Thomas met with some opposition
in an attempt to float the stars and
stripes over his official residence, but
on the ninth day Of December, the
Booth year of the birthday of Gusta-
vus Adolphus, he raised the American
flag for the first time. The Swedes
approved of the act and the flag was
frequently raised after that.
The speaker then gave a brief his
tory of Sweden, and in closing paid
tribute to John Ericsson, the inven-
tor Of the Monitor. He thought the
Americans owed a great debt of
gratitude to the inventor of a ship
that did so much to help freedom s
cause in the war.
Mr.. Thomas is graceful speaker
and quite an orator. His lecture
was thoroughly enjoyed by our
audience and he is sure of a cordial
welcome if he ever comes here again.
