Bishop FIenshurg. OF Lund Sweden. has
passed away. In appearance the hishop
looked more like Roman cardinal than
protestant parson, and his uitra-high
church conceptions and views of the no.
sition and powers OF the church did not
oiner IN many respects from those enter
sained by the Roman hierarchy. In his
eyes the state church was a holy insti-
tuition as infallible as the pope a Rome,
ana his greatest anxiety at all times was
now TO keep his ministers aloof from the
lnHuences Of the free church. The late
bishop was an able man and very elo-
quent- He was born in Skaane and smoke
with a noticeable tinge OF the Skaaue d.
alact, but the auditors soon forgot his
provincialism under the spell of his ear
nestness and logic. The salary of the
Bishop Of Lund is 80. 600 crowns a year
and applicants are numerous.
during the three first quarters OF the

from Sweden aggregated 1900 persons as
