His voice suddenly ceased, he threw
his arms up, and as he turned q little
forward toward the congregation he
was seen to reel aad stagger back
against the wall. For one intense, tre-
mendous second of time he stood there
with the whole church smitten into q

"He Landed In He'll"

Deep River, Conn.,, Dec. 29.-The
Rev. G. o. Peterson, pastor of the
Swedish Congregational Church,
preached funeral sermon yesterday
which has caused much comment
among the friends of Theodore II. Ahl-
strom, a Swede, who died on Christ
mas Day after an illness of only few
hours. Mr.. Peterson said: II would
commit great sin if, knowing the life
he lived, l stood here praising him.
None who is here now can judge me on
the Judgment Day because l praised
him in my funeral sermon. One may
say with certainty that he landed in
hell. According to what I have heard
he lived without God, and so he died
without God; and you may be sure he
was not carried into Abraham's bosom.
This wss undoubtedly the worst cstas-
trophe that could have befallen ALL
