principles. They are underlying and
determining every detail of theI work
OF the school. No branch of study is
taken up, and no arrangement of time
or work is made without this purpose.
Thus it is attempted to educate minis
tiers, who combine thorough knowl-
edge OF the divine word with Christian
character, and who know how to work
in the spirit of brotherly love and
sympathy with the people in the
misunderstanding. - :. - Z

SPECIAL CONVENTION EDITION.
SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1901.
A NOTABLE GATHERING.

The convention of the Lutheran Free
Church, now in session in Willmar,
is notable gathering, not so much in
point of numbers as in the interest
and enthusiasm manifested. It is an
interesting and impressive sight to
look over that audience and study
those characteristic faces, true types
of the doughty race they represent.
There are faces representing all kinds
of temperaments, from the most high
ly nervous to the most phlegmatic.
But over all rests that one common
mark of a rugged earnestness and I'M
wavering faith in their religion. 1t is
a faith that is willing to bear all kinds
of burdens, suffer all kinds of priva-
tions for the purpose of forwarding
the cause of that religion. It is q
faith that can bear all this because it
feels that the cause is the Lords, and
therefore can not fail, but that it is a
blessed privilege to be allowed to take
part in that work. These men are not
satisfied to enjoy their religion them
selves. They feel that it is their duty
to carry it to all who do not yet en-
JOY it. Missionary work seems to be
the main thought in the mind of every
man present.
They will have occasion to prove
by their acts the earnestness of their
professions. There will be no small
demands made on them. Augsburg
Seminary will ask for contributions
that might stagger older and numeric-
ally stronger church organizations.
The foreign missions board will make
an earnest appeal for large dona-
tions. But Judging from the temper
hitherto displayed it is safe to say
that the appeals will not be in vain.
One pleasant feature of the meetings
is the singing. The grand old psalms,
whose tunes and words are so char
acteristic of, q deep earnestness, are
sung with a vigor that makes the en-
tire building vibrant. This music is
thoroughly expressive of an earnest
and sober religious conviction, and
seems best fitted to the character of
the people. The ragtime ditties so
often masquerading as religious songs
in this country would be entirely out
of place in this gathering. It is to be
hoped that the Scandinavians will re-
tain their solemn and impressive
psalms, and train the rising genera
ton to sing them with the old-time
vigor. H. .>. ...- II.
Professors Sven Oftedal and George
Syerdrup, the men who for more than
q quarter of century have stood
guard over the welfare of Augsburg
Seminary, are here to renew their
efforts for the school. Oftedal talks
about his life-work being soon over,
but judging from the force and spirit
displayed by this veteran he may yet
for many years labor for his beloved
institution. The burdens borne by
these two men have been great and at
times enough to break down ordinary
men, but their energy and unwavering
faith in their cause have enabled them
to bear them.

organized the Conference, the school
was left without buildings, and for
about two years was conducted in a
rented hall by Prof. Wenaas.
But the energetic and practical Rev.
.. Paulson, at that time in charge of
a church in Minneapolis, took up the
work of securing suitable quarters.
He obtained grounds in Minneapolis,
raised about $4,000 in cash, and in
1872 had 2 three-story brick veneered
building ready toreceive the school.
This gave courage to the supporters
OF the Seminary, and the following
year at the annual meeting of the Con-
ference q second chair in theology was
created, to which Prof. Sven Oftedal
accepted call and began work the
same year. $500;
In 1874 two more theological pro-
fessors were appointed: namely, G..
Sverdrup and S. r. Gunnerson. The
school now had q theological faculty,
composed of four able, energetic men.
But experience soon made it clear that
q theological faculty, however able,
WAS not enough to make the school
equal to the demands made upon it.:
But the lesson had to be learned
through years ofexperience. Isl
The change, however, came grad
ually. The number. of theological
professors was in time reduced from
four to two, and the number of college
professors gradually increased: J.
H. Bugge was appointed in 1882 to a
chair in the college. The result was
satisfactory. In 1885 two more col
lege professors were appointed; name
~, J. II. Blegen and Theo. S. Refine
stad. Then followed the appoint
ments of w. NJ. Petersen in 1886, and
"A. M. Hove in 1887. j. L. Nydahl
succeeded the late J. 81. Bugge in 1891,
and III. N. HendricksOn succeeded T.
s. Reimestad in 1900. .zz, z*~s.. y. =
In 1890 Augsburg Seminary became
the theological school OF the United
Norwegian Lutheran church of Anne
RIGA, formed by the Union of the Con-
ference, the Anti MissOurian Broth
erhood, and the Augustana Synod.
The United Church, however, with
drew It's support in 1893, and estab-
lished a new school. This led to a
legal controversy with the United
Church, which was finally settled in
August, 1898, Augsburg Seminary re-
linquishing 1ts Endowment Fund on
condition that no further claim should
be made BY the United Church against
Augsburg Seminary. This leaves the

An AIstenlioas Race.

"We arc a temperate people" said Q Chinaman of Race street, as he re- garded one of his brothers coming out of saloon with kettle of beer, ''and sight like that is rarely to be seen here. Joe Kee has a white wife, YOU know. Maybe the beer is for her. Anyhow, not one Chinaman in ten in this colony would take drink if you should ask him to, and not one in one thousand would get drunk. Did you ever see drunken China man? Are there Chinese among your barroom loafers and hangers on? But you will say with sheer that we all smoke opium, and that an opium smoker, of course, will not drink because the pipe gives one an aversion to alcohol. 1t is true that the opium smoker can't drink, but it is not true that all Chinamen smoke. For no one can smoke and work, and it is only the loafers of Chinatown, the card sharps and confidence men who hit the pipe. The true reason of Chinese temperance in this country is one of economy. We can't afford to drink, to get drunk. to be arrested and to be fined, and. there fore, as Q race, would like to be just as intem- perate as any other people, only they control themselves. n Philadelphia Record.

State Association Will Assist Local
 Business Men in the Thorpe Suit.
 The Business Men,l association of the towns of Derby. shelton, Ansonia and Seymour, held their annual ban- quet at the Bassett house in Derby few evenings since. The one matter of general discussion was the suit Of D. Sherwood Thorne against the Bridgeport association.
 MT Thorpe has bsou@ht suit for dam ages against tho Bridgeport associa- tion for placing his name on the de linquent debtors list" The state as- soc1ation has become interested in the action and will support the Bridgeport association in it's defense. Attorney Joseph l.. Barbour of Hartford has been retained by the state association to assist Attorneys Beers and Foster of Bridgeport. The gist of the discus sion was that the state organization would carry the case to the United States supreme court if necessary. The legality of maintaining delinquent debtors list is of interest to Bradstreet and Dun's commercial agencies as well as to the Business Mems association. The question at issue is a wide one.

WHERE M,KINLEY WAS SHOT.
Remarkable Phenomenon Discovered by Ohio Men in Temple of Music.

A remarkable discovery was made in the Temple of Music, Pan-American Exposition last week, which almost startled those who made 1t. ln the grain of the wood flooring, almost II the exact spot where President Me kinley stood when stricken down by the bullet of an. assassin, was found to be portrayed q splendid likeness or the martyred president
 The profile is by no means perfect, but when once seen 1t seems to de- yelop, and if the observer looks carc- fully all of the prominent features of William Mckinley. are discernible. The likeness was at first thought 10 be. the trick of some one. but repeated study of the grain of the wood has convinced those who have seen 1T that it is genuine.
 The likeness lies within the railing placed around the spot where the pres ident fell. It is the size of an ordlna- ry cabinet photograph and is located about two feet west of the brass star driven in the floor to designate the ex- act place where he stood when shot.
 In the likeness the high forehead and Napoleonic nose of President Me Kinley are. the most prominent fea- lures. The lights and shadows of the building have something to do with the picture and these tend to bring out in relief the strong, determined chin. The presidents heavy, oyerhanginS eyebrows also are plainly visible to the observer.
 The casual visitor in the temple, perhaps, would not notice the likeness In fact it is really hard to find. It is necessary to stand in a certain posi- ton in order to obtain the advantage of the light and shadows.
 The finding of the likeness was an accident. The discovery was made by man from Massilon, Ohio, who had been q major ill the Civil war, and who on various occasions had yls- ited the president at Canton. The discovery was made known to Jerome Bayliss, also of Massilon. Mir Bay liss made an Investigation and called phenomenon.
 If the discovery had been made un- der similar circumstances in the mid dle ages,'' said Mir Bayliss. !" it would have led to superstitious beliefs. The Temple would have immediately been made shrine. I have seen several likenesses in the natural grain 9. wood but never have | seen anything so perfect as this.

 to start a school for the instruction of
 persons desiring to learn the fine points

 him in an exhibition wrestling bout on
 the night that opens his new school. The letter stated that the instructor
 had selected man to wrestle with him
 on that night, but the latter has sent
 him word that he will not be able to
 appear on the night selected for the
 opening-the first Monday in Novem-
 Der. The well known B. A. c. wrest-
 Ter will also be unlikely to appear at
 that time. He would like to know
 what kind of game he is up against before he appears in such an exhibi- ton. Perhaps it is ruse to give a

They Never Get rreckrcd.

A curious thing about the children of Russian parents reared in the tene. ments of Philadelphia is that they
 never get frecklcd or sunburned like the children of other nationalities. With the fairest complexion, blue eyes and yellow hair, they will play all day in the streets with no protection but . single garment, and yet never show the slightest trace of freckles or sunburn. An explanation of this is that there is said to be no yellow pigment in theix skip.-Ph Philade lphia Record. {

CAPTAIN WORTH MAKEsA TALK.
Tells Seattle People Of This Wonderful
Mining Regiou.

The mining possibilities Of the Blue
mountains in eastorn Oregon are attract.
ing the attention Of prospectors and
capitalists, and several Seattle men
have been tempted TO risk their future
fortunes In that section. During the
past week Captain Frank Worth has re-
turned from an extended sojourn about
Sumpter, and his impressions and opin.
ions Of that section will be Of interest to
all who have desire to become connect.
ed with the mining industry. sxid he: /:
~ spent about three weeks in eastern
Oregon and travelled pretty thoroughly
over . region having . radius Of about
thirty miles. I was accompanied by
James Bumgardner, one Of the expert
enced prospectors in that country, who
has made locations that have proved to
be among the best mines in that section.
1.-THE country is one easy to travel
over; there is little underbrush and the
grades are not steep, or not 80 steep ~
they are in most mining countries. An.
other consideration that impressed me
very favorably 10 the ease with which
one can get in and out Of the country.
A narrow gauge road runs from Baker
City up to sumpter and good wagon
roads extend in all directions. The
country is we'll provided with timber
and water for mining purposes. and
from indications on the outoroppings Of
She lsdoss tho mountains there arc we'll
eupplsd with mineral deposits.
"The most Of my time was spent In
the vicinity Of Bourne, . mining to~A
