of the eighth district, adopt the fol-

cannot be otherwise than detrimental
to the moral natures of the rising gem

during the year, Of the state Of public
sentiment in this regard to the end
that we may not be caught unawares

Christian in character or in accord

free people and its institutions. It is
necessary always to retain the Chris

aim was to9educate ministers for free
I Lutheran churches. The idea was
new to the n orwegians. and the school
could not be modelled after the institu-
tions of the established church of Nor
way. The school has, therefore, had
more difficulties to contend with than
the Summaries established later.
The supporters Of Augsburg Sem

Prof. Sven oftsdal.

Prof. Sven Oftedal, the veteran
Augsburgian professor, is an honored
participant in the deliberations of the
Free church at Willmar. He was
born at Stavanger, Norway, March
%, 1874. He graduated from a school
in his native city in 1862, and COM
pleted bis theological studies at the
University of Norway in 1871, having
devoted good long time to the study
of ancient and modern languages,
literature, philosophy, etc. He trav-
eled through several European coun-
tries and spent one year in study at
Paris. He accepted call as profess
sor in theology at the Augsburg Sem
mary in 1873, and has since then been
untiring in his work for the school.
He has labored early and late and has
participated in the achievements as
we'll as the troubles of the school dur
ing his connection with the same dur
ing the past % years. He saw the en-
dowment fund which had accumulated
for the permanent support of" the
school lost because of church dissen-
sion. In 1878 he was elected a men,
Der of the board of education, which
position he held for ten years serving
as president four years, In'18S6 when
the public library of Minneapolis was
chartered by the legislature, Prof.
Oftedal was made member of the
board and has acted as chairman Of
the library committee for long period
of years. Prof. Gifted al has taken an
active part in temperance work. He
was one of the organizers of the first
temperance society in
Minneapolis. He was one of the lead
ing men in the Norwegian-Danish Ev.
Lutheran Conference. He was the
originator of the present high school
system at Minneapolis, and the branch
system of the public library.
