that which is necessary according to the
words of Plutarch, "That which they
shall use when men," In our club there
are boys-so soon to be men-who can
preside at meeting and to whom it is
very easy to address he chair and to
express themselves in public. And l
have reason TO believe that this influence
will soon be fit in our church organiza-
tions. Again, there is learned in the club
that most important lesson. how to get
along with other boys. do not agree
with those who hold that boys should
be gathered in small groups for club
work. for the boys club should break up
the click, the poor boy and the rich boy,
the weak and the strong, the common
and the exceptional should be brought
together under favorable circumstances
Of the club for their mutual good. In
this organization the boy is placed both
in authority and under authority. Here
he learns that most difficult lesson Tor
boys, the lesson Of obedience. Another
fundamental principle taught is sell con.
troll. On the playground any word Of
criticism is at once resented, but in the
club room the boy learns to hold his
peace and take his medicine.
The boys interest, the one essential
thing in all work for the development of
boys, is marked in the club lite. This is
the one thing which the church has failed
largely to awaken in the boy, but in the
club it is present and may be used in
leading him to better things. You NAV
be sure that something about the club
will appeal to every boy and awaken an
interest in him. The boy, as a rule, is
not very deeply interested in the PRAYER
meeting, but he is interested in the
debate, the printing press, the cabinet
and the punching bag; and just here is
where the church might always find the
boy and lead him into a more manly.

Mt. Hermon a member of tie Connecti-

letter IN regard to undertaking college

letter made beautiful reference to the
club of his boyhood, showing that the
interest and intimate relationship Of the
earlier days had not ceased
Now some one objects that the club
described is not religious enough. Never
theless its influence all tends nightly IN
the making of Christian manhood.

There is none because the same results. if

NORWAY'S NEW PREMIER.
MicheIsen's Rise Has Been Rapid
One.

Michelsen's Rise Has Been a Rapid
P. G.. X. II. Nicholson, the new pre-
mier of Norway, has come to the front
with unusual rapidity. Hardly more
than two years ago he was a business
man in Bergen, and in that short time
has been elected to the storthing, held
a portfolio in the ministry, and called
by the prince regent to form a minis
try. Now he is the strongest man in
Norway and a world figure. It is true
that he had seat in the storthing in
1891, and although recognized as an
alert. active and independent young
man by his colleagues, he attracted no
particular attention. He withdrew
from political life in order to devote
himself to his business interests, which
had grown to considerable proper
tons, but kept in close touch with his
party and was returned to the stor-
thing in 1903.
Nicholson was born in Bergen in
1857 and prepared for law at the Uni
versity in Christiania, taking the exam
nation in 1879. He practiced law in
his home town, but gradually became
interested in shipping, eventually be-
coming the largest vessel owner Ill
Bergen. Early in his career he took
~ sx1 o
various positions.
After his election to the stOrthing
in 1903 he was called into the coalition
ministry by Prof. Hagerup in Febru-
airy 1904. After remaining in the min
istry barely year, first as a member
of the council of state in Stockholm
and later as minister Of finance, he re-
signed because the ministry was pro-
ceeding too slowly with the settlement
of the controversy between Sweden
and Norway over the proposition for
Norwegian consular service.
Then the whole ministry resigned in
order to give Grown Prince Gustaf
free hand. Premier Hagerup recon-
mended that either Mr.. Nicholson or
Mr.. Schonning be invited to form
new ministry. The advice was acted
upon, and Mr.. Nicholson promptly &C.
copied the invitation. His policy, as is
we'll known, is to proceed at once to
establish a consular service for Nor
way independent in every respect from
Sweden.
The ministry consists Of Jergen G.
/ Lovland, minister at Stockholm, who
will have associated with him as coun-
cillors of state E. Hagerup-Bull and
H. Bothner; Gunnar Knudsen. minis
ter of finance; Gen. OLSON, minister of
defense; A. Vinje, minister of agricul-
ture; Councillor Wexelsen, minister Of
church and education; S. A. B. Arc.
sander, chief of department Of COM
merce and industry, and K. D. Lem
kuhl, chief of the department of pub
lie works. Mr.. Nicholson himself takes
the portfolio of justice. 1t is to be
taken for granted that the whole min
istry is in accord with the premier and
that there will be developments in
short time.

LAST OF COLONY.
Survivor of Ole Bull Colony Dies in
Pennsylvania.

Survivor of Ole Bull Colony Dies in
Pennsylvania.
A few days ago Ole Olson, the last
survivor of the Ole Bull colony at New
Bergen and Oleona, Pa, died at the
age of 81. His death removes the last
representative of that impractical
scheme of the hardy Norwegians who
in 1910 went into the wilds of Potter
county, led by the famous violinist, Ole
Bull, and a year later, driven out by
starvation, scattered to various parts
of the United States. Oleson was one
of Bulls closest friends, and when a
majority of the colonists accused the
great violinist of cupidity, Oleson stood
up to defend his name. Oleson re
manned at Bergen, and he and the two
old log houses built by the colonists,
for many years have been all that con-
nected the past with the present.

SUFFRAGE IN SWEDEN.
Government Seeks to Force Passage of
Vicious Law.

The Bostrom ministry hopes to pass
it's proposed suffrage law through the
riksdag at the present session. There
is desire for the law among the peo-
pie as though nominally supposed to
extend the rights Of suffrage, the
measure is so continued as to retain
the present minority government in
control of both chambers.
In a recent debate the government
was accused by one speaker after an
other with not keeping faith with the
riksdag and the people. The promise
of a law to- extend the electoral fran
chise, by which several votes had been
obtained for the new army law, had
not been fulfilled, as the measure pro-
posed was deception.
