The swedis Receive.

On the evening of the 18th of Dec.
ember, 1906, occurred a surprise party,
given for Rev. Olson, pastor OF the
Swedish church of this city, and his
family. To say it was a surpriss-n the
fullest n of the word. is putting i,
mildly.
On the evening in question the mem
bers of the congregation met at the
farmers room, In the eonr honse in
this city, IN large numbers. They dep.
utized that past master in deception,
Matt johnson. to go over to the pastors
home and try to inveigle hin wei to the
farmers room. Mi. johnson went over
and told the pastor and his family that
that two lawyers were going Il argue in
the court house upon the question of
Christmas or religious matters, he did
not know which, and suggested that il
would be q good idea for them to 60
oyer and hear it. The pastor and his
family heartily agreed with him, and

were confronted with q large number OF
