For several years a movement had

raising of a large fund of 100000
crowns for Augustana. At the time of
DR. Andreen's last visit to Sweden, but
$1,000 crowns of this fund had been
raised. Consul Ekman, on hearing of
DIR. Andreen's visit in Sweden, sent for
him. and the result of the interview was
that Consul Ekman, gave to this fund
out of his own purse $4,000 crowns.
Through his own gift others were in
spiTed and the remainder of the fund
was easily procured, thus realizing the
Oscar II. 100000 crown fund. Consul
Ekman had since been very much in
terested in the work done by Angus
tana and kept continually in touch with
the institution.

Mrs. Chapman, wife OF the well.
known clergyman, j. Wilbur Chap
man, died recently. At the funeral
services DR.. Chapman paid this beau.
tiful tribute: Twenty years ago our
lives came together, and the stream OF
love has broadened and deepened I'M
til to me, at least, II is well.nigh i'm.
measurable. She was school girl
and young minister weighed down
with great burdens. / beheld her face
first wreathed In smiles and from that
day to this her life has been to me
one constant display Of sunshine.
When she came to me she found me
with q little motherless girl, and from
the moment she gave me her life she
loved US both with all the strength OF
her great nature. Our marriage was
sanctified by the birth OF baby boy
and ne no sooner drew out the teudrils
OF our hearts than ne went back again
to God, taking the best part OF our
lives with him. One day, after she
had evidently thought IL out and
prayed 1t through, she said to me: 1t
is all right, will care the more ten
darly for Bertha, and her mother in
heaven will care for my little Robert.
She has been my counselor.
Many a friend has given me credit for
this or that, the laurels might more
fttingly have been placed at her feet.
When l was unknown and practically
unused In any special way, 1t was she
who told me she thought might do
more for God and men, and then she
helped me with all her might l
testify publicly today that l owe more
for what may have been permitted
to do TO the sweet Influence OF this
angelic soul than to any one else this
side OF heaven. Her personality per-
vades many Of my sermons, and she
has animated the most OF my illustra-
lions. She early came to Christ.
When, she could not tell. They well
coined her into the church when she
was mere child, and she smiled TO
think she might have come earlier so
far as her faith was concerned. She
was the most consistent Christian l
ever knew. She lived with me nine
teen blessed happy years, and never
spoke a word that had the faintest
suggestion of impatience about 1t, or
of disloyalty to Christ, have suf-
fered what seems to me to be an ire
parable loss. My counselor, my strong
rock; my sympathetic listener, my
tireless helper, my true love, the
mother Of my children, and the wife
Of nineteen years, is gone. do sorely
