ought to have a charitable institution
in Chicago. Backed by the ministers
of Chicago, the various ladies' aid so
cieties of the Chicago churches took
up the matter in earnest and soon had
a sufficient fund to open hospital
large enough to accommodate 10
patients The hospital was soon in
adequate TO meet the demands, and in
1898 the cornerstone of a new build
ing. six stories in height, was laid,
having a capacity of 125 beds. In 1904
the building was enlarged to accom-
modate 200 patients, and a training
school for nurses was commenced
DR.. M. Wahlstrom has been at the head
of the institution since 1904. Since
it's organization, 24,S9S patients have
been treated up to Jan. 1, 1903. Al
though 2,4S3 patients were treated
during 1908, there were only142 deaths,
or less than 6 per cent.

controlled by the Minnesota confer
ence. and the Emmanuel hospital OF

of Hasselquist marked an epoch in the
history of our Lutheran church in
America. The gifts and rare ability
with which God had endowed this
servant proved to be of exceptional
value to the multiplying congregations.
In consequence of the continual and
every widening stream of immigration
the field of labor had steadily widened
The Swedes kept settling in new
places, and Hasselquist was kept busy
visiting them, preaching to them and
organizing new congregations.
Early in 1858 he organized the I'm
manuel church in Chicago, which was
destined to become the mother church
of no less than 40 additional Swedish
Lutheran churches in that city. Rev.
Erland Carlson of the diocese of
WeXie, Sweden. was called to become
pastor of this little congregation
Carlson arrived in the fall of 1853
and continued to labor in Chicago with
undated vigor for % years How he
shared the trials Of the immigrants
during the first years may be indicated
by the following quotation from a let
ter of one of the church members
AT this yearly meeting his salary
was fixed at $500, but the pastor stated
that he would be able to get along on
$3.50"
Need of Pastors Grows.
But the need of more pastors kept
growing and from every quarter came
the cry: Come hither and help us,'
Toward the close of 1854 and in the
early part of 1855 it became possible
to ordain three young men. P A Ce
derstam, A. Andreen and z. Norelius
all of whom had pursued studies in
Sweden and the latter two also in
institutions in this country. The first
was stationed al Chisago Lake, Mimi,
at Lafayette, Ind. New calls were
sent to Sweden and in 1856 two gifted
pastors arrived, o. C. T. Andren and
Jonas Swensson, the former taking
charge of the congregation at Moline
and the latter of the congregations in
Sugar Grove and jamestown. The fol
lowing year the school teacher, P.
Beckman, and the tract distributor, P
Carlson, received license to preach.

The salary OF one of these pioneer
ministers was 1910. He received only
a part of It. Another received for
three years SIG, $3.50 and s240 re-
spectively. A third $3.50, s1s5 and
S75. A fourth received as salary for
one year one bushel of beans and a
few bushels of corn. This was 1854
1858. The fact OF the matter was that
the people had nothing to share with
their ministers. But as far as the
annals relate nobody seems to have
