desire to help his countrymen in the far
off country, Rev. Esbjorn settled with his
company in Andover. ILL.,, which soon be-
came a large center for the Swedes. He
soon organized a church there and later on
other churches at Princeton, Moline, Hen
derson and Galesburg. Ill.
But DR.. Esbjorn's work was not limited
to Illinois alone In the spring of 1851 he
undertook a journey to the eastern states
to solicit funds among the English and
German-speaking Lutheran people for the
erection OF churches in the newer and
poorer western settlements. In Boston he
was introduced to the famous Swedish
singer, Jenny Lind, and received from her
a gift of $500. With the money he gath
cred he erected church at Andover and a
frame church at Moline, Ill. One of those
who was of great assistance to DIR. Esbjorn
in the trying early days was DR.. E. More
Illus now living at Red Wing, MINI, and
president of the syrod. Together they
walked or rode between the scattered set
Elements assisting their countrymen in
every way. They were tireless in their eff
forts, and, sacrificing comfort they set an
example for their brethren.
About this time It became evident that
q stronger church government was neces-
sary for their existence. DR.. Esbjorn,
therefore together with some Norwegian
pastors, met with the English Lutheran
congregations in northern Illinois at Ce-
darville In the fall of 1851 and organized
the Evangelical Lutheran synod OF north
ern Illinois
Meanwhile the congregation at Gales
burg had called Rev. T. N Hasselqulst Of

Beside the small means at their disposal
they often had to be their guard for
the Indians, who often annoyed them At
times they were compelled to leave their
dwellings and flee from the prairie into
the towns with the Indians at their heels
and their houses in flames behind them.
The spiritual status of the different con-
gregations varied exceedingly. Here Is q
picture of the discipline exercised within a
northern settlement: The men gathered and
went from place to place to punish indi-
viduals and apply the law" One man
was trying to appropriate the land of a
widow. He was driven out OF the settle
ment, whereupon the whole crowd plowed,
sowed and fenced In a considerable posi-
ton of the widows land and promised to
protect her rights. After it was all done.
the committee" took a few drinks and
spend an enjoyable evening together" This
of course, was more on the order Of ''vigi-
lance than of evangelical church disci-
pine; but their motives seem to have been
good, and 1t had at least the desired eff
feet.

and the eX-president whose rush around
the capitals and courts of Europe has
turned all attention from the approaching
comet. The parallel Is rather to bring out
the incapacity of the public from top to
bottom to see greatness when not set forth
with some striking or sensational element.
The course of going straight from the
White House to the wilds of Uganda was
too much out of the common not to hypno-

by the whirl, sends to his paper this
grimly humorous dispatch:

him from Gondokoro time has long since
ceased to have any meaning. Since Febru-

graph office to know the names OF the
places, the month and the date, for they

They wander in a kind of dream. Person
ally, after one week l have begun TO doubt
the glamour of a fireman's life. Waiting to
jump for a motor car when the alarm may
be given--in two minutes, in half hour or
not at all-is more fearing even than walt
ing for flying man to fly.
This is indeed a singular adventure
upon which we are engaged, 1t is useless
to pretend that it is not a royal progress,
for what further marks of distinction could
any sovereign receive than to travel in
royal trains, to dwell in kings houses, TO be
welcomed by kings, queens and princes, Ia
drive in state carriages amid flags and
cheering crowds. and to have the yards of
warships manned for him?
And 1t is not only the ex-president who
is honored if he were reigning mon
arch. Mrs. Roosevelt. with her charm of
quiet dignity, is honored equally. Her
bright, unspoilt, attractive son and daughter
are honored, too.
The whole affair is quite unique. one

Grants Tour and RooseveIts.

Correspondents of foreign newspapers
following the trail of Colonel Roosevelt
draw novel pen pictures Of the event and
occasionally institute comparisons In the
latter class is the Paris correspondent Of
London Truth, who contrasts the present
tour with that OF General Grant, thirty
two years ago. He says;
The tour of General Grant when ex-
president round the capitals and courts
of Europe was humdrum and quiet, and
indeed just nothing comparable that now

title-RooseVelt Yet Grant turned the tide
