The second chamber Of the riksdae
passed a local option bill by vote Of
126 to SO; but the bill was defeated
by the first chamber, the vote being

Of 152 to 14S.
P. P. Waldenstrom, who is not only
prince among the church people but
also an able and shrewd politician,
writes as follows about the PROPOSE
ton of organizing a political party
along religious lines: "To form a
party on the basis of certain relig-
ious view of life is in itself a serious
matter and calls for great cautious
ness. Eevry step in that direction
must be taken only after careful con-
sideration, and decisive step must
not be taken unless positively neces-
sary We can see that persons having
diverse religious interests have COM
mon interests in politics, and vice
versa. But the tend Of the present cir
cumstances is such that it may soon
become positively necessary to take
such step. That the leading political
papers keep kicking at those who
struggle for a Christian conception of
the world as the only sound basis for
the liberty and sound development OF
a nation-this state Of things cannot
be tolerated in the long rim. Those
who hold this conception cannot for
ever let themselves be dragged along
by leaders who seem to 60 farther and
farther in their hostility to our most
vital interests. At the first meeting,
which was held in varmland, in the
interest of starting central party
based on Christian view Of life,
hardly knew what to do, and I was
ready to propose to drop the whole
matter But when meeting was held
In Stockholm for the same purpose,
I must admit that the matter is Of q
uost serious nature and that the be.
1ievers are unpardonably negligent
when they fail to act firmly and ener.
getically. It looks as tho they are will
ing to be bulldozed to any extent. No
matter whether a man is Conserva-
tive or a Baptist, as Christian it Is
his duty to make an energetic protest
against all injustice, not only in pri-
vate affairs, not only in business, but
also in political life. And when we
see how wicked newspapers unhesi-
tatingly prevaricate and lie in their eff
forts to ridicu1e the Christian endeav-
ors we must not remain silent"
February twenty-fourth was the If

Levi Lastadius. As pastor Of Kare-

Sweden until the present time. Those

of tiles as a decorative feature. The
faience tile, some made from the
formula of the ancient Babylonian tile,
arc used to great advantage in the
moldings, architraves of doors and
windows. friezes, and so on. They
form pleasant contrast TO the cement,
and are sometimes also used for the
roofing.
The interior arrangement of the me
dunn sized home usually follows one of
three simple plans: The living room
NAV extend across the entire front of
the house with den and dining room
opening from it and the kitchen back
If the den; there may be a good sized
entrance hall with rectangular liv-
ing room on one side and the dining
room and kitchen on the other, or
there may be the square entrance hall
with the kitchen behind it and the
dining room behind the living room.
ANY Of these arrangements are cosy
and convenient, but the preference may
bo said TO rest with the first, which
allows for the long, spacious living
room. The living room of a western
home of this type was made most liv-
able by the use OF many little built-in

the dull red walls harmonized with
the woodwork of dressed redwood left

doors between the living room and the
den were a unique feature that fur
ther gave the impression of spacious
ness
1t is surely the day Of the built-in
furniture. 1t owes its vogue not only
| to the artistic demands which it meets
SO gratifyingly, but to the practical de-
mands for compact utility. There is

beauty and convenience of the house.
