and the state of Kansas had contrib
uted literally to the school, but that
had not made them poorer by any
means. When Rev. Wahlund, the
field secretary of North Star College
comes around to solicit funds for
North Star College, he hoped that no
one would turn him down but receive
him in such a manner that he would
go away smiling. The school, he
said, is not for Swedish Lutherans,
merely but for all youth in this ter
ritory who appreciate sound prac-
tical education founded on Christian
principles. DR.. Bergin has developed
into a powerful speaker since he was
pastor here and his address was we'll
received.

and letters of congratulations and re-
grets on account of their inability to

Viking and other places, so that the
church was filled to the utmost at all
the exercises.
The church choir under the capable
and enthusiastic leadership Of Nels e.
Bystrom had been busy for months
practieing up special music for the
occasion and it rendered at freQunet
intervals, selections OF classical
church music, including several Of
the beautiful psalms of David by
Wennerberg, in a manner that could
not fail to inspire and lift the soul
heavenward.
The festivities began at 10000 a. IN.
on Sunday with Sunday school fes-
tival at the church. Instructive and
interesting talks to the children were
given by DR.. Alfred Bergin and DR..

by the regular morning service at
which Rev. G. G.. Gronberg and Rev.
X. Rosenthal ofticiated at the altar
as llturgists, and Rev. A Mattson

cal ideas and suggestions. He ex-
pressed pleasure at having the op-
portunity to visit again his former
congregation and was glad to note the
progress that had been made in
church work as well as in other
things during the past fifteen years.
He called attention to the great work
which the Lutheran church and par

church, is doing in this country, in
building churches, establishing high

hospitals and orphan asylums, and in
various other activities. The liber-

for this city and the entire North
west. He thanked God that He had
been permitted to see this day and tc
blend his joy with that Of the mem
bers of the congregation. He urged
them always to hold fast to the word
OF God and wished them Gods bless
ing in the future.

Of furniture in it, the same serving
as chair, as table on which they
ate their meals, as cupboard in
which to store their food, and also as
a writing desk for Mr.. Hasselquist.
These pioneers of the church wrought
with the enthusiasm of youth and an
indomitable will and with the ardent
love OF God and humanity in their
hearts. Churches and schools were
founded, the wilderness subdued, and
thousands of happy homes establish
ed. The work of the poor Swedish
emigrant has been a powerful factor
in the development of this country.
With gratitude to God for His kind
ness and mercy and with prayerful
solicitation for His guidance and help
in the future, the church looks for
ward to still greater conquests for
God and humanity in the years to
come.
The chorus sang another song and
then Rev. S. Udden, the first pastor
of the church, delivered the closing
address. He said he was glad and
thankful to be able to be present at
these festivities and rejoiced in his
heart that the humble beginning of
his work in Warren had grown and
succeeded in the measure that it had,
so that not only had the small con-
gregation been able to erect a hand
some church, but was also the nucle-
us and starting point of a higher in

dea s in the city, has added the store
roo = recently vacated by the Dream

and is using it almost exclusively as
display room for stoves and heaters

there is no more completely stocked
hardware store in the Northwest
than Mr.. Larson has right here in
Warren. He also has 25 years ex-
perience in the business, hence
knows it from A to z, and is there
fore able to tell goods that are hon.

spurious. All who deal with him
get the benefit of this experience. A
large tinshop is run in connection
with the store and is in charge of
competent workmen The grocery
department is also completely stock
ed with a choice line of groceries.
Courteous treatment and square deal
ing is extended to all customers. The

the Lutheran free church on Ameri-

Lutheran church in this country from
its humble beginnings way back in
the fifties to the present time was
vividly traced The hardships, suf-
ferings and self-denials Of Esbjorn,
Hasselquist and other founders, was
touchingly portrayed. When DR..
Hasselquist came to Galesburg, ILL.,,

lived with his young wife for months

to the upbuilding and support of these
institutions was commented upon,
and it has not made them poorer by
SO doing. By the grace of God the
Swedish Lutherans have been privi-
legged to do a work that blesses and
benefits not only them but our whole
nation.
The choir next rendered a song and
then Rev. E. @. Chelgren read a his
torical sketch of the Warren congre-
cation. The congregation was or
ganized by Rev. j. G. Lagerstrom on
Oct. is, 1881, exactly thirty years ago
that day, with the following charter
members: Peter Dalquist, Lars Dal-
quist, Elias Dalquist, Pehr Skog, G.
j. Johnson and John E. Ostrom. The
first officers were as follows: Trus-
tees-Peter Dalquist, c. J.. Johnson
and Elias Dalquist; Deacons G. j.
Johnson, Peter Dalquist and Lars
Dalquist.
In 1888 the congregation purchased
from the school district. the old
school house, small wooden build
ing now used as a warehouse by the
Peoples Trading Co., and moved it
the following year from the high
school grounds to the site of the
present church, where it was used as
a church for many years. The pres
Fent handsome church was built in
1900 and 1901, during the pastorate
Of Rev. A. Mattson, the corner stone
being laid with imposing ceremonies
Aug. Is, 1900. The parsonage was
built in 1892.
During it's thirty years existence
the congregation has, for longer or
shorter periods, been served by sly
pastors as follows: Rev. s.. Udden,
now of Grantsburg, Wis; Rev. N. j..
Sture, now of Melrose, Oregon; Rev.
Q. S. Werner, now practicing medi-
cine at Center City, Mimi; DR.. Alfred
Bergin, now pastor at Lindsborg,
Kan; Rev. A Mattson, now of Aaex
andria, Mimi; Rev. j. A. Mattson,
now Of Iowa, and the present pastor,
Rev. E. o Chelgren.
Rev. Chelgren also read letter
from Rev. N. J. Sture, of Melrose, Or
egon, regretting his inability to be
present and congratulating the con-
gregation on this festive occasion.
After another song by the choir,
Rev. A. Mattson, who has the distinc-
ton of having served as pastor here
during longer period than any of
the others, spoke with much feeling
and force about his work as pastor
in the church. 1t was bold as we'll
as risky undertaking, said he, for a
small congregation of only about fifty
communicates, to begin the erection
of SO large and costly church edi-
flee. But by united work the feat
was accomplished. He was glad to
be present at this celebration.
The choir sang another song and
then Dr. Andreen delivered master
ly address in English In words of
burning eloquence he traced the his
tory of the church from the rise of
Professionalism in the middle ages to
| the present day. He spoke Of the
spread of professionalism in central

AAAO0S WI
cises.
DR.. Gustav Andreen, President Of
College and Theological
Seminary at Rock Island, ILL.,, was
next introduced, attired in his full
costume indicative of scholarship,
the cape and gown of the Doctors de-
gree. He delivered an eloquent and
inspiring address or sermon, choosing
as his text a passage of Scripture, Q
Kings 6:1-7. AS the sons of the pro-
phets, or students, had gone to Elisha
their teacher, and complained that
their school quarters were too small
and asked his permission to go down
to the Jordan and chop down trees
to be used in erecting, larger build
ings, likewise North Star College has
'outgrown the temporary quarters
kindly furnished by the citizens Of
Warren and has commenced the erec-
ton of this beautiful college building
in order that the young people COM
ing here to receive instruction may
be accommodated and also that the
work of the school may be accom-
plished in the best possible manner.
AS the young men went to work with
ak in hand telling the trees, each
one carrying his beam to the larger
structure, likewise should every
friend Of North Star College carry a
beam and do what he can for the up
building of this institution. The ak,
said the speaker, and also the plow,
had in all times been mighty lnstru-
ments for blazing the way of civiliza-
ton and progress. The speaker
said he had been in portions of Wis
consin, Indiana, Ohio and other states
where every foot of cultivated ground
had been reclaimed from the forests
primeval by means of the ak. 1t
takes energy, industry and the enthu-
siasm of youth to accomplish these
results. We stand responsible for
the success Of the institution now
building upon these plains. Let this
building be erected to the glory and
honor of God and the general good of
humanity and may it stand as mon
ument of the devotion of its founders
and friends to the cause of Christian
education After reading several
passages of Scripture, the corner
stone was laid In little sealed tin
box had been enclosed copy of the
articles of incorporation of North
Star College, copies of the Warren
sheaf and Warren Register, several
coins of 1911 date, and a few other
articles of historical value. When
the stone had been firmly placed in
the wall, DR.. Andreen declared the
North Star College building dedicated
to the uses and purposes intended, in
the name of the Father, the Son and
the Holy Ghost.
! DR.. Alfred Bergin was introduced
as one coming from the seat of the
largest Swedish Lutheran Institution
of learning in this country, namely
Bethany College at Lindsborg, Kan.
He made very interesting address
in Swedish. He said that Lindsborg
was but a small prairie town, only
t trifle larger than Warren, but that
Bethany college had made the town
famous all over this country as we'll
as in other lands. The rendering Of
the Messiah by aschorus Of five hun
dred to six hundred voices, an annu-
al feature in connection with the clos
ing Of the school year, had helped to
make Lindsborg known Is The same
opportunities and possibilities, even
in greater measure, are to be found
in Warren. The people Of Lindsborg
