A literary critic in the Springfield
(Mass) Republican says that the day
of the Morse Vikings has returned
and the civilized world is again being
invaded by the men from the North
men armed with the pen, instead of
the sword, spear or battleaxe Con-
tinuing the Republican says: Chose
stirring times when Hengest and Hor-
ga made the beginnings of Anglo
Saxon rule in Britain; when Canute
with his fresh bands of invaders laid
hold on the land--all that picturesque
day of the Vikings in their high
proved ships is come again. To be
sure, the modern Viking appears in a
more peaceful guise; his weapon is
the pen and not the sword; but there
are similarities none the less. The
names Of the invaders are Ibsen,
Bjornson, Brandes and Strindberg.
Like their ancient kindred they have
come from ruder shores, bringing
with them fresh strength to invigor-
ate older civilization. Like the an
Gent seamen, too, they have strange
stories to tell, and kind of fierceness
at heart that strikes terror and Gre
ates tragedy They have sailed into
the heart of Germany, they have raw
aged France, they have discovered
America, and like their fathers are
becoming absorbed by the civilization
they have entered, giving to the old
new blood and the spirit of fresh en-
terprise."
Within the next two years the Unit
ed Norwegian church of the United
States, which consists of 170,088 COM
municant members, proposes to raise
million dollars as jubilee fund to
commemorate the tWenty-fifth ami
versary of the organization of that
growing body, which now has SCI min
listers and 1,5O4 congregations The
history of the church will be put into
black and white by the pen of the VEN
cradle president, Rev. T. H. Dahl.
''These mighty Lutheran streams,
says the Lutheran, a prominent
have crossed the seas and are pour
ing such a religious force into Amer
lea, when they have blended into one
great Lutheran church of America
will, like the great Amazon in breadth,
volume and force, excel them all.
Germans and Swedes, as we'll as Nor
wegians, are planning and giving in
hofO
English Lutherans must get larger
vision and catch the time of the quick
step of Lutheran progressiveness."

Captain Road Amundsen, the hero
of the South pole, has returned to his
native land and received most hos
pitable reception. His return to Chris.

quite unannounced and did not give
