Encouraging reports of the work OF
the Swedish Baptist churches were
given ut the conference being held at
Cambridge. Mimi. this week. Last
years was the most prosperous of any
previous years work I'm the state, and
much more money was raised for all
purposes than on the preceding year.
Nearly 1000 members were added to
the Swedish Baptist churches during
that time.
Rev. q. A. Hagstrom, ID. d., presi-
dent OF the conference reported that
the Swedish Baptist schools I'm st.
Paul, the Bethel academy and semi
nary, are in a very good condition
with bright outlook for their future.
The seminary building erected last
year cost $4,000. which has all been
paid with the exception of $4,000
debt. The former building of the
Bethel academy, which was much too
small, has been sold, and a new one
Is being built, which will cost SOS 600.
The academy started ten years ago
with only a few students, and las,
year enrolled 100 students. Next fall
when the school starts again a much
larger number is expected to enroll.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
I'VE would appeal to the public at
large, and school board, and law max
ers especially. that they use every eff
fort and influence to have the Bible
read regularly i'm public schools.
County Option Law.
Whereas, we now have a county
option law, by which II is made pos
sible to vote dry county after county
and thereby take away the saloons,
which We Judge to be for state and
county the greatest source of evil, and
as the anti-saloon league has been the
direct means by which this law was
put on the statute books:
BE II resolved. that we recommend
to the members of our churches to. by
every lawful means, help and sup
port the said organization I'm its eff
forts to free Minnesota of the liquor
traffic"
The treasurer reported $1,000 moro
in the treasury than last year. Thurs
day evening the conference was ad-
dressed by Miss Lottie Erickson of
st. Paul, who represented the ladies'
home mission work, and Miss Esther
Lindberg gave talk on the foreign
