campaign-was born on little island
five miles off the coast Of Bergen,
Norway, in the North sea.
There was an air of romance and
sentiment about the little island. al
though Mr.. Lillenas didn't know it at
the time and he left the scenes of his
nativity too soon after his birth to find
It out But the air Of the island, new
ertheless, probably had worlds and
worlds to do with his later life. For
he became a writer Of gospel hymns,
revival songs, dreamy, happy songs.
And in credit to him, let it be said,
most Of them were successful ones.
The city Of Bergen was partially
destroyed by fire recently and many
of the old landmarks so familiar to the
elder Iillenas thirty years ago, were
wiped out But the atmosphere Of the
little island in the North sea he
brought with him to America, and the
stories Of it, narrated to his son in
later years, have made their impress
sion.

part of his life" He loves it, He de-
ponds upon inspiration and perspira-
ton" Especially the latter he
said, smiling. He requires from a
half hour to two hours to write a
song-both the words and the music.
Some Of the greatest songs he has
written were composed in less than
an hour.
He wrote his first successful song
nine years ago. The title was He
Set Me Free" The first stanza Is

Praises Ladies' Aid.

Somebody once said, You can't
run a church on the Ladies' Aid and
Lemonade But who is it that puts a
new carpet in the church, shingles
the roof, pays the interest on the
church debt and buys the hymn
books? It's the Ladies' Aid and
thank God that they are on the job
in the church.
