WORTHY TO RANK AS NATION
Finland Has Right to Be Welcomed

Its Great National Epic.

Finland of to-day is a prosperous
and rapidly developing country, inhab-

farming has become one Of the most
important industries. 1t is more profit
able than the raising of grains be-
cause of the uncertainty of the sea-
sons. There is absolutely no reason
why the republic of Finland should
not be a success, if left undisturbed
by more powerful and ambitious neigh
bors. The people are intelligent, demo-
cratic and frugal, and have had enough
experience in self-government to be or
great help in solving the various per-
picking problems that are sure to arise
There is no logical reason why tney
should be subjects of Slavic Russia.
Hence the republic of Finland shouio
be welcomed among nations OF the
world.
We are indebted to Finnish htera-
ture for the inspiration Of one or our
great poems by one of our sweetest
singers, Nevin o. Winter writes In the
Christian Herald. Without written
literature, there was handed down
from father to son for many genera
tiOns in Finland Il great national epic.
In the long winter evenings the singers
sat beside the flaming pine logs ana
there sang snatches from this epic.
Finally there appeared one Elias
Lonnrot, simple country physician
who travelled over the country and col
Iected this unwritten epic from the
memories of hundreds of these singers.
He called the collection the KaleVala
and it was first published In 1880.
Longfellow copied the style In MS
"Hiawatha."
