The lecture given Friday evening

the speaker was accorded close at

was life ideals and much was covered
in the hours discourse. Besides be-
ing fluent speaker Rev. Blichfeldt is
a deep thinker and also a practical
man. He gives food for thought and
does not make repetitions. Following
the lecture refreshments were enjoyed
in the basement of the church where
Rev. Blichfeldt spoke briefly again.
He conveyed greetings from the peo-
pie of Denmark to the Danes here
and Rev. O. H. Dyreborg asked him

country. Rev. Blichfeldt is accom-
panied by his wife on the American
