24 THE ACORN We wish to pay a high compliment to the author of the essay found in the Oracle entitled, “A Plea for Womanhood. ' We extend a hearty welcome to the “Owl,” Frcdcricktown, 0. It is in all ways a first class paper, but the school like the one it represents ought to be capable of sending it out once a month. According to the will of Charles Bots-ford. any Christian young man in Idaho or North Dakota, who will agree never to touch intoxicating liquor, tobacco in any form, or other narcotics, will have his full college expenses paid either at Fargo College. N. D., or at the Idaho Industrial Institute.—Ex. I thought I’d drop in and tell you what your hair-restorer did for a friend of mine ’ said the visitor. “When he started using your hair elixir there were only a few hairs on his head, but now it is completely covered.” ‘•Indeed?” exclaimed the patent medicine man. Yes, by six'feet of earth.” Teacher: “Tommy, next time you are late, bring an excuse from your father.” Tommy: “Who? Father? Why, he ain't no good at excuses, Ma always finds him out.” Lest you forget, and feel regret. Seek first the right and for it fight. Then for thee will spring the light Fraught with purer, clearer vision Of the triumph of true delight. SWEDISH DEPARTMENT BA PTI STERN AS MISSION I SVERIGE. Adolf Olson 10. Ett djupt andligt morker vilade over Sverige vid medlet av forra Arhundradet, som n ra nog kan jamfdras med den dystra natt, som vid Luthers framtradande bredde sin svarta sloja over kristendomens v rld. Morkret borjade dock s sm ningom att forsvinna och sakra teeken till en annal-kande dag forspordes bar och dar. Manga vaknade upp, sokte Gud ocli kommo till sinncsandrir.g och fro. Dessa samlades, trots forfoljelse frAn de andliga myndigke-terna, i iiemmen, laste Cuds ord, sjongo slna trosfriska singer samt frojdades i Guds barns harliga frihet. For deras ogon hangde likval en sloja, som gjorde, att de ej iinnu kunde urskilja skriftens lara ang -ende dop och forsamlingsgemenskap.

Det var da. med dodens fruktan i sitt inre, som en ung man, sven-sken Fredrik Olaus Nilson, kastade Tomas Paines otrosskrift, “Fornuftets Tidcvarf,” som forut varit bans lcktvr, over bord och anropade den evige om n d och barmhar-tlghet.

TH E ACORN 23 Miss Haglund, 09, the little miss with the winsome way, has not as yet struck her calling. Dr. C. G. Johnson, ’09, has finished his first year at the University of Chicago. His greatest achievement during the past year has been the raising of a mustache. i Miss Clara Granbeck, ’09, at present with the West Publishing Co., will soon write a book on some interesting subject. Andrew Erickson, ’09, very studious and very bashful. Hits the nail on the head and sometimes his thumb. Is a whirlwind carpenter and an expert photographer. P. Hedblom, ’09, he of the quiet and studious nature, will send in a bid for the construction of the New Minneapolis post office, which will be his greatest work up to date. N. Soneson, '09, the man who likes Latin and Hebrew, is now finishing his first year at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Ky. He will not take his B. D. this year. C. G. Tideman, ’08, who is finishing his second year at college in bed, would rather fish than eat. Has as yet done nothing worthy of note. Goes out to the country Sundays to keep himself out of trouble. We admire the Bethany Messenger, for the true Swedish spirit, which is revealed in it. The Life and Character of Cicero as Revealed in His Letters” in- the Volante is an interesting as well as an instructive article. We missed the exchange department in The Ray. Was it crowded out for more important matters? The Spud contains an excellent production entitled “The Lost Colony.” It should be the duty of the exchange editor to know, what exchanges he receives during the month, and not only what he may find on the exchange table at the end of the month. The Joshua Palm, Goldfield. Nev., is a neat little paper. You will always be received with a hearty welcome. The Criterion contains several good and interesting stories. My Trip to the North Pole” and The Autobiography of a Potato” deserves special notice. They are well worked out plots and show a great deal of work on the part of the authors. Resolutions of Condolence over a schoolmate or someone else should be given a place separate from the jokes, and not on the same page. Otherwise it will be deprived of its effectiveness and bring about a feeling that it was all a joke. We are glad to receive The Bulletin, Montclair, N. J. It is a paper o£ the highest rank.

THE ACORN 25 Kattogats vigor nara Goteborg fern lyek-liggjorda sjalar, vilka tillsammans med b 0. Nilson don fbljande dagen bildade den forsta baptistfbrsamliugen i Sverige. Dessa syskon, som sokte vandra i lydnad for Gud, blevo utsatta for sv ra forfoljel-ser. Vid ett visst tillfalle, di Nilson var pi bosok hos en troende broder i Eltsborgs Ian, inbrttt under motets ging en skara man, bevapnade med klubbor, pistolcr, ro-stiga svard, pfikar och muskoter. De bor-jade sli och sparka den. varnldse Herrens fjanare, och under eder och forbannelser forde de honom i den smallkalla vintern bort till ett fangelse flera mil d rifr n, och dar blev han inkastad i en cell med en stinkande hog av halm att Vila p . Tiligt fordrog han denna barbariska bell and ling, utan ett ord av klagan. Snart bdrjade dock niyndlglieterna att ingripa. Den 11 februa-ri, 1S50, blev F. O. Nilson instamd att in-for Cota hovratt i Jonkoping svara i sitt mil for utspridande av villfarande lira, lifter en ling ratteging och efter att aven ha lr. limn at sin nidesansokan till konun-gen, mftste den gudfruktige baptistpredikan-ten sisom landsflyktig limna sitt fosterland. Men, “martyrernas blod var kyrkans utsade,” liar nigon sagt. och ur sjilva for-foljelsen ledde Herren sitt verk till seger. Rattegingshandlingarna, daribland Nilsons forsvarstal. trycktes i tidningarna, och pi si satt blev bnptisternas lira i ett enda nn slungat ut over hela landet, och tusen-tals slumrande hjartan vackta till liv. Snart bdrjade afven en och annan af de kristna i huvudstaden skaka av sig inro-tade fdrdomar och manniskobud. En stats-kyrkoprast, Andrew Wiberg. som bdrjade tvivla pi denna kyrkas aktliet, reste over till Danmark och doptes i ostcrsjdn natten mellan den 23 och 21 juli, 1852. Rorelsen spred sig allt mer och mer. Det ljus, som fordom uppgick for dem. som sutto i mdrker, kastade sina klara strilar over en stor del av Sverigcs landamaren. Bland andra forkampar mi har namnas D. Forsell och P. F. Hejdenberg. som blevo dopta i Hamburg ftr 1854. 1 maj minad samma ir agde den forsta dopfdrrattniug i Stockholm rum vid en plats kallad Hast-liolmen. Si var det verk borjat i Sveriges huvudstad, som i dag bar nitt en sidan utstrickning. 1 Dalarna hade nigra ir fdrut en kraflig andllg rdrelse uppstitt. Pi sommaren, 1854, kom Hejdenberg upp till Orsa och predikade ett nyatestamentligt evangelium for oppna hjartan samt dopte 20 lycklig-gjorda sjalar, vilka bildade den forsta bap-tistfdrsamlingen i Dalarna den 6 juni, 1854. Det goda verket gick framfit, si att efter sex ir funnos i Dalarna 6 forsamlingar med ett medlemsantal av 810 personer. Men fienden. kunde ej ostord ise en sidan rramging inoni Guds like. Piasterna tilli-ka med deras undersitar reste sig till mot-st nd. Hcla lass av de s. k. lasarna fordes till lansfangelserna i Falun. Vesteris och andra platser. Under allt detta behollo de dock frttjden I Gud och sjongo pa sjilva vagen till fangelset: “Du omma Faders- hjarta, som vakar over mig, Hur skall jag kunna alska, hur kunna lova dig?” Folket lyssnade med forvining till singen och viitnesborden frftn detta underbara ressall-skap, och m ngen sjal kom darigenom till en levnndc tro pi Gud. Om vi hade tillfalle foretaga en resa upp till Orsa i Dalarna och fi ett samtal med de numera ildriga veteranerna Nis Per Person och Dordlofva Erik Erson, si skulle vi fi veta, att de tillika med mfinga av deras medsy-skon flera ginger suttit i fangelse pi vat-ten och hrod. den senare en ging pi 28 dygn. vilket ruinerade bans h lsa for hela livet. Det fdljande irct, eller 1S55, organiscra- les den forsta baptistforsamlingen i Norr-land, den i Sundsvall. som sedan blev en ufgftngspunkt for verksamheten i norra Sverige. Den trosfriske dalamannen Nas Per Person tillbringade vintern 1859 inom norra polcirkeln med det resultat, att ska-ror folio som segerbyte till Mastarens fot-ter. och den ena forsamlingen efter den
