 yet. 21, 1925.

My dearly bel ed

I am going to send you a
little typew ‘a passage tonight. It is late and
I must retirel rill. ”0 et some rest, which I must
have nou that r the up ea1' ly in the IOvﬂlﬂx.

ed to be back to vorh, doing
the things that GOHrtl“ s be003e hundru when one
keeps it up for a time, but it really seemed like
fun today, even ho it was a little hard to get used
to the typ writer, not to say anything about the h:an
who dictates. I don't want to say anything against
him, because he surely is nice, only he gets up and
walks around while he is dictating and has a pipe
stuck in the corner of his 3outh, which of course,
makes it somewhat difficult to undlhstand everyttin
he says. but he's not halt bad.

And the big, important looking lady with
Who3 I am to work, did not seem half so t;rrible as
she did \Vd en I rirst say he r. The thin little sten-
ogra xphe -r, dhom I am supposed to help, felt quite put
out toda because I we.s given so much dictation. Qhat
is the,ve ry re eson I'3 there for, to relieve her of
some of her \tcrh, as they have seen that she has been
working too hard, and today she didn't like it at all.
In fact, I saw traces of her having cried about it. That
made me feel disappointed, becauSe I surely do not want
to hurt any ones feelings, but I hope she will get over
it and see that they mean it Ior her own good. If she
doesn't feel differently about it, I don't hnow if I
went to stay. Othertise I liked it very well as every-
one seemed very nice.

I have walked so much today that I am quite
tired and tonight I was at church. It was the last
service at which Clarence Helson preached. The whole
dounstairs was crowded aid there were even a few p;ohle
upstairs. Sven tonight the Spirit of God was in the
midst of th~ meeting and shone to many hearts and quite
a number of them gave themselves to Christ. Oh, it is
wonderful to see the changes that have come into the
lives of some of our young folks. It is a glorious

 hv dearest David:

Many thanks for your letter and for
the sermon which you so kindly sent me. I shall re~
turn the sermon tom rrow. I really like this sermon
best of any that you have sent me so far. I can't
say just what it is that I like about it, but it up

much to me. There are a number of though
ei‘ Ss€_ in it that I have never heard before, ' ‘
were very int restirg.

I have talked about five or s'x miles today.
was able to we h home and have my lunch and then back
again in plenty of time this noon; Khan I ed hone
this evening. I don't like to ride the stre
and it doesn't take so very much longer to W
too, I get some very much needed exercise
and it gives me a good appetite. Tomorrow
half a day which will be just fine.

u minutes time to stare

at work, I use uﬂ

ﬁheneve
cohy, some of the latest sun

r I have a £6

cm to practise typing and I use as my
day school times articles.

In this may I feel that I am improvin? the moments thct

would otherwise slit by and I have read some very inter—

esting articles which I might not have read otherwise.

I did not go to church m'g" 'r“‘T as no
one else was going from our house and ; already done
so much palhing that I decided to stay ;* N u ;ev.
dlmen came back from Chicago for these artitional ,
ings. Next Sunday Rev. Frykman's success=r at Lausau
is going to preach in the afternoon and e suing.

Thanh you for letting me read Rev. Nelson‘s
letter. I am returning it herewith. am sorry I kept
your other sermon so as to cause you to worry about it.

Lovingly
Your own

Min élskade David;

V H Det blev inte utav att jag skrev nﬁgot brev i gér
kvall fer jag kande mig ganska trott. Jag f6rsbkte att sy .
lite men det gick inte sa bra och sa gick jag till bédd istéllet.

I dag er det kallt igen. Vinden blaste sé kallt och
den kom ifrén norr sa det nastan sved om nésa och oron nar jag
gick till arbete pa morgonen.

I gér vid middagen sydde jag en stund pé mammas present
och jag tror att den kommer att bli fin.” Det er rétt sé noga ar-
bete men det gar lite isander, och jag tanker att jag nog skall
fé den fardig.

Jag inneslnter Exercise II. harmed,_och jag tycker verk-
ligen att du g6r utmarkt bra. Hall bara p5 sa blir du en riktig
Aperikanare till slut. Jag har rattat det som var fel och skrivit
nagra anmérkningar. (Kanhénda jag borde Sega "gjort négra anmark-
ningar.") Jag tycker att det var en utmérkt bra ide att du bérjat
studera engelska och det er riktigt roligt att fh gore det lilla

jag ken att'hjélpa dig.

v1 har union mote tillsammans med Fri, Baptist och Meto—
dist kyrkorna. Ténker att jag gar med i kvsll om det inte er for
kallt. Pastor Elmer Johnson fran fri-kyrkan skall predika i vér
kyrka. l morgon kvsll ar mOtet i Metodist kyrkan och vér pastor
predikar.

Jeg just ség i tidningen i gar kvall att Fri kyrkan émnar
bygga ett sendagsskolrum som skall kosta $55,000.00 och det.skall
vgra férdigt i sommar 11%,an gang. Det skall bll ett annex Just
vaster om kyrkan.

Tack for artiklen om Dr. Hedin. Den var mycket intres-

sant och jag skulle gerna ha varit med 1 N.P.0. forﬂett horaghonom.
I fall han kommer till Rockford, och det ar Visst mogllgt, sa hop-

es jag att fa tillfélle att hora honom. I believe Rev, Gust F.
Sohnson was eclipsed that day at N.P. and hardly appreciated as

he would have been otherwise.

, Nu har jag just ingenting mera att skriva cm for denna
gang utan fér sluts med en innerligt varm halsning.

Min amt alskade David;

Tack far ditt kara brev. Jag skall garna gora
som du vill med att korrigera Gina oversattningar pa ditt
papper istéllet f6r att skriva pa ett sarskilt papper. len
d§ undrar Jag om du ville lamna en extra rad emellan satserna.
sa blir det lattare att skriva dit vad som kanhanda behévs.

Jag skall med stbrsta gladje géra tva avskrifter
av dina senaste predikningar sa snart de komma till hands.
Antalet avskrifter som man kan gala beror pa pappert och p5
"carbon" papperet s0m man begagnar men Jag ar séker pa att
avskrifterna nog blir sa pass bra att de kunna lasas tydligt.

l dag har vi fatt en skbn vérdag mea fagelsang och

solsken. Det ar bra mycket varmare an det varit och det ser
nastan ut som om vi antligen skulle fa var an en gang

I gar kvall voro nagra stycken av mina flicker sam—
1aae. Vi hade en trevlig stund da vi laste a var Bibel institut
laxaa sJongo sanger och till slut b§do vi, pa vars knan. Jag
ar sa glad bver mina flickor, och sJalv kanner jag mig som en
utav dem. De borJar pa att hinna fatt mig tyeker jag. De arc
sJutton’ arton och nitton ar gamla och Jag kanner mig inte sa
mycket aldre an det.

I kvall ska vi ha lite hdgtidligt for mammas foﬂelse-
dag. Och senare pa kvallen ska vi ga och hbra Miss E133 Brandstrom,
som du nog last om i tidningarna, och som kallas "Sibiriens Angel”
Hon kommer att tala i Rockford’s storsta kyrka och det kommer nog
att bliva intressant att fa h5ra vad hon har att saga.

Detta blir allt just nu. Aanhanda Jag skriver senare
i dag och omtalar vad jag hbrt omtalas om Sibirien.

“ M5 85 gott, min alskade. HOppas att du far en hérlig
sondag.

 limbs Brandstrom fliells of “Fork in Rus-
' slain Prison Chums—«Supports Or-
phanage and Labor Sanitariums.

Miss Elsa. Brandstrom made a poig-
nant appeal to 11, large audience at Sec-
ond Congregational church Friday eve-
;ning for work which she is doing
lameng the prisoners of war whose
11v es were shattered by the hardships
gof. the Siberian pxison camps.

Her appeal was answered generou sly
Ebv those who had heard her trag c
:stozy of the almost unbelievable suf-
fering of those held by the Russians,
‘1 in a land bitterly cold unrelieved by all
but the barest necessities of: 11 :1.

. Approximately $1,2 wens glv en by
Ethe audience, every cent of which goes
1to the establishment of an orphanage
Iin connection with two labor sanitar-
iums already under Miss Brandstmm’ s
guidance. Nothing is- taken for over-
head, organization 01 expenses, the
speaker paying all cost of her lecture
,1 tour herself.

Lived in Pehogl‘tuii.

Mliss Branclstv om was living in Petro-

g1 ad with her father, the Swedish min-
‘ ister to Russia at the outbreak of the
lwar. She immediately engaged herself
1in war work. continuing from 1914 to
1 1920.1-Ier addl ess he1e was a. brief out-
.1 line of her experienc 5 during t

time. After pas'sin 9 Russian
, Cross examine. lons she left for Sibe a
i in 1915.
1 In Siberia. Miss Brandstrom and her

party found soldiex s, despeiately ill,
”with vacant barns as the only room
;available for hospital. Thele was no
{bedding no hospitalsupplies, and often
i11o clothing. She was instrumental in
lobtaining the use of a ba1 racks, caused
’the making of straw math esses and pil-
ﬂows and supplied each patient with two
blankets.

Other instances of the horrors of. the
’ prison camps and the unbearable suf-
ferings which thesoldiers were forced
to undergo, although, Miss Brandstrom
declared, the Russians were not inten-
tionally cruel, ‘were told with a. Simple »
directness that gave them lasting force.

After the War 600,000.}1risoners-had
died, 'Miss Brandstrom declared, and
thousands 011- others. broken in body and
spirit, had returned to their homes, help-
less burdens ontheir already overbur-
dened families. .

Gave Therm “Vork. ‘

“To help them forget this nightmare,"
Miss Brandstrom continued, "is to put
them to Wor.k ” She told of how she
had established two labor ssnlta1 iums
for ofﬁcers and soldiers where they are
provided with useful occupation which
they are able to do. The orphanage
‘for which the money collected Friday
evening will be used, is in connection
iwith these sanitariums. Two dollms
will keep a. child at the orphanage for
a. month.
, Miss Brandstrom was introduced'hy
Arthur Rnhl. with Whom she was ac-
quainted in Russia. After her address
Nudge R. K. Welsh spoke brieﬂy on the
}prlvilege of hearing her, and uiged the
'audienoe‘ to -: .- nd .enerouslv. »
