AMERICA’S GREATEST CIGARETTE Dr. and Mrs. Ohman Receive Q Many Gifts Thd silver anniversarv of Rev. Dr. and Mrs|. Sven G. Ohrgin was cel- ebrated at the Swedish Lutheran church on Franklin Square last eve- ning with a large crowd of parishion- ers and friends of the happy couple. Dr. and Mrs. Ohman were married on Sept. 24, 1890, in Elgin, Illinois- The church was prettyily decorated for the occasion, the principal feoture Leing a huge banner draped between the two pillarn flanked on one side by the Stars and Stripes and on the other by the Swedish flag. At 8:6 the organ bLegan to peal forth the wedding march which was played at the wedding of the couple Just 25 yeaws ago- The center doors swung open and a procession entered the church in the foilowing order: Decon S. J. Swenson and Otto Beng- ston, a trustee of the c'yairch and chairman of the program committee; Rev. Dr. S. G. Youngert of Hartford and Rev. Elias E. Anderson of Middletown; Dr. and Mrs. Ohman and two sons, Filmore and George- Keynote of the Fvening. The program opened with a hymn by the congregation, followed by a prayer, offered by Rev. C. E. An- derson. Deacon Swenson made a few remarks in which the keynote of the evening, congratulations and lauda- tions, was sounded. The Arpi Sex- ‘tette sang in a pleasing manner- Rev. J. Herman Olsson of the Lutheran Zion church, Waterbury then deliver- ed the following address: Rev. J- Herman Olsson’s Speech. “Our honorable guests: Dr. and Mrs. Ohman: members and friends of the Maria church. “We have assembled here this eve- ning to offer our kind and loving re- spects, together with hearty congrat- ulations, to our honorable guests, Dr. and Mrs. S. G. Ohman, on their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. “In celebrating an ocasion of this kind, it is natural to think, first of the past, then of the present an®then of the future: “Allow me then to bring your thoughts back a quarter of a century. “As we enter the home of a cer- tain Mr. and Mrs. Lethin, of Elgin, Illinois, on 'the 24th of September, 1890, the soft melodious strains of a wedding march reach our ears and soon we see a young bridal couple marching towards the waiting pastor, the venerable Dr, Olsson. As cere- mony proceeds we hear the solemn words: ‘“You promise to love and cherish each other ’till death do you part.” 2 “These are the solemn and im- pressive words which hallow every bridal, and which make them look forward to a clear and cloudless sky, with not even a single thin floating cloud to mar their future happiness, because ‘the opening life of lov% is all sunshine, and, as radiant as that hour appears all the future. “Years roll by, one after the other and perhaps all ‘the happy epecta- tions for the future, have not fully materialized; but where the rude ex- perience of the world has not been allowed to' blunt the sensibility; where avarice has not frozen the hearts, nor selfishness checked the flow of gen- erous affections,—there life is love and love is life- “Beautifu as anytfiing may be, the love that stands the test of a life-time and that lingers to illumine its sun- set sky, and to gild it with a heavenly radiance is still more beautiful. “Here, before us tonight, we have our friends Dr. and Mrs. Ohman,— “We cannot say ‘the aged pair,’ al- though they have been married twenty-five years. They . look quite young to me as yet; but a quarter of a century has been more than suffi- cient to test the fidelity of their love tor each other, and now, during this evening hour of celebration, in the full confidence of their affection, we congratulate them to a just as happy —and, if possible to a still happier future. ° “For twenty years they have toiled and struggled together with you for the betterment of this community, for the uplift of humanity and for the eternal welfare of your souls. “Your beloved pastor has. never during this time assured a position of superiority, as if he were above you; he has never stood aloof from you, as if he had no common interests with you. On the contrary, I know that he has felt, and led you people to feel that he is one with you in heart, in sympathy and in those grand inter- ests of the soul which bind men to- gether the closest of all. “Often you will hear people who are constantly depreciating others and speaking of one another in the most derogatory terms; but every time that I have heard your beloved pastor speak of you as individuals or as a congregation it has alwavs been with » deeply cherished affection for you one and all. And the same can be said of you both as individuals and as o congregation, because I know that this cherished and deep-rooted love ig mutual. = “His heart and interest is ’with you, and T am sure you have seen nothing of vour beloved pastor but that it has pleased you and you have profited thereby, because your wel- fare is his innermost joy. ‘“He has gained your full confidence and high esteem, and especially yours to whom he has ministered in the gospel; and I do not wonder at all, that he has retained your confidence and esteem, because he is worthy of it. “He has built up for himself a char- acter which each and every one of you can trust, because the dutles which devolve upon him are conscien- tiously and faithfully discharged. “I am sure that you will unite with me in paying your beloved pastor the high tribute, when I say, that his life . 1its .relations ‘is one of general’ integrity. “He studies and administers con- stant acts of kindness to you, and is true to you as well in your absence as in your presence, because his affec- tion for you is not merely assumed or professed, but genuine. He has gained your confldence, and you have gained his confidence; this also you have in common; this also is mutual. “Christian action is naturally in- dividual, and therefore you all have cpportunities to do your share of the work in assisting your pastor; but Christian action must not be indi- vidual action only. It is primarily in- dividual, but must Become in the next place social, so that you work to- gether as one living and organic unity. “Your pastor as a true minister aims at high ideals, and seeks for im- material and imperishable blassings, instead of pursuing material, temporal and earthly advantages, therefore my sincere hope is, that you will daily in- crease your labors and thus more and more exhibit the unity of the body of Christ. “I am very glad to notice that you as a congregation occasionally strew flowers on your pastor’s, many a time troublesome and stony path, and that you do this not as a payment for the work he has performed, but as an en- couragement for future activity and as an appreciation thereof. “I say that I rejoice in noticing that you do this while you still have him with you and that you do not, as many, wait until you gather to pay your last tribute to him—at the grave. ‘“Now you will perhaps wonder why I have confined my remarks to Dr. Obkman, and said so little of his rartner in life—his honorable wife. I believe it will suffice when I say, that Mrs. Ohman is a wife, a mother and a Christian mother, and that no man ever prospered in the world without the co-operation of his wife. “In conclusion allow me then to ex- tend to the honorable bridal couple, at this their twenty-fifth anniversary, my most sincere and hearty congratu- lations. “When you, my dear brother, as pastor, and when you, my dear friends as parishioners look back on the past iwenty years of combined labor and the struggles. you will, I am sure, all together exclaim: ‘Wonderous things hath God done with us in the past,’ and then—looking into the future— ‘The IL.ord is my Shephard, I shall not want.’ " Congratulatory Telegrams. At the conclusion of Mr. Olsson’s address, Conrad Hultberg read forty- seven telegrams from all over the country congratulating the guests of the evening. Herbert Anderson ren- dered a violin selection and Dr. E. T. Fromen read an original poem of fe- licitation, dedicated to Dr. and Mrs. Ohman. The next event on th pro- gram was a vocal solo by Rev. Carl D. Bastrom. Miss Clara Johnsen re- cited a poem in Swedish, after which Gustaf Modeen, in behalf of the United Swedish Temperance society presented Dr. and Mrs. Ohman with a handsome silver Yoving cup as a testimonial of the esteem in which that society holds them. Ex-Mayor Halloran Speaks. Ex-Mayor Joseph M. Halloran, a co-worker with Dr. Ohman in the Commercial Trust company and a warm personal friend delivered the following speech: “My part on the program of ex- ercises for this happy event is that of a warm personal friend of Dr. and Mrs. Ohman, called upon to felicitate and congratulate them on this joyful occasion. The privilege is a rare one and I assure you my friends is ap- preciated. Any silver jubilee is worthy of attenticn but this particu- lar one is deserving of extraordinary notice. “It is unusudl to find the'principals on an occasion like this in the prime of life. Dr. and Mrs. Ohman are to be congratulated on having passed the twenty-fifth milestone of wedded life and still retain their youthful vigor and activity. There are many things to which this can be attribut- ed and the lives of Dr. and Mrs. Oh- man present striking and splendid examples. In the first place there was that all important requisite, a happy marriage and peaceful home, sympathy and interest in each others lives, a life of hope and contentment and an interest in other people in the world around them. “These are facts well known to all of us as Dr. and Mrs. Ohman are not strangers having spent twenty of their twenty-five years of married life in this city. Their children now living were born in this city, raised and ed- ucated with your children. In spend- ing these twenty vears in our midst Dr. and Mrs. Ohman have made many sacrifices, many times at a financial loss to themselves. To my knowledge Dr. Ohman has received many lucra- tive calls from cities extending from coast to coast, but he has declined them all because his interest in the welfare and love for his people in this city. “The effect of this love and inter- est is shown when we realize that the number of communicants in this con- gregation has increased from 300, which was the number when he began 'his labors to the present number of over 1,200 communicants. When Dr. Ohman began his labors, services were being conducted in a wooden structure on Elm street. Under Dr. Ohman’s faithful guidance his people have been able to erect this beautiful edifice, & monument to his work, =a In the Bath Before retir- ing, use with warm water and insure a restful night.

It is plain- ly evident that Dr. and Mrs. Ohman are loved by the members of this church, but others outside the con gregation are interested in their wel- fare and many manifest their deep. regard for them by their Dresence here this evening. Dr. Ohman’s co-workers in promot- ing and organizing the Commercial Trust company have sent a token of remembrance and appreciation and it is now my pleasant privilege to pre- sent it and with it the hope of a long career of increasing happiness, higher honors, and strengthened pow- ers of sympathy and love.” As he said the closing words Ex- Mayor Halloran presented Dr. Ohman with a silver coffee urn, the gift of the directors of the Commercial Trust company. Dr. Youngert’s Address, After the Arpi Sextette had ren- dered another selection Rev. Dr. S. G. Youngert of Hartford spoke in Swedish and said that he and Dr. Oh- man were schoolmates in Sweden, thirty years ago and that he knew Dr. Ohman earlier than anyone else ex- cept his brothers and sisters. He re- counted some early school exper- iences. Dr. Ohman left the old fata- erland before he did and they were separated, but only for a year, as twenty-nine years ago they met and have continued their friendship. “There is no need to express well wishes for you are always happy, but I do congratulate the happy couple because of the blessing they have re- ceived in the church and community,” asserted the speaker. His own senti- ments are admirably presented in the 128th Psalm of David. Dr. Youngert here presented Dr. Ohman with 2 purse and expressed himgelf thus: “In behalf of the congregation and friends I hand to you some silver and hope that you will live long enough to celebrate your golden wedding in New Britain.” Remarks were made by various representatives of the New England conference and each presented the happy couple with a silver gift. Rev. J. Herman Olson gave a solo. Dr. Ohman expressed his heartiest thanks to all who had joined in cel- ebrating the anniversary. He said that his appreciation could be best shown by the statement that if he could re- turn to twenty-five years ago, ' he would live the same life over. The participants then adjourned to the basement, where a luncheon was served by the ladies of the church. Sketch Of Dr. Ohman’s Life. Rev. 8. G. Ohman was born. in Sweden and attended the public schools in that eountry before coming to America thirty-two years ago. Im- mediately after his arrival he entered Augustana college in Rock Island, Illinois, from which he graduated in 1886 with the degree of A. B.. He then entered the -Theolagical Semi- nary connected with that institu- tion and received the degree of D. D. in 1888. He was ordained to the ministry on June 24 of the same year and immediately assumed his first pastorate at a Rockford, Illinais, church. He remained there for six years, at the expiration of which he had increased the membership: of the church from 200 to 1,000. During the following year he was super- intendent of the Augustana hospital in Chicago, which is under the con- trol of the Illinois Conference of the Lutheran Synod of America. Dr. Ohman was called to New Britain in 1895 and arrived here on June 14 of that year. At that time the Swedish Lutheran parish had only 300 communicants and occupied the church at the corner of Elm and Chestnut streets, now a Jewish Syn- agogue. Today 1,300 members at- tend services at the handsome build- ing on Franklin square. This remark- able growth Is attributed solely to the untiring efforts of Dr. Ohman. The church also boasts of a splendid new parsonage situated on Bassett street. Dr. Ohman has been prominently identified with civic activities as well as ecclesiastical work. At the found- ing of the New England conference four years ago he was chosen presi- dent and still holds that position. Often he acts as a representative of the Swedish people at varipus fune- tions. He is 2 member of the execu- tive committee of the Red Cross so- ciety. Dr. Ohman is one of the founders of the Commercial Trust company. Dr. and Mrs. Ohman were married at the home of Mrs. Ohman's par- ents in Elgin, Tllinois, on September 24, 1890. The officiating clergvman was one of Dr. Ohman’s most beloved professors, O. Olson, D. D,, Ph. D, a member of the Augustana Theologi- cal Seminary faculty. Four children have blessed the union of the couple two of whom, Filmore and George, are still living. Tn 1908 Muhlenberg college at Al- lentown, Pennsylvania, conferred the degree of D. D. on Dr. Ohman for “scholarly attainments, advanced theclogical participation in jmportant synodical work.” DEMONSTRATIONS EXCITES WILDEST ENTHUSIASM Skeptics and Doubters Who Come to Scoft Depart fis Converts.
