Pihl, pastor of the Ewedish Bethany church of this city, Mho recently received a call to North Park college church at North Park, L., has decided to decline the call. |Although the call appealed to the lo- rcal pastor he had to decline it because of a previous agreement with the members of his church. Early last spring he was given leave of absence for flve months to take charge of the Swedish Orphanage In Cromwell but it was with the agree- ment that he would return to this city at the end of that time. It was to i keep his word on the previous agree- men that he decided to stay in this city. Mr. Pihl's position would have been very responsible in North Park ms the church is patronized by the faculty and students of the North Park college. His work would have Rlso carried him into a large Swedish hospital that is conducted in connec- tion with the college. The minister of the church has the spiritual welfars pf several hundred college students in hand. Rev. Mr. Pihl feels that the work here needs him although he is piving up a great opportunity in not answering the call.

The existence of this agree- ment has been for a long time alleged but never before was it thus publiciy and formally admitted. A Reuter dispatch from Petrograd says that, when Premier . Trepoff mounted the tribune in the Duma to read the government's statement, the parties of the extreme left began a hostile demonstration, which prevent- ed him from speaking for a quarter of an hour. M. Trepoff thrice ap- peared on the tribune, but each time left, owing to the turmoil. In order to end the demonstration, the pr the expulsion of eight sittings of twelve members of the socialist and labor parties, including the leaders, Toheidse and Kerenski. The proposal was adopted and the premier was then able to deliver his speech. M. Trepoff expressed satisfaction, the correspondent continues, at the patriotic activities of the municipali- ties and social organizations and said that the government would take all possible measures for the establish- ment of settled order behind the army. In the present exceptional time, the premier said, this lack of or- der has been felt in questions of sup- ply, with the result that, despite the abundance of produce, the population in many reglons was experiencing dif- ficulty with regard to food. It would be necessary to examine the question, he sald, and see whether it was not imperative to renounce the system of | restrictions and adopt some other method affording a wider field for commercial transactions. Require More Munitions Plants. The premier discussed the transport | difficulties, declaring that they made necessary an examination into the question of vast railway construction. | He said that measures must be taken to increase the production of metals and fuel, and that the construction of factories for the manufacture of war | material and the development of the country’s technical resources was im- perative. In this connection he added that measures were being considered for the development of technical edu cation; that a bill would be intro- duced for compulsory general educa- tion, as well as other measures tend- ing to raise the general standard of culture. In conclusion the premier sident of the Duma proposed | said: “But the government’s immediate ! program must be directed to winning a complete and conclusive victory, | cost what it may. The war must con- ! tinue until German militarism is de- stroyed beyond all possibility of re- crudescence in the early future. The war must be crowned by victory, not | only over the enemy without, but the | enemy within. The war has opened, the eyes of the people, and they real- ize now that Russian industry, edu- cation, science, and art have been un- | | der the voke of Germanism.” SWEDISH BETHANY CHURCH. Thursday evening at the Swedish Bethany church, Rev. Carl Nelton of China, who is visiting in this country and is at present substituting for the | pastor of a New Haven church, will | speak on his work in China.

BT TR Mrs. to ONES sometimes wakes up feeling cross and in consequence the family know it without his telling them in so many words. Jones attributes it to biliousness and if it doesn’t wear off during the day she gives him’ a dose of liver medicine at night. The next morning he feels better and she gives him coffee for breakfast,——‘and the next morning,—and the next morning. a few days Jones has another spell. Dear Mrs. Jones means all right, but she doesn’t seem to realize that if she didn’t give Jones his morning coffee she wouldn’t have ive him the liver medicine and Jones would feel all right without both. Housewives everywhere have found out that Instant Postum takes the place of break- fast coffee perfectly. And that is only one of the reasons why Instant Postum has wholly supplanted the use of coffee on thousands upon thousands of American breakfast tables. And in
