He is progressive and up to date,without being a liberal and radical. Thisvisit is looked upon as the highest possi-ble form of an official recognition of theSwedish Lutheran church, the Augustanasynod, of this country, 'by the motherchurch, the Lutheran church of Sweden.

The bishop was a member of the houseof nobles in the Swedish parliament underthe old regime, and Is now again a mem-ber of parliament by election.

THE DANISH HOC*

la < rowtliiiK Into the Markets of ItsAmerican Comln.

The American hog has a European rival.Denmark has come into the field as a pro-ducer and exporter of hogs and hog prod-ucts, with a growth at least interestingif not suggestive to American producersof a commodity whose export value grewfrom $84,908,698 In 1891 to $119,961,503 in1901. The fact that hog products formthe largest single item in the exportationsof the United States, having exceeded lastyear by $2,000,000 those of the manufac-tures of iron and steel, whose exportshave attracted so much attention, lendsinterest to some facts which have Justreached the treasury bureau of statisticsregarding the remarkable development ofthe hog-packing industry of Denmark.This information is published in the"Danish Export Review," and show* thatthe number of head of swine in Denmarkhas increased from 301,000 in 1861 to 771,---000 in 1881 and 1,168,000 in 1898, the latestyear for which statistics are available.The prohibition of the importation of livehogs into Germany and the United King-dom, which countries were Denmark'sprincipal customers in this line, resultedin the establishment of slaughter-housesin Denmark and the increase in the pro-duction of Danish bacon and hams in re-cent years has been phenomenal. The ex-ports of hams and bacon from Denmarkhave grown from 9,120,000 Danish poundsin 1878 to 129,700,000 Danish pounds in1898; the value increasing from 4,110,000kroner in 1878 to 47,800.000 kroner in 1898,the value of the crown being 26.8 c.

As a consequence of the change fromthe export of live swine to that of slaugh-tered animals, the slaughter-houses haverisen to the greatest importance in Den-mark during the last_f£n^r fifteen years.Whilst formerly the slaughter-houses be-longed to private individuals, a largenumber of Joint and co-operative slaugh-ter-houses have been esfablished duringthis period.

Great Calamity In Sweden.One of Sweden's most popular institutions,

the "smorgaas bord," or lunch table, iathreatened with extinction. It may not begenerally knowu in America, but neverthelessall Swedish restaurants maintain a lunchtable at dinner. It Is not a "free lunch,"but it has one point of striking similarity Incommon. The "guectg" root around withtheir forks in everything on. to* tabla. la

Sweeten, however, a charge of 60 ore (about 14cents) Is charged for tW» privilege of the"emorgaas," but as It also Includes a ponyof brandy, the institution, although popular,Is far from profitable.

1 The lunch 4* Intended simply as an appeti-ser to too regular dinner, but certain peoplemanage to satisfy the Inner void at the lunchcounter and forget consequently that there isa dining-room near by,

A Swedish smorgaas bord Is quite as com-plete as the American free lunch, consistingof sandwiches, cheese, herring, warm fish andmeats, more than enough to take the edge oSthe appetite, even If one makes use of thedining-room. One course and dessert willsuffice.

The restaurateurs of Malmo have abolishedthe lunch feature, those In Stockholm threat-en to do so, and the ancient institution seamsto bo doomed.

I,eif Erikaon Recognized.Judging from the tone of the press in its

utterances on the unveiling of the Leif Erik-son statue in Humboldt park, all Chicago isprepared to accept the old Norse version ofthe discovery of America by the vikings. TheChicago Chronicle in particular gives a com-prehensive account of the pre-Columbian voy-ages to America and speaks of the journeysof Lelf Erikson as a part of authentic his-tory.

When it Is considered that the Norsemenhad flourishing colonies on Iceland andGreenland as early as the ninth century, andAmerica is no further from Greenland thanIceland from Norway, it Is inconceivable thatthe daring and hardy vikings did not continuetheir voyages further than Greenland. Dr.John Fiske, who made quite a study of theNorsemen, was convinced that they reachedAmerica, and even maintained a colony therefor many years.

Norway's Defenses.

The Norwegian government estimates forthe coming fiscal year show a probable in-come of 102,500,000 kroner and expenses 500.---800,000. The ordinary military budget callsfor 14,000,000 kroner and the extraordinarybudget for 3,500,000, divided as follows: Forthe harbor defenses at Christlania, 1,180,000kroner; rapid fire artillery, 1,400,000 kroner;continuation of th» fortifications at Chrls-tianssand, 800,000 kroner, and completion ofmines in Bergen harbor, 120,000 kroner. "

Many look upon the big military budget asa quiet preparation for war, and the sensa-tion mongers have not neglected the oppor-tunity to "get busy" with predictions. Thereneed "be no fear. The best of understandingexists between Norway and Sweden. The for-mer enna-ity has given way to a brotherly re-spect and a sincere- desire to reach completeharmony.

A recent number of the British MedicalJournal contains a lengthy biographicalsketch of Dr. G. H. A. Hanson, by Dr. H.P. Lee. Dr. Hanson has achieved a world-wide fame In the medical world by his atten-tion to leprosy and its contagious character.Since 1868, when he was appointed assistantphysician at the Bergen leprosy hospital, hehas devoted himself to the work. He haswritten many interesting and valuable treat-ises, beginning with one In 1869, when he wasbut 28 years old. His discovery of the^ bacil-lus of leprosy was made in 1878, or ten yearsbefore Dr. Koch discovered the bacillus oftuberculosis.

Sabbath-School Lesson.NOVEMBER 8, 1001

Lesson s—Fourth5—Fourth Quarter. . ,NOTES BY JOHN R. WHITNEY.

Death of Joseph.— I*. 15-26.

Golden Text—So teach us to number ourdays that we may apply our hearts unto wis- I

dom.—Psalm xc. 12.. Professor Tyndale, in his work on "Formsof Water," very truly says: "The happinessof a faith and the truth of a faith are totallydifferent things." The child of God, how-ever, found that out long before the scientistdid. It is very forcibly illustrated In thedifference between Joseph's brothers as theystand before him in the incident of this les-son, and as they stood before him in the oneconsidered last week. When he made himselfknown to them then, they were perfectly sat-isfied with the'truth of all that he said ordid. Now, however, after the lapse of severalyears, they were troubled and anxious. Thetruth had not made them permanently hap-py. And yet neither he nor the truth hemade known to them had changed in the

least. The change was in them, and It bringsbefore us a very common spiritual condition.

The revelation of Joseph to his brotherswhich we considered last week, carried withit the entire blotting out of their sin. Bythat revelalton he said to them— as dis-tinctly as God Bays to all penitent and believ-ing sinners when he reveals himself to them

"Their sins and iniquities -will I rememberno more." (Heb., x., 17.) But Joseph's broth-ers could not comprehend this at first anymore than the penitent sinner can. ' He hadto urge them to accept ! the grace. he was sowillingand glad to give. '\u25a0 "Come near to me,I pray you," ihe said. \u25a0 "I:am Joseph, yourbrother."- "And after that his brethren talkedwith him." (xlv.. 4-16.) ' .

Thus ' they : learned to know him end themore they communed with him the more theylearned, and the more they rejoiced. | For theysaw that they were not looked upon as par-doned criminals, but as brothers • beloved andrestored. But many things took place betweenthis conviction and the occasion which is nowbrought Ibefore us, and 'naturally' we ;. wouldsuppose that *they .would all tend to confirm

and strengthen their faith In him. Let us ex-amine them and see.

Having learned themselves to know the per-son and the position of Joseph, his brotherswere prepared and commissioned to take thegood news to others. The great feature oftheir message was "Ye shall tell my fatherof all my glory in Egypt, and of all that yehave seen." (xlv., 13.) This they were tomake prominent. They were not to speakso much of his goodness, of his wisdom,of his tender sympathy and compassion, as ofthe fact that God had made him "a fatherto Pharaoh and lord of all his house, anda ruler throughout all the land of Egypt."(xlv., 8.) This position gave virtue and ef-flqlency to everything else. This was lust themessage to awaken desire and aotion. Eventhe little children could understand it andrejoice.

So it is with the gospel message. Whenthe apostles went forth after the outpouringof the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost,they did not go preaching on the life ofJesus or the excellency of his teaching, or hiscompassion on the multitude, or his self-sacrificing spirit, but we read: "And withgreat power gave the apostles witness of theresurrection of the Lord Jeeus." (Acts iv.,33.) This was the great proof that he wasindeed a divine savior, able to save to theuttermost all who would come unto him.

At first Jacob could not receive the wonder-ful news. It was too good to be true, andunbelief filled his heart. As Rev. Dr. Wins-low says: "Faith always looks at the brightside of a dark picture; unbelief always looksat the dark side of a bright picture." ("Pa-triarchlal Shadows.") But when Jacob heard"all the words of Joseph," and "saw thewagons," he needed nothing more. Faithtriumphed and he said: "It is enough; Jo-seph, my son, is still alive; I will go and seehim before I die." (xlv., 28-28.)

With his whole house he left Hebron andsoon reached Beersheba, on the way to Egypt.There he stopped to offer sacrifices and toinquire of the Lord. When he and his familyreached the borders of Egypt, "he sent Judahbefore him" (xlvi., 28) to announce their ar-rival. Joseph was evidently waiting for thenews with glad expectation. At once he"made ready his chariot and went up to meetIsrael, his father." (xlvi., 29.) The wel-come was like "the Joy In heaven," when theLord receives the returning sinner, for thenthe soul of Jacob was satisfied when he wasclasped in the arms of Joseph.

But a warm, loving welcome la not all thatthe sinner receives. As soon as the greet-ing was over, "Joseph said unto his brethren,1 will go up and show Pharaoh, and say untohim, My brethren and my father's house arecome unto me." (xlvl., 31.) For now they\u25a0were to be presented to the king as hisbrothers. And when they stood before theking there was no reference made to theirpast history or conduct; no word of reproachor condemnation. Itwas only a time of Joyand thanksgiving.

This Is the portion of every believer. He ispresented by his adorable redeemer beforethe king of kings as "not having spot, orwrinkle, or any such thing." (Eph. 5: 27.)Tor thus saith the scripture, "You that weresometime alienated and enemies in your mindby wicked works, yet now hath he reconciledIn the body of his flesh, through death, to pre-sent you holy and unblamable and unreprov-able in his sight" (Col. 1: 21-22), "to pre-sent you faultless before the presence of hisglory with exceeding joy. (Jude 24.)

Having thus been presented to the king, byhis direction, the land of Goshen was givento Jacob and his children as their dwellingplace. Being on a somewhat lower level thanthe rest of Egypt it received the largest andthe most fertile deposits of the overflow ofthe Xlle and -was thus, for all agriculturalpurposes, the richest and best portion of theland.

Moreover, here Jacob's family would be keptby themselves. In Canaan they had begun tcally themselves with the heathen by inter-marriage. Thi6 must be broken up. So now,driven by the famine into Egypt, in a smallerarea they were drawn closer to each other,and, by the prejudices of the Egyptiansagainst shepherds (46: 34) they were keptfrom intermingling with them. Thus theybecame in Egypt a separate and "peculiarpeople." This is ever God's way of dealingwith his accepted children. They must be inthe world, but not of the world. Yet theirportion is a very Goshen all the while.

For seventeen years (47:28) Jacob and hisfamily resided in Goshon. and were nourishedby Joseph. But there Is no account of anyInterchange of personal intercourse until nearthe time of Jacob's death. Then we have thostory of how Joseph presented his two sonsto his father. (48: 1-22.) For the inspiredwriter declares spiritual things, and he mustdeclare them in the divine order. And spirit-ually there must always be first the presenta-tion of the repentant sinner to God as a king,and then to him as a father.

For every man stands primarily before Godas a rebel against an offended sovereign. Hehas broken his law and denied his authority.When he is awakened to a full consciousnessof his condition, and longs for deliverance, asthe children of Jacob longed for bread, he has

no idea of Qpd as a father. He can only lookupon him as a ruler and a judge. He knowsthat he has offended against him, and hecannot believe that he loves any one whomhis law condemns.

But when, penitent and believing, he Is rs-celved by his Savior, then he finds that Godcan be just, and yet justify the ungodly.Then he can understand that God is notonly bis king, but also his loving father.Thus the spiritual relation of the sinner tobit maker is beautifully illustrated In the

historic order of narration in this 'itory ofJoseph.

This presentation by Joseph of his two sonsto his father also sets forth another verygracious spiritual truth. For Jacob at onceadopted them as his own children and madethem partakers of all that was included intho Abrabamic covenant. So he said, "AsReuben and Simeon they shall be mine. Letmy name be named on them, and the nameof my fathers, Abraham and Isaac." (xlvii.,6, 16.) Being thus made children they becamehis legal heirs. So the aicepted sinner entersinto "the household ot God." Having "re-ceived the spirit of adoption" he is a child ofGod, and if a child, then an heir: heir ofGod, and Joint heir with Christ. (Rom. vili.,15-]7.)

If this were merely a fancy sketch it would'probably end here. The long separated familyhas been reunited They are rejoicing in thegoodness of the exalted son and brother.They have no want unsatisfied. And as itsets forth spiritual truth it would seem as ifthe bound of grace ha<j been reached. Forwhen the penitent sinner has learned to knowhis Savior; has received forgiveness; beenpresented faultless before the king; beenadopted as a child, and become an heir ofGod, what more can he possibly desire orreceive? Theoretically there is nothing. Butexperimentally there is much. The story ofJoseph, therefore, would not be complete ifit did not present still another phase ofgrace.

Soon after Jacob had received and adoptedEphraim and Manesseh he gathered all of his.sons together and gave them his partingblessing. Then he died and was buried.After his death Joseph lived fifty-four years,and it is remarkable that during all thattime nothing apparently occurred worthy ofrecord until we come to the incident withwhich the history closes. It is this account ofthe fear which filled the hearts of Joseph'sbrothers (1., 15-21.) It is a very significantrecord.

For then it appeared to them that theystood before him in an entirely new relation,and their sin in rejecting him loomed up be-fore them blacker than ever. Although Itwas so long ago it was the one thing: thatnow troubled them. They called It "»ln, andnot "sins" (1., 17). for It Included all others,and appeared more than ever too gnat to beforgiven. To be sure Joseph had assuredthem of his forgiveness, and for nearly twentyyears bad dealt with them as brothers be-loved, but it was easy for them to accountfor all that. Then their father was alive, andit would, they thought, have grieved himIf their sins had been punished as It deserved.But now he waa dead, and' there was noneto stand between them and Justice. The re-membrance of all the kindnesses they hadreceived only aggravated their sense of guilt.They were not worthy, and now their alnoverwhelmed them.

So they came humbly before Joseph again,acknowledging their unworthineas, and crav-ing anew his forgiveness. It Is a very dif-ferent feeling which filled their minds nowfrom that which had filled them when theyfirst stood before him and acknowledged theirguilt. Then they trembled for fear of judg-ment. Now they longed for renewed assur-ances of forgiveness. Then It was necessaryfor Joseph to lead them to love him. Nowthey thought that it was necessary to bringhim to love them. But Joseph was onlygrieved and "wept when they spake untohim." if. 17.)

So it is often with the child of God. Themore perfectly he enters into the new rela-tionship which redemption has brought himto his King and Father in heaven, the- moredeeply will he be apt to feel the sinful ness ofsin, and the more will he long for the fullassurance of forgiveness. For he cannot ob-tain peace by looking at any of his past ex-periences. Neither will his remembrance ofGod's grace and goodness give It. Nothingbut a simple coming back again, with confes-sion and faith, to hia Savior, can give himcomfort. For peace does not come through
