Soderblom
Thirty years ago, a young Swedish priest, Nathan Soderblom, visited Dwight L. Moody, evangelist, at Northfield, Mass. Last week he came again, Archbishop of Upsala and Primate of the Church of Sweden, to visit America.
Welcomed and feted by civic officials and Lutheran clergy, he will tour the country, lecturing under the auspices of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America and other peace-unity organizations. To study prohibition is his first aim. " In adopting prohibition America has accomplished an act of heroism! " said he. With the Archbishop are Mme. Soderblom and their young son, who is already taller than his father.
The Archbishop leaves everywhere an impression of earnestness and genuine kindliness. His face is square. His eyes are keen.
