Olsen, now of Owatonna. temporarily for its pastor.

In July, the same year, the church felt strong enough to support its own pastor, and called ltev. O.Paulsen, now of Willmar. He was tbe first Scandinavian resident pastor, and he became in all respects the founder and builder of the present strong church organization. He had participated in the war with honor and brought with him to his pastoral work that energy which has become characteristic of the northern states. A little church building had been erected near the corner ot Washington avenue and Twelfth avenue south.

Paulsen left for Willmar, and Prof. Oftedal was called to the vacant pastorate, and served three years.
