(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Excerpt from Compend of Church History for Lutheran Young People
IT has seemed to me that a Compend of Church History, in handy form and in the English language, would fill a want among our Lutheran young people. For years I have therefore had it in my mind to prepare such a book, hoping that it might be read with interest and profit in the homes, and that it might be found useful in connection with the work done by our Young People's Societies and Our Sunday Schools. I may add that While the plan and arrangement of the book are my own, I have, of course, consulted other Church Histories, and made use of that which seemed best.

Peer Olsen Stromme was an American pastor, teacher, journalist, and author. He was a popular lecturer on Norwegian culture and literature, subjects to which he was deeply devoted.
Background
Peer Olson Strømme was born on September 15, 1856 in Winchester, Wisconsin, United States. He was the third of the thirteen children of Ole and Eli (Haugen) Olsen, was born in Winchester, Wisconsin. His grandparents had emigrated to America from Norway.
Education
At the age of thirteen he was sent to Luther College, Decorah, Iowa, and was graduated with the A. B. degree in 1876. He studied theology at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri, from 1876 to 1879.
Career
After studies Stromme was ordained to the Lutheran ministry. He served Norwegian congregations near Hendrum, Minnesota, and on the Dakota side of Red River from 1879 to 1881, in Ada, Minnesota, 1881 to 1886, and near Nelson, Wisconsin, 1886 to 1887. While at Ada, he was also superintendent of schools of Norman County. He taught for one year at St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minnesota, and then he turned to journalism.
He edited Norden, a Norwegian weekly, published in Chicago, from 1888 to 1890, and again in 1892. In the interval he made his initial visit to Norway, followed from time to time by ten other visits to Europe, including two journeys around the world as press correspondent in 1906 and 1910.
In 1892 he bought and edited the Superior Posten, Superior, Wisconsin, but soon gave it up to accept the headship of an academy at Mount Horeb, Wisconsin.
In 1894 he did journalistic work for the Milwaukee Journal, and from 1895 to 1898 edited the Amerika, a Norwegian weekly published in Chicago. From 1898 to 1900 he was on the editorial staff of the Minneapolis Times, covering especially the Minnesota state legislature. He did editorial work on the Politikken and the Vor Tid, Minneapolis periodicals, in 1904-05.
In 1909 he was editor of the Eidsvold, a Norwegian magazine issued at Grand Forks, North Dakota, and, from 1911 to 1918, of the Nordmanden, published in the same city. He also wrote for the Decorah Posten, Decorah, Iowa, the Daily News and the Skandinaven, of Chicago.
In 1898 he ran on the Democratic ticket in Wisconsin for the office of state treasurer, but failed to be elected.
In 1909 he translated stories by Byron A. Dunn and Stanley Waterloo into Norwegian. His most careful work was the translation into English of Laaches Husandagtsbog, a Norwegian devotional classic, under the title Laache's Book of Family Prayer (1902). In 1918 he translated J. W. Gerard's My Four Years in Germany (1917) into Norwegian.
His memoirs, Erindringer, published in book form in 1923, first appeared in the Nordmanden, and contain descriptions of hundreds of contemporaries whom the author learned to know in his busy, colorful career.
Stromme was a Democrat and from time to time published campaign literature, organized democratic societies, and delivered political addresses for his party.
Personality
He was an unusually effective platform speaker, of fluent speech and ready wit, tall, and Vikinglike, with a rugged, jovial face. His memory for poetry was phenomenal and he possessed a museum of telling mimicry.
Connections
Stromme was married to Laura Marie Eriksen, of Lansing, Iowa, on November 12, 1879. She and six children survived him.
