A Nation in the Loom: The Scandinavian Fibre in Our Social Fabric An Address by Rev. R. A. Jernberg

"A Nation in the Loom: The Scandinavian Fibre in Our Social Fabric" by R. A. Jernberg is an informative address from 1895 that shines a light on the impact of Scandinavian immigrants on American society. It carefully examines how their values and strong faith have shaped the country's culture and moral compass. Jernberg emphasizes the importance of this group in the U.S., focusing on their community spirit and willingness to embrace American life while staying true to their roots. He paints a picture of a community heavily involved in politics, education, and religion, all of which strengthens their citizenship. The book makes a case for different Christian groups to work together to support the Scandinavian population, seeing their growth as a key part of America's overall story and a source of important social contributions to the nation's identity.
