In a private letter to a friend, a Dunedin White Riblnmer says : “ You will he pleased to hear a Norwegian ship came into Port. We gave the sailors a tea, followed by a Gospel meeting. They could not express themselves in our language, but could understand what we said. At the close of the service the captain, with tears streaming down his face, said in broken English, that for himself and crew, he thanked us, ‘Oh ! so much ; in all their travels wound the wide, wide worl, no peoples nowhere be so kind.’ Hut the best of all was the next Sunday, when live of the crew were converted. Like Christian in ‘ Pilgrim’s Progress,' they were so deeply convicted they would neither eat nor sleep, they wept and trembled, but when they saw the Light they shouted for joy and the workers with them, and I .aid. Hallelujah! Is that not what it ought to be—foreigners coming to a Christian land to find the Saviour? It i> a long time since conversions impressed me so much.’
