North Carolina

By W. E. CARTER

ELIZABETH CITY.—It has been some time since I have said anything about our work in eastern North Carolina. On our little boat we have opportunities to meet and talk with men whom we could reach in no other way. Often while lying at anchor in harbor with other vessels, the captains and part of their crews will visit our boat and spend the evening, sometimes staying till late, studying the Bible and listening to its precious truths. They have come to know our boat, and there is hardly an evening that we do not have a company on board. Often the invitation is given from captains of other vessels, “Come on board to-night; we want to hear you talk.” Sometimes I accept, but more often I invite them to come on board my boat. So the crowd gathers, and often the cabin is full, and some are on the deck outside when the weather will permit.

In nearly all the towns where our literature has been sold, offers of places in which to hold meetings have been extended to us. The people are anxious to hear the message. We expect to give our boat entirely to the mission work this fall. W. E. CARTER.
