Christiania, Norway.

By JOHN G. MATTESON

LAST Sabbath we held meetings with the church at Alstrup, and administered the ordinances. On Sunday one brother was baptized. Monday I left for this city. Norway is truly a country of mountains and rocks. Christiania is the capital of Norway and has 105,000 inhabitants. It is a healthy and very cleanly town, and offers good facilities for publishing. It is the most central place in the three Scandinavian kingdoms. I have rented rooms for meeting, and housekeeping, and this will be our main home for the coming year, the Lord willing.

We pray that God may direct all things for his glory, and bless our feeble efforts to the conversion of precious souls in Norway also. In the course of a couple of weeks I return to Denmark to help our dear Brethren Brorsen to get started in the work there, and then we shall move to this place. JOHN G. MATTESON.
