THE SCANDINAVIAN WORK.—Mr. Hans H. Johnson
the ship-keeper at the Bethel Ship, is a distributer of the Holy Scriptures among the Scandinavians, and gives the following in his report of his labors:— “The Scandinavian immigration of the last twelve months (from April, 1872 to April, 1873) has been very large, not less than 22,149 souls having left their native home for America. The greater part of these have gone West. They seem to have chosen the following six States—Iliinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Kansas—for their homes. The most of these came, as usual, by way of Liverpool, but during last summer we had three steamers which brought 1319 immigrants direct from Norway. I have distributed among them ninety-five Bibles and 2354 Testaments, and received from sales $130.85. I have visited during the year 479 Scandinavian vessels.”—Methodist.
