Among Seamen, in the Great Ports

" 'CORAL Leaf,' ahoy! Take a line for us, please. This is a beautiful morning, shipmate. Are all hands on board?"
"We be all here, sir."
"What nationality is the crew composed of?"
"English, German, Danish, and Portuguese."
"We wish to give you some choice reading-matter which will no doubt interest all hands."
This is the work that the motor launch Liberty, now in the port of New York, has been engaged in for the last sixteen years in the different ports on the coast, helping to give the message of the soon-coming Lord.

Some time ago we visited the steamship Lord Stanley, and placed in the hands of the crew a supply of literature. The captain was very indifferent, in fact refused even to accept the SIGNS after carefully looking it over; but he made this remark: "You Seventh-day Adventists are an aggressive lot of people." "Why do you say this, captain?" I asked. "Why, we meet you folks in every part of the world," he replied. Before the steamship Stanley sailed, we had the privilege of placing in the captain's hands a tract on every point of these advent truths. After examining the same, he remarked, "What a beautiful lot of subjects to read on!"

The message is onward with rapid power to earth's remotest bounds, and there can be no stop until the earth is lightened with its glorious truths and Jesus comes.
Hardly a day passes but we hang up the prophetic chart and call attention to the prophecies and the grand time we are living in; and we have many a glad response to the truths presented.
CAPT. J. L. JOHNSON.
