WESTIN, JiREV FRÅN C. O. ROSENIUS
325
I have not much to say of my own work. Early in the Spring I
made a little tour to Nerike. There I saw and heard many rejoicing
things. Still more we heard through the many agents of the Evangelical
Fatherland Institution, who have been working among the awakened
in the country, and who, a fortnight ago, were assembled in Stockholm
for the sake of the annual meetings of our religious societies. As the
conversion of every soul is a miracle of the grace of God, such accounts
as those which we then received, are highly animating, and are fit to
give fresh verdure and flowers even to old and dry trees.
Ahnfelt was also among us. He had just returned from a
journey to Dalarne, and was very much satisfied with what he had
experienced there.
If God gives me a happy return from my intended journey, I
hope to be able to give you some more news afterwards. I have been
prompted to make this journey by many writings from the northern
parts of the country, where revivals as well as schisms give the
Christians very much to do.
May God bless you with his grace and peace.
[C. O. Rosenius.]

When quietly living in Stockholm, I have sometimes much difficulty to
find time for all I have to do, and as my journey to the North, of
which I last wrote to you, took up a whole month of my time, my
business has of course been very much increased after my return.
Looking over the work of the Lord going on in the whole country,
and wishing to relate what could be most interesting to you, it is not
easy to select that which can be of value and be communicated in the
short space of a letter. My journey was full of events, interesting for
me, some rejoicing, and others painful; but I am well aware that no
words can describe to others what my heart felt on this occasion, as I
traveled through parts of the country, known to me some thirty years,
where I passed my childhood and youth, and where I was able, with
deep-felt and vivid experience, to compare former and present times.
I extended my voyage high up to the frontier between us and
the Russian Empire, to Haparanda, a little town in the very North of
