WESTIN, JiREV FRÅN C. O. ROSENIUS

tion of a baroness Posse, about fifty young women have been sent out
as teachers in schools for the people. These fifty, joined to the
sixty-three " sisters " form the Deaconesses’ Institution, form a company of
more than one hundred. The number of these females, now at work on
different points, together with that of the many colporteurs which of
låte has been rather increased, may give you an adequate idea of the
activity displayed by the laymen in our land.
Brother Ahnfelt is almost continually traveling in Sweden and
Norway. When he visited Stockholm some weeks ago, he told us many
rejoicing experiences, which it would now take too much time to relate.
In a word, the Lord liveth among us and is working wonderful and
gracious things. If we could look over this work with spiritual eyes,
our hearts would be filled with joy. Nevertheless we must still say:
The harvest truly is plenteous, but, comparatively, the laborers arc few!
We have reason both to praise the Lord, and to pray for His blessings
more and more.
Remember me to all our friends in the Board!
Yours in the love of Christ,
C. O. Rosenius.

A few weeks ago we received a brief letter from the Rev. George Scott, of
Birkenhead, which stands in the same relation to Liverpool that Brooklyn holds
to New-York, in which he tells us some interesting things about Sweden, a
country in which he spent some of the happiest years of his life, laboring to revive
religion in Stockholm as well as in the provinces of that kingdom. Among other
things he tells us of the death of Mr. Tcllstræm, the excellent missionary among
the Laplanders in the North of Sweden, an interesting sketch of whose life and
labors Mr. S. wrote whilst in this country in 1841, and which was published by
John S. Taylor, then a bookseller in Nassau-street. This servant of the Lord died
at his post at the age of fifty-one. And now whilst we are making up the present
number of the Christian World, we have received the following letter from our
Missionary, C. O. Rosenius, which we lose no time in giving to our readers. The
news from Finland which it contains will be read with interest.
