anything satisfactory in this way. If in the future I should succeed in
obtaining some particulars on this subject, I will hasten to send them
to you, as I hope that your interest in the progress of the Gospel in
our northern lands is unaltered.
Recommending this dear cause to your love and your prayers, I
remain yours in the Lord

Rev. A. E. Campbell, D. D.—As I feel convinced that you have
not lost your old interest in what is going on in our land, I wish to
give you some news from us, though no very remarkable things have
occurred. I work, with preaching and writing as before; the colporteurs
and deaconesses do their work silently and often unnoticed, and the
Lord is blessing our work in the love of it. It is true, the awakenings
appear to abate in some places; but so in others they are increasing and
gaining ground: this is most evident by the fact that, though the
Evangelical Fatherland Institution has now seventy colporteurs, it is
more and more difficult to answer to the wish for their work from all
quarters of the land.
At the General Meeting of one of our Bible Societies, which took
place last week it was stated that the two Societies here working have
spread during last year 101,813 copies of the Bible. The Queen and
other members of the royal family were present at the meeting.
The newspaper have certainly told you of the extremity of our
neighbors, hitherto left alone to struggle against the powers of Germany.
We hope and pray that these trials will, in the almighty hands of our
Lord, become the effectual means of arousing in Denmark more vitality
and zeal for the cause of Christ. We have seen through letters from
Copenhagen that an increased inquiry after the Word of God has
already been perceived among the people. The wish for Swedish
deaconesses as helpers in the hospitals at Als, expressed by the Queen
herself, has already most willingly been acceded to, and four sisters
have entered upon this new sphere of activity. Two of them are
working at Norborg and two of them at Augustenborg, where hospitals
have been arranged.
I think it will interest you to hear something of the secret werk
of the Lord in the hearts of individuals, which is commonly hidden to
our eyes, but with which I am sometimes aquainted through my
correspondence and conversation with inquiring souls. I wish this time
