The aim is to reach eve ry man on board with the Gospe l, and to provide them with the Scriptures and other Christian literature free of charge. Serv ices are held whenever and wherever possible on all vessels, and many personal interviews are bad. The worker does not wa it on shore for the men to come to him, but himself boards the vessels. He does not confine his work to the sai lors, but has had the joy of dealing with many officers in the cabins, and has given the Gospel to thou sands of passengers from Japan, China and Korea, en route to South America. Thus the work is a combination of home and foreign service,-Americans, Englishmen, Hawaiians, Negroes, Span iards, Greeks, Italians, Filipinos, Norwegians, Siamese, Chi nese, Japanese, all reached within two weeks, and all having the message, either by lip or tract, in their own language . The efficiency of this work has so commended itself to the officials, that the worker is given carte blanche for all boats. We are hoping that the way will open for the work to be extended to all the ports on the Pacific Coast.
