and how blessed of you to offer thalt good prayer in my room on th e S.S.— while in Wilm ington. I have also thanked God for same and will again th ank you; it warmed my old heart. And I th ank you for all the good read ing m atter you left w ith me. I gave th a t book to Mr. -------, first mate, as you requested.” F u rth e r on in the le tte r he says, “This will probably be my last voyage as my eyesight is failing and I feel old age coming on.

There is an English Bible Class in our Y, M. C. A., and I have many friends so Xwill introduce you to them all and w ant to continue the in quiry and answers about faith and re ligion.” This young man is only one of several hundred on th e boat th a t day.
