These services seemed to be appre ciated by the hearers. At the Marine Hospital I found and used many op portunities to do good by reading the scriptures, talking and praying with them found therein. I nave tried to relieve temporal and spiritual neces sities. . With a glad heart I am able. to sav that a number of men have been'brought to Christ and have con-, nected themselves with the Church, I have held services as often as three times a week, often by special request of the seamen in port. : Services at night have been especially: well at tended. - I often meet on board ves sels in port persons who profess to be the friend,- of sailors but are really enemies In disguise, doing all in their power to lead them astray to dens or vice and iniquity.
