There is born unto you this day in the city of David, a Saviour which is Christ the Lord'" etc. Ida interpreted for me, there were more than 1000 people there; and all deeply interested.

Then we drove to our quarters feeling great peace; and well paid for such crowning meetings. Seventh month, 10th. We left Stavanger for Warland. Staid over night and had a nice religious meeting with the family. Then we went to Hegem over rock roads. We had to carry Ida a part of the way on a stick between us. We had a large and good meeting.
