-26- could not leave Norway for England the time we had expected to. The high Hand of Providence had interfered with the plans (of some of them) and changed them. Ida had felt that we were hurrying away before the time. And to His great honor alone let all the praise and high renown be ascribed. Unto the Lord God and the Lamb henceforth, now and forever more. On the fifteenth of eighth month we left Roiseland, Norway again. Arrived in Oie where the boat lands. We were truly glad to have reached this place. It was a very rainy evening. We had come twelve miles. Here we had two large and very favored appointed meetings. The people becoming acquainted with us, asked us if we would not have another meeting there with them. Way did not open for it. When we were here before we sent a telegram to Flekkfjord, (the town we passed through on our way to Stavanger) giving them notice that we expected to have a religious meeting there that day. When we arrived there they had received the telegram. But said it would be in vain for us to get the people to attend the meeting there at that time of day; as we had to leave Flekkefjord near two o'clock for Stavanger (the distance being about ninety miles).
