Norway I found to have been at one time sadly cursed, 

 in its more populous centres, by excessive drinking. By firm 

 and beneficent legislation, the traffic in drink has been exten- 

 sively prohibited, and the craving for liquor among the 

 natives has now, to a large extent, become a thing of the 

 past. Latterly, however, British and German traders have 

 been working sad havoc among the Norwegians, more espe- 

 cially at their seaports, by the introduction of their own 

 drinking habits. It would be well if those by whose praise- 

 worthy efforts the Gospel has been so largely disseminated in 

 Norway were to keep in view the fact that, by the dis- 

 couragement of the traffic in drink, the local government has 

 contributed immensely to the sobriety and elevation of their 

 people, and they ought to do nothing which would tend to 

 counteract the good that has thereby been accomplished. 

 While the English-speaking race, especially, is able to confer 

 great and inestimable blessings, by commerce and otherwise, 

 upon the Norwegian people, I cannot conclude without say- 

 ing that, for industry, honesty, and virtue, tliey may in return 

 find much that is worthy of iinitation among that hospitable 

 and interesting people who constitute the Scandinavian race.
