The Midnight Sun-The Scenery
of Norway

A letter dated at Hammerfest,
Norway, July II, is published in
the Evangelist of last week. The
writer, who is the Rev DR.. Dan
iel March, says:
1t is midni sht by my watch
midnight by the watches of my
travelling companions-midnight
by the ships chronometer--mid
night by our reckoning of time on
our voyage, and vet the sun is
shining directly in the north, full
orbed and as full of light as when
within anzhour of setting in clear
sky in America. / look down a
beautiful ford, between two walls
of dark mountains and a calm
bright sea, and in the utmost limit
of the view is the great orb OF day
pouring flood of golden light up
on the water, kindling the fleeing
clouds above him with all the hues
Of the rainbow, browning the dark
ridges of the mountains with rosy
tints and covering the whole face
of land and sea with calm, sacred
awful beauty, such as | never be-
held in any other region Of the
earth. 1t seems as if | had
climbed so high up the ridge Of the
round world that | could see over
into the secret chambers where
the King of Day retires to his
golden rest. 1 feel almost afraid
to look at the awful monarch
while he is putting on his robes OF
brightness and preparing to go
forth and shine upon the subject
world 1t seems as if | had in
truded with rude and impairment
curiosity into the secret place of
the King of Light, and that he
might punish the intrusion hy
shifting me with blindness. Never
could this strange sight OF the
midnight sun be seen to greater
advantage. The ship entered this
beautiful ford just in time to give
us the best possible position for
Leholding the two things which
once seen are never to be forgot

sun directly in the north.
The town of Uammerfest is the
most northerly town in all the
