OF THINGS SEEN AND DONE DURING Hn
TRIP To THE INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY
SCHOOL CONVENTION.
An ocean trip has ceased to be much of /
novelty to the public. Next year will Sc,
the fftieth anniversary since the famed Gu
nard steamship britannia" began regular
voyages between Liverpool and Boston, ant
now many lines are sending their swift
floating palaces to and fro, carrying thous
ands Of passengers from shore to shore
But a journey may derive a special interest
from its object, and so may have something
to offer to the attention Of any who are ii
sympathy with it.
The steamship Bothnia started out Jun,
18th with peculiar company. Never be-
fore, it is believed, were $50 persons assem-
bled ON single ship bound for a Sunday
school convention across the sea. All the
circumstances were favorable scarcely q
more perfect day could have been asked.
