Those Who Go Down To the Sea in Ships
Voicing his appreciation of the appeal to be made to-day on behalf of the men ' of the mercantile marine to support the L ; Missions to Seamen in Wellington city, . S Rev. A. At. Ferguson, of St. Paul’s Pres- ’’ byterian Church, Feilding, spoke of his ~ contact with those men who go down to the sea in ships. For several years Air. Ferguson was in charge of religious work , at Bluff, the world’s most southern soa- ‘ port. There he met sailors who had been, like the Ancient Alariner, in dangers oft. A number of these men had been and still were trading in deep waters during the present war and some of them had been in no fewer than three ships ~ that had been torpedoed. “And yet," concluded Air. Ferguson, “they had eontinued to go back to the sea despite, or 'j perhaps because of, the dangers real and t threatened.” Such men should have hos- ' pitality provided for them in all the ports of the British Empire.
