degree slackened. Sven Svenson preached in various places during the months of September, October, and November, without hindrance from the
authorities. At Yngsjo he preached four times.
At Carlshamn, though he was refused the hall, a
Lutheran opened his house for worship, and he
preached there in the evening. In some places
riotous men endeavored by noise and by threats to
disturb the meetings. But the priests do not appear
to have interfered, except indeed so far as that
their preaching and their hostility stir up the passions of the lowest order of the rabble.
During this tour Mr. Svenson had the joy of
hearing from the lips of his father, who for several
years had been an attentive hearer of the gospel,
the cheering tidings that he had at length found
peace in believing on the Lord Jesus Christ.
