Elder E. Ludington's Protection and Provision During Voyage to Singapore

“I arrived there a stranger, alone, niless, and without a home. I walked up and down the streets seeking or inquiring for a place for a servant of God. I called on the rich and noble, so called, but they turned a deaf ear to a humble servant of God. I was in the streets in finding an inn. By and by I fell in with some noble sons of the main. I was soon introduced to the landlord; he learning my situation, hired a man to take me out to the Rev. Mr. Keeslerry, of the Church of Scotland. He has a large school of Malay children. He has two printing-presses, and teaches the children the various arts of printing and binding, all at his own expense. He has a large plantation of nutmegs, and the various kinds of almost all fruit of India. He treated me as a brother, and boarded me three weeks at his own expense. — Millennial Star 16:34”
