(Pnparad by th Norway, where the nine hundredth anniversary of the establishment of Christianity Is being celebrated this summer, gained Ita faith, strangely, through piracy ; and the piracy of this virile people In the Dark ages came almost Inevitably from Its geographic situation, which forced the Norwegians Into a seafaring life. Nowhere else In the world have the Inhabitants of so northern a land had tha opportunity to utilize the sea the year round. For Norway Is In the latitude of northern 8lberla, bleak Labrador and Alaska. Though half of Norway la above the Arctic circle, the land la In effect removed far south by tits warm Gulf stream. Even the fjords which penetrate far Into the western aide of Norway remain unfrozen In winter save In their Inner-moa- t reaches. Off the coasts are almost Inexhaustible supplies of fiali. In the great forests of the land Is excellent timber for boat and shipbuilding. Every factor seemed to Invite and urge the Norwegians seaward, and they have been answering the call of the ica from the earliest times. The celebration of the Christianising of Norway uncovers one of the most y picturesque stories to be found In of the wholesale changing of a people's ways of life by the wills of a few strong men. The Norwegians of the Ninth and Tenth centuries forsook fishing as their major sea activity and became pirates, going In great fleets of galley to sack the coaats of more southerly Europe, where prosperity had reached considerable heights. They were heathens, sacrificing to Thor and Woden, and propitiating the un and natural forces. But through contact with the people of the eouth thoae Norwegian who left home saw a superior culture and a higher religion, which shook aomewhat their old be- should become Jeopardized.

( As In the past, ao now, fishing Is one of the basic Industries of Norway, where millions of dollars worth of cod and herring are taken annually. Bergen with Its great fish market tells eloquently of the Importance of flelt to this nation. Before the Thirteenth century Bergen waa supplying a great part of Christendom with the fish which It consumed on Fridays and other fast days. The Lofoten Islands, off the Norwegian coast Just above the Arctic circle, form the fishing center of Norway. The water are rough and the calling dangerous. Between two of these Islands surge the turbulent waters known around the world as forming the famous Maelstrom. The Viking spirit of the old Norwegians Is not dead, but has been transmitted into a driving force for modern activities. The modern Viking does not raid hla neighbors rousts; Instead, he takes his cargo ships all over the earth and carries a large share of the world's commerce. In 1913 Norway stood fourth In shipping among all the nations. Another way In which the Viking spirit manifests Itself today Is In NorThousands of wegian Immigration.
