Scandinavian Union Mission School

By Erik Arnesen

OUR Danish-Norwegian Union Mission School opened the first day of November last. The enrolment has been forty-one. The Spirit of God has been felt in our midst. Especially was this the case during the week of prayer, which was to us a precious season indeed. The New-year's offering, taken at the close of the week of prayer at the school, amounted to just two hundred kroner, or about fifty-four dollars. This result was most encouraging, practically all the students being without means.
With very few exceptions all those attending school this year are converted to God, and no doubt even most of these few will unite with us by the close of the year. Two have already been baptized. Aside from our regular class work, weekly exercises in speaking and holding Bible readings, are being given to a number of the most experienced students, this class being in charge of our union conference president, Elder J. C. Raft. The students seem to highly appreciate this and the other privileges they are enjoying at the school. And we expect that a large number of them will go out into the Lord's harvest-field to engage in the work of saving souls and of enlightening the people in regard to the precious truth of Christ's speedy return.
No doubt a very large number of these dear young people will enter the field as canvassers, others as Bible workers, etc. May the God who has called them into his service, and who has put it into their hearts to do all they can to prepare for still better service, make them a blessing and a power for the advancement of his own cause, resulting in the salvation of many souls, a glorious harvest in the final day of reward.
We are this year occupying our new school building, located on the sanitarium grounds. This affords us far better facilities than those we had last year. The building was finished early last fall.
Our school year closes the last day of April. ERIK ARNESEN.
