Twenty-Seven Million Foreign-Born Germans and Scandinavians

By J. R. Ferren

At the time of the 1910 census, eighteen and one-half per cent of the population of the United States were foreign-born Germans, and more than nine per cent were born in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Thus we have more than twenty-seven million Germans and Scandinavians in this country to whom to carry a knowledge of the truth.

Our quarterly magazines fill a most important place in this work, adapted as they are for sale in the cities and for general missionary use. English magazine agents sell them, foreign magazine agents sell them, and our church missionary workers generally can help get them into the hands of the people. For the first quarter of 1916, in addition to a variety of general present truth articles, health notes, and home department features, they contain the following leading articles:—

Die Zeichen der Zeit (German Signs of the Times)

The Battle of Armageddon.

The Millennium.

God's World Government.

Perilous Times.

The Healing of the Wound.

Lys Over Landet (Danish-Norwegian)

Religious Tyranny—How Formed.

Menace of War—How It Will Be Destroyed.

World Peace—When Will It Come?

Results of Union of Church and State.

Tidens Tecken (Swedish Signs of the Times)

True and False Worship.

The Millennium.

Sun Worship.

Immortality.

The Word Eternal.

The Extermination of a Race.

In your study of our great foreign field, bear in mind that while many can carry on their business successfully in English, the

large proportion worship and gain their knowledge of Bible subjects in the mother tongue. To do really successful work in our cities and in many smaller places and communities, therefore, one should be provided with current literature in these languages. Will you not study your opportunities, and, if possible, help us reach many with the German, Danish-Norwegian, and Swedish magazines here described? They cost the same as the English; namely, from 5 to 40 copies, 5 cents each; 50 or more, 4 cents each. Order of your tract society.
