Adventist Progress in Germany

In what is known as the land of the Reformation, the German empire, wonderful advancement has been made in giving to the people the third angel's message. In January, 1876, the first baptism took place. Sixteen were then baptized by Elder Erzenberger. In 1898 the first conference was organized. At the beginning of 1912 Elder L. R. Conradi reports seventeen self-supporting conference organizations, with 10,600 Sabbath-keepers. Twenty-five per cent of their tithe, besides offerings, goes to the support of mission work in East Africa. And although poor, an average of from seven to fifteen dollars' tithe is paid per member annually in the different conferences. All this goes to show that God's hand is over this movement in a special manner in the land where Luther and his associates achieved such victories in the earlier struggles of the Reformation.
