Europe No Longer Needs General Conference Appropriations

ELDER W. T. KNOX, the treasurer of the General Conference, reports that in a recent communication from the office of the European Division of the General Conference, the Treasury Department was notified that hereafter Europe would require no further appropriations from the General Conference treasury. When it is understood that the European Division includes, in its work, not only all the countries of Europe and Great Britain, but also Siberia, Russian Asia, the countries around the Mediterranean, and Northern and Eastern Africa, and that only a few years ago Europe was, in fact, a mission field for the third angel’s message, and drew its support from America, we can appreciate how much there is to thank God for in this rapid development of the work in these countries. This affords relief also to the General Conference treasury, permitting other needy fields to receive the assistance which has heretofore gone to Europe.
