The Message in Iceland

WE have before us continual evidence that the third angel's message is being proclaimed in the far corners of the earth. That evidence comes in more ways than one. But one of these lines of evidence is the multiplication of our publications in the obscure portions of the earth in languages seldom heard. We have before us the first copy we remember of having seen of the little journal that is proclaiming the truths of this message in the far, cold island of Iceland. It is called Frækorn, and is published weekly at Reykjavik. We can not read the articles, nor even be sure of the proper pronunciation of the letters of which the words are composed; but we do know that this is one of the “tongues” to which the bearers of the third angel's message were commissioned to go with that message. They have gone there, and the message is being proclaimed there by voice and pen and printed page. Lands obscure and forbidding, lands populous and inviting, and lands where priestcraft has made the pure gospel an outlaw—all are hearing God's last message; and in every land that message is finding some wheat, some gold, some pearls of great price. It is truly a finishing work, a harvest ingathering, and we are nearing its completion.
