MISCELLANEOUS

By General Conference Committee

To the Danish Brethren.—A few words of explanation are due you relative to the mission of Bro. Matteson to Missouri and Kansas. Some of you, as we have learned, have felt grieved that, when there was but one man to give himself wholly to labor, who can speak Danish, we should take that man from you and send him on a mission to those who use the English language. It is necessary therefore to state the fact that though Bro. Matteson had our free consent to go on his present mission, he did it solely on his own impression of duty, and not at all by our conviction, or request. It would have been our minds that he should labor with the Danes had he not expressed so strong a conviction of duty to change his field of labor as he has.
