Our Return from Europe
By Arthur G. Daniells
AFTER counseling with the European brethren, it has been decided that the American delegates to the European General Conference should return to America about the first of August. One of the reasons for returning at this time is that we may attend as many as possible of the fall camp meetings. We have attended the European General Conference, during which reports were presented from representatives of all the European fields in which work is now being carried on. We are now visiting local fields, and attending their annual conferences. This is giving us a good opportunity to become acquainted with the openings and the needs of these fields. We are joining our brethren in different countries in a careful study of the steps that ought to be taken to hasten the work among the millions who are groping in darkness. When we have finished our tour of the different conferences, we shall once more meet the European General Conference Committee, and come to a definite understanding with reference to plans for a general forward movement. We can all see that our brethren in this part of the world must have help from America. An army of workers must come to these needy fields in which the providence of God has opened so many doors, and from which there come to us such pressing Macedonian calls. Our brethren in America, who enjoy so much liberty and financial prosperity, must share their gifts with those less favored in these populous countries. We shall take pleasure in laying before our brethren in the large fall camp meetings the results of our investigations in Europe. My object in publishing this note is to inform our brethren who are planning to hold fall camp meetings, so that, as far as possible, they can arrange for one or more of those now visiting Europe to be with them. We shall probably reach New York by August 6, and shall be ready for service. We ask your prayers for the prospering hand of God to be with us until our return.
