To the Danish Brethren.
By John Matteson
Some have complained, and thought the General Conference Committee did not do justice to us as a people, by taking me away from laboring among the Danes, and sending me to Kansas. I wish to say on this subject, that the committee has never done any such thing. They only permitted me to go, at my own urgent request. Whatever blame is to be laid on any one for this proceeding, must all be laid on me. I am willing to give an answer, and present my reasons for said enterprise, to those who ask me. I have indeed found the Conference Committee deeply interested in our welfare as a people, and trust, by their help and counsel, through the mercy of God, that the cause may be prospered also among us. Let us give those dear and tried servants of the Lord our full confidence and co-operation.
