School Work in Europe

ELDER L. R. CONRADI writes of the work in Europe as follows: “I’m glad to notice your interest in our European educational work. The more our work develops here among the different nationalities and tongues, the more important it is for us to train native workers. It is difficult for our American brethren to master these languages sufficiently to do the work required, so the chief burden of spreading the truth must be carried by the natives themselves. As our leading teachers in Europe can all read the English, there is no need of any translation.

“We have given considerable thought to developing the school work; and considering the limited means at our disposal, I think we have been reasonably successful. I am glad to receive good reports from our school in England. Professor Salisbury yet needs some good, consecrated helpers. In Germany Brother Lupke is struggling with seventy students, and in general our school is turning out quite a number of workers. In fact, we have room for only those who are come with the idea of fitting themselves for the work. We are now trying to sell ‘Christ’s Object Lessons’ to obtain means to erect another part of the building for chapel and recitation rooms.

“I have just finished a successful trip to Russia. Six or seven students are coming from there, representing the Russian, the German, and the Esthonian languages. Our school is full.”
