The Danish Monthly.

By James White

The enterprise of publishing the truth of God for this time in the Danish language, conducted principally by Eld. John Matteson, a native Dane, is one that should claim the attention of all the friends of the cause.

Our brethren from the Danes and Norwegians are manifesting becoming interest in this valuable periodical, in subscribing for it for themselves, and for their friends. The number of subscribers at this date is nearly four hundred.

We have printed of the first number nearly nineteen hundred copies, and shall print the same of the second number, in the expectation that active measures will be taken, not only by our Danish and Norwegian brethren, but by our American brethren and sisters, to extend the circulation of this magazine as widely as possible.

The price is only one dollar a year, or per twelve copies, each containing twenty-four pages, besides a neat cover. What we most want is the names and addresses of about nineteen hundred of those who can read the Danish print. Next, we want about $1900 to meet expenses.

Let our Danish and Norwegian friends do what they can to obtain subscribers, and, as far as possible, send the pay for them. And let the American brethren and sisters also send us the names of the candid in the community in which they live who can read the Danish print, and send the pay for them as soon as possible. Very many of these honest and industrious Danes and Norwegians will rather pay for the monthly than to receive it free. And to make up the deficiency, there will be found of the Danes, Norwegians, and American friends, a host who will contribute the mite. God bless the noble enterprise.
