Swedish Missionaries in China
A WEEK'S conference was recently held in Stockholm of between twenty and thirty Swedish missionaries who were home on a furlough. They represented four different societies, and the conference was the first of its kind held in Sweden. The last evening they were invited to Prince Oscar Bernadotte's for tea, and afterward a prayer-meeting was led by the prince, in which the princess also took part. The first Swedish missionary to China was Eric Folke, who went out in 1887. To-day, after twelve years, there are 250 Swedish missionaries in that country. Of these about one hundred are sent out and supported by Swedes in America. Sweden, compared with its population, has more missionaries in foreign fields than any other country.—Christian Work.
