A Request for Scandinavian Young People
By L. H. Christian
THERE is not a State in the Union where we do not find some Danish and Norwegian young people that love this message. Many of these are working for our American Adventist farmers. Not a few of them belong to an American church, which is entirely proper. Our conference presidents, ministers, and church elders know many Scandinavian young people. Teachers in several of our schools know some students in their own institution that are Scandinavians and ought to receive an education that would prepare them for work among their own people. Very many of our Scandinavian youth are in our sanitariums. We are not finding fault with this situation. We are glad that we have a large army of Scandinavian Adventist youth in this country. We do not expect them all to attend our own school, or to engage in the Scandinavian work. However, we do greatly need more of them in our Scandinavian work and school than we have at present. God has given us a large work to do for the Danes and Norwegians in this country. The Lord is blessing what we are doing with our limited number of laborers. During the quarter that ended June 30 we baptized seventy-seven, and eighty joined the church in this branch of our work. But we greatly need more laborers both in this country and in Scandinavia. We ought to send some young, strong workers to Europe. For this reason we request our brethren who know of Scandinavian young people that might become laborers in the Scandinavian work to send us the names and addresses of these. We also request that our brethren encourage them to attend the Danish-Norwegian Seminary at Hutchinson. In a very marked manner the Lord's blessing has been upon this school. We have strong and experienced teachers. We teach the English as well as the Danish-Norwegian language, besides Latin and German. The school is not expensive. Any one desiring information should write to Elder M. L. Andreasen, Hutchinson, Minn. We would again request our brethren here and there to encourage young Scandinavians to come to our school and to remember the work for their own people. We should be very glad to hear from many.
