Northern Europe.

By John Gottlieb Matteson

The meetings are progressing here in Christiana as usual, with the exception that we meet only on Sabbath and Sunday, on account of painting and preparations for our new meeting-hall. It takes longer time and more means than we had expected, to get it ready. A week from Sabbath, the Lord willing, we shall be ready to begin meetings. Bro. Olsen, from Soderhamn, Sweden, is now here to attend the lectures, and become better fitted to help spread the precious truth.

A Lutheran preacher in Storfors, Sweden, has become interested through reading, and is advocating the truth. We have sent him a good supply of books. He can read English, and has most of our small English tracts.

Bro. K. Brorson is having some success in Denmark. A brother and his wife were baptized in Asaa. They have struggled hard to become settled in the truth, and are now happy in the Lord. The friends in Dronninglund Sogn now meet on the Sabbath, and Bro. Kristensen leads the meetings. Many doors are open for the truth. They are anxious to have me come over and help them.
