Scandinavian Mission.

By Editor

ALL will be pleased to learn that the recommendation of Bro. White is being promptly acted upon by our Scandinavian brethren, to raise means to assist Eld. Matteson in publishing the present truth in Christiana, Norway. Bro. John F. Hanson reports as follows from Iowa:—

“I have recently held eleven meetings with the churches at Elkhorn and Altamont. In these meetings I have tried to raise some money for the Scandinavian mission, in accordance with the testimony from Bro. and Sr. White. Feb. 9, the Elkhorn church pledged for that mission $408, a part of which is paid, and also voted to send for a set of Sr. White’s books to keep as a church library.

Feb. 15, 16, I was with the brethren at Altamont, where they willingly pledged $76 for the same mission, and paid a part of it. We thank the Lord for this liberality and love for the good cause on the part of these two churches, and hope and pray that the rest of our Scandinavian churches, as well in Iowa as in any other State, will show the same love for their own brethren.”
