Dear Brother:
We need thirty missionaries for the Scandinavian
Mission as early as possible in the Fall of 1891. As to
nationality and dialect, they should be divided as follows:
Danish, 8: for Stockholm and Goteborg, Sweden, 12; for
Skane, Sweden, 4; for Christiania, Norway, 6.
Our progress during the past four months,
has averaged that of the past two winters. A number
of the older brethren, however, have been unable to work,
owing to sickness, which has crippled our work some.
As far as I know; all are now well.
The present edition of the Danish Hymn Book is
nearly exhausted, and before a new edition is published,
the work should be carefully revised, which should be
done so that we could send it to press next winter.
I think this labor is of great importance, as it is a
fact that our hymns have a great influence in spread-
ing the truth, and numbers of people have been con-
verted by hearing and reading our songs. I suggest,
therefore, that a committee of interested and capable
Scandinavians be selected to do the revising, which, to
save expence, should be done at home in Utah, and the
work sent over here for publication. To make it what
it should be, there are a number of improvements needed
