Relief of Our Schools
405
The workers in England should make every possible effort in the
sale of this book, that a school may be established in that country.
My brethren in England, Germany, and all other European countries
where the light of truth is shining, take hold of this work. Let this
book be translated into the different languages and circulated in the
different countries of Europe. Let our canvassers in all parts of Europe
be encouraged to help in its sale. The sale of this book will do much
more than to aid in freeing our institutions from debt. It will open the
way for our larger books to find a ready market. Thus the truth will
reach many who otherwise would not receive it.
I appeal especially to our brethren in Scandinavia. Will you not

to the utmost of your ability to relieve the embarrassed institutions
in your field? Do not look on in despair, saying: “We can do noth-
ing.” Cease to talk discouragement. Take hold of the arm of Infinite
Power. Remember that your brethren in other lands are uniting to give
you help. Do not fail or be discouraged. The Lord will uphold His
workers in Scandinavia if they will act their part in faith, in prayer, in
hopefulness, doing all they can to advance His cause and hasten His

coming.
Let a most earnest effort be made by our people in England to
inspire their brethren in Scandinavia with faith and courage. Brethren,
we must come up to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord
against the mighty.
Remember that the nearer we approach the time of Christ’s coming,
the more earnestly and firmly we are to work; for we are opposed by
the whole synagogue of Satan. We do not need feverish excitement,
but that courage which is born of genuine faith.
Results of the Work
Through the work for the relief of our schools a fourfold blessing
will be realized—a blessing to the schools, to the world, to the church,
and to the workers.
While funds are gathered for the relief of the schools, the best
reading matter is being placed in the hands of a large number of
people, who, if this effort had not been made, would never have seen
Christ’s Object Lessons. There are souls in desolate places who will
