deep and fervent interest in the salvation of men, the fallen inhabitants
of this world.—
Manuscript 65, 1900
.
A great work is committed to those who present the truth in Eu-
rope.... There are France and Germany, with their great cities and
teeming population. There are Italy, Spain, and Portugal, after so
many centuries of darkness, ... opened to the Word of God—opened to
receive the last message of warning to the world. There are Holland,
Austria, Rumania, Turkey, Greece, and Russia, the home of millions
upon millions, whose souls are as precious in the sight of God as our
own, who know nothing of the special truths for this time....
A good work has already been done in these countries. There are
those who have received the truth, scattered as light bearers in almost
every land.... But how little has been done in comparison with the
great work before us! Angels of God are moving upon the minds of

the people, and preparing them to receive the warning. Missionaries
are needed in fields that have yet been scarcely entered. New fields
are constantly opening. The truth must be translated into different
languages, that all nations may enjoy its pure, life-giving influences.—

The Call for a Broad, Substantial Work—The time has come
for much to be accomplished in Europe. A large work, such as has

truth shine forth from the press. Let the work of translating our books
go forward. I have been shown that in the European countries lights
will be kindled in many places.
There are many places where the Lord’s work has not a proper
showing. Help is needed in Italy, in France, in Scotland, and in many
other countries. A larger work should be done in these places. Laborers
are needed. There is talent among God’s people in Europe, and the
Lord desires this talent to be employed in establishing all through
Great Britain and the continent centers from which the light of his
truth may shine forth.
There is a work to be done in Scandinavia. God is just as willing to
work through Scandinavian believers as through American believers.
My brethren, bind up with the Lord God of hosts. Let Him be your
fear, and let Him be your dread. The time has come for His work to
be enlarged. Troublous times are before us, but if we stand together
