THE SCANDINA VIAN M1SSI0X. ss:, the Scandinavian mission to the gathering places of the Saints, since 1850. The number of missionaries from Zion who have labored as missionaries in Scandinavia since 1850, is upwards of 2 000, and some of them have filled several missions here. A host of local missionaries have assisted very successfully in the work of proselyting in early days. And the good work of bringing souls to the fold of Christ is still going on. During the first five months of 1909, 122 persons were added to the Church by baptism in Denmark and Norway and prospects for further increase are very good. At the present writing, Olaf J. Anderson is the writer and translator for Skandinaviens Stjerne, and Niels P. Nielsen, Jun., acts as secretary of the mission. James J. Larsen, of Logan, Utah, presides over the Copenhagen conference, Andrew H. Anderson, of Fountain Green, Utah, over the Aarhus, Isaac A. Jensen of Brigham City, Utah, over the Aalborg, Alma B. Larsen, of Salem, Idaho, over the Christiania, Enoch E. Christoffersen, of Le Grande, Oregon, over the Bergen, and Soren Andersen, of Centerfield, Utah, over the Trondhjem conference. [the end.
