Ellen White: Woman of Vision

A Visit To Scandinavia

The summer months, rather than early winter, would have been more favorable to visit the countries of northern Europe, where the work of the church was developing quite nicely. But there was some uncertainty as to how soon Ellen White would return to America. So it was felt that the safest course was for her to visit the leading churches in Scandinavia at the earliest opportunity. WV 232.5

On October 6, just one week after the council closed, the party of four left Basel—Mrs. White, W. C. White, Sara McEnterfer, and Cecilie Dahl. Cecilie was from Christiania (Oslo), Norway, and would serve as guide and interpreter. It was an overnight trip to Frankfurt, Germany, then on to Hamburg. At Kiel, on the Baltic Sea, they took the ferry to Denmark. Ellen White found this trip through the northern countries an interesting experience. WV 232.6
