Ellen G. White in Europe 1885-1887

Visible Improvements in Copenhagen Church

Mrs. White was delighted to see so many improvements in the little Danish church. “What a great change in Copenhagen since we first visited them!” she exclaimed. Then she reminisced: EGWE 298.4

“Our meetings were held in a little damp hall.... Next our meeting was transferred to a basement. Above was a dancing hall and there were saloons all around us.... Nearly a year ago—July 17—I again visited Copenhagen.... We had a hall—an improvement upon the one we had on our first visit.... And there were more than double the number when we were on our first visit, and some of the best quality of people.... And now, June 4, we see many more who have been added to the numbers of Sabbathkeepers and our hearts were made glad to see a respectable, noble, intelligent class of believers assembled in the city of Copenhagen.... We could indeed exclaim, ‘What hath God wrought!’”—Manuscript 33, 1887. EGWE 298.5

And she added with a view to the future: EGWE 299.1

“And in this great city the work may still progress if the workers will not get above the simplicity of the work, but will keep humble and holy and dependent upon God.”—Ibid. EGWE 299.2
