Life Sketches of Ellen G. White

A Remarkable Development

Mrs. White lived to see the day when a strong constituency of Seventh-day Adventist believers had been raised up in Europe through the untiring effort put forth by many laborers. She rejoiced over the prosperity attending many lines of work in the various countries, and over the reports of rapidly increasing numbers of believers, totaling in 1914 upwards of thirty-three thousand,—more than the entire number of Sabbath-keeping Adventists throughout the world at the time of her sojourn in Europe.

And great was Mrs. White's rejoicing whenever there were brought to her attention sample copies of books and other publications in the various languages of the European field, the product of many publishing centers, where was issued denominational literature with a total annual sale in 1913 of $482,000.
