|. The missionary efforts Of the Mormon
Church In foreign lands began about
1887, seven years after the organiza-
tion Of the church, when two apostles,
Heber G. Kimbali and Orson Hyde,
and several elders went TO England.
In 1s4O these missionaries were reinforc-
ed by twelve, others, and the operations
were extended to, Wales. They met
with opposition, especially v in the cities,
but were in other parts remarkably
successful. This was, particularly tho
case in ,Herefordshire, where, whole
villages and churches Of the United
Brethren with their pastors, it is said,
went over to Mormonism. At the end
of twelve months they, had formed
three eonft:rences, and numbered 1000
members,. In Juee 1910, the first COM
panyi at Mormon enaigrahts, 81 in NUM-
Der, sailed for America, and before the
year closed a thousand moro followed
them. In 1850 Mormon missionaries
began working In France, Germany,
thc Scandinavian countries, Italy,
Switzerland, and the Sandwich Islands.
In, 1852 they began their labors in the
West Indies, British. Guiana, Gibraltar,
Matta, South Africa, Ceylon, Hindu
stan, Siam, China, and Australia. In
1854 they .cndeavoretl to enter Prussia
and Austria, but were rrovented by
the government. .-as 3D.. .rG :! -if
During the past five years over 500
NJ ormon missionaries have been sent
out, an average of 1GO a year. About
29O went to various parts of the United
States, 22O to Great Britain, ia to
Scandinavia, II to tho Sandwich
Islands, and 13 TO New iceland.
There are about 400 missionaries in
the field all the time. AS result OF
tifcir labors the annual increase to the
Mormon church is about 1000, aud
assistance from the Perpetual E,nigra-
tion Fund is rendered to the amount
of about S60, ,000 a year, which is re-
turned to the fund by the eInigrants
