Of friendship on the part Of the many
SCANDINAVIAN Saints In the west who,

The lands Of their birth and were now
located among Gods people In the
Rocky Mountains Of America. The
speaker was numbered among those
WHO when very young, left his native
land to emigrate to America; but
though he had learned a new language
and had become deeply imbued with
he spirit manners and customs of his
adopted country his heart still beat
warmly for the land OF his birth, and
when he became acquainted with the
fact that a mission house and a meet
ing hall was wanted In Copenhagen,
be together with thousands OF others,
felt himself willingly responding to the
call for help 10 erect such a building,
and he hoped that the people of Dem
mark soon would become better ac-
Quanted with the religion. morals and
objects Of the Latter?day Saints, and
Judge them according to their real
merits and not according to the base
Hes and misrepresentation which had
been circulated about them.
The exercises, which lasted nearly
two hours, were closed with prayer by
Elder Peter Christensen.
