Because of headwinds the ship bearing Ellen White and her party did not reach Copenhagen until too late for a Sabbath meeting. But on Sunday afternoon the hall was well filled, and many stood as they listened with good attention to Ellen White. Her topic was “What Shall I Do to Be Saved?” Of the meeting she wrote: 3BIO 352.2
If I had not felt the power of the Lord sustaining, I should have felt discouraged. But for the thought that this would be the sowing of the seed which would bring forth good fruit, I should not have had any hope that our labors were producing results. But I was sustained in bearing the straight testimony. I had the assurance that Christ was by my side, inspiring my heart to utter the very message He gave me, and I was encouraged by Christ's presence. I felt a signal manifestation of His rich grace, and the interesting coincidences evidenced that the Lord Jesus was in the assembly.—Manuscript 67, 1886. 3BIO 352.3
At the Monday morning meeting twenty-four were present.

She divided the week in Denmark between the rather poorly attended meetings, her writing, and some sightseeing. [A report of her visit to copenhagen may be found in The Review and Herald, October 26, 1886.] On Monday, July 26, with Sara McEnterfer and W. C. White, she hastened back to Basel. After spending about a month at home, she was off again to attend the Fourth European Missionary Council, to be held at Great Grimsby in England. 3BIO 352.4
