FANÖ HSFM 62

During the fall of 1877 I went to Fanö, a small island off the west coast of Denmark, and afterward visited the cities on the west coast. At Norby, the only village on the island, I hired a hall, and a goodly number attended the meetings. The authorities tried in every way to hinder my labors, but without success. When forbidden to take up collections, I requested one of the citizens to do so in my place, and all my expenses were met, except my time. When ordered not to sell tracts, I gave them away, and told the people they were at liberty to contribute in return as they thought best. No church was raised up here, yet some are rejoicing in the truth to-day who then first heard it. HSFM 62.4
