Excerpt from Improvement Era, Vol. 29: June, 1926During the past ninety-six years the restored gospel of Christ has been preached in both the old and the new world without serious governmental Opposition, or objection on the part of the people at large.From the time of its introduction into the Scandinavian. And other countries of Europe, people who, appear to have been prepared for the gospel before they heard it have joyfully accepted the message which the elders of the Church have carried to them, and the converts who have been gathered out from among those nations have become a. Pillar of strength to the Church.To our surprise and regret the. Friendly relations which have so long existed have recently become greatly disturbed, because of the fact that: our missionaries have been refused admittance to Norway, where, before, they had enjoyed the privileges accorded to other religious Organizations. Upon inquiry regarding the reason for this changed attitude we were informed that representatives of the Christian churches of the country, in convention assembled, had passed resolutions to the effect that the Mormon Church is not a Christian organization, and consequently we were not entitled to the privileges, and protection under the law, which we have hitherto enjoyed.Our protest against this ruling was answered by the statement that the only means by which it could be modified would be for a con ference of churches to assemble. And officially declare that the jury, which, without having given us an opportunity to be heard in our own behalf, had decided that we were guilty, must meet and reverse the decision which they had rendered, a court before which we could ex pect no more justice than was accorded the Redeemer of the world, when arraigned before the Jewish Sanhedrin.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
