Our operations in foreign lands have been conducted on as large a scale as the funds of the Society would permit. We have sent out millions of pages of books, tracts, and periodicals, to India, China, Japan, South America, the Islands of the sea, Africa, Iceland, and other countries. This literature, we are glad to say, has met with a cordial reception, and the effort has not been wanting in gratifying results. The Spirit of the Lord has gone out before, and has impressed hearts with a desire to get additional light and truth. Thus the way has been opened for the work to move forward with success. (GCDB 121.3).

Excellent results attend the labors of our ship missionaries in Liverpool, New York, and Hamburg. We have recently furnished our missionary in New York harbor with a steam launch, which is a great help to the work. This branch of the missionary work should be carried on to a larger extent than it is at present. There are a number of large and important harbors where no effort in this line has yet been made.
