On Monday, May 25, Brother Rutherford made the announcement that a Northern European office would be established in Copenhagen. This office would care for the preaching work in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. It was announced that Brother William Dey from London would supervise the work, and the brothers expressed their delight with this arrangement.

William Dey, the general manager of the Watch Tower Society’s Northern European office, spurred on the witness work. In September and October 1925, he traveled in Norway, organizing the work in the congregations in harmony with instructions from the Society’s headquarters.
