Chile

By F. H. WESTPHAL.

WE had a good conference in Gorbea this year. Brother N. Z. Town gave valuable service in counsel and in other lines. The Catholic priest made a strong effort against us. He telegraphed to the intendente in Valdivia, and to the minister of justice in Santiago, to stop our meetings. A few days after the meetings closed, there was a procession, led by the priests, and Bibles and Protestant religious papers were gathered up and burned.
At the meeting in Gorbea eighteen were baptized. Since then I have baptized two in Bajo Imperial and two at Carahue. I have also organized three new churches,—one at Lavcoche, one at Temuco, and the conference church, composed of ministers and colporteurs who have no fixed homes, and the scattered believers.
Brother Santiago Mangold also baptized several in Iquique, and others are waiting for baptism near Santiago. The colporteurs are doing good work.
