Brazil

By F. W. Spies

THE general meeting at Uniao da Victoria, Parana, was held January 26-31. This meeting, although attended by but few more than the members of the Uniao da Victoria church, was a very good meeting, and it brought blessings that will be long remembered by all who attended it.
The attendance was about sixty, and Bible studies were given in three languages—German, Portuguese, and Polish. The meetings were held in the new schoolhouse which the brethren had recently built. Each evening a Portuguese preaching service was held in the theater of the town, which had been kindly furnished us free of charge.
On Friday, January 29, nine persons were baptized, one of whom is a cousin of the governor of the province of Parana.
We are glad to see that the construction of railroads is being rapidly pushed forward, and we hope that in the near future it will be possible to go by rail from Rio de Janeiro through the southern states of Brazil to Buenos Aires. All this means a more rapid spreading of the truth in this field, and a hastening of the closing work of the gospel.
