Adventist Work in South America

IN sending greetings from Santiago, the capital of Chile, Elder F. H. Westphal suggests how important it is to push the work now in Roman Catholic South America, where just over three thousand believers face an unwarned continent: “The bishop of Santiago is becoming aroused. He lately published an article in the Mercurio inviting Catholics to spy out the places where Protestants are holding their meetings, where they live, and what books they are introducing into the country, in order that effectual opposition may be made. We know what that means. All the predictions in ‘Great Controversy’ will be fulfilled. We need to get ready for that crisis. A little later another article appeared in the same paper, and Seventh-day Adventists were first in the list of Protestant agencies mentioned. Our books are making an impression on the country, and we need to work while times are still favorable. May the Lord bless in raising money for the cause of the Master, and in developing workers to go into the fields.”
