THOS. H. DAVIS

By Thos. H. Davis

From Peru to Chile

From Peru to Valparaiso we had a pleasant trip. I arrived at the school in Pua, October 22, to attend the canvassers' class, which closed the last of the month. There were six in the class, and they seemed to be filled with the Spirit of God, and were anxious to begin their work. Some of these have already had some experience in canvassing. The last Sabbath of the meeting will long be remembered because of the manifestation of God's Spirit among us. About the close of the Sabbath the canvassers met again to seek God under the dense grove back of the school building.

Soon after Brother Bishop and I arrived here in 1894, several accepted the truth, and to see some of these firmly planted on the solid rock has filled my heart with unexpressible joy. Chile bids fair for a good corps of workers in the near future. I expect to stay for a few weeks in the southern part of Chile, to see that the canvassers get well started in their different fields, then to go farther north to interest others in this work. After the Chilean conference my plan is to make a trip into Bolivia and Peru, and to return in time to spend about two months instructing the canvassers at our school before they begin their work. The school is getting a good start. Elder F. H. Westphal seems much encouraged with the native workers already in the field. We expect a quick work to be done.
