Peru

By F. L. PERRY

The readers of the REVIEW may be glad to know something of the progress of the work in Peru during the year closing Dec. 31, 1907. Peru is a strong Catholic country, and there are but few Protestants within its borders.
It always takes considerable time and much expense to get our work started in a Catholic field, like Ecuador and Peru. However, it will be noted from the following statistical report that Peru has not gone backward in any particular, but in all items has made some gain. To our kind Heavenly Father, who has led us all the way, is the praise and glory.
We trust the prayers of God's people will be united everywhere in behalf of the work in this benighted region.
We here give a comparative report showing the exact condition at the close of 1906 and at the close of 1907:—
1906—Churches, 0; Members, 0; Companies, 1; Members, 20; Isolated, 2; Total, 22. Sabbath-schools, 1; Membership, 25. Tithe, $220.01.
1907—Churches, 1; Members, 19; Companies, 4; Members, 29; Isolated, 2; Total, 50. Sabbath-schools, 4; Members, 37. Tithe, $329.21.
1906—Offerings, $77.45; Book Sales, $159.41.
1907—Offerings, $115.43; Book Sales, $437.93.
