Help for Chile

By J. S. WASHBURN

The brethren in Chile have begun a small school in a temporary building. They had about one thousand dollars in gold to build with, two plows, and a yoke of oxen. Their field demands a school in which they can take twenty-five or thirty students. Their resources are small. They will build very cheaply. A portion of the two thousand dollars which has been appropriated for the publishing and school work in Chile will be devoted to this school.
The larger part, however, will go to help the publishing of the Spanish paper, The Signs of the Times. It has had a most remarkable circulation, and has accomplished much for the truth. But they greatly need new machinery, and it is believed that, with a little help, this publishing office may be self-supporting.
As is well known, almost a duplicate of the terrible disaster in San Francisco was experienced last August in Valparaiso. The mission office, dwelling, books, and furniture were destroyed. Two thousand dollars seems a very small contribution, when we consider the great need of the work in Chile, and we feel certain that it is a call that will appeal to the hearts of our brethren and sisters who are responding nobly to the appeals on the $150,000 fund.
