Chile

By Chas. J. Foster

It has been about two years and a half since we sailed from New York for South America. It hardly seems possible, the time has passed so quickly. We have not been discouraged since coming here, although our path has not been altogether smooth. We feel this is our home now, notwithstanding the people, the customs, and the language are different. We can now understand nearly everything the people say to us.
The work is growing here, although perhaps we have not made such bounds or had so many brilliant experiences as some in other countries; but the cause of God is moving forward.
It makes us feel sad to see so many returning home. Our young people must learn that the polish to mission life wears off in a few months. The work needs more of Gideon's three hundred.
The Lord has blessed us in many ways since coming here, and we are glad to have a part in his work. We have gained a number of good friends, and enjoy speaking a few words to them about the Saviour's soon coming and our Bible doctrines, whenever we have opportunity.
It seems as if the nations are about ready for their final conflict. One can not tell what this war between Italy and Turkey will lead to. Pray for the work in Chile. CHAS. J. FOSTER.
