Peru

By E. L. MAXWELL

E. L. MAXWELL
Last week Brother Stauffer and I went up to Lanca, a place about sixty-five miles inland from Lima, where our brethren are building a small chapel. We helped them on the foundation for a week. They have had some difficulties in getting the work started, but are forging ahead. We are hoping that they will be able to finish it in about six months, so that we may hold a series of services in it. Meanwhile, I am working with a lawyer here to get the privilege of forming a corporation so that we shall be able to hold property in the name of a legal body rather than as individuals.
We have had some blessed experiences with the special numbers of the Atalaya, having sold 6,900 copies of the three numbers without the least difficulty. I sold eighty-two in two hours, and my oldest boy sold 127 in about ten hours. All these were sold in Callao. Workers in other places have as good or even better success.
Our first general meeting in this union mission will be held in Lika in April, and we hope to see steps taken which will do a great deal for the furthering of the work, and for the unification of our efforts in the different fields of the union.
