Chile

By Frank H. Westphal

PUA.—The work is opening up some among the Germans in this country. There were but few German-speaking people living in the place where we had our tent-meeting, so the attendance was not large. A few took their stand for the truth, and others are interested. Since we took down the tent, one lady has become interested, and has promised to keep the Sabbath. That makes nine individuals who are now keeping the Sabbath in that place. A young man visited us from another part, and remained to two services, and then invited me to come to his neighborhood to hold some meetings. I promised to do so. Since then I have received a letter, stating that they would be very glad to have me come, for they have but one or two meetings in a year. If the Lord is willing, I shall go there in a few weeks.

During the winter it rains almost all the time; this is a hindrance to progressive work here in the south. In the winter I can visit the churches in the north, and labor there, and during the summer I can push the work among the Germans in the south. There is work enough to be done, but how to economize the time, is the great question before us. Time is short, there is much to do, and the field is large. We must hasten to get the truth before the people.
