Chile

By E. W. Thomann

AFTER returning from Argentina, I worked several weeks at Valparaiso, taking subscriptions for our missionary paper, Senales de los Tiempos. In one street alone I obtained over one hundred and twenty subscribers. If we had workers to canvass all the city, I think a list of two thousand subscribers could be secured.

At Copiapo, another town farther north, I labored a little over three weeks. I held meetings nearly every evening, and many besides our little company came to hear the word. There I obtained over two hundred subscriptions to the Senales.

The morning before I left, I had the privilege of burying a dear soul with her Saviour in baptism. The evening of the same day we celebrated the ordinances, six taking part.

At Chanaral, a little port town still farther north, I had, after two-days' hard work, a list of sixty paid subscriptions to our papers. The evening meetings were attended by a goodly number; but because of prejudice I must look for another hall. I am of good courage, and before I go farther, I hope, with the help of the Lord, to raise the number of subscriptions to one hundred or more. I have over seventy already.

Dear brethren and sisters who read this, the great day of the Lord is very near, and soon all that is of this world will come to an end. Let us, therefore, work, and pray that the Lord may soon send more workers into his vineyard. E. W. THOMANN.
