Chile

By H. F. KETRING

NUEVA IMPERIAL.—I am now down on the frontier of Chile, in the south, holding quarterly meetings with the brethren, and visiting the isolated ones. It is about fifteen months since I was in this part, and they felt as if they had been left nearly alone; nevertheless they are firm, and are helping what they can in tithes and offerings. I baptized five, all converted from Catholicism. In fact, out of the fifty-seven that I have baptized in Chile and Peru, about eighty-five per cent have been Catholics converted by the third angel's message, and a very small portion, as you see, were converted from the Protestant churches. There are fifteen or twenty more who have asked for baptism, but we have to go a little slow with the natives.

Notwithstanding the fact that we have had so few workers the past year, the Lord has blessed our work, and I had the privilege of baptizing eighteen. About twenty-five, in all, have been baptized. To the Lord be all the praise. H. F. KETRING.
