South America

By J. W. Westphal

WHILE I was in Chile, the work was well organized for another year's campaign , with good prospects. Yet when we consider the field our cry is still, More laborers. By all means we should have an ordained minister in both Peru and Ecuador, to follow after and unite with the colporteurs in the field. And then there is Bolivia without a laborer. There are but two ordained ministers in the field, — my brother, Elder F. H. Westphal, and Brother Thomann, and the latter is editor of the paper.

In the River Plate Conference the work is going forward. The young men who have gone out from the school are doing well. The reports show that since the first of the year fully twenty-five have begun to keep the Sabbath, and the work is getting a foothold in new provinces and important centers. These young men are willing to work, and work hard. Brother Ernst, who has gone to Paraguay, reports some people interested there. J. W. WESTPHAL.
