Argentina

By J. W. Westphal

CONCORDIA, ENTRE RIOS.—I came to this place last night. About fifteen are ready for baptism, and four have already been baptized. This has resulted from work here begun by canvassers, and carried forward by them as Bible workers and preachers. They say there is a good interest besides. Nearly all are natives, and therefore they do not add much financial strength. Three couples who have lived together for years will be married, preparatory to baptism.

Several are also awaiting baptism at Rosario Lala, where we had our conference and camp-meeting in October, and I will go there from this place. Thus the good work goes on, and the truth becomes established in new places.

About the first of February I will go to Chile, to be gone till shortly before our South American Union Mission meeting, March 15-25.

Our brethren here are helping our brethren in Chile in the loss by fire. Already thirty dollars has been sent them. I have more than that for them now, and there is more coming. Some is also being sent to Brother Steele.

Three weeks ago Dr. Habenicht broke his leg, both bones at the ankle. He was on a reaper, and the horses ran away with him. His foot being cut and bruised considerably, his recovery is not so rapid as it otherwise might have been; but he is improving.
