Items From Brazil

ELDER F. W. SPIES, under date of Aug. 19, 1915, writes concerning the publishing work in the Brazilian Union as follows:—
“The other day I summed up our sales for the first six months of this year. The grand total is $9,000 United States gold as against $6,500 for the same time during 1914. Last year the Rio Grande do Sul Conference sold $3,000 worth of the $6,500, leaving only $3,500 for the year center and north of Brazil; this year Rio Grande sold only $1,500 worth during the first six months, owing to the fact that about all their workers and canvassers were attending the three months’ institute. This leaves $7,500 for the center and north for the first six months, where last year they sold only $3,500 worth, a gain of 128 per cent. As one contemplates the condition of the country, the drought, famine, and financial crisis, and then sees such progress, one cannot but marvel. But then this is the Lord’s work. We are hoping to reach the $20,000 mark this year.”
