Peru

ABOARD THE “AYSEN.”—We have left Callao, en route to Mollendo and Arequipa, with Elder and Mrs. W. R. Pohle and boys. They, with Brother O. H. and Sister Maxson, arrived in Callao last Sabbath, all well, and I assure you we were glad to see them. I had been in bed part of the time for three weeks, had got run down, and had stomach trouble. But, thanks to God, I have been gaining some for about a week. Now that we have some help, and I can get out of Lima for a short time, I think all will be well soon.

I only wish it were possible for the brethren in the States to know how we look upon the arrival of more help, and what joy it gives us to see them when they really get here. I wish we might thank each one personally who has assisted by his means to send them into this field. I am sure if you knew how anxiously we waited for them, and what joy it has given us to see them, you would feel repaid. It will not be long till all the new laborers will be telling the truth to the people, either by letters, or by literature sold, or by the spoken word. Our prayer is now that those fields which are still waiting, with tired workers calling, may be as liberally supplied.

Also, I wish to express my thanks to all who helped to raise the money for the organ for this mission. It has not yet arrived, but I assure you that many will be taught to sing praises to the true God, by our having this instrument. It seems as if our every wish had been supplied. And now we ask for your prayers, that we may all make the most of our time to finish this work.

Our book sales have passed the fifteen-hundred-dollar mark in gold since April, and all the boys are still at it. I baptized two men the first of November, and there are quite a number of others to receive the rite who are scattered around, and whom I can not visit this year.
