ESTACAO SAO BERNARDO, SAO PAULO.—We have had our conference meetings in Rio Claro, an interior town, where Brother J. C. Kroeker and I have been following up the interest with considerable success. This, being my first series of meetings in Portuguese, marks the beginning of my regular evangelistic work for these needy people. I praise God for his great help, and for the signal manifestation of his power toward us.

It seems good to be back at my old work again, for there is a pleasure, enthusiasm, and depth of experience that goes with service for souls that nothing else in this world can bring, and the event is doubly joyous, as it liberates me from the enforced idleness of language study of the past year. However, I tried to improve my time in canvassing, and along with other books and periodicals, I shall have disposed of 150 copies of “Christ’s Object Lessons,” at $1.50 each. This has cleared our book shelves a little. But, as we have no schools here at present, the sale of the books does not help educational institutions in this part of the field.

This has been our hottest month, and, I am sorry to say, Mrs. Prener does not improve in health. Because of this, the brethren have thought it best that we spend a month or so where conditions will be more favorable. If this does not serve to build her up, it may be necessary for her to go to our sanitarium in Argentina. H. S. PRENER.
