Favorable Publicity for Lake Titicaca Mission

THERE has come to hand a copy of La Cronica, a weekly illustrated paper published in Lima, Peru, containing a full-page illustrated article dealing with our mission work at Lake Titicaca. In this article it is made clear that this mission work is being carried forward by Seventh-day Adventists, and the general tone of the article is favorable. It mentions, among other things, that under the influence of the mission the Indians have abandoned the use of coca and alcohol. This means much to the Indians, who are generally held in bondage to the use of these objectionable stimulants, and it is only the power of the gospel which has brought deliverance to them. We judge that the publication of this article will bring our mission work around Lake Titicaca to the favorable attention of a wide circle of readers in Peru.
