Medical and Missionary Work Among Indians

BROTHER C. V. ACHENBACH, of the Lake Titicaca Indian Mission, reports a little experience he and Brother Howell had among the Indians of a near-by tribe one day. Brother Achenbach says, “We arrived at ten o’clock. Soon the people began to come from all directions. Some were complaining of bad eyes, pain in stomach, bad teeth, headache, malaria, colds, and other troubles. We had thirty patients. When we had finished giving treatments, we were invited to dine with the chief. After dinner we called all the people together, and had a short religious service. I showed them the importance of the Word of God, and its power to change the human heart. All listened attentively. I told them Christ wants us to become acquainted with his Word, and that we had come among them to teach it to them. After the service we mounted our horses and returned home, realizing that the day had been well spent.”
