Laborers for South America

Two weeks ago a company of missionaries left New York on the steamship “Celtic” bound for South America, by way of England. Elder J. H. Boehm, of the Clinton (Mo.) German Seminary, and his wife, under appointment to the Brazilian Union, will probably labor in the Sao Paulo Mission for a time. Brother and Sister Boehm labored in Kansas before entering the German Seminary. In their farewell visits among relatives in California, services were held nearly every evening, and as a result several embraced the truth and were baptized. On returning to Kansas, Brother Boehm was ordained to the gospel ministry before leaving for his new field.
Accompanying Brother and Sister Boehm, Brother John Schmidt, of North Dakota, upon his own charges goes to Brazil to assist in the canvassing work. Having felt the call, and having had success in the book work here, he volunteers for this needy field, trusting God to open the way before him and give him success as he studies the language while working among the people. In this we can heartily bid him Godspeed.
A. R. Dennis, who has been attending the Foreign Mission Seminary the past two years, under appointment to Uruguay, sailed at the same time. Brother Dennis will also engage in the canvassing work.
