By A. N. Allen

PERU.— Though we have had wars and rumors of wars, and fightings within and without, God has blessed his cause in this land of the ancient sun-worshiping Incas. Thus far thirty-four have been baptized this year, all but one coming directly from the Roman Church. A Dominican friar has just left the convent, and expects to sell our literature. A minister and his wife, formerly of Colombia, unite with us, and ask to be allowed to carry the message to unentered Colombia. Recently in Puno, Brother F. H. Stahl, of Bolivia, and I were met by crowds of Indians carrying flags, and hundreds came out to hear the Word, coming for leagues over the Andes Mountains and across the plains. Large numbers escorted us from one town to another, and I even preached in one Catholic church. Fifteen of these Indians were baptized. Brother Stahl asks to be relieved from the superintendency of Bolivia, in order that he and his wife may give their lives to this needy people. Drops of the latter rain are falling in Peru, the sealing work is fast closing, and we feel that we shall soon be at home.
