General Meetings in Brazil

By F. W. Spies

FROM December 24-26 a general meeting was held in Rio de Janeiro and Nichteroy. The Sabbath morning meeting was held in Rio, but the other meetings were held in Nichteroy. For some time there has been quite an interest in this latter place. Friends of the truth, who are not yet obeying the truth, helped provide a hall and furnish it. But unfortunately we lack the workers to follow up the interest as it should be. The general meeting was a source of encouragement to the brethren, and we hope that we may soon have more help here. All our people are anxious to see this hope realized.

From Dec. 29, 1909, to Jan. 2, 1910, a further meeting was held in Rio Claro. The brethren at this place had long desired to have a general meeting in their city, and they made every effort to have the meeting a success. The evening services were well attended by the people of the city. Elders J. C. Kroeker and H. S. Prener remained to follow up the interest. We hope that some who, night after night, have listened to the truth will decide to cast their lot with God's people. At the meeting, instruction on various subjects was given to our own people, which we hope was meat in due season.

That the Lord's people may grow in grace and in the knowledge of the truth, and thus be prepared for Jesus' coming, is our ardent desire and prayer.
