WE have received the General Conference Bulletin, and very much enjoy reading the proceedings of the Conference. Of course we wait with interest the report of the committee on plans and recommendations for the mission fields, as we can not fail to note, even in the earliest record of meetings, that the center of interest in the Conference was the mission fields.
May 29 I had the privilege of baptizing three dear souls into the message. These new believers are chiefly the fruit of the labors of Elder Victor Thomann, who has been holding services three times a week in our meeting-room. Others are convinced, and after a time they will probably follow in baptism.

Miss Hansen is nursing the wife of a missionary from the United States, of the —— denomination. This couple are very friendly to us, and I am having some long talks with him about the truth. These do not cut off his friendship in the least, although he seems to be strongly entrenched in modern scientific (so-called) religion, which is really skepticism concerning the divine authority of much of the Bible. I hope that he can be reached, but I think it will require more than argument, and even more than a “Thus saith the Lord,” to turn him from his error. However, as long as he is friendly, and we continue to visit each other, there is hope. I had written only a part of the foregoing, when he called, and we have spent two hours discussing man's existence after death. He has been here three years, and has the language well learned. We have been acquainted about five months. Pray for him.
Miss Nelson is still at the school, but will probably come here soon to begin her work. Misses Kerr and Brockman left the school about two months ago, and have gone to Montevideo, where they have been working some since, and studying the language.
The weather is cold here now, and we feel it, on account of the dampness of the climate, and the lack of comfortable heating stoves, such as are used at home.
