Another Worker in the North Brazil Mission

By F. W. Spies

We are glad, and we believe that all our brethren will be glad to learn that our working force in this vast mission has increased to two. Since the organization of this mission a year ago, I have been the only worker in this field, spending about half my time here in Rio, and the other half in looking after the other interests of the field. Now I can at least feel that while I am away in other places, there is some one here who can look after the interest.

Brother Camillo Jose Pereira, the native brother who has been working as colporteur and Bible worker since April 1, was formerly a Baptist, and has now been keeping the Sabbath about a year and a half.

In February we printed a special number of the Arauto da Verdade, our Portuguese journal. We printed fifteen thousand of this, whereas our regular edition is usually less than two thousand. Quite an interest was taken in this special, one not very large church ordering three thousand copies. We are still doing good work with this number here in Rio, by going from house to house selling it, and thus the way opens to get acquainted with interested persons and hold Bible readings with them. We feel encouraged; for the work is onward here. F. W. SPIES.
