Chile

By Frank H. Westphal

PITRUFQUEN.—We are plodding along in this country, and some souls are being saved.

You will remember that in one of my reports I mentioned the throwing of dirt in our faces and the hurling of stones at us, during a baptism. When one of the women who participated went home, her husband gave her a whipping, and said he was ashamed of her. The Catholic priest made some of his members do penance. They had to crawl around the church on their hands and knees. The priest was ashamed of his own members, and so humbled them in this way. At this writing we are called to baptize several souls at that place. The truth is onward.

In the north I baptized six persons, and several others have received the rite since, and others are waiting for a minister to visit them, so that they may be baptized.

After I had spoken on the United States of America in prophecy, one man said that he had never heard the "Monroe doctrine" explained so clearly before. Everything that comes from the United States of America is the Monroe doctrine to the people here, whether good or bad. F. H. WESTPHAL.
