DIAMANTE RIOS.—Another year has just closed. The blessing of the Lord has attended us all the way. Not only have our workers and young people made good progress in their studies, but souls not of our faith have been made to rejoice in the Lord and his saving truth. We have had six enter the Home this year who were not of our faith. Five of these made a start to serve the Lord, and took their stand to keep the commandments. The other student is very favorably impressed, and expects to return to the school next year. And so the work goes on. Although there are many discouragements to be met in a Spanish Catholic field, the Lord is going before us, and the battle is his.

One of the students referred to was, a year ago, one of our worst enemies. He attended a few meetings in the village where he was teaching, but only mocked and derided. Afterward he was led to read and study, and at last he closed his school, and came here. Point by point, he accepted the truth, and finally, after quite a struggle, found a personal Saviour. The spirit of derision is gone, and in its place is that of working for others.

Another was the daughter of a Baptist lady. The mother visited her daughter in the school, attended the meetings held in Crespo by Brother Town, and now mother and daughter are keeping the Sabbath together.

The blessing of the Lord has also been with us financially. The orchard, crops, garden, and stock are in good condition.

We are cramped for room, and have few facilities with which to work; but we are doing our best to make the work representative. Five or six students are crowded into one room, and our dining-room is partitioned off and used for bedroom, class room, and dining-room. We very much need more books in the Spanish language.
