DIAMANTE.—The school work here is progressing nicely. I have six classes daily. The students are all glad to learn more of the truth. Our program is much the same as at College View, but of course we lack the facilities possessed by that school. The bill of fare is purely vegetarian. Among the natives bread is a rare thing. Some of our canvassers have told me that for weeks and months they see no bread, only mate—a kind of tea—and meat; a few roots being cooked with it. But among the people there are many earnest souls who must be gathered out, and we are willing to labor earnestly to win them to the Master. We shall have a camp-meeting near Diamante in a few days, which I expect to attend Sabbath and Sunday.

If our people could but realize the needs of our foreign fields, they would manifest more interest in them. We have suffered some from the dampness in our needy home, but spring is coming on now, and it will be more pleasant. The outlook for a harvest is good this year. My time outside of school hours is spent in planting and gardening.

Our papers are welcome visitors. I shall be glad to tell more about this field later, through their columns.
