A Call from Peru

By W. A. R.

SENOR EDUARDO F. FORGA, of Arequipa, Peru, who has been for several months in Europe in behalf of the religious liberty and health reform movement in South America, is in Washington for a few days in the hope of securing some helpers for the South American field.

Brother Forga recently accepted the truths of the third angel's message while in England, and is returning to his native land with a desire to see these truths which we love, carried to the people of our sister continent.

While he was in England, Brother Forga was married to Miss Marguerite Lacey.

For six years Brother Forga has been superintendent of mining interests in the Andes of South America. During this time he has been a strict vegetarian. His spare moments have been given to the preparation of various documents and pamphlets devoted to health reform, of which he has published over forty, varying in size from one-page leaflets to booklets of one hundred and sixty pages. These have aggregated over two million pages in all. He has borne the entire expense of this himself, in the hope that his fellow countrymen may be enlightened on this important subject.

Brother Forga is now looking for medical missionary helpers, both doctors and nurses, who will join him in this great work. In this department, under date of January 3, we called attention to openings in this field in an article from “Ariquipa, Chile.” This should have read, “Arequipa, Peru.” Brother Forga's work in this country has done much toward opening the way for our medical missionaries. Who is ready to step in and reap the harvest of this abundant seed sowing?

These two laborers are leaving soon to carry on their work in South America. They are in need of help, both doctors and nurses. They report abundant openings for work in different countries of this continent. Who will say, “Here am I; send me”? W. A. R.
