Peru

By F. L. Perry

LIMA.— We were much rejoiced a few days ago to receive a letter from Elder Burman, telling of the excellent camp-meeting in South Dakota, and especially of the gift of six hundred and fifty dollars by the people to send another minister to Peru.
What we have seen here of the working of the Spirit of God has fully convinced us that this field is ripe for the message, and that now is the time to strike for a mighty victory. Of those who formed the company here, some have apostatized, being led away by false teachers before we came; but we have had, during the last four or five months, an addition of twelve or more adults, who seem firm, also others are planning their work so as to keep the Sabbath.
Our night meetings are attended by from twenty to forty persons. Last Sabbath there were thirty-five. Our meeting-place is crowded, and we must look for larger quarters. Best of all, the believers are getting hold of the spirit of service, and are giving a knowledge of the truth all through the city. They are also sending out papers and tracts to other parts of the country. We must follow up where interests are awakened.
There are at least five other cities where this message is represented, and where we ought now to preach the truth more fully. But here I am in the midst of two hundred thousand people, hardly able to use the language, and with more work than I can do. Another minister is a necessity. We want to see the standard of truth quickly raised in every part of this darkened land. We are in our usual health, and full of courage to do what we can, and have faith in the final triumph of the message. F. L. PERRY.
