Adventist Work in Ecuador
By T. H. Davis
GUAYAQUIL.—Since Brother Casebeer's arrival, we have been conducting meetings in one of his rooms. The editor of one of the leading dailies has put in two notices of our meetings, without charge. He offers to help us in this way. We are about to enter the rainy season, so we all expect to visit a cooler part of Ecuador, inside of a few weeks. Brother and Sister Casebeer are doing well with the language, and can now make themselves understood. After the rainy season, we expect to return, and follow up the interest begun. We are in need of a small press, to print tracts, and perhaps a paper a little later. We have the donation started here, and are writing to our friends to help us. We are so far from the States and from Chile that it is very unhandy to get the desired reading-matter. Once a week we have a study on the prophecies with a few interested ones, who seem to take a great interest. Yellow fever is prevalent here of late, and there are two or three deaths each day. Smallpox also takes off the same number daily. The Lord be praised for keeping us in good health. At the last congress a bill was passed that all business must be closed on Sundays. So you see that freedom is having its limits here as elsewhere. May the Lord soon finish the work on the earth, is our prayer. T. H. DAVIS.
