Chile

VALPARAISO.—I have now been in Chile a little over a month, again. The work goes on. We are all of good courage. Though we are so few for so great a field, yet we hope that the Lord will soon raise up new workers and send them to us to help give the truth to a country unprepared for the coming of the Saviour.

We had rented a house for office and printing room. But the Lord helped us to find another better situated, cheaper, and more suited to our needs. One of the six rooms is large enough to hold meetings in. The new location is near the center of the city.

We hope that a good work can be accomplished here at Valparaiso. Satan is striving very strongly against us. This gives us courage, because we know that he would not work so against us if he were not fearful of losing some of those he counts as his. We are confident that with Christ on our side we shall gain a victory to the glory of God and for the good of many souls.

I have worked some with our Spanish missionary paper, Señales de los Tiempos (Signs of the Times), and have already taken eighty subscriptions in one street, and have strong hope that I may make the full one hundred before I finish on that street.

How I long for more workers! Brethren, where are they who love the Lord? Let them go to work. Not every one need be a preacher. We could use to good advantage one hundred, yes, a thousand, colporteurs, paper agents, Bible workers, etc. If I could, I would be glad to tell every brother and sister in the States that the harvest is waiting for laborers. Go out to reap. Jesus calls for you all.
