BROTHER KETRING, reporting the work in Pua, Chile, says that their meetings among the English continue, and of the four families who attend regularly, two are obeying the truth. They have hopes for the other two. They are looking to the Lord for victory. Brother Ketring suggests that they need prayers, as well as men and means. Our brethren and sisters in these needy regions beyond should be continually held before the Lord in prayer. Their work is trying, and we may participate in their victory, if we will.

BROTHER I. G. KNIGHT writes of the interest springing up in his field. He mentions the meeting which he had held in a village where one of our brethren was working. The people were stirred by his godly life, and had bought a few books and tracts. Brother Knight says: “We found an intense interest—so that they begged us to continue meetings with them. A very intelligent Chinaman, who reads and speaks English well, with his wife and daughter, was much interested, and says that if we will build a church, he will give us one hundred dollars toward it, besides helping in the work of building it, as he is a carpenter. They have much to learn about the message yet, but they see the truth on the Sabbath. Another man in the company said, ‘I have been studying this doctrine for some time. I am now convinced that it is the truth, and I want to unite with your church, as you are the people who have the truth.’ One of our brethren who has known him for years says he is a good, honest man. So the truth is finding the souls who shall be saved; and our prayer is that the Lord will through his servants hasten the message.”
