BUENOS AYRES.—Since my previous report, I have been out in the field, starting some of our canvassers. We assisted them in getting rigs with which to work, and they are now doing well. We have six regular canvassers at work, with a prospect of two or three more soon. I just received a report from one young man who has been working in Uruguay, with small books principally. In sixteen days he sold sixty-six books, value forty-two dollars gold. He sold and delivered as he went along. We find this the best plan among the Catholics, and especially in the camp where the colonists live long distances apart. This is not, of course, very big work, but for a beginner among Catholic Spanish colonists, many of whom will have to burn the books as soon as the cura (priest) learns of it, we think it not so bad.
We are anxiously waiting to see what further word we shall get in regard to the teacher for our school; hope he is on the way.
While on my last trip, I baptized four in one place. Two others will be baptized at the meeting in Entre Rios, if the Lord will.                    N. Z. TOWN.
