Book Work and School Growth in Argentina
By N. Z. Town
BUENOS AYRES.— We are doing what we can to get the book work started. Most of our prospective canvassers are still in school, so we have only a small force at present, but we are making a beginning. I recently spent a week canvassing with a brother in the province of Santa Fé. Our route lay among Italian colonists who had settled in that region only last year, so they felt rather poor. But the Lord gave us a fair degree of success. The outlook for the work in this field was never more encouraging, notwithstanding the failure of crops, and consequent hard times. Our school has the largest attendance it has ever had, and more are expected soon. There are at least eight young people in the school who are preparing to enter the work. Most of these, if not all, will canvass. The medical work is also being blessed of the Lord. As we are now right in the time of wheat sowing, we have proposed to the brethren that they put in a crop for the Lord, to help in starting a medical institution in this field. About one hundred and thirty acres of wheat and flax have been promised toward this. Dr. Habenicht has the Spanish language sufficiently to be able to take his examinations. N. Z. TOWN.
