IQUIQUE.—The work in this field is moving forward with some degree of prosperity. There are many calls for help, but the laborers are few. The Lord is especially blessing our paper, Señales, this year. Each month the receipts are more than the expenditures. For this we rejoice. When I was thirteen years old, I began my work in this message as a canvasser, and anything that pertains to the circulation of our literature always finds a responsive chord in my heart.

The young brother here who writes and translates for our paper sold over five hundred copies of the paper last month, and took two hundred new yearly subscriptions. This afternoon in four hours he took twenty-one yearly subscriptions, at one dollar, Chilean, each, besides selling a number of copies. There is nothing that so strengthens our work as the circulation of our literature. We lack books in the Spanish language.

The time is passing. It hardly seems nine months since we left Battle Creek, but such is the case. A few more fleeting years, and our work will be finished, and the blessed Lord will come.
