W. A. Spicer Reports on South America
This office as well as the church here at Mountain View was favored with a visit from Pastor W. A. Spicer, secretary of the Foreign Mission Board, on August 18, 19. Brother Spicer spoke to us of his recent trip through South America, during which he visited most of our more important mission stations in that field. The story of how the work is opening up in all parts of South America was both intensely interesting and very encouraging. The progress of our work among the Inca Indians is one of the most marvelous things connected with the advancement of the message anywhere. Brother and Sister Stahl, in charge of the work among these Indians, have won their confidence by the tender love that they bear to them, and the gospel message is lifting them from their filth and degradation, and making them strong men and women. When Pastor Spicer was here, he also conducted the funeral service of Sister Corliss, who was laid to rest in the cemetery but a few miles from her late home adjoining Mountain View.
