AN EFFORT IN CHILE.

By Ed. W. Thomann

SINCE the earthquake of the 16th of August, which ruined so many thousands of the costliest buildings and destroyed many human lives, the people, at least some of them, seem to be a little more willing to hear something of a place where one will be surer than on this earth. Making the best of the opportunity, we had 30,000 copies of an earthquake special of Las Señales de los Tiempos (Spanish, the Signs of the Times). Our people and many others took hold of the work, and are selling them. One brother took 10,000, another sold 740 in one day, others sold 500 and more in a day; so we see we need a second special, which, with the Lord's help, we will issue, hoping that much good will be done among the people by these papers.

Our office was reached by the fire the morning after the earthquake. About $500 worth of books were lost, yet we are of good courage and see already that the loss in money will be repaid by souls. If only one soul may be saved because of the earthquake that will be a million times better than having had no financial loss.
