Argentina, South America
By C. E. Knight
Our union conference meeting in Chile was the best of the kind that I ever attended. The hearts of all the delegates and workers who were privileged to be there are greatly encouraged. Certainly all are better prepared to go forward with their work than ever before. We have just planned to open work in a new field, a portion of the conference that has been untouched, lying to the south and southwest. In some places the financial conditions are much better than they were last year, the harvest being good, while in others the condition is worse. I am hoping for a better tithe this year than last, when we went behind a thousand dollars. The political conditions in the world are intensely interesting from the viewpoint of our message, especially those of China. We would be skeptical if any one were to predict such changes a year or two before they take place; yet they come to pass, and we look upon them in a matter of fact way, having become accustomed to what we formerly thought impossible. Our work is progressing well, considering the few laborers we have. Here in Buenos Aires some are constantly becoming interested, and we have baptisms quite frequently. Eight or ten persons have recently requested baptism. I am glad to know of the progress of the truth in all lands. This success is truly an encouragement to us to hasten forward the message.
