Moliendo 13, 1923 H.k. Colburn Puna Dear brother: Just a line today. I rece ived your telegram stating that you was sending me an important letter. I guess it was the pasporte that y® was sending- I received it OK. It is that of brother Field. Farther than that I did not receive any letter. Hope the stahool has started offwell and all is well in your part of the country. We have put up to Portugal that we wil make the trip thathe desires providing that he will aguarantee the sale of five morotcycles with in the space of three months. Also that he provide us food and logging on the trip and also that in case we can not possible ma.ke the trip over the roa-d that he will pay half of all expenses in getting the machine from Puno to here and on the trip. I do not know thathe will accept. The trip he desires made -is one of about 40 legues and over some one to take his place at the Pomat mission. I am glad to know that brother Schwerin has ta,ken the matter up with the Puno office and that you have already seen the Prefect and that the prefect is doing all po sible. I think the best thing to do is to let him do his best first and then if need be we will appeal to the Lima government. f I would be glad if you would send me on the next mail to Moliendo a roll of letter heads and second sheets and 50 envelopes. I need these the worst kind. I have been out for som time. Send on next mail to Moliendo.

Golburn Puno Bear brother: — Dr. jchnston has just send me a telegram stating that bruther Schwerin is in trouble and that Briseño had delivered him two telegrams one to the president and one to Poindexter. I have notified that the doctor hold these two telegrams and that he not send them on to LimA. I have ask him to investígate the difficulty as much as possible even te, sending a speqial messenger to Piata to find out just how serious the matter was. I would be glad that you investígate the matter all possible. I will send •a telegram from here to Schwerin to find out -if possible what is the matter. Of course we aught to do all we can to help. There are oertain ways to go at the matter and we should follow that route. Brother Schwerin should not be sending di^ect to l/ma. 'I am held responsibie in a way for the Lake Pield’and I feel that in matters of that kind I should be consulted. N^t that it is respect to me but if a man is responsibie for a thing he should know what the thing does. Besides brother Schwerin is not known there and what g*ood would his telegrams do. Then besides that Poindexter should not be brought into a matter of this. kind üñless it is a matter of life and de^th. Life at stake. That is the life of an American. He has- nothing to do with thesfe little sublevations. Then besides that Puno should be consulted first. We* should give the Prefect at Puno an opertunity to give garantías and then if he refuses we have a right to appeal to Lima. So I have ask the doctor to hold up the telegrams and to notify you and would like for you to take the matter up with the- Prefect in Puno and let him have the opertunity of doing all possible for us. He has st?ted that he has been told by LeGuia while in Lima this last time that he must give full gatantias to the evangelista. He has also stated that he is ready to do that. So I think he will give all the help needed. That will be better than to take the matter to L.ma. It seems Schwerin has tried to ^et the authorities to send the telegrams. T at is out of the question. We are to pay for and send- what we send to L.ma. I hope the matter can be investigated and that all oan be done that is necessary to do to hold down that station and to keep order there. I fear that the members are not in a very good condition to help out and be united in a time of this kind. My I wish we had some one to put there for a while, especially in the absence of brother Schwerin. I hope that all has gone well at the school Bnd all wi 1 go smoMhly. We aught to do all posa, ble to make this a big year ánd a good summer school. I am sending you the inverntory that we have taken and the valúes that we llave placed on the articles. We may nave' made soma mistakes in valúes but I think it is -quite cloes to the valué. I hardly think they are too high. I am having a copy placed in each kitchen here and one at Tingo so that any one at Tingo coming here-might know what they would find at this place. You will see t.at i have bought an icecream feeezer. I b ught one for six soles. It is a very good one for -the money and comes in handy. We surely have be en eating icecresjn here. Can get ice next door and so it makes it very handy. Should the unión complain about this we can pay for it among our selves. I hardly know why they should complain after we have saved over 1000 soles in the last-two years by having ^ooms. Brother Beens has been staing here in the little room at the back for a week. We let him have the room at three soles per week. I think that will be ablut right to charge. He prefered even that room to the hotel. H.s wife did not gain at the ho^el but even in that rooái she has gained two pounds in a week. Sincerely-your brother Mwnux' ¿uuíuuu ata xionoraoxe Concejo Provincial de Juliaca. JULlACA. S. 1.

CABLE ADDRESS "ADVENTIST" WASHINGTON Eider E. H. Wilcox, Casilla 28, Puno, Perú. Dear Brother Wilcox: While I was attending the Southern Oregon oampmeeting I had the privilege of meeting your mother. She was there for some two or three days dur~ ing the meeting. I was glad to meet her. Of course, she was deeply interested in your work. Just before leaving the grounds, she gave me fe to hand to you when I should reach South America. This was a personal pre-sent to you from her, and not to be counted in any way on the mission offerings. Now inasmuch as I am not returning to South America and will not have the privi-lege of seeing you there, I am mailing the same to you herewith . You will notice that the check is drawn for 810. fe of this is the money from your mother for you personally. The other fe is a donation from one of our sisters requesting that I devote it to some special purpose in South America. She did not want it swallowed up in the general mission funds, ñor to be counted as a part of the appropriations. Now I do not know just what the greatest need is, but I thought of your field and am passing it on to you with the request that you invest it in some mission enterprise in your field that is not provided for in the budget, where it will be a real bles-sing. The sister who gave it is a cripple. She only had $20 in the wide world, and devoted fe of it to this purpose. I wish you would tell me what you are using it for so I may report to her the purpose to which it has been devoted. Well, Brother Wilcox, I shaU be glad totear from you occasionally and know how the work is going in that needy field. I want to assure you that eventhough I am no longer connected with the South American E. H. Wilcox, -2- Division, my heart is still down there and I am deeply ínterested in the work that is being carried forward, and I shall look forward with pleasure to hearing frorn you and reading the splendid reporte of the work as it goes forward there. How is Sister Wilcox’s health? I trust that you both are getting along nicely and that the Lord ie especially blessing you. With best wishes to all the workers, and Christian love, I am, Sincerely your brother.

Tambiezn deseo avisar a Ud. de que estoy muy contento por la ayuda que Ud. nc.3 hi prestado en los sucesos de Ereos. Tengo que avisar a Ud. de que la señor de Elvin se encuentra muy inferma. .11 señor Elvin con su familia estaban para subir de Arequipa el do a del presente pero al 31 de deciemhre la señora de el se puso muy inferna. ella eegue as?, todavía. Esta mapana recibí telegrama de el avisándome que ella estaba moribunda. Nosotros sinüimos esto mucho. Ella tuvo una operación en Arequipa y parece que ha sido con malos resultados. ds por lo que he explicada que el señor **lvin no lia regresado. No queremos que algunos piensan que hemos abandonado el lugar por esto no es cierto. Es por causa de la informidad de la esposa de hlvin, que no haya alguno en nuestra misión en Urcos ahora. Esperamos que va a mejorar pronto la señora de Elvin y en caso al contrario mandaremos otro liara cuidar la misión por el momento. .Deseamos que todo esta tranquilo y de que Ud/ personalmente se encuentra bien de salud. Megustaría recibir una carta de ud. de vez en cuando si es conveniente sabiendo de esta manera de las condiciones actuales.

Colburn, Casilla 85, Puno, Perú. Dear Brother Colburn: I have before me four letters from you, all of which I have enjoyed very much, in spite of the appearances to the contrary. Just a few days ago I returned from Brazil expecting to have an operation for appendicitis right away. While in Brazil I suffered five very serious attacks, one of which nearly cost me my life. I ara trying to rest up and get a little strength preparatory to havinga^séance with the surgeon in Buenos Aires. My sickness in Brazil c&ferae a great disappointment. 1 had made up my mind to try to collect an amount equal to $5>000.o/a in the Harvest Ingathering before the end of 1922. During the last month, however, I was often unable to work more than two or three hours a day. I worked nearly as far north as the mouth of the Amazon river which is, you know, very near to the equator. The hot weather and my enforced fasting weakened me to the extent that I lost fourteen pounds and I was unable to put in full time at the work. I am thankfulj, however, that the Lord helped rae to collect an amount equal to $2706.15 o/a. In your letter of October 2 you mention having sent me a copy of "Puno Briefs”. I have enjoyed reading them very much. In fact, Brother Colburn, I have been telling the folks in various parts of South America about your Puno Briefs. I believe you folks have the right idea. I know of no other conference paper or any other conference organ which to my mind can compare with your Puno Briefs in the matter of getting just the desired Information to the fields and in the brief-est possible way. I hope you folks will continué this plan and that other fields will follow your example. I have been greatly interested in the accounts you have sent of the various baptisms. Surely the Lord is doing marvelous things in that field. Yes, it does seem to me that to baptize 267 candidates in one hour and fifteen minutes is surely a new "altitude record”. This reminds me of a statement Brother Steen made while we were in Brazil. In referring to our Indian work in Perú, he said, ”Now, Brother Cone, is it not a fact that you take a great crowd of Indians down to the Lake, push thern all in, and then cali them brethren?” It is amusing to learn the opinión that some have of our Indian work. I believe, Brother Colburn, that you had the privilege of examining the manuscript for the new book for the Indians which Brother Wheeler prepared. Really I believe that the Lord helped him A. G.

I believe, Brother Colburn, that you had the privilege of examining the rnanuscript for the new book for the Indians which Brother Wheeler prepared. Really I believe that the Lord helped him H.M.C. — 2 in a special maimer in preparing this. It is so different from any-thing we have in the denomination and yet,so far ahead of anything we have or that I had dared to expect, that you can be sure I am very much elated. This book, when printed and well illustrated with colored pictures as we are planning to have it, is going to be a marvelous sellen not only among the Indians but in all Spanish-speaking South America whereQever children are found or older ones who cannot read or write. Now this brings us to another subject. What are the plans in your field for colporteur and home missionary work? Now that some new territory has been added to your field, it seerns to me that there are wonderful prospects there for literature work. Our annual sub-scription business for "Atalaya” is growing in the most encouraging manner. One of our agents, a man of fifty-five or sixty years,recently secured a subscription from the president of Uruguay. In one day he secured fifty annual subscriptioñs and another day he secured ninety-one. While those were exceptional days yet he has done fine work right along. Other agents in other localities are also doing fine. The new book "Our Day” is also going nicely. Eider Westphal’s son, a boy about seventeen years oíd, sold thirty copies of this book in three days in a town near Buenos Aires. This isfan^ordinary record but I refer to it because it is his first experience in the colporteur work. When I think of the Harvest Ingathering campaign, the Big Week, our Atalaya work, this new book for the Indians, and the other literature work, I am indeed anxious to see you folks lay definite plans to have a man to head up this work in your field. According to the cable we received from there saying, "Can use Replogle in lower altitude", I thought perhaps you might be planning to put him into departmental work. I believe you could do nothing that would so build up and strengthen the work in your field as to do this very thing. I believe also that Brother Replogle will make a good man for this work. I am very sorry that I shall not be able to visit your field in company with the other brethren at this time. I may be able however, to visit your field a little later in company with Brother Everest. In the meantime I trust that plans may be made for securing a man to head up the homepiissionary and colporteur work in your field. I wish, Brother Colburn, that you would kindly pass this letter on to Brother Wilcox. Inasmuch as I am crowded for time I will ask you to consider this as a letter to both of you. I received Eider Wilcox’s letter of October L|. and note what he says regarding the advisability of having a complete list of the words used in that book translated into Quechua and Ayrnara. I have not yet talked with Brother Everest regarding this matter but suppose you have made the same suggestion to him. Closing this letter, I want to wish you all a very happy and prosperous New Year.

January 15, 1923. CABLE ADDRESS 'ADVENTIST" WASHINGTON TELEGRAPHIC ADDRESS "GENERAL CONFERENCE' WASHINGTON. D C Mr. Harry M. Colburn, Puno, Perú. My dear Friend Harry: Your letter I found waiting me upon my arrival at the office from a long field trip, and it was read with the interest which always attaches every letter coming to me from you or Gussie. This field trip to which I refer took me as far north and west as Lacombe, Alberta, Cañada, where I spent the Week of Prayer at Canadian Júnior College. Oíd Man linter has his headquarters near by, I guess, for a breath from his nostrils chased the mercury down to about forty below while I was there. I don’t suppose it ever gets as coid as that where you are, even on the mountains, but they are so wind-swept that the coid is even more difficult to be endured, no doubt. The coldest days and nights in Alberta are very still. I found that none of the coid of the atmos-phere had penetrated to the hearts of the young people, however; for they are just as warm and cordial as any I have met anywhere. The Lord carne very near to us and hearts were touched. Many renewed their consecrations to God and twenty-four, I believe, took their stand for the first time. On this trip, going and returning, I visited sixteen of our academies and colleges. I wonder if you have heard of the burning of the boys’ dormitory at Cedar Lake? This was the house we used to cali the ”Jack and Jill House,” that stone house on the same side of the Street as the Academy building. It was a severe loss to the school. I visited Cedar Lake the day the students were returning from the holiday vacation, however, and found Professor Simpson and his Faculty quite courageous as they sought to make adjustments looking toward the carry-ing forward of the work this year. They are having a splendid attendance at Berrien, - over four hundred actuallv present. The enrollment is about four hundred thirty or forty, I think. The foundation is in for the new chapel building which stands directly across the road from the College. The music building stood there, but they put it on rollers and slid it a little way to the north to get it out of the way of the chapel. H.M.C. -2- I turne! your article over to Mise Clement, the editor of the INSTRUCTOR, who received it very graciously. She aleo told me that she would be glad indeed to receive contributions from Gussie along the line of letters to a school boy. She remembered very well the series, ‘Letters to a School Girl. ” I was personally interested in your recital of your trip along the Lake. I can safely say that there is no mission field at the present time which awakens such an interest in my own heart as the Lake Titicaca Mission. I suppose one reason for this is from the fact that so many of my personal friends are directly connected with the work there. I think those pictures you enclosed are good, and no doubt some of them will be use! to i Ilústrate the article. I hope you will remember me with a picture of the new normal buiíd-ing as soon as one is taken. I take it from the fact that you mention no serious up-rising in your last letter that things have quieted down a bit in this regar!. Is Brother Stahl down on the eastern slope working among the raw natives there? Eider Montgomery spoke of his opening up work there in an illustrated lecture I heard him give recently in the Washington Sanitarium Gvmnasium. By the way, Miss Martha is writing this letter for me. She said a moment ago that Sister Field was her church school teach-er once upon a time. What is South America’s loss is North America’s gain in the holding of Brother Montgomery to this very important administrativo position. I know his heart is still in the work there, and no doubt South America will be given even greater consideration than here-to-fore from the fact of his sympathetic interest in the great Neglected Con-tinent of Opportunity. I am sure if Lela were here she would be glad to sen! her love along with mine. She is down in the city this afternoon. Is looking and feeling well. Says she never felt so well in her Ufe; and when I asked her why, she said: •’Simply a matter of contentment. n It seems mighty good to me, I can tell you, to get anchored in a home once more with a loving companion who not only meets every possible desire, but anticípates them.

NUMBERS, ASSISTANT SECRETARY MRS. J. W. MACE, OFFICE SECRETARY Home Missionary Department OF THE General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists TAKOMA PARK, WASHINGTON, D. C. TELEGRAPHIC ADDRESS ••GENERAL CONFERENCE" WASHINGTON, D. C. January 17, 1923 CABLE ADDRESS "ADVENTIST” WASHINGTON Mr. H. M. Colburn, Casilla 85, Puno, Perú, S, A. Bear Brother Colburn: I think I wrote you some time ago, but perhaps you did not receive my letter. I will be very glad if you will place ny ñama on your Mailing list for the news letter which you get out there from time to time. Send it to me at Takoma Park, c/o General Conference. I am now here at the office looking after the details of the work while the general secre-tary is absent on a trip into the field. Mrs. Peterson and little Betty are here with me and we are living in a suite of rooms a few blocks from the office. Suitable living quarters are acaree here and rents are very hig^i. If we remain here in Takoma Park any length of time we hope to secure in some way a little place of our own. I was very sorry to learn day before yesterday of the death of Sister Elvin, and I have written him a letter this moming expressing my sympathy for him in his bereavement. This carne as a great surprise to us, not knowing previously of her illness. I would be thankful to you to know some of the details of her illness and death. I suppose, of course, that he will be returned to this country with his little children before very long. Although, of course, I know of no action in regard to the matter, but expect that in due time a request will come through the División for his retum, as I do not see hcw he can remain there with those two little children with no one to look after them. This certainly is sad. As far as my knowledge goes this is the first wife of any of our missionaries who has died in that field. I know several have lost children and I think a brother from Argentina who worked in your field some years ago, died on the coast of Perú. Is Brother Beplogle still with you? I understood some time ago that he had rece ived word that his wife would only live a short time in Argentina, and that he had left his mission station so as to be with her. In a letter received yesterday from Brother Wilcox he spoke of Brother Beplogle using the motoreyele at times, and I have been wondering whether he is still in the field. H.M.C/-2- I was glad to learn from Brother Wilcox the great progresa which is continually baing made there, notwithstanding the savere persecutions and efforts of the enemy to break up our work. Our people in this country are great ly interested in that fie Id, and we rejoice with you in the larga number of baptisms for last year. I shall be interested to hear the full number for the year. Now I assure you, Brother Colburn, that I shall appreciate your sending me your little news bulletin from time to time as it is issued. In this way I will be able to keep in closer touch with the work in your field, and as questions come up for consideration here in the committee I will be able to put in a good word for you more intelligently knowing how things are going there. Trusting all is well with you and your family, I remain, Yours in the work EFP:Q 17 de Enero de 1913 A los de la Parcialidad de ANCASAHUACASI, Azangaro. Muy amigos nuestros: Es ta certifica que Uds. por medio de un mensagero, Uds. nos hani informado de las dificulatades que han venido como resultado de de haber construido una casa para una escuela evangélica.» 4Noso-tros sentimos mucho que haya levantado estas diflealtades, y que Uds. tienen que pasar por tales pruebas, pero es cierto, que des de que hemos empezado a trabajar entre los indígenas al rededor del Lago Titicaca, se han levantado unas pequeñas dificultades, Nunca faltan personas que no quieren ver a los indígenas gozar de todos los ^privilegios de una escuela buena como son las es* cuelas evangélicas, y por no desear ver a los indígenas instruir se, les fastidian. Pero esto no ha de durar mucho tiempo, no-sptros pode os asegurarles que los ayudaremos a Uds. en todo lo que sea posible. Cuando los indígenas nos convidad de entrar en cierto lugar, y establecer una escuela, nosotros entramos en el lugar con garantías del Supremo Gobierno. La Educación vale sin s cue cualquier otra cosa en todo el mundo, y la educación mejor es la ue ensena en cuanto del Dios verdadero. enseña a uno a llevar una vida mas limpia, llevar una vida más recta, tratar con aror a sus vecinos, respetar a las auto ridades, cumplir las leyes, llevar una vida más sana, y una vida mas feliz, esto es lo que nosotros desea os enseñar en cualquier lugar, y si establecemos una escuela en su lugar sera con este fin. Estoy manifestando al hermano Kalbermatter de ]^aro, las dificultades que les toca a Uds. a fin de que cuando el regrese de Arequipa, les pueda ayudar a Uds. en todo lo que sea posible, y no solamente esto, pero si siguen estos abusos, estoy para poner en conocimiento de esto al Gobierno Supremo, a fin de que tome todas las medidas necesarias a fin de terminar con las dificultades. Sin más por ahora,' me despido de Uds.' deseando que Uds. están u-nidos, y de buen ánimo y con buena fe en el Señor Jesucristo y que Uds. puedan ver este año, en su medio una buena Escuela Evan gálica Su amigo en la fe de Jesucristo, W/a. GENERAL CONFERENCE OF SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS ■ TAKOMA PARK, WASHINGTON, D. C. OFFICE OF TREASURER January 18, 1923. Eider H. M. Casilla 85, Puno, Perú, Colburn, S. A. Dear Brother Colburn: — Yours of the 22nd ultimo cañe to hand this morning, and I have tried to ascertain what happened to your order for a copy of Hill’s and Pord’s Spanish Method. I find your original order, the letter from D. C. Heath & Company, my letter of inquiry to you and your answer, but here the chapter seems to end. I do not find any further letter from us to D. C. Heath & Company and I cannot find where we renitted any money to them. Viere it not for the fact that you state that you have been charged for the book I would conclude that we failed to order it after receiving your letter of January 29, 1922. As it is, I am ’up a stump and do not know what else to do but to re~order the book for you. This I have done this afternoon. I would be glad to have you let us know when the charge for the book carne to you and what the amount of same was. This will help us to lócate our payment if we can know the amount we are looking for. We have quite a volume of work to go over to lócate any charge which may have been made to the South American División Conference. We regret the possibility ’ of our having failed to pass on to D. C. Heath ¿ Co. the Information contained in your letter of January 29, 1922. Such mistakes sometimos happen with us in spite of our efforts to avoid them.

C. 5TH EDIT10N Western Union 5-letter Jan. 50, 1925 Mr. H. M. Colburn, Casilla 8% Puno, Perú. Dear Brother Colburn: Answering your letter of November 17. In this you mention your desperate need for mission station men. Today, in our executive committee, it was voted to ask two young men in the Argentino to respond to your cali. I believe that Brother Stevens is well acquainted with both of these men. Their ñames are Francisco Brouchy and A. R. Dennis. I shall not write you at length concerning them, more than to say that I expect them to be in your field before many weeks. We were sad to learn of the death of Sister Elwin. These are sad experiences for the thin line of workers who are trying to hold the advance posts. No doubt you have received our cable in which we ask you to return Replogle as soon as possible, with the plan that he shall return to your field in June. Sister Replogle is very anxious to return and we believe that a furlough of five months for Joe will do him good. We are hopeful that we shall be able to give you a special appropriation for your new training school. We are anxiously awaiting further word from the General Conference. Hoping too for the pleasure of seeing you before many weeks, and with sincere regards to all the workers in that field, I remain WHW-mc Sincerely yours, Jonuary 31,1923 Señor L.L.Clark, Moho,Perú. Bear Leaant;- It is aoout time for you to return fnoa your vadation so will begin to write you acout things of the Mission. I am passing along a slip Ohat has come to hand from Honorato Bailón which we do not feel like paying. Do you know arything about a oill that he had paid himself on that side of the lake. Pleade give us any Information that you may have. You may wond er why I wrote to mother and not you about the four hundred soles. 1 only though that she could tell you just before your vacation was ended and then you would hot have this extra worry just as ±hx you were finiohing up. I tlyjught you could know it Just before coming up the hill.Piense sport this against your account on the next report made and al so the s/165.00 which is charged to Branch Cash.

January 31,1933 Home Missionary Dept, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C. Gentlemen: I acknowl edge your favor of the 39th inst and have pleasure in enclosing herewith, catalog of the Neracar together with a copy of the folder describing the recent transcontinental trip of Cannonball Baker. I am happy to advise that we have sold a number of Neracars to missionaries for use in the foreign fields and from the letters we have received, our machine is exceptionally well adapted to this clase of service, particularly as the broad fenders and the manner in which si 1 of the moving parts are enclosed makes it possible for the rider to travel in ordinary costume as it requires no special clothing as is the case in the conventional tyne of motoreyele. In addition to this, the low center of gravity of the Neracar makes it very well adapted to the rough uneven and narrow roads in the many places where missionaries must travel. If you were in a position to use a number of Neracars, we would be agreeable to quoting you the lowest export price, providing machines were shinped to countries in which we had no agencies. Up to the present time, our sales efforts have been concentrated on the European and far eastern countries and we have done nothing as yet in México, Central or South America. We have recently complete! a contract covering the Dominica Republica so it would be impossible for us to quote you on machines for use in Santo Domingo. Our price to you for the Neracar boxed for export f.o.b. rail New York City is as follows: Neracar with luggage carrier Neracar with luggage carrier and seoond brake, hand controlled $152.50 ISO.00 Approximate weights and measuremente: Machines Net Weight Groes ^eight Cubic in “box in lbs, in lbs. Feet 1 190 385 45 2 380 S85 73 I would appreciate it very much if you would advise me the countríes in which you are interested and the approximate number of machines you would possibly wish to purchase during 1923. I will require this Information as the output of the factory is practically sold for 1923. Beginning the middle of February and running thru to July, there will be a very heavy drain on us for machines for use in the domestic market and it will be necessary for us to take care of our dealers during this period so if you wish to purchase a number of Neracars, it would be necessary fbr us to know the quantity and the approximate delivery dates so that we would be in a position of looking after your requirements and assuring you of deliveries. All Neracars are sold cash against shipping documenta, New York City. If payment was to be made from Washington, it would be possible for us to obtain the exact charges for transfer from rail to boat, cost of consular invoices etc and ocean freights, after which we could advise you and you could remit to us covering the entire cost. We would then arrange to ship machines thru to destination. Trusting I have given you the Information re-quested but assuring you it would be a pleasure to answer any of your questions, I am, EKG:NSB Yours very truly, January 31,1923 deñor W. W.Wheeler. Arequipa,Perú. Bear Brother Vheeler:- With this I aia sending a freight for the flakes which I sent you and also a set of croquet bilis and mallets. These belong to the workers and are for general use. I really believe that it might b better to use four halle and latsfcer when these were in bad shape use four others.This money was raised among the workers and 1 have had it in charge for one year. I ought to have sent the bilí sooner but was away for a few days. In answer to your letter of Novmber 30 will State that the ñame of Maria L.Morales de Santillana is on our oooks and she is a good and faith-ful member.Demetrio Peralta is not on our oooks out the ñame of bis mother Petronila Peralta was fcken in at the beginning of the churoh here. As far as we know she is faithful although she does not often attend the Services here.She paye tithe,takes our papers and buys three or four quarterlies for the family each quarter.I understand that the ooy does not work on the Sabbath but do not have personal knowledge at this writing. Your order for papera carne to hand and these were given directly to Brother Mohr and he sent the arder at once.lt was a bit later to start with the January Atalaya but he mentioned starting with that numoer. Your courteous and Christian reply to my rather sarcastic letter carne to hand.I wish to assure you that I harbor no personal feeling -and shall be glad to see you when on the way to Moliendo next Wednesday.l will pasa directly to moliendo but shall plan for a short time at Tingo on the return.^e may not be able to get the same viewpoint of things but we can at least work together as bethren.

Casilla 252 Arequipa Perú February 2, 1923 Eider E. H1 Wilcox Casilla 85, Puno Dear brother Wilcox, Your telegram was received too late Wednesday to order the calamina that day, but you will see by the enclosed slip that it was ordered yesterday. They promi sed to get it to the station yesterday in time for the train leaving this morning. Hope it will be received in good time. They promised it at the same $3.00 price per sheet. In the list of expenses caused by the death of sister Elvin I should have included a mattress. The one that was on her bed had to be burned. If the Misión Lago Titicaca will furnish the wool we will see that it is washed and made into a mattress here. You can buy the wool cheaper up there thay we can down here. To make a good mattress will require 40 kilos of wnwashed wool. It will weigh much less once we havé washed it. Because of a telegram received yesterday, Bro. with family Kalbermatter plans to start back^to his field tomorrow. Through others I understand that the Clark family will reab. here from Moliendo this evening. In this same mail I am sending first fánancial report of the Arequipa group to brother Colburn. Seems good to have headquarters a. little nearer. www All well. Best regards. Yours E. H.

Feb. 3, 3 Sñmo, H.li. Colburn Moliendo Lear brother; — I will write you a few linee today and get off in the Sunday*mail. I guess you know by this time that I have been in Arequipa and the results of my visit there. I feelthat if we get the mules we have bought well broke that we will have a very good team for the farrn. I bought me a horse for I felt that I must have one béfore beginning the summer or winter work and just as soon as possible I will send my mulé to Urcos and there let brother I&áinger use her and hope to se 11 her there. That way I will be able to pay for my new horse. I also bout a little báslce which I hope may serve as a mi salón horse for Puno. Has a good pase and young and good. Fvery thing is moving fine at the farrn and the school and all seem to be satiéfied. Brothei? Mann is á good teacher and taking right hold. Brother Thompson is doing fine also. W e now have the valley finished between the two roofs and the rain can nat get in. The valley surely is a good one and well plced. We are working roads there every day now. We have fourty boye working four hours a day on the roads every day. We hope* to have some good roads out to the place. Brother Millers horse makes a fine cart Jdorse and is making the trips to town with the cart right along now. B rother Alberto Santallano and his family is leaving Us for good on the Sunday train. It makes things a little hard here in the office but hope we will get some one to take his place soon. I am now doing the dispaching and the like. Also feeding horses. When I am not here my wife is doing it. We had no trouble about the matter but for some reason he ask to be red&ased and I thought test to let him go if he felt like he would like to leave. We wish him success and hope that he will prove true to the truth where ever he may go. I have taken about enough of his things to pay his debt. I would like for you to look over the young man ¿n Moliendo that desired to work for us. I think is ñame is Cardones, You know the ne. that I was talking about, His ñame is J. Leónidas Cárdenas. How I think that it would be best not to arrange with him for work just now but to look him over and consider for your self his ability and see what you think of the fellow. Personally I would rather have the Germán that is up at Urcos if he would be the right kind of a man and line up right. i feel that he isa more energetic and more able fellow and yet willing to sweep floors and do most any kind of work. I do not know how the • • Cárdenas boy would te on sweeping floors and keeping things in good shape around the office. Then too we have a risJfi to run in that perhaps he would not be able to live he re. Look him over and see- what you think of the man and I am get ring in touch with the Germán on the matter and when yoi re tur n we will decide as to which we feel would be the best for the place, We do not want a dead letter in the place but should have a live wire. D emetrio peralta has backed out on teachihg in the school. He, says hé is afraid that he will not be able to do it. so I guess we can not count on him for the place. I do not think thet he would serve as a helper in the store either for he would want one of us to sweep the floor for him every day I fear. I su cose they have t,oíd"you of the new that two workers will soon be here to fill vacancies. Both are from Argentin. One man and his wife are now on the way and another fatnily wrll soon be on the way. The man is an american but-has an argentin wife. They will not have to learn spanish but can entex* on the ir duties at once. I am sujrely glad for this good news. With this help I feel that we will be able to handle the work here thi-s year, Eider Stevens knows nothing about this as yet. Brother Williams passed the goce word on to me in a re cent letter. * ■ ’ ■ * I will cióse for this time and hope that all is well and that you are mfetking the best of your vacation.

Voted that .brother Schwerin be allowed the loss rported on exchange for 1'22, (This matter was seriously discufc&ed bou.se this amount was not rported before the Huancané books were closed and audited in Qctober.Another action was taken asking our hission directors watch their exchange so as to avoid loss to the Aission and where there is a small loss that it be rported in the month which it nxxuxxtópt occurs.) b-hission boy Huancuné. Voted that G.A.bchwerin be allowed Inocencia ^aroa for a . isoion bey, órLatcr the matter of work to finish one room and a shed for fuel and girls room was consider* ed.As the amount for work as rported during the months of hovember and iecemoer was sufficient to cover the work done that the us/230.00 for labor during the first part of January be ngt^UJL&wed until a full report be Pr'-S%^ed..^..

Regresando de una visita por el lado de Huancane y Umuchi, he notado que en ellos se siente bastante la falta de lluvias; parece que todo va a ser un ano muy malo; pero por esto nosotros do debemos desanimarnos, porque la Biblia enseña que han de ser todas estas cosas en el fin de este mundo, y mas bien esto debe enseñarnos a entregarnos más complejamente a Dios En cuanto a las vacaciones para su esposa^ deseo avisar a Ud. que nosotros no hemos cambiado el plan, y su esposa tiene complejo derecho de bajar a Tingo con sus hijos, y también ella puede ir a doliendo si desea o quedar en Tingo. Ud. tiene el permiso de bajar a Arequipa para ayudarla con sus niños, si Ud. desea. Supongo qu en este tiempo será algo difícil hallar lugar en la casa de Tingo, pero creo que pueden arreglar para ella de alguna manera, y creo u que si ella baja ahora mismo sería mejor.

Wilcox;- Just a line to let you know what I think about the change you are asking me to make. First of all I want you té know what I think about the way you went about it to malee the change. As I look over i the whole thing And as I see the things that have been done to mqke the move I can see very plainly that it was all amalee up Job and that you played very unfair with me. It all to me seems underhanded. I did not want to move from the first but as you explained to me the economical conditions as how it would be impossible to have another worker at the farm I finally consented to make a change aithough as I said I did not like to take a Job where my wife would have to work so much as she would ofeourse have to do on any statión. But now as I see how you liad planned all the time to put another man in my place and how as soon as you could get me away you took him there and placed him ih the position I do not feel that I am in duty bound to go to a station. Bro. Wilcox you know that I have not been in the habit of fighting tooth and nail for the things that I have wanted but have done as near as possible all that has been asked of me. I feel now that I have been very deeply wronged and I want _ i t rightnow I do not plan to te11 you frankly thaü H. M. COLBURN E. H.

Feo. 14, 1923 -/<’IMO. Dear brother Colburn: — I will now answer your letters and let you know how things are going here. We are well and every thing in very good shape. I have be en in Juliaca all the time since you left. I think that we have bcen aole to get a few things accomplished. The gutter in the center of the house is nearly in and I think that it is in in first class shape. I think that the house rent is paid up to the 22 of Feb. The rate is 42.00 soles per month. I paid for lights for three months also at the rate of 5 soles per month. I paid 15 soles for lights and 126 soles house rent» I visited Demetrio Peralta yesterday and arranged for hiM to teach in the Puno English Scj.ool. He was very glad to have a position with us again. He was a little afraid that he wuld not know how to do the work but I ássured him that sister Colburn would be glad to give him any help possible. He seems anxious to learn and.I think will be a better teacher than Victor. I have noticed ictoís teaching and can not aay so much for it. He never prepares a lesson and follows the system of reading the lesson over to the boys and then telling them the lesson and if any time is left asking a few questions. I talked with him some about it but do not know that it will do any good. I did not arrange with Demetrio as to the wage leaving that till a programe is made out and we will know how many classes he will be expected to carry. I arn not sure that I will be able to write out letters and matricúlate students. Should I find time I will be glad to do this part but I am snowwd under with work and will have to go to Juliaca again Sunday and then brother Mohr will arrive Wed. and I will have to talk some things over with him and so I can not assure you that I will find the time to matricúlate. I will do all that I can however and will perhaps try to arrange with Demetrio to do some of that work. I would hate to see your boys miss school so would suggest that you send them any way. If it is possi ole for you to do so you could pay for one ad let both attend. This of course would be special to you because of your wife teaching. I paid over 4oo soles duty of packages today my cookesrs arrived and also those you ordcred. Tires ofor 2 the motorcycle also arrived. Packages for you and x’ield and ^illers and ahout all. ¿.very thing caiae with a fine hecause of not having the consular invoice. On cookers alone I had to pay nearly two hundred soles fine. I wil 1 write ¡bo the company that I ordered from and ask them to send a consular invoice. You can write to your company and ask for the same. I got a refund of fifty nine soles today on goods you had received a consular invoice for and had made a reclaim I will not take up more of your time today and so will cióse. Sincerely your orother - ■' - Sebe 19, 1923 oiíf qjj fsa bnja \ybruj8 moil Mow & nwob onioo aso Bear 'brother'Uanní *- >;rr/: acó :.^A .•.-i-„-. I will write you just a few linea and let you know that all is well here and that we are busy. Brother Ste^ens left this svening for La Paz. . 0 - I am sending a cñanin and two oleveses for the the fam and aleo á thing to faaten the iron on to the be&m of the plow so that the plow can be used. I though with a Chain you-eould pulí the plow easier than with a tongue. I aleo sent some bolts so that the plow can be fixed up. I think that in road working that it will be well to make a drain ditch as brother Thompson hás suggested about the first hing perhaps. I did not get to see the Alcalde about the work of the boys I could not find hija. I think that it might "be well that you go to to /n and take Dr. Johnston vith you and have a talk with hia about the matter and take their papelitas along and find out what he dcsires that you do with theia and al so what they are going to get in retum for the Mips. Aloo fiad out if those from other parte will get credit for their work here. Aleo find out what can be done for the boya that have not sigse d up as yet for service.

Señor ¿.H.Wilcox, Puno,Perú • f Bear Brother I/ilcox:- (ino. Pebruary 22,1923 You will find enclosed with this a copy of the minutes as far as I have written them. There will be about ano#her sheet but do not have all the Information.These inelude the Union actions accepted,some committees,acceptance »of the requests made by the school board and so forth.I will write these on my return to Puno. This little machine does fine but for heavy work like the minutes the work is really too heavy.I would be glad to have you go over tle se and if some things are Yound that are not of the right wording we can add a note when we finish this set.I will write out a copy of the actions which we wishedreferred >to the Union and send with this and if they have no t~‘‘dd*-WüTT^’trt7srrdw^,~tu‘^by^''flru^her Stevens you will in this way have them al together. I will also go through the list of actions and mark those that need to go into out Puno Briefs. I will make a list of thse numbers.I will take the time to write >a few words of explana-tion regarding a few of these.You can go over the material...and cut out any that is not just right. i possibly have a bit more time than you have just now so can pass a few of these things on for acceptance. If they meet approval it may save you some time while if not I shall be more than glad for you to make the necessary changes. ' I will endose with this the letter from Brother Cone. He is an interesting writer.Read the second paragraph through twice.lt sounds good. In a letter from Brother Williams in the same mail he malees this statement• ”By the way,Brother Colburn, the materia.1 you are putting out >in “Puno Briefs“is the right kind of stuff to build gp your work in the Lake Titicaca field.I am about as interested to receive this sheet as I am in getting a letter from home. I am sure tía t it does much in unifying your work.“ As long as our feeble efforts have been favorably received 1 feel that we ought to work as never before to make this little sheet of help to the field.Let us fill it with vim and enthusiasm so that it will vibrate life throughout the Mission. f I presume that you have heard at more length from Brother Williams but I see that they do not idly pass our re-quesls and needs to one side without due consideration.In another letter he mentions my letter in which I explained at some length our desperate need of Mission fitati on men and states about the action of sending the two familias named within a few weeks.He a,lso mentions being hopeful of giving us a special appropriations for the Mormal School.lt surely pays to let our needs be known.Some times I hesitate'in writing to some of our E.H. Wücbx No .2 General workers knowing of their heavy responsibliith s and. I guess you do also "but when results or friendly letters come in reply it gives us more courage.I shall be glad to hear more regarding our new workers. I have not had opportunity to look up the lamber for the yoke but will do so today or tomorrow. Pield will go with me. He goes back to Arequipa Monday I belleve. They have been more than pleased with the place here and ti ink that it is the best of any thing that they llave enj oyed since coming to Pertu.Personally I can say that I am ihoroughly enjoying my days here and feel that I shall come back ready for renewed servios.I feel that our own personal^ family will be in just as good shape as the day we ar-rived. Mother Field has not gained many pounds but with freedom from work and worry of school this year I think that she will be able to get along nicely. I appreciated what you say about our boys going to Hnglish School this year. This would be a help on the money part of the questi on but there is another thing that we desire to control more than we could last year.That is the boys associating with ti® se dirty talking Spanish y-oungsters. They have picked up a lot of these words along with the Spanish >and if we have the privilege of moving we will not need to have the boys from the school play in our new patio.They can have their regular classes with Mother and by another year they will be a bit older and pe r-haps we can have them instructed up a bit better.I know you are busy and can only do about so much but perhaps as you say Demetrio could hel$ a bit. Could he get out a form letter to the oíd patrons or doesn t he write on a typewriter? Perhaps a little note could be put in the papers which would explain things a bit. I am more than glad to hear of in Juliaca.-Slvin told of the horse buying shall be interested in the parchases.Hope satisfactoiy. 7/e ought to have a good Tiñe n ew one • the progrese of ti ings trip to Arequipa. I yournew horse will prove up in Puno with these I have not mentioned Field although I knew he was on the war path.Mrs.Colburn told me something about things the day 1 carne and I ’guees that he had written one letter that was filled with fire but was persuaded not to send it.later he let me read the one he did send.I do not think that he will ever be satisfied to go to a Mission Station and let Miller stay in Juliaca.That and the matter of his wife 's health are two big bones of contention. He does not feel that we have played fair with him. I have tried • by best to let him see it was becuase he could do the work of a big station and the othe r couldn 't but it does not seem to soak through. He feels that it is becuase he is not wanted in Juliaca and that it has been worked to get him out.After reading his letter I told him that icr myself if in the same place would be prepared to return to the States on my own expense.Don *t just know how he feels about things by now but he seemed a bit more hopeful after getting your letter.With new men ooming I to Id him wPtfc—new mon ■c-oming something might be done but without relief 1 saw nothing for it but station work on account of the great need.le will lose him sooner or later but I should hate to see him go now.I surely hope he can be made contented in some place for another 'year or EH.Wilcox No .3 so at least.X told him that if he wanted any consideration from a health standpoint it would be well to get certificantes of need. I do not see what we can do just with a persons word vzhen we have our action to the contrary.The Doctor has said that she was in the worse condition of any of the women but they do not have any regular written statements to that effect. I think that he plans to get those to present with his request not to go to a large Mission Station. Just a few words about another worker.I have had. a very plain talk with Broth r Schwerin*He seems to have a, desire to the right things but a few things are a bit hard of explanan on to my mind.I have advanced him money which the vray I figured it would take -to the last of March for him to earn.This ineludes expenses and all. I told him that I could do no more for him and tía t this amount would need to last him until he reached. Huancane* again.That if need be he could draw some on his march Branch Gash to carry him through March but that I th ought in view of the times tía t he ought to curtail every expense so as to have all account settled. by May at bast so that he could begin to lay up a. small amount each month in order to have a bit ahead for the last months of the year if. it became necessary for us to go without our s.lary for a time.He will be talking to you about another thing and tht is his health. His wife is real wcr ried about him andshe may have cause. He has had trouble with his stomach for months and the Hields say that he has many of the symptoms, of Ulcers o,f the Stomach. I adviced him to have an examinaron of a Doctor in Arequipa and. • also to arrange for one by Doctor Johnston vzhen he reached Puno. This will give Doctor Johnston a chance ,to lino up his diet. The man has not gained a pound and has had trouble constantly here.He eats a great deal between meáis. I am afraid. tht we will lose the man uftBéss we can get him on his feet.I believe tía t we ought to take this a bit serious for the man is most discoüraged now. I am writing wla t I know so you will be able to talk zzith the - Doctor in arranging for a time fer the examination if though best and also with him.He will come to Puno the 3rd of March.More than likely he will need. a couple of hundred soles on Branch 'Cash unless he will have matriculation money. He ought to begin to have some oon. I have wondered if he has not «already rece ived. some. and used it but I have no word to that effect. You might feel him out a bit. I am paying the rent today.I did. not have the figures and thought perhaps you could help a hit.Jith your letter,my remembren ce and by talking with Señor Salezar I have finally arranged. He is sending a man to measure for the glass that is broken and. will put them in befo re I leave.Our mosquito tents which we brought from the States have enabled us 'to screen agains mos-quitoes and flies in the fr st two rooms. It is a great help. * f I must cióse for now. Will write a few more lines t> send with the copy. > ■Jith sincere best wishes to both you and Sister VZilcox,! remain Sincerely your brotte r, M r E. H.

Dear Bro thar Russell:- Your letter of January 15tli was received after only three .zeeks. filis is very good time for malí frem the States nd it naist h ve gotten on a direct boat. a s cañe times wait for non Ais when packages are ejjpected.Otiier times we rece i ve them in short order.Át times the people here are very slow in passingx the malí through the customs. We are alw&ys glad to hear about your tripe and especially the one among the schools.-e vzere sad to lean» of tlie burning of the dorinitory in Cedar Lake.Only *a few more fixes and they will haya a ntew place from what it was a few years ajo.I h&ve noticed sinbe y Our letter th. t plano are already ,’being nadé for rebuiíding.Brofes .or is a good friend of mine and he seems to be making good principal by the way he stays by the Job and at the same school.I was a little sur-prised to hear of Brother Avery leaving the principalship af€er háve followed this lina for so many year thera in the Lake Union.Justwhat is his work now? ' Berrien lias surely grown during the x^ast few years. 1 woul hardly know the place now. I still know a few of the ¿eachers and ’a few ofuthe students but not many*3oiae of the students I do know were our students in sane of 'the academias where we llave taugkt.lt is good to hear about the new chape! that is being buifd.' They have needed t is for cióse to tv/elve yéars iww and f- will mean much í> r the ad-Vancement of the wr^. Íherb.í Tlií-xnk yoú for pajssing the copy on to’Miss Clement and if it will be of interest and helio sha 11 be glad to have it printed.If it dbes not happen to be the right kind of material theré is no harm done.Gussie lias started on her new seires of articles) and will ® nn pase the first copy on to Miss Clement with the idea of having them start with the new school year if they- are -Xcceptable. Thera are alilaya tilinga of interest to write about but will not Bnke.bJ.iis long today.I am sending with this a copy of our sclioo^ Wport for the *year of 1922. It shows some progreso tsver the 'laát.Xfou will rejó ice with us when I say that/ dkHng the last days of 1922 we applied and recáived licenses from thé 'gove.rnmeut for sixty fir e schools. fe have bluffed our ivay álong for years with really but little right but now we havé a good license for e&ch school. fe liad to malee a soücitude abd present a draswing of each school. We have it worded* to suit us and it States tht the Mission will appoint the teacher from year to year. o all the responsibility is .. ' C.A.R.Ko.2 tlirov/n bach on the Mission and not on the head oí' soné irre- sponsible Iridian teachers. We have had a great dea! of cor-respondones trying to get »th se licenses made in a f orm that would not tie us down and in a vzay that would give us the lib berty which we needed in the wcrk.Finally the regional director for the South of Perú told us 'that the schame which we subraitted for making out solicitudes vzould be acceptable in his office and we wasted no time in getting the Information to him befoxe he chumged his rnind. Being un American we were given greater liberty. In the States you folks have been wrestling with the problema of finalice and seeking to rench the appointed goals. Down he re and in otlier fields we have been wrestling with the proplem of knowing how to support our familias if we should have to go without salary for two or three months .This comes very cióse home to soma cf us who are dependent on the month-ly salary received to buy food and clothing. 1 .ost of our work* ers are not very vzell prepared to meet such «a crisis this yea> as when the larger numbar carne t.o the field they contract-ed so me debets which tliby have be-n* every effort to pay. Tile largor number finfshed paying tln se this year but it 1caves many with but funcís and short on for clothes.Still when the matter was presentad áll voted to stay by the work aven though they had to enter othér Unes of work to make a living for the ir familias. lio one lias any thought of return-ing.But our field is in very critic&l condition finanei&lly for *we are carrying such a larga working forcé and. it is hard to cut on salaries .¿¡«ven if we go without three months salary and cut a 11 pos ible on expense we vzill still lack thous-ands of soles of ¿aving enough to sustain present work unioss we get relief.If we drop workers it means transporta,vtion to the States which would amount to more than the salaries for one or two months so tía t is what is being faced.fe are going ’v s 'nyad .ONnd ee vnisvo iVJLSOd Noiooaaia ahead and doing all possible to raise money by tlthes and of-ferings and trust that our fiiends in the hca^laqd vzill rally to our aid.We see that much is being done and txian definite plans are being made in muny conferences to keep up the offer ings from month to montli but of course it will be same time befare we get définite vzord as what to expect.But paso the word along that the workers in the foreign fields are of good courage and vzill stay by the ship.

McEACHERN, ASSISTANT SECRETARY, NORTH AMERICA Publishing Department OF THE General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists THLEGRAPHIC ADDRESS "GINERAL CONFERENCV WASHINGTON, 9. O. TAKOMA PARK, WASHINGTON, D. C. February 25, 1923. CABLK ADDRK6I '‘ADVENTIST" WASHINGTON Mr. E. H. Wilcox, Casilla 85, Puno, Perú. My ¿Lear Brother Wilcox: Several weeks ago, while attending the conventions at Nashville, your kind letter of December 18 reached me having been forwarded from the office. However, following that carne the Review & He raid Convention, and as you know, these are ex-tremely busy seasons for those of us who have same raspcnsibility to bear in connection with them. This has prevente! my replying before. I mention this simply because I do not wish you to think for a moment that I am indiffarent te your correspondence. I very much appreciate this letter, Brother Wilcox, and have no difficulty in understanding the situaticn that you describe. While with you about a year ago now, I was fully convinced that you were working beyond your strength and it is only a matter of time when the Mission Board will have the problem en their hands of supplying another man for the field, and probably somecne of inexperience, which always results in more or less loss to the work. However, since you have written this letter, relief has come by ad-ditional and almost unexpected funds into the Mission Board Treasury and you have, dcuotless, been notified of the relief that has come to the struggling mission fields as a result. I do not know just what has been done for your particular field not having met with the Com-mittee but once or twice for over two months, for the reason, as stated above, that I have been attending ccnventions. As I write this, most of the brethren are away from the office including Brethren Shaw, Spicer, Daniells, Thompson and others, and I am scheduled to leave tomorrow aftemoon for Cunada to attend our last convention of this series. Because of this, I haven’t had time to talk with the brethren over the work in your field» but I presume Brother Thompson will be with you soon and will look into the situation in detail and report to the Mission Board. However, your needs will be met, of ccurse, through the División, and if the División has received the extra help because of the increased contributions of our people in the homeland, they will, of course, be able to give you relief along with other portions of the field. Wilcox -2- In the meantime, I sincerely hope, Brother Wilcox, that you will in some way manage to place more responsibility upon the heads of your different mission stations and. not try to carry so much yourself. I know from exper lance that a man can work his head off or he can relax a bit if he will and. let someone else share the responsibility» You will need. to do this for the sake of your own future. I hope you will not remain up there in that altitude too long, for if you do and become incapacitated, it will only bring grief to your own heart and extra expense to the cause. It dcesn’t pay. Let loose before you have gone too far. I have never fully recovered from my long seige in the West Indies, although since my trip to South America my health has been better than for thirty years. I am sure the Pope’s Nuncio will cause more or less extra trouble to our work, but we know he is fighting against God and in the end he will lose out. Nevertheless, it may mean perse-cution and suffering to the people of God. I am glad you llave no fear of bodily harm, but at the same time it is well not to venture too far and give the enemy all the advantage. You will be glad to know that our work in North America is begtnning to show definite signs of improvement. Our three con-ventions have been very profitable and we are fully confident that 1923 will mark a decided change for the better in our sales. Janu-ary shows a gain of about twenty-five thousand doliere over January of iast year. On my West to California, the iast of December and first of January, I passed through Keene and met some of the oíd frienda, but did not get into Oklahoma, so did not see your Unele. I am still hoping that some of these days I will be able to cali by and make him a visit. You will excuse me for writing so hastily this time, and I sincerely hope it will not disccurage you from writing again. I so much appreciate hearing from you first hand as to the work being done, yét I know this means extra work for you. I will always carry a special interest on my heart for you and Bella, with whom I had the good fortune to be associated in your ycunger days. May the Lord greatly bless you both and preserve your health is my eamest prayer. At this writing, my family are all well and we are of good courage. Most sincerely yours, WWE/c 1*1010 febrero el 27 de 1923 Directores de estaciones y Sub-estaciones Diferentes lugares timados hermanos: — ..ando esta con el find de saludar a Uds. y de poner a Uds, en conocemiento de unas vesitas y reuniones especiales que estaños para realizar# esperamos que los hermano de la División llegaran en Puno el 21 de marzo. ¿1 mis,;o día estamos para principiar una convención ;ara los directores de estaciones.

A. tino, Feb. 28, 1923 Bear 'brother Colburn Just a line to send on his mail. I have "been thinking that it might be well for you to get a little of that red paint used for painting the hull of a boat the first coat. The paint is caminé off the hull of our boat a bit and should be painted. I mean that red like they use for the first coat, You will be able to find it in Moliendo better than elsewhere I should judge. A half gallón would be enough I should think. In a letter received last night from hlder Peterson he informes me that money has come in so that the 28¿ percent will not have to be: cut from no. 1 appropriations and that there will be a little for advence work. In a letter from Williams last night he states that my appeal written from Urcos touched their heart and it was voted to give us three workers this year. VIVA. I have gotten out the find some mistakes as I avoid all. Puno Briefs and sent them off, I look it over yet I find it hard to The Ríos have moved out of the rooms and I have had them painted. That is the ceilings and the oorder. Demetrio Peralta has refuscd to teach in the Bnglish School it seerns to be largely because of fear of not being able to handle the work as he should.

Sincerely your brother Bebruary 23,19,03 Señor l’.Ijlbhr, Lima^Peru '. Daar Brother Eohr:- I jot you she el of fx xhasii. De .. r . 3ro ther liar ray: - Your letter of June sixth has been w&iting for a reply these many months.l will x malee no excuses for not hav-ing written befo, e mere 'than to say tht X llave though of it dozens of time and twice I bel leve I had u?aper in themachine to write but otñer duties crowded it out. I well «remember the sumar you mantion at good oíd j.H.C. Heally X should lito to repeat it just for á cíiange. This :?as,X think,the fifth summev which ¿ had spent at the -College and each sumar it vías my privilege to meet new peo-pie. As we think of our College friendo we ... ind them scattered all ovar the world. As you oay our work is larga in visible resulte and so naturally the eyes of our peopla through out the world field are at times turnad our way.Mrs/Colburn and myself have been conndcted with this most interestdng field for nearly three years now.«Theia are many others Mi sions in the world that heve just as thrilling experiences and our workers in these places are working just as-hard but our work is a bit unusual and so has brough* to the no tice of the public in a, way tiiat same other places have not. I am sorry to disa^point you regarding the things you ask about. You seem to be especially interested in the me medical lineo «and the things being.done in that depar trnent. Our work during 1922 was really small along medical lines.« Doctor Johnston was in Lima preparing to take the medical «ex-aminations so that he would be permitted to xoractice in Perú and the o ti® r medical woxkers are so tied up with olher lines that no speclal enphasis lias been placed on this work.A-round our oíd stations the work is much less than during the first years for the worker is present with the people 11 of the time.Of course our nurse are ccnstantly having good ex-perienceo but our work in this has been small compared to the work of one o i’ our previous worker s. Orley Yord , formar director of tto Pomata tations,is now in charge of the In-dian work in* Ecuador.üis work goes ahead of most anything of which I have heard in recent years. j Our big work at the present is schools.Last year we conducted fifty nine schools for Indian children and a school under the direction of Mrs. Colburn in Puno for tha Spanish children here in Puno.There «are three teachersin this . f.'Iurray No.2 school and we teach both in the Spanish and -^nglish. It ha .o been a great help to our otier worlc as it has made friendo of same of the best familias in Puno. During tlie past year we have had nearly one hundred workers ccmiected vrith the Miasion.I assure you it is no salí ta.sk to manage a working foros of about eighty of these nativa workers. Brother filcox and myself are taxed to the limit of tour resources at times.be have ten main Kission Sta-tions where it is al.'/ays planned to have foreign directora either from Argentina or the States but we have been vory short of v/orkers fot’ months.In a Jetter ,f?;om Brother Williams the othr.day hemeaticns *tv;o new fanilles that have been appointed to this field nd ene 1 j alre.^dy on the way. It Vvil.1 surely relieve the situution. * ■•'."a vera mada s-,d by ¿lie dea/íf» of distar fLvin. frs. Coltum and myself were with the alvina in Moliendo during • X^art of the month of Da cambar but sh lost a baby at threa months and neede.l to lia,ya an oijeration. xt vías impossible as it always is in Perú to gah doctor at night. fter clore to eighteen heurs the operation arrived but it was to late to s va her life.Complicutions sat in and sha.died during tlie fare part of January 1923.1'.er body was talen to Juliacu where we h$ve bought land for our new J’o^m.,14School and vio have been grantef the privilag^ bj* theplied to look after ti® work and the place is. a full days ride on tlie train from our office.Just ar. soon as ALvin was pone the bisliox^ from Cuzco cent a half dozen. brovmad robad priests to work a-gainst us and to destroy the f.iss ion. They did a good job of it and finally v/ith a bunch of fanatical wo¿nen went before the sub-prefect of ti® district and demandad pur expulsión. Although the man v/as a frien'd of ours they brought sucli pros-sure to bear and ¿¿ade ed much fuss and so rnany threats ha had to send a telegram to ^the prefect of Cuzco teling him that the peonía of orcos daiaaned our expulsión. The prefect is our eneaay and hand in han! with the bishop ráio was working to get us. out so the message was cabled at once to Lima.Through a Germán lad tliat a friencl of Alvins we got wosd at once and our suparintendent vzent to the place.The first night in the hotel he slept a ith .the door opon all unawares tÁáú Ü U mob ■ .d.iíurray No.3 liad gathered to kill him until the next morning.He xSund tht t th best i)eonle of Orcos desired tile ni os ion and'twnjsty busi-hese men si peed a cable to the presiden! asking tha t we be pemitted to st xy sayinp th. t tho otle r word vzas false. Ai-so the president of th- city council sent one on bis own re-sponsibility stating the same thing. V.b ais o sent cables to our of fice in Libia and ano-ther to the president himself who lias always been vexy friend ly.uur friends there at once went to Señor fíneinas who is our repxesenutive from tais distríct. fíe always stands up for our- work and at once went to the House ‘ahd presente! the mat-ter in a strong speech. before 6ongress which was theu in session and. liad an action put Uirough giving us the needed 'protection/Al though this was ^^-sn&aá; opposed by a priest who is a luembex of congress the vote was unanimous vzith ¿he exception of tais priest so 1 onderstund.

I have put you ñame on the maüing list so you will get *them as issued«l brought down the last copy and sent to you the other day. »It is barely possible tht you have this copy but it will do *no harm if you receive a dupli-cate.In letters from Brother* Cone and Brother Williams tlíey . both mention hov; well they like our little news sheet.They think that it contains just the matter to bring up the work of the Mission.I am gald if they are pleased with our efforts and will continué to do the best that we can. le now have our mimeograph and it will be possible to get out a largar number from iime .to tíme.Xt is our des i re to get this out mon monthly and also to print another in Spanish for our Ilativa . workors each quartor. I have. understood that it has be ¿n hard for our workers to get good places to live in Washington on ac-count of tlie high renta. I guess same have be ,n very fortúnate in buying or building. I was sorry to hear of your having to leave the Spanish apeaking field after having a good working knowladg- of the S.panish* It is so hard fox* some of us to learn any langu .ge tht it is too bad to lose a man af-ter he has be come familiar with it.l trust that Mrs. Petar son will be much better theee ..Washington and that now you vzill be able to h..ve a settled horae again.

It is perhaps a litóle larjer thnp we shpvild have planned but it a credit to our cause and apur work. Situated as it it and our work being inspected as clósely as it it it serítts ifaperative til . L we Lave jsomething that will represent us. The building accomodat.es all j for the present. It is so arrahged that we have a large chppe that yill hold a thousand people. This we need- for nov; we haye 4QC in Sabbath attendance ■t time. It provides for class rooms and dormitbries for 45 farilies. Aleo we have a carpenter shop in it and départments for living «quarters for the director of the¿ school will be arranged in it. This aakes all under one roof and very comefortably arranged. As time goes on and v?e need more room domitories for natives can be arranged out side of the main 'building. Then we can arran^i fór 'a house for the director out side and little by little the full plan carried out as wás outlined. The more we studeisd t^e maguer the more the plan we choose ap >ealcd to us. If special side issues had not crept in we would have been able to "have roofed the building and evcry thing with out having too much addi ti onal expense. But our paying ten thousand more for land than was first planned and then last year having to Buy Eider Y/.E. Howell feed for the animals on he farm we spent about 4oü0.0ü soles that we had not counted on, Then repairs on the farm tuildings and corráis that tfre had not cownted on ainounted to seveaial thousand more. This took the money that should have gone into the school building. Then the extra ten thousand that was spent on the land should have Leen for ouilding parpóses. The Union,Sanetioned our spending XÜfUOO soles for land befóre eider Pe te raen left us.

I have your letter at hand ano glad to hear from you and to lnow‘ that things are as well as they are there* Say above all things we must have those benches for the meeting there* I nope that with out fail you will be able to get them ¡nade* The caroenter will need to keep on the Job ri ;ht aloug. 1 hope that he can get them machi with oug fail. He will hardly have time to paint them now but should get them put together I 'shou.d thinlg. If there is time lo paint them of course th- t wi^l be well to do. Now as to the part you have in the program. Indian territory there are many possi oili tie s for doing Liissimary work. Especially that of Missionary Visite, tíkxssx Charity workt Visiting sick and talking with them and doing many little things for them and helping them in the i r work while sick. uiving treatinents to the sick and holding biblc studies. All this can be done in indian territory and is missionary work of the highest order. WHAT £AN INDIAN VEVDER3 DO? i 3 a big subject they can do all that I have mention above. In a simple way they can be t&ught how to ¿ive first aid treatmerts to the sick and how to huid simple bible studies and also how to help in cases of need. If classe-s could be formen in our chunches for teaching the members to do this kind of work and how to do it it vould prove a great help. It would be a blessing to the workers to be doing something «and to the people they wald visit it would be a help and would show that those who serve the Lord had an interest in them. HOW CAM1 W ENCOURAGE THEM TO VORK. We can do th t by keeping a good live missionary syirit prevailing in our churches. This can be brought about by holding missionary meetinga and forrning classes teaching them how to do missionary work. They by giving them work to do and teaching them how to do the work assigned. ?hen by example the Missimary director can encourage them to do missionary vork. Planning work and working plans. W ell I guess I have told enough and with what you will add to it you will have a hard time to get through in 15 minuéts. N ow I am still worried about the benches and so if you need me to help make them wire me and I will come. Y ou did not say how much money you needed. I ain asking brother colburn to send you goiae and this I guess he will do in the morning. I al so ask hin to send you some cuarterlies. I must cióse for this time and hopo that all i s well. £ C1 úoiásK Sincere!; your brother P.S. Hope the Lenchos turn our ine and nice looking.

I was glad to note that you had decided to go again as a laissicnary to come country and work for -he Lord, A s to doing self supporting work here in this part of the world I would hardly know y'ha t to say about the matter We have no workers that are trying such a thing but it is possi' le that such could be done, W- have in our own field a lar ge un explored section that would be a great field if opened up. It is in a tropical clima te and all kinds of fruits a ound. The governnient will give one land there for the asking neorly. It is hard of access. One has to cut his way through the forest and go on foot for sever 1 days to get there. There are tribes of indians there that are semi civilizad and ouhers that are not civilized. A s to the indians helping I would hardly know what to say. Ve are vorking among indiano all the time yet at the sume time we find them quite poor. They ar however in certain places quite generous. Our work here among them is prospering and we are thanki'ull for the progrese that is being made. I/ist year we haptised about 700 and the ye r before over 900 so you see the Lord is working on their hearts. We are thankfull to see the great change that comes into even the keart of an indian who accepts the messege. We are directing 60 schools among them.

Le ar b rothe r: -- Your letter of. the.* 8th. of Jan at hand and I was very glad to hear from you and to know that you are intereeted in us and our work here in this field. Truely we have a very intersting field ano - ork here. It is one of the most interesting fields that I have ever Leen in. Yes we have had a great deal of oposition he re in our field and against our work. Soné lives have been in danger over the matter. I was nearly killed last year shortly after the visit of the papel Nuncio©. Yet we are werking for the lord and not for man. God can protect and keep us and he will. We have seen this promise fulfilled muny times heve in our work. Well we had to appeal to the president of the government and to Congreso for special help. God gave us favor with these raen and as a result we now enjoy as much if not more liberty than we hvae ever enjoyed. It seems that the visit of this man has resulted in advancing our work here. T here are lawas that hinoer our work in all these countries yet at the sume time our work is not being hindered to any great extent this would aply to Solivia, Perú and Ecuador, We are going nhead with out work and comparntively little opposition. In fact what opposition we have we are so accostomcd to it that we think but little of it these days. Religiosa freedom and liberty has been granted in Ecuador but in Perú and Eolivia we have only religo cus toleration. We have what is called "Libertad de cultos*’ That isa right to have and hola meetings. However we do most any thing we de si re here. W e baptised in this field last year about 700 new converts and the year before over 900 so you oee we are not hindered so very much. We are glad to be here and have a part in the work here and surely thank you for The interst you manifest in this work and field. We will be glad to hear from you at any time.

Espero que Ud. se encuentra bien de salud y de buen animo» asta ahora no henos podido arreglar trabajo para Ud. aquí. El presupuesto ha sido cortado este aiio y es imposible arreglar apara un obrero extra. Por esto ría sido imposible. Mientras que no ha ppertunidad de esta clase me parece que sena bueno que se prepara mejor para el trabajo. Si Ud. podía arreglar ir a Lima a nuestra escuela en Lima y prepararse por unos cños entonces Ud. podía salir listo para el trabajo en cual quier parte. El joven preparado cor. la educación siempre se necesita. Aliora mismo si Ud. tenía la educación podía emplear a Ud. en la escuela que tenemos en Julio,cu pero sin esto es imposible y es el único trabajo que tenemos que ofrecer ahora. Tenemos que ucner uno cue puede ensenar el castillario en la escuela en Julinca. A.sí mi consejo sería de hacer el esfuerzo lo más pronto y 'greparr^r&e bien para el trabajo y una vez preparado haL ra e1 lugar. Sin mas por ahora me despido de Ud.

D C March 8, 1923. CABLE ADDRESS ■’ADVENTIST” WASHINGTON E. H. Wilcox, Casilla 85, Puno, perú, South America. Dear Brother: For some little time I have been wanting to write you but we have been extremely busy having but recently finished up the Harvest Ingathering material for the 1923 issue, getting it off to the various publishers both here in the States and many foreign fields in which this number is now translated and publish-ed. It is no small task I assure you. Now that the publishing houses have the manuscript and are grappling with their part of the work in bringing out the papers, we have a little oppcrtunity to correspond once more with the missionaries here and there through the field. We have been deeply interested in the reports coming in along from the Lake Titicaca región. I was particularly interested in your report in the last Review. This must have come direct to the editors for I had not seen it before. In this you told of the outcome of the visit of that Papal Nuncio visiting Perú. That special delegate from the Pope of Rome to aquelch what Seventh-day Adventista are accomplishing in the heights of the Andes, among the Inca Indians must have learned something. All Fall for one, I have been praying that God would in some way paralyze the efforts of the emaleary of Satan and give him to understand that he was dealing with the Lord God of heaven, and your report was sort of a direct report to the Lord1s answer to these prayers. Somehow I have had the assurance that the good angels were looking after this enemy of truth and have been looking for some word from down that way as to the outcome. Those gentlemen will learn after awhile pos-sibly, that they are grasping a very live wire when they undertake to put out the fires kindled by the third ángel’s message müst any-where yet particularly so up there among the Inca Indians. Really it is wonderful what the Lord has wrought up in the stronghold of the Andes, the past dozen years or so, in the strong work built up from that small beginning we remember so well, Wilcox when Brother Stahl and his wife pioneered among these Aymara Indiana. I well recall how Brother Stahl used to plead that the Mission Board send down four or five ccuplés just as quiokly as possible and that these could be placed around in the various sections of the mountains where they would be able to reach all the way from ten to fifteen thousand Indians in the various lang-uage sections and thus a wonderful work develop. His faith al-ways seerned to be ahead of our ability to find workers and now as we look at it, really dear Brother Stahl’s highest anticipations seem realized in that all around, even down into Bolivia, a strong work is organizad and many thousands of Indians put in touch with the message with hundreds of them accepting it. The Lord is thus manifesting what He is able to do in reaching hearts, changing lives, of those who will come unto Him and follow the message He has given for this hour. That is a wonderful report you are able to send on, Brother Wilcox, of being able to baptize 267 this last October. And now the inkling comes to us that possibly you will have to leave the heights up there for awhile and obtain a rest. I hope it is not serious or that it may mean you shall have to come back to the States for long because they surely need you up there. We certainly hope you may be getting on quite well and that there is nothing very serious with you healthwise. Day before yesterday I went down with Brother Poblé to get his passport started as he is asked to connect with the West Caribbean Conference as president, and he told me some of his ex-periences with those Román Catholic executives down there at La Paz, when they took over the government and began a work of opposition to our work, particularly school work, as it entered Bol'ivia. It is a wonderful story of progrese that is being told around the world as this message more and more begins to rise for its final triumph in all the earth. So far there has been no retrenchment. Wherever we have been able to gain a foothold and a little fire kindled, it has resulted in the spread to other localities and soon a large work is on our hands. We shall be glad to hear from you as to recent experiences as we can make use of these right along either in Missionary Readings or in Mission Lands Department in the Review. Our brethren and sis-ters are always glad to hear from the Lake Titicaca región. The Spring Council will soon be on here in Washington. We are so glad that funds turned out as they did so that the Board was able to replace the serious cut in budgets made at the time of the Autumn Council. There is a hercio effort on in all the conferences to make this year the banner year in the raising of mission funds and it looks as though they shall succeed. These Mission Rally Square-up Sabbaths, we believe will help greatly to increase the funds. Wilcox. -3- Now let us hear from you, Brother Wilcox. We know there is always something pressing in b^really these reports from our missioraries coming in fresh and warm from the various sections of the worid field are very important,indeed, in that they keep alive interest in the hearts of the brethren and sisters in not only America but in other parts of the worid as well, in what is being accomplished and these reports bring great courage to those who are holding the • ropes at home and furnish the munitions of this gospel warfare. So keep up good courage. Man y prayers ascend in your behalf up there in the Lake Titicaca región and although the enemy fights every inch of the ground Heaven has not forgotten how to send her warriors who can put to flight the armies of the aliens and bring off more than con-querors those who trust in God’s guidance and deliverance. We shall look forward with interest to hearing from you, sincerely hoping this finds you enjoying a reasonable degree of health, I remain Sincerely your brother, Vi/, A. SPICER, PRESIDENT CHAS.

Sr. H.M.xColburn Puno,Perú Dear priende: Will write you a short letter tonight, i F" imagine this will reach you about the time you are ready to leave for the Lima meeting(or ar^you going? M We hope you are all getting along well up that way and enjoying your work. All is about as common up this way, Now have my brother with us here or is in oiobamba at language work preparatory to work here. We are glad he is here to help us and hope he soon is able to handly ikn things so that we can slip out and go home for a little while. He is coming along very well at language work. Tnink soon he 411 be able to get away with things, We hope to be able to leave in a few months now, I havexX kxd xa been quite well for the past few months but one is rather nervous as to when the real bad attack may come, A couple of weeks ago had an attack hard enougn to at least let me know that it is still there, We hate to J aave just now as things are going along so well and thi\ 3 opening up as well as one .could ask fqr, Will be difficult for john to haiidle things alone, Really two mens jobs even without starting the school, '"This week have sold over fifXty sucres of medicine. Medical Work is a steady grind practically every day here, Received a letter from Bro Wilcox the other day and in it were made sad to hear of the death of Sister Elvin, Sure is too bad and to leave the two children. He must be broken up, Also too bad to IcPse him from the field in this time when the work is so strained for help, What are you doing vttth Elvins, and peplogue both leaving? We are getting quite comfortable now in our new hous e Will get all fixed up in time to leave and turn it over to another, Seems as thá wex'build and another inhabits"every where. Hope this will be the last time we go to the new place, Is interesting but the work almost overbalances the interest. Has been a heavy strain boutkphysically and i; entally to open the work here. So much depends on the first inpressions in a place like this where no one even ever has seen a Christian before, We now have good crowds to meetings all the time an d very promising outlook. Must not write more but will mention that I am enclos-ing a letter from a man in US who wrote me, Also sending a booklet he sent, The letter and book will be self explan-itory, Dont know what you will be able to do for him but wrote him that I had sent it on to you.as the work was too new here to xtXsxdt be able to do it here, Your fri^d^^^^^ lí&reh 10, 19 3 Clark HH < >h o Bear brother• -•• I will write you a few linos and let you know ahout the chnnf*? ■ u <\?- . c. -ha ?tu.-¿ Convention.

Me dicen que hacined como gamonal quitando terrenos de otros indi gema. Pero en el mismo tiempo sabe haber oraciones largas. Dice que xja quitado terrenos de trece diferentes indígenas. También esta pleateando con sus vecinos. Dice que ha comprado pedazos de terrenos de diferentes indígenas después les ha quitado mucho más que ha comprado de ellos. Si esto es verdad es cierto que no debe ser en el empleo de la misión. Si favorecemos a el y el segas de esta manera vp. a dar mal ejemplo. Timeteo dice que Manuel le ha dicho que iba a matarle y después pedir perdón y sera bien. Me parece que debe investigar el asunto bien. Me parece que de todos modos será bien de tener otro enterprete en lugar de ^anuel Chambe. Si Ud. no cuida Ud. va a tener divisiones que no serven sobre el asunto. Si Ud. tenga otro entreprete y trata a Manuel lo mismo como cualquier otro entonces van a olvidar de esto me parece. Ho queremos tratar malamente a Manuel ni a Timoteo o cualquier otro. Debe os tratar a todos Iguales. Cierto debemos investigar el asunto de ^anuel para ver si es verdad o no. Manuel lia sido bueno para con misión siempre. Pero no obstante esto si está haciendo mal con otros no podemos usarle en el trabajo. Pero dejando todo esto me parece para el bien de la obra en la misión sería mejor no usarle como entreprete. Ud. puede investigar bien el apunto y avisarme. Podemos mandar a Ud. un interprete en mas o menos cinco semanas ahora. Cuando termina la escuela de Verano. Deseo avisar a Ud. también del cambio en la fecha de la reunión en Puno. Será el 8 al 31 de marzo.

Jear brother minn:- 1 wish to mention a few things about oooks.I am sorr/ that we have not been a ole to talk over the book business a oit out may have a few minutes at the convention. I have reo¿ived more of the McKibben outlines.If they are nceded let me know.1 should think it would be a good thing if all the teachers going out h id the i te use in their schools. Those little leather Bidés which we have had at a price of b/4.00 are now greatly re-duced.l can see a shipment which vzas just rece!ved for s/2.50.If all of our workers had this kind in-stead of the cloth it would be much better to my notion.You may 8<11 any you have on hand at the new price and 1 will issue a refund to the school if you wish and we will stand the loss on them. As Sabbath Schocl Department al lian do you not think it would be fine for each teacher to start out with a Quarterly?The price is only ten cents National and it seems to me that every one of our boys ought to have them and that they ought to encourage the buying of them in their schools.I have a standing order for each mission but this does not inelude Juliaca.If you feel that it vould be pos si ole to dispose of them I shall be glad to save out one for each worker and cut down on some of the stations for this time.Let me know at once. I am also sending 75 Revistas.These will come without ñames for each one is supposed to be on that list.Please pasa them out. The ...arch Atalaya has not arrived.be sure to have ¿ictor v/orkxx up the paper list.mvery one is supposed to have the Revira and their choice of the oths? t vo papers.l'his is by committee action so I think that all will be willing. diy not give them a little talk some day on the benefit to bu derived fro a rending the papers.

My dear Brother Colburn; Your two letters of March 6 and 13 respectively, enclosed in the same envelop, carne to hand on the last mail, I will take time to acknowledge them briefly this morning. Thank you for your clear stateraent of ideas re-garding the rest home proposition. I assure you that we will do all in our power to adjust matter so that things way run smoothly, and so that the workers may get the most profit and enjoyment out of their vacation. With the cooperation and the goodwill of the brethren in the field, I believe that success will be assured. I will keep your letter by me for reference when the matters are up for consideration. I am glad that you had a talk with Brother Wheeler. I trust that some of these unplesant feelings may have been put out of the way, and that the way is clear for smoother sailing in the future. If we were all peéfectly developed christians many of the misunderstandings with which we have to struggle at times would not exist. But since we are not, it be-hooves us, I suppose,to adapt ourselves to our brethren,bearing with each others faults. In regard to Brother Field, your frank statement of your convictions helps me to see the way more clearly. I trust that something may be done to help him get a new view of things, I assure you that we will leave nothing undone which may contribute to this end. We areexpecting the División men to arrive this evening at 5í3O from Antofagasta, With best regards to yourself and wife, I am Sincerely yours, E.

Lear Brother Colburn: Your letter of the 28th of February was received the 4th of ^arch. I have had no time to write you sooner. You of course can imagine to some extend as to what was awaiting me on my return. I notice you refer to No. 2 of the suggestions mail-ed you before I left your field. I think you meant No. 3, for that is the item you mention. It is very easy to open a “Motorcycle Expense” acount. On your summary sheet of the workers report sheets you will list a column with this account. This does not need to run into the Workers' General Expense at all. We carry aa Auto Expense on the Ecuador books, to see how Brother Ford's expenses run at the cióse of the year. We need not go thru the General Expense account and pick these out, as we shall wish to show the Auto expense sepárate from the General» Your General Expense accoutn is running rather long, that is why I should like to have run sepárate accounts with those Ítems suggested. It is just as easy to make an expenses from the Journal as it is will save you much time if you use the Journal. itemized lits of office from ¿he Ledger. It the Expense Column in I suppose you find much to do in the office these days. I think of you boys maqy times. I have enjoyed working in each ane of the offices. Each secretary has spared no pains in helping me out with matters called for. This all has been appreciated very much,. I ass ure you. As soon as I get my work could up, I shall work on the Financial Statments. I am enclosing a copy of my working sheet such as I showed you on the steamer before leaving Moliendo. I made allowances for the Ítems you men-tioned. Such as the dividing the Normal Shop Account and one other item, 1 believe was Puno School.

K. l'eyers, Associate Secretary of the General Conference, in which he makes request for "some interesting experience or indication of providential intervention or help is what we desire. Kindly co-operate with us in this effort, for ve know that you are anxious to interest our people in the homeland.” Now, Brother Wilcox, I am quite sure that you have something which is inspirational and just what we all need. I wish you would forward to us some of your latest experiences for we must keep Sputh America prominently before the homeland, ’¡from whence cometh help.” I know from my recent visit to the "States” that our brethren and sisters are keen on South America, and we must not let this interest wane. You may forward this matter direct to Brother lleyers or to us and we will pass it on. However, in all events, even though you forward it direct we desire a copy of your matter for we need the inspirational touch you have with the people in the field. Ve are just one big family down here trying the Best we can to get this truth hefore the people, so let’s have an experience meeting and pass on some of the good things you are enjoying. Do not wait until sometime when you can write a long article concerning the wonders of your field, but pulí out a piece of paper when the experience is fresh whether on the street-car, train or home and let us have it. You will be surprised to know of the boost th t "Raindrops from the Continent of Opportunity" has given to our work and by it great interest has been created through-out the "United St tes."

Gentlemen: When I wrote you last year with reference to the result of my artificial leg which you made for me I did not use a very satisfactory language, as I expressed myself rather pessimistio about the use of the leg, re-marking that I was not satisfied with it for some reason or another, ato. This was not a very polite action on my part and today I feel humbly repentant for it; there-fore, I will appreciate that you are so gopd as to excuse my lack of tact when I wrote you giving a wrong report Just in the first days I began to wear my limb. I can assure you today that after a continued Service of one year and a few months this leg has given my complete satis-faction and I can affirm sincerely that I am highly pleased with same. I would also like that you let me know at once your price (delivered in Pernambuco) on one pair (2) or one dozen (12) woolen or cotton stookings to be used on my stump, of the same size as those which were included with the limb which you shipped me. Please also be so kind as to advise me the best way of sending my remittance to cover whether by mail or through a business house or a bank.

Bear Couslns:—- I received your good letter son» time ago and was very glad to hear from you, Also I received the fur and we wlsh to thank you very much for it, I hate for you to send anything to us as I know Missionaries are more needy that we here in the home land, But neverthe less we appreciate the present wonderfully, Some of the girls want to order some fura afterwhile if they can still be had, I will be glad to pay you for your trouble and anything that you might be out should you fe el that you could serve us a bit in this Une» We had a Union workers meeting the flrst of Match at Dallas, Eider Daniels and Eld, Thompson were present, We had the most wonderfal meeting I ever attended* The Spirlt of God wrs present in a marked way, I suppose that you have heard of the Reviváis they are holding in this country, Eider Daniels was the flrst tb launch this work, I believe that it is the work of God and will culminate inrthe outpourlng of the Spirlt of God and the finishing of the work in the earth, A closer and more earnest study of the Spirlt of Prophecy and the Blble was urged upon us as workers, I believe that a great work is belng done .in our Union here, Ladt week I conducted a revival in the Houston church the largest church in our Cenf. I worked mostly for the young people but there was a large attendance of the older people, It was a splendid meeting and nine were baptised at the cíese, The splrit of God was present In every meeting and dlfferences were put away, And many who were backslidden were reclaimed, I feel that I have gotten hold of the power of God in a way that 1 have not before. "fje tnfyo sanes tfye calibren sanes fije cfyurcfy” wife and "bables are at Keene making the folks a vislt» It was the first time the folks had seene the "bables slnce the first one was born» I ara sending you soné kedacks ef-the bables» I de not have any ef Loucille te send, I wish that I had as I de not think you have seene her plcture» I can assure you that she Is a very pretty sweet llttle woman» I den*t know how I ever got her but I dld and we are certalnly happy folks» Loucille and the bables are both extra well and streng, I añ also I welgh about 1*95 Ibs. We have health If we de not have wealth, I suppese that we should appreciate that more than we de» In this picture the bables are about Marjorie two years oíd and the Boy about six months» I know that It must be very sad to loose a compan Ion out in that far away country. I know that Míssionarles have many hard and trylng experlences» But I suppose that it brings a deeper trust in the Lord. And the experience that comes te ourhearts as the result of triáis surmounted and diffaculties overeóme Is worfcVmore than gold» Beoause it creates withln us theMTrue Gold” or Baith» We lack falth here in this country» I slncerely believe Harry that it will not be long untlll the work will be finlshed and Jesús will come» I hope that in that glad day we will be able t© meet and vlsit togather with all of our loved-ones» As I think of the time ef trlal and trouble that we are to pass thru just a llttle way frem this» It makes me shudder» Fray for us here Harry that we may have falth that will not fail us in the supreme crisis» I shall be very glad to hear frem you eften but I know that you have much to do so I will appreclate a word when ever you have time» With the best of wiáhes te you and Bell I will cíese» Slncerely your Brother» E.

Bear Brother Colburn,— y Your letter of ¿¿arch 23 just reached me two or three days ago and I basten to answer it as 1 know you will be wanting to place your order for a Geography pretty soon. In reading your letter I notice that you are looking for a small and cheap book for the rural schools. Now, I am not so sure that the text I am sending will fill this need, nevertheless, I am sending it as it comes the neareat to the ideal that I have found here in Perú. PeWsonally I fefcl that the paper, type, cuts, maps, etc. have a great deal to do with making a book of this kind worth something; or on the other hand the lack of them making the book worth almost nothing. ^jwever, I realise that your condition there in the out schools is a little peculiar and that the price of the text must largely govern its use or non-use. *ishing you mny blessings in the Meetings now in progrese, I am, Sincerely yours inCbnist, April 9,1923 Señor Fal.Mohr, Lima,r>erú# Dear Brother Mohr:« - You will find enlosad with this a oopy of the expense report of J,D.

C. 5TH. ED1TION WESTERN UNION 5-LETTER April 13, 1923. Señor H. M. Colburn, Casilla 85, Puno, Perú. Lear Brother Colburn: I am again looking your letters over of the 15th and 23rd of March, which were received the 28th of the same month. The orders mentioned are being taken care of. We trust that you will soon receive the goods. The matter of printing is in hand, and will be attended to soon. No doubt you have seen by the Review recently why the ministerial reading course books have not been received by you. Surely they will go fcrward soon. Now, as to the prices the large subscriptions will say that the prices for Perú are uniform. But, you will need to take into consideration the expenses you pay in bringing them in. The price for the large book in cloth is, S/10.00 less 50 jjer cent tp workers and colporteurs. The book "Camino á Cristo” cloth we sell for S/2.60 iless the regular discount. Cartilla Sagaratda is S/1.60 for the cloth No. 2$ Officers of the Church is priced at S/1.35. Heralds cloth selfes for S/ 5,65. The book "The Lighted Way" S/2.30 less 30 per cent to you. We sell Mrs. Perkins at 45 centavos less 60 per cent to you. Our Pay is selling for S/6.20 with the regular discount. Our Stoiy of Mission sells for S/3.75 less 30 per cent to you. I hope this is what you wanted. Your sample sheet for receipt book is veiy similar to the one we got out for the school here. I like this form so much betee than what has been used here. We shall do all we can to get something that is nice and neat. Now as to prices on the book "Pe Torno" will say that the prices for the books we had here in stock were fixed before I carne. These must be war prices. The stock from New York is now much cheaper. I suppose this is the reason. Brother Williams carne in this morning. He shall be very busy for a while now, I am sure. I trust you are get-ting very well with your work. m Sincerely your brother HMC No 2 space. It is just like the one here in our Office which Brother Williams, himself, I understand recom-mended to Varney to secure. And this has been placed in all the other offices, The sheets, we have in stock here, and can secure from the Casa Editora, as they cariy them in stock. It is regular standard ledger size, used generally. Brother Williams, spoke about the matter, but said nothing definite, but asked that I see into the matter farther. So I shall fire the order on thru to Cobban. Now, as to the matter of the Atalaya work done by Brother Wheeler. Brother Wheeler is an agent, but he is drawing a salary, so therefore we would not be al-lowed the profits, these all go to you. I have asked him to remit all collections to you in full. You notice we allow you the regular 40 % discount on these subs. You will notice, by the appropriations' send you recently, that we are carrying Brother Wheeler on our books, as he will soon leave anyway, and this will not need to be carried by you. Now, I shall give the regular discounts on books allowed to our workers and colportuers, as you will have more of this work to handle. They are as follows: Subscription Books; the discount to Tract Societies is 60 per cent. The discount to workers and colporteurs which the tract society gives is 50 per cent. To chruch societies you give 40 per cent. The postage is to be add-ed on packages of less than one hundred pounds. Home Workers Books; the tract so ciety receives a discount of 50 per cent. All others receive 40 per cent. Trade Books; tract societies receive 30 per cent. Colporteurs and workers receive 20 per cent, church societies receive 15 per cent. TeMt Books, Inclduing Song Books; you receive 20 per cent, workers and colporteurs receive no discount on these, except they purchase six books at one time, then they receive 15 per cent. I am anxious that all our secretarles adhere to the above. I shall get out a circular letter to all you secretarles as soon as I can get to it, and give other Information conceerning the work of the tract society You will notice that we allow your office 5 per cent on our periodicals. But, you should charge your workers the full price. You will need the little profit to help pay for stationery and postage. HMC No 3 Now*, as to the amounts you have on your books a-gainst some of your native workers, which you say there is no chance of collecting. I should suggest that you make evexy effort to collect, then if that is impossible, we sha11 cióse these to Loss and Gain at the cióse of the year. We shall also treat the credits in this way, if these can not be passed on to the individuáis. Your order for Spanish books has long been handled and you should be receiving these books soon. I did not have enough of the "Sagradas” to fill your order, so I ordered these sent direct to you. We have on the way, have had for sometime, a case of this book, should be here real soon. The Guides are going to you. We had a case in stock, but Perú had taken this case just a few days before receiving your order. We have two cases of this book coming. We are planning on repairing pur Casa depósito thus getting it in better shape in which to carry stock. The place has been in a disgracful con-dition. We have a few Journal sheet on hand and can send right out to you. You did not say how many you desire. But shall send you fifty. To handle the appropriations for 1922, should be closed to Loss and Gain, and the balance to Net Worth. There are several fcther Ítems to be handled in this way. I shall endose a sort of entry sheet, this of course will cover all correction entries and facturas. This will help you in ad-justing the closing. It matters very little whether books have been closed even before statements reach the office, for adjustments can always be made. I remember in the Central Union Conference, the auditor there has nuch to do, and does not see our office in Kansas until a little while before campmeeting. There have been adjustments made as late as two weeks before campmeeting in Beptember. So do the best you can, Brother Colburn. If anything should hap-pen that your books do not agree with thé statement, we shall fix that up when I see you on my next visit. * The regular price of the stencils is $3.00 per box that has always been the price to us in the States, even during the war. This makes the sheet cost 12# cents each, «Id. Thirty-three sheets at 25 centavos would come to S/5.50, or possibly a little more. I shall secure the maps for you at the first oppor-tunity I shall get. Hope to get them soon, as you will be needin_ them, I am sure. Trusting that this finds you of good coura^e, I am Sincerely your brother E. H. WILCOX J. S. H1NDBAUGH S CrEHINTEXDEXTE c ESTACION DE PLATERIA S. T.

You will remember úhat deal of the Postuma 7¿ell, we are completely out of the article, and as ^e used up five cans at the hotel, or at least, they never returned, I would like if you would see to it that we get that number of cans of the large sixe,as soon as possible, or if there is a whole box that is available, you might sena it along with a discount in price-equal to the five cans. I presume that you will have no time to do this, b.. t you may nave the time to give someone the order.

You may nct/sta light in what I have aid on the subject t , start with but I think that litóle by little you vzill see that it is nbedfull. fork is good but it we are not caref 11 it becomes a druggary in any school, either here or in the otates. A few hapgy spots aloij the way help to let the sunshine in. The happ^er you are and the more joval you can bewith them the greater will be your success in handling them. Kow us to revoking he house and working on that,\ I can assuré you that I am interested. I am anxious to 'sde that house i ut on a different aspeot in as short a tíme it will be possible to make it do so. .Do your best to 4 get all dona along that lino but atthe same time be carefu 11 vzho you put at the job. Dot every one c m do that kind of work sc> it will mean choosing people for tife-t. Dow I have not arranged for any ene to come and work for you at that work at presex\t. Boys can not do that work with out h&ving on hand a good supylj^ of horse manure. The horses will need to be put in a place by them selvas every night so that they will store up gudno for us. Ve my be ablx to arrange for some one for doing that vzork for us but perhaps a little later on. O Dow a wrd a-.out putting in the Windows. I thiifk that it would be well to put them in about one foot from th¿ outside wal. That is to set them in that much and tht vzill leave twc feeb on the insido. It appeals to me that this will be the better plan to follow in your setting of t he Windows after they are nade. I find the sale of stock wi 1 be in June. Taht is the Chuquebíunbilla sale of sheep. That is the government experimental farm stock sale. It will be held in Juliaca. I tope at that time we can have a little monay on hand and get some sheep out of the sale if po sible. Sheep dogs vzill be for sale at that time also. I have just been talking to the people from there about the matter I vzill not bother you longer this time but will remember you atthe throne of grace and earnestly nope that you may have the best of success in our work and make the school a success.

I do not know,íh s may be this is necessary at times, but I think you brethren who are living in that altitude should forget all about work while you are down at the Coast on your recuperativa period. I wish to thank you for the Puno Briefs which you have sent me, and I look forward from time to time to the receipt of your little news sheet which comes as a very weIcome visitor to us here . We read it eagerly and it helps us to keep in touch with your work more cióse ly. I was glad te note that your workers there are holding on even though some of them really ought to leave. This is shcwing a good missionary spirit, I am sure . Wa were surprised, and of course, greatly shocksd when we heard of the de&th of Sister Elvin, and know it must have been a very hard blow to him. I rece ived a letter from him a few days ago, written on steamer Ebro, en route to Penama Canal, from where he expected to transfer to another steamer going through to California. I under-stand he intends taking up the full medical course, if he can qualify for it. No doubt you will miss him there in your field, as he was a good pioneer worker. I noted with much interest the changes which you have made in the field in order to hold the situation as best you could at the larger stations. Am glad to tell you that at the recent Spring Council it was voted to ask two or three workers to go to the Titicaca field. There was a Brother Bement, and an Isa^c Schneider. A young man named c H.M.C.-2- Cari Riffel from Oklahoma, will also be asked to go t.o the Inca Union as Field and. Home Missionary secretary of the Union. Of course, I do not know how these cases will develop, and you brethren will no doubt hear about this in due time in the regular channel, but I thought it would do no harm to mention these mattars to you here for your encouragement. You know you have soma very good friends here on the Committee who are always glad to repre-sant you when we can. I trust that these workers who have been called will be able to go forward without much delay, as you need them sorely. I see you folks have rentad some rooms in Moliendo for your workers when they go down to the Coast. I think that is e, fine idea and I am sure it beats hotel acccramodations in every way and enables you folks to have more privacy, and also have what you want to eat which is not possible in those Peruvian hotels. I almost envy you folks when you tell me about all these things , as my mind goes back to the many times when I have almost had to shut my eyes while eating. I don’t know whether it ever occurred to you, but I have often seen a píate of soup with a fishes eye staring up at you as though saying, ”Are you going to eat me?” so I can appreciate what it means to you folks to cook your own food. We are glad to note short Ítems from your field in the Review and other papers from time to time. We watch for these with eager interest, I assure you. Keep the reports coming this way, as these reports are the things that keep the interest of our people in the foreign missions. They like to hear about them. In a week or two I expect to start for a trip into the North Pacific Union, and before returning home expect to visit México to attend a general meeting to be he Id in México City June 28 to July 8. After returning from there I will no doubt attend some of the fall camp-meetings. I do not know just where yet but will probably find out before many days. I am still talking to our people about the work in that field and shall continué to do so throughout the summer, as they like to hear about the marvelous way in which the Lord is blessing the work there. Well, Brother Colburn, I am glad to see you and your family continuing in that field and of good courage in the Lord. Kindly remember me to all I know there ^nd write me again when you have time. Wishing you well in all your work for the Master, I remain, EFPtQ Faithfully your brother, H. U.STEVENS Superintendente APARTAMENTOS: C. D. Striplin Educación Mis. Vol Jov. F. I. Mohr. Escuela Sab.

EDITION WESTERN UNION 5-LETTER April 16, 1923. Señor H. M. Colburn, Casilla 85, Puno. Bear Brother Colburn; In going thru the file of papers, in some way I do not find the itemized account of Puno General Expense, It is quite necessary to have this before I can finish the statement. I 8hall appreciate having you get this out at once, and mail to me, Brother Williams and I have gone over the statement very carefully and desire to make a few changes, which will effect your clos-ing for the year 1922. I received today your letters dated April 9 and 10. I appreciate your getting reporta ready for to "be sent soon. I do hope, Brother Colburn, that all our men in the different offices will get right after reporta and get them to me not later than the 30th of the following month; this is what is required by the General Bepartment. So we shall be very glad if you will work to that. Now, as to typebars for your machine, I asked Brother Williams if he brought anything with him, he stated that he was unable to get anything in Buenos Aires at the time. I shall again try to get the type in Lima, if I can not , then it will have to be ordered from the States. I notice the statement from Brother Replogle, and what you say about it. The question ^is if he traveled second -2 or first class. Naturally it is dupposed that he changed from second to first class. I advised.Bro-ther Replogle to go second class, for on the large steamers the second class is just as good as the min-imum on the smaller boats which do not have second class. Joe's report will be looked over carefully and returned to you, with possibl^notations. I should have mentionex^d your statistical report for the foürth quarter of 1922, it is not yet in our hands, and the time is way overdue. We sent you a short radio the other day about it. We must have this report .real soon, Brother Colburn. Trusting that this finds you well, I am Sinceráy your brother W. H. WILLIAMS, PRESIDENTE E. W. EVEREST, GERENTE-TESORERO P. R.

ARGENTINA April 16, 1923 E.H.Wilcox Casilla 85 Puno, Perú Dear Brother Wilcox: Your letter of March 26 was received the other day, and I certainly was glad to hear from you again. I have realized, Brother Wilcox, that you are very busy in that field. In fact I have been told that you often times hardly know what to do first. I am glad there is promise for you to have additional help, and hope that it will bring some relief to you. Thank you very much for the good invitation which extended forTto visit your field with Brother Cone. I do not know now what plans may be made for another year. Somehow our nlans for this year did not work out so that either Brother Cone or I could visit your field. Before Brother Williams left he and I talked in regard to this and at that time we thought that it would nerhans be better if 1 could visit your field next year rather than this; at that time you would undoubtedly have a Union Colnorteur Director, there would be a local director, at least we hor>e so, in the Lake field, and it would be nossible for us to go into your field and perhans accomnlish more than we might be able to this year, What do you think about if? Now, when I carne I exnett that I will be traveling rather light, because one of the things that I always dislike to do is to carry very many things with me. However, when I find out definitely as to when I will visit your field I will write you for some advise as to what I ought to bring with me. Now, for something that is of more interest. You are anxious to know how the book forlyour field is getting ,along, and we are very anxious to get the thing through as soon as nossible. We had an awful lot of work during the later rart of last year and the first three months of this year. Our work is lighter now and we are able to give full attention to the book. During the last three weeks rart of the copy has been in the hands of the artist and he has been making some drawings for us. The other day c E.H.r. -2- he submited to us what he had prepared for the first 16 pages. Do not understand that he is drawing all of this but we are submiting the illustrations and having him go over them for us touching them up and making what changes may seem best. I believe,, Brother Wilcox, that we are going to have a book which will sell well. We are going to do the very best we can to keen the nrice down to JO / gold although it is going to be hard to do. It will be necessary for us to hold the nages down to $6. Now I have taken note of the des iré which you have to make the Lake field one of the leading fields in the Inca Union in the sale of our books. I am glad you feel this way about it, Brother Wilcox, and I believe that we will be able to unite with you to heln you reach your goal. However, at the time when we are trying to help you we shall also do our best to stimulate the other fields to keer ahead of you. With kind regards to you and your workers in that field, and assuring you that we are doing everything we rossibly can in thé interest of the new book for your field, we remain, Very sincerely yours, VCASA EDITORA/; SUDAMERICANA EWE/IP c hbril 17, Ivdó directores dj estacionas .diferentes lugares Estimados normano: — ."..^ndo esta con 1 fin da saludar a Uls. y espero que se encuentran Uds. bisa de salud y d ainc *en ¿1 ¿éter y en sw trabajo* /^tuataenta me «icuünU< en al tren en viaje a ^oliendo.

TSLEGRAPHIC ADDRESS "GENERAL CONFERENCE" WASHINGTON. D. C. CABLE ADORESE -adVENTifiT” Washington April 19, 1923 Mr. V«. H» Williams, Treasurer, Florida F. C, C. A., Buenos Aires, Argentina, South America Dear Brother Williamss Under date of February 15, 1922 we received from Brother E. H* Yilcox, of the Lakc Titicaca Mission, a letter, a copy of which is enclosed herewith. You will note that in this letter were contained two orders, one for six Pressure Cookers, and the other for a subscription to “Popular tiechanics" nagazine. We gave attention to both orders. At a Inter date, in fact it was under date of September 4, 1922, Brother Holir wrote us stating that he had received a bilí from the South American División office for ^2.90 for the subscription to “Popular Mechantes” and that also a bilí had been received from the Review & Herald Publishing Association for £3.50, and a credit memorándum for fifty cents in connection with the sane order. Upon investí gation we found that Brother 1 ileox liad duplicated his order, sending one order to the Roview & Herald Publishing Association and the other to us. In December 1922 your office charged us back with tliis $2.90 with the Information that the Casa Editora Susamericana had been charged by the Roview & Herald Publishing Association for this süb-scription. After we had investigated tho case and found that two orders had been issued, and that we had meroly carried out our part of the transaction for Brother Wilcox, we saw no reason why he should not be responsible for the duplication and we, therefore, rebilled you for the amount, and liad supposed that the transaction was closed. But this morning I have received a letter from Brother Phillips in which he States that you have instructed him to return this bilí to us again inasriuoh as we had stated in our letter that Brother Wilcox ordered this magazine direct, and did not pass it through the Union office in the regular way. I am rather surprised that you had give this instruction, as it appears to us that you have takon advantage of a technicality in order to st've Brother Wilcox from paying for the result of his duplicated order. I can hardly explain it in any othor way, for if this bilí is to be re- Mr. V/. H. Williams 2 — turned to us because of the order having becn sent direct to us instoad of through the Union office, then why was not the chargc for the six Pressuro Cookers which Brother Wilcox ordered in the same letter also turned back to us? Why retum to us the small Ítem of |2.90 and accept the much larger charge for the cookers? We have always tried, Brother Williams, to guard your interests ín the matter of accepting orders from individuáis within your field, and there have been very few times when we have made any exceptions to the rule so far as accepting orders originating in your field. We have never felt that the rule that all orders ?ust pass through the Union office was ore which had no elasticity in it, but if this is your position and we must religiously adhere to the plan that we are not to honor any order which may come to us from your torritory which does not pass through the Union office, we will try to follow this plan; but we feel, however, that if this is to be your plan there will be some cases where an injustice will be done to some of your workers. Only last weck a letter carne in from Brother Hancock asking us to rcmit §25 to the Southwestem Júnior College for tho benefit of some relativo of his who is in school thero. We recognized tho fact that Brother Hancock should have passed his order through the Austral Union office, and we informed him of this, but know-ing that Brother Hancock had only recently reached your field and that he ivas the president of one of your local conferences, and that embarrassnent might be caused to tho individual whom this money was to benefit were we to refuse payment until we had had, time to write to Brother Hancock and he in turn gct authorization for the payment back to us through the Austral Union we felt justified in making an exception tó our usual rule, and as I have stated we informed Brother Hancock tliat vzc were making an exception. We have had to act in the same way with similar cases. IJow, if we aro to change all this and expect to see your office retum to us any charges which have not beon authorized by your unión offices, then we would like to have instruction to this effect. I can hardly believe that Eider E. II. Wilcox would refuse to pay this bilí for the reason that he himself had not sent his order through the regular channels, and I feel sure that he must recognize the fact that he duplicated his order. Under these circumstances I feel quite sure that had you passed on tho charge to him he would have paid it. I judge from the letter that I have received from Brother Phillips that it will be neces-sary for us to enter into corrospondence with Eider Wilcox and ask him to remit the money to us direct. With kind regarás, and awaiting with interest furthcr instruction from you, I am, Very sincereíy your brother, HHC/g W. A. SPICER, PRESIDENT J. L. SHAW.TREASURER A. G. DANIELES.

Wilcox, Casilla 85, Puno, Perú, South America Dear Brother Wilcox: I am enclosing herewith a copy of a letter which I have just written to Brother W. H. Williams, which I think you will find self-explanatory. You will see from this letter that we have been left in a rather peculiar position with reference to the amount which we paid out for a subscription to "Popular Mechanics" on your request. The South American División has refused to accept our bilí and it, therefore, becomes necessary for us to ask you to send a remittance direct to us for the amount. I feel sure, Brother Wilcox, that you will appreciate out situation and will not hesitate to adjust this matter, inasmuch as we carried out your instructions in good faith with no thought but what our bilí to you would be accepted when presented through the División office. None of the correspondence which has come to our office has indicated to us whether you were receiving two copies of "Popular Mechanics" or only one. If only one copy has been coming to you, then I think you should take up the matter with the publishers, but in any case it does not seem to me that the General Conference should have to lose the amount which we have charged to you simply because of a duplication of order on your part. I will appreciate hearing from you at an early date regarding the matter, for we very much desire to have it adjusted rather than to be carrying on correspondence back and forth regarding it.

Wilcox, Casilla 85, Puno, Perú, South America. Dear Brother: Your good letter of March 26 received. Perhaps now I ought not to write you so soon to get another letter into your file as I see you have something of a hard time to catch up with correspondence by cleaning out that unanswered letter basket. Well, Brother Wilcox, keep up good cheer for all of us suffer the same affliction. We get behind with our work and many to whom we would be glad to write,have to wait. You are in a very interest-ing mission field and naturally the reporta you are able to send on telling of the wonderful progress the message is making up there among the Inca Indiana is of interest all over. We feel that if you will get these reporta direct to us it will aupply much of the demand,perhaps, and so lessen our calla for reporta aomewhat. Anyhow, we feel the Mission Board headquarters of our world work should receive first attention in reporta from all our missionaries and so we ever feel free to write the workers no matter where they may be stationed. Now that these Missions Rally Sabbaths are on we are looking for some especially fresh reporta direct from auch fields as the Inca Union Mission, the Solomon lalands, Africa, andjother sections where a splendid work is going forward. Perhaps some of the workers, Brother Wilcox, out in the stations in the Lake Titicaca section will be able to supply some of these needed reporta. We are just mailing the Mission Rally program for Sabbath, May 19. We feel that it is a very good one. Perhaps this letter will be able to inclose one of them for you so you can get some idea of what we are needing in supplying the field with matter that will prove a mission uplift on these days when an effort is being made by the chunches in the home field here, to "square up” their sixty- Wilcox. -2- cents-a-week goal. We do hopo to come out even this year so tnat more missionaries may be sent forward to the waiting fíelas. I am sure you will have a good conference with the mission directora called in. At that time Brethren Thompson, Stevens, and Crager ex-pect to meet with you. We have much to be thankful for. God surely is working in a marvelous way for His people in various places. A letter just in from Brother G. F. Jones tells of his work in laboring among savages in the mountains of New Guinea. This letter contains a thrilling report of real experiences in encountering demons them-selves as they have sought to gain back the young people gathered inte the training school where they were being taught the truths of the message. Satan surely evidenced that he was mad taking pos-session of these boys in answer to an invitation it seems they had given the spirits to visit them. Brother Jones said they surely visited them all right enough. They were engaged all one day in casting out the demons through prayer and commands in the ñame of Jesús and these wicked spirits obeyed. It surely is evidence that the enemy has come down with great wrath knowing that he hath but a short time; but the brethren carne off conquerors and these young men were given a lesson that will probably serve them the rest of their natural lives having known what it means to be under the influ-ence of the evil one and being delivered from his power. We know, Brother Wilcox, it must be very distressing to not be able to answer the calis coming to you and the workers sent on instead of opening new work must simply step into missions where the workers have had to leave on sick furlough, but the Lord knows all about it. He knows, too, how hard it is for us to find suitable candidates in answering the calis, here at this end. It seems a pity that Dr. Elvin must suffer the loss of his companion. This surely was a severe blow. Well, keep up good courage and give us some definite reports from some section where, perhaps, the work is meeting its most severe opposition. Trusting this may find you holding your own healthwise and that the enemy is being defeated in his attempts to overthrow the truth among the Inca Indiana by holding his grip upon their hearts and lives, and assuring you of an interest in our prayers, I remain, with kind regards Sincerely your brother, c TEB*K. ífc Juliaca April 22,1923 Lear Bro. Wilcox:- I a® writing this letter hoping you will get it as you return from Lima. We are as well as could be expected. I have been up several days on crutches and feel nene the worse for it. At first the blood rushed to t~he broken leg and made it hurt some. II o w however it does not fe., bother me . I have been up town twice—now and enjoy the exercise it gives me after spending so much time in bed. It seemed I never would get out rf bed but all things come te them that wait so they say. Doctor/ thinks I will be able to the first boat over in June and be all right. I had wanted to go oven even sooner, but he says it will not be best and so I shall stay because I do not want any more trouble with it. Aleo shall— t«ke your advice and wait till doctor says it will be safe fol* me to go. It seems hard for me to take so mueh time away from my station when therw is so mueh to de but G-od knows best and we eaa not go beyond what God commnnds. I have been able to have some time to think and th.US have some plans formed that I believe will increase our offerings and thus still be able to get our goal even though we be late. We are hoping to do in the seven months left what we should do during the first párt of the year and have not been able to. You see we are planning on getting the •03 gold per member this year in Piata and my delay here in Juliaca is kind oí hard to bear but we still plan on it and if possible expect to get 4t. We believe we can do it with the plans we have arranged at present. The teachers have promised to cooperateand ^ith them one can do a great de«l of animating. I have made out a'séiWof bible readings for the teachers following the baptismal subjects «nd expect them to give them to the bretheren in their districts,also to those who are in baptismal class. Aa soon as I return, in our teachers meetings we will go over them together one or two eacn meeting. Not that I expect to have them handle my class for me but they can do domething towards te&ch* ing them and when I give my sermons it will be easier for all of them. I believe it—a good plan to use the teachers all one can outside of s school hours. The bretheren/ like it much better also if the—teachers and interpreter visit them and sing and teach them the bible. S© I am trying out this plan this year. Hope to keep my teachers and interpreter busy all thru the year. Say brother Wileox we had a package sen-t from the States some time last Oetober and have n@t received it yet. We can hardly believe it lost and are hoping it might be in Moliendo stacked up somewhere in the eustum house. I am told that by going to the custum «uthorities one can get them. They say that lots of packages are just stacked up and left till some convenient time to look at them and send them on.So I shall send an extra note giving youi. authority to get it out for- me should they make a fuss about it you could show the wjithorizat^on. Hope you shall have a good time in Lima and besides a good oha&oe for a jolly vacstion in Moliendo and A_requipa. Sorry we will not be back for that convention you expect to holá in June but hope we can if you do not decide to hold it to early. I am anxious to have the offerings and Tithe pushed. I believe it will be a gx good thing. For this time there As nothing more. Hope to see you at the train when you come up and we catfférlittle talk then. As ever lam your brother in Chridt, J.

MACE, OFFICE SECRETARY Home missionary Department OF THE GENERAL CONFERENCE OF SEVENTH-DAY ADVENT1STS TAKOMA PARK, WASHINGTON, D. C. TELEGRAPHIC ADDRESS “GENERAL CONFERENCE” WASHINGTON, D. C. April 22, 1923. CABLE ADDRESS “ADVENTIST” WASHINGTON Eider E. H. Wilcox, Casilla 85, Puno, Perú, S.A. Dear Brother Wilcox: Your kind letter of March 23rd was received a few days ago and read with muoh interest. I wish to thank you for the pictures you enclosed. They were very interesting to me, and expeoíally the one which showed the progress you had made on your Normal School. It always makes me feel lonesome to hear aboút the work there and to see the pictures which come from time to time. My héart is still with you folks even though I am not with you personally. They say variety is the spice of life, and I guess you folks have enough of a variety of experiences to keep things from getting monotonous. I know the years I spent in that field were not dull of case * and I look back with much pie asure upon the time spent there and regret very much that I cannot be there now, although I am enjoying the work here in North America, yet it is not like the work in the foreign field. If you have not already received word you probably will before long relativo to the actions taken at the Spring Council pertaining to your field. As I remember them the Brother Dement and Brother Isaac Schnei^der of California were asked to connect with the work in your field. Brother Cari Riffelof Oklahoma to go to the Inca Union as Home Missionary and field secretary. Of course I do not know if these brethren will go to the fields, but at least these actions were passed at the Council. They had a good Spring Council here at headquarters and a note of courage is being sounded in all the fields. Our people are very sym-pathetic with the work in the far off lands and our leading brethren are not neglectful in keeping the matter before them at every convenient opportunity. No doubt your hearts rejoiced when you leamed of the restoration of the 2&J% which was cut from your budget and then the ad-dition of 10% to the work in South America this year. I do not know how much of this last item your fieldwill be the beneficiary, but it gave the brethren here a great joy to pass this good word on to the field. This was all made possible by the sacrificing efforts of our faithful workers and members here in the homeland. I am sure none of them here want any of our missionaries to return, or the work to be held up in any way. I have been glad to leam that you brethren in that field had decided to join with the rest of the world in the sacrifica offering, and it encourages those in the homeland to see our workers and people in the pioneer fields manifesting this good spirit. E.H.W. — 2 - I noted with much interest the Ítems relative to the work at the new station near Cuzco, and I shall watch with much interest the developments of the work there» I had a short letter from Brother Elvin while he was en route to Panama and he promi sed to write me more later on» If you receive the two workers recommended from Califomia and the other two promised^vou from Argentina you will again soon be able to man all your central óitieá^Vith foreign directora, but in addition to this you should have two or three extra men for emergency» You know how I feel personally about the Laro Station, and I believe that you will be justified in putting another man there in charge unless the situation is ohanged materially» I do not believe Brother Wilcox, that our other good brother there will ever develop that station as it should be» To my mind he will make a better man in connection with someone else at a large station al-ready developed» I think he will do better under direction than trying to dire^t» I think that is fine about the attendance you have at your new school on the Sabbaths» You will have a large Station there before long» I am awaiting with interest the receipt of the "Puno Briefs" which you said would be sent to me soon» It helps me to keep more in touch with your work there» I am sending you today a copy of our new bulletin here which is being issued quarterly» Well, by this time your meetings are all in the past, and no doubt you made some changes among your workers» I shall be glad to leara of them and of your meeting» In a few days I expect to leave for the North Pacific Union to work in that field for about five weeks, from there to go to Colorado Springs and attend a Young People’s Convention for two or three days» From that meeting go on to México City to assist in a general convention June 28 - July 8» Retuming to the United States about July 15 to attend the camp-meetings of the Southwestern Union until September 2, at which time I expect to retum to the office here» Mrs» Peterson and Betty will spend the time during my absence in VíigcoMin and Michigan» We hope the trip there will build her up personally» She is enjoying good health, but of course not very strong from the setback received in México last year» Betty is growing and has not altogether forgotten Perú» She still speaks a few words of Spanish» Trust you and Sister Wilcox are in good health and good courage in the Lord and hope to hear from you again at your convenience, I remain, Faithfully your brother, EFP:W Juliaca,Peru, APril 24, 1923. Lear Bro. Colburn: f our lettei oí the 13th. cu ¡e *to hand a few days ago as well as the factura for the rotor oil. I aleo have one of those barréis of ¿asoline from the States , and 1 presume that it should be charlea ano. rpported, ana I know of no better way than to report the whole amt. as soon as I learn the price, as the gas is uses only on the motorcycle, and if it is charged to me in a lump sum it also ought to be credited to me in the sume manner, as it makes ones account look bad to have it run oehina. The tracts that you mención were to haVe been charged to missionary work as a general expense item. A little later when we get a little better establisht financially, I X expect to do a little more of this line oí work, on my own acct., but as it is at present, having not only my own acct. to carry, but that of the mission ana the “hospital" as well in the various stores, it keeps us ,ietty well on the rocks all the time. The amt. of s/l.bO that you mentioned on the Feb. report is not an item of personal expense,-Inever ygport such . it is an item connected with moving our things from Platería. It carne about in this way: the litóle boy helper drove the burros and the little girl helped hirn and watched the things in between trips, while the man mentioned piloted us in and out of the channel and pushed the boats out when they became stuck. Thus you will redily see that this was also necessary expense that couldá not well be clasified as “cargadores", so I put it under the heading of “Jaelpers" • I have here a ciedit item from Bro. Mm. ailler that I wish you to place on my account. He has it figured at s/ 37.83, but it appears that he has figured to pay for some things that we intended that they should have gratis, so if you will olease make it s/27.00 instead of the aforesaid amt. I will be thankful. Mrs. «T. wishes to know the price of those English First Readers, will you do us the favor of telling us the price of the same. I stand corrected on the Mar. report. I find that ^t is s/20.63 instead of s/30.65. Thanks for the correction. Hoping that all is well in Puno, I-beg to remain, Saludos á todos. Very sincerely yours, Puno, Box 85, April 24, 1923 Uission Directors:- Tho time is drawing near when the schools will be start-¡bng. HJaoh teoher has been instructed to be at the central station a-round the f irst of May and the schools aro to start the 7th of Hay. The The teachers that arrive there in time to commence their schools on time their. pay will begin the Ist of I¿ay. We desire that each school strive this year to have at least four good Windows with ’lass, a rood door that can be locked, at least two ¡rood tablea with four benches, a map of Perú, a map of the world and a good blackboard. This will mean a little work, but I think that it will ^be easier to keep up our schools and got the matriculation if we have bettor schools and better equipment. If we can get right out and have the people come to gether and tell them that we have Government licenses and this will mean that we should have the best schools in the country, I am aure they will be onthusiastic. For examjle, the other day I was ^isiting one of the our-schools with a Fission Director and hhis school did not evon have doors or Windows, only the holes for them. lo told them that they must put doors and Windows in right away, and then we told them the other things that they must have to be a ^ood school and they were enthusiastic and said they were willing to get all these things and they thought they could have a calamina roof on their school house inside of three years. Le had not even suggested this to them, and the roof that they had on was a very good one, so I am sure with a little encourarrement they will do their part., I am sorry that I cannot send out at this time the cost of these things, bul 1 haven't it in hand now. I will write to different places right away and get prices so they can be furnished. I think it a better plan to work on only a few things at a time. With this lettcr I will send programo for the teachers snd 1 wish that they would follow this program as nearly as possiblo. There has been a slakkness on the starting and closing of school each day. I desire th’ t this will be mude uniform in all of our schools and it lan be done if the programs are followed. If we could get the indians to buy a dock for each school and make the teacher responsible for it, and then after school is out to turn it in to the central station this might hdp out in running on schedule time. This working to a program has much to do with charaater. Bro. lolburn tells me that these docks can be soló for such pwuposes for S/7.00. On Fridays, th> plan is to run school right through without noon until ono o’clock and then let out for the day, but this is only for Fridays. All expenses of the teachers should be put on their first months report. 1 will cióse for this time trusting that all is going well and will continuo so. I hope to visit ail schools in the near futuro. Bincerely yours, Puno, Box 85, April 24, 1923 L'ission Directors:- The time is drawinpr near when the schools will be stnrt-d>ng. H¡ach techer has been instructed to be at the central station a-round the first of May and the schools aro to s tart the 7th of May. ’The The teachers that arrive there in time to commence their schools on time their pay will be^in the Ist of May.

If we can ret ri^ht out and have the people come to crether and tell them that we have Government licensos and this will mean that we should have the best cchools in the country, I am sure they will be onthusiastic. T’or exaraole, tho other dny I was tfisitin# one of the our-sohools with a l'ission Director and hhis school did not even have doors or Windows, only the heles for them. V e told them that they must put doors and Windows in ri^ht away, and then we told them the other thinrs that they must have to be a vood school and they were enthusiustic and said thoy were willinq; to ^et all these thlnre and they thought they could have a calamina roof on their school house incide of three years. . e had not even su^ested this to them, and the roof that they had on was a very Tood one, so I nía sure with a little eneourarreannt they will do their part. I am sorx'y that I cannot send out at this timo the cost of these things, bu*, I havon’t it in hand now. I will write to different places ri**ht nway and ret prices so they can be furnishod. I think it a better plan to work on only a fev thinrs at a time. Vith this letter I will send propprnms for the teachers and 1 wish that they would follow this prorrata as neurly as possible. There has been a slakkness on the startinT: and closinT of school oach day. I desire thrt this will be made uniform in all of our schools and it dan bo dono if the programa are followed.
