Encouraging News from Bolivia Carl and Ellen Hoffman-Winter- steen ’20 are back in Cochabamba, and are rejoicing in the way the Christians have b e e n g r o w i n g in grace, and in the art of soul-winning. They participated in a baptismal ser vice held for a couple who were con verted just before they left on fur lough. Others asked for baptism also, but were deferred for further instruc tion. Their hearts rejoiced exceedingly as the Indians took charge of a com munion service, and e x h o r t e d the communicants to “ e x a m i n e your selves, and follow the Lord in holy walk.” Eldon ’38 and Mis. Johnson (Opal Sherier ’37) are waiting at their sta tion in Challapata for the arrival of necessary traveling papers, visas, etc., that they may start to the States on furlough. In the meantime they are happy and busy in the service of the King. Jock and Sally Hawthorne find the natives at Acacio indifferent to spir itual things, with little evidence that missionaries worked there about fif teen years ago. The whole town seems to be in slavery to drink and pagan rites, so they have been working in adjacent territory. Jack made a trip of several hundred miles by horse and mule, visiting isolated ranches and homes. He was rejoiced at open doors to preach the Gospel to some who had never heard, and at the revived in terest of others, who had heard the message in times past. As this issue goes to press, word has been received of the b i r t h of twins to Jack and Sally—Stephen Robert and Judith Yvonne, on Feb ruary 28. Arrie E. Rouintree '34, of Pocoata, tells of a man supposed to be dying, who sent his brother to bring her to his bedside. As soon as he saw Arrie, he began to weep and cried out: “The devils are pulling me into hell, help me.” She believes he found peace that night for he went to sleep; and while he is very old and feeble, she went back later and found him not only alive, but walking around, and want ing to sing and pray with her. At her station they have just concluded the celebration attendant upon All Saints’ Day, with accompanying pagan rites and drunkenness which they claim are performed for the souls of the dead, and not for themselves. Alice Foote ’32 of Cochabamba, has been visiting Arrie Rouintree and tells of their heaviness of heart as they to gether witnessed the slavery of souls to ancient customs. They plead our prayers for the light of the glorious Gospel to penetrate the dark corners of earth. Countless thousands of Bo livians are bound in chains of dark ness—precious souls for whom Christ died. Who will go2
