Then we had a message by Patricio and there was splendid attention. He spoke a 
long time, having read the passage in Luke on the crucifixion. At the c 1 osing hymn, 
three lads stood up as one person. Patricio stopped playing the organ, said a few words 
and others stood, One lad of 16 got up. He was sickly, consumptive. I did not know 
that he was saved. Evidently the call was for messengers of the Gospel, and the one 
who sounded the call is certainly a born preacher. Pray for him that Satan shall not 
get an entrance, and that he will always have on the whole armour of God, and that 
the fiery darts of the devil shall not be able to penetrate. Our enemy is so astute and 
alert these days. He is working overtime as he no doubt realizes that his time is short. 
Oh that we as Christians were as active and alert in the cause of our Lord Jesus. What 
a difference in the church of today if we were all faithful. 
You will be interested to hear that the rafters are being put on the new school 
building today; that is, some of them are. We would appreciate your prayers on behalf 
of this work. It is going on so slowly. It is from the school that we get the attendance 
for the children's meetings. I have noticed that when we have no school work here 
the children do not come out so well. Then too. we have the opportunity of sowing the 
seed while the hearts are young. May I quote a few sentences that I read in a Christian 
magazine last week? "When we realize that the Word of God has nower to overcome 
the Evil one, is there any occasion for wonder that he ooposes it with all the malignant 
strength which he possesses?" Bearing in mind that Satan does oppose the Word of 
God what a comfort there is in the realization that the Word has power to overcome 
him." 
We would appreciate your prayers in regard to Burity, that God will supply all the 
need for the opening up of a work there. The roads are still too bad for Mr. Hunrichs 
to go by auto and he will be going on ahead to see about houses, etc. Burity is seven 
leagues from Correntes and there is the problem of moving what few things we will 
need to take along. The rafters are all on the new school building and the roof is going- 
on today. When completed it will surely be something good and also a splendid testi- 
mony to the Gospel. Though Cor. Nicolau promised tiles, his promises are not what we 
can depend upon. He also promised that we could live in the village at Burity and 
asked Mr. Hunrichs to send him a letter for him to sign to that effect. The letter has 
not returned yet. He said also that the Brazilian government may go back to old times 
— State and Church, which we didn't like.
