and in Potosi four times, and each time <strong>the</strong> audiences<br />

seemed to have appreciated it more than be<strong>for</strong>e.<br />

When it was shown to a small group <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice men <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> tin mine in Pulacayo, <strong>the</strong>y enjoyed it so much that<br />

<strong>the</strong>y agreed to have <strong>the</strong> local paid picture in <strong>the</strong> local<br />

cine canceled <strong>the</strong> next night so as to put on our film<br />

free <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> miners and <strong>the</strong> people <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> town. Besides<br />

<strong>the</strong> handbills distributed <strong>the</strong> administrator <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> cine<br />

put out a sign "Don't miss this unusual picture." It was<br />

shown to a full house <strong>of</strong> more than 600 persons, and <strong>the</strong><br />

audience enjoyed it very much. The next day it was<br />

shown in a hall in a hospital <strong>the</strong>re also.<br />

The bro<strong>the</strong>rs <strong>report</strong> various interesting experiences<br />

about finding persons <strong>of</strong> good will with whom studies<br />

resulted and also about persons becoming interested out<br />

in <strong>the</strong> country far from congregations and Kingdom<br />

Halls. A missionary sister in La Paz, delivering subscription<br />

magazines to a subscriber, got into a discussion<br />

with <strong>the</strong> man's young daughter over <strong>the</strong> question<br />

<strong>of</strong> Christ's literal bro<strong>the</strong>rs. The girl had so many texts<br />

to support her side <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> argument that she just knew<br />

that <strong>Jehovah</strong>'s witnesses were lying when <strong>the</strong>y said that<br />

Mary had o<strong>the</strong>r children after <strong>the</strong> birth <strong>of</strong> Jesus. However,<br />

when <strong>the</strong> evidence was presented that, besides<br />

<strong>the</strong> cousins <strong>of</strong> Jesus, <strong>the</strong>re were his bro<strong>the</strong>rs also, some<br />

<strong>of</strong> whom had <strong>the</strong> same names as his cousins, she began<br />

to realize that she did not know <strong>the</strong> Bible as thoroughly<br />

as she had thought and she was confused. She prayed<br />

to her virgin that if <strong>the</strong> missionary was wrong and her<br />

because she knows <strong>the</strong>y are based on <strong>the</strong> Bible.<br />

Ano<strong>the</strong>r missionary sister <strong>report</strong>ed quite an unusual<br />

experience from Cochabamba. One day she was surprised<br />

to find an Indian man at <strong>the</strong> door with a Spanish<br />

"Let God Be True" in his hand when she answered <strong>the</strong><br />

doorbell. He was from <strong>the</strong> country and he told how,<br />

upon reading his Bible, he found that it taught about<br />

<strong>Jehovah</strong> God and that Christ Jesus worshiped his Fa<strong>the</strong>r<br />

as God, whereas his "Evangelical" Church put Jesus<br />

<strong>for</strong>emost without so much as mentioning <strong>Jehovah</strong>. He<br />

had come to Cochabamba some time be<strong>for</strong>e to look <strong>for</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> organization that worshiped <strong>Jehovah</strong> as God, and,<br />

after walking up and down <strong>the</strong> streets, he came across
