The Work in Mexico

By G. W. CAVINESS

ALTHOUGH in the midst of troubles and confusion, the work is going forward in Mexico in spite of every hindrance. Recently Brother Martin and Elder Leland went to Monterey, held meetings with our people there, and baptized seven. There are about as many others who desire to be baptized, but who need to have further instruction in the truth first.

From El Paso and Juarez, just across the line, Brother Robles writes: “Our company here is growing in both knowledge and numbers.” Recently several were baptized. He also writes that he has received word from Torreon that the brethren there are doing the best they can under the difficult circumstances. He tells of a sister coming to them from Aldama, saying that she herself was a Seventh-day Adventist, that there was a small company of believers in the place from which she came, and that they were very anxious to have some of our laborers visit them as soon as possible. He also writes that a number of places in Texas and New Mexico are calling for workers among the Mexican people.

We are hoping and praying that our work in Mexico will not be hindered very long, and that our people may be kept during these difficult times. From some places we learn that food is scarce; indeed, the writer of one letter says the brethren are living on one meal a day, and sometimes they are scarcely able to get that. But He who cares for the sparrow is able to care for his children; and we do hope that these in Mexico may be kept by that Almighty power, and that the time may not be long delayed when the workers may return and carry forward the message until the whole country has been lighted by the gospel of the kingdom.
