Mexico Open to the Gospel

MISSIONARIES tell us that Mexico is now wide open to receive the gospel. There is a growing desire on the part of the people to hear the gospel of Christ. “There is not a state of anarchy in Mexico,” writes one missionary. “Bandits do not roam about the country plundering and murdering. The great crisis that Mexico faces today is one of finances. The worst conditions are to be found in cities. In the small towns and country districts, work goes on almost the same as usual.” The feeling against Protestants is changing, and many Mexicans are coming to realize that to find Christ is the one thing essential. Several officers in the various armies are young men who have attended mission schools, and they are helping create a favorable sentiment toward missionaries. The present is therefore a favorable time for reaching Mexicans with the message, nearly the whole southern portion of the republic being now open for mission work.
