Colporteur Work Amid Revolution

The newspaper press gives account of the growing seriousness of revolutionary disturbance in Haiti and San Domingo. Letters from Elder A. F. Prieger, of Haiti, tells how, in order to supply books to our colporteurs at various places, local depositories had been established. In one town an attack was made by revolutionary forces, and our colporteurs with others had to flee to the mountains. The house where their books were stored was burned, and the entire stock was destroyed. Amid such conditions, however, the ten or twelve colporteurs are still keeping up their work among the people.
