Mexico

By Geo. M. Brown

MEXICO CITY.—We are having some encouraging experiences. Brother Harzman, a German-Swiss, who has been in attendance at Keene Academy, where he studied Spanish for a year, has come to this field to work as a self-supporting colporteur. He is a man of middle age, has a wife, but no children. We feel quite sure that he will be a valuable addition to our little force of workers.

Recently a Mexican Bible colporteur has begun keeping the Sabbath, and he is going out with another Sabbath-keeping colporteur; so we shall have two in the field. A brother of this new recruit—a minister—is very much interested in the truth.

In May four nurses came to Mexico City. They are doing well financially, and are a help to us. There is room for many more nurses here. We must open up a medical mission in this place as soon as possible.

We have asked a young man from Keene, who has some knowledge of the Spanish, and who spent three years in this country before going to Keene, to act as our secretary, and look after the subscription list of the El Mensajero. We expect to inaugurate a vigorous campaign in behalf of our paper, and see if we can not greatly increase its circulation. We also plan to come in touch with all the Sabbath-keepers in the republic, with a view to keeping them informed concerning the progress of the work. We shall also follow up the readers of our Spanish paper in a systematic way, so that we may help those who are interested in the truth, since we are to have this additional help in the office.
