Porto Rico

By MRS. IDA M. FISCHER.

CATANO.—I have lived over two years in Porto Rico, and most of the time has been spent in Mayaguez.

Realizing that a change would be beneficial, it was decided that I take a trip to some of the other towns. From San Juan I took the ferry and crossed the bay to Catano. It was in this little town that we first located in the island. As my visit was only missionary, I had but little time to notice my surroundings; in fact, I had no desire to.

After much inquiry I found the gentleman and his family for whom I was looking. This gentleman was the first one with whom my husband did missionary work on the island. As he could read and understand the English language well, he loaned him “Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation.” We had written him several letters and sent him papers, but they had been returned. Still feeling deeply interested in him, I called, and learned that he had read the book several times, and believed its truths, and had loaned it to others. I left him some reading-matter, and we expect to keep in touch with him.
