A Word From Central America

ELDER N. Z. TOWN has been making a tour recently through the Central American field, of which he sends a report that will appear soon in the REVIEW. In a private letter he says:—

“I crossed Honduras from north to south, mostly on mule back. Altogether I had eight and one-half days on a mule. I visited Honduras, Salvador, and Guatemala, and am hoping that my visit to these fields will result in getting some men into them with our books, not later than at the close of the schools next year.

“The book work in Cuba is making good progress. About twenty canvassers are on the list at present. During the first half of this year the orders taken amounted to $12,800 and the deliveries to over $7,200. One Cuban delivered over $1,200 worth in five months.

“I asked the brethren for a man to lead the colporteur work in Spanish Honduras, and they have given me two of the best they have. They will go at the close of the school term, about Jan. 1, 1916.

“I expect to sail tomorrow for San Juan, Porto Rico. After spending about two weeks there, I hope to land in New York some time between the fifteenth and the twentieth of August.”
