Conditions in Portugal

By C. E. RENTFRO.

I HAVE spent a few weeks out with the colporteurs, both to encourage them and to share in this blessed means of spreading the light. The incredulity seen on every hand is appalling. The name of Jesus is heard by multitudes with scorn. One meets the same spirit toward religion that we read of in the history of the French Revolution.

Now and then we meet people sorrowing over present conditions. The old people especially call for a moral awakening, come by what means it may. We know there is but one way,—to spread abroad the Word of God and the literature by which to interest people in Bible study. We have begun the publication of a paper, Os Signaes dos Tempos ("Signs of the Times"), by which to call attention to the signs of the soon-coming King. C. E. RENTFRO. Lisbon.
