Mexico

By Elder G. W. Caviness

ELDER G. W. CAVINESS writes from California, concerning the work in Mexico:— “I have received good word from Mexico. One of our canvassers was in Salina Cruz last year, and met a young Spaniard, talked the truth to him, and sold him some literature. I understand that he was with him not more than an hour or two. The canvasser went his way, and nothing was heard for some months, when the Spaniard sent for more literature, and said that about eighteen were keeping the Sabbath there. Dr. W. S. Swayze visited them, and reports a nice company. The young Spaniard is a brick- or stone-mason, and works by day, but holds meetings every night with about twenty interested persons, who are leaving off their bad habits, and taking hold of the Sabbath and other truths as they learn them.

“A letter sent to me from a place in the state of San Luis Potosi promises to furnish a hall or room for preaching, if we will send the man to do the preaching. Another letter from a minister of forty-five years’ experience says he never saw anything so clear as El Mensajero on the prophecies. He wants to be agent for the paper. My wife writes that our little meeting-place is so full that they are thinking strongly of getting a larger place. The two brethren who are canvassing sell and take subscriptions amounting to about one hundred dollars apiece each month. We are trying to do all we can to satisfy the demands for books in Spanish, but expect that they will grow faster, and keep ahead of us. The evidence seems to show that the Lord has gone out before us in every direction.”
