Mexico

By M. C. McCULLOCH

LA RIVERA.—In the REVIEW I saw that at the council of the General Conference Committee it had been decided to send help to some parts of Mexico, but Tampico was not mentioned among them. I have started to teach three children but I realize that without help I can not continue and build up a work here, as I can not be teacher, housekeeper, matron, and everything in one.
If we could have a little help (one teacher would be enough for the present), we could soon build up a self-supporting work that would be a great help to the cause in this field, and a blessing to the children. There are many Mexican children in the village who would like to come in as day pupils, but I can not take them. My desire is to go on with the work here, and see a good, strong mission built up; it seems as if I can not give up now.
I have a small piece of land cleared, and about ready to plant; and as we had a nice rain yesterday, we want to get something out as soon as possible. The good wood has been cut, and they are getting it out on the canal bank now, to sell to the steamers. It pays the expense of clearing the land.
