Porto Rico

By N. Z. Town

ELDER WM. STEELE sends the following interesting items regarding the work in Porto Rico during 1914:—
“We have just made up our yearly report for 1914, and we are greatly encouraged when we see how the Lord has blessed us during the year. The total value of books delivered by our colporteurs during the year was $6,304.52; amount received on subscriptions to papers, $1,702.21; total, $8,066.73. This is over $2,000 more than the goal set at our institute in January. Certainly the Lord has been good to us. We hope to do equally well during 1915.
“Our Sabbath school offerings during the year amounted to a little more than 15 cents a week per member. We are glad that we can have a place on the honor roll. Our tithe lacked only a few cents of $1,200, which is an increase over 1913. We had an excellent week of prayer. The Lord’s good Spirit came in, and the brethren are stirred as never before.
“In the town of Moca, where Brother Moon and I have been holding meetings, a small company has been raised up, and this month Brother Moon expects to build a chapel there. The town council of Moca promised to give our doctor the medical work of the municipality if we would send one there. The doctor could look after the spiritual welfare of the people as well as heal the sick, and would have an unlimited field for missionary work. The city pays $50 monthly for such services.”
