The Work in Porto Rico

By D. D. Fitch

ELDER D. D. FITCH writes of his work in Porto Rico:—
“A year has passed since Mrs. Fitch, mother, and I left California to take up work in Santurce, P. R. The work from the start has been very interesting. As the result of determined efforts on the part of Elder Steele, the superintendent of the field, a church building had been made possible here in Santurce. This was nearly finished upon our arrival, and was soon in use. This building is used Sabbath morning by the Spanish people, and in the afternoon by the English.
“The enthusiasm and love for the message manifested by this people is very commendable indeed. During May and June I have had the privilege of baptizing fourteen persons, all adults save one, a boy of fifteen.”
“I am sure that the Lord is calling out those who will later be active in the proclamation of the message. I am making a strong effort to get all the members well posted and fortified in the truth. Prior to baptism, I am giving each candidate a thorough personal examination on the points of faith.”
