Mexico

By G. M. Brown

GUADALAJARA.—We have had most excellent meetings here. Yesterday the Lord came especially near to us. The eighth annual convention of young people's societies and Sunday-schools of Mexico, which has been held here in the sanitarium, closes to-day. I have been in attendance, and have met missionaries from all over the country. They have treated me very cordially, and shown a friendly spirit in many ways, asking me to present a paper on the inspiration of the Bible, and to preside over one of the meetings of the convention, which I did, though I was rather diffident about doing so, on account of my imperfect use of the Spanish. Many of the missionaries are, of course, opposed to our work; but I feel that as long as they are willing to seek our co-operation along lines that are right, we ought to meet their advances in a brotherly spirit, rather than to hold aloof. They have done pioneer work, and we are reaping, and will reap more, of the fruits of their seed-sowing, and I think that it is right to recognize this fact.

Since coming here I have baptized a young lady patient, who has united with this church. She is having a good experience. Personally I have much for which to thank God; and as he has given me a little part in the work, I hope by his help to do faithfully what my hand finds to do. G. M. BROWN.
