A Call for a Pioneer Teacher
By W. A. Spicer
BROTHER MOORE, of Cuba, sends us a quotation from a letter he has received from a brother who lives in the Isle of Pines, south of Cuba. This brother writes him:— “I am thinking of moving to the south part of this island, on the seacoast. It is being newly settled by people from the island of Grand Cayman, West Indies, of which I am a native. On that part of the Isle of Pines there are at present more than sixty people. If we had a teacher, a school could be opened. One family alone has ten children, another seven, and others five and six. There are some young women from sixteen to eighteen years old who should have an education. The majority belong to the Presbyterian church of Cayman. I feel there is an opportunity here for the presentation of the message through the children, if we could have a teacher very soon. The only thing that stands in the way of one going there is that the mail reaches the place only about once in two weeks.” Brother Moore himself adds: “I feel that this is an opening that should be filled by some young person who is prepared to teach, and is desirous of a missionary experience. Of course no large salary could be expected.” We make the need known, and shall be glad to put any one who desires further information in touch with the brethren in Cuba. W. A. SPICER,
