An Interesting Experience in Mexico
By Geo. M. Brown
SOME time ago a sister from California accompanied her son to Mexico, where he went to work on a plantation, in the hope of regaining his health. Soon after arriving in the country, this sister sent to the office of the mission for some literature, and began to work with the Mexicans employed on the plantation. Although she did not understand the language, she had the missionary spirit, and an interest was aroused in the mind of one of the Mexican boys, and he began to study the Bible and to learn something of the truth. Finally the sister was obliged, by failing health, to return to California, and she took the Mexican boy with her. He has been converted by the study of the Sabbath-school lessons, being especially impressed by the notes which were taken from Sister White's writings. This sister says, “My heart is in Mexico, and I want to educate this boy, so that if I can not go back, he may return and work for his people.” I trust that this faithful sister and the boy may be remembered in our prayers. Let us pray that our sister's health may be restored, and that this boy may be especially prepared by the Lord for work in the great, dark, needy Mexican field. This experience should encourage all to greater faithfulness in the sowing of the seed. The Lord of the harvest is providing us with a little means to increase our stock of literature, and we need wisdom from him in order that we may use this fund in the best possible manner. GEO. M.
