Porto Rico

By Mrs. Ida M. Fischer

MAYAGUEZ.—We reached the island safely, and were glad to get home. We are finding plenty of work to do in almost every branch. At the present time, Brother and Sister Connerly are away for a little trip, looking after the interest in another part of the field. He came home for a few hours to-day to lay plans for the native worker to leave to-morrow for another place. We are a busy company.

We found the work moving nicely. Brother Connerly had just begun a series of lectures on the prophecies. A good interest has been awakened in both the upper and lower parts of the city. Last Sabbath was a good day for us. Although Brother and Sister Connerly and Brother Moulton were absent, we had sixteen out to services. The native worker took the children, while I took the adults. Our lesson was on Acts 1. As we studied the return of Christ in connection with Matthew 24, the Spirit of God witnessed to the truth, and the faces of those who were interested glowed with rapture.

I am glad we as workers can see eye to eye in pressing home this message. The time has come for it in Porto Rico, and we are planning to push it with all the power that God gives us. The Lord has blessed us wonderfully. I am truly thankful for the progress of the message here.
