Porto Rico

By Mrs. Ida M. Fischer

MAYAGUEZ.—Our work is onward. We are taxed to our utmost to know how to fill the openings. I am enjoying my work. My heart is burdened for the educated and wealthy. We all realize that they must be reached by some other way than through preaching, because we can not get them out where they must come in contact with the common people. Caste seems as great a hindrance here as the colored question is in the South.

There is much to be done, and, being a woman, I am handicapped by some of their customs. But there is a place for every one; and if I do faithfully that which God has given me to do, he will bless it, and let it bring forth fruit.

MRS. IDA M. FISCHER.
