Cuba

By E. W. Snyder

MARIANAO.— While getting acquainted with the Cubans and native pastors of other churches, I have improved the time by canvassing some for “Coming King.” The Cuban pastors were quite friendly, inviting me to speak to their congregations, which I did. One Cuban who heard me asked the privilege of calling on me. As the law chart in Spanish was hanging on the wall, he began to read. Coming to the fourth commandment, he asked me why “Domingo” was observed instead of the “Sábado” according to the commandment. This gave me a good opportunity to present the Sabbath question, with the result that he is now keeping it faithfully. In addition to this case a Spanish brother is also keeping the Sabbath.

The Cuban brother is very zealous to find openings for us to present the truth. It was difficult for us to find a place for meetings in reach of the people, but at last the way opened, and we have secured a large front room at a rental of $9.70 a month. We are now in the midst of a series of meetings, and although the Cubans are slow to move, the interest is steadily growing. One family came from a neighboring town, and were so much interested that they desired meetings in their house, and last week when we went there, we found fourteen present, all of whom gave good attention.

The way is open in all directions to extend our work, and the people need this message more than anything else.
