Porto Rico

By William Steele

I HAVE recently visited the island of Santo Domingo, and am glad to tell you that I left three canvassers at work in that island, one, a brother of considerable experience, who will canvass for “Home and Health,” and two native boys, who speak the Spanish fairly well, and are good, honest young men. They had previously been canvassing some for small books and Bibles. The next day after I showed them how to canvass for Spanish “Coming King,” the younger of the boys in a few hours took twenty-five orders. Undoubtedly they will have excellent success in their field.

I canvassed four and one-half days for our Spanish paper, and took 136 subscriptions. We expect to see the canvassing work go ahead in our field. It has been decided that I spend the most of my time for a few months in canvassing for our literature, helping these new workers, and teaching the language and methods of work to Brethren Cochran and Raff, who are expected from the United States about the fifteenth of March.
