Progress of the Work Abroad
BROTHER A. N. ALLEN writes a very interesting letter from San Antonio, Spanish Honduras, where he is engaged in teaching in a private family, devoting half his time to canvassing and colporteur work. He says: “The boys in the school are doing nicely. The oldest one is reading with us in worship every21morning.” They read the English, and he the Spanish. The overseer of the farm, a very intelligent man, has purchased a Spanish Bible, and is reading it and our tracts. Brother Allen says that every time he goes into their home, he finds the wife reading the Bible. He is enjoying much of the blessing of the Lord, and finds many opportunities to advance the work. OUR workers in Mexico are forming little centers in different parts of the country, from which the truth may be carried to the people. Brother Bodwell will go to San Luis Potosi. He will canvass the city. Brother Harzman, who will accompany him, will start work in some of the intervening towns along the road to Guadalajara. Elder Leland has located in Zapotlan, in the State of Jalisco. This is southwest of Guadalajara. The Lord is blessing in the work. BROTHER J. N. ANDERSON writes from Canton of the progress of the work in the Chinese empire: “Brother and Sister Wilbur are getting along quite well in Hongkong, where they are living in a house made vacant by the death of Brother La Rue. Brother Wilbur is doing well selling our periodicals and books, in connection with his study and other missionary work. He has some very interested ones with whom he is laboring. Miss Thompson is also located with them, and has charge of the school and health food business.” Brother and Sister Anderson are devoting their time to studying the language, and report some success. The workers are all delighted over the prospect of medical missionaries being sent there, especially Brother Pilquist. He says that he has more calls than he can fill. Besides the work at the home station, he is preaching at three out-stations, and a fourth is about to be opened. A few at each place are interested, and gladly gather for the study of the Word.
