Porto Rico

By B. E. Connerly

MAYAGUEZ.—I am home again from another trip through the island. Thus far this month I have visited fifteen towns. But how few I find who are seeking for the truth! I found more interest in the paper than before, and had the privilege of talking with some ministers, two of whom confessed that the Sabbath of the fourth commandment should be kept. I also met a number of Catholic priests. All treated me cordially, and one admitted that the signs indicated an early return of the Lord. I am so glad that I am now able to converse with the people and to read to them from the Bible, though it is still very difficult for me to talk. I had many precious experiences during this trip. I found the Americans far more susceptible to the truth than ever before. The time of seed-sowing is indeed a glorious privilege, and we are anxious to try our hands at cultivating the springing blades. B. E. CONNERLY.
