Mosquito Indians

By H. C. Goodrich

I HAVE a letter from one of our Indian brethren on the Mosquito Coast of Nicaragua. He reports that he is going from house to house to sing and pray and read the Bible with his countrymen. Five of these Indians are engaged in this good work. At first, the leader says, the people often ran away when they came to read with them, but now they have more calls than they can fill.
The Mosquito Indians are the real natives of Nicaragua. Among these people the work has opened up in a remarkable way. As the result of the good work mentioned above, a company of Indians has been raised up at Pearl Lagoon. Five have been baptized, and five or six others are now awaiting baptism.
The Moravian missionaries have done a good work among these Indians. Many have been changed from a wild, superstitious, drunken condition to good, steady citizens.
