The Work in Cuba

By Chas. Franz.

LAS MINAS.—We are glad to report continued progress at this place. Since our last report Elders U. Bender and G. M. Brown have spent some time with us. Elder Brown baptized four candidates, and organized a church of eighteen members, fourteen of whom are Cubans. Since this, two others have signified their desire to be baptized.

It is an encouragement to the workers here to see the missionary spirit manifested by those new in the faith. This is not only shown in the tithes and offerings that are being faithfully paid, but also in the work being done for those in the vicinity who have not heard the message. We now have the use of a neat little chapel in which to worship, but are very much in need of an organ. Will any of our people in the Eastern States who has a good second-hand organ which he would be willing to donate to this church, and to pay the freight on to Cuba, or at least to New York, please correspond with the writer?

In the school which is being started here there is an opening for several young persons or married couples who wish to work part or all of their way while learning the language preparatory to work in this or other Spanish-speaking fields.

We do not know how long we shall be able to work under such favorable circumstances and without hindrance; therefore should we not press the work while it is day, for the “night cometh, when no man can work”? CHAS. FRANZ.
