Side Trips From Manila

By R. A. Caldwell

By sea and by land the message is to go to every tongue and people. This means that uncomfortable journeys are to be made. In an island field, with small, poorly equipped steamers, this is fully realized. On the coast of Manila Bay is a small province, with a few miniature towns. Another province, with a small population on the outside coast, until now has not been worked. As the boat service is poor, a time has to be chosen when typhoons are not likely to occur, for at such times the boats are unable to call at these towns.

We have no literature in the language of these people; but about twenty families in one small town can read Spanish, so it makes the trip worth while. It is almost six years since the work was first started in the Philippines, yet many provinces of this island of Luzon are untouched. R. A. CALDWELL.
