A Call From Porto Rico
By N. Z. T.
ON his return from the West Indian Union Conference meeting, held in Jamaica in January, Prof. H. R. Salisbury reported that there are about one hundred Sabbath-keepers in Porto Rico, and that these have been brought to the truth almost wholly through the efforts of the canvassers. At the beginning of last year, Brethren Raff and Cochran were sent to that island from the Southeastern Union Conference. After spending a short time in the study of the language, they began work, and have been self-supporting almost from the start. In a recent letter, Brother William Steele says:— “Brother Raff has done very well. He will have taken orders for and delivered over two hundred dollars’ worth of books during December and January. He has delivered almost one hundred per cent of his orders. He is also improving in his Spanish. Brother Cochran is working with the paper. At our union meeting it was voted to ask for one more canvasser for Porto Rico. I hope that you will be able to find the right man at once. As the canvassers can easily make their work self-supporting, after two or three months’ study, and as we have three large countries unentered as yet by our canvassers, Venezuela, Colombia, and Nicaragua, the brethren thought it well to have some one in training for these fields. I hope you can find, at once, a young man of the same kind as the two you sent us last year.” Where is the young man who is willing to respond to this call from Porto Rico? N. Z. T.
