The Message Reaches Cartagena
“THERE was one sister that I greatly enjoyed seeing,” writes Brother Guy Dail, from Spain; “she is a fresh convert to the message from that oldest city in the country — Cartagena — which was settled, so I am informed, by Hasdrubal and the Carthaginians in B. C. 228, and served as a rendezvous for them in the Punic Wars. This sister is a shopkeeper in that old city. She found the truth through one of our canvassers. She was so happy to receive the message, and with a joyful heart she carried it to her friends; but they only looked at her coldly, and warned her against the heresy. However, she kept on reading and studying, and felt sure of the genuineness of the Bible truths God has given us for this time, and stepped out in the face of great persecution. Another believer was baptized from Cartagena at the meeting, so there are now two in that city. I am so glad that already we have the work started, at least, in seven of the forty-nine provinces of that land.”
