By GEO. M. BROWN

Mexico

We are having some encouraging experiences in our work here. Brother Bodwell spent six weeks in San Luis Potosi, and secured about one hundred subscriptions for El Mensajero. He found a small company of Protestants, who requested him to speak to them. So he held services twice a week while there, and reports that there is a good interest to hear the message. One lady told him that she kept the Sabbath, a week before he left. The minister who began to keep the Sabbath last spring is still faithful in studying the prophecies. Brother Placencia visited him last month.

We believe our paper is increasing in efficiency all the time. We are now publishing a series of articles on the prophecies. We are making an earnest effort to establish a printing plant, but will not go faster than we secure the money, as we do not want to incur debt. We are also making an effort to increase the tithe. The Lord is blessing in this move, and some who have not paid tithe for two or three years have decided to do so.

Personally I can say that the Lord has blessed me since coming to Mexico. While it seems difficult for me to master the language, still I am making some progress. I can read the Spanish Bible quite readily, and use the language sufficiently to do ordinary business.
