Mexico

By H. A. ROBINSON

THE four brethren who left California last summer for Mexico City, to do canvassing work and learn the language, have so far shown excellent records, and much good work has been done. In January three of these went to different cities of the republic to canvass with “Heralds of the Morning” and “The Coming King.” One went to Merida, one to Puebla, and Brother J. L. Brown arrived in Tampico, January 13, much to my joy, but to my surprise. He called on me the next day, after he had been canvassing for two hours, during which time he secured twelve dollars’ worth of orders.
January 22 Elder G. W. Reaser, who is now in charge of the Mexican Mission, Brother MacCrimmon, of California, and Brother Julius Paulson, of San Luis Potosi, came here. The next day being Sabbath, they spent the time here, and the elder gave us a Bible study. We had a meeting in the morning, and one in the evening at the close of the Sabbath, at each of which we listened to inspiring words urging all to be true to the faith, and to work for the furtherance of the gospel. These brethren left Sunday evening in search of a site for a training-school, which they expect soon to establish for the preparation of workers for the Mexican field and to supply the world-wide call.
Brother Brown is still with us, and is working for the Lord. He has recently been joined by Brother Green, who was in Merida. Up to January 31, Brother Brown has taken one hundred two dollars’ worth of orders in fifty hours.
We hope the Lord will work on the hearts and minds of those who have purchased our books, persuading them to accept his last great message. Now I would ask my brethren at home, who enjoy all the church privileges, to pray for us and them, that funds may be provided and laborers raised up for this needy field. We love the truth, and you do too; so, brethren, give us of the gold and silver which you may have, and add to it that which every one is able to bestow through earnest intercession at the throne of grace, the blessing of Jehovah.         H. A. ROBINSON.
