Porto Rico

By B. E. CONNERLY

MAYAGUEZ.— Although our work has been passing through a great trial, with the laborers scattered and sorely pressed, still there is a rift in the clouds, and the work never looked so encouraging as it does just now. Sister Simmons, from St. Lucia, paid us a visit last month; and while she was here, we stopped our work, sent for Sister Fischer and Brother Moulton, and we all together sought the Lord earnestly for his blessing, and gained a great victory. Brother Moulton has gone out to his work with a determination to succeed. Satan had seemed to successfully oppose our getting a meeting place for our little company here in Mayaguez; but through earnest prayer, the way has now opened up, and a place that we had long desired for a chapel is being prepared for us. We shall pay eight dollars a month, paying one hundred dollars of the amount down at first, for repairs. It seems necessary that we have a place of worship, to hold our members; otherwise, they will go to the other churches, where they are made welcome and comfortable.

Our stock of tracts which we printed nearly a year ago is almost exhausted, and we are printing another edition. There is an excellent interest in these, and we are adding to the list this time four new ones,—one on the immortality question, by Sister Fischer; “The New Birth,” by Mrs. Connerly; “The Perpetuity of the Law,” by Brother Moulton, and the “Law and the Gospel,” by myself. We sold nearly two thousand last month, and the indications are that we shall reach that number this month.
