Mexico

MEXICO CITY.—We have recently rented a small hall in Mexico City, and have begun a series of meetings. We have an attendance of from twenty to thirty persons. We are giving a complete course of lectures for some who have recently accepted the truth and some who are investigating. Our place is well located, being about two blocks from the park where all the street-cars meet. The place costs forty dollars a month for rent, but we have already received about three hundred and fifty dollars for expenses, and have promise of more. We took up our first collection last Sabbath, and received twenty-three dollars. The prospect seems encouraging for good results here in the ancient city of the Montezumas.

A postmaster in the State of Puebla, who has been taking our Spanish paper for a number of years and getting subscriptions for us, writes that the Catholics are trying to oust him from his position. He has now taken forty subscriptions, and says he hopes to secure one hundred for the coming year. His enemies can find no fault with him except his interest in the gospel. He hopes to retain his place, but intends to follow his convictions whatever comes. He asks if we can not give him something to do if he loses his situation. He is convinced on most points of the truth, and says that the subscribers are also investigating. Some of us must soon visit this place and see what can be done. None of us have as yet seen the man. Our literature is preparing the field. God's Spirit accompanies it.
