GUADALAJARA.—The work is progressing in the sanitarium. Our patronage is good, considering the effort that has been made against us. Catholic papers and handbills have been published, forbidding the people to go to the sanitarium for treatment. These have been distributed by boys. This has affected the patronage in the ladies’ bath rooms, but the Lord has sent us a goodly number of house patients; so we are prospering. The last two weeks have been the best in the history of the sanitarium for the gentlemen’s bath rooms.

Our meeting last Sabbath evening was pronounced by all present the best that has ever been held in the sanitarium. The Lord came in, and gave us a good refreshing. The thrusts of the enemy from without have caused our helpers to be of better courage, and to seek a spirit of devotion and unity. We are of good courage, having confidence that the Lord will care for his work.
