GUADALAJARA.—We are having many rich experiences. The Lord is surely with us. I never have witnessed more marked cases of recovery. Nearly every day we see the Lord working in a special manner. I am sure, as a result of the mission work, that there are several families to whom I can go and talk Bible truths, and command the same interest as in our own land.

The medical work is growing. During the month of September the mission received about thirty-three dollars; during the present month we have received two hundred and ten dollars. Some days we treat as many as thirty-five persons. The department for the better class is being well patronized. Yesterday thirteen treatments were given for which we received from twenty-five cents to one dollar each. At present four native missionaries are under treatment. To-day one of these, a young man, remarked, after reading the commandments, which are hanging on the wall, “I wish to do what is right, and I mean to study in regard to the Sabbath.” This remark was made without any suggestion on our part.
