Porto Rico, West Indies

By Mrs. J. C. Brower

The weather is delightful,—fresh, exhilarating sea breezes all day long, and enough sunshine to keep everything disinfected.
Some of our goods have not yet reached us. When our organ came, it seemed to be wrecked, but we find we can use it to good advantage. Mr. Brower took the splintered boards of the organ box and made us some “mission” furniture. We have a dining table, a study table, a dresser, and similar articles, valuable now for the use we obtain from them; and we shall not dread to leave them behind in the time of trouble.
As we call upon some of the people, we find we can use a few words. This encourages us. As we see the many, many children and youth “as sheep having no shepherd,” our hearts yearn for them. What can one do to afford them permanent benefit unless they be gathered into rural schools and instructed in practical things?
Our health is good. The Lord’s blessings are daily evident.
Mrs. J. C. Brower.
