Mexico

By GEO. M. BROWN.

There are many things for which the friends of the message in Mexico feel to praise the Lord.

Those who are in the field with our literature are having some success and many interesting experiences. Brother Harzman began labor in Toluca, and as a result of seventy hours’ work the last of July, sold papers and books amounting to $21.72 Mexican and took thirteen yearly subscriptions for El Mensajero. Brother Bodwell has been working at San Luis Potosi, with his usual success. Brother M. V. Erkenbeck has been selling the little paper published by the young people of Guadalajara, and though he can speak but little Spanish, sells about fifty copies a day.

The sanitarium is enjoying a good patronage for this time of year, and the work at the medical mission, which has been a little slack for a time, is increasing.

People come long distances for the sake of being treated at the mission. Recently one made a four days’ journey on foot for this purpose, and was so pleased with what was done for him that he sent for his wife and daughter to come, that he might remain and continue to receive treatment.

The work has been carried on in a rented building, but we believe that the time has come for erecting a small building on ground belonging to the sanitarium, thus saving rent, and at the same time having the work where it will be more accessible.

We believe that God is moving upon people to come to Mexico; for we are receiving letters from those who desire information concerning the country and opportunities for self-supporting missionary work. To all interested we can say, There is a great work to be done here, and he whom God leads to come will make no mistake in coming.

We earnestly request our brethren and sisters to pray for God’s blessing upon the work and workers in this needy field.
