Trouble for the Moravian Mission

The Moravian Messenger gives the following item of news respecting the Moravian Mission on the Mosquito Coast in Central America: "A cloud looms over our Nicaraguan work, and the present government seems determined to squeeze our mission out of Bluefields. It has levied a rate of $53 a month on our people for town-lighting purposes, and has fined one of our missionaries $20 for not keeping the church premises in proper order. Roman Catholic priests have come to the capital, and are working hard to bring the natives to their way of thinking."
