Porto Rico

By William Steele

THIS is a land of fruits and flowers, and all that delights the eye. The people respond slowly to the Gospel. Last year we held meetings, for a short time, in Arecibo. One day a man who lives twelve miles in the country, passed the place of our meeting, and hearing us sing, entered. He at once became interested. He continued coming to the meetings, walking the entire distance from his home; accepted the Gospel, and was baptized. Not long afterward, a young man from a town at some distance, heard of a people who kept the Bible Sabbath. He attended meetings regularly for a week, and went back home, beginning to teach what he had learned, with the result that several have been converted and baptized.

We believe great possibilities are before us here. William Steele.
