A Victory Gained

UNDER date of May 30, Brother Harold Robinson writes of his experience in Cienfuegos, Cuba, as follows:—

"I am still here in this city, working the residential sections. Brother Sandborn and his wife left me yesterday to go to Havana with Brother Brown, to look for a mission house. I am alone, but think I can stand it for a little while again. Last week two Cubans from the San Claudio school joined us, and are doing fairly well in the territory they have to work.

"I recently went to a small town near Cienfuegos, where I immediately began work, but found it hard on account of the race-war scare; yet I secured a few orders. I had almost decided to deliver those and come back the next day, but after thinking it over, made up my mind to remain even if I did not sell one more book. Next morning I started out and succeeded in getting several more orders, and delivered nearly $50 worth before I left, for the two days' work."

This is a good example of what can be done through faithful, persevering effort, even under the most trying and discouraging circumstances.
