Safety of Workers in Troublous Times

By Editor

WE have much reason for gratitude to the Father of all mercies that in the troublous times existing in several of the countries of the world our workers have been kept securely. In places serious inconvenience has been suffered, but the Lord has mercifully preserved the lives of those who are endeavoring to hold up the standard of truth. Of conditions in Mexico, Brother E. W. Thurber writes from San Luis Potosi, under date of September 1: “All is quiet here in San Luis Potosi, and the Americans are not leaving the country. Except that traveling through the country places is unsafe, on account of small roving companies of bandits, one would hardly know there was any trouble in the country. We are getting acquainted with the language and with the people, and hope soon to be able to work actively with this needy people. They have little confidence in the leaders of the Catholic Church, but think the church will save them, and dare not totally neglect it. The fact that they count themselves Christians makes it harder to reach them; but the gospel of Christ works a wonderful change in their lives, and some are ready to accept it.”
