The Work Goes Forward in Mexico

By Editor

WE know that the serious news from Mexico will lead many of our brethren to feel anxious concerning our missionaries in that country. The General Conference has received no word direct from Mexico City, where our headquarters is located. Doubtless private telegrams are not accepted. It is considered probable that most of our workers were in Mexico City when the recent crisis came, our workers there having felt all along the necessity of being watchful and of taking every precaution, though loath to leave the field. Whether they are leaving with other foreigners at the present time, or feel it safe to remain, we shall learn in due time. We are sure the prayers of our brethren will ascend in their behalf especially, and in behalf of all involved in the calamities that come with war. In a letter just received by the Mission Board, Prof. G. W. Caviness wrote: "The work is onward in many respects. More literature is being scattered, more people are accepting the truth, and every one here is full of courage. What has not been done in peaceful times will have to be done in troublous times. The message must go forward. We still believe that He whose message we carry will arrange matters so that the work will go on with mighty power until the honest hearted in this land have heard the call."
