Mexico

By Mrs. M. C. McCulloch

TAMPICO.—We thought perhaps those of our people who have so kindly responded to our request for reading-matter, would be interested to know what use we were making of it. We arrived here April 5, and secured a house at once. The next week being holy week, we could not do much, as all were absorbed in their devotions at the church; but we began our ship work. We have placed papers on Norwegian, English, Mexican, Cuban, and French vessels, and are watching for the arrival of some German steamers. Those receiving the papers seem thankful, and promise to read them.

We also have a rack in the American hotel, and have taken some papers to a private hospital belonging to an American physician. We distribute Spanish leaflets and tracts to the houses as we pass, and hope soon to be able to do more personal work, giving Bible readings from house to house, etc. But as we are doing self-supporting work, I am spending five hours a day in giving English lessons. This is a prosperous place. There are many wealthy people here, and money seems plenty, but living is quite expensive.

The dreadful catastrophe in California has stirred the Americans here very much, and many are inquiring, “Why are such things permitted?”
