EVANGELIZING MEXICO.
By Rev O. C. Williamson.
Since my last letter I have made
my first itinerating trip down Into
my own territory, and attended my
first meeting of the Mexican Presby
tery. Mr. Shelby and I spent fifteen
days down in my field, traveling on
horseback through a region that for
twelve years had not had a visit from
a missionary or ordained native work
er. We had a hearty welcome from
the people, and found things very
quiet and peaceful, with no serious
show of fanaticism. Two nights we
Blept on the ground out in the heart
of the mountains, but felt perfectly
safe. Sixty-five children Were bap
tized on the trip, three members re
ceived and thirteen meetings held,
with an average attendance of over
sixty-five. We found two new school
houses just built for mission schools,
and four churches planned or being
built without a single cent of aid from
the mission.
Tlacotpec is the center of this dis
trict that had been so long without
the visit of a missionary, and Is a
nice little town of about 1,000 peo
ple, situated in the heart of the Sierra
Madres, a day and a half from the
railroad. Here we plan to hold an
institute for a week or ten days im
mediately following our annual mis
sion meeting in January, and give
these people who have been so long
without training and instruction a
real feast of good things. Several
missionaries and native workers will
be on the program, and this will con
sist of lectures and training classes
in the morning, and part of the af
ternoon, with supervised recreation
part of the time, and evangelistic
preaching by one of our best trained
young native ministers at night. We
expect to draw people from five or
six other places around Tlacotpec to
this institute.
The recent meeting of the Presby
tery of the South was held at a lit
tle village near Zitacuaro, Mr. H. L.
Ross" station. Mr. Ross says this is
the best evangelized section he knows
anything about in all Mexico, and It
was an inspiration and an encourage
ment to see the work of that part of
the field. This work came to us from
the Northern Presbyterians, and has
been ably carried on by Mr. Ross. It
is furnishing the leading number of
our boys at^d girls for San Angel and
Coyoacan. This section of Michoacan
is certainly a beautiful country.
It was a privilege to be at Presby
tery. The brethren were amusing at
times. For example, it was rather
amusing to one raised in the conser
vative old Presbytery of Mecklenburg
to see the Moderator and Stated Clerk
of Presbytery both eating candy dur
ing important business discussions. A
prominent characteristic of the Mexl-4
can ? much talk with little said ?
caused Presbytery to last from Thurs
day morning until Tuesday afternoon.
Still there was much to make our
hearts rejoice in the spirit of the
workers, and the progress of work
as shown by the reports of different
fields, and these when compared with
the reports of a year before, showed
genuine cause for thanksgiving. Two
splendidly trained young men were
licensed, and this helps to fill what
the mission agrees is the most cry
ing need of the Mexico Mission to
day ? more and better trained native
workers. You see, our mission has
hcen in this field for only a very
few years, and when we moved from
the North we left a splendidly organ
ized Presbytery, which is now self
supporting, and naturally most of our
workers stayed there. Here many of
the native workers had suffered ship
wreck of their faith during the revo
lution, and no others were in train
ing to take their places. Thus the
supply nearly failed during the years
of revolution. We have some excel
lent young fellows in training, but
we must have more schools through
out our territory to prepare these
workers for our more advanced
schools, and train young men for the
ministry and young women for teach
ers in our mission schools.
Sr. Ezekiel Fernandez, Stated Clerk
of Presbytery, and pastor at Toluca,
preached a sermon on Stewardship
in the Zitacuaro church on Saturday
night, and several of the missionaries
agree that it was the finest sermon
they ever heard on Stewardship b5
any one. At the close forty stood up,
pledging themselves to give more to
the church, and twenty-three came
down and gave in their names, pledg
ing themselves to become tithers. Sr.
Fernandez is doing some fine con
structive work in the Presbytery. He
ridicules the idea so many Mexicans
have, preachers and people both, that
the mission should do everything for
the native church. He tells them the
Mexican church is like a young man
thirty years old, strong of body and
well, but whose mother has to carry
him everywhere he goes.
On my itinerating trip I spent a
few days in our future liame of Chll
pancingo. I am very much pleased
with the place and the prospects we
have for the work there. We have a
fine young native pastor there, and
a Sunday school of eighty-five, with
preaching services drawing over one
hundred. We plan to move down in
the fall. Wle are very enthusiastic
over the plans for opening an ele
mentary high school that in a year
or two will develop into ? a boarding
