While you are teaching French, German
and Latin In your schools don't forget
there is some work for the Saints to do
among the Spanish-speaking people of the
world. There are about 1000 Indians In
Mexico who speak the Spanish language.
They are also In Cuba, Porto Rico and in
Spain Itself many millions of people to
whom the gospel must be delicvered.'

larly organized societies and leagues brought
into existence for the purpose OF nghting tho
elders and OF putting stumbling blocks in their
way and OF binsing the minds OF the people

a remarkable thing that the elders. in spite
OF all have been able to reach the cars OF
intelligent mon and women to the number OF
thousands who hnye been converted and OF
