The largest Mexican population
in the world outside Mexico City
lives in Los Angeles. Their num-
ber now is half a million. It is
evident that in our endeavors to
evangelize Latin Americans much ;
of our effort should be «mm»
trated here.
Fifteen years ago beginnings
were' made in that direction. A
lot and building were purchased.
A number of circumstances, not
the least among them being a
high degree of transiency, have
made progress very alow.
Of late months, however, a dis-
tinct advancement has _X>een
made. A great deal of the credit
for this growth should be given

By LEONARD MULLENS
The British authorities on Ber-
muda have turned down our re-
quest to establish a permanent
congregation there, giving as
their only reason on the state-
ment that they feel they have
enough churches already to serve
the intermt of the general public.
Of course, we do not intend to
accept this as final. If you have
any suggestions that would help
us in forwarding this matter, we
should be glad to have them.
