Miss (’use Talks On Work
Miss Esther Case, a mission
ary to Mexico, who is on a few
weeks’ stay at her home in
Batesville, addressed the con
gregation at the Methodist
church Sunday evening.
Miss Case is personally
known by many of our people
and was given a cordial greet
ing on her visit here. Miss
Case, with a number of other
Americans, was ordered home
from Mexico several weeks by
President Wilson on acco mt of
the revolution. .Miss Case gave
a graphic description of the
-.iege of Mexico City, when she
and her co-workers slept very
little while the ancient city wa
being bombarded, and held
themselves ready to run on a
moment’s notice, for the 'hot
and -hell were falling all around
them. ‘
She told of many of the cus
toms of the Mexicans and how
hard it was to change these peo-1
pie who have been ruled by the
Catholic church for so long.
Miss Case is anxiously wait
ing for the time to come when
she can again take up her work
at the head of the Mary Keener
Institute, which has done so
much for Christianity in that
city.
