Letters from South America.
A BROTHER, a native of British Guiana, writes as follows from Ulverstone:— “I have now been at Rose Hall Village for several successive Sundays, distributing papers and holding Bible-readings. There is a great call there for reading matter. As a result of the Bible readings, there are some who believe and admit that the seventh day is the Sabbath. I am encouraged to spend the most of my time there. The field is large and there is much need of laborers. I am sorry to see time wasted by some who make no effort to spread the truth; they seem to be afraid of the taunts of men; and are forgetful of the words of the Saviour: ‘The servant is not greater than his Lord.’” “I ask your prayers that God may bless my feeble efforts to spread his truth.” Another brother writing from Berbice says:— “In November and December, 1884, I received a few copies of the SIGNS from a brother in New Amsterdam. They were cast aside, however, and not much attention paid to the truths which they contained till some months later, when I met the one from whom I had received the papers. He then placed more reading matter in my hands, and after a careful examination of the subject I, determined to observe the Sabbath of the Lord. “From this small beginning there has been a company of Sabbath-keepers raised up upon the coast. The brother from whom I received the truth visits us regularly, traveling a distance of twenty miles to do so. He has organized a Tract and Missionary Society here and is truly devoted to the work. May God help him in his efforts is my prayer. I would urge that a minister be sent to help us, and we trust soon to welcome one.”
