OLD PROVIDENCE ISLAND.—The year 1912 was a prosperous one for the work in the Old Providence church, despite drought, hurricane, and floods, which destroyed plantations, fruits, and nuts. I am glad to report that our new church building, valued at $400 (gold), was dedicated free from debt on September 30. At that time Elder H. C. Goodrich was here twelve days, and held meetings almost every night with good interest. Truly God has been good to us, and we rejoice that we have this memorial of his goodness and mercy with which to hasten the work in this island.
During the year we had the pleasure of seeing thirteen precious souls baptized, and fifteen were added to the church. Four are now preparing for baptism.
Our tithe for the year amounted to $484.10. The offerings, foreign and home, amounted to $592.45.
