BOCAS DEL TORO.—This field seems ripe for aggressive work, and we have evidence that the Lord is blessing the efforts put forth. We have a growing company at Bellevue, about twelve miles from Bocas del Toro, with a house of worship, paid for. Since our last writing a St. Lucian brother has taken his stand firmly for the truth. He was a Catholic, and an exemplary young man, very studious and devoted. He is French, but speaks English fairly well, also Spanish and Greek. He is to be baptized next Sabbath. There are a number of places in this field where there are Sabbath-keepers. We wish to visit these as soon as the quarantine is lifted, and the Lord makes it possible. At Port Limon there is a small company. On Corn Island, about four hundred miles away, there are six Sabbath-keepers; there are also some at Bluefields, about the same distance, and on St. Andrews Island, where Brother S. P. Smith is conducting a school. We are anxious that by the time the message shall have penetrated to all the nooks and corners, this field shall be thoroughly evangelized. It will take a long time unless something more than ordinary takes place, which we hope and pray may. God has ways and means in reserve to operate this work which may surprise us all. I long to see it move with greater power; for this I pray, and solicit your prayers.
