Grand Cayman

By Frank Hall

WE are just completing a church building at East End. It is a building twenty by thirty feet, with chancel roof. The brethren here have worked hard to accomplish this result. Faithfulness in little things is required now in the Lord's work. Good neighbors helped us willingly. The house is built substantially. Shingles, sills, plates, rafters, and boards for flooring were obtained from Mobile and Tampa. We now need windows, and lumber for seats. The bell will soon arrive.

There are two organized companies in the island,—one at Georgetown and one at East End,—with a membership of nineteen baptized Sabbath-keepers and six other candidates, besides others from Bonacca who are now living on the island. There is a thriving Sabbath-school at East End, with a membership of over eighteen.

Bodden Town is a place of about eleven hundred inhabitants. We came here last October to preach the truth, and suffered great inconveniences in presenting the principles of the third angel's message to this people, who are very friendly and kind. Several became interested, but hearing of our soon departure from the island, in February (at the call of the Jamaica Conference), they became discouraged. Thousands of pages of literature have been scattered throughout the islands of Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac.

The seed has been sown, and the time of reaping is near. The work here must be followed up. During my stay on the island, my companion has been a great help in the medical work, and our leaving will be greatly felt by all the inhabitants.
