From Dominica to Guadaloupe

By PHILIP GIDDINGS; L. P. GIDDINGS

OUR first session of the East Caribbean Conference, which has just closed, has relieved us from Dominica, to take up work in the French island of Guadaloupe.

We enjoyed our work in Dominica, and the friends we made, both in the church and outside of it, showed their kind appreciation; and the latter, among whom were merchants, clerks, the postmaster, the Catholic editor, and the judge of the supreme court, presented a small purse to us.

The judge, on bidding us good-by, asked that we keep him informed of our work; “for,” he said, “I shall always have an interest in it.”

We are at present in Barbados, spending three months’ furlough, while Mrs. Giddings improves the opportunity of taking some much-needed treatment at the Hastings Hydropathic, under the management of Dr. and Mrs. Charles Cave.

We shall continue to need the prayers of our brethren and sisters, that, as we take up our work in an untried French Catholic field, as our day, so may our strength be.

PHILIP GIDDINGS, L. P. GIDDINGS.
