Danish West Indies

By H. C. J. WALLERKEE

ST. THOMAS.—The work in these islands is onward. Since my last report to the REVIEW, I have baptized three, and a number of others are waiting to go forward in that ordinance. At St. John there are also a few who have lately taken their stand on God's side. We thank God for these evidences of his saving power. I am making regular trips to St. John every two weeks in my motorboat. It is a great advantage to us to be able to control our own transportation.

The school building is now ready, and we expect our teacher here in a few weeks. While the building is up, and ready to be used, we still need about the three hundred dollars to finish paying for material. Besides this we greatly need an organ in the church. The people have strong voices, and with no instrument to lead them, the singing is naturally poor. I wish some of our brethren might feel a burden to help us in this particular. The message is onward, and souls are accepting the truth, but the cause is greatly crippled by the lack of means. People here are so poor that they can do practically nothing. Some of our brethren in the States have already helped, and we thank them for the assistance rendered; but, brethren, with your prayers and with your means, remember us who are out in trying fields and climates.

We have all been down with the fever—the children first, and then my wife and myself. We feel very thankful that we were not all taken down at the same time. We are still weak from the effects of the disease, but are slowly gaining, and hope soon to be strong again. We are of good courage, and aim to push forward the battle.
