Central America

By Mahlon Woods

RUATAN.— For a long time an effort has been made to build a Seventh-day Adventist church in this place. We are glad the time has come when there should be delay no longer. The work was started here by the late Elder F. J. Hutchins, in a store that he fitted up with his own hands. Since that time, which was about the year 1894, meetings have been held in private houses; but before this reaches its readers, we hope our little church will be in process of erection. Funds are being raised in all the churches for this work, and our faith is that in a few weeks this house of God will be ready for dedication. We realize that the Lord has his time, and that when his time is come, circumstances can not stay his work. This is a needy field, but as God's power is over all the earth, we look for a good work, and the gathering in of precious sheaves, even in this field.

Since Elder E. L. Cardey has taken charge of the field, he has started a paper, the Central American Herald, which we believe will be a help in establishing the work in Central America and the Bay Islands.
