West Coast, Africa

By Tutu Kwamina

FREETOWN, SIERRA LEONE.—Ethiopia is stretching forth her hands to God. Ham’s sons and daughters are gathering in crowds to hear the unadulterated truths recorded in God’s Word, and after hearing, they are accepting the same.

Our Heavenly Father has sent me just in time to assist Brother Babcock in the work in this part of his vineyard. I am glad to say that our tent-meetings are largely attended by soldiers and citizens. On the twenty-eighth of February we baptized seven converts. Three are soldiers, and one is a soldier’s wife. These are all Jamaicans. The remaining three are citizens of Freetown.

Our day-school is being held in the tent. We have on register one hundred pupils. My time is employed in teaching, preaching, and holding Bible readings in the homes of the people. On Sunday afternoons I hold religious service in the military hospital, with the sick soldiers. Knowing that the coming of the Master is at hand, I am trying to do all I can to prepare my fellow men to meet him with joy and gladness.

TUTU KWAMINA.
