East Caribbean Mission

By H. C. J. WALLEKER

H. C. J. WALLEKER

As a result of our meetings held at Fredericksted, St. Croix, we have baptized five and others are interested, who we hope will fully take their stand for the truth. Brother J. J. Smith is located there, and continuing the work. He will also be able from time to time to visit Christiansted. At the latter place we are building a church. The brethren are working hard and sacrificing to get a building of their own. It will be a hard struggle, unless we receive some help, as our brethren there are all very poor. A man works all day in the field for twenty-four cents, and living is very high, so the people can not have much to give. They are doing their best though, and God is blessing them.

Here at St. Thomas we have twenty-one preparing for baptism, and we hope that they may prove faithful.

At Antigua Elder J. H. Matthews has recently baptized eight, and others are interested. There are many places in that island where people are anxious to hear the truth, and a good work is being done.

Brother Philip Giddings, who for some time has been laboring in Guadeloupe, reports that some there have begun to obey all the commandments of God. It is a hard field, as the people are all Catholics or atheists, but the Lord has some honest souls there also. Many of them are willing to stop their work or business at any time of the day to listen to what the Bible says.

Many of the other islands in this field are calling for us to come to them with the truth, and we are trying to push out as fast as we can. The Lord is blessing us, and we praise him for the manifestations of his saving grace.
