The Work in Central America

As showing how nearly every part of the world is affected by the European struggle, we print the following words from Elder Isaac Baker, president of the Central American Conference. He writes from the Bay Islands, off the Honduras coast: “We shall be glad to welcome a good colporteur and a good minister to these parts, but just now the financial question gives us difficulty. We are dependent upon the coconut trade, but now our people can scarcely get rid of the nuts at any price. If times soon resume a normal state, we can support another worker. We are not so hard up as those in Europe, and we hope to be able to live with our present force without any outside help. The work is beginning to go among the Spanish people now, some of whom were baptized at our recent camp meeting, while four have been baptized since, and still others are waiting.”
