Trinidad, West Indies

By L. RASHFORD

OCTOBER 7 I made a visit to Grenada, where I was located nine months ago. Plans were laid for this visit two months earlier, but I was obliged to delay my trip, owing to an attack of malarial fever, which laid me down in bed the same day I should have started, and which was so severe that had it not been for God’s mercy and the kindness of those who cared for me during the suffering, I must have been laid away.

During my stay of fifteen days, eleven persons decided to obey the Lord, and there is fair promise of others, as some are still weighing the matter. A baptismal class has been organized. On my return trip I shall spend some time in preparing them for baptism. The meetings were well attended, and on two occasions the church was so crowded that it was very warm. But what does it matter if one suffers from heat, when souls crowd in to hear and obey the Lord? The present war is doing much to stir the hearts of some. I went over to Carriacou, an island north of Grenada. Here we have a neat chapel erected by Brother Pearl, who spent some time on the island. Some who had given up the truth promised to return, and it was good to hear their prayers.

Conditions everywhere give unmistakable evidence of a soon-coming Saviour. “Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.” L. RASHFORD.
