Bermuda

By JAMES A. MORROW

HAMILTON.—It is just two years since my wife and I came to this place. Twenty-three have accepted the message during this time, most of whom stand firm. Four who accepted the truth here returned to South Africa, to kindle lights in that part of the field. A recent letter from one of these informs me that he has been able to lead several to accept the message. This last month I met a few interesting cases among the wives of soldiers.

Financially the Lord has surely blessed us. I feel confident that the receipts in the field will enable us to run until the first of September without calling upon the general treasury. Last Sabbath I announced both here and at Cawl (where our new company is) that we would take up a special offering for the One Hundred Thousand Dollar Fund. Last night one of our new Sabbath-keepers, a poor man, handed me his offering. Upon examination, I found it was one pound. I feel sure that we shall be able to forward at least one dollar for each of our Sabbath-keepers in Bermuda by the next mail.

It still remains a difficult problem to obtain places in which to hold public meetings. Most of our work is from house to house. The family, so deeply interested when I last wrote, seemed to stagger when they saw the cross. These are some of the sad experiences.

There are evidences that the island is being stirred by the message. Three Methodist ministers have spoken six times upon the Sabbath question within the last three months.

We praise God for what he has wrought through us despite all our sins and failures, and we yield our hearts more fully to him. We love God and this message more than any earthly thing. We are daily looking to him for guidance. Surely our time to work is short.
