Panama

By C. E. PECKOVER.

CRISTOBAL, CANAL ZONE.—We are still at work here, and are enjoying better health than when I last reported, although we are not immune to the fever, which comes on quite regularly, usually about every two weeks. By taking a little quinin for a day or two, we can fight it off for a time again.

The work here is still onward, and our little church at Colon is growing in numbers, as well as in efficiency, new members being added every month. There are now about seven awaiting baptism. Some of them are ready, and others need more instruction.

We are planning to begin tent work as soon as our tent can be gotten from Costa Rica. Some parts of this field are ready for such work, and others seem hedged against it. Work with papers and books is being carried on all along the line. Also, in the city of Panama we are doing some work among the English-speaking people, with the literature, and hope we can do something soon for the Spanish-speaking people, who comprise the greater part of the population of Panama.

Our courage is good, and we are pressing on to victory, and hope soon to be privileged to dwell with the redeemed of God in the home he has prepared for those who love him. It is true our hearts turn homeward at times, but more longingly to the better home. Remember us at the throne of grace.
