The Panama Mission Field
By I. G. Knight
WITH grateful hearts we acknowledge the prospering hand of God in this field. There has been a steady, healthful growth throughout the field. We have increased our force of workers, so that at times we have had six paid laborers; and with their combined efforts we have, as a result, the addition of seventy to our number, fifty-seven having been baptized. This increases our constituency to one hundred and fifty-three. Toward the latter part of the year my wife and I were obliged to withdraw from the work for a short time, on account of failing health. Still there were others on the way — Brother and Sister Peckover, from the Kansas Conference; Brother Stuyvesant and family came to the field in October, and are now in the15school and general missionary work on St. Andrews Island. There has been a gain in all lines. Two chapels have been erected and paid for, and a third one is being built. A tent has just been secured for the field work. The total amount raised in the field during 1904 from various sources showed a gain of $859.78 over that raised in 1903.
