Central America

By H. C. Goodrich

BELIZE, BRITISH HONDURAS.— One week ago last Sabbath we had baptism, when eight joined the church by baptism, and three by letter, which gives us a membership of twenty-six. Since then, two others have signified their intention of keeping the Sabbath—one a Spanish woman, the other the leading member, a deacon, in the Baptist church. Others are asking for Bible readings. Some of the members of this church are becoming interested in missionary work, and are visiting the people, reading and praying with them, and giving them reading-matter.

We have been saving, little by little, toward building a church. Last week we found a place for sale. We paid nearly half the price, and can have five years in which to pay the remainder. We hope to collect sufficient money to build a meeting-house on this place.
