Trinidad, West Indies

By Wm. F. Cozier

GWAICO.—As a result of my canvassing and holding Bible studies among the people here, three persons accepted the message and began the observance of the Sabbath. These were soon baptized, and the work has grown, until we now have an organized Sabbath-school of four families, with eleven members, who are making strenuous efforts to bring others to a knowledge of the truth. A great interest has been awakened here, and others are deciding to take their stand.
About eight miles from here, in Caijual, a district of Manzanilla, is another Sabbath-school, with an enrolment of seven. Two of the members have already been baptized, and others are awaiting the rite.
As I go in and out among the people with the books bearing the message for these last days, I am led most forcibly to see the importance of living the principles of the message. An overseer, who is much interested in us, and who has bought many of our books, offered me strong drink four times. Upon my last refusal, he himself ceased to drink, and now he is strongly advocating total abstinence. Others, through my advice, have rid themselves of their pipes and tobacco, never to use them again. The Holy Spirit is awakening souls to see their need of something higher, and while the Lord is thus working, I am striving to co-operate with him in bringing the truth before them. My prayer is that we may all be faithful in speeding the message to its glorious triumph, and be gathered into our everlasting home.
