Bermuda

By Jas. A. Morrow

HAMILTON.— Last Friday afternoon, as my wife and I were walking through the park, we met a lady to whom I had sold a copy of “Christ’s Object Lessons.” She immediately said, “I am so glad I have met you. I was just thinking of you. I want you to bring one of those books for a friend of mine.”

Last Monday I took fifteen orders for “Coming King” and “Christ’s Object Lessons.” It seemed that the Lord led me to one home. The wife was just recovering from a two weeks’ illness, and her husband gave me his order for a book, to be delivered one month later. But before I left the house, they asked me if I had an extra copy with me; they wished to buy it, so she could read it while convalescing.

Every fortnight I have been going to Somerset on Sunday, to sell books. Often I have a service in the morning before I go, or when I return. I have just looked over my Sunday sales for sixteen weeks, and find they have amounted to fifty pounds.

We are now taking three hundred of the Caribbean Watchman each month in Hamilton. Of these, Mrs. Morrow sells about one third to the people in the town, and the members of the church sell the rest. We are taking a club of twenty-five Signs, which a young brother sells on the streets and in the business houses after Sabbath.

Sixteen of the Boers left for South Africa last week. These took four copies of “Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation” with them. One is keeping the Sabbath, and said he wanted now to take these new-found truths to his family. Three are keeping the Sabbath among those who remain. Two called to see me last night, and had a long Bible study. They gave me orders for two “Bible Readings” and “Great Controversy,” in Holland.

Our hearts are in the work, and we expect to share in it until its close.
