Central America

By H. C. Goodrich

BELIZE, BRITISH HONDURAS.— We organized a church of twelve members here in Belize last Sunday. I believe they are an earnest, true-hearted class. Three more wish to be baptized, and I hope to baptize these next Sabbath. The openings for work are so many. There are three places up Old River where the people are asking to hear the Word. In one of these places, three are keeping the Sabbath, from reading. In another, I have just heard that one more has begun to keep the Sabbath. In Ruatan there are several good openings such as I have never seen before. All Spanish Honduras is open. If I were well and strong, I could not begin to do the work. And as it is, I can see that the work will suffer, unless I can have help. A minister for the field, a teacher for Utilla, and three colporteurs for the interior are much needed. These should learn Spanish. I have always felt that colporteurs would do more for Spanish Honduras than any other class of workers, for a time, and I believe Brother Allen’s work is proving it. Tegucigalpa is also a promising field for labor, and ought to be entered now.
