British Guiana

By D. C. Babcock

GEORGETOWN.— The Lord is blessing the work in the colony. Since I last wrote to you, I have baptized nine precious souls, and others are awaiting baptism. I have been holding some special meetings in the Georgetown church, and they are well attended. Last night the church was full, and we can begin to see results already. Four new ones have presented themselves to the church, and our own people are reviving.

Elder Haysmer arrived here from Trinidad about the middle of March, and remained four weeks. We visited most of the companies during his stay.

Our quarterly meeting last Sabbath was a good one. In the morning service the house was full, and fifty participated in the afternoon ordinance service.

To-morrow I go to Essequibo, where nine are awaiting baptism. Next week I will visit Bootooba, and then return home to arrange for the conference, which will be held in Barbados, instead of Demerara as arranged.

Remember us in our work, that continued grace and health may attend us. As I see so many other missionaries falling in this field, and our own health so wonderfully preserved, I can praise the Lord with renewed courage. I am glad to see the forward movement in the proper kind of preparations for the message at Washington, D. C. May the will of the Lord be carried out.
