Panama

By Carrie Knight

BOCAS DEL TORO.—Brother and Sister Stuyvesant, of Lamar, Mo., joined us about the fourth of October. Mr. Knight left here with them November 1, for San Andres Island, where they intend taking up the school work.
The work in this part is progressing, and, although we have had some trouble, caused by a false brother in Costa Rica, yet our courage is good. We are doing our best, and the work being the Lord's, we are confident that he will make all things come out after the counsel of his will. We know that we are being hewn and polished and refined in a way, perhaps, that would have taken years to accomplish in our home land.
We can only go slowly, as this people have to be taught and retaught the message, ere they accept it. This is due, I think, to the long years of ignorance and slavery under which they have been held. It is difficult even to get some of them to read the Bible; although there is no people who profess to believe the Bible as do this people.
Brethren, pray for us. We long for the day when we shall all be gathered home, bringing our sheaves with us.
CARRIE KNIGHT.
