British Guiana

By W. G. Kneeland

POMEROON RIVER.—About fourteen years ago one man living in this district was brought to a knowledge of the truth through reading The Signs of the Times. Four years ago one of our canvassers entered this field, and was successful in selling our literature, and also in impressing some with the importance of obedience to the truths contained in the books. Last month these believers had their first opportunity of hearing a Seventh-day Adventist minister, and of becoming connected with the general organization.

After careful examination respecting their knowledge of the principles of our faith, nine adults were accepted for baptism, making a company of eleven baptized believers. As many more presented their names for the same ordinance, but owing to their lack of experience they were advised to wait until my next visit.

Land was donated for a church building, and twenty-one dollars was raised for this purpose, besides some pledges of money and labor.

We believe that if careful work is done, a good company can be raised up in this district. Other calls from unentered parts of our colony emphasize the fact that the “harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few.”
