CLARENDON MOUNTAINS.—Leaving May Pen on the fourth of April, I took my family and the tent to Chapelton, nine miles from May Pen. Satan tried to thwart our purpose in coming here to set some of his captives free, but we pitched the tent and started meetings the first week we were here. The attendance was good, and the Lord blessed the preaching of the word, even though it was a rainy season, and many times the meetings had to be deferred. Seven precious souls rejoice with us in the cause we love, and many others give evidence of obeying soon.
Two days ago (May 29) I removed the tent to a neighboring district where there is an interest. While working on the tent there, the resident rector passed by, and called on two of the new Sabbath-keepers, one of whom was formerly a member of his church. He reasoned with them to no purpose, and when they talked the truth to him, he inquired, “Where do you get these things?” They won the battle with the sword of truth.
The work is progressing steadily throughout the island. God is finishing his work; and while able men are denying the faith, and some of the “branches are being broken off,” we know that the “body” will remain till its glorification, and God helping me, I shall stand by the body, firmly believing in the spirit of prophecy till the end of all things. Pray for us and the work in these hills.
