Bonacca, Bay Islands

By F. E. Cary

NORTHEAST BIGHT.—Our church-school in this place is still progressing. We have twenty-two in attendance in grades one to seven. The mail service is quite irregular here on account of the turbulent condition of the country. We have received as many as eight numbers of the REVIEW at one time, after waiting a long time without any. It has been over a year since the living preacher has visited us, yet we are of good courage, and are keeping up our Sabbath-school and church services. We have felt many light earthquake shocks in the last year; these serve to warn us of the impending doom pronounced on this earth and its inhabitants.

The message has gone quite thoroughly in the Bay Islands, and five churches are the result. The fact that this is the only church-school, shows the dearth of teachers. Each church needs a church-school; but where are the teachers? Several consecrated self-supporting workers are needed here to canvass for our periodicals and books, and keep up the church-school work. “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest.”
