British Guiana

By O. E. Davis

GEORGETOWN.—Silence does not mean idleness; and though a long time has elapsed since I sent in any report from this field, it is no evidence that the work is not progressing; in fact, as another year has closed, and we pause to review the results of the work done during that time, we can see advancement.

Shortly after my return from the General Conference I took a trip through the southern part of our conference, and found things in a good condition generally, and progress was noticed in many places. One new church building and one new mission house have been completed during the year, and quite a number have been baptized and added to the churches.

Satan has made some sharp attacks on our work in this part of the field, but through it all we can say, Praise be to Him who gave the victory!

At the Windsor Forest Mission twenty-five acres of land has been purchased for agricultural purposes, to support the mission school. Also our first registered burial-ground was placed on record at this place. A mission house has been erected, and the school is about to open, which makes us five schools now in operation.

The workers throughout the field have enjoyed a fair degree of success in their work, and all are of good courage to press the work forward to their utmost as we enter the new year.

The prospects for progress during the present year are very encouraging, even though we do hear the dragon voice around us. We know that soon, if faithful, we shall hear another voice, even that of our blessed Saviour calling us to enter the eternal kingdom of our God.
