PORT LIMON.—I have been laboring here since August of last year, with the object of raising up a strong church and erecting a place of worship on the land donated for church purposes by one of our sisters. The Lord has greatly blessed the efforts put forth in the teaching of his word in a little room that the conference hired for the purpose. Assisted by Brother E. N. Rogers, we held a series of meetings night after night, till the month of December, when we had the joy and privilege of burying fifteen dear souls with their Lord in baptism. We baptized six others on October 24, and there are some who may take part in our next baptismal service.

The church being strengthened by additional souls, we then turned our attention to the other side of the problem—the erection of a church building. We started our building on the twenty-ninth day of June, and on the twenty-ninth of September, a ceiled house, thirty

by forty feet, with seats and a porch eight by eight feet, running up some fifty feet, was completed.

The total cost of the building is $4,472.20 (Costa Rican). On this amount we have paid $3,504.90. We laid plans, and the brethren and sisters came together to ask the Lord to bless them, and to give us the means with which to erect a building to his name. We can say that our prayers have been answered.

I am glad to say that the house was opened on the twenty-fourth day of last October. Great joy has come to the hearts of the brethren as they saw the hundreds of people who came to the opening services, and who had a chance to listen to the Word of God. The sermon was preached by the president of our conference, who, along with Brother J. B. Stuyvesant from San Jose, is still here helping in the spiritual uplift of the people. Pray for us that we may have more success.
