Trinidad, West Indies

By A. N. Durrant

SAN FERNANDO.—In my last communication to the REVIEW I made mention of a tent effort that was in progress in a suburb of Port of Spain, and promised to report further. Some very unfavorable conditions worked against us, so that we have not seen all we had hoped for, yet we can praise God for what has been done. Brother P. C. Carrington and two Bible workers assisted in the work, besides some of the members from the Port of Spain church. Before the course of meetings was finished, I was quite sick, suffering from symptoms that never before troubled me. I was confined to the house for two weeks, and then the good Lord raised me up. Eight new Sabbath-keepers, and three or four backsliders reclaimed, are the results of the effort, with many others still interested.
On Sabbath, July 24, six of these were baptized and united with the Port of Spain church. The other ordinances were also celebrated by Elder J. B. Beckner and the writer. The remaining candidates (nine in all) are receiving further instruction. These were given into the care of Elder E. C. Widgery, who is now in Port of Spain.
August 10 myself and family moved to San Fernando, where I was asked to locate. We have a small church here, and a half-completed building. While here, I hope to do all I can to help the work forward; and that the efforts put forth be successful I ask for the prayers of the faithful, especially at this time when there is so much to discourage. Pray for us and the work.
