West Indies

By W. Durant Forde

ST. LUCIA.—Baptismal services took place here at Castries and Choiseul the first and second of April. Elder L. E. Wellman arrived from Barbados on the morning of March 31, the two of us leaving the same day in the afternoon for Choiseul. The company here assembled, and a meeting was held in the evening. Next morning four were buried with their Lord in baptism.
After baptism we walked about five miles to meet the boat returning to Castries. A special service was also held here in the evening, when Elder Wellman spoke from Matt. 28: 19, 20. Next day in the morning we all repaired to a fine sea-beach, where nine were baptized. We thank God for these, and pray that they may remain faithful, walking in the light amid the moral darkness of this place.
Seeing the necessity of a church in this city as soon as possible, it has been planned that funds be raised for the purpose. In the last report mention was made of this.
