CLARENDON.—Since our report in the REVIEW of April 28, we have had our baptism, May 8, when eight precious souls were baptized. These are the first to become Seventh-day Adventists in this part of the island! We expect to have another baptism soon.
The enemy of souls is hard at work. The tempest of persecution is at its height now. Many are interested, and some expect to take their stand on the Lord’s side. Among these is a young man who has given his employer four weeks’ notice to leave his employment. His parents are determined to turn the doors against him; but he is still firm in his resolutions.
In our last report we made an appeal, after stating the situation of the place and the work, to our brethren of the home field, for one hundred dollars to help this needy field establish a little memorial building. Shall we hope in vain? “Hope maketh not ashamed.” Our company is composed mostly of women, having only five men in it, and three of them are blind. So, you see, we greatly need your help. If at the time of this writing, June 5, no one has responded to this appeal, we hope that some readers of the REVIEW will now help us. Let us not be weary in giving; for Jesus says, “When ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which was our duty to do.” Luke 17:10. Let us not look in vain. Contributions may be sent through the Mission Board to the president here, Elder J. B. Beckner. We are well, and of good courage.
