Hayti

By Henri Williams

CAPE HAYTIEN.—This island is only eight days from New York, so but little money and time need be consumed in reaching it. The state religion is Catholic. This statement alone presents the needs of the people. Protestant churches are established in the principal cities, but progress is very slow among the people, who have been ninety-nine years under papal teachers.

A Spanish woman, who never saw nor read the Bible until I loaned one to her a short time ago, after a few readings accepted the truth. Later she went to St. Kitts, where she was baptized and united with the church. She was a professor of the Roman Catholic faith. This is evidence that the grace of God will save sinners in this island as well as elsewhere.

I have tried to tell in few words the needs of this field; and the need of the field is surely the call of the hour in this part of the vineyard as well as elsewhere. — HENRI WILLIAMS.
