St. Kitts

By S. A. Wellman

SANDY LANE.—The series of meetings which was begun here in January is still being continued, and many are interested in the message presented. Quite a number have expressed themselves as convinced of the truth, and some seem to see the necessity of obedience, yet people move very slowly in this place. Besides, there is scarcely an individual who is not dependent upon some one else for his daily food; so it means more to them to observe the Sabbath than to those in the States, who have had the advantage of an education, and are able to do for themselves.

Early in February we began to print some tracts. Already the orders for the first number have reached fourteen thousand copies. We expect that there will

be a call for even more than this, as we have not yet heard from all the islands. Our people have taken hold very heartily to support this work and to distribute the tracts. We are planning to scatter thousands of these little leaflets in the islands of this group. It is perhaps the only way that we can reach and warn the people on some of the smaller islands.

After the distribution of the tracts there will be calls for ministers. Nearly every mail brings appeals from islands where our tracts or books have been circulated. All these fields are ready for the harvest. The longer we delay, the more difficult the work becomes.
