“Glimpses of the Caribbean”

By Editor

THIS is the title of a beautiful little booklet just issued by the Executive Committee of the West Indian Union Conference, in the interests of the work of God in their mission field territory.

It is published at cost. The writer, Elder Geo. F. Enoch, who for several years has been laboring in that field, serving as its first union conference president, has donated the manuscript; the Review and Herald has very generously printed it at actual cost; all the proceeds being dedicated to assisting the small publishing house at Port of Spain, Trinidad. This little printing plant supplies the islands with their missionary journal, the Caribbean Watchman. This paper is accomplishing much good, although published under adverse circumstances, and better facilities for the printing-office are greatly needed.

This booklet gives a brief, yet very comprehensive, history of the work of the third angel’s message in the West Indies. It is illustrated by views of our own church buildings, of cities, islands, wharves, native homes, etc. The narrative closes with the earthquake experience at Kingston last January. The book itself closes with a brief history of the country and peoples comprehended within the territory of the West Indian Union Conference. A study of this book will enlighten as to the actual condition and needs of the West Indian field as nothing else can, written as it is by one so recently laboring there, with the interests of its teeming population upon his heart.

A discount of five per cent has been given tract societies, to simply pay postage and actual cost of handling, and it is hoped that our people here in the United States will take a lively interest not only in obtaining a copy for themselves, but in assisting also in circulating it among their friends. Price, twenty-five cents, post-paid. Order through your State tract society, or the Review and Herald, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C. MISSION BOARD.
