Central America

By A. N. Allen

LA CEIBA, SPANISH HONDURAS.—We are struggling ahead, and God is blessing, in spite of fever.

In the past year we have received twenty-four cases of Bibles, and also have a very good stock of our books, in both Spanish and English. We have a large young saddle mule, and have money on hand for another, for pack, as soon as we can find one.

Much less has been done in the book work than I expected to do. Much more could have been done if I had had my health, but since April I have not felt really well for a whole week at a time, having fever every few days. Pneumonia also laid me by for about a week, while I was in Utilla. But, thanks to God and a German physician, it was broken without the usual run.

We are expecting Brother Goodrich here any day now, as the governor of this place gave me a written permission for him to enter.

While our numbers are small on this coast, the per cent of income is much greater here than in the islands of Belize, and I believe that if we could get a good Spanish laborer, this would become a very productive field. We are of good courage, and expect to work here as long as God continues to bless us.
