BELIZE, BRITISH HONDURAS.—We are finding some interested ones here in Belize. A week ago I baptized three. One of these was a young woman recently married to one of our brethren. She has for a long time desired to keep the Sabbath. The Sabbath before she was married, her mother compelled her to do an ironing, and the day before her wedding she beat the girl. This sister seems very happy in the new-found liberty, and is very faithful in her new home and religion.
Another was a man fifty years old, who many years ago began to observe the Sabbath, but did not give up the use of tobacco and rum. Lately he has been very sick. When he saw that death was near, he sought the Lord earnestly, not for health, but for salvation. The Lord heard him, and gave him a clear evidence of his presence and love. He then gave all his little belongings to the church, and began to get well, to the surprise of every one. Since then his life has testified that his conversion was from the heart.
Brother Allen seems to be working hard, and making progress. Brother Peebles writes that the printing work is going ahead, but slowly. This is a work that needs much wisdom, and we pray every day that God will direct in it.
At Puerto Cortes Brother Hamilton has built a little church. They are waiting for dedication till I can come.
