West Indies

By W. A. Sweany

GRENADA.— We are greatly encouraged by the manifest and wonderful work of the Holy Spirit on the hearts of the believers here. The company continues to grow in grace, knowledge, wisdom, and numbers. We have a very interesting Sabbath-school of fifty members, with officers and teachers from their own number, as we do not wish them to become dependent on us, for we can not always stay here. Our Young People’s Society of about twenty-five members meets every Sabbath afternoon. We are reading “Great Controversy,” a chapter at each meeting, in addition to taking up various other interesting exercises. At roll-call each one responds with a text. We have a good missionary meeting every Wednesday evening, alternating between home and foreign missions. The Sabbath-school, young people’s, and missionary donations are all remarkably good and steady, considering the poverty of the people and the hard times. We also take a collection Sunday evenings, at the preaching service, for local running expenses. This makes four collections each week.
