Barbados

By W. A. Sweeney

BRIDGETOWN N.—The recent epidemic of smallpox is slowly abating, but conditions are not improving, and cannot, since the quarantine, with its consequent suffering, will continue as long as there is a case in the island. There have been fourteen hundred cases, with over one hundred deaths.
Our work is onward, despite forbidding conditions. The interest is deeper than at any previous time. Quite a number have recently begun to obey the truth. The church is not only filled, but is surrounded on Sunday night, and a large number attend our Sabbath and midweek services. Some who have recently come to a knowledge of the truth, through cottage meetings are keeping the Sabbath. There are twelve candidates for baptism at the coming quarterly meeting. W. A. SWEANEY.
