SAN FERNANDO.—We had a meeting with the church at Couva the first Sabbath and Sunday in July. This is the oldest church of our people in the island, having been organized by Elder Webster in 1895. Here we have a comfortable church building containing a cement baptistery. On this occasion baptism was administered to eight individuals. Six of these were from Princes' Town, and had accepted the truth during the tent effort; the other two were from San Fernando. The brethren in Couva were anxious to have their church school reopened. Several persons here have had considerable experience as schoolteachers, but we do not want to have a school until we can have some instruction in church-school methods of teaching. We are planning to have a meeting of our canvassers, and hope then to have some instruction in this work also, and if possible find a native teacher for the Couva school.

We are all in good health, and enjoying our work.
