ISLAND OF TRINIDAD, SOUTH AMERICA.
By W. G. KNEELAND
The canvassing work is still moving forward. The remarkable success all the agents have had in taking orders, has disproved the general impression that no more books could be sold in Trinidad. Many are desirous of entering the field, but we could not accept of all, as our great distance from the publishing houses makes it very difficult to fill large orders at the time the agents would want them. Already we have had to limit the agents to a certain number of orders per month, for three months ahead, so that the books would have time to get here. Should the delivery be as successful as the taking of orders, there will be many calls for help soon after the delivery of books. There should be a small paper published in the West Indies in the interests of present truth. Those published in the States are too expensive after foreign postage is added, and often the subject matter is not well adapted to the needs of the West Indies. Local issues often demand more attention than can be given in our general papers. The workers need to be brought closer together in council, and the people instructed in regard to the progress of the work in their own field, and the demands of the many11unentered islands in our boundaries. If it is best to maintain district and conference papers in addition to our regular papers, then it is still more important that there should be a periodical published to meet the needs of this important field. I think there is little doubt that it would soon be self-supporting if it has the hearty support our new publications have always received from the brethren throughout the field.
