Bermuda Islands.

By M. Enoch

HAMILTON.—This church was organized March 16, 1901, by Elder A. W. Bartlett, with a membership of eight. The usual officers were elected. Six of the members accepted the Sabbath within the past nine years. Since Brother Bartlett left, two others have taken their feet from God's Sabbath.

Our quarterly meeting did not take place at the regular time, because of sickness, but last Sabbath, July 27, this meeting was held. On this occasion one sister was baptized and received into the church, thus increasing our membership to nine, praise the Lord. From the shore of the ocean all went to the place of meeting, where the ordinances were celebrated, after which we had a good social meeting. This was indeed a most solemn occasion; for the sweet, refreshing Spirit of the Lord was present, and all were encouraged to press on till Jesus comes. All the members pay tithes. The Scandinavian Fund was not forgotten. This shows that this little church, though very poor, feels an interest in the cause outside of Bermuda. M. ENOCH.
