British Guiana

By T. J. Kennedy

Although the enemy has to some extent been very active in trying to oppose the work of the third angel's message in this colony, we can still praise the Lord for the measure of success that has attended the labors of the workers during the past year. From the front comes the cheering news of victory in every quarter. The reports at the last session of our conference, which convened in Georgetown, Dec. 25-30, 1908, showed a marked increase in membership and finances; and the outlook for the present year seems prosperous. Several new interests have been awakened here and there throughout the field, which we hope to see develop into active working companies. The interest in the Georgetown church, which is under the care of Elder E. C. Ridgery, is increasing, and it is difficult on Sunday nights to procure enough seats to accommodate the visitors from other denominations. We are glad to welcome to the colony Dr. H. N. Greaves and family. We feel sure that his stay among us will be a real blessing to all classes in the community. A medical missionary association has been organized, with a strong membership. Our president, Elder O. E. Davis, is going to the States to attend the General Conference, and may be away for some time.
The following officers were elected for the conference year: President and treasurer, Elder O. E. Davis; secretary, T. J. Kennedy; executive committee: O. E. Davis, T. L. M. Spencer, T. J. Kennedy, H. Beck, H. J. Bowen; Sabbath-school and young people's department, Mrs. C. E. Davis; secretary tract society, Mrs. A. Sampson.
At times the battle rages sore; but we know that victory is sure. Pray for the work and workers in this hard and needy field.
T. J. KENNEDY.
