Grand Cayman, West Indies
By F. Hall
We can look with gratitude to our dear Heavenly Father for the success that has attended the third angel's message among the Caymans during the year 1906. Georgetown, East End, and North Side have heard the message, and as a result, thirty-six persons, including five or six children, have embraced the truth. The following places are still waiting for the message: Boddentown,—next to Georgetown, the capital, in importance,—Prospect, West Bay, and Newlands. The fields are white, therefore a good harvest of souls is anticipated. I need a good, consecrated young man to labor with me, as the work can not be successfully carried on by one man. The people here do not like to worship in private houses; hence, a tent would be a great blessing. I hope some Seventh-day Adventist merchant or farmer will help the Cayman people with this. Your work of love would never be forgotten, and a rich ingathering of souls would be your reward. The man at the front of the army feels the point of the bayonet. North Side and East End are calling for teachers. We expect some help from the West Indian Union Conference in this direction. Our thermic treatments (the little that we know being put into practise) have proved very successful with these sick people. Finding this a successful way of reaching the people, Mrs. Hall began giving treatments. Being a hospital nurse, the confidence of the people was gained, and she has had plenty to do since beginning the work, all having been treated with more or less success. She has treated some difficult cases. A man at the North Side who had been sick for over thirty years from congestion of the brain has been made better by simple water treatments and prayer. He had been to nine physicians, and the last one sent him home, incurable. To-day he is a wonder to the neighborhood. The medical missionary work, as the Lord has said, is an entering wedge for the third angel's message to the homes of the people. Homes that were barred against us when we first came are opening now. The very first woman that turned against the truth sent for me to treat the inflamed eyes of her blind husband, and this has been a success. Praise the Lord for such a victory! Mrs. Hall can not even get her sleep, on account of the many calls. A physician is greatly needed in this little field.
