Bahama Islands

By W. A. Sweany

NASSAU.—We have just secured a larger and better hall in this city, and will begin a series of meetings next Sunday night. Our hopes were not fully realized in the series of meetings we are closing in this end of town, and yet we have much to be thankful for. Several persons have fully accepted the truth, and many more are almost persuaded. We shall continue to follow up the work here. The collections have been sufficient to pay all the running expenses. Our little Sabbath-school of fifteen averages over a dollar a Sabbath for missions.
We have one case that is among the most encouraging I have ever known. A young man attended our first meeting the fifth of last December. As soon as he heard the Sabbath truth, he closed his place of business on Sabbath, and has never been absent from a Sabbath service since. His offerings have been very liberal, and recently he paid $425 back tithe. He has been active in the work of helping to spread the knowledge of the truth in a quiet, modest way, and is wielding a good influence, as he is highly respected in the community.
