BOCAS DEL TORO.—There has been the bitterest opposition to the message here in Bocas, since the meetings closed, that it has ever been my lot to experience. The Catholic priest attacked us with the most abusive language with which he could possibly find words to express himself. The next week the Anglican followed, copying the priest's words almost verbatim, with a few extras. Others have taken a hand in it, too. We have paid but little attention to them. They have done the best they knew how to defend a weak cause, quoting the “fathers,” etc. I believe that I have not seen the truth march right on through opposition more triumphantly than it has here. There has been baptism every Sabbath except one since the tent was first pitched, until twenty persons have received the rite. And more are to follow. We learn that the trouble with the opposers was that their members worried them with the Sabbath question till they were compelled to do something.
