British Guiana

By D. C. Babcock

GEORGETOWN.—There is a decided advance in the work generally. At the meeting last Sabbath two brethren were added to the Georgetown church. The Lord is blessing our efforts daily, and some are accepting the truth. While Satan is doing all he can against the work and the workers, the Lord's mighty power can be definitely seen.

Among others, an intelligent young man has fully come into the truth. I hope he will be a great help to the cause. He is well educated in the Hindustani, reading, writing, and speaking it fluently. Brother Hyder says there are very few who speak it so perfectly. He was teaching the coolie children for one of the Georgetown churches when he accepted the message. He has been a public worker for several years, although quite young.

Our tent is crowded every night; in fact, one half of the audience can not get inside. Last night fully four hundred were present. The tent stands on a corner lot, and the streets are filled with people. Several have taken their stand, and yesterday I baptized the first-fruits of our second tent effort, with two others — one from the Kitty work.

The work on the Kitty church has begun. All the frame is bought, with the shingles, and everything is paid for thus far, with one year's lease of the land. We have twelve dollars left.
