Barbados

By W. A. Sweany

Our last quarterly meeting was the best we ever had in this church, with the best attendance. Six were baptized and united with the church, and about twelve others are studying the truth. The interest is deep. Of late I have realized more of God's power to save, keep, and strengthen for service than ever before.

During the week of prayer we had meetings at five in the morning and at seven in the evening, with extra meetings on Sabbath and Sunday. The Lord was in our midst, and greatly blessed us, and the entire church was refreshed, strengthened, and confirmed. The evening services were devoted to the presentation of those truths which have made us a peculiar people. The attendance was good, many not of our faith being present. The morning services were devoted to prayer, testimony, reading, etc., and the attendance was large, including many who were not members of the church, although the meetings were held at such an early hour.

I have fully recovered my health and strength, and we are all well. We are determined by God's help to accomplish more this year than in any previous one. We thank him and the dear givers for the donations which have come to this field. W. A. Sweany.
