LETTER FROM BELIZE, CENTRAL AMERICA.
By G. Wm. Richardson
To the International Tract Society:— YOUR kind and interesting letter of April 18, came to hand on the 19th of May. I would say that I have not received the package sent; it will probably come by next boat, due on Monday. However, will say that it will give me great pleasure to read and distribute any books on temperance and religious topics—which you may send me from time to time.48 Some time ago I received a few of your books through Mrs. Gateran, of San Francisco, Cal., who visited this place. My wife and I are pleased with the publications, they being full of interesting reading. They contain an amount of sound advice, by which I am endeavoring to live. In fact, I have read a good deal from Mrs. White's writings, and find them all calculated to encourage and guide a disciple on his journey through this transitory life. As a Methodist Christian, I am striving to live a life of usefulness, so that when the end shall come, I can through Christ say, “I have finished the work thou didst give me to do.” How is Eld. Gibbs? He held some Bible readings with me when he was here two years ago. I would further say, a goodly number of our people here have read, and are still willing to read, books from your publishing house. I will now close, with kindest regards, hoping by your gratuitous distribution of religious publications many may be won to the kingdom of Christ.
