British Guiana

By D. C. Babcock

GEORGETOWN.—The work is moving forward, and we have great reason to thank our Heavenly Father. Brother Giddings has just left for the Essequibo district, where I expect to meet him in a few days. There are two other places where we are anxious to open up the work. As soon as this is accomplished, we shall begin to erect a new church building in Georgetown. We are already soliciting funds for this purpose. A very poor woman came to my house this morning. I thought that she had come to ask for help, as she has done at other times; but instead of doing this, she handed me an envelope, and said that she had brought in her donation for the church. Of course I supposed it would be a small offering; but, to my surprise, it contained ten dollars. She told me that she had promised the Lord that if he would give her what was due her from her brother, she would give that for the church.
