BOCAS DEL TORO.—This morning we closed a week of prayer for our people here. It has been a precious season for all. Yesterday three went forward in baptism. We have had early morning meetings, and preaching each evening. When we began, it almost seemed as though this effort would result in failure: several were sick, and besides, we had a severe storm which lasted two or three days. But we sought the Lord earnestly for deliverance from these obstacles, and he heard us, and yesterday (Sabbath) all but two of our number were able to meet with us, and we had a beautiful day.
We begin a series of meetings for the public to-night. Although we are far away, we ask all to unite earnestly with us in seeking the blessing of God in our work here. We feel that the present is a critical time in this place, and the truth must triumph. Everything is quiet here now, and we have no reason to expect that it will be otherwise in Bocas del Toro. We were never of better courage in the work, although it has been with the hardest effort that we have been able to accomplish anything here this season, on account of the disturbances of war.
