ST. KITT'S, WEST INDIES.

From Mission Board Correspondence.
I RECENTLY went over to Antigua for two days. In returning, I took deck passage on one of the Quebec line boats. I sat down to read “The Story of Daniel the Prophet,” but had hardly begun when the chief engineer came by, and stopping, asked me about the book. I gave him the title, and he became interested, and began asking questions about the prophecies. As we were going over the points in Daniel, others of the officers and passengers joined us. Seeing this, the chief engineer invited me to come down to his room with those who were interested. Not one remained behind, and when we had settled ourselves, I took them through many of the prophecies and other points of Scripture truth, they asking questions meanwhile. Our voyage lasted five and one-half hours, and almost this entire time was spent in the conversation. Of course all were not really interested, but one or two of the number followed me through the entire study, and were anxious to learn more. I promised them some reading-matter for their return voyage. I am sure God has among them some faithful ones.
Our work in Basse Terre is now doing nicely. Our Sabbath-school has doubled, and also our Sunday evening service. The members of the church are doing missionary work among the people.
