From Bermuda.

I AM debtor both to the Greeks, and to the barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the Gospel to you that are at Rome also."

S. D. A. Church in Bermuda, Made of Cement Blocks.

This is the cry of a soul that had received the true Gospel light. At another time the same apostle says: "Whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God; or whether we be sober, it is for your cause. For the love of Christ constraineth us." It urged him forward in his labor for souls with a power that nothing could stop. This was the spirit that filled the early church, the same spirit that possessed the Waldenses, that filled Wesley's heart when he exclaimed, "The world is my parish!" Are there not readers of the SIGNS whose hearts are filled with this same spirit and who would esteem it a privilege to help in breaking the bondage of Rome? There are something more than forty million Portuguese. The larger part of these are still in the darkness of Romanism. Should not the people of Protestant America who have so long enjoyed the blessings and privileges of an open Bible feel a greater burden for these millions? Many souls from among the Portuguese settlers in Bermuda have embraced the closing Gospel message. This is an evidence that there are hearts among this people who will respond to the call of mercy. There are young men among these converts in Bermuda who feel willing to give their lives to carry the Gospel to the people of their tongues. We need help to prepare them for their work. We also need money to publish the Gospel message in a simple manner so that this people who have so long been kept in darkness and ignorance can understand and see the beauty of the Gospel.
