The Gospel Need in the West Indies
By Editor
A letter from evangelist James M. Taylor, who is in charge of the Faith and Love Mission operating in the West Indies and South America, states that the Lord greatly blessed them in their visit to Barbados on the last week in March. Many hundreds were seeking the Lord night after night in their meetings. They found on the islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique that nothing was being done by any religious body except the Roman Catholics. Ignorance prevails. There were very few marriages; 90 per cent of the children were illegitimate. There is also a great deal of drunkenness; but Mr. Taylor writes truly that tho controlled by Roman Catholics these islands are a part of all the world to which God has sent His heralds, with the expectation of meeting persecutions and facing even death. He writes that he pens the letter which he sends with the prayer that it will fall into the hands of three young men who can speak French and would like to go to that needy field to carry God's Gospel, and that his mission is ready to stand back of them. He prays for help of people and means. Surely wherever God's Gospel is preached, altho it may not mean all of His truth and light, every one ought to be grateful.
