Northeast Bight, Bonacca

It has been some time since I reported to the good old REVIEW. In the meantime I have spent six months away from the islands. I taught in Florida for five months, and found the change very beneficial to my health.
Shortly after my return to the island, I had the privilege of attending the annual camp-meeting of the Central American Conference. This was the first camp-meeting ever held on this island, and resulted in the baptism of fourteen candidates by Elder N. V. Willess, the conference president. Elder U. Bender, of the West Indian Union Conference, rendered valuable service throughout the meetings.
The school work is onward in this place. I have an enrolment of twenty pupils. I was indeed made glad to see a number of the young people of my school go forward in baptism. Although Satan is working hard to win the young people, still we are trying to keep up the young people's society, and are taking the Reading Course as outlined in the Instructor.
A minister's visits are few and far between here, as this is a difficult field to work, owing to the mode of travel, which is mainly by boats. We all welcome Elder I. Baker to this field to fill the place left vacant by the return of Elder Willess to the States.
That millions are groping in darkness, not only here but throughout the entire harvest-field, plainly reveals the fact that "the harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few." Our constant prayer should be, Lord, send more reapers into the whitened harvest.
