Our Work in Dominica, West Indies
THE Voice of Dominica for March 4, contained the following:— "Last Monday evening, at eight o'clock, a select audience, comprising Roman Catholics, Wesleyans, Anglicans, members of the International Apostolic Church, and of the Seventh-day Adventist gospelry, gathered at the Seventh-day Adventist gospelry, in Queen Street, to take formal leave of Elder Philip Giddings, who leaves here today for a new field of labor, to wit, Guadeloupe." The editor of this paper the week following bears this testimony to the work of Elder Giddings:— "Elder Philip Giddings, pastor of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, left here with his family on Wednesday last for Pointe-a-Pitre, Guadeloupe, where he has been appointed to labor. Elder Giddings during his nine years' sojourn here had made many friends, and, though many did not agree with him on the Sabbath question, he was regarded by all who knew him as a gentleman and a man of God. Elder Giddings and Mrs. Giddings (who, by the way, did some good work here as an optometrist) carry with them the best wishes of the community for a successful career in their new sphere of labor. Elder Giddings founded the Seventh-day church in this island, and the neat little chapel at Newtown stands as a monument of his good work here."
