that we have learned anything about <strong>the</strong> Bible." The<br />

small group <strong>of</strong> bro<strong>the</strong>rs on <strong>the</strong> French side <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

island continue to work away, and with <strong>the</strong> help <strong>of</strong><br />

Already a new peak <strong>of</strong> twelve publishers has been<br />

reached.<br />

ST. EUSTATIUS<br />

Good <strong>service</strong> has been rendered <strong>the</strong> good·will persons<br />

on this island by <strong>the</strong> regular visits <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> circuit servant.<br />

There is much interest among <strong>the</strong> one thousand inhab·<br />

itants and many have subscribed to <strong>the</strong> Society's journals.<br />

One <strong>for</strong>mer Seventh·day Adventist has accepted<br />

<strong>the</strong> truth and has been started <strong>of</strong>f in <strong>the</strong> work by <strong>the</strong><br />

circuit servant. He has been turning in a <strong>report</strong> <strong>for</strong> a<br />
