The Work in Kingston, Jamaica

Although the present church building was built soon after the great earthquake of 1907, it was not entirely free from debt until last May, when a decided effort wiped out the old debt. During the union conference meeting in May, the dedicatory service was conducted amid the rejoicing of a people who have sacrificed to see this accomplished. Elder A. J. Haysmer, the first Seventh-day Adventist minister to proclaim the message here, was with us, after some years of absence, to tell of the beginning of the work in the West Indies. Elder E. Van Deusen, who was one of the pioneers of the message in the West Indies, and who has returned to Jamaica to help finish the work, was present to rejoice with us in the success of the third angel’s message in Kingston. There are about five hundred Sabbath keepers in this city.
