Jamaica

By HUBERT FLETCHER

I AM glad to be able to report progress in the work in this corner of the vineyard. The year 1914 has been one of precious blessings. Although the storm clouds have been hanging over us, and the darkness deepens, yet we can trace the guiding hand of our kind Heavenly Father leading us on to victory. Our hearts have been stirred as never before as we see the time shortening so rapidly.

We have had a very good interest at Linstead. I have used this place as a center from which to work the surrounding territory. Our home missionary society has been doing good work. We set our goal for literature work at 100,000 pages, but we have passed the mark, having distributed 148,000, most of which was sold for cash. We have now set our goal for 1915 at 300,000 pages of tracts, and 5,000 copies of papers, among other plans for the finishing of the work. At our last missionary meeting it was voted that we should aim for at least two souls for Christ per member during the year; also that the society work for the conversion of each and all its members.

We have had many accessions to the faith, and the interest is good at present.

We have a baptismal class of twelve. Part of my time was spent in erecting a church building at Huidas Vale, where Brother Heron was laboring. It is now being used for services.

During the week of prayer I visited the churches in Northern Manchester,—Craig, Waterloo, Mahogany Grove, and Beverly,—and organized a church at Troy. At all these places we had most excellent meetings, and baptized twenty-five. We have had many calls, which, with the use of our portable tabernacle, we expect soon to answer. Remember us in your prayers.
