Jamaica

By HUBERT FLETCHER

“The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.” Prov. 11:25.
It is heaven-like to give. The way to receive is to give. The blessings of heaven come through the avenue of giving. It is more blessed to give than to receive. This truth has been demonstrated among some of our conferences in the home land as they have shared their means and men with those in foreign lands. And this is the principle the Lord would have his people adopt.
Let us as conferences, churches, and individuals divide that which we have with our less favored brethren who are drifting down to death without the light and privileges of the third angel's message. “Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.”
The Jamaica Conference has shared its laborers with our Haytian brethren, Elder W. J. Tanner and his family having taken up work among them. And now we are planning for the sailing of Brother Frank Hall and his family to the Cayman Islands.
The cloud is lifted, and as a conference we want to keep moving forward with the host of Israel as they march toward the promised land. Indeed, the missionary spirit is taking hold of the people, demonstrating the fact that we are a missionary people. And what is this but an omen of the approaching end? Our conference is prospering. This is shown by the increase of the tithe.
