A Week's Work in Jamaica
By J. B. Beckner
THE evenings of August 8 and 9 found us with the tent at Crosse, where Brethren Hall and Durrant were just creating an interest in the message. We were glad to meet with the Bird's Hill company during the day of the ninth. The next day we held quarterly meeting at Waterlane. If this little company stands faithful, others will yet be added to their number. The two days following were spent with the Portland company. Five of our sisters from this company were fined 9s. 6d. each, for carrying stones on Sunday to the place where they were building a church. The judge threatened them with much severer fines if they are brought before him again for a similar offense. Thursday and Friday we had some precious meetings with the Grove Town church. The Lord came very near in the ordinance meeting. The following Sabbath was profitably spent with the Font Hill brethren. A few of this company do not sense the time that is now upon us, and are reaching out after the world. Sunday and Monday the Lord blessed in the quarterly meeting at Trinity Ville. All were of good courage.
