THE fourth annual session of the Jamaica Conference of Seventh-day Adventists was held at 32 Text Lane, Kingston, Jamaica, Dec. 31, 1905, to Jan. 4, 1906. This conference covers an area of 4,193 square miles, and has a population of about 780,000, with Grand Cayman and the Turk Islands as mission fields. The meetings were well attended by brethren, sisters, and the delegates from the different churches and companies. For some time before this conference we had been praying that the Lord’s blessing would rest upon it, and it was indeed the best meeting we have had. The Lord came very near to his people. A marked feature of the conference was the harmony, love, and unity that prevailed19throughout. All the business was attended to with dispatch. We had business sessions and preaching daily at the church. And each night at the town hall the leading features of our faith were presented to the public by Elder J. A. Strickland. The attendance ranged from five hundred to six hundred. A good, and I trust lasting, impression was made on the minds of the people through the latter meetings. More than twenty took their stand for the first time to walk in obedience to the commandments of God. One said to me, “I have been much stirred by the meetings at the town hall. I am led to take down my dusty Bible which I laid away for years, and am now studying it. I realize that I can not lightly treat eternal life. I will not let my business continue to cause me to break God’s holy Sabbath.” Praise God for the power of his word, and for his saving grace. The reports from the different parts of the field were filled with hope and courage. Progress has been made all along the line; and this conference will greatly advance the interests of the work. Quite an impetus was given to the Sabbath-school work by a Sabbath-school convention, which was held the first day of the conference. The island has been districted, according to the three counties of Cornwall, Middlesex, and Surrey, each having an ordained minister as superintendent. This will relieve the president of many long and fatiguing rides from one end of the island to the other, and will establish a more satisfactory and systematic working in the conference. At present we have five ordained ministers (two Americans and three natives) and five licentiates. We missed the help and counsel of Elder W. J. Tanner and Brother Frank Hall, the former being called by the General Conference to the island of Hayti, and the latter sent by our conference to the Cayman mission field. The following-named officers were elected for the ensuing year: President and Treasurer, J. B. Beckner; Vice-President and Assistant Treasurer, J. A. Strickland; Secretary, Norman Johnston; Sabbath-school Association Secretary, Mrs. M. A. Beckner; Executive Committee, J. B. Beckner, J. A. Strickland, Norman Johnston, W. Burkley, Brother Renolds; Editorial Contributor to Caribbean Watchman, J. A. Strickland. This was the largest gathering of our people ever held on the island; and all returned to their homes and fields of labor full of zeal and courage for the year to come.
