The Growing Church of Kingston, Jamaica

WE show herewith a picture of some of the people recently baptized by Elder G. A. Roberts, pastor of the Kingston (Jamaica) church. There were forty-three candidates in all. The occasion was given a special write-up in one of the city newspapers.
This was the third large baptism of the present year, making a total of ninety-six baptized. Another baptismal class of seventy-five members is now receiving instruction. The present membership of the church is about five hundred.

These candidates are thoroughly instructed in all points of our faith before baptism. A number of persons of strong influence are being reached. The revival spirit has reclaimed many back-sliders. The church has well-laid plans for uniting all the members in missionary work.
As Brother Roberts is a trained nurse, he is prepared to do medical missionary work, and to instruct the church members how to give treatments. This kind of work is doing its part in reaching the people. Brother Roberts has been in Jamaica only since the first of the present year, but he has had several interesting experiences in connection with his medical work. L. A. HANSEN.
