Dedication at Grove Town, Jamaica
By W. Jay Tanner
THROUGH the blessing and favor of the Lord we were able, on February 7, to add another church to those already dedicated in Jamaica. This time it was at Grove Town. At the dedicatory service there were present, besides Elder J. B. Beckner and the writer, a goodly number of brethren and sisters from neighboring companies, and a large number not of our faith. The new church presented a very neat appearance. It is considered marvelous by many that it was built so quickly—three years. It usually takes ten or twelve years to build a church here. We are also glad to report that it was dedicated without a farthing of debt upon it. In fact, in this conference we are following the plan of presenting no church to the Lord until it is payed for. While at Grove Town we also organized the company into a church of thirty-eight members. Besides these five others are awaiting baptism. Although times are extremely hard in Jamaica, owing to the recent hurricane, we feel we have many things to praise God for, and we do praise him.
