Jamaica, West Indies

By J. B. Beckner

KINGSTON.—During the past month the blessing of the Lord has attended our work here. Thirty-two have been baptized, and twelve or thirteen are waiting for baptism. Although Satan is trying to hedge up the way in some places, the Lord is giving victory. Our church buildings are going up slowly, as our brethren are trying to do all the work, and they have to take time to work for their food. We are very thankful to our dear brethren in America for the help sent to us. We have now received $366.60 of our call for $500. Three of the churches have been rebuilt. The last of the three was dedicated May 1. The fourth is now so the brethren can meet in it, and the fifth has the frame up. We are trying to make every dollar purchase all it possibly can. We have three other churches in process of building, besides those that were blown down. We are all of good courage. We know that if we are faithful, victory is sure. We know also that our brethren are praying for the work where they are putting their money. J. B. BECKNER.
