Jamaica

By J. A. Strickland

MONTEGO BAY.—I praise God that it was my privilege to come to Jamaica. I feel a deep burden for the work here, and have formed such an attachment for the people as I never felt for any people before.

Brethren Beckner and Linton and I began a tent effort here Sunday night. At least two hundred and fifty were present at the first meeting, and the attendance has been about the same each evening since.

One thing we need is a good tent with comfortable seats. The twenty by thirty foot tents in use are not large enough, if they were in good condition, to command the respect of the public in towns and cities.

We are planning, if possible, to visit every family in this vicinity, and by inviting them to the meetings, holding Bible readings, or introducing our literature, leave them no excuse for claiming ignorance of the blessed present truth. We desire an interest in your prayers, that the Lord may use us to his honor and glory in this place.
