The Church at Kingston, Jamaica
By U. Bender
THOSE who have read the appeal from Elder Strickland for help in building a church in Kingston, Jamaica, to replace the one destroyed by the earthquake, can not but feel the urgency of the case. This appeal was printed several weeks ago, and I trust that many hearts have been stirred to help the brethren and sisters of Kingston in this time of need. These calamities are terrible things, and many times cost us much to replace that which is destroyed. We should be glad for these things, not because they destroy life and property, but because they are sure signs that the setting up of our Redeemer's kingdom is near at hand. It is not long till this earth will break down completely, but now, while the mercies of God still hold it up that his work may be finished, we must maintain his work and memorials in different places, that the people may know what his standard is. The church in Kingston will do all they can. They are sorry that they must call upon you at this time. They will not build for show, but that the kingdom of God may be extended among the people of Kingston, and that the healing streams of truth may flow out to many thirsty souls. Let every one whose heart is stirred up in this matter give what he can now, for it is greatly needed. All that is sent, will be to a worthy and needy cause. It will be used to God's glory.
