Jamaica

KINGSTON.—I have just returned from a trip to the west end of the island. I baptized twelve during this time. Brother Tanner baptized thirteen while he was away.

The John's Hall church is now finished, and ready for service. Two others are being worked upon. The frame of the Glen Goffe house is up. We are putting forth every effort to carry our own burdens. The Lord is truly blessing our efforts, both financially and spiritually. But we are beginning to feel the effects of the storm, and look for very close times here for the next six or eight months. Native food is scarce, and has nearly trebled in price. We are of good courage.
