JAMAICA

By FRANK HALL

GROVE TOWN is situated on the southern end of the parish of Manchester, about five miles from the seacoast. Here, September 5, a series of tent-meetings was begun. Brother Jay W. Tanner, recently from the United States of America, assisted in the meetings. At first we had large crowds to hear the message; but when the peculiar phases of our doctrines were presented, the number gradually diminished.
Twenty persons have recently accepted the truth. Ten others were keeping the Sabbath before we came, so there are now thirty persons here who observe the Sabbath. As the people had been taught to expect a place of worship, in order to give permanency to our work we had to begin the building of a church. One of our brethren has given a lot on which to build our chapel, and another has given ninety feet of hewn stones for the foundation; and a man who is not of our faith has given a part of the lumber.
The brethren and sisters are working faithfully. I am glad that wherever the Third Angel's Message goes, there are true-hearted ones who will accept its teachings, and prepare for a home in the city of God. FRANK HALL.
