Work Among the Jamaican Churches
By W. H. Randle
LEAVING Kingston on the morning of the fourteenth, after a ride of thirty-six miles I reached Hart Hill. Here I was well received and kindly treated. In the evening we had meeting in the little church building. We first had a praise service. While singing, a few strangers came in, and at the close of our praise service, we had a profitable time together, studying the Word of God. My next station was Moore Park. I reached this place on the fifteenth, and remained until the morning of the seventeenth. Some of the members of this church are unable to attend service, because of illness. I visited a few of them, and am glad to report that they are still firm. Their church building greatly needs repairs. I went from Moore Park to Swift River, on the morning of the eighteenth. The members here are all of good courage. This church is indeed working for the bringing in of souls, and as the result, the Lord is blessing it. I had two evening meetings, and at each the attendance was good. Two persons gave in their names, desiring to be admitted as members. This is an evidence that the Lord is blessing the efforts of the believers here. Passing through Port Antonio, I went to John's Hall on the twentieth, where I remained until the twenty-sixth. I had meeting every evening. Brother Burke, the leader of this church, is a whole-hearted Christian, but he is greatly hindered from doing all that he would like to do, through failing health. Brethren, pray for the work in Portland, and for me, that wisdom may be given me, and that I may faithfully bear the great responsibilities laid upon me, drawing strength continually from Jesus.
