KINGSTON.—We are going ahead as fast as our money will allow, in rebuilding the churches. We have two of them up, and a third with frame and roofing. The hard times are now beginning to be felt here. Food is scarce and very high. Many of our people can not get work, as they are tradesmen, and it is hard for them to secure food. Our canvassing agents sell more Bibles since the storm, as many were destroyed.

The Lord is blessing Brother Tanner in his work in Kingston. A good class of people are becoming interested, and a few have united with the church. Brother Strickland is also being blessed in his work in Montego Bay. A gentleman has recently accepted the message, who will furnish all the lime and a large part of the framing timber for a church building. The lot has already been secured. Most of our people here are very willing to work. Remember us often in your prayers.
