Jamaica Hurricane and Loma Linda Reports

By Editor

A LETTER from Elder D. E. Wellman, of Jamaica, West Indies, reports that the recent hurricane that swept that island destroyed three of our church buildings on the southwestern coast. With drought and storm, Jamaica has had a trying year; but the thousand or more believers in that field are of good courage in the Lord.
A LETTER from Elder G. A. Irwin informs us that twenty-one were baptized the closing Sabbath of the week of prayer at Loma Linda, in place of seventy-one, as reported two weeks ago. The error was in the transmission of the report by wire. The total donations for missions by the Loma Linda church amounted to $413.50, and the sum secured in the Harvest Ingathering campaign $350, making a total for the week of $763.50. This surely makes an excellent record for this center of our work in Southern California.
