Mr. Arthur P. Taylor.

My Dear Arthur, — The season spent in Jamaica so far has been most cheering. As they were finished we continued in Kingston until December 31st, when we started for Hatfield where there were meetings on January 1st and 2nd — very happy. Two young ones got blessing at the gospel meeting on Lord’s Day evening. Then we started to visit several ‘country’ meetings. On the Monday a reading was held at Southfield, where one confessed the Lord, and at the gospel meeting in the evening at Pedro Plain eight or ten — perhaps more — got blessing from the Lord, confessing Him. On the Tuesday we went to New Roads and had a reading at 10.30 a.m. with much interest. From there we went to ——— , where we had a preaching at 7 p.m. — good interest, but no confessions. On Wednesday we went to Negril and had a preaching with some results — one girl of 13 definite and a young woman affected but indefinite. We came here last night, motoring 50 miles from Negril. Several meetings are to be held here — Montego Bay, Cambridge, etc., and then, God willing, we return to Kingston on Saturday, remaining there until the 19th inst. when we purpose retiring via Miami.

Two car-loads of brethren, including ourselves, have come along from Kingston and we all hope to return together on Saturday. There is a good interest at Kingston — two good-sized meetings, and we look for further cheer, as we shall have two further week-ends there.

Mother and I have been fairly well, thank God, although I have had lumbago since the day we left New York — it is subsiding, however. The climate suits me, although rather hot at times.

We are glad to know of the good time at Nostrand Avenue on December 25th.

Affectionately,
Father.
