Jamaica Missionary Work.
The fir-s missionary Work- on the
i-lwod wa. carnmetif-r-d by ilie Mira-
vlatis. Aft nr i4i>*iii t he Baptists began
w Irking. It is interesting to know
that the work of the Baptists was
started by a colored man who had
been *jtlav« In America. After he
was road* fro* be wen! to Jamaica
the Christian Woman’s Board of Mis-
sion commenced work in Jamaica.
This is how it was: A former mis-
sionary, Brother J. O. Beardslee, of
the American Christian Missionary
Society, had gathered some small con-
gregations of “disciples” on the island.
In consequence of our civil war and
4n empty treasury this missionary
had to be recalled. The disciples
were not all scattered, but a few held
together for eleven years. Amongst
them was a small church of about
thirty members, in Kingston, the cap
ital of the island Upon the forma-
tion of the Christian Woman’s Board
of Missions this small church in Kings-
ton made the appeal: “Come over
and help us.” Our response was send-
ing of the “fit si n issionary of the
Christian Woman’s Board of Missions,
Brother W H Williams. He labored
for a short, lime and returned to Am-
erica The small beginning then made
has grown. We now have pn the

for the erection of new chapels at
Oberlin, Manning’s Hill, Providence,

Brother G. D. Purdy.

W. H. Baqby.
Amid the bnrndens and the toils,
Amid the scrambling for the spoils,
Amid the conflicts and the strife,
How can I Jive the Christian life?
Amid the doubtings and the fears,
Amid the sorrows and the tears, .
’Mid crime and wickedness so rife, ,
How can I live the Christian life?
Amid the world’s tempestous storms,
Beset by sin in all Its forms,
Distracted by Its noise and strife,
How can I live the Ohrlsii in Hfe?
In Christ, the man of Gahl
And in His helpful mlntstn T
And shameful death on Calvary,
