Mission Church in Jamaica Supports Itself by Weekly Offerings
A church correspondence notes self supporting Mission Church in Jamaica aided by weekly offerings and tracts distributed by an English donor. It cites Lord's Portion copies, a 1872 pew rent and offerings total of 768 pounds and 1873 weekly offerings of 958 pounds, with deacons praising the method. The writer, John Ross, laments postal losses, announces a move to Bedford after April 20 and two daughters remain at home.
