The session of the Jamaica Baptist Union commenced on 29th of February, and continued to the 7th March inclusive; during which, in addition to the meetings for business, several large congregations assembled for preaching and general purposes, the last being a crowded assembly, to bid farewell to the Deputation. For the last few days of the session, I was deprived of the assistance of my friend and colleague, Mr. Brown, owing to an attack of fever. With this only drawback, the meetings, whether private or public, were of a most agreeable and interesting kind; and I have to acknowledge, with the warmest gratitude, the cordial reception given to every suggestion made by the Deputation, and the frank and unreserved communications made on every topic which came before us.
I shall not attempt to give in detail, nor even an outline of the discussions which lasted over eight days, but will present to my readers, in a succinct form, the general results of the investigations in which the Deputation had been engaged, and the views they were led to lay before the pastors and delegates of the Union, and, subsequently, before the Committee of the Baptist Missionary Society at home.
From the labours of the missionaries sent to Jamaica by the Baptist Missionary Society, there have sprung seventy-seven churches, spread in varying proportions over every parish in the island, the eastern parishes, and two or three in the south, having the fewest number.
