MRS. MCQUEEN ON JAMAICA
At the last meeting of the W. F. NJ.
S., which was held with Mrs. George
Anderson, very interesting and IN
structive talk was given by Mrs. Nc
Queen, the subject being Jamaica
Island" and included the inhabitants,
their religion, customs and costumes
and educational advantages, which
are very few. Many photographs of
the island and it's people were shown.
As Mrs. Mcqueen talked about the
beauty of the island one could almost
fancy oneself under the mango trees,
or trying to fathom the depths of
Blue Hole, or even going down the
rapids on a bamboo raft. She also
spoke of the vegetables and fruits
produced, then smoke of Jamaica as
holding out great possibilities as a
mission field She touched lightly
upon the immortality Of the noun
famous sections of the island and Of
many other things not as beautiful
understood correctly, idols are still
being worshipped and little children
are literally anointed with cocoanut
oil that they may remain in favor
with the gods. Mrs. Mcqueen has
spent many months in Jamaica and
pictures it as being IN great need of
missionary work. She closed her talk
by asking the society to consider
what it might do to help Miss White,
missionary In Jamaica.
The matter viii be taken up at the
next meeting.
