The present year, just closing,
1861, has brought too many new
workers to be enumerated and its
new equipments are in plain sight
and sound. Like our earlier equip
ments, they are given supreme value
by their association with the thot
of the friends who provide them.
One other important event should
be recorded as a part Of the history
OF these years. In the early years,
our patriarchs, Fee and Rogers, were
partly supported as workers for the
American Missionary Association.
Another missionary Of this Associa-
ton sent TO Jamaica was the Rev.
Heman Hall. n graduate of Oberlin.
