    TOP H ILL CHURCH

    C Co-WorkerG"uy Whitley

    Par out in the mountains toward the south coast of our lovely Jamaica, lies a tiny village called "Top Hill." The town of Junctionnearby is a busy place with many people living all about the countryside near and even far beyond Top Hill, This section of Jamaica hasbeen blessed with many good things,.good soil, good rains, and finepeople, but one great need has been the church of the Lord Jesus Christ,

    In recent months the congregation of Memorial Chapel at the Home,has supported a minister, Bro. E.A. Woodstock, in an attempt to establish a church in this needy district. He hps worked very hard and hasalready won fourteen people to Christ. These people are anxious forthe work to grow. Last month Memorial Chapel bought a piece of landfor the people on which they plan to erect a church building.

    Won't you remember Top Hill in your prayers? There is a great needfoe the^establishment of the church in these towns throughout Jamaicaand it is the prayer and aim of the church at Memorial Chapel to carryon this work.

    Memorial Chapel now has five young people in Bible Colleges abroadand a^Sunday School averaging 150 in attendance. This active congregation in Kingston is looking eagerly to the future of Jamaica and to thegrowth of the church here.
