Praying Band Starts a Revival

New York, 1895

The Methodists of Jamaica commenced a revival Monday night. The services are held under the auspices of the praying band, which was organized fifty years ago. The meetings will be held every night this week. The old praying band consists of Isaac B. Remsen, Thomas W. Cleary, original active members, and John Selover, John C. Acker and L. M. Wood, honorary members.


Jamaica Church Notes

The Rev. Dr. Poulson will probably be assigned by Conference to the First Place church in Brooklyn.

The next pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church in Jamaica will probably be the Rev. Harry H. Beattys, now pastor of the church in Greenport.

The Rev. Dr. Thomas L. Poulson, of the Methodist Episcopal church, will terminate five years of service with that church at the end of the present conference year.

At a meeting of the congregation of the Baptist church on Friday evening, the Rev. Charles S. Daniels was called to the pastorate. Mr. Daniels has been acting pastor of the church for several mouths.
