NASHVILLE, UNION, TENN.—Rev. H. S. Bennett, pastor, is connected with Fisk University. The church is composed almost entirely of students. A hopeful feeling manifest. GOLDING’S GROVE, GA.—“The condition of the church spiritually is pretty good. The presence of the good Spirit has been felt in our midst, and we have gathered some of the fruit. At our last communion season, which was on the last Sabbath in November, six joined with us, five by confession of faith. Three of these five were very old persons; one eighty odd years of age. The old man’s experience was full of useful lessons, and it seemed as though we could almost see the long, patient love of God toward sinners, as he sat and told of a wasted life, and, with tears in his eyes, sorrowed for his sins. There is much interest in our midst still.” SAVANNAH, GA.—“We received six new members into our church last week, two by letter and four by profession.” HAMPTON, VA.—“We are still favored with the influences of God’s Spirit in the conversion of souls. These influences, with which we were so richly blessed the last school year, did not end with the year, but in some instances bore fruit unto life during the long summer vacation, and, since the beginning of the new school year, have been manifested in turning heavenward the thoughts and steps of one and another of our pupils. Four united with the church on the first Communion Sabbath of the year, and at least as many more are expecting to make a public profession of their faith in Christ on the coming Sabbath. “Another item of interest is the increase of the missionary spirit, and we trust that the reflex influence of the one who has gone as a missionary to Africa, will be more and more richly blessed to those still in the school, quickening them to corresponding works of faith and love. Such certainly should be the result.” * * * * * THE CENTRAL SOUTH CONFERENCE.
