—There is an Episcopal “Theological Seminary and High School” in Virginia. Several colored young men applied for education for the ministry, and were turned away, rather than allow them to receive education with white people.—_Independent._ —A General Missionary Conference will be held in London, Oct. 21st–27th. Among the topics to be discussed are the following, which bear especially upon the work of the A. M. A.: “Results of Emancipation, Social and Religious: Probable Influence on Africa,” by E. B. Underhill, LL.D.; “Discovery in Africa as bearing on the new Mission Schemes in Central Africa,” by Sir Fowell Buxton. Rev. Dr. O. H. White, Secretary of the Freedmen’s Aid Society of Great Britain, will represent the Association in the Conference. —A company for developing commerce with Africa has been organized, under the title of the American and African Commercial Company. Articles of Incorporation have been filed by Congressman Cain, and Messrs. Watts and Porter, well-known colored men. The Capital Stock is 500,000. —The French Roman Catholic Mission here [Zanzibar] has lately established a station fifteen or twenty miles from Kidudwe, in the Nguru Country, and now a party of ten Jesuit missionaries are leaving Bagamoyo to establish a mission at Ujiji. —The Methodist Mission at Boporo, Africa, east of Liberia, has met with unexpected repulses. The people wanted trade, and in their disappointment became hostile to the missionaries. They can obtain no site for a mission building. The people were forbidden to give or sell them anything, even to eat, and this interdict had to be bought off. But the missionaries do not despair. * * * * * THE FREEDMEN. * * * * * FLORENCE, ALABAMA. A Good Work Well Finished. REV. L. C. ANDERSON. I closed up my work at Florence on the first Sabbath of September. Rev. William H. Ash was present, to take charge, in good time. The Lord blessed the end more than the beginning of my labor at F. We were permitted to work in a revival, beginning about the middle of August and lasting up to September 1st. This brought out great numbers of the people, and gave opportunity to reach many. The Spirit was manifested from the beginning, in converting power. About twenty were converted, fifteen of whom joined our branch of God’s Church. So you see that we had great cause to be thankful, when, on the 1st inst., we came together at the Lord’s Table, to re-dedicate ourselves to Him who first loved us and gave Himself for us, to make to Himself a people zealous of good works. Nothing is more potent than the Spirit of God to break down opposition and remove prejudice. The outpouring from on high turned away the stream of opposition, and so melted the hearts of the people that we could say with David, “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!”
