Talladega College, the last year, by its students, reached 1,200 Sunday-school scholars. In the past years they have reached, in all, 20,000. Out of these schools six Congregational churches have grown up. Rev. G. W. Andrews, the instructor in theology, has been accustomed to take his class on Saturday morning over the lesson of the next day, thus training them in a normal way as well as in the way of the truth. I had the pleasure of attending, in the month of February, the convention held in New Orleans for organizing the State Sunday-school Association for Louisiana. Florida was organized the week after, which leaves only three State associations yet to be set up. At Atlanta, the delegates from the South reported their purpose to go home and organize every State. At New Orleans it was reported that Louisiana had already 96,000 children in Sunday-schools, and this is nearly one-seventh of the entire population of the State. With an association under the vigorous administration of its president, Mr. W. R. Lyman, and his live executive committee, it is hoped that all the parishes (counties) of the State will soon be organized, and the work greatly set forward. In that convention, colored delegates were present, participating. The resolution of the Atlanta convention quoted above, upon introduction by the man who was elected president, was unanimously adopted. Upon taking the chair, he assured colored people of sympathy and co-operation. Rev. W. S. Alexander, our president and pastor in New Orleans, who was made officially prominent in the convention, was also put on as one of the vice-presidents and one of the members of the executive committee of the State association. Two colored pastors were also put upon that committee. More and more the heart of the good people of the South is turning toward the colored children. * * * * * VIRGINIA. The Work at Hampton, from a Three Months’ Observation. REV. JOHN H. DENISON “_Arbores seret, diligens Agricola, quarum adspiciet baccam ipse nunquam._” A diligent husbandman plants trees, the fruit of which he himself shall never behold. With such sentiments did our excellent Arnold support us in the arduous pursuit of Latin prose composition. It is evident, however, that there is a difference in trees, if not in diligent husbandmen.
