The St. Philip’s Society, Sengstacke’s Band of Hope, and Sons and Daughters of Jerusalem, celebrated emancipation, Jan. 1st, in the Congregational church. Rev. Mr. Markham, of Savannah, addressed them on the results of freedom and the work of the A. M. A. A thank-offering was sent in the form of a contribution to the Association. TALLADEGA, Ala.—Nine young men, students at Talladega, after examination, were approved to preach by the Alabama Conference. MONTGOMERY, Ala.—A deep religious interest has been manifested during the last month. Some of our pupils are trusting in a newly-found Saviour. A Sabbath afternoon Bible-reading at the school-house has been blessed. MARION, Ala.—There are thirty subscribers to the New York _Witness_ among the colored people in this place—a fact which speaks well for their general intelligence. MOBILE, Ala.—“God is pouring out His Spirit on our school. Several have expressed a hope in Christ and many more are inquiring. The interest is among the older scholars. We have a daily fifteen-minute prayer-meeting just before school, and a half-hour prayer-meeting after school on Friday. Pray for us.” ANNISTON, Ala.—Sabbath-school very interesting, especially to the older people. One conversion. CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas.—The church has been revived. Six members thus far have been received on profession. FLATONIA, Fayette Co., Texas.—This young church has twenty-five members, and several are waiting an opportunity to unite. It is negotiating for a church building. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.—“The Sabbath-school is well attended. We had a concert last Sabbath evening; the house was crowded and the exercises went off quite well, after which a collection for the A. M. A. was taken.” INDIAN AGENCY, KESHENA, Wis.—From the report of the school at the Green Bay Agency we extract the following: “Our school closed on the 20th, and we are happy to report that this has been the most favorable term since the opening of the boarding-school. We have had very little sickness and very few changes, nearly all who came at the beginning of the term remaining till its close. In this respect, of steady, persevering work, we notice great improvement. It is so contrary to the habits of the Indian that we note it with pleasure. The progress, too, in studies is very satisfactory.” * * * * * GENERAL NOTES. The Freedmen.
