—A Christmas concert was observed by the Sunday-school of the First Congregational Church of Atlanta, Georgia. It followed Dr. Vincent’s programme, which, with variations, was rendered with great success. The singing was excellent. The recitations and the responsive readings of Scripture were impressive. The recitations on the platform, of prose or poetry, a score or more, did not have a failure or a prompting. Every piece during the whole evening was about Christmas. The good reading and elocution were apparent as the result of the good training in the Storrs School, whose teachers are also instructors in the Sunday-school. Pastor C. W. Hawley seemed in his element as the leader of this service. Sup’t Roy made a talk at the close. The school numbers two hundred and twenty-five. It would greatly gladden the hearts of the friends of our work if they could only look in upon this and the many other such schools in the South. Atlanta has a monthly Sunday-school Teachers’ Institute. Pastor Hawley attends it. Atlanta’s County, Fulton, has also a Sunday-school Association, which convenes in the city quarterly. At the last meeting, as interest was warming up in favor of taking some more practical measures toward helping the colored Sunday-schools, it was found that the constitution limited the membership to such schools as were “all white.” Whereupon a _resolution_ of interest and of encouragement was adopted. At the last meeting of the State S. S. Association, held in Macon, a colored school in Savannah applied for membership. The matter was quieted for the time, but it is said that it will come up again. Upon the recommendation of Gov. Colquitt it is proposed to adopt the Brooklyn idea of a Children’s Day once a year; this not only for the City but for the State. In Atlanta there are fourteen colored Sunday-schools. —At an entertainment at the Atlanta University, during the holidays, the Field Superintendent gave one of his addresses upon the map of the United States.
