I am happy to make mention also of the work of Rev. E. E. Rogers as an Evangelist in our Church at Macon, Ga. He has proven himself a judicious and successful laborer, wise, earnest and loving. Pastor Lathrop is very emphatic in commending him. Resulting from the stimulus of this meeting, special services were projected in all the other colored churches of the city. And as a matter of fact, revival meetings in the white churches followed. Mr. Rogers had also been a worker of the A. M. A. in former years. We hope that his services in the future may be secured in this line of special movement in our churches at the South. They have come to a degree of intelligence and of steadiness that will encourage such endeavor. * * * * * SOUTH-WESTERN CONGREGATIONAL ASSOCIATION. Annual Meeting at Terrebonne, La., Apr. 7–10. REV. W. S. ALEXANDER. The fact that our meeting was to be at Terrebonne, where we have a live, growing church, and a vigorous, devoted minister, gave promise not only of a hospitable welcome, but of a profitable season of communion. Brother Clay and his church had made every preparation. One hundred and fifty dollars had been raised and expended in putting the church and parsonage in perfect order. A long room in the house adjoining the church had been provided with a table sufficient to accommodate the delegates, and the table was furnished with new tumblers, knives and forks and spoons, and the kitchen with a new stove, all involving a good bill of costs, but met with the greatest cheerfulness, and without the thought of hardship; and then the members of the church and congregation brought in chickens, hams and bread, and everything to satisfy the appetite of hungry men, and I find that Louisiana Congregationalists eat with the same relish as their brethren in the New England Associations. So much for the material part of the feast, for which Brother Clay and his flock deserve all praise and thanks. With the exception of two of the small mission churches, every church was represented. Terrebonne is central, and the Morgan R. R. extension (finished to New Iberia), makes communication easy and rapid. There is something delightful about a new church organization. There is an inspiration in building upon newly-laid foundations, and every member feels that he is essential to the success of the movement. In an organization representing many years and great numerical strength, a man of quiet, retiring spirit is lost to view; but in the first years, every heart and hand are needed.
