HAMPTON, VA.--Twelve students united with the church on the 1st Sabbath of January, nearly all of them on profession of faith. Seven of these were Dakota Indians. It was a beautiful sight. WASHINGTON, D. C.--The Lincoln Mission of this city has blossomed into the Lincoln Memorial Church, which was organized by council on the 10th of January with Rev. S. P. Smith installed at the same time as pastor. The sermon was preached by Dr. Roy, Field Superintendent, and the other parts were by Dr. Patton, Dr. Chickering, Dr. Rankin, Rev. Mr. Grimke, of the Colored Presbyterian Church, Rev. T. J. Holmes, of Baltimore, and Prof. Fairfield. Music by the organist of Dr. Rankin’s church and his superb choir. Mrs. Babcock, of Newburyport, Mass., has commenced missionary labor with this church with every prospect of wide usefulness. She is supported by the W. H. M. A., of Boston, under commission of the A. M. A. This mission, in its Sunday-school work, runs back to the day of the Nation’s martyr, whose name it bears. It has done a vast deal of good, which has been garnered up in other churches round about, and now it turns to care for its own. It has been sustained, as it is now, mainly by Dr. Rankin’s people. The colored population of the district is 60,000, with only 3,000 outside of the city. The National Capital carries its share of the “wards.” AUGUSTA, GA.--Some of the colored people drew off from one of the large churches to form a new one, and have been taking monthly collections to build a church edifice. A little girl six years old said she must have a nickel, for next Sunday was “throwing in” Sunday, and she wanted to see that church built. Her mother said she shouldn’t give her one, for she spent the last for candy and she ought to have saved that. So she went off with a basket on her arm, picked up bones and sold them for the five cents. Then a friend gave her another and she remarked: “I believe I’ll put this in, too, for _that church must be built_.”
