LITTLE ROCK, ARK.—On the 28th of February, after preaching on the
Sabbath previous, in the “Sons of Ham” Hall, the Superintendent
organized the First Congregational Church of that Capital and of the
State, with forty-six members and ten more educated and influential
persons ready to come, and “more to follow.” Rev. B. F. Foster, a
former student of Fisk University and a licentiate of the Central South
Conference, was invited to serve the church for three months. The
people are moving at once to purchase a house of worship. As would be
the right of any Congregational Church, this one incorporated the class
meeting into the constitution found in Roy’s Manual. A Sabbath-school,
thoroughly organized, with one hundred scholars and seventeen officers
and teachers, started off at the first.
MARION, ALA.—Our large room is filled every Monday afternoon at the
ladies meeting, and all hearts are full; and the dark faces look
beautiful to me, shining through smiles and tears, as we talk of the
dear Saviour. The same room is filled to overflowing with young people
and children Saturday afternoon. The interest has been so evident
that Mr. Curtis has held a few extra meetings. Twelve children have
been forward for prayer, and we believe they have given their hearts
to Jesus. Mr. C. will hold meetings next week also, and we hope for a
great blessing.
