The Missionary Society of the school has raised $229. As the last winter was of unusual severity, the most of this amount was spent in the relief of the misery at our very doors. During the winter the students went out every week to mend the huts of the poor, to carry them bedding, clothes and food. A Christian association has been formed in the school, so that those who come here from denominations that do not allow their joining our church may feel that they have duties here as Christian workers. So far as possible, the thought of their individual responsibility for the souls of those around them is impressed upon them. * * * * * WILMINGTON, N.C. REV. D. D. DODGE. We record a steady interest and growth in grace; one added by profession, one by letter, one adult and six children baptized; Sunday-school in good condition; large classes and good attention. The improvement of property has been great, as already described in the MISSIONARY. One of the most encouraging facts is this, which has come to our knowledge in several different ways, that when any one wishes to get a trustworthy servant, the fact of membership in our church is considered a most excellent recommendation. Experience has taught employers its value. * * * * * BEAUFORT, N.C. REV. MICHAEL JERKINS. Our church is steadily increasing in numbers, and we are more encouraged than ever. Four were added to our number last month. The cause of temperance is prospering. We have a prohibitory law, and no licenses are granted in the county and parish. The Sunday-school work is hopeful, the number in attendance averaging about 120. * * * * * PLYMOUTH CHURCH., CHARLESTON, S.C. REV. TEMPLE CUTLER. The most encouraging feature of our work is the Sunday-school. We have 120 in attendance, with an average of 82. Some difficulty is found in procuring teachers. We manage, however, to keep up a good degree of interest among the children. We have a Band of Hope that numbers 120, mostly children, growing up to take part in the future conflict over alcohol in this state. During the winter we had a series of meetings that seemed to quicken some of the old backsliders, who, we trust, will prove of great help to the church, and a few conversions which resulted in the bracing up of our spiritual energies considerably. The people have raised about $500 for various purposes, about $200 of which went to repair the church, $100 to pay the debt, and the rest for current expenses. * * * * * ORANGEBURG, S.C. REV. T. T. BENSON.
