We have been highly blessed by the Lord this year in our church work, both temporal and spiritual. In April we enjoyed a revival season, during which seven persons were converted to Christ, five of whom have united with our church. Our Sabbath-school numbers 45, and is doing well. New hymn books have been purchased, the church has been repaired, painted and plastered, and a chandelier secured. Three members of our church are absent teaching. One young man is engaged in missionary work. * * * * * FIRST CONG. CHURCH, ATLANTA, GA. REV. C. W. HAWLEY. Last February and March were months of revival and ingathering. The work commenced in the Storrs School, and the teachers there and in the Sunday-school had precious answers to prayer and precious rewards of labor. Never was it more plain that church and school are strongly wedded and mutually helpful. Almost daily meetings were held for several weeks, all quiet, orderly, solemn; short sermons, many prayers and much individual testimony for the Lord. Rev. Henry E. Brown and wife and Brother J. E. Lathrop, of Macon, rendered good help to the pastor. [Illustration: FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, ATLANTA, GA.] March 13th was a memorable Sabbath, 28 uniting by profession and two by letter. In April, seven joined by profession, and in May, four more by profession and three by letter, making an addition of 44 in the three months. A new temperance society has been organized; new members, almost without exception, take total abstinence pledge, and but few old members are known to have the drinking habit. The Sunday-school is prospering; over 50 in the infant class; sometimes over 300 are present in all. With the aid of the American Missionary Association and Northern friends we have a fine new bell. Church property is valuable and in good order. We have paid up our church debt, and have now a fine church costing $5,000, with a seating capacity for 500, and a basement under the whole for Sunday-school rooms. During the year ending January 1, 1881, the church raised for debt and current expenses about $800. Many of our young people are in Storrs School or Atlanta University. One has just graduated from the theological department in Howard University; six or more, now or formerly members of our church, are at work in the Gospel ministry, and two score or more are, or have been, engaged in teaching among their people. * * * * * ATLANTA UNIVERSITY CHURCH. REV. C. W. FRANCIS. The church of Christ in Atlanta University is made up entirely of teachers and pupils in that school, and so has a somewhat different sphere from many of our sister churches. It now numbers 88 members, having received larger accessions during the past year than in any other year of its history, 22 having joined, all save two upon profession of faith.
