The church at Camp Nelson, Jessamine County, is without a regular pastor. The members keep up frequent meetings and a promising Sunday-school. We expect the presence and aid of Rev. J. T. Browne as a pastor to some of these churches. Many useful fields could be occupied if we had support for pastors. * * * * * LITTLE ROCK, ARK. REV. B. F. FOSTER. Our work here, as you know, is in its very infancy; organized 27th of February, 1881, with 40 communicants. Since then we have received by recommendation or letter 32 more. Our Sunday-school is in excellent condition, averages 80 scholars, besides teachers, &c. Our greatest need is competent Christian teachers. We have purchased a lot in a very desirable part of the city (corner lot) at $400. Have paid $140 toward it. Have laid the foundation on it for a church. We are now negotiating for lumber, &c., with which to erect the superstructure. Hope to go into it November 1st, and also to lay the corner-stone very soon. Have raised since organized $468 for church purposes. Hope to send one pupil to Fisk next fall. Probably we may send two. Mrs. Foster (the pastor’s wife) expects to begin missionary work here next fall. We pride ourselves on being among a benevolent, generous class of Christians. All are hopeful of success. Some certainly will be Congregationalists. Will some Christian philanthropist help us? * * * * * GOLIAD, TEXAS. REV. B. C. CHURCH. After years of toil and waiting we are made to rejoice in a revival of religion; not the old, with its fanaticism and immoralities. It is no easy task to educate an unlettered people to reject the past and adopt a new and higher form of Christian life; to change a prayerless and violent home into one of song and praise. This is our work. After a meeting of fifteen days we received five persons into the church on profession of faith, all from the Sunday-school, two of whom are teachers. After a few days’ rest we opened a meeting with the church in Helena, that continued eleven days. As a result we received seven members. These, too, were connected with the Sunday-school. In both meetings the interest continued till the close. Rev. M. Thompson, my associate in work with these two churches, is a brother greatly beloved by all who know him. If he had a few more books, and our churches had one communion service between them, many hearts would rejoice and many thanks would be given to the donors. * * * * * PARIS, TEXAS. REV. J. W. ROBERTS.
