--Tindestak, Alaska, is a Chilcat village of 16 houses and 162 people. Each of the houses cost the Indian owners over a thousand dollars. Their desire, however, for the Gospel was so great that the whole population left the village last October and moved to the new mission station at Willard that they might have school and church privileges. * * * * * THE FREEDMEN. REV. JOSEPH E. ROY, D.D., FIELD SUPERINTENDENT, ATLANTA, GA. AFTER THE SOWING, THE REAPING. BY SUPERINTENDENT ROY. It was at Athens, Ga., a city whose classical name has had associated with it the University of the State. Sixty-five years ago, my father’s pastor at Basking Ridge, N.J., Dr. Robert Finley, left there a church of 600 members and an academy in which he had trained Theodore Frelinghuysen, Senator Dayton and other such men, to come and serve a church of only a score of members, and the University as its President. I look up here his sepulchre and learn of the savor of his godly influence. In 1867 the Knox Institute is built, a large two-story frame structure, with four school-rooms in it. For four years this is occupied by our Northern teachers. Meantime students are going forward from the “Knox” to Atlanta University; and then some of the advanced students of the latter institution are sent one by one, to serve as principals with colored assistants. In this way came S. B. Morse, John McIntosh and J. G. Hutchins. The last-named receives an appointment to a clerkship in Washington, and a recent graduate of the University, Paul E. Spratlin, is appointed as Principal with three lady assistants. Morse has now a position in the Custom-House at Savannah, and McIntosh is a representative of Liberty County in the legislature. The Superintendent finds that the time has come to start a church. The building is repaired and one of its rooms fixed up for a chapel. Mr. George V. Clark, a student of the “Atlanta” and a graduate of the Theological Department of the Howard University, is secured. He, with his yoke-fellow Spratlin, starts a Sunday-school, a prayer meeting and preaching services. Affinity draws to them friends who are longing for something more quiet, orderly and intelligent in church life. Then a revival this spring adds eight disciples to the nine who are ready to come into a new church by letter. And so a Council meets here on the 14th of April to recognize the church and ordain the pastor. They find everything in an orderly condition. There are present from Atlanta Prof. C. W. Francis, Pastor Evarts Kent and his delegate, Deacon A. J. Delbridge and Superintendent Roy; from Marietta, Pastor E. J. Penney; from Macon, Pastor S. E. Lathrop; from Orangebury, S.C., a delegate; also Rev. Dr. C. W. Lane, Pastor of the Presbyterian Church in this city. Professor Francis is made moderator and Rev. E. J. Penney, scribe. The church process and the examination of the candidate are heartily approved.
