CHURCH WORK. We turn now to our Church Work. In every school we have an incipient church; in many of these are organized churches. From all of them there is a continual going forth of a predisposition towards Congregational Churches, which will make for churches in the future. The statistics are as follows: Number of Churches South 131 Indian 5 136 Number of Missionaries South 102 Indian 13 115 Number of Church members South 8,065 Indian 397 8,452 Added during the year South 937 Indian 35 972 Added by profession of faith South 721 Indian 30 750 Scholars in Sunday-schools South 16,023 Indian 1,091 17,114 Four new Churches have been organized during the year. These are at Decatur, Ala., Crossville, Deer Lodge and Pine Mountain, Tenn. A fine church edifice has also been erected in Ironaton, Ala., which is soon to be dedicated. The members have sacrificed nobly to secure it. The church at Meridian has united with the Association in the erection of a beautiful house of worship which, with the new school and the teachers' home, will be ready in a few weeks for occupancy. The church at Knoxville has been enlarged and is practically new. It will soon be re-dedicated. The church at Pine Mountain is a year old; is already the center of four Sunday-schools, with an attendance of 415 children, only 10 of whom had ever been in a Sunday-school before.
