Woodbridge, N. C.—“A wave of the Gospel temperance revival has reached Woodbridge. Brother Peebles printed two large pledges, one for the ‘Band of Hope,’ and the other the ‘Murphy Pledge.’ He also promised to print all the names that would sign either pledge, and to-day there are upon the chapel walls the names of eighty under the Band of Hope pledge, and it is expected soon to have fifty names under the other. Already more than half that number have signed.”
Macon, Ga.—The church and Lewis High School have, after an interval of a little more than a year since their buildings were burned, a home again, in a substantial brick building, together. The upper story is for the church. The hall will seat about 450 persons, and is neat and tasteful. It was dedicated a few weeks ago, with appropriate services. Rev. S. S. Ashley, of Atlanta, preached the sermon. A description of the lower part of the building, which is designed for the High School, we hope to furnish in our next issue.
Savannah, Ga.—Church building needs to be enlarged. One hundred and eighty scholars present in Sunday-school, and good teachers, “as faithful as Moses and as zealous as Peter,” always on hand in time.
East Savannah, Ga.—Will be recognized by council very soon. Three united with the church March 17th. Has eighty Sunday-school scholars.
Woodville, Ga.—“Still in the midst of a revival. Nine school children and four adults received to church membership April 7th. Six were baptized by immersion in the Savannah River—nearly 500 people were present; and one was baptized by sprinkling in the church—the edifice could not hold the people. All the persons baptized are members of Twichell School, held in the church.”
Ogeechee, Ga.—Received five members March 10th. Sunday-school doubled in last four months.
Louisville and Belmont, Ga.—Numbers and interest increasing.
Marion, Ala.—Mr. Hill writes: “The work is increasing in interest. Our Sunday-school has more than doubled since we came, numbering seventy-one. Twelve or fifteen had never been in a Sunday-school or church before. Last Sabbath I visited a mission organized, about a year since, by one of our church members, four miles from here. The average attendance is forty. I found an audience of seventy-five crowding the little school-house.”
Athens, Ala.—A larger number of scholars than heretofore is reported, and a deepening religious interest. Several have professed faith in Christ, and many more have been seeking the Lord.
Sand Mountain, Ala.—The church has no pastor, and only about a dozen members, but meets every Sunday, and a sermon is read by one of the members. The Sunday-school is also kept up.
