Rev. S. S. Ashley has resigned the care of the First Church in Atlanta, and Rev. Geo. E. Hill, of Marion, Ala., is supplying the pulpit during the summer.
Woodville, Ga.—The Sabbath-school is growing, and God is with us. It is in a better condition now than ever before since its organization. Last Sunday we had both white and colored people, who came seven miles to our Sunday-school. The day-school has never been as prosperous as it is this year. Truly we ought to be thankful. Our Sunday night meetings have been crowded for some time.
New Orleans, La.—A very complete manual of the Central Congregational Church, neatly printed, is in our hands. The order of admission and of administration of the church is very complete. The present membership is 149. Rev. Walter S. Alexander has been pastor of the church as well as President of Straight University for the past three years.
