We have a church of 60 members, and our work is growing in favor both with white and colored; five have recently been added by profession. Our Sunday-school is increasing in numbers and interest. One young man has gone to the Hampton Institute to fit himself for a teacher. Our church property has been improved, and a parsonage erected at a cost of about $230, in connection with which there are ten acres of land. The field here is a promising one, and considering that the church has been organized only two years and a half, the progress of the work seems to us very encouraging.
BELMONT AND LOUISVILLE, GA.
REV. WILSON CALLEN.
The work of ingathering in these churches has been slow and steady. Some who had been negligent have returned and manifested an interest in the church. At Belmont 11 new members have been added during the past four years.
There is a good attendance at Louisville, although but two have united with the church during my ministry. There is great need of temperance work among the people. The Sabbath-schools are in tolerable good condition. We have very little church property, and we are not able to keep what we have in good repair.
