then, the Church lias, for several months,
been without a pastor; lately Rev. E. C.
Bingham has taken charge and is serving

Church is now in a good condition and
the prospects are most hopeful. The reports
of all departments of church work
show life aud progress. Much has latelybeen
done to improve and make more comfortable
the church building; the offerings
have been liberal. The Sundayschool
is doing a fine work. During our
present meeting, both attendance and interest
continually increased. Five members
received. A number declared their
purpose of a better life. The sum of $11
was raised for incidentals; $14.46 for

Washington: A great many people
who come from our Southern Presbyterian
Church to Washington do not know
that there is a Southern Church in our
city. In this way a number have gone to
other churches who have thus been lost
to us. The Central Presbyterian Church,
located at Third and I Sts., northwest,
cordially invites all Southern Presbyterians,
whether in the city for the congressional
term or permanently, to make
tMa nhnrnk * -> ^
vuuii.il men nectuquariers. AS pastors,
will you not kindly let any of your
people who contemplate coming to Washington,
know that we will be most glad
to welcome them at our Church? If
you will write us we will look them up
and see that an invitation is given them
personally to worship with us. Your
help in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

won the hearts of the people by his
sermons so rich, so good and so helpful.
Sunday morning the communion was celebrated
with a great congregation present,
Mr. James McConkey leading the
service, who will also lead the Wednesday

sixty-five persons have been
received into the church to the great
encouragement of pastor and people.
?Westminster: It is the custom of
this church to have preaching every night
for a week preceding each sacramental
occasion. The Rev. W. L. Dingle, D. D.,
of the First Church, came to the help of
the pastor, preaching every night to increasing
congregations. His sermons
were clear-cut, forceful presentations of
the old truths of the Gospel and delighted
the people. On Sunday the pastor

eleven on profession of faith and fourteen
by letter?making ninety-seven received
during the year.. The Sunday

church and manse have been painted
under the direction of the Ladies' Aid
Society and is now one of the handsomest
church properties in Atlanta.

and many people attended. The new
structure will be a handsome one.

this call. No announcemnt has been
made of Dr. Alexander's intentions.
