BY FIELD SUPERINTENDENT F.E. JENKINS. NEW CHURCHES. Two new Congregational churches in connection with our work completed their organization with communion services on Sunday, September 1st. Both were organized by Northern people who have settled in the South in places which are likely to grow by immigration from the North. One is in Roseland, La., and is under the pastoral care of Rev. C.S. Shattuck. It starts with eleven members. The other is in North Athens, Tenn., and for the present is cared for by our general missionary, Rev. G. Stanley Pope. It begins with thirteen members. Both will come into the regular State organizations of Congregational churches. The First Congregational Church of Alco, Ala., was organized August 25th, with twelve members. Rev. James Brown, a graduate of the last theological class at Talladega College, is the pastor. At Fort Payne, Ala., the first steps were taken August 21st toward the organization of a church. It was voted to complete the organization as soon as possible. Rev. Geo. S. Smith, recently of Raleigh, N.C., has gone to Fort Payne to take charge of the work. NEW CHAPEL. |
