The Plymouth Congregational Church of New Decatur, Ala., aided by the
American Missionary Association, is erecting a chapel which is to be
used as a church until the congregation shall become larger and
wealthier. This church has been organized by Northern people who have
gone to this new and growing town to make their homes. It is connected
with the Central South Association of Congregational Churches.


HYMN BOOKS WANTED.

The Plymouth Congregational Church of New Decatur, Ala., greatly needs
hymn books. It has a few copies of the "Songs of the Sanctuary," but not
enough to enable it to use them. Any church having copies of this book
which are not needed in its service could scarcely do better with them
than to send them to this courageous little church.

From Crossville, Tenn., we have this appeal: "It would be esteemed a
great favor if some church could furnish our people with a donation of
hymn books for church singing. You may know of some church having a new
supply of hymn books who would be pleased to give this poor flock on the
mountains their old books. If so, they would be thankful, and highly
appreciate the favor."
