A Christmas Offering.

The Sunday-school of the church in Marietta, Ga.--Rev. E. J. Penney, pastor--has sent forward a Christmas offering of four dollars, accompanied by the following letter, written by one of the little scholars. One boy picked cotton to earn his dime. One girl darned stockings for a gentleman to raise her part. We are much pleased with the gratitude expressed for the aid furnished by this Association in securing the new church:

MARIETTA, GA., Dec. 9, 1880.

Mr. Penny, dear sir, we have a nice little church in which we have a splendid Sabbath school, and we have 5 classes my sister is one of the teachers, myself and three little brothers attend the Sunday school and like it very much and we have had three very nice concerts which we injoyd very much, and we have a very nice pastor and we all love him very much because he is so good and kind, and we turn many thanks to that kind and benevolent socitey who assisted us in building our nice little church and we as Sunday school scolars wishes to mak that socitey a christmas presant which will be the sum of 4 dollars and we would like to do more but we are young and weak but we hope by the help of the lord to be strong some day.

from your little friend ANNIE E. PORTER.

Beach Institute.

MISS G. HUNTER, SAVANNAH.

We are receiving letters from our Northern friends inquiring if we are asleep in Savannah. We repudiate the idea--we are fully wide awake, although our work has not been represented recently in the MISSIONARY.

The weather and sickness prospectus at the beginning of the year promised to be very disastrous to our missionary labors here. Since our return it has rained almost consecutively for three months. Notwithstanding the unusual cold and rain, our school record shows a larger attendance at the Beach Institute than last year.

It is astonishing to us teachers who come from the North, where the children are sent to school clad in rubber clothing in inclement weather, to see these boys and girls, so ill fitted to brave the rain and cold, prompt and punctual in their attendance at the daily sessions. In my department 70 boys and girls meet daily for secular and religious instruction. Several of these children live at a distance of from three to six miles, remaining without luncheon, perhaps after an indifferent breakfast, the entire session. Every day I see new proofs of appreciation in the parents and children: they are beginning to realize the strenuous efforts of missionary labor for their future prosperity and eternal salvation. What more encouragement can we desire--looking into their eager faces all aglow, and seeing the quiet submission at the lack of even the necessary daily comforts that they may feed this great hungry desire for knowledge?

We have a weekly Bible meeting held every Monday afternoon immediately after school, in the Principal’s room, conducted by Miss Douglass. The children are interested and the attendance is large. With the Bible in one hand and the text-book in the other, we hope grand results for the next generation of the colored race. Also we have a woman’s weekly prayer-meeting held at various houses. Would I could take my readers with me to these little gatherings of sincere, earnest women, praying for the salvation of their fellow-people; singing “hallelujah” for that freedom from sin worse than the bondage of slavery. The church work is progressing under our minister. These people very quickly discover when the Gospel is preached in an able and sincere manner, and are attentive listeners, worshiping the Lord in a subdued and quiet way; a strong contrast to their former modes and habits. We are preparing a list of the names and residences of the Beach pupils for Miss Douglass, who intends visiting the parents in a friendly and religious call. The extreme cold and distress, to a people unprepared for it, call upon us for extra exertions. Miss Douglass distributes donations judiciously, and thoroughly inquires into the needs of the recipients. Pray that the Lord will continue the blessing of life and health, that we may toil on in faith and patience.

Missionary Work in Selma.

MISS MARY K. LUNT.

I find my work constantly increasing; indeed there is no limit, only a lack of time and strength. Really, there is work enough for two or three more, whose whole attention can be given to it. I am happy to say that some of our colored sisters are able to give us considerable help in missionary work, and we feel confident that more aid from the younger ones may be expected.

We have formed a society called “The Mission Workers,” the object of which is to awaken a greater interest in home and foreign missions. The proceeds of a sale which we are to have at Christmas will be devoted to this purpose.

Since beginning work in the fall I have called on one hundred and thirty-three families. When convenient, as in most cases, I have read the Bible and tracts or papers to the women, also offering prayer with them; have established a weekly prayer-meeting for the women, some distance from the Home; also one weekly in my room, in which white and colored lead by turns. They are precious seasons to us all, and we feel that a blessing is for us. Several of our members, whose husbands are unconverted, meet in their homes to pray for their conversion. Friends frequently present requests for prayers.

I have also quite a large class of married women and one young man, reciting to me, in the afternoon, in the various branches of common school studies, and could have a much larger class were I to open a night school, but I dare not undertake that, my time is so fully occupied during the day.

Revival in Central Church--English Evangelists.

W. S. ALEXANDER, D. D., NEW ORLEANS.

In my last letter the hope was expressed that we might have good tidings to send you. God has graciously and marvelously answered our prayer.

The month of November was a blessed month in Central Church.

The week of prayer in January has in other years been the beginning of real, earnest revival effort. The revival seasons of blessed memory have dated from this holy week. But the coming of two English Evangelists, James Wharton and Richard Irving, during the last days of October, called for immediate action, and we decided at once to open revival meetings, and to engage in a united and earnest effort for the salvation of sinners.

While these dear brethren were resting from their voyage, the church came together and re-consecrated themselves to God. There was a quick and deep apprehension of the necessity of personal holiness and of self-denying service for Christ. Indeed the entire month of October had been a month of prayerful preparation for the movement. Printed notices were widely distributed, and Christians went from house to house and invited people to come and seek the salvation of their souls. From the opening night the meetings were marked by deep seriousness and the evident presence of the Divine Spirit. The method of the Evangelists was simple and honest. No artificial means for exciting emotion were used. The Gospel was preached in its simplicity, its purity, and its power. The sermons were heart-searching, faithful and tender. The law in its exactions and the Gospel in its provisions and promises, were presented night after night. Brother Irving stayed with us ten days, and Brother Wharton three weeks. After the sermon the Pastor took charge of the meetings, and called the inquirers to the “mourners’ seats.” Special appeals and prayers were offered. Inquirers were directed one by one how to find the Saviour, and to obtain peace in believing. At some meetings Christians were permitted and encouraged to speak of the love and preciousness of Jesus; and such a volume of testimony! We could truly say, “Lord, it is good for us to be here.” As I recall the sheaves that were gathered in this glorious harvest I find much to thank God for. In two instances both the husband and wife--all young people--were converted, and standing side by side took the vows of the church upon them. Women who had struggled with manifold temptations, and around whom the wildest storms of sorrow had gathered, found in Christ a refuge from the storm and the tempest. Young men with the hopes and possibilities of Christian manhood before them, humbly, heartily, and I believe, forever, took their position as the disciples of the Son of God. When Brother Wharton was compelled to leave us to meet an engagement in another church, the Pastor continued the meetings for another week, assisted by Rev. A. N. Wyckoff, of the Canal St. Presb. Church, Rev. Dr. John Matthews, of the M. E. Church, and two able colored preachers. The fire burned brightly to the last.
