Part 2
HELENA, Texas.—Pastor Mitchell Thompson rejoices with his people in a revival of unusual seriousness and spirituality. Eight or ten persons were joined to the company of believers. That the people should attend through freezing weather was a thing almost unknown before. They commonly hold such meetings in midsummer. The church has been painted, the pastor doing the work.
SODDY, Tenn.—At the recent meeting of the Central South Conference at Florence, Rev. W. H. Thomas and his Welsh Church at Soddy were received, upon application, into the fellowship of the body. Rev. Robert D. Thomas, of the Welsh Church at Knoxville, has been a member for some time. He is now retiring from his charge and a pastor will be sought who can preach in English a part of the time.
ATLANTA, GA.—Miss Ella W. Moore, a teacher in the Atlanta University, has, by the special aid of friends, been able to employ a teacher in a private school opened under her auspices. In addition to the receipts in money, she has recently received (for which she makes grateful acknowledgment) from Mrs. John B. Gough, Worcester, Mass., patchwork, pictures, cards, tracts, etc.; from Mrs. J. B. Shaw, Paxton, Ill., and Miss Amy Blatchford, Chicago, valuable Sabbath-school papers and periodicals.
MERIDIAN, Miss.—By a council on the 15th of Dec., Mr. J. L. Grice, a graduate of the college and theological department in Howard University, a member of Dr. J. E. Rankin’s church, was ordained as pastor after a most satisfactory examination. Sermon and right-hand of fellowship, by Superintendent Roy; charge to the candidate, by Rev. E. C. Stickel; address to the church, by Rev. C. B. Curtis; and prayer of ordination, by Bishop Turner of the African M. E. Church, the members of the council joining him in laying on of hands. As the Bishop was holding a Conference in the city, he attended both the afternoon and evening services of the Council, after the members of that body had waited upon the Conference in the morning. The Bishop stated that in attending a great many examinations, he had never come upon a better one.
Owing to the space occupied by the list of our appointments for the year we have been obliged to omit the publication of General Notes and to hold over other matters of interest.
