Chapter II: Part 2

Chattanooga.--The visiting and prayer-meeting committee have been unusually active. All classes of the sick and needy have been visited and comforted, and consolation and financial aid carried to many homes. Amount raised for the year, $67.24.

Memphis.--Our Union meets monthly, and usually discusses two or three subjects on mission work. Our missionary cow is well, and its owner, Sister Rachel, furnishes good milk and butter to the sick free of charge, and will walk two miles to sell five cents’ worth for the benefit of the Union. Amount raised during the year, $63.11.

Nashville, Howard Church.--Our women are united in all lines of church, mission and industrial work. We are gradually growing in membership and enthusiasm. Our small contributions are no indication of the interest and labor shown. Amount raised for the year, $37.10.

Nashville, Jackson Street Church.--Our Union numbers about twenty members. We have been blessed during the hard times in our effort to do church and mission work. Receipts for the year, $50.10.

Louisville, Ky.--The outlook is bright for a steady progress in the uplifting of humanity. Amount raised for the year, $21.

Little Rock, Ark.--Our Society has been acting in the double capacity of church aid and missionary society. We have recently organized a Church Aid Society in order that we may give the attention of our Union to mission work proper at home and abroad.

North Carolina.--The President reports a most cheering advance in interest and contributions, $223 having been raised by the women of the Union during the year. This was done by very poor and hard working women. While most of the money was spent for aid in their churches and to the sick and needy about them, some of it was sent to the treasury of the Missionary Board.

A few words from Mrs. Ella Sheppard Moore, president of the Tennessee Association, tell the whole story. These once unhappy and largely idle women in practical Christian effort are now employed in Christ’s name, intelligently, radiant in the joy of His salvation.

WORK AT McLEANSVILLE, N. C.

MRS. S. S. SEVIER.

McLeansville is not a great city like New York or Chicago, where everything seems to be in a rush, and everybody is wrapt up in business; neither is it a great railroad center; but merely a "little flag-station." The majority of the people here, both white and colored, earn their living chiefly by farming.

Even though McLeansville is a humble little place, we have a very pleasant work here, sustained mainly by the American Missionary Association. At the close of the year 1894 our church building was very small, indeed; could not hold more than sixty or seventy persons. A "Woman’s Missionary Union" was organized last August. The first work this Union wished to do was to take steps toward enlarging our church. We accordingly planned to hold a fair to raise money for this purpose. The fair consisted mainly of clothing and fancy articles made by members of the Union. Some cloth was contributed for this purpose by Northern friends. The Union felt much encouraged over the result, which was $50. This amount, with an especial tax upon the members of the church, has enabled us to make a very great improvement upon our church. It is now almost twice as large as it was at the end of last year.

We feel that our year’s labor thus far has been greatly blessed. We also feel that our little mission is a worthy work. The people seem to fully appreciate church and educational privileges.
