We invite the attention of our readers to the illustrated article "In
North Carolina." This sketch covers but a limited portion of our great
work, but it shows the relations it bears to its surroundings in the
public life of the South. Our churches in this district are prosperous,
and we are gratified to say that the promise of church extension over our
wider districts is very encouraging. Eight new churches will be added to
our list immediately among the colored people, and others still are
expected soon to be added. In the mountain work, also, five new churches
will be added to our enrollment.
The next number of THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY will contain an extended
article, with illustrations, on our mountain work, hence nothing appears
in this number regarding this field.
