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.
