members, and many Of the survivors have been
led away from our Church, and are not now re-
ported.

God and take courage. We have now In the
two Synods of Alabama and Mississippi nearly
twelve thousand communicates. There are
generally a considerable number Of attendants
upon the services in our churches who are not
communicates, nor members of the families Of

sustain its institutions and agencies for good.
