The Zion, Enon, Liberty, Reho- both, Second, First West Wash- ington, Nineteenth Street, and Bethlebam. And out of 21 Metho- dist churches and Missions, there are as many as five free.

An interesting revival is now in progress,. at the Mount Dew Bap- tist church, Caroline Co. Va., and throughout the state, revivals, as- sociations and Sunday school con- ventious are attractive. Revival is going on at the Mount Jezreel church, 5th and E. sts. s. e. and will soon follow in some other churches. The Baptist Publication Society of Philadelphia, has appealed . to all the Baptist churches and S.
