NEW ORLEANS.—The work for the colored people which was begun in this city last summer by Elder Horton, is progressing. Nearly all the members seem to realize that the time is near when no man can work save he that has the “mark of the beast in his forehead or in his hand.” There is a decided missionary spirit among them, with the result that some dear souls are in the “valley of decision,” while others are earnestly inquiring for more light. We confidently expect that our numbers will be increased.
We have also started a school. It began with one student, but now numbers nine, and others are expected to join. We are encouraging students to sell our periodicals to defray school expenses, thus relieving their parents of the cost of tuition, and teaching the pupils the practise of self-help. Our hearts are full of praise to God for his many blessings.
