TOTAL DONATIONS FOR NASHVILLE CHURCH
A FEW weeks ago an appeal appeared in the columns of the REVIEW for aid in erecting two churches for the colored people, one in Nashville, Tenn., and the other in Jackson, Miss. We are glad to report the following sums received, to be divided equally between the two. Most of those who made these donations have specified that they are to be used for this purpose. Some have requested that their donations should be appropriated where they will do the most good, and we have felt clear in applying them to the building of these churches:— W. H. and E. H. Kynett, $100; H. A. St. John, $20; Mrs. M. Burlson, $11; Mrs. M. E. Coffin, $10; John Biron, $10; Geo. and Tillie Hough, $6; Edwin Squires, $6; Betsy J. Carpenter, $5; O. F. Bowen, $5; Mrs. O. F. Ward, $5; a friend, $5; Mrs. J. Schriver, $5; Gertrude Uhri, $5; A. M. Pillsbury, $5; Mrs. Alice Fisher, $4; E. and J. Tregauza, $4; May L. McCabe, $3.70; Mrs. E. Spicer, $3; Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Wager, $3; Mrs. S. J. Myers, $2.26; C. W. Smouse, $2.10; Mrs. Millie Adams, $2; Miss E. Anderson, $2; Mrs. T. Heald, $2; John A. Lauck, $2; J. B. Stuyvesant, $1.80; Mrs. E. L. Mason, $1.40; Mrs. C.

The one hundred dollars from the company at Jackson, and the same amount from the church at Vicksburg, were given to apply on purchase price of lot, and have not all been paid yet. Owing to recent advance in the cost of building, it will take about two hundred dollars more to complete each building, including painting and seating it ready for dedication and use. Both these structures are well under way, and are developing into neat, commodious buildings, which will properly represent the work in these places. By the last of January, 1904, it is expected that both these buildings will be completed. We earnestly desire that every bill shall be paid at that time, and the buildings be dedicated free from debt. It would be a much greater satisfaction if the balance of about three hundred dollars deferred payments on each of the lots could be also met, so that there would be no debt whatever remaining. Brethren, can not we do this during the month of January? Address Southern Missionary Society, Nashville, Tenn., Station K.
