RE wal IN wHATELY, MASS.

E1trect of a letter, from Rer. William
Hubbard, to the Publisher ofhe Chris
tan Wetchman, dated Goshen. Mass.
Noo. "a, 1886.
AS it is season of spiritual drought in
our churches generally, it may not be un-
interesting to the friends OF Zion, espe-
cially to feeble, depressed churches, to
learn that some of its thirsty hills are ex-
perlenclng refreshing from the presence
of the Lord. ..
The Baptist church in Whately has
for several years remained in a very low,
dlsheartened state; for seven or eight
years past there had been but two or three
added to their numbers; and they were
reduced to the painful apprehension that
they should very soon be under the neces-
slty of giving up their visibility as a
church of Christ But the Great Head
of the church has graciously appeared in
their behalf, to rebuild this part of his Je.
rusalem.
A young brother Rice, from the Ham,
ilton Institution, N. Y, has, for few
months past, been !aboring with this peo-
PIE in word and doctrine; and the Lord of
the vineyard has graciously approved,
and is blessing with success, his uniring
efforts to do them good.
There is encouragement to hope that a
large harvest may yet be gathered into
this fold of Christ.

BARRE, Mass. The Lord has been
and is graciousl Y reviving his work, on
some parts of this circuit. In Ware and
Barre, a glorious revival has been pro-
crossing tor some weeks. Some 70 or
80 have protested to find pardon, about
40 OF whom have been received on proba-
ton. We have omens of good on
other parts of the Circuit We are ex.
pecting still greater things. Lord increase

"LovE ALL.'-In a recent number
of the Christian Advocate and Journal
we find an account of revival in South
Carolina, from the pen of J. c.. PosteIl,
that Methodist minister who thinks that
slavery is g an ordination Of God" H.
gives the following account of the con-
version of Jew or Catholic, we cannot
tell which from this account:
Among the number converted and re-
ceived in the church, is one worthy ofno-
tice; an old Jew, from Hungary, who had
been raised a Catholic The first love
feast he attended after joining, he rose
among the last to speak for God; and al
though his accents were broken and unin-
teIligible his tears and gestures were ex-
pressive. He was und> rstood to say, in
conclusion, You hab de Holy Ghost
warm in de heart, den you can Iuv man,
an horse, an COW Yes you can luv
aiIr | have never seen palmer evil
dence of conversion in all my life"
And thus it appears from Mr.. Postelps
admission, that when the " Holy Ghost
is warm in a mans heart" he will love
his fellow men, he will love the horse and
COW; in a word, he will love alp
What testimony this, against slavery
If the Holy Ghost, warm in the heart, u
caused a man to love the beasts Of the
earth, how much more does it cause him
to love his fellow man, his neighbor, as
himself.
And from this it follows, that those
shareholders who use their neighbors' ser
vices without wages, and rob them of thei
personal liberty, do not possess the Holy
Ghost warm in the heart. Zion

DAY OF Fasting AND PRAYER.-The
Illinois Baptist Convention, at it's recent
session, passed the following resolution,
which had been previously agreed on by
several associations:
Resolved, That in view Of the low state
of religion generally through our coun-
try, it be urgently recommended to our
brethren, land the delegates feel them
selves pledged specially to bring this SUBJ
ject before the churches to hold season
of special fasting, humiliation, confession
and prayer, on the last dag Of the gear,
Dec. 81
The above we regard as very appropri-
ate. 1t would be we'll for many others,
and perhaps the churches in general Of
all denominations, TO observe such a sea-
son. If we mistake not, there is occasion.

The Editor of lions Herald suggests
that Episcopalians "join - the Methodists
and adds we have no doubt, that when
ever the Protestant Episcopal Church ap-
plies to the Methodist Episcopal Church,
for the terms upon which they may be ad-
mitted among US, their application will be
courteously received, and respectful re-
ply given"
A fine opportunity this, for our Episco-
pal brethren to exempIify their desire for
Christian characterization Waterman.

their mill, in Shephcrdstown. in complete

Ii is our melancholy duty 10 notice the
death of another of the ministers of our be-
loved Zion making the fourth that has
been called from his earthly labor TO his
heavenly rest, since the demise of the We
nerable Bishop White Like those who
have proceeded him, the annunciation of
The name of this brother in connection with
hts departure, will communicate a shock to
many ia the community, and begetin them
feelings of deep sorrow. The Rev. CY
rus Ii. JACOBS. is no more. He died at Car
isle, Pa, on Wednesday, l4th, inst. in the
3Olh year of his age. Ii would lmpart no
Information to those who were acquainted
with him, TO say, that he Was one of the
most sincerely pious, Jealous, iabosious,
useful and promising ministers OF his day,
aud Of our Church.
MIR. Jacobs became a subject of divine
grace, while under the parental roof, and
ter taking his degree, he repaired to the
Theological Seminary, at Alexandria, ID.
C., where he completed his theological
course, and in the summer Of 1881, recei.
we'd orders at the hands Of the venerable
Bishop Moore. He successfully occupied
the rectorship OF Grace Church. in this
city, of st Paul's and St. Andrews, Ches
ter county, and lastly of the parishes Of
Maruusbuig and Hedges Chapel, Va. In
all these situations, there are many TO
whom his name is very dear. Especially
will the tear be shed by numbers who
through his Ins~trumentality became the
subjects Of Gods saving grace.
The extreme sickness OF a near relative
called hun in company with his family. TO
visit Carlisle. He complained some little
on bis arrival /; a few days after he was
attacked with chills and fever-on the 18th
bis disease assumed a Typoid grade. and
in the afternoon, about 4 O'Clock, his spirit
departed TO spend an eternity with its Re
deemer. He was not regarded dangerous
until the evening preceding his death-and
in all was only severely sick about three
davs. Thus, III the midst Of his days and
his usefulness, and in the enjoyment Of a
good constitution and of health, was this
Gear brother called away 10 his reward
Ii - hard TO realize that one who only the
other day was the beloved companion OF
his brethren, and engaged with them IN
schemes of usefulness fer the Church aud
for souls. is now no more on earth. we
state nothing Of the dying exercises OF his
mind, not having been informed what the
particulars were we have understood that
he was subjected to delirlum Tor some
time previous TO his death.
This brief tribute TO his memory Is s'ven
by one who we'll knew him and dearly To-
we'd him, and who often has taken sweet
counsel with him, and enjoyed the benefits
of his agreeable and pious society. May
bis death, as well as the deaths Of those
who have SO shortly gone before him TO
eternity and glory, confer a salutary and
abiding impression on those brethren who
yet remain in the Lords earthly vineyard.
