cy of God, and the work seems to be ex-
tending its influence into the Congrega-
tional and Methodist societies. VIC.
We are happy to see by the excellent
Zion's Herald, that the Lord is again
smiling upon the Methodist churches in
New England, and accounts of cheering
revivals are again becoming somewhat
frequent. The following are from the pa

GLOUCESTER, Mass.
Dear Brother-Withi nexpressible graf
itude to God, l would inform you that the
work ofthe Lord is prospecting gloriously
IN this town. This work commenced last
September, and has steadily progressed
ever since. Rev. John Bayley came to
this place the first of September, and en-
tered upon his work like one whose bust
ness it was to save souls. His indefatiga-
bic and jealous labors seemed peculiarly
to fit him for his charge The character
of the work appears to be deep, and solid,
and rational-free from what is sometimes
called extravaganza. The gray-headed
sire, down to the youth of fifteen, have
shared it, and a number who are heads of
families. Indeed, it is a new era in the
history of Methodism in this town.
Not far from sixty have participated in
the pardoning mercy of God. Others arc
serious and penitent. The congregation
is larger than at any time previous, and
give unusual attention to the word. Fiji
tyfour have joined the church on trial,
and Others will probably join soon Praise
the Lord for what he has done! Nav
the work go on, till this large and popu-
lOus town shall be brought entirely under
the influence ofthe gospel.

NEWMARKET, n. H., Jan. IL, 1885.
AS | am writing, l will inform you,
that the Lord of the harvest has blest US,
on this station, the present year. About
forty have united with US; and the other
evangelical churches have shared in the
good work,
HoLLIsToN, Jan. 10, 1896.
Dear Brother-The Lord is doing a
great work for US here; more than fifty
have been converted within the last ten
days, and the work still goes on. Proba-
bly, you will hear from US soon. Yours
afectionately, J. PARKER.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. Jan. IS, 1886.
We are enjoying good revival in this
station. Between thirty and forty have,
within a few weeks, passed from death
unto spiritual life, and our prospects are
still glorious. The church are deeply
devoted, and more united, laborious, and
ardent people, have never had the honor
and privilege to be connected with.

PEMBROKE, N. H. This society en-
Joyed pleasing state ofthings the autumn
past. Fifteen were added to the church
the first Sabbath in january. The church.
es in Concord and Pembroke are large,
compared with the congregations. There
is now cloud as big as a mans hand
hanging over the village of Concord. If
Elijah should bow himself in lowly pray
er and supplication, there will soon be
sound ofabundance of rain.-N. H. Obs.
Providence, R. l. The Pawtucket
Record, edited by Rev. Ray Potter, SAYS
A glorious revival of religion is now in
progress in Mr. Blain's society, in Provi-
dence. This is truly rejoicing. It's un-
derstood that Mr. Blain was asked By 9
certain prudent" (O minister in his Vi
cinity, :" if he did not think that the reason
why religious feeling was so low in his
congregation, was, because he had so
much to do with abolition :" Brother
Blain has been one of the most active, de-
cided and fearless abolitionists in the state
and the on y minister it is believed in
Providence, that has taken a prominent
active part in the cause; and now, while
no other church in that city is visited with
a special outpouring of Gods Spirit,
wonderful work Of grace is going on IN
der his ministry.
FALL RIVER, Mass The same paper
says:
~ have just learned with pleasure,
that the Baptist church and congregation,
in Fall River, are now enjoyinga precious
revival of religion. This is another abo-
lltlon church and minister. Do "pru-
dent" ministers and professors remember
the letter, they sent in to the association last
fall on the subject of slavery!"
PROVIDENCE, r. l. You will be
pleased to learn that a revival has com
in the I'd Baptist church in this
city, and from 80 to 40 are expressing
hope Of having recently passed from death
unto life From. SO to 60 more are in
