REVIVAL RECORD.
OTTO, CATTARAUGUS co. N. Y.
A correspondent of the Buffalo Specta

A correspondent of the Buffalo Specta-
tor says:
A protracted meeting has recently been
held in West Otto, Gait. Co., the results
of which, have no doubt occasioned great
rejoicing in heaven over many sinners
that repented and turned TO God. The
church in this place is very feeble, consist
ing OF onI y about fifteen or twenty men,
bers scattered over a territory Of some
miles in extent. They were truly little
flock scattered like sheep without shep-
herd. The state Of religion as might be
expected, was very low. In this state of
things the place was visited about the frs,
Of August, by brother Orion, whom they
solicited to come and help them The
meeting commenced on the 25th uIt., and
continued twelve days with great inter st.
l think it was one OF the most interesting
meetings Of the kind that have ever been
permitted to attend. Great interest was
manifested by members Of other denomin-
atoms, particularly the Baptist, many of
whom were permitted to see their friends
rejoicing in hope. In the village, think
not more than one or two family affairs
were in existence at the commencement
of the meeting-but during the meeting
in the village and neighborhood as many
as ten or twelve were erected. On the
Sabbath, the meeting was held in grove,
and the multitude assembled, seemed to
hang with intense interest upon the lips OF
the preacher. The last Sabbath particu-
Iarly, was one of deep interest, and no
doubt will be remembered With joy by
many in the eternal world In the after
noon ofthe Sabbath. after the speaker had
been presenting truth in a most vivid and
lucid manner, founded upon the parable OF
the prodiga! sou, he called upon all who
were determined to go to their Father, to
manifest it; when almost every individual
arose. A father IN the church who had
always been opposed to meetings Of this
kind, taking me by the hand one day, ex-
claimed, Bless the Lord, this is the most
wonderful work ever saw. | have lived
above seventy years, and never seen things
on this wise before. have never been
favorable to such meetings, but it was be-
cause l did not know The meeting
closed on Monday evening the fifth.
