Ellis, dated Egremont, Ms, Jan. Is,
1886 -
"Since l wrote you last the Lord has
visited this place in mercy. We held a
series of meetings in October last, which,
under the blessing Of God, was instrument
al in reviving the hearts of his people =
many backsliders returned with confess
sion of past sins tothe Lord, against whom
they had rebeIled; and several were hope
fully brought from darkness into the light
of the gospel. Since thattime, have bap-
tized five persons on profession of faith in
Christ Jesus. Iexpect others will follow
soon "
Extract of letter to the editor of the

Dear Br. BoLLEs,-
knowing that any information con-
corning the prosperity of the Redeemer's
kingdom, is cheering to the friends of III
on, am happy to inform you, that for a
few weeks past the Baptist Church in this
place has enjoyed an interesting revival o.
religion. The good work commenced in
protraeted meeting. Several have been
hopefully brought to knowledge ofthe
truth, twelve of whom were baptized las
Thursday; others are inquiring; the in
terest still continues. The members o
the church have been very much quick
ened, and seem disposed to take high anc
holy ground, and live for God. We hops
christians abroad will unite their suppl
cations in our behalf, that the divine Re
} deemer may make his abode with US.
} Yours, in Christian love,
P. BRoCKETT"
