promising young men, all hopeful con-
verts, Such was the fact. A new thing
in the history of colleges. As might well
be supposed, a sanctifed air pervaded the
commencement exercises. The students
of the lower classes are all promising
youth, and the hope cannot fail to be in
dulged, that hereafter Rutgers Col lege
will be a favored spot, and that the Lord
will say Of Il, when he writeth up his
people, that this and that man was born
here. Yours, G.

lS37.-BR. BEEBEE-The present year
has truly been one Of great interest to the
Baptist churches in this vicinity. The
most Of them have been visited, within
six months, with a season of refreshing
from the presence OF the Lord. Their
graces have BEEN renewed, and their num-
bers increased Ira, Victory, Cato, Con-
quest Sonnet, Auburn, TroopsviIIe, aud
EIbridge, are among those Who have
shared in the work.
We have great reason to he humble
and thankful, in Cato, that lie Lord still
continues to hear Our prayers and bless
our feble efforts for the advancement Of
his kingdom. We have been permitted
once more to see his power and grace dis
PLAYED in the awakening and conversion
of sinners. Seventy have BEEN added
to our number by baptism the present
year.
The fourth Of July was Observed by us
in a religious way. Many of the young
converts AMI older brethren from sister
churches met with US Or assembly
was large, more than could be convened
In the morning we listened to discourse
from Br. |. Dudley; in the afternoon the
converts were seated together, the number
Of whom was abont two hundred, and the
time was principally occupied by them
We had the privilege Of hearing the
most Of them declare what great things
God had done for them The season was
ole of great interest. Yours, in Chris,

of opposition, it was concluded 10 have

cob Knapp were time y secured, and the
meeting commenced on the 9th of June,
and continued day and night until July
ty power. We enjoyed the aid Of breth-
rem in the ministry Of our own and other
denominations but Br. Knapp did most
of the preaching, the Lord working with
US; and about one hundred manifested a
hope before the close of the meeting, dur
ing which time twenty-eIght were i'm
mersed IN the name of the holy Trinity.
and since fifteen more willingly have
been planted in the likeness Of a Saviour's
death, making in all fortythrec, and 9th
ers stand as can1idateb for the ordin-
ancc.

MAY it spread, until the whole world
