Extract Of a letter from a friend IN Cum.

WtGehm6n, dated Jan. %, 1888.
@The Lord has appeared for his church
cs and people in this place in rsmarka-
bic manner. A few weeks since some
Christians had strong faith that the Lord
was about 70 pour out his Spirit. The
Melhodisis had already held protracted
: meeting in the West part Of the town,
which resulted in several conversions
The Baptists and Congregationlists unit
"a = = .,~,.,e of ay,.,,,n :, r,aa,;n0s -, tho
Baptist Meeting house in the East part,
which have resulted gloriously, though
they Yet continue with equal interest,"
We have had no exciting preaching; no
extra means; but the Lord has blessed
feeble instruments. The work has been
powerful among the heads OF families
In about twenty-five families, the hus-
band or wife or both have found peace in
believing in Christ. The work is gener
al--all persons seem to be affected. The
ucsdemy, which is under my direction has
shared abundantly in the work. About
one third Of the school have INDUCED ne,0
hopes; others are much revived. And
what IS remarkable. il seems as though
the Lord had worked almost without
means. Our pastor, Rev. L. Sandys, has
labored faithfully and has been greatly
blessed. We vet believe and pray that
the Lord will DO greater things for Us -
Cot we have no reason to distrust Him"
