Revival I'm Brandon.

A precious work has been in progress in
this town, for several weeks past. 1t con-
menced in the northwest school-distrlct, and
spread into various parts Of the town, before
the village was affected, Atlength series
Of meetings was commenced here, which
have been attended with glorious results
PRAYER meetings have been held at o'clock
in the morning, and at half past in the
evening-pr at in the evening,
followed with prayer and exhortatien com
mencing at and continuing until about 9.
The excitement has been general and
| heal .hful-such as moves the understanding
as we'll as the heart. There has been nc
opposition, from saint or sinner. There
has been great unanimiiy among the differ
eat denominations. Union meetings, SO
called, have been held in the village, in the
CengregationaEst, Baptist, and Methodist
| neeting-houses, all the congregations emit

all the ministers preaching ia their turn, b,
agreement among themselves.
The work has been characterized by its tax

this out as fact-not as a test of the gen

Revival and Baptism.

CHIcoPEE FALLS, Apr. /, 1899.
To the Editor Of the Gil. WatcAmam:
My Dear Brother: When last saw
you, promised to send a notice of apv
indication of good, from the Head of the
Church, to his people here. In fulfiImept
OF that promise, | forward the FOLLOWING
account of baptisms at Chicopee Falls.
On Sabbath morning last, at O'Clock
the inhabitants of our village were seen
IN crowds, focking to the banks of the
Chicopee. The young and the old were
there, the pious and the profane, the any.
ious sinner, and the rejoicing convert
The sun shonc in splendor-the river
glided in transparent beautv-and all ma
ture, save slight breeze, seemed hushed
to repose. In short time the solemn
quietude was broken by the rich melody
of happy voices, singing
| Savior, thy commands fulfilling.
| Yielding all that once we priced:
| 10! we come with joyful feeling
| Like our Lord, to be baptized
| hound our Jordan
Let thy grace be exercised."I
This was followed by invoking the
blessing of the Savior on his own iestitu.
'lon' when thirteen Joyous youth, havino
protested their filth in Chris, were burr.
ed with him an baptism. We hope often
to resort to the place where much water
is Tor the same purpose for which John
went to Enon. The Spirit of the Lord
IS Sill with us-Chrlsians are praying
converts are multiplying-the awakened
are lncreaslng-and the impeni'ent are
listening to the word of God. The pas,
Sabbath was season of refreshing to
our people, and l can truly say, the hip.
Plest of my pastoral life. In w Spring.

the English Baptist Missionary Society, |

MIR. .yUDSON.

Soon after Mr.. Malcolm arrival in Bur.
nah, the missionaries held Conference,
at which many important topics relative
to the Mission was discussed, and much
business transacted. The first Sabbath
during this convocation, which was in
April. 1886, Mr.. Malcolm, by request,
preached 10 the missionaries. He says
that it was delightful to preach to such
greedy listeners as they were, for most of
them had long been deprived of the re-
freshment of sitting under gospel SER
mon; and Mr.. Judson had not heard Que
in English, for fourteen years! He then
makes the following interesting refec-
ttions-Zson' Herald.
( "As my eye rested on this lovely little
company, It was sweet to contemplate the
venerable founder of the mission, sitting
there to rejoice in the growth of the cause

Mrs Carey, his third wife, died about
q year after her husband Mr.. Wards
widow survived him ten years. Carey's
son is now missionary in the upper prov
inces. Ward left two daughters, both of
whom are pious and have been married
several years.
A handsome church was built in the
, town, by the Danish government many
years ago; but no chaplain has ever been
appointed, and the missionaries have al
ways officiated there. They have beside
this a commodious chapel of their own,
where worship is performed on week
days and Sunday evenings, and a consid-
cradle church Of natives. A mile and
half from town is another.
This mission was commenced in 1893
Its history is too well known to leave me

on is fruits. 1t was the commencement
Of those grand operations, which we trust
the church will never rclinquish trll the
earth be filled with the knowledge of the
Lord. With the exception of what had
been done in the Tamui and Maylayalim
languages, the whole of India was then
enlirely destitute Of the scriptures in their
vernacular tongues. Few in number,
and sustained by their own resources, the
missionaries have given the world the
whole Bible in Sunscrit, Chinese, Benga-
lee, Hindu, Mahratta, Oriya, Sikh, Push
