REVIVAL lm AcWOrthS Ne He - ~
Dear Brother Murray:-It may not be
TO you, and the friends of Zion,
TO hear that Zion's converts are multiplied,
although it be not in your immediate yicini-
ty. You will therefore indulge me in say
ing, through your paper, to all who are
interested in the salvation of sinners, that
God has once more revived his children in
Acworth, N. H; and that too at a time
when they were ready to sink, and-despair
of mercy. Something more than sixmonths
since, they received the labors of brother
Green, licentiate, whose labors under God
have been blest to the waking up Of the
church, and the conversion of sinners
The last Sabbath in April, had an ex-
change with brother Green, and baptized
fve.> The second Sabbath in May, had
another exchange, and had the privilege of
| addressing an oyeraowing congregation
After the morning services, we repaired to
the waller, and in the presence of more
than three hundred spectators, baptized
six willing converts. The season was
most deeply interesting and solemn, whilst
the spirit OF the Lord seemed to hover over
the baptismal waters, and say, this is the
! way, walk ye in it. This season will never
be forgotten by many Of those who were
present. The whole number baptized i:
eleven. And among these, are the aged
the middle-aged, the youth and the child
There are others who we fondly hope viii
soon feel that "to obey is better than
sacrifice" The interest is still increasing
And may God in mercy continue this good
work, untilthere shall not be one who will
oppose the counsel of God against himself
