FRO IN the M oTnIHB
A protracted meeting has recently been !
held in the Freewil Baptist church IN !
Boston. Fri Co. N. Y. About 80 souls
have profpssed TO be converted, twelve of
whom have already followed Christ in
baptism.
Among the number of converts are
middle-aged, youth, and children. Some
of the latter class are laboring with such
zeal and earnesness for the conversion of
their associates, as are well calculated to
arouse to new activity, those of ripper
wears. One of the converts, about IL or
IL yeaas Of age, felt much anxiety for
younger brother. He entreated him to
repent Of his sins and give his heart to
God; and when his brother yielded, and
was converted, he was SO affected, that
he clapped his hands, and exclaimed,
"Giory to God" On another occasion,
q little child seven years of age, was
brought by his prayers and conversation
10 feel that he was very wicked and
ought TO repent Immediately The little
child, like the grey-headed sinner, wanted
to put it off till he had sinned longer, or
in other words till he became older; but
the convert begged of him not to, and
repeated as a very reasonable and power
full motive, You don't know that YOU
will livel You don't know that you will
live till morning."
In the same vicinity where these little
children are seeking God, quite number
Of aged persons have lately died; not
one Of whom left an evidence of well
grounded hope. o what wretched de-
fusion is that, which leads souls to delay
obedience TO God, hoping to be more
ready or more willing at some future
hour.
REVIVAL IN RocHEsTER.-As it is
rejoicing to Christians to hear of the
prosperity Of Zion, beg leave to say,
through the columns of your paper, that
there Is a good work of reformation going
on in this place, in which many souls
have been led to call upon God for mer-
cy, and have found pardon in the atoning
blood Of the Savior.
What has added much interest to the
work is, that it has been so glorious
among the children Many from the
ages of q to IA years have bowed the
knee, crying unto God for mercy, and
have arisen praising God and telling
what he had done for their souls. 1t was
"A pleasant sight indeed, and one thought
'on which angels might look with delight.
Three OF the converts were baptized
last Sabbath 1t was truly day Of re-
Joiclng, and one think that will be long
remembered-if not by those who stood
upon the banks 10 witness the scene,--it
will be by those who separated themselves
from the world and followed the Savior
down into the liquid stream on cold day
in January, and were buried with him in
baptism.
One thing worthy of notice is, that
those who were baptized were members
of family of twelve persons. all of whom
have been baptized by ono administrator,
Qviz: Elder Edward BlaiSdell.) with the
exception of one, son-in-law, who is
minister of the Gospel. The father, moth-
er, three daughters, and soR-in-law were
baptized some ten or eleven years since;
another SON and son-:n-law about five
years ago. and the two remaining sons
and daughter.in-law last Sabbath, as men,
toned above. A happy family indeed,
all walking in the ordinances of the Lord.
The revival is progressing in various
parts of the town IN powerful manner.
. may it go on till all shall be converted.

Brother Burr:-We have had long
moral winter in this place The church !
assembled a few days ago; and, after
much mourning and prayer, unanimous
ly agreed to appoint and attend pro-
tracted meeting, which has continued |
days, and is now in session, and the Lord |
is reviviug his work glorously. Back
sliders are returning, and sinners are
submitting TO Christ Of all ages and
classes. 1t seems as though the town
was giving up to God en- masse. Brother
Woodman is laboring with US to good
advantage. More particulars soon.
