HINsDALE. Extract from a letter to
the Editor, dated Hinsdale, March 10:
BY the assistance of Rev. Emerson
Andrews, from the West, prolonged
meeting was held in the meeting house of
the Baptist church in Hinsdale, from
Tuesday the 18th of Feb. last, to March
FL. inclusive. We have not often wit
messed more solemn scenes, than were ex-
hibited during that meeting. 1t is diff
cult, perhaps impossible, to ascertain the
exact number of hopeful conversions
The day of judgment will reveal how
mlny were, truly converted to God, and
will sing the songs of the redeemed in
the world of glory. Those best qualified
to Judge, estimate the number at about
forty. | have baptized nine, six of them
males, and four of them heads of fam-
lies.
The Christian Journal says that Mr..
1 Willard baptized l6 at Portsmouth on the
LIST inst. The Christian church had re-
ceived seventy.

converts were baptized 10 Portland on the
