From this time his conviction became
deep and pungent. He could not study,
and requested his teacher to meet his class
and pray with them, and tell them what
they must do to be saved. 1t was done.
The meeting was one of deep solemnity.
After day or two it was held at one
o'clock instead of eleven, and nearly every
student in college attended. Instead of the
noise and disturbance which had prevailed
a few weeks before, the college was now
"a scene Of great stiffness and quiet. The
suppressed groanings of some wounded
soul might sometimes be heard, or the low
voice of prayer, amid the silence and dark
ness of the night"
REGULATIONS now went on as usual, but
many for time had to ask to be excused.
They could not stud y the classics. The
long neglected Bible claimed their atten-
ton. Prof Dewey was very active and
faithful. The work was Deep, noiseIess
and powerful. 1t changed exceedingly
the aspect of the college The whole
number who cherished hope was be-
tween thirty and forty, nearly all OF whom
were in the three lower classes. The ju-
nior and sophomore classes shared most
largely. Had | graphic pen | could
describe scenes of deep and thrilling inter
est. One of the converts after relating to
me how he was awakened and brought,
at last, to submit himself into the HANDS Of
the Saviour, said, "Oh, how this will re-
joice my mother" "You have a pious
mother then,' said I. YES" said he,
ard many time, at midnight, have !
heard her praying for me-" Another,
laying his hand upon his Bible, said,
This blessed book my mother gave
me and charged me to read every day.
1t has lain at the bottom Of my chest and
has not been opened until few days since.
1t is Gods book. Oh how | have des-
pissed and treated God.,' Another said,
,"Oh how should rejoice now to preach
the gospel to my fathers sIaves.' And
he was seen, that day, several times con-
versing with coIored persons in the street
on the salvation of their souls One very
manifest fruit Of the revival was peace,
Iquietness, and good order. Government
was easy. There was also a great in
crease oil brothery love. Christians met
each other with warm expression ofaf1ec
ton that could not be counterfeited. One
scene which resulted from this state of
feeling | shall never forget. it was at
The last social religious meeting which my
class attended. The exciting scenes
Of the revival had passed away. The
strong ties Of brotherIy affection which
bound the pious student to one another
We're about to be sundered. The meeting
was tender, and interesting throughout
1t devoIved on me to preside. In selrcling
a hymn TO close, my eye CHANGED to fall
on the one beginning" Best be the tie that
binds" had never seen or heard it be-

much, if any, faI;ering. A tune was
named, and singing commenced. About

was attempted But voices failed. The
place became Bochim. We hung upon
each other and so closed the
meeting md weat. rooms to WEEP
