THE REVEALS IN NEW YORK CITY

There is no abatement in the deep religious
interest which prevails in this city, and which is
mantesting itself in every part Of our land. 1t

morning, noon and evening meetings fer preaching
| and prayer, which are daily open in New York
All the evangelical denominations are actively en-
gagged in abors for the salvation CT the impcnitent
The interest in the meetings in Fulton and
John streets, is evidently on the increase. Bust
men visiting the city constantly attracted
to these meetings and add greatly their interest
by recital Of what the Lord is doing in other
places. The noon prayer meeting III the Ninth
Street Church, usually conducted by clergymcn,
is as much crowded as the rooms in Fulton street.
The afternoon exercises in Rev Mr. Clark
Church, On Twenty third street, last week, were
attended by at least thousand persons, mostly
ladies. The union prayer meeting is held III the
Dutch Church, corner Of Fifth avenue and twenty
ninth street, this week.

interest in the congregation

there were thirty-three persons baptized An
hour before the doors were opened, there were
hundreds waiting, and it is estimated that twice as
