Churches equally with those of other denominations.
Not long since one of the Presbyteries New SCHOOL,
voted to make visit, in body to each church within
its bounds for the purpose Of melting it, by friendly
appeal to greater religious activity. The meetings on
these occasions were of unusua interest. Brief ad-
dresses were made by each of the pastors and as the
Presbytery passed from church to church many men,
bers Of churches already visited expressed desire to
be present at the services held in other places Ia this
the congregations from place to place increased
in rapid ratio, until the gatherings were thronged.
The result of this is already in the churehee

Dr. A. A. Wood is minister, received the large
sion of ytwo persons to ito membership, as the re-
suit of revival in the church. since which time similar
fruits have gathered in others.

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCHES.
The ministers of the Methodist Church in this city
state that they have never known so general an
awakening of religious feeling among the Mehodists a.
that which is now going on in this city and vicinity
The Presbyterians they say, have perhaps been even
more jealous and successful in the work than they
but both denominations have received very large &C.
cessions of late and the revival is spreading very
rapidly This general awakening they partially attn
