THE RELIGIoUs MEETINGS In this place
continue with unabated interest and I'M
diminished numbers. The utmost har-
mony and co.opsration exist between the
pastors and members of the Christian
Churches. All appear united in address
ing their efforts to the sole object Of re-
claiming sinners, and preparing them for
usefulness here, and for Heaven hereaf
ter. The movement here, as elsewhere,
has been general-enlisting persons from
all ranks aud conditions in life. The
former abodes of vice and dissipation
are untenanted-or, if tenanted, have
been converted into houses of prayer.
ALMOST the frst Indication that any
thing more than the ordinary attention
was being paid to religious subjects
among our people, was the marvellous
intelligence that those who had been con-
spicuous for the disregard. not snly of
the obligations of ChristiaOity, but of
morals, were seeking to make their peace
with God.
We subiein a few aincidentss of the
progress of the work in other portions
of the country, which are of interest:
