needs. After such visits we hear of christians being
aroused to the performance of family worship, and
other duties in the family relations in the neighbor-
hood, in better attending church, in more literally
supporting the gospel at home and in sending t
abroad to the destitute. We also hear of the con-
version Of parents, children and servants and the
swearer, sabbath breaker and drunkard reformed

channel, Coportage, through which His truths, a
preached and printed may be conveyed to every

whom its truths aroused to duty and he loaned il to
others. At least five family affairs erected PRAYER

Of the results of that tract which is yet preaching
and it has influenced several in that ueiehborhood
to send for other tracts which are also preaching

creased revivals Of religion last year. the demand 70,
tracts was greater than any previous year. and

Awakening of snnerA There was also treat in
