THE Coop Work CoNrINUEs.-The revivals in
the Methodist and Baptist Churches, which we have
chronicled in previous issues have abated none of
their interest during the past week. but on the con-
trary the spirit and feeling upon the subject seems
to have increased largely. Immense congregations
have been in regular attendance upon the minisra-
tions of the Gospel and scores have been anxiously
inqniring the way to salvation. Indeed, for the
population of our village, such s. general awaken
ing and concern is seldom witnessed. May He
who alone is able continue to spread the glorious
work from heart to heart, until all shall know Him
unto life everlasting

administered by Rev. Mr.. MURRAY, of the Baptist
!, Church, to twelve persons. Upwards of 40 have
attached themselves to the Methodist Church.

tonight.
