METHODIST.
During the past week the revival in
Trinity Church has continued with
the best results From twelve to
twenty penitents were at the Altar of
Prayer everyevening, and numerous
conversions were protested. The
Pastor, Rev. @. N. Sims, preached
every night during the week, and
when the weather was pleasant was
listened to by large and attentive con
gregations The unusual solemnity
that seemed to pervade the audience
on Thursday evening indicated that
many were thinking Of the necessity
of "change Of life, and making
preparation to enter in and enjoy that
rest that remains only for the people
of God, We presume the meetings
will continue so long as any are found
who manifest desire to fee from the
wrath to come and be saved from their
sins.

man MethoGists have so far completed
their new church edifice as to be able
to worship in the basement. This is
the largest church, we think, belong
ing to the German Methodists of our
State. 1t will cost, when completed,
from twenty to twenty-five thousand
dollars. II is a most substantial brick
building, with handsome steeple,
and is an ornament to our city, as
well as highly creditable to the liber-
atty of the small society who have
had it built
Services will be held in the various
Methodist Churches tomorrow as
usual-at least, we have been notified
of no change.

ton price Of the paper during the en-
suing year, and it will remain ut So
per year, as heretofore.
