JOSEPH P. ELLIOTT, Chairman
na Methodist.
During tie past week, meetings have
been held in both the Ingle Street and
Third Street Churches, in the former
with continued success, aud in The latter
with much interest In the Ingie Street
Church, during The present meeting,
about one hundred and thirty souls have
made a profession Of religion, and one
hundred and forty connected themselves
with the. Church. In.the two Churches,
over three hundred persons have pro.
fessed change Of heart, during the
winter, and fully that number, we think,
have connected themselves with the
Church. The Minister'S and the Church
es manifest no. disposition, as yet, to
cease their labors, and they propose to
labor and pray on, so long as the Lord
prosper 10 their hands.
We observe that the revival spirit 10
general throughout the country, and
shat is a matter Of qualification and re
joicing, it 10 not confined to any partic-
ular religious denomination. This must
be gratifying even to those who make
no profession of religion, for there is
little controversy over tue great fact,
that whoever makes profession of re-
ligion, and walks consistently, obeying
all of Christ's precepts, and following
his example, is far better citizen,
neighhor and friend than he was before.
The world, however ii may repudiate the
Christian doctrine Of salvation, is COM
PEELED to acknowledge the great change
that takes place in the lives of those
protesting it.
