During the past week, the protractr
ed meeting in Trinity Church has been
carried on with many marks of Divine
approval More or less penitents have
been at the altar of prayer soliciting
pardon for their sins every evening,
and many have professed faith in
Christ and an evidence of acceptance
by Him. -

We learn that protraeted meeting,
in Poseyville, resulted in adding Sc
persons to the M. E. Church, in
that village. Rev. Mr.. Bots, the
preacher on that circuit, has been
wonderfully successful this winter.
Since Conference, he has taken 173
members into the Church, as follows:
Beech Grove, 81; Poseyville Sc; Bush
Creek 26; New Harmony 16: Stew
artsyilleiS 8. Few itinerant ministers
have had their labors so highly

mud. This is the second failure of
the kind, during the present winter,
to hold the Quarterly Meeting on
this charge, all occasioned by the
weather.
