The following account of revival
commencing in the Presbyterian
Church of Beloit, Wis, and after
wards adjourned to the Congregation
al Church, the former being too small
to hold the people. will be read with
interest. 1t is from the Rev. William
Alexander
Last Saturday was memorab BILE
day in. -Beloit. The Spirit OF God
came down with almost Pentecostal
power. In the afternoon it is esti-
mated that over one hundred and fifty
persons. kneeled down before God in
token of their having found peace
through the Saviour. They were of
all classes, ages and conditions, youths
and maidens, aged gray haired sires
and little children, ningling together
at the foot of the cross, as they were
wont to do at the feet of Jesus In the
days of his flesh. The dark-skinned
sons and daughters of Africa were
among the rest: strong men bowed
themselves before God, and the tears
of. convinced and awakened sinners
were poured out along with those of
aged Christians, and those rejoicing
in the feryor of new-found love.
1t was scene over which angels re-
joiced. On Sabbath evening, not less
than two hundred and fifty persons,
perhaps more, presented themselves
for prayers, filling almost the whole
middle block of pews in the large
church of the First Congregational
Society"
At the last accounts the work was
going on with great power. Many of
the students of the college were COM
ing under its influence.
