REMsDA iRLE RELIGIOUS AWAKENING ALL
OygR THE COUNTRY.

The reports from our correspondents and the
. accounts contained 10 our religious exchange
papers from different sections Of the country
show that the revival in religious feeling which
was beginning to exhibit itself some weeks ago
has continued to extend with the happiest indica.
tions Of becoming permanent and precious
movement. This late religious interest began
with the week Of prayer, and the work has been
carried on by continuing the uDien tetings where
1t originated In the reports OF one hundred OF the
revlvns estimates of the conyel sicns are made and
amount to more than four thousand. of whom
1900 have already united with the Church. These
tiiings come from twenty.three different States.
In Indiana there have been thrty-one revivais, in
Iowa twenty-three, in Illinois twenty, in Michigan
nineteen, in Pennsylvania seventeen, and in both
New York and New Jersey fourteen. In Philadcl-
PHI a, with less excitement and probably with
more effect than in the days Of the great revival
AT Jaynr's Hall, general revival of religion is in
progress, and churches of every name are feeling
the blessed influence" in brooklyn, also, the
rel 6 Gus interest is general. At one church l56
conversions have t,ken place, and at another
several entire families have been led to profess
their faith in Christ. The third all day prayer
meeting was recently held in Cincinnati aud the
interest was we'll sustained to tn close. At West
erly, X. l., powerful revival is in progress. The
Episcopal as wei a other churches share in the
blessing. At Newington. Conn. Christians of all
names are united in revival where already more
than one hundred are inquiriag the way OF life
F, eighty have been converted. In this State, at
Port Jackson, among the Reformed, Presbyterian
and Methodist societies, two hundred conversions
are reported, and at Waverley the labors OF de-
voted Presbyterian elder. who has for years main
tanned Sabbath school little out of the village,
a profound religious interest is felt. Fifty have
been hopefully converted, and the work is carried
without ministerial aid by the happy co-opera-
ton OF three laymen, representing the Presby-
terian, Baptist and Methodist Churches: In the
State of Iowa the religious interest is very gene
raj. The Dubuque Times, I'd inst, says:-Onr ex-
pho uo< rnla Hall Iruxa IL,
Cedar Rapids, Anamoss, Manchester, Waverley,
Marion, Clinton, Davenport, Muscatne, Burling-
ton, keokuk and number OF other towns in this
State give accounts of extensive revivals of re-
ligion going on in these places. At Sedalia, NO.,
the converted embrace Catholics, Jews, infdels,
Germans and Americana. The work seems only
beginning. Rev. John Monteith. Jr., of st. Louis.
has greatly aided the pastor Rev. J. NJ. Bowers.
In Hagerstown, Ind, fifty have been added to the
different churches.
In Troy, y. they are enjoying the visitation
held, at last accounts. In Rev. H. W. Ballantine's .
church in Marietta, Ohio. In Ripley, in the same
State, there was SO much religious interest at the
close of the week of PRAYER that the daily meet
added to the Rev. d. E. Perce's church since tho
commencement Of tho new year. The revival in
Delphi, Ind, has been more extensive than any
experienced tneresfer twenty years Already some
forty have been received into the Rev. Mr.. Wal
lace's church, twenty into the Rev. Mr.. Wright's
90. So, and some fifteen into the Methodist
church. The Buffalo Advocate learns that deep
religious feeling exists on Grand Island. People
came five or six miles TO attend the meetings at
Shunwater, and a. many as twenty-five had at one
time manifested desire for change OF heart.
Elsewhere, the same paper remarks, that "it now
looks as If the present might prove the great reyi-
val year OF the district and we should not be
prised If the additions to the churches should ex-
ceed anything ever before known"
We give additional accounts Of this remarkable
religions revival under their regular denomna-
tional heads, and regret that our space forhids
giving them more in detail.
