Unisn Meeting i'm Plymouth.

A christian convention called by indi-
viduals Of different Observation-Disclosures
being no Young Mems Christian As-ocia-
ton in town-was held in the meeting
house at Plymouth Notch, December 10Th
and 10th. Such meeting was held about
two years ago-a large delegation from
the Ludlow Association attending-and
its good influence is felt even yet, and a
second call met hearty response.
The forenoon of the first day WAS en-
tirely devoted to prayer, led by Rev. Mr..
Baldwin of Plymouth. In the afternoon
an organization was effected by the
choice Of A. F. Sherman of Ludlow,
President; Rev. T. A. Stevens Of Ply
mouth, Vice President and George II.
Smith, teacher at the Notch, Secretary
The discussion of the question How
can bring more souls to Christ p was
opened by Rev. Mr.. IIovett of Proctors-
vile, and continued by Rev. Messrs.
Fuller, Stevens, Baldwin and other breth-
rem and sisters in spirited manner for
an hour. Another ho,lr was filled by
prayer. and remarks. In the evening
Rev. Mr.. Stevens introduced ths discus
sion Of the question SLOW can believe
in Christ Z" After an hour of discus
sion the remainder of the evening was
spent in hearing and answering requests
for prayer, and general devotion. Re-
quests were also made for friends or rela-
tives.
The exercises Of the econd day began
with prayer meeting conducted by Bro
Chas- Parker of Ludlow, and the remain
der Of the forenoon was occupied by a
sermon by Rev. Mr.. Lovett. Text--Ma.
lachi iii, 8. The first hoIr of the after.
noon was devoted to prayer under the
lead Of Bro John Riggs of Ludlow. fol-
lowing which WAS serrlon from Rev.
Mr.. Fuller. Text-John iii, IA, IS; and
the remainder of the afternoon was spent
in prayer, with requests freely offered.
As the record indicates the meeting
was emphatically q prayer meeting. The
interest increased continually from the
beginning and the manifestation of the
Divine presence WAS unequivocal. Three
persons confessed hope. The house
was well filled, especially the second day.
and the hospitality of the neighborins
people was most generous without regard
to religious belief. Persons have re-
marked that it was the best meeting they
ever attended, and tho hope is che ri.hed
that this may prove in some degree like
that prayer meeting in the upper room
before the day u Psntecost.

While none, save Boston Dailies, can
