Revival at Gainesville, Ala.
GAINESVILLE, ALA, June lst, i

GAINESVILLE, ALA, June lst, 1862
Mr.. Editor,-After long and anxious season of
spiritual dearth God has been pleased to visit his
people here with most gracious blessing. The
Rev. w. j. Lowry, of Selma, commenced preach
ing for us on May 7th and continued until the 18th,
with marked and most cheering results. The
whole town seemed to be moved There were plain
indications of the presence and working Of God $
Spirit upon the hearts of the people. Unusual
faces were seen in the sanctuary the attendance
was large, and the interest deep and general. Even
the colored people Aocked to our church. and many
of them were impressed. And better than all,
there was large development of Christian unity
and brotherly love- All hearts seemed melted into
one. There was no excitement, but there was
intense interest and overfiowlng enjoyment 1t
was season long to be remembered with pleasure
and thankfulness to God. About twenty live per-
sons professed to have found the Saviour; while
many others received new light and comfort, and
many received impressions which we trust will
ripen into conversion Six PERSONS three young
ladies and three young men, united with our church
before the consusion of the services. others Will
join us, and some are joining the other churches.
Best of all, the signs OF Gods presence did not
end with the special services. The pastor kept up
the meeting for nearly week after Brother Lowry
was compelled to leave The people still aocked
to the house of God, and new cases of interest con
tinued to appear. And still does God show him
self gracious to US. The Holy Spirit is manifestly
still abiding and working in the midst of us. All
the Christians of tSakpwn now meet together for
prayer and there is much activity shown IN their
efforts to do good. We feel encouraged to believe
that new era has dawned upon us.
In our season of dearth, our hearts were cheered
and our faith encouraged by records similar to the
above, from other parts of the Church. We pub
sh this with the hope that it may do like good to
others. Especially do we desire to bear our testi
mony to Gods faithfulness in answering prayer
This has been our grand means with which we be
gan, and to the increased use of which we are led
by this precious revival. mot by might, nor BY
power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord. 5.
