Spiritual Refreshing in Pr We have had
most interesting and pros, meeting of four
weeks continuance The .ple of God have
been revived and strengthened most remarkably.
Crowds have attended during the whole time, and
the interest is still increasing and becoming more
general. The whole community nearly seems per.
vaded with deep religious interest.
This is a union meeting of the evangelical de-
nominations of our place; the Methodist, BAPTIST
and Presbyterian have united, and the services
have been conducted in their respective houses of
worship The most pleasant feelings and hearty
cooperation have been manifested during the meet
ings. The last objection of sinners has been an.

Pfotestants are one in the doctrine Of salvation by
grace and when heartily united can move whole
community, by the help of God We cannot tell
how long this meeting may yet continue, but we
hope and believe that the good effects and blessed
results of it will be felt and re- ed in for years
to come.
