The Volcano lubricator. (Volcano, W. Va.) 1871-1879, 1873-11-25

OF the WOndSrlul revival WHICH HAS !o'
the past eight weeks been going on at
this place. We. of course, cannot tell
all about it, rs our pen is too feeble,
and our paper not large enough, but
we purpose to give sketch, in fact a
mere skeleton, leaving our readers i'm
agination to fill up. knowing that it
cannot be oyer-eStimated by the most
Sanguinc.
Eight weeks ago, the pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, Rev. E.
c. Wavman, conceived the idea that a
revival. under the auspices Of all the
christian denominations Of this place
could but work lasting good to, com
munity, and 4 series Of meetings were
begun at the NJ. E. church, and for
the past eight weeks God has been
maniiesting his powers, and one nun
dred and fifteen persons have professcd
to have been saved by the "Omnlpo-
tence of Grace" .....
For the past eight weeks this little
band OF christians have been attend
ing church two and three times day,
offering up their PRAYERS for the coed
of this town, and now it must be a
great pleasure tothcm to look At the
amount Of good it has been their good
fortune to accomplish BY the grace Of
God. We would say that nearly all
who have thus far acknowledged
Christ, are persons OF mature years,
and persons occupying all stations in
life. r....
About two weeks ago the Baptists
started 4 series Of meetings under the
charge Of Bros. Garter and Knapp,
and have thus far been blessed by the
conversion OF some twenty persons,
God be praised. The Baptist labor
under q great disadvantage innot hay
ing a church and pastor, beng obliged
to worship in the town hail, and Bro.
Knapp officiating for them whenever
he can. We understand that they will
soon commence building church.
We cannot close this article without
paving just II ibute to Bro. Way
man. He came INTO this community
about eight months ago, an humble,
itinerant Methodist preacher, known
personally to only few, but BY repu-
tation tc many. Alta glance, he took
in the situation, and with will went
to work in his Masters vincysrd. We
know he can but &c pleased with the
result. If-he could but hear the voice
Of the new born men. and women in
secret PRAYER; il he could only hear
the voice Of The happy women who
once. had drunken husbands now
MEN; if he could only hear them in
their secrct.prayers, swelling up toa
Throne of Grace, asking Gods choic
est bless ings to rest upon him; how
happy he would be. We say God
bless Bro. Warmau.
Bro. Wayman has for the past ten
days been assisted by the Rev. L. T.
Horton, recently of New Orleans, La.
To say that the Reverend gentleman
is one of the best, If not the best, pull
pit orator we have ever heard, would
only be telling what we believe
Young, active, with will 10 90 work,
and " ithal a vein OF feeling for the
poor, which crops out in all his preach
ing, Bro. Horton has cndearcd himself
TO the people OF the oil regions, and
wherever he goes, the prayers and
good wishes of this entire community
will follow him, and We say, God bless
the stranger brother. ..... .-
Bro. Garter, who has Seen officiating
at the Baptist church, is one Of the
brightest minds in Vest Virginia.
He endcars himself to all who are for
tunate enough TO make his acqua.nt,
ance. lie loves to work for Christ,
and God prospers his work. To the
! noble men and women who are the
rank and file, (thcy arc, thank God
too numerous to rame,) when they,
together with their pastors, arrive At
the Throne OF Grace, and hear their
Master say, well done, good and
faithful servant; thou hast been faith.
fuI over few things, will make thee
ruler over many things: Enter thou
into the joy OF thy Lord" The NJ
