Revival.


The Students lnterested-The Maryyille
Revival.
The Opera House was again crowded
last night by anxious listeners to the
Word of God, as expounded by Rev. J. Fl.
McNeily in an earnest, fervent manner,
and when the invitation was given for en-
quirers to come forward, every seat reserv-
ed was soon occupied, and fully as many
as on the previous night, showed their de-
sire for salvation, while quite number
were happily converted to God. The meets
ing is a union meeting, according to the
strictest sense of the word, for nearly ev-
cry church in the city was well represent
ed. Services for to-day were announced
to be the same as heretofore, with the e1-
ception of the enquiry meeting in the af-
ternoon, which will only last one hour,
hereafter-from two to three O'Clock.
Great benefit is to be derived by the seek
er at these meetings.
COLLEGE CHAPEL.
The services at the College Chapel yes
terday evening, at four o'clock were very
interesting. Quite number remained for
religious conversation with the pastors,
feeling anxious about their souls salvation.
The request being made for all who had
found Christ to arise to their feet, between
fifteen and twenty of the students rose.
and with bright and beaming faces testified
that the Prince of Peace reigned within
their hearts. Deep interest is being taken
by the students in the services, and great
good Is expected to be derived by them du-
ring the present series of meetings.
BROAD STREET REyIvAL.
Rev. Carol Long, P. E., preached last
SnxH,% low
attendance. About the. same number of
persons forward to be prayed for. There
were several conversions. Prayer meeting
this morning at $50 and preaching at 2 P.
NJ. The meeting has continued more than
four weeks and the brethren need help in
the way of singing. We hope all that can
will render their assistance. Rev. George
D. French and his people are faithful
workers and have no idea of surrendering
to the enemy, We hope the meeting may
continue until all the sinners who attend
the church may become active members of
it.
REVIVAL Al MARYyILLE. - ea
The revival still carries everything be-
fore it. The church is crowded every
night, and not even standing room left,
while deep interest is manifested
throughout the entire community. Mourn
ers crowd around the altar, while many
are unable to get to the front seats for want
OF room. Inc stouteSt hearts are made
to yield and the stiffest necks to bow to the
God of Heaven. Religion is the theme of
discourse, the topic of conversation and
the source of meditation everywhere.
Ga Sabbath, services were held in the
several churches with large audiences.
Opportunities were given converts to at
tach themselves to the church by the
II. E. Church. South, the Southern
Presbyterian and by New Providence
(Presbyterian) churches, which resulted
in the addition of four to the first and
seven to each of the two latter churches.
Many have been converted who will at
tach themselves to other branches or de-
sire time to consider the matter Of church
preference.
In the afternoon q union communion,
under the Methodist ritual, was held in
the Southern Methodist Church, which
was largely attended and participated in
by Christians who observe the ordinance,
ana whose church connection allow them
that privilege.
Prayer meetings are held i'll the after
noon and preaching, praying and conver5-
ing with the mourning at night. w.
