Gospel, because the word of God and

Workers, because Of the amount and kind
of work they do. Jan. 2, 1875, they
commenced to hold meetings, mostly on
the east side of the mountain. They
have held some seventy four, averaging
over three days each. The result has
been the outpouring Of Gods spirit. He
has helped their labors a%bundantly. Sin
ners have been converted, the churches
built up and the pastors encouraged.
From many Of these meetings the revival
spirit spread to other and adjoining towns.
Take St. Johnsbury as the most conspic.
uous, for example. From this town, the
spirit and awakening has spread to all
the towns around. Since February last
delegations have gone forth every week
from this town to other towns, for a two
or three days meeting. God most signal.

visited sending in a request for help.
