| few days in the city Mr.. Raviin ia endeayor-
ing to secure the Free Baptist Church, corner Of
Looms aud Jackson streets, where be is now
officiating, for their use. The eYangelists are
described as plain, unassuming, earuest men,
who work in the Lords vineyard
without any thought OF pecuniary re-
ward. They trust in. Providence for their
support, and oven go SO fur as to distribute
gratuitously small book they have had printed,
which gives m account Of their wonderful
persecution and miraculous deliverance from
death and prison" IT all that this book con-
tains is true, Messra. Booze and Bye1s are the
most extraordinary men in the world. The nar-
rative ia equal in interest to and indeed some

the evangelists who had been separated
for = number Of years, were brought to-
gether BY the Providence Of God" in Van

OF the 30th of March they held . praye1-meet- |
