LOCAL NEWS.

THE REVIVAL MEETINGS continue with in-
ERASED interest and attendance. At the noon
nr,ver meeting on Saturday, Mr.. Howard spoke
rsry impressively on the prophets vision OF
tho valley Of dry bones in the 37th chapter of
Ezekiel. At night he preached very simple
J,.c,,rse to children on Christ as ''the Rock, "
rradug us his text the conclusion Of the Sermon
on the Mount.
While the discourse was so simple that the
children understood 1t, it was iull of matter
amuently useful to show any Christian how to
live as he ought, and kept tue attention OF the
children and the whole audience to the very
close.
Saturday about Fifty attended, aud had the way
to be saved explained to them In aquiet talk,
followed by prayer With them. A number of
them seemed to be really Impressed with the
truth
Sunday school Of the Second Presbyterian
about twenty-five OF the children. and a num-
berof them seem to be believing in Jesus.
The sermons to adults began at the Second
Presbyterian Church last night with discourse
from lsl TIM, [. Is; This is faithful saying
aud worthy of all acceptstion that Christ Jesus
came 10 the world to save sinners; of whom |
au chief" This discourse clearly demonstrate
ed that what is commonly called eloquence is
not necessary to command the attention OF an
audience. Never did We witness closer attention
to speaker to the very last word. It was the
power of profound, alimportant truth, spoken
10 the simplest language, but with the charm
otlnteusc earnestness and winning tenderness
At the close number stood up to express
their interest and their desire for the prayers OF
Christians lie their behalf. Being invited to re-
main for conversation after the congregation was
dismissed, about fifty did remain, and we're
couversed with, the object being to press upon
each person the immediate acceptance OF the
Saviour and His great Salvation.
Ii is striking characteristic Of Mr.. Howard s
services, that be seems to expect souls to be
saved by every discourse, apd thus be seeks inn
medlatey after the discourse to gather up the
fruits His method in this is entirely like that
used with such wonderful success by Moody and
Saukey in England.
1t is manifest that these services have already
produced, by the blessing of God, profound
impression on the community. OF course, when
the Lord is thus giving testimony to the word
"f His grace, the devil is correspondiugly active.
Iii, old cries come upin new form, These men
are drunk with new wine;" ''These meu are
turning the world upside down." Mi.
Howard warned sinners of this in his service last
night, and gave salutary hint also to real and
to merely protesting christians 10 the quiet re-
mark, that he had heard from some OF them, in
regard to these revival meetings, of criticisms
and objections with which no doubt the devil is
exceedingly we'll pleased.
