Dear SPIRIT: We are now in the sixth
week of the revival at Kabletoxn. 1t has
been one Of marked interest and deep solem
nifty. The order, throughout the entze meet
ing has been unusually good. This, OF course,
is very gratifying to all concerned in the pro-
motion of Gods cause, and the advance of
His Kingdom ia this comm0nity.
The Presiding Elder, DIR. Register, was
with US on last Thursday night, and preached,
with his usual power, to a denseiy crowded
house. After the regular services, an dd-
'iition of So members was made to the church.
The same number was added few weeks ago,
and others have gwen their names to be united
at the earliest convenience. The meeting is
still in progress. Several conversions on last
night, and the people of this vicioity realize
this as glorious season, aud as 'tine of re-
freshing coming from the presence of the
Lord"
Let praises and thanksgiving be offered
unto God for His wonderful works to the peo-
pie. Yours, .'kAPpA."
