"A long-haired Advent (Millerite)
preacher, named Irish, occupied the pulpit
Of the NJ. Z. church one night last week.
A large audience assembled to hear him.
| The reverend gentleman uttered some start
across the river at St. Louis would fall in
1877, Just after "a certain person" had
passed over it.-Osage CTOnioe.
An exchange says that the religion
| which is TO save the world will pay its
| debts, and not shield rascals from the
| righteous Indignation Of an outraged pub
| lie opinion because they may give freely OF
their ill-gotten money TO the support OF the
ministry.
The Friends found their house on the
| east side Of town too small to accommo-
date the congregations which have been
| augmenting constantly from the beginning
| OF their meetings, several weeks ago, and
have obtained the use OF Grange Hall,
where they have religious services nearly
| every afternoon and evening. The hall IL
crowded every night, and an Interesting
revival is in prcgress.-EmpOriaL Ledger.
-Revivalist Hammond took as .elp-
er in evangelism a young man from Lam
| caster, Pa, named William Moore-an elO-
quent exhorter, and apparently pieus.
Moore wanted new suit of clothes 10
preach in, and obtained them on a forged
order. Brother Hammond paid the order,
and forgave the scamp; but other slns
came to light, and Moore is now in jail.
A series of meetings have been in pro-
gress at the Congregational Church since
week before last. Rev. L. W. Jones, Of
North Topeka, has been assisting in the
meetings since last week, preachin to a
crowded house every evening. Rev. Mr..
Scribner, of St Mary's came up last Tues
day to aid in the good work. There is a
deep interest manifested in the meetings,
and we hope ere they close that great good
may be done.-LouisriUe Reporter.
In what is known as the West Wichita
charge, filed by the Rev. J. +. LESLEY,
there are two revivals in progress, one at
the Cartwright school house and the other
At the Coleman school house. The meet
ings are represented "a being very interest
ing, the heads of families and leading men
taking part At the Coleman school house
twenty-five have Joined the church, and at
Cartwright's twenty, making an accession
Of forty-two in all.-W Wichita Eagle.
The progress of the religious revival
work alluded to heretofore by us, still
moves on in this city, gathering in spirit
and increasing in volume. Hundreds on
last Sabbath evening, We are informed,
went away from the doors OF the two
churches, unable TO gain an admittance.
With an untiring zeal and a faith that
wavers not, the christian element, lead on
by the ministers, works unfalteringly.-

The past week of the great revival has
perhaps been the most interesting and en-
couraging of any week since the meeting be-
gun. The fearss that were entertained, by
many, that division OF the force5-that is,
each congregation going to their own church
o carry on the meeting-would be detrimen-
tai, has not been realized on the contrary
the interest has increased daily at each
church; grand results are being accom-
plished, and decisive victories gained over
the common enemy, by each division Of the
Great Captains forces. The converts are as
a class among the best OF our citizens many
of them being leading business men in the
city, and influential farmers in the neigh
borhood, and if the revival should stop now,
the strength and membership in each OF the
churches named would be nearly doubled.
The total number converted and reclaimed
is about 200-HoitOn Recorder.
