A CORES pondent writes that Sunday was day
that will long be remembered by the people of
Sprngyale and vicinity. The work of the Lord
in the place has indeed been glorious, but Sunday
was a ga.hering-in day. There was union 5ap-
tism; the people gathering by the side OF the
silyery steam, Mousam river, at the time OF the
usual no. li1g service. The shores upon either
side were blackencd by the crowding multitudes.
The pastors of the two churches were permitted
to bury with Christ in baptism, ffty-two happy
converts, from the woman Of three score and ten,
or more down to the child of nine. The pres
cuce of f. Z. Shaw, c. NJ. Bailey, and +. w.
McKenney, added interest to the occasion, who
had been with others directly interested IN the
salvation of many who received the ordinance.
There were present also Rev, s. Estes OF Sanford
corner. and NJ l.. Stevens of Portland. The SER
vices in the afternoon consisted of addresses by
the pastors and brothers present, receiving those
who had been baptised, with others, into the
church, and the administration of the Lords
supper. Thirty one were added to the Baptist
church. In the evening there was union meet
ing, led by the Christian Association brethren,
and it was feast of fat things indeed. Almost
every convert testified for Jesus. with many others,
all saying it was the happiest day they ever saw.
Even Z. NJ. Bailey said it was the happiest day he
ever saw, which was great deal for him to say.
