Last week the Methodist church or
ganizrd praying bands, whose practical Use
vii be not only to deepen the influence, by
forming minor centers in the church, BAT
to spread outside of the church influence,
the spirit of grace which is working 81
powerfully within the fold. 1t will be a
kind Of missionary labor in the intervals OF

"A few weeks since Rev. L. L. Holden
closed his pastoral labors with the Episco-

that time has done much to build it up and
increase Its membership. He goes to Inde-
pendence in obedience to a call from the
people of that vigorous young city, and
will remove his family there in the spring.

fact We are losing one Of the earnest, con.
scientious ministers of the gospel, and COM
mend him to his new field Of labor, hoping
his efforts may be blessed with an abundant
harvest--[B Burlington Patriot

most equal to Moody and Sankey. This
revival exceeds anything of the kind that
ever occurred in this county, and We trust
its effects may be productive of lasting
