Objectionable peculsrities that did not at times
present the truth in some Questionable form, and
no one, presume, expected Mr.. H. to prove an
exception to the universal experience. do not
know the gentleman, have never spoken TO him,
but have attended some Of his meetings, and
sm satisfied no Christian can go and join In the
work and not realize the presence Of Gods spirit.
The Protestant Churches Of this city have for
some time past been praying for the outpouring
Of Gods spirit-a revival Of religion among us.
God, in answer to these prayers, is stirring the
hearts OF the people. A revival is in progress
among us, and yet apparently, because It does
not come In the form expected, some Christians
and even Christian ministers look coldly on. DO
they not stand somewhat in the position of John.
as recorded BY Luke, ix:i9, so, who seeing o man
performing miracles in the name OF the Saviour
In what he considered an unauthorized or irregu-
lar manner, farbade him, but the Master said
