A Refseshing Revival at Moriah

A very precious meeting closed
at Moriah last Wednesday aight,
having continued nearly two weeks.
The church was greatly revived
and up to the close of the meeting
we had known of about IA CONVEX
sions. We expect to hear of others
who will attribute their conviction
and conversion to this meeting. 1t
was encouraging to the munster s
heart to see the Church mani
fest such commenable zeal
in the cause of Christ. A bet
ter working spirit and a more
praiseworthy interest in the saliva
ton of souls are seldom exhibited.
The Elders and members gave eff
cient help. There were many busy
workers all about the altar and all
through the congregation. And
the work was not confined to the
church house, but all through the
community personal efforts were
made with success. The influence
OF the meeting was felt in the con-
viction and conversion of souls at
their. homes. 1t was truly a good
time-a time of refreshing from the
presence of the Lord-a time of re-
jolcing-a time to be long and de
lightfully cherished in memory.
On the I'd Sabbath of the meeting
there were s accessions to the
Church-boys, girls and young la
dies-the promise, hope and pride
of the community and the Church.
Others are expected to JOIN soon.
The Christian workers feel that
they have already been richly re-
warded for their labors. They
were made to rejoice with exceed
ing great joy when they saw their
dear young friends coming to the
Savior. The sight of one precious
little girl rejoicing in Savior's love
was enough to move the hearts Of
of all the people who witnessed It
ali! it was enough to move an
angels heart. She looked so much
like "little angel herself. The
father and mother no doubt feel
amply rewarded for their earnest
ness and faithfulness in the Mas
ter's cause, and feel encouraged to
go forward and train their precious
boy for noble work in the vineyard
of our Lord. Indeed we all feel en-
couraged to continue our labors for
the salvation of the sons and
wives and husbands,
brothers and sisters in this vicinity.
May God more abundatly bless us.
