and as the days went on they softened toward

and effected an entrance. Contrary to my ex

henceforth to walk in the footsteps Of their
Creator. The preacher (whose name do not

aged his people to 60 on with the good work
which they had so successfully begun. The
congregation prayed for the people of Utica,
at which place the revival meetings are being
held every night of this week. After many
beautiful hymns had been sung the meeting
adjourned. AS soon as it was over every
