Signs Promise IL Great Revival.
PARKERsBURG, Dec. Is, 1877.
And so we have at last welcomed TO
our city the great revIvslist Z. Psyson
Hammond, who to-day arrived from
Yonkers, N. Y O., and will to night as per
appointment, introduce his work here,
by addressing a meeting to which all the
Christians of the city have been specially
invited. The meetings will be held In
the new Baptist Church as beng
the most commodious and suits-
bic, and the general expectation
seems to be that Psrkersburg is
on the eve of a sensation such as she has
never had before. Indeed the Clrcum-
stances seem to be most favorable for q
successful revival. All the elements of
Christian work and influences have for
months been uniting, hsrmoniz'ng and
organizing Tor this effort, and l am sure
| never heard of a community wherein
all the different ministers aud Christian
denominations worked more hsrmoni-
ously than here. Methodists south snd
Methodi.ts ncrth, United Breth-
ren, Bsptlsts, Presbyterisns and
sll, work, preach and pray in each others
churches INTERCHANGEABLE rs brethren
indeed. This certsinly promises much.
Union daily meetings were first held
for several weeks, in view of this
promised visi: OF Mr.. Hammond, and
then upon his being detained two weeks
longer than expected at Ionkers, our
people employed the time, holding
nigh ly meetings at which the pastors
preached in turn-so that there has been
much blowing and sowing, and there
seems to be great confidence among the
Christian people, and q general looking
forward for great harvest gathering of
souls. OF the meetings and their progress
l purpose telling you more anon. In
the meantime our whole city Is ST xious
and expectsnt and for grest improve
ment in our morals at least, rybody
should withhold unjust criticism, and for
the best HOPE.
