meeting daily. The revival has been
principally under the charge OF Elder
1ohn Green, of Port Jeryis, n. T., ana
George w. Higgins, OF Goshen The
Iottnr divine recently gave discourse
on the subject of HELL and he made
the following reference to Colonel IN
gersoll: "My deah hearers, dar am
many inhiddels who am preach'n gin
the Lord Almighty an 'mong dc res Is
Bob Ingersoll, he pronounced the
name with great scorn. Now my
deah breddern, when Bob's wife comes
fur to die, an when he STAINS weePin
over her coilin-ah; an is sheaSl1
briny tears-ah, on de coifin-1a-a1
IshoIts of 70 de Lord from Il colored
woman, who was sitting on the lroh'
seat) yea, on dc coiiin-lld-ah; "on
breddern, den de sun will look to MN,
like AS il it was made of ac'cloth, an
he will blieve dat de sun am sarkene"-
an and dat de stars am shot nom dere
sockets nh; an dat de Lord which lays
de forkin' lightin' an makes de thunder
to roll in its concaVo-ah, am sot his lace
apin him, an den he will b'lieve dat
Jar am place of 'ternal punishment
sich as we read of way back into The
prophets-ah.
6f course the hat was passed around
frequently, and upon one OCCASION
when GLIDER Green thought that the
hearers were not contributing rs lhor-
ally as they should have done, he sprang
to his feet and exclaimed: Il wish to
,drass dis we're dyin' congregation what $
sittin here befo' me, an to say TO ue
breddern what's passin' de collectlh
plate for to wait some time, as 1t some
times takes the common 8o0o "ilile
fer to git down inter their pockets an
it sometimes takes the ladies goou
while, too, for they most all OF en-
wear them in their oyersEirts, which am
de libery of do debbil, an it takes 'em
n GOOD whilefer to git into their pock-
cts, an as said in the onset, brediern,
be liberal We who'd be borned agln IN
de sunny realms of dliverance on de
banks of t'other side of Jordan.
In speaking of the "backsliders" III
the church. Mr.. Higgins made a sage
remark. He said; Il tells 20, pred
dern, dat dem as b'lieves in de Cavalry
Christ as wore on his head do Gooldlng
crown wild 70 thorns in it an was
smoted in de side wild spear and was
erected on de cross of hemlock and who
busted de cords of de se-pulcher, Will
not backslide, and l have but one mo
word to say to dis dyin congregation
and dat is, dat dem as backslides has
never foreslid."
Brother Eldredge, who expects 10
become clergyman, but who mas NOT
vet received orders" spoke at length
upon the beauty of heaven, and closed
his dissertation with; "And now, tell
Won. breddern and sistern, that after
de sun has sot to rise no mo- in de east,
err horiza' an when de moon gets RED
as dragging's blood-ah, an when de
day of iugment comes suddenly-ah, den
de gates OF heaven shall be unbarred-ah,
yea even de gates of pearl what on de
Streets of gold an brass-ah, shall De
open-ah, and de saints OF glory snail
parade up de front streets OF henyen-ah,,
to de fountain of grace-ah, and de Lord
shall rise up from off his great frone-an
an shake EN- by de landau, an will
saw to EN-, Welcome, welcome to heav-
en-, for am de Lord of Jacob and
David. ven of Noah Shem, Ham and
Japet-ah 49,.
What could be more vivid than this
picture? But to recount the numerous
singular speeches would occupy many
columns, so will have to omit broth
er Scott's" prayer, in which he refers
to ''Beecher's misdominion, and tells
how people "wants to go a-sailing up to
the eternal realms of heaving on beds OF
fowery ease. =,
I have succeeded in getting for the
Times the words of one Of their most
popular hymns. 1t is set to tune
very much resembling the we'll known
college air, o-ca-che-lunk- la-ly,
and is entitled: ''No rebukin. ;"
/ came up out OF Egypt,
Fer to camp upon this gr-ound.
When Gabriel blows his trun-lIt
The Holy Ghost came down.
No rebukn in de churches,
HallemiahI
Praise ye de Lord.
On, when 7 was a sinner man,
] loved my ways 50 well
That when come to find out
| was almost in hell.
CHoRus-No rebukn,' etc.
Go read the third of Matthew,
Go read it through and through,
1t is a guide to Christians
And tells them what to Ito.
CHORUs-NO rcbukln., etc.
| sumo say that John the Baptist
Was nothing but a jew,
But tile Holy Bible tells rs
That John was preacher, too
CHORUs--No rebakin,' etc
