During the week, th5 meeting was
attended, especially at night, and the gCs@
pei was preached in a very simple, but
earnest manner by tZs pastor and the
Rev Mr.. Denny Of Amelia @. H.
Sinners heard the glad news with at
tenhon and to some hearts it carried home
a deep conviction of sin, from which they
were simply directed for Felief to the Sa
viour lifted upon the cross. AS many as
six fed for refuge to la, lid upon Him
for the remission of theu fstls and eternal
life, and were made happy and satisfied.
Others are now serious, and prayers are
being made in their behalf by Christian
men and women who attended and so
much enjoyed the services.
May we not hope then, since there is
virtue in prayer, that others will become
satisfied in due time, and,unite themselves
with the people of Gods OF the SIX who
became satisfied FIVE wishate Join the Pres
byterian church.
All Christians who $Ctehded the meet
ing felt that it was good for them to be
there; that they were revived, were COM
forted, and sent on tlTeiR way rejoicing.
We give God the glory i it all, and pray
that He may still pour Pt his grace more
bountifully upon the Gsnito field.
