 Under the caption s'The Great Revival, ' the Meriden Republican thus speaks of the close of the eighth week of the work of Thomas Harrison, the boy preacher, in that city: The young converts meeting last evening was the largest in attendance yet held, and equal in interest to any previous meeting. Among the converts who spoke of having an experience of salvation during the day just passed, was man nearly or quite sixty years of age who lives in neighboring town. The previous night he was at the all tar of prayer, and on Thursday morning was glad to go among his friends confessing the sins of his former life and protesting his dis cipleship to Christ A large number of new voices were heard in prayer and praise. In the large meeting MT. Harrison gave out an important notice concerning tickets for per sons who are anxious to get in on Sunday prayer. He will have sole charge of these tickets, and will give them out with directions Friday night and on Sunday morning and afternoon. As this is a matter of great interest and conven- fence to many it will be more fully explained this evening. He announced also that not only would probationers be received on Sun- day next, but that baptism would also be ad- ministered at the same hour in the afternoon. A brief exhortation was followed by most interesting altar service. A large number came forward at once in response to the invi tation, and at the close of the meeting the praying people pledged themselves to re- neWed eHor5 to carry the glad tldlngs of salvation to those who had not yet received the message. In the five nights just passed, seventy-two have given their names to the pastor at the altar, and among these some of the most remarkable conversions have occurred. It seems as if the work took fresh start on last Sunday and has been going forward with wonderful results since. About 9 o'clock Thursday night the pastor recorded the five hundredth name on his record To this must be added as-many as thirty Gas nearly as can be esti- mated) who had come and gone from the altar before he could take. their names Thus closes the eighth week of this great series of meetings, now apparently no nearer their conclusion than when they first began. Looking at the unprecedented re- suits hitherto, the prospects for the future are most inspiring, and who does not wish and pray that the work may go on increas- ingly?
