AT the revival meetings of the Boy
Preacher" the Presbyterian ministers Rev.
DIR. Hsmphill, of this city, aud Rev. DR..
Sprecher, OF Olkland-is is said, went in
with the crowd, the other evening, to satisfy
their curiosity with regard to the juvenile
evangelist, who seemed to be drawing such
numbers to hear him. The lively and sensa-
tional service was something so radically
different, not only from the solemn and deco
rous style Of Presbyterian revival meeting,
but so much mere pronounced. even in the
way of Methodist fervor and FIRE, than they
had ever seen before, that they were for
awhile much interested and very attentive.
Among other things, they had been surprised
at tbs unerring sagacity with which Mr..
Harrison pointed out the sinners in the con-
gregation, and urged them to come forward
aud embrace their last chance, and the alac-
rity with which, in most cases, the sinners
thus designated came down at once, apparent
" deerning resistance useless. When the ser
vice was little more than half through, our
D. D e, thinking they had seen it all, and
deeming it Improbable, perhaps. to remain
longer, took their hats and started to go out,
a, thug somewhat difficult TO accomplish on
account of the crowded state of the church.
They had got but a little way when, TO their
establishment, they heard themselves ad-
dressed thus: "There are two more sinners
who are starting to go before they have got
salvation. Hold on, there; come right up to
the altar and have your sins, which are many,
forgiven before leaving !" Some, who recog-
nized them, were much amused with the We
locisy with which the ciergymen ducked their
heads and made their way out, potwithstand-
ing the assurance of the juvenile evangelist
that this might be their last chance for saliva
ton, and that there was opportunity now
even for such sinners as they to obtain for
giveness, il they would but repent of their
sins and forsake them.
