Rev. \. ID. Davis closed the protracted
meeting at Union last week, at least SO
far as his personal labors are concerned.
The meeting was not as successful as i'll
former years. which he ascrbes to the
extreme heat that prevailed during the
meeting, the lack of interest on the part
of members. the hardness of sinners. and
the over-devotion the young folks paid to
each other. These combined causes all
have an adverse tendency to a spiritual
revival.
