SALINEvILLE, Or. M. F."
writes to the Putsbug Advocate. :,
Our meeting at Salineville closed
after eight weeks of work. 1t was
marked by profound convictions
and bright conversions. Fifty-six
united with the Church on proba-
ton. There have been between
sixty and seventy conversions. The
Primitive Methodist Church in this
place has abandoned its organize
ton, and about fifteen of them came
to US. Some fifteen have been re-
ceived by letter, making something
over so additions since Conference.
The revival affected the whole
Church and community deeply.
The church has been united and
built up in her most holy faith.

suits, Forty protested conversion
during the meetings, and there
were seven or eight seekers at the

and 4 expect to unite with the

into full membership on Sunday,
the Sth. Among the number was
our friend John R. Houston and
five of his family, Christians of all
denominations that were present
rejoiced and bid them "God speed"
on their Christian journey. 1t was
the happiest scene l ever witnessed
on any occasion; all rejoiced and
were made happy. Truly, the
power Of the Lord was with US.
