THE REVIVAL.

Last night was by far the most interesting
meeting yet held. The congregation COM
pletely flied not only the audience room,
but both lecture rooms as we'll. Maj. Penn
delivered a characteristic discourse, holding
the undived attention of the audience from
first to last. He deals in no "new theology"
nor late translations. He breaches the de-
pravity Of the human heart, the certainty of
death, coming judgment, an everlasting
hell of infinite misery and an eternal heaven
of infinite happiness. He appeals to
the reason and the judgment and
tells no affecting death-bed stories. He
speaks with the earnestness Of an advocate
who knows that his cause is just. He does
not preach; he argues; he deals out the un-
vanished statements of scripture in regard
TO mans sinfulncss, Gods holiness, earth,
heaven, hell. He says just what he means
and believes with absolute fearlessness, and
a boldness of manner and speech which re-
minds one of the apostles Of old. At the
close Of the sermon last night upon the
"Utter foolishness of the man who
barriers away heaven for mere
chance of a few years Of lustful enjoyment
on this earth"
A large number of penitents went forward
and gave the evangelist their hand in token
of their desire to be saved. Two-thirds of
the congregation last night were men, many
Of them men who had not heard sermon
for years. Services this afternoon at $50,
and to-nigh: at 7:30.
On Sunday morning at II o'clock Major
Penn will preach upon the Divinity of
Christ" All persons at all skeptical are
earnestly invited to attend.
