In accordance with previous arrangement,
Rev. e. l.. Walbridge, state evangelist,
came here the 10th, to conduct meetings
through the following week. After preach
ing here Sunday morning. he spent the
afternoon and evening at East Barre, leav-
ing the pastor to conduct the services in
the usual manner. Mr.. Walbridge preached
on Monday evening and on each succeed
ing afternoon and evening during the week,
excepting Saturday afternoon, closing his
labors Sunday. His sermons were pre-
sented in love and with meek earnestness,
and while they did not SAVIOR of the sensa-
tional, which stirs the emotions and creates
undue excitement yet they were evidently
I" in demonstration of the spirit, and with
power" The Spirit seemed to move the
preacher, and deep interest was manifest
in the meetings from the first. The congre-
cations continued to increase through the
week, reaching upwards of one hundred at
the closing service. Although the good
work seems but just begun, as yet, in the
visible quickening of the church and the
conversion of a few souls, yet we are sure
that much real lasting good will result.
