STEUBENyILLE.

STEUBENvILLE, O., February 2S.-The
war on sin still keeps up under the leader,
ship of Major Cole and Rev, Jewett, and
not a night passes but from ten to fifteen
persons declare their allegiance to the cause
of Christ The centre of attraction for tho
people is the two evangelists, and seems 10
consist in the fact that they are not connect
ed with any denomination and do not make
any effort to have converts attach them
selves to any particular church, their ann
being to bring people within the fold with
out reference to the road they will pursue
after they get in. The attendance at the
meetings is large, the capacity OF the FIRST
PRESBYTERIAN Church being taxed nightly
TO accommodate the large crowd. At the
same time very interesting revival is
under wav Just across the street at the
Christian Church and quite number OF ac-
cessions to the church is the result. Twelve
persons were immersed Sunday evening,
and additional converts have been made
during the week. On the whole, this win
ter has been a season of prosperity for the
cause of the Lord, so far as Steubenvllle IS
concerned.
