PECULIAR RELIGIOUS SECT.

A peculiar religious craze, in which
weeping, wailing, wringing of hands
and prayerful vigils in the woods
play leading part, has broken out
amoung the colored people of Berea,
Madison county, Kentucky. 1t seems
to be the outgrowth of revival
held about month ago by female
evangelist named Brooks. In addi-
ton to her evangelistic powers, she
claimed to be able to heal divers
diseases, cast out devils, give sight
to the blind, and make the deaf hear,
all of which she undertook to accom-
plish by the simple act of laying her
hands on the afflicted patients. She
stayed there for week, preaching
nightly to hundreds, who fiocked to
hear her and touch the hem of her
garments. Contrition for their sins
seem to have possessed the colored
community completely, and ever
since the revival they have been
holding vigils in the woods. A gem
tleman who came upon one of these
forest "wakee," says he found some
weeping, some praying aloud, some
singing, and ali going through a
variety of incantations that would
have made the witches in "Macbeth"
green with envy. Even the children
take part in these lamentations,
which often continue until the par
ticipants fall from sheer exhaustion.
