The spirit of the revival services which

hnIdinr Eh4 -1v M. AL--~auI
preached a grand and heartfelt sermon
from the text, Sand Enoch walked with
God" After preaching they are Ia the
habit of holding a class meeting. but to
change the order somewhat, and owing
to the good feeling which then seemed to
be prevailing, Mr.. Sheppard thought it a
good idea to have an altar service and
accordingly gave the invitation. At once
the church seemed to rise in a body, both
saint and sinner, and rush to the altar,
and we are told the church was soon
made to ring with their shouts and
praises. Several were converted, and such
interest was shown hat it was deemed
wise to continue the meeting in the even.
ing. This service was led by Mr.. Pam
coast and more were converted, also several
penitents were at the altar, and th Q
