THE REVIVAL.

The meeting a, the Baptist church.
In the face Of unfayorable weather, has
been the means OF many conversions
and a general awakening Of religious
interest and real in the church AMI the
community, which will bear fruit long
after the services have closed.
DR.. Lamkin's text last night was from
Gen. 2i:lo; "And God opened her eyes
aud she saw a we'll Of water. " The sermon
described the departure Of Hager, the
bondwoman, and her son, lshmael,
from the house Of Abraham, their weary
journey through the desert, the illness
OF the son, the despair Of the mother,
and the finding Of the well Of waier-God
In his mercy having sent relief. Three
spiritual facts were beautifully drawn
from the experiences Of lIager First,
the soul lost IA the wilderness Of sim
second, realization aud the seeking Of
deliyeranoe; third, the soul finding re-
lief through divine agency. The three
points were strongly presented, and the
discourse closed with a ieryent appeal
10 the sinner 10 come and drink Of the
fountain Of immortal youth and live
forever.
