Handsome Fortune In One Deal.

The Tarboro Southerner says that in
1874 Judge Phillips, of that town, pur-
chased for $25 900 some land near
Sorfolk. A few years ago he: sold a
portion OF it fo- $50 900, and now he
sells the balance for $4,000. This
gives a profit of $l25,O00. The inter
est on the Investment for the twenty
Eve years and the commissions paid Tor
ceiling the property may be said to re
luce the net profit to 500 000--a very
comfortable fortune, all due to the wis
lem and fore sight of the wise and sue
| cessful Judge.

Revival in the Methodist Church.

March the 18th we began series OF
meetings. which we expected to be In
strumental in producing revival OF
religion, and we were not disappointed.
March the 18th Rev. E. G. Glenn, OF
Raleigh, N. c., arrived. His arrival
vas hailed with delight by the Meth
odists of Scotland Neck, and his de-
par,ure regretted by all the Christian
workers, irrespective of denomination.
He preached fifteen sermons aRd con-
aucted a plumber OF Bible readings
and prayer meetings. His sermons
were PLAIN, yet forcible presentations
Of Bible truths. The simplicity OF his
sermons adapted them to all classes OF
hearers. His words carried toroe With
them. Every word seemed to be &C
companied with the power OF the Holy
Ghost. He presented great funda-
mental truths of the Bible, VIZ: Re-
eneration-conaitions OF regeneration,
&C., with such plsinness of speech and
power OF the Holy Spirit, that all I'M
derstood and were powerfully wrought
upon. His sermons on "Prepare to
meet thy God"-"But he was
Laper''-were used by God in the con-
viction and conversions OF large
number of persons. 1t was not mere
wave of animal excitement. No one
who attended the services regularly
will make any such statament. Sew
eral persons who have lived IN town
for more than 35 years, some over 40
years, have said they never knew such
a spiritual awakening in Scotland
Neck. It was topic OF conversation
in the homes, on the streets and in
the stores.
Numbers of Christian lay workers
from the sister churches we're fully
alive to the great necessity OF work
, mo to save immortal souls, and dld
, coed work along that line. Some WHO
we're members OF the different churches
in town said they were converted GU
} ring the meeting. If the nesting did
no other good than what 1t did to the
members of the churches, viz: IN the
conversion, the retaining OF a large
! number, the building up OF large
nar cent. in the faith, it was a mos
glorious success.
