REVIVAL AT
WESLEY CHURCH
Superintendent Morgan Writes
That Dover Church is En-
iOyinG Great UpIift

The Rev. S. NJ Morgan. superinten-
dent Of the Dover district of the Will
mington Methodist Episcopal Church.
sends the following letter to THE
EVENING JOURNAL regarding revi-
val services now in progress at Wesley
Church. Dover:
Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Wesley Church. Dover. is now having
a revival of religion of demonstrated
power and blessing unequaled, II is
said by old members in attendance
upon the services. in a generation.
Men and women of mature years as
we'll as young men and maidens are
being converted and sanctifed by the
score-some times that many in a
single service. The entire body of the
Academy students. as large as for sew
eral years past. not hitherto converted.
with two or three exceptions, are
among the number. The membership
of the church have been blessed from
Heaven, night after night. There is
such union Of spirit and purpose, such
cooperative effort with each other and
under the wise. able leadership Of the
meeting that almost everything asked
or thought of to aid the work of the
Lord is done. And this work moves
on in widening circle and deepening
power and effect.
Congregations that fill the lecture
room, even on stormy evenings, con-
tinue TO assemble night after night.
Throngs of people attend and hang
upon the Word preached in the audi
torium on the Sabbath day. DR.. Char
les H. Babcock, of Portsmouth, Va,
has been assisting the pastor. DR.. Hof-
fecker, since Sunday. January o. Both
Of these brethren are wise and able
leaders in the work. Dr. Babcock is
great evangelistic preacher. He is
rarely endowed and gifted. His in
depreciation Of the Scripture in pene-
tration and illumination is wonderful.
His messages under God are exception
ally searching and stirring; and he is
abundantly anointed and empowered
of the Spirit in their delivery. God is
putting his seal upon Wesley Church.
Respectfully yours.
S. M. Morgan.
