The Meeting.

Our article last week was misleading
in one sense. We stated that there
had not been any public professions.
This information we gathered upon
the streets, but our informant was
not posted. At the time we went to
press we are correctly informed that
there had been eight or ten CONVEX
sions. Up to last Friday there had
been twenty or twenty-five profess
ions. The meeting is still IN progress,
great good being accomplished. Rev.
Weldon's sermons are fervent and
pointed, and the crowds attending
seem very much interested.
