BETHEL-CHESWOLD CHURCH
REVIVAL

The protracted meeting which
had been going on week or more
at Bethel Church near ChesWold,
with evident depth of seriousness
from the audience, eliminated in
an outburst of flame Sunday night,
twelve penitents making their way
to the altar, five of them professed
conversion. On Monday evening
there were seven at the altar, all
heads of families but one, and last
evening Notwithstanding the rain,
there were seven at the altar three
of whom were converted. The

"As a symbol of that protection,
