tirfitor Democrat:
We ha f had one of I he most
wonderful revivals of religion
that has ever, biessott this
section of our country. The
servMces were cotiducted b V
Hevs. S. T; Cairoll and Cai
roll Johnson. The meeting
continued for 15 dajs in suc
cession, and there was the
most interest felt and Hhown
in the meeting ever seen in
this section.
The ministers held their au
dience spell-bound as it were,
and the attention and bebav
ior was perfect. Some of the
ablest sermons we have ever
heard were delivered, showing
plainly what fallen man must
do to be saved, and to: ob
tain faith in Christ, and be
prepared to get to a better
world when done with this
This meeting resulted in 03
conversions and 41 additions
to the church. MujT the good
work' go on all overthiscoun
try until there shall bo none
left to acTvcK'ateTthe cause of
the wicked one. 1 am sine if
the churches all over the coun
trj would go to work in ear
nest as did thia church, the
world would soon see and re
alize the power there is in re
