The truth grew in favor with the neoDle. and there were many conversions and accessions to tlie church. The word of God grew in power and intensity and led to marvelous deeds of ielf -renunciation ns well as to the mani festation of great solemnity and joy. "And prevailed." It prevailed, 1. Over the cor ruption of the natural heart leading those who had heard the 'gospel to turn from dead idols to serve the living God. 2. Over the opnosition of the powers of evil manifested in the exposure of Sceva's sons and the deliverance of the man possessed. 3. Over the besetting sins of believers en abling those who had received the word to shake themselves free from the love of. magic and the fascinations of money. Whhe the church was being stirred to confession and reformation, a dees simnression was also, being made upon the Community, lead ing to fear. and yenerationif not to convic tion and conversion. We Jiould notice also "the absolute exclusivenss of Christianity which admits of no ennfpromise." It can not mix with otter reliltons, but must pre vail over them.
