The Revival Meetings. The Seventh "Week Begins with Interest UnabatedNames being Daily Entered on the Converts' Register of the Christian Crusa- j ders. Reported for The News. At tho expiration of six weeks and two days, during which time God's S| iiit has been most won-: derliilly poured out upon the people of Lancaster and the surrounding country, it is very evi dent to all who will be convin , ced, that the interest in the special revival effort, which is now in progrsss, has not yet abated. This fact has bet n plainly demonstrated during the past week, when, notwithing the inclemency of the weather, the iruui i?i nuu near, j in such large numbers, iliat the ] Gospel Tabernacle of the Christ- ( ian Crusadere has been well filled every night. This trul.v j means something. And what? ; That God is moving. Who can i doubt this^'fact? Who will doubt < it? \ The soul-record, up to this i time, is of a very encouraging j nature and shows that 127 have I sought the Lord in the pardoning i of their sins. The names of 113 1 of this number have been enroll- 1 ed upon the Converts' Register, I as those who have professed to have experienced the "New Birth," and God grant that the name of ever}- one has also been recorded in tlie Lamb's Book of Life, and that they may so walk before Him, individually, that He may preserve I hem unto His Heavenly kingdom. Many bright evidences of conversion are seen in the lives of the^e n e w born souls. One instance of recent d a t e, is worthy of not. On oneoccassion the mother and father in a certain family were both unavoid- i ably kept from homo at the usual hour for family worship. Their young son of 12 years, who has i recently lound Christ, said to his brothers and sisters: "Mama ami Papa are away and who will 1 conduct family prayers?" His own answer quickly came. "Oh, I can, I can," and, true to his word, the brave little soldi* r did so. On the dav following the conversion of another bright boy,, he destroyed some trap*, which lie had made ai d set for the pur pose of catching poor, litile, in. uocent birds. It these young boys j and others, who have recently given their he arts to Christ, are tenderly nourished they will, doubtless, develop into strong! robust, and useful Christian j charade, s. One of the principal features ofthe meetings during the past week.has been the testiinonial sor , vice, which h is been conducted ?;?i,ti i.. ,i... 1 ?

Who can doubt the reality of a hoart felt expe rience when such expressions, i the following come Irom ll hearts ot those who have lour Jesus as a satisfying portion? k still have perfect peace anil ha piness in Jesus This supernntu at grace and power is a rich ban account from which we can mal drafts at any time, and they wi always be honored." '! know am at peace with Jesus, and am not ashamed to speak t< Him anywhere. I get as hungi to testify for the Lord as I g< lor my daily meals." "I am glad to be able to sa that 1 know the devil has foun in me a formidable enemy, on thai is very hard to manage, seems sometimes, us though li has left me entirely, but this not so, for well do I know tin ho will return, and with redoul ied energy, try to break (low my faith, lie shall not do so, f< by my determination and tli power the Lord has given me, um prepared to buttle again: him. 1 am more determined tha ever before to stay thus prepare! If I could tell you of that Go <iiven peace of mind and heart am now enjoying, I would wil ingly do so, but I cannot, an you will have to go through tli selfsame experiences that I hav< in order to find out."
