Tt in very evident from the large audiences, which continue to crowd the Tabernacle of the Christian Crusaders, irotn the liberty arid freedom I>y the Christians in the testimonial services, and the personal work which is being done by the children of G<>d all over the town, among their unsaved friends and loved ones, as well as during the aftermeetings ol these services, and the additions that are being made to the sotil record nightly, that the interest of this good work is not decreasing in anv department. 15b pre eious souls have gladly aocepte I the gospel invition, have put on the wedding garment, and have made preparation to go in unto the wedding supper o' the Lamb."

The solemn question which confronts us i?,?"Who shall he able \?> stand?" .Seven precious souls knelt at i the mercyseat in the meeting on Friday night, and through faith in Jesus Chiisl, were delivered from their loudens ol sin, and I found in Christ tlieir satisfying' portion. Though a meeting was not L held in the Tabernacle on Sat I tirday ir.ght, on account ol the 11 s'ortn which cajpe up j ;>t ahout ; t he usual hour for the service,'1 two persons, who had come two miles Irom the country t > attend I lie nivrht meeting, and for the special purpo e of being sav d, were blessedly converted to God in one ot the smaller tents.

It is not improbab e thutho Holy ' Ghost tins operated upon some persons during this series ol | meetiii'.'s, as He never will again.
