Two Glorious Revival Meetings. i
7 1
j Mr. Editor: We observe that |
you mentioned in The Times of
j last week an interesting revival ,
meeting at Philadelphia church. ,
With your permission, we will
! give your readers a fuller account
i of the meeting, and also of one just
; closed at Pleasant Hill church.
These meetings were remarkable
1 for the constant and large attend 1
j ance of people of all classes and ,
i denominations. The services were
i so similar in conduct and results
! that what might hi' said of one,
lean truthfully be said of either. (
! The most remarkable feature about
I these services was the entire absence
of outward demonstration,
but ft doe)), constant and earnest .
I solicitation on the part of both old '
and young, regardless of sect or
denomination. To use the expression
heard from the lips of uearlv
| every one, "It was delightful, re- '
freshing and exilerating." It did
one good to see staid men and wo- i
men of other views, join iu the 1
the worship of one common Lord
There is another remarkable feature
connected with these services.

and children in particidar. (inyety
and lightness wore conspicuously
absent. It impressed the close observer
that the young people attended
each service to do pood and
pet pood, nnd judping from the
bright expression on every face,
: they were not the least disappoint- <
ed. It is ovor thus. "To him that
give, it shall bo given."
The preaching at Philadelphia
was done principally by Rev. Marvin
Auid. of Rock Hill, and at 1
Pleasant Hill by Rov. \V. A- Fairy,
of Rlaokstock. Their sermons were
clear, strong and logical; carrying

of those ministers could spend
the Salihath with us, lint other duties
required their presence at
home. On Sunday night the last
service at Philadelphia more than
eighty persons, of all denominations
puhliHy pled trod themselves
to try and become more useful in
in**ii several spheres of !i!". A"'l
the last night at Pleasant Hill was
no exception, about seventy-five
making the same pledge of fidelity
to Clod and man. We pray God
that they may he able to carry it
out faithfully to the end. Truly,
it was good to he there. All of us
feel better able to meet the strain
incident upon us in life. Seventeen

church, and others will unite

A preacher came at a newspaper
man in this way: '"You editors
io not tell tho truth. If you did
you could not live; your newspapers
would he a failure.1' The
editor replied: "You are rigid,
find the minister who will at all1
times and under all circumstances
fell the the whole truth about his
members, alive or dead, will not
occupy his pulpit more than one
Sunday, and then he will find it
neei essary to leave town in a '
hurry. The pr?s* and pulpit go,
hand in hand, with whitewash
brushes and pleasant words magnifying
little virtues into higones.
The pulpit, the pen and the gravestone
are the great saint making
triumvirate." And the great
