The Central Presbyterian

A Revived Church.—The church in Baltimore to which the Rev. John Leyburn, D. D., has ministered for some years past with increasing usefulness, has recently been blessed with a special time of refreshing. The Baltimore Sun of the 5th inst., says:

"Sunday was a day of unusual interest in this congregation. As the result of the late revival fifty-two communicants were received into the church. At the close of the sermon the pastor read out the long list of names, and during the singing of the hymn:

"People of the living God
I have sought the world around,"

the new communicants came forward making quite a crowd around the pulpit. Most of the group were young persons, and a large number of them young men. The pastor read to them the vows of a religious profession, which being accepted they were received to membership. They were then solemnly addressed as to the responsibilities they had taken upon themselves, and commended to the guidance and help of God to make them faithful. The Lord's Supper was afterwards administered to a large number of communicants. This congregation, which less than four years ago had dwindled to almost nothing, and had thought of disbanding and selling their property, has become one of the most flourishing in the city. About one hundred communicants have been received within the last ten months. The demand for increased accommodations for the Sunday Schools and weekly meetings has led to the purchase of the property west of the church, which with the improvements will cost from $20,000 to $25,000. John W. Garrett, Esq., gives $5,000 of the amount, and his mother, Mrs. Robert Garrett, $5,000."
