" We have conversions every meeting, and our meetings are every evening, and sometimes in the day. It is one of the most pleasing reformations I ever witnessed.
" The last female singer was converted two evenings since, and one young man only remains unconverted in the singing choir. Now we have singing with the spirit, as well as with the understanding.
" Our altar is crowded two deep every evening with mourners. The young converts labor to convey convictions to the minds of their companions, and as soon as they get them forward to the altar, they take hold of them by faith and prayer, and through mercy, they soon come up out of the pit, and praise God."—Ib.
