THE REVIVAL IN N. Y.

By C. O. TAYLOR.

AND still the good work goes on here. We had held no meetings on the Sabbath in the meeting-house, till yesterday. The first Sabbath we were at Roosevelt, the second at Houndsfield, the third at Mansfield. Yesterday was a day of fasting and prayer, by most of the church, for a special object. We met for prayer at 9½ A. M. I spoke at 11, from Mark 1, 6, dwelling mostly on the subject of baptism, showing its importance in some seven or eight directions, taking up also the subject of re-baptism, showing its necessity in some cases, and examples for doing so in other cases. After this we went to the water where ten were buried in the likeness of Christ’s death, and rose to walk in newness of life. God owned the ordinance by giving a large measure of his Spirit. Three had never

been baptized, a brother and two sisters of one family. Seven were re-baptized.

In the evening we held a prayer-meeting, when six came forward for prayers, desiring a deeper work of grace in their hearts. As we closed the day’s labor we felt satisfied that God will raise up his people when they will humble themselves by confessing their sins and putting them away. The church are humbling themselves in this county. To God be all the praise.
