BRAXTON.—The writer held a ten days' revival meeting with this little mountain church, located on Walden's Ridge, about forty miles north of Chattanooga, beginning December 24. Notwithstanding the inclement weather, muddy roads, and dark nights, the church was well filled each evening with an attentive congregation. The Lord gave freedom in the presentation of his Word, and was present by his Holy Spirit in convicting and converting power.

The last Sabbath of the meeting all hearts were made tender by the Holy Spirit, and the church was united in the bonds of fellowship and love by the confession of sin and the putting away of differences. As a result of the meetings, eleven persons united with the church. Others promised to unite with us the last night of the meeting, but were prevented from being present by a heavy downpour of rain. Baptism will be again administered in the spring.

This little church supports a church-school of thirty pupils, with an attendance of five from those not of our faith. The church has been much revived by this effort, and the entire community stirred by the solemn truths presented.
