The Rev. Mr. V---- then came and aided another week, at the close of which forty-two were added to the church. Thus did God carry on his work with the humble instruments he had chosen. One young lady who had been an inquirer for two weeks, told us at last she did not care about being converted then, and left the meetings. In three weeks she died. Her last words were, “I could have been saved, but I rejected God’s Spirit, and now I am lost.” Another came sometimes to the inquiry meetings, but owing to the fact that she was soon to marry an irreligious man, put off her day of grace. In a few weeks the day of her intended marriage came. She rose in the morning in usual health to prepare for the ceremony, but before night her costly bridal dress was her winding-sheet. Four miles from town Mr. W----, a colporteur, was at work during the time of this meeting in the town, and ten were there added to a little church. I have been thus particular in stating the facts in relation to this work, as it was the starting point of one of the most powerful revivals that I have ever witnessed. It extended over one hundred miles square of a sparsely populated country, in which near one thousand souls were converted to God within about four months. The fidelity and perseverance in the service of Christ of those thus brought in, is the best evidence that this was truly the work of God’s Spirit. At the close of these cheering labors in L----, I went to the town of U---- to be with Mr. H---- at a sacramental meeting, and take a collection for the Tract Society. He is one of God’s ministers that does his work faithfully. The meeting began on Friday night. Mr. H---- requested me to occupy the time in giving an account of the great work at L----, which I did. Although but few were present, and they mostly pupils in the academy he taught, the bare relation of the facts of the revival at L---- made a deep impression, and resulted in the conversion of his son, who is now a minister. The next morning at nine, we had a meeting for prayer and exhortation, at which there was still more interest. At eleven Mr. H---- preached. At night I conducted the service by exhortation and prayer. The solemnity was still increased. At each meeting we gave each one present a suitable tract, with a word of earnest counsel.
