Three weeks since, about a dozen Christians met and arranged the work of personal effort for the salvation of the unconverted. The fol lowing day oil the pious students assembled, and a committee was appointed who assigned to each two or three of the impenitent for di rect labor in their behalf. We immediately began to see the effects. Our first prayer meeting was crowded. The interest deepened, and Christians began to move in earnest, while sinners were inquiring the way of salvation. About sixty have expressed hope. It seems wonderful that God should so bless such poor, feeble efforts.” The influence of this delightful revival is extending to the various schools of the town, and) is visible in the churches, The most marked and decided impulse to the work was given by young men who had attended the meetings of E. P. Hammond, in Lawrence. The evidences of a genuine outpouring of the Spirit are unusually clear. It is seldom that revival intelligence so impressively illustrates the divine connection between the use of means and the Spirit's glorious working. Revival at Terrwille, Conn. —A corres pondent of the Congregationalist writing Jan. 16th, of a revival ,in this place says :—“Not quite three weeks ago; at a meeting of young Christians held at a private house, (at which there has not averaged more than 15 in. atten dance the past two years,) there were between 50 and 60 persons present, most of them unbe lievers. Twenty-two rose for ,prayers, and six that night accepted Jesus as their Saviour. The work has gone on from that time, and is now progressing. Between 40 and 50 have found hope and peace in their Saviour, and over 30 of them were from the Sabbath-School; embracing those from 13 to 45 years of age. We have had ho extra preaching except in the school houses in the district connected with, the parish. Out pastor, Rev. F. A- Spencer, however, devotes all his: lame ;to : the work, a great part of which is going from house to house, and into the shops, in personal .conver sation with the people.” A ’ .. /«:* ; v - ' " «•'. . ' .5, : X Work op Grace.—a eorWspblriaeTftrtrf the Lutheran ■ Observer says:—Tamhappyi to inform the numerous readers of the Observer, that quite an extensive work of grace has .been going .oh in one of the congregations served by This congregation has, bgeji connected, until” recently, with the Hanover charge. The church several years ago, had no Sunday School, prayer-meeting, or family altars, and scarcely a praying man to offer a prayer at the bed- of the sick and the"dying. Indeed, most of- the members thought that there was no necessity for them toprhy. They had a preacher, they paid him, let him pray, was their feeling, if not their expression. And as for Sunday Schools and prayer-meetings, they thought that those things were nOt part of the Lutheran system. For Methodists to have such things was well enough, but not for the Lutherans, To revivals of religion they had the- most decided objections. Yhey re garded them as mere scenes of feverish and un healthy . excitement, which they would ,never tolerate, if they could prevent’it. But God blessed the preaching of His Word, meetings were multiplied and protracted, sig ners were awakeped and converted to God. During the fall, this congregation was visited with a great deal of sickness, and quite a num ber among the young were called tril the other world. This produced a great deal of serious ness, Christians were awakened to greater watchfulness and more earnest prayer. The' pastor commenced a series of meetings.' . It was - soon evident that ' the : Spirit of God was moving, upon the nf the people. The Word of the Lord was carried. home; to, the. minds of the people by the Holy SpiiiV The ' result Was, as of -.old, that men began to ask-; " What, must ,wp do. to, be saved." They were pointed to the “Lamb of God ..which taketh away the sin of the world.” Whole families that had lived in ntter disregard of the claims of religion, have been hopefully-converted to God, and where nothing was heard bu,t cursing, now is heard the voice of prayer and thanks giving. The card-table has been removed, and the Bible occupies its place. ~ ; ’ The religious awakenings in Dover and Great Falls, N. H„ in S: Berwick, Me./ and in Haver hill, Mass., continue with unusual power. In the latter place, Rev. E. P. Hammond,has been preaching to audiences filling the largest halls. ■ln these towns hundreds are reported as con verted, In several Methodist churches of New York city, in the. Seminary at Charlottesville, Fort Edward Institute, and in Brooklyn, “the ; times of refreshing.” are enjoyed. At New- . buryport, Mass., Rev.

A correspondent,’ writing from'Tuscany, last December, says he saw a monk in his frock, but with the military great coat bound around his neck, marching to. the railway station at "Pescara; along with about one hundred other recruits, on the way to the depot at Ancona. . : ■* v American and Foreign Christian Union. — Rev. E. E. Hall writes to the Christian World, under date of November 16th, giving a sum mary of the state of the mission in Italy.,;. He says that the mission in the Island of- Elba is prospering. At Rio Marina;’the work,'com-* menced under serious persecutions, has been,, prosperous from the beginning. The imports ance and stability of the mission there have been secured by the building of a neat house of wprsli'ip, the last summer. At Porto Ferraio, a priest secretly, bought the; hired house in which- Protestant services bad been held; in the hope of throwing the congregation but of doors. Another building has been but a house should be owned by the Protestants, as at Rio Marina. Another school has been opened in ( the Island, and a new colporteur appointed. ‘.‘A church has been built in Pisa, through the instrumentality of an English lady, who applied to me two months since to become responsible for the salary of the minister/ I have done so, believing that much good might be done through the faithful preaching of the Gospel there.

Mr. Hall has been requested to assume its expenses. A colporteur is laboring in Florence. We have two schools, with sixty or seventy children, which, says Mr. H., have: accomplished much good. There is also a Brescia. A new mission has -been, established at Casale, near Alessandria; The Teacher a'nd Evangelist at Favale, receives part of his support from the Union. One member of the little church there, who had suffered persecution nndlmprisonment for the Gospel, has recently gone to his rest. During the last five months, a colporteur has been laboring in Faenza, Ravenna, and other places in that region. He has had very good success in the sale of Bibles' and tracts. A Waldensiau minister has been sent to Milan as an assistant in .the Waldensiam Ohurch there; An intelligent Christian tnan has been sent to Foiana. In all, the Union employs about twenty laborers, of whom seven are mi nisters, and five more do the duties in part or altogether of Evangelists. Besides these, a young man is supported at the college in La Tour, who is in , a course of preparation for the ministry; and another' in the Swiss school in’ Florence. ■ ! ■' " Mr. Hall, says, in closing:, I am sure you will unite your prayers with mine, for the blessing of God on the work of Evangelization in Italy; and that divine grade -i«id,.wisdfiinuxiay-:be:grantW to all engaged in ithiB important serviobif,i''^"' England:— DeaeoraesseS'iii the Established Ghwr6h.~ At the second anniversary of the North London Deaconesses Institution, the.

Each new patient receives a number, written on the first page of a four page tract, which contains a brief no tice of the rules. of the dispensary- the ten commandments, the Lord’s prayer, and a sum mary of the Gospel: This tract he must bring whenever he comes to the dispensary, so that it must be carefully preserved, and it is doubt less read by many beside those to whom it is given.

It was thought some time since that this church would have to be given up, as so many of the people had moved up town ; hut it is grati fying to know that it will not bo relin quished. A church in this part of the city is greatly needed, and should be sustained. The plan of moving all churches up town; as it is beginning to ftp practised in Boston’ New, York and your city of“ Brotherly Love,” is a bad one, and ought to be dis continued by the churches. It leaves a vast multitude of the laboring classes in the more business parts of the city, with out, any church privileges.;?;.
