of one of oar churches, laboring with zeal and fi
delity. Of later years he has travelled as a col
porteur through this and adjoining counties,
continuing this work until a short time before
his death ; thus leaving an example of activity
and usefulness in old age worthy of imitation.
If not a great man he was a good man, and emi

Revivals.
The Central church of Norristown, Pa.., have,
for years past, observed the "Week of Prayer,"
with great profit, and before each communion
season, we spend o the preceding week in exercises
preparatory to that solemn and delightful Chris
tian privilege. This year, the " week of prayer"
and " preparatory week" came together, and it
was evident very soon, that the Spirit of the
Lord was present in an unusual manner, impress
ing the hearts 'of sinners with their necessity of
a Saviour. At the close of the "week of prayer."
it was manifest, that hearts were desirous of sal
vation all around, and another week of service
was proposed; and.thup week by week the meet
ings were kept up, through Sanitary and most of
February. As a result`of this effort, thirty-three
persons on Sabbath April 1 11th, took Upon
themselves the vows of the Ohristian. The Sab
bath school shared vary largely in -this' Work ;
eleven were young ladies, members of the Bible
class. In these labors, the pastor; Rev. H. T.
Ford, was assisted by Rev. C. Collins, Jr., and
Rev. R. R. Allen was present with us one even-

ing. The tokens of the Spirit still remain with
the Church. Great care was exercised, that the in
terest should not develop into an unnatural ex
citement. At the close of the preaching service,
the members of the church would retire into the
Sabbath-school room for prayer for half an hour,
for a special blessing upon the truth, while the
pastor and elders would remain to communcatel
with the inquirers.

hour all the Christian' community united' with

version of over 200 persons, was without' excite
ment, but characterized by stillness, and calm
and, deep thought. '
,Business was Suspended dur

grossed the attention and conversation Of the
people, in the stores, manufacturing establish
ments, saloons, and hotels. On the first Sabbath

ering April 28, at the house of Dr. Sunderland,

ciety of the church was present, and made a
written report of their work during ,thd winter.
By their energy and perseverance, they have
succeeded in cancelling the debt on the church,
(an aggregate of over three thousand dollars).

most happy speech, and, in behalf of the Mem

overcome, but ridding 'himself of the knot in his
throat, made a capital reply.
Churches.
Southhold, L. I.—The First church (formerly
the pastoral charge of Rev. G. F. Wiswell, D.D.,
now that of Rev. Epher Whitaker,), established
in 1640, has enjoyed the grace of God through
out the winter in more than usual 'Measure. It
met in the church edifice or in the lecture room,
every night for eight weeks. At the last celebra
tion of the lord's Supper, a larger number were
admitted than at any other communion under the
min .stry of a pastor for the last century, and it
is supposed that there will be as many more at
the next communion. Two years Once, the con
gregation bought a lot of 1 acres,' and erected
Commodious and attractive buildings for an
Academy, near the centre of the village, with a
view to maintain "a school of high scholarship
and Christian morals." This school has been
flourishing for more than a year, and largely
shared and aided the revival of religion.—Corr.
of The Evamielist.
Battle Creek, Mich—The people have done a
very good and necessary work the past. season in
the enlargement of the church building, at an
expense altogether of. about $20,000. The old one

one has sittings for at least one thousand, besides
a basement room under the whole, making a. ca
pacious lecture and Sunday school room. The
audience room is beautifully frescoed and well
lighted .with five fine , chandeliers. The organ
from Boston cost over $2OOO. The ladies have
been hard laborers in the good work, as they are
generallyin such an enterprise. The dedication
took place April 9th. 'All of the exercises were
very appropriate and: interesting. The house was
crowded to overflowing last Sabbath—Con.

Hearts of the Countrymen,"
That's not G. Waihington, for he's dead. But it
is Oak Hall, the big Clothing House at Sixth and
Market Ste., Philadelphia. In war times it took
strong hold upon the affections of the people, because
it kept as near as possible to old prices; and in peace
it increases its popularity by the excellence and ever
increasing cheapness of its clothing; but it is en
throned in the hearts of the "countrymen" because
country trade is its speciality.

The late Mr. James Id.. Billings was.extensively known in the

Such a life was a testimony—a beautiful exemplification of the
