Our church has recently enjoyed a most gracious season of revival. There had been manifestations of the Spirit's work among us,and during the latter part of July and in August, the pastor had the pleasure of welcoming two new members. Then Rev. J. W Rnsphnrnnph evangelist, an old friend of the pastor, came to us and preached ten days or more. Mr. Roseborough had visited our people before, and was most gladly welcomed back again. He preached with his usual earnestness, persuasiveness, and conviction, and did great good in our midst. Christians were revived and strengthened, while the immediate results of the meeting were thirteen additions; we expect others to come to us later. Mr. Roseborough commended our people for their work on our church building. He could scarcely realize that the old church had been transformed into such an attractive house of worship. With these repairs about completed, and the recent addition of twenty-three members, we feel that the Lord has richly blessed us. Our pastor is now taking his vacation, spending September with his brother, Mr. W. D. Witherspoon, of Nashville, Tenn. Marven: After closing the meeting at Boston, Mr. Roseborough held services for Mr. Witherspoon at his other charge, Marvin.

Much seed sowing was thus done, besides the pulpit ministrations, and we believe untold good will result from this meeting. Twelve new members were received, many of whom represented families. Previous to these services seven new members had been enrolled. This church is greatly encouraged at being strengthened by the nineteen recent additions, and hopes for continued growth and iisffnTnooa Tko prayers and gratitude of both these churches go with Mr. R^spboroagh.
