Communities have been quickened, churches have been encournged and stimulated, and the cause of God has been helped on In cvery way. To know that large and successful unlon mectings are belng held in one acctlon fs all that otber sectlons ficed to Invite them to po to work at once. Wao sincerely hopa that tho influence of our great newspapcrs ' for tho cause of Chiristlanity may nover bo less than it is to- day. A workot universal intercst has been in progress hero for more than nine weeks, It was coinmenced alone by the Rev. Mr. Millsap, of tho Methodist church, untll it assumed such proportions that all the churches united fn it. Ol4, hiardencd reprobates have been converted) saloon-keepers, in iwo fnstances, have given up thelr trade of destroylng men's bodfes and souls, and left the. town; skoptical professiona) men in many cases have ceased to debate upon the why and wherefore, cause and effect, and have become followers of the Master, Men who bave not been {nside of a church for thirty years ars now rcgular at- tendants. No sectarlanism has shown ftself. As fast as the sinnors turned to the Lord Brother Mills advised thein Lo unito with somo church, but with a spirit of truo Christianity did not attempt to bulldoze them Into his own par- ticular vineyard, Left to thelr own cholvs over 200 bavo united with the Mothodlst Church, and as many mora to the other churches in the vile lage, Mr. Mills has been aided in this great work by the Hev. Mr. Gilbert, of the Baptist Church, The Rev. Mr, Harsha, of tho Presbyterian Churcl, an able, earuest, and eloqueut “minls- ter, has aiso been laboring with his other breth- ren here, but has now gons to Dubuque with Mr, Bmllh, of Dixon, who sings the Gospel. ‘This wonderful work licro lmc“li the TProtest- ants bas nlso_stirred up tho Catholics. The Rev. Father T. B, Keating, sn earncst, active, zcalous priest, hos been holding o * mission ™ here, and the peopleof hisflock bave turned out well, and have been {nterested and benofit- ed.

Bpectal Dispatch o The Triduna. Dusuqus. la., March 1,~The resival here, which has now been fn progress for over seven weeks, s somewhat of a different nature from thoso which have taken placo in other lo- calitics in the Northwest this winter. Relig- fously, Dubuque Is rather a pecular city, With a population of over 20,000, It does uot number but about 2,000 church members of the evan- gelical churches. '*Freo Thought *' and a de- nial of the doctrine of the atonctfient had so cropt Into some of these churches that they had become dead, and wero {n s very poor state. At this crisls the ministers hiero resolved during ths week of praycr that something must be dune to thorouglly srouse and awaken the church mnembership to a sense of their responst- billtv and duty., After the minfsters here had Rone along with thelr work themsclves for some weeks, John V. Farwel), of your city, came here and preached twico to an overflowing house. Upon his return, Maj, Whittle was zent aud has lieen preaching every day since. My, McGrana- han has, with bis sweet Gospel songs, greatly aldod nnd assisted Maj. Whittle, and both of these gentlenien acem to havo uade a deep and lssting linpression here, Last night the Con- regational Church was crowided to overfiowing, &‘hu Major's scrmon was pronounced as the best he hos preachied in this clty, and we bave scldom listcued to such a pathetic appeal to sinuers to come to Christ. His text was: * Behold I stand at tbe door aud knock; If any mon will hear My volce and will open tho door 41 will comsunto him and will sup with him and lie with Me.” Durivg the wlele of this dlscourse the speaker ield his audience breath- less. Atthnes you could have heard a mateh drop. The Mujor described also Ius journey to Ashbtaula for the remalus of hisclose friend, I’ I\ B After the sermon many of the audi- enco gave thelr testimony to the power of the truth, and a large number cxpressed their fuith m Christ by desiring tho pruyers of God's peo- ple.
