"AWSTIN AT CLYDACH VALE "Awstin," assisted by Miss Ma-ttie Williams 't'ontypridd), Miss C. L. Jones (Ynysybwl), ^iss Maggie Bevan (Forth), and the Rev. B. lh.vies (Portui), conducted a, revival service a..t the English Baptist Cha,pel. Clydaoh Vale, On Friday. There was a crowded congrega- tion, and the service was a successful and 1 "ipmssive one. "Awatin" gave t.he story of the revivil, and the young la.dies sang t.he Principal hymns in Welsh and English, the 5ftading the opening chapter also being ^ipres&ively given by Miss Bevan. Several S'oimg people in the congrega,tion sang solos. At, the close the Rev. 31r. Davies (C.M. minis- ter, Olydacl1 Vale) proposed a vote of thanks to "Awst.in" a,nd the "Western Mail" for their Fcrviees to the revival. This w-as seconded by Dr. Morgan. Clydach Vale, and supported by the Re-v. T. Davies. Baptist minister, Tony- bandy. 1 he audience rose to their feet to ^indorse the views expressed, and after some tnore hynm-ainjging, the proceedings in the shaped were brought to a close, a consider- able* number of converts being enrolled. Subsequently, a Procession was formed out- &irJ..o the chapel, and marched through the itia,ill streets, singing "Dyma Gariad fel y ttioroedd" and other hymns. A halt was lba-,de, and some local flil-lads held an open- air service in the street. There are indiea- tion that the revival "fire" has been re- kindled into a. blaze at Clydaoh Vale. Saturday Evening's Service I The revival services at the English Baptist Chapel, Clydach Vale, were continued on Saturday. There was a morning prayer Hieeting. which was attended by one of Awstin's" lady evangelists, Miss C. A. Jones, of Ynysybwl. In the evening there ^as again a. large congregation in the c'napel. The first part of the proceedings Vas conducted by the Rev. B. Davies, Porth, who had been the principaJ instrument in kindling the revival fire in this Church-a, Church whose membership has been consider- ^•bly more than doubled in number sinoe last ^ptember. Subsequently Awstin took charge of the meeting, and conducted it ntirely on the lines of Mr. Evan Roberts's Meetings—inviting prayers for specific objects, testimonies, experiences, Ac. He was Assisted in this work by Miss C. A. Jones 'Yj^lgybwl) and Miss Matti-e Williams (Pont- YDridd). Dr. Morgan, whose interest in the ^vival is a very aotive one, spoke, and, anioug- other masters, pointed to the improve- ment which had since the outbreak of the ^^vival been brought about in the language Imewd in the streets -of Olydach Vale.

1 PONTYPRIDD MISSION II MR. D. ROBERTS HOLDS HIS HEARERS SPELLBOUND. Mr. Dan Roberts, accompanied by Mies Maggie Davies (Maeateg), Miss B. A. Jones 'Najitymoel), and Miss Mary Davies (Gors- eanon), continued his successful series of revival meetings at Pontypridd in the Graig Mission-ha-11 on Friday night, the building being filled to its utmost capacity. Hymns were sung in English and Welsh pending the arrival of the missioner, and at intervals prayers offered, but a;s Mr. Roberts entered there was a hush as though his very presence made itself felt before he had spoken a word. Bowing his head in prayer for a few moments he delivered a brief, but earnest, appeal to those present to turn to God. An elderly man, who was in tears, gave thanks that he ha.d seen with the eyes of faith during the past four months and regretted that he had not had the privilege forty years before. Mr. Dan Roberts held his hearers spell- bound as he told them that the key to the treasures of God was prayer. If anyone in that meeting prayed earnestly a.nd truly, that night would be a great, an impressive, amd a holy occasion. There were many aouls present awaiting to be saved in the hall, and if the request was made He would put it into the hearts of sinners to seek Christ, and He would help them to be redeemed by faith. A test was made, and, with only a few excep- tions, adl stook np. Later in the evening a procession was formed, hymns wer^ sung in the madn streets, and a.t different halting- places some gave testimonies. During the services which were held at the Temple on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thurs- I day the total number of converts was brought up to about 170 odd. SUNDAY'S SERVICES. Mr. Dan Roberts conducted very successful eervioes at Pontypridd on Sunday, the morn- ing and evening meetings being heid at Gruig Chapel, and the afternoon at Temple Chape], Mr. Roberts was accompanied by Mise Annie Davies (Maesteg), Miss Maggie Davies (Maes- teg), Miss Mary Davies (Gor&einon), and Mies S. A. Jones (Nantymoel). The aftarnoon meet- ing was characterised by a great deal cf fervency and enthusiasm. Quite a remark- able prayer was offered up by a, working man, who thanked God that there were in that meet- ing some who had, with bim, been addicted to drink, but had now been reformed; and there was much pathos in his supplication that strength might be given him and his companions to overoome temptations. A -an here remarked that they were styled "mM revivalists," but they were, he said, mad on the right side, and this remark brought Miss S. A. Jones to her feet, who took the man's remark as the subject of a, very racy address. Oh, it is not madness," ehe said subsequently, "it is canity. It was before the revival I was mad, but I am sane now," and she then went on to dil-ate quite elo- quently upon the change wrought in her ohsv- rooter. The oloee of the meeting was marked by several conversions. The evening meeting was also a very fine one. A pathetic note was given to the meeting by a. young girl. praying for the salvation of her father, who she had succeeded in getting to the meeting. The meeting proceeded very finely, and too close was marked by some beautiful singing.

I Lady Evangelists I HOLD A SERVICE IN A LEVEL I On Saturday Miss Maggie- Davies (Maesteg),! Miss S. A. Jones (Nantymoel), and Miss M-ary Davies (Goraeinon), the three young lady evangelists who are assisting Mr. Dan Roberts at Pontypridd, paid a visit to a prayer meet- ing held at the Maritime Level Colliery, Pontypridd. Accompanied by several friends, they made the jonrney into the level in a tram, and when a halt was made in a central position some 200 workmen gathered together, and a very impressive service ^was opened by the singing of "Lead, Kindly Light." Miss S. A. Jones delivered an English address, in which she dwelt upon the importance of having the light of Christ in life in and out of the colliery. Miss Mary Davies, in the course of a Welsh address, remarked that if there was anyone in need of a Saviour more than another, it was the collier, who risked his life in the dark and dangerous surroundings of the coal-pit. Miss Maggie Da.vies fervently prayed in Welsh for the safety and salvation of all present, and for the spread of the Revival throughout the whole world. Mrs. Hope, in an English prayer, thanked God for the Revival, and asked for a blessing upon the ina-na-ger and other officials of the colliery, as well as the workmen and their families. Several prayers were ofFered by the miners present, and "0 fryniau Caersalem ceir gwekd" was sung on the journey outward. ."Lead, Kindly Light" and other hymns were also sung. Just as the party reached the mouth of the level the young ladies i-endered "Dioich Iddo."

Blaenavon Boys. I HOLD PRAYER MEETINGS -IN THE STREETS At Blaenavon on Saturday evening a. band of young lads between the ages of fourteen and sixteen held prayer meetings at different Places in the principal streets. Just before eleven o'clock they were holding a meeting in William-street, when a, drunken man went in their midst and attempted to sing. At onoe the young boys started to pray for him, and at last the drunken man asked them to take him home and to have a meeting there. This was done, and once inside the house all the boys dropped on their knees, and half-a- dozen prayed together for the man's conver- sion. This little meeting lasted until long after el-even o'clock, and the drunken man was re-claimed. Converts in the Dee I Undeterred by extremely miserable weather, the Merioneth first contingent of revival con- verts underwent public immersion in the River Dee on Sunday at Carrog, which is rcm,in-tica,lly situated eight miles beyond jjlangollen. The tempoerature of the water was slightly above 40 degrees. The converts after being immersed waited on the river's bank while the officiating minister delivered an impassioned address on baptism. ¡ Liangammarch Church Mission I Special revival services have been son- ducted at Liangammarch by the Rev. James Jonce, assistant diocesan missioner; the Rev. R. W Owen, M.A., vicar of Eglwys Oen Duw, Beulah; and the Rev. D. Edmondcs-Owen, M.A., vioar of Llamellwedd. Again on Sunday evening the special service was conducted by the Rev. D. Edmondes-Owen. Each service was very well attended.

A RECTOR ON "FASTING" I The Rectocr of Lowestoft has some new ideas on the subject of Lent fasting, which he vigorously expresses in his Parish Magazine." Fasting, he says, may take many forme. "It may mean giving up things we like-moking, sweets, parties. It may also mean spending less time in bed, getting up earlier in the morning. It may mean keeping a watch over our tongues, refusing to speak about other people when we cannot say aniytihing kind about them, refusing to grumble when things are not just as we should iike them. It might be a good thing for many of us if during this Lent we were to fast moat rigorously in this matiteT of the tongue and of our converse tiiotn about, cuther people and their affairs."

APOPLEXY IN CHURCH I The Rev. Francis Wesleyan superintendent minister, was seized with apoplexy on Sunday whilst conducting the service at Sturminster, Newton, Dorset, amd died shortly afterwards. Deceased, who was 65 years of age, had been in the ministry over 40 yearns. He mœ at-brcrtireirof thfe-es-iSayor of Taaakm.

1 ABERDCVEY The only tradesman in the town who held a grooer's lioence to sell intoxicating liquors has announced his intention of not applying for a renewaJ.

I ABERCYNON. The Revival "fire" seems to have been burning at white heat. at Calbria Welsh Baptist Church. The Church has been favoured with a large number of converts, several batches having been baptised of late. The prayer meetings, which are held nightly, are maa-ked with much fervour and earnest- ness. An impressive scene was witnessed last Sunday evening, when the Rev. D. Llew. Mbrris, Pengam, baptised a large batch of new converts, prior to which the rev. gen- t-leman delivered a strong and pointed eermon on the Sacrament. One also remained behind in the society.

I ABERSYCHAN Fervenit meetings have been held at tibe various Churches, and there is a. gre" cfcajige for the better in the CODlduot of the inhabi- tants. United meetings axe to be held. — «

I ABERGAVENNY I Mr. Sidney Evans and Mr. Sam Jenkins ha-vo conducted a mission. The meetings hava been crowded, and many converts were made.

I ANGLESEY The Island Stirred The Isle of Anglesey has been stirred from end to end by the Revival. In the 55 Metho- dist chapels there have been 1,116 converts, 276 -at the fifteen Independent chapels, 366 at the 24 Baptist places of worship, and 115 at the eight Wesleyan churches, making a total i of 1,673 converts for the 102 chapels.

I BLAENAVON. All the cha/pels of the town. have benefited more or less by an increase in numbers of members. King-stre--t Baptist and Horeb Baptist have more than doubled their mem- bership, wdri44D other Churches have done nearly as well. Even the children have been touched, and two or three bands of lads between twelve and sixteen years of age are bo be seen in the evenings holding pmyer meetings in the streets. They sing popular hymns with great enthusiasm. A Coincidence A prayer meeting was heM at a oottage. The man who lived there had. just gone to work, and on his way he conversed with lu mate about th3 meeting-, and hummed t tune to which th-i hymn "In the sweet by- and-bye" is usually sung. He inquired of his wife in the morning about the meeting, and learned that this hymn had been sung at the opening of the meeting, whilst he was on his way to work. Subsequently another prayer meeting was held at the sajne house, and this man and another man and his wife sur- rendered.

I BRADFORD. Ex-Hangman's Confessions Berry, the ex-hangman, who has come, under the influence of the Revival now in progress, has described his conversion. He had been a. bad man, he said, for thirty years, but his household was now a heaven upon earth. In his time he had seen wickedness in all its stages, but he was not now bothered by his Satanic Majesty. For tiiirty years he bad been unable toshed a tear, and had not known what sympathy was. When he left his home at HeckmondwLke, and joined the then Bradford police foroe, he became wicked because he had to do as the other polieamen did, or he would have been sacked. He went the way the wind blew him. His sins had now left him, and he was ready to die without any fOOlr. He hoped the Revival would reach Bradford, and sweep like an avalanche through the country.

BRECONSHIRE. A Week's Mission Lleohfaen (Oaivinietic Methodist), Lla-nfry- rbach ^Baptist), Pencelty (Oalvinistdc Methodist), and Lock (Wesleyan), small village chapels near Brecon, have for some months been holding united prayer meetings, whiah Last week culminated in a week's mission, conducted by Mr. Joseph James, of Brecon Memorial College. A wonderful series of meetings were held at some of which the real Reviv-al fire broke out. Many converts from the world have been made, almost aU hoarers have become Church members, and every individual mem- oor is inspired by convictions of the digmty and importance of the Chri--itdan work before them. Those who know the lethargic state of buoo'lic Brecon shire (untouched by the Revival of 1859) will recognise that the Spirit must have manifested great power here. The young men and maddens are gallantly put- ting on their Chrisbi-an armour.

BANGOH I The Free Church Council has asked people to endeavour to do all their shopping by nine o'clock on Saturday nights. The fervour seems to be abating somewhat, though at a rc-cent meeting in Horeb Welsh Chapel the edifice, which holds 900, was filled. The Temperance Association, pasted a reso- lution calling upon the licensing justices to refuse applications for the re-opening of tap- rooms at the British and Castle Hotels. A proposal was brought forward at the Pree Church Council for ascertaining the number of recent converts to the churches, but it was negatived, one of the objections being that it was a repetition of David's sin in number- ing the people.

BRISTOL. I Sceptic's Conversion At the annual meeting of the Free Churches Council, the Rev. T. Ferri-er Hulme briefly addressed the meeting on the subject of the Welsh Revival. He "tifwd to the influence which the Revival had exerted in the direc- tion of making the ministers of all denomina- tions strive in unison for the one great object of combating sin. He rejoiced that in Bristol they had felt the spirit of t,he Revival, but it was, he said, only the beginning, and they should all, as co-workers for God, be faithful and persistent, and then they would eea far greater results than had yet been achieved. He related the remarkable inci- dents which accompanied the conversion of a, well-known Welsh sceptic, and referred to the extraordinary increase in Church mem-1 berohip in various districts of South Wales. -—————————————

BELFAST. I Prayers for Revival ( Since Monday last, under the auspices of j the Presbytery of Belfast, a united prayer meeting- has been held each day in Rosemary- street Church for intercession for seasons of refreshing in the different congregations of the Presbytery. Considerable interest has been manifeeited in the meetings, and- at each there has been a large attendance. On the, opening day the Rev. Charles Davey presided, a.nd at the subsequent meetings the chairmen were the Rev. W. J. Jackson, D. Purves, and Henry Montgomery. Prayers for a Revival1 in Belfast and Ireland ware offered. The meetings will be continued every day during the present week. I

BRYNMAWR By means of dinner hour moetings many ¡ have been reached who had been indifferent about attending places of worship on Sundays.

I BRYNCETHIN Thei services have now been held here nightly for fifteen weeks, and a. large num- ber of converts have been added to the Free Churchcs-tho Congregation al ista re- ceiving considenably the laxgeet addition. For tJtp sake of educating the young con- verts more especially and of making them more familiar with t.he Great Chaater, it has bean decided to have a Blible class for two nights in every week, and these classes are very largely attended.

CARDIFF. All the Free Churches in S.plott are active, a.nd large congregations meet night after night. Many converts are made. One hundred members have been added to one chapel alone, and rfifty more are waiting to join. Bethel Chapel, Docks Special Revival services are being continued in this chapel llig-htly, and Messrs. H. F. Gardener and J. H. Compton Hunt have been doing good work. Death Follows Conversion At a Revival service recently conducted by Miss Dash and Mr. Clifford Joshua at Swansea- 6trest, the meeting was testsd, when an eld-erly man kept seated. After a, little time, he walked out of the chapel. Mr. Joshua went after him and spoke a f-ew words to him concerning his soul, but he replied that he had made a vow not to have anything more to do with Christianity. On the party re-entering the chapel, the youngest eon was seen praying for his father's conversion, and he completely broke down. At the close of the meeting both missioners were invited to the house of the unfortunate man to hold a, li meeting. Everyone in the family was weep- ing bitterly. After a prayer by Mr. Joehua.1 and a few words of exhortation, the man in question broke down and prayed very hard for forgiveness. On Friday morning last he was going to work, as usual, and fell down, dea,d on the way. Thus he was converted on4y two days before death.

I CARNARVON Volunteer Missioners A corps of volunteer missioners, numbering 150, and consisting for the greater part of yonng lady members of the various Noncon- formist, churches of the town. baR undertaken a systematic house to house visitation of the whole of the slum area of the town, thus coming into direct personal contact with the class who never attend any place of worship. For the benefit of these people special ser. vices have been held. Porth Missionary The movement here has entered upon a period of renewed activity owing to the visit of the Rev. R. B. Jones, of Porth. whose work at Rhos a.nd An~!r :cy v«rtf«^ed with much success. od meetings have been held at Engedi Oha-pel and at the Guild-hall, and for the latter tickets were issued in order to secure the attendance <)f persons who were not regular worshippers at any church or chapel. Prior to the opening of the service a oaud of young people paid visits to various parts of the town for the purpose of inviting people-to attend the meeting.

I COLCHESTER Striking Scenes The Revival wave has reached Colchester, and many converts have been made. Miss M. Linton, evangelist, started the fire, and the meetings have been conducted on the lines of the Welsh Revival. Prayer and singing are continued at the meetings without a brea;k, and often after the meetings have been concluded people have been found cry- ing for salvation, and the meetings have been re-commenced and continued until a late hour. Midnight services have been held and street missions organised. At first the police stoped the singing in the streets, so the next time the Revivalists all took lamps, but the police have eince relaxed the regu- lations. Miany striking incidents have been witnessed. Men have come to the mceti-n-gs drunk, and women have also attended with bottles of liquor in their -pockets and under their arjns. One man who was converted when drunk brouglht his wife to make a full surrender. Many soldiers from the barracks are amoyg the converts. M'uch a successful mission has never before Ibeen held in the town. One nigiht a policeman said, with a sneer, to one of the workers who stood out- side a meeting at midffii'ght—'he did not know who she was—" Get inside and give your ihea-rt to God.' The reply, M-in, I have done that years ago, and never once regretted it," I sent the policeman away speechless. I

CWMCARN. Stop-tap Mission The meati-ngs conducted by Miss S. J. Hopkins, of Morriston, and Mr. R. J. Jones, of Pontaxdulais, have been the most success- ful ever held at Nazareth. Thoot place of worship has been crowded nightly for a fortnight. A spirit of devotion hias been manifest throughout, and ministers and friends have thrown themselves into the work with much enthusiasm. The Stop-Tap Mission has been the moa-ns of doing great good. A goodly number of converts have been made. I

DGWLAI8. I A Huge Bible Class At a recent prayer meeting, attended by no fewer than 214 persons, the proceedings resolved themselves into a huge B!ble Class, under the direction of the Rev. W. Ceinfryn Thomas, for the purpose of reading and expounding the Scriptures. The departure was much appreciated. This innovation will pos- sibly commend itself to other places of wor- ship.

DEVONSHIRE I Farmer's Vision At Blaokawton, the Western- Mercury" reports a. farm-or and Wesleyan local preacher, Mr. John Pea-ring, is conductiing a. series of special services. He declares that he has been called to the work, and that he bas consecrated himself to it. A number of other conversions are reported. Mr. Per- ring tcld the congregation that he had met with Aery severe losses through the death of hi-5 cattle, a.ad had also been in a. bad iitate of hrotlh. He could not understand it; but one nigiht he 'had a vision, and a voice told him he had to go to the village chapel and co-nd'uct a mission, and that he must be pre- pared to go wherever called and con.duct ser- vices. He fought against it; but eventually h3 did as the voice commanded.

EGRYN I Miè. Jones, the Duffryn seeress, has been 1 visiting 'the slate* mining district of Aber- I gynolwyn, where hundreds of quarrymen had gathered in order to hear her. She said that scientific men had oome down, to Eig-ryn in order to investigate the light, and placed; electric batteries on the ground. She thanked God that He did not disclose a supernatural light to those who oame down to investigate for curiosity's sake. No lights were seen during her visit. t

FOXDALE VILLAGE (ISLE OF I MAN). Revival services have been held in Foxdale Village We&leyan Cilapol for the 1a.st eight weeks. Great power has characterised the meetings, and about 80 conversions have been recorded. The oldest members of the society I' say it is 27 years since there has been su-ch a.n outpouring of the Spirit. The services, with the exception of the first two weeks, ha.ve been conducted by local brethren. I

GLASGOW. I Many Converts I The Revival is in full swing in Glasgow, I and any ni?hA prooœrions of young women« may be som &nd heard ma.rcMo? thrott?h I the different parts of the city, singing hymns and pealms with great fervour. In the Tent Hall of the United Evangelistic Association, and in some other halls, since the first week in January, a movement has been going on on the same lines- as tha-t in Waks. The meetings a.re larglely left to the audience, and are not dependent to any great exytent on the leaders. The people start -the hymns, and prayers are offered just as the Spirit moves the people; and preaching or giving addresses forms but a minor part of the proceedings. Very large numbers of men and women have been professing con- version. They are not confined to any par- ticular section, but embrace various grades I of BOciety-oome of the abandoned from slum env-ironmente, and some from suburbia. Dif- ferent cl-aeses are meeting in these oentres on common ground, and are evidently enter- ing with personal conviotion and enthusiasm into the work. Evan Roberts's Promise Mr. Anderson, of the Bible Training Insti- tute. states that Evan Roberts has promised to visit Glasgow towards the end of the present month. "Some doubted it," gays Mr. Anderson, "but his last letter makes it quite clear that he me-am; to come to the city. Last week he wrote stating that, owing to the pressure of engagements in Wales, he had not been able yet definitely to fix the date, but that as soon as he was able he would communicate with us." "There is no arrangement whatever," Mr. Anderson observed, "as to the n-afture of the meetings when he comes, but we judge it would be better to have the meetings in churches rather than in large halls. His style is better aclaptled for meetings that could be convened in ordinary-sized churches than in great buildings like St. Andrew's-hall. These smaller places are most suitable not only for his voice, but for his manner. His style is colloquial and conversational, and he does not attempt to sermonise or preach. He likes to talk to the people, and I don't think he would be heard half over a. large hall like St. Andrew's with his present method of address." "I formed a very high and favourable opinion of Mr. Roberts," added Mr. Anderson. "He is a sensible, level-headed young man. He certainly has ideas about the guidance of the Spirit that some people would think fanatical, and which probably contains elements of danger; but, so far, he has been safely guided, and there is not the slightest tendency to sensationalism or fanaticism about bim-a. quiet, sensible speaker."

GARNDIFFAITH The Great Problem The great problem of the day is how to keep the new converts together. A Christian endeavour movement has been started at Garn, and a.t several of the meetings it has been found necessary to turn the proceedings into a prayer meeting, owing to the large number of men and women coming to the meetings seeking Ohirist-. All the members are put on one or the other of "the many com- mittees, and small bands- of the members a.re divided up and go holding prayeir meetings a,t the cottages or in the streets. In fact, "We are too bu&y to think of going baek," one of them remarked. Another Evening Express Conversion A man who had been a drunkard, a gambler, a sweater, and, in fact, everything that was bad, told our correspondent that the Revival number of the "Evening Express" vnaa the means of leading him to Christ., He had no delight in reading any literature save novels and oomrlc and sporting papers, Sun- days and week-days, but one night whilst reading a novel he was attracted by the boys selling the Revival number of the Evening Express.' Having heard hie fellow workers ?peaking highly about tihe paper in the pit-, he said to his landlady, I'm going to have a -ha'pax'th of 'Revival Express' to- night." Returning to his house, be began to read the news of the district, and got so ii.,terested in the aocount? of the remarkabla conversions that had taken place at the (Ef. feirent meetings that he felt impelled to read aloud 10 his Landlady, who was so attracted that tihe left her work aiid sat down listening to him very attentively- At last he came to a passage of Scripture that especially rivetted hR' attention, and led him to take down his Bible, and there, he said, I found God's pro- nÚè;) to me (W-hosoever will, let him oome, &c.). Getting down on. his knees he tried to pray, and the first words that came to him were those of the prayer his mother taught ,b,im wheti a child at her knee, Gentle Jesus, meek and mild." He dressed and went to a prayer meeting, arriving just before the cl-ope, and to the surprise of his friends he made a full surrender to God.

HIRWAIN. The Evening Express Cartoons A feature of the meerting at Mount Pleasant English Congregational Chapel, Hirwain, on Saturday wa.8 an address by the Rev. E. Jones, dealing with the cartoon which appeared in a recent issue of the "Evening Express" d-epioting the Story of the Cross. The meeting was a very fine one. On Sim- day the Masses Olwen Davies and Keturah Williams attended the meetings, which were characterised by great fervour.

HAFODYRYNYS Although no special evangelist has visited this isolated village, some memorable meet- ings have been held. The Rev. D. R. Morgan, of Newport, had given the right hand of fellowship to seven persons at the Congrega- tional Church, when two men entered, one saying in a, trembling voice that he was a backslider. Both decided for the LoOrd, and praises ran through the chapel. The service did not conclude until nearly midnight.

HOPKINSTOWN. At Hopkinskmn, Pontypridd, whole families are being received at Trinity English Oal- vinistic Methodist Church, and remarkable scenes have been witnessed. Whole families have been received into the Church. A IDan and his wife surrende.red at a meeting at the infants' school, and a young womaii has just yielded there. I

LALESTON 1 Two brothers who had not been on speak- ing terms for many years have been brought l together and reconciled as a result of the Revival. The prayer of one of them at a meeting is said to have been most remark- a.ble.

LONDON I Wales Prayed For At a crowded meting at the Albert-hall, Dr. Torrey read a telegram he had just received from Briton Ferry, with the state- ment that Wales wa praying for London, and askimg London Christians to pray for Wales. Dr. Torry called upon some one to pray. We fa.iled (says a correspondent) to catch the came. but we &oon recognised the face, and especially the voic,it was the Rev. DaNid Young, D.D., late of Oa,rdiff. Mr. Young's voice rang out through the great haJl, and was heard distinctly by the great crowd. There was a Welshman praying, there was Welsh "hwyl" in evidence, and the great crowd responded all over the hall. Wales and the Great Revival was am inspiration to I the petitioner. The victories won in Wales, the drunkards reclaimed, the homes made f happy, the changed conditions were reasons for universal thanksgiving. He prayed for Evan Roberts, the ministers who had toiled hard and long without seeing the harvest, for the new converts. He prayed that London I might be blessed not with drops, but a. shower, not with sparks, but a baptisim of fire. That Dr. Torrey's mission would reach every home in London, and that beyond the bounds of organisation it might spread world- wide. Dr. Torrey and Mr. Alexander had a. good time.; and my Welsh, heart was strangely vtarmed.

I LLANELLY. Novel Development A singtilair application, was made a.t a meet-j ing of the Llanelly Health Committee, when a tradesman submitted a plan of a chapel, whiah he proposed to erect at the. back of his private residence, to accommodate 100 people. The plan, which was in accordance with the bye-laws, was paased. The tradesman stat-ed that the chapel would be of "no demxminar tioi whatever."

I LLANDRINDOD I Fifteen persons were recently baptised by I the Rev. James Jones, B.Sc., and at the close j of the ceremony he gave aai invit.ation to I any who wished to confess Jeeiis Christ as their personal Saviour. Two men stepped forward from different parts of the chapel ¡ and were immersed, the congregation brvrak- ■ ing into songs of praises. The fervour was I intense, and in response to a further invitation six more converts oame forward.

I LIVERPOOL A Visitor's Impressions A Liverpooa man who visited one of the moatiaigs of Evan Roberts was much impresksad by what he saw. He d-eacribes it as a wonderful meeting, which differed mate mall y from every Revival he had ever experienced before, either in Liverpool or elsewhere. It was a strange, never-to-be- forgotten experience, baffling description. I The meeting was announced to commence at six p.m., but the doors were opened soon aft-er three, and the visitor arrived there at 3.30, determined to secure a seat whence he could survey the -whole proceedings from beginning to end, and which occupied six hours, until the maeting was over at 9.30. In fact, it would have been almost a miracle to got out of it, so densely packed was the chapel. The building might have seart.e,d about 1,250, but the audience was dcuble that number, every inch of standing room being taken up, and hundreds failing to get in at all. There were strajigers there from all parts of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and some from Fraum Italy, ^Jolland, Germany, United States, and South Africa.. The meet- ings from four to seven were carried on almost spontaneously by the audieuce with- out a leader in a marvellous manner by singing enthusiastically well-known Welsh hymns. There were perfect order and har- mony throughout.

I LEEDS. I j Three converts of Mr. Evan Ro'bert.s'-MeæJ'$ T. Matthews and Treharne and another from A herd are—have been conducting a mission in Leeds. Describing one of the mid-dci-, meet- ings, a Leeds paper say. -The m- ds are those experienced at Re"iv:;i in^a-tings all over the country, except that the audience are encouraged to take the entire manage- ment into their own hands. Anybody can lead in prayer, start a hymn, or offer 'testi- mony," and in cases where the prayerful penitent proclaims himself a brand plucked from the burning many "Hallelujahs" resound through the building. Compared with the doings in Wales, however, yester- day's proceedings must have seemed not very irbspirin,g-a, kind of afterglow of "the many great lights," whioh the leader of the trio, Mr. T. Matthews, says determined his mission to Leeds. Mr. Treharne, his colleague, is a more curious product of the Revival at Aberdare. He told the audience that he used to sing comic songs in a public-house, and thought he was happy, but since his con- version he had had "a good shaking,' and hoped some of his hearers might have ecsne of "this divine feeling." as it was simply "glorious." Mr. Matthews declared that the Revival had saved the worst specimens of humanity in Wales—"the scum of the earth." AJberdare had been "drink sodden." "buried im sin"; but to-day was a sober town, and the satme transition could be wrought by the same powers everywhere.

I MERIONETHSHIRE The Mysterious Lights Police-constable Jones, of Byffryn, has an interesting tale to tell of how he gaw the phenomenon near Dyffryn. -He had been to a conference with another constable, when, a few hundred yards on the Dyffryn side of E-gryn Chapel, he saw a flashing light on the road. He at first thought it was a bicycle lamp, but he was soon disillusioned by see- ing the light on the top of the will on the leftdiaind side and radiating in all directions. The flash lighted up the spot as if it were midday. There rose also from the top of the wa.11 three columns of fire of brilliant copper- colour, each of them about three feet in ,height and about six inches wide. The con- stable, as befitted his occupation, boldly approached the light, which, however, sud- denly disappeared. Being without super- stition, nor, perhaps, devout en-o-ugh to believe in supernatural phenomena, the con- stable inquired at the next farm whether any of the occupants bad just then been out of doors with a lantern or an open lamp, but none had been, and to Police-can-stable Jones, as to many more of the residents of that district, the Egryn lights remain a mystery.

I MILFORD HAVEN I United prayer meetings have been held regularly by the Nonconformists with gratify- ing results, and a large mum/ber of converts have been made. I

I NEWQUAY I Origin of the Movement An indignant Newquayite, writing in reference to some- ridiculous tilings that have been sa.id about the origin of the Revival in a weekly periodical, says:—In the first place, it is stated that it is to a Welsh servant girl that the movement owes its origin. This is entirely erroneous, as from persomal knowledge I know she is not a ser- vant girl, but the daughter of parents in very good circumstaaices. It is then said thlat, tihe fh"'ll first buret out in a cold atnd austere little tin chape-l in a, Cardigan- shire yiliage," and that the people are a mane handful of miners and labourers, ser- vant girls and the wives of the men. What a gross perversion of the truth, and what ignorance of geography! There are no tin chapels in Newquay, neither are there any for miles around. The people are not a "mere bia/ndful," far the membership of the ohapel i,n question exceeds 400, amd the mapority of these are regular attendants. There are no mines of a-ny description in Cardiganshire now. Formerly there were a few lead mines in the northern part of the country, but these are not now working. It is also mentioned that the people are all hard toilers for a. inexe wage, with little pleasure or sunshine in their lives." It is needless to attempt to refute such insLnuar tions.

NEWPORT I Great Western Railway Mr. George Clark, at a meeting at the Temperance-hall, said that the annual report of the local Y.M.C.A. for the year showed that the donations amounted to only P94 Os. 9d. The great need in South Wales at the present, when the Revival was so strong, was something between the public-house and the Church for young oonverts. The Rev. G. Evans, of Newport, preaching at Blaina on "How To Prepare for a Revival, and How to Retain Those Brought Within Its influence," said tha.t mere legislation, how- ever wise and progressive, could never bring about the ethical Revival we needed; it could only be brought about by a great spiritual upheaval and quickening. A true ethical Revival must be the outcome of a true spiritual Revival. R-evivals were brought about by the Spirit through human instru- meIlltality and in answer to prayer; they had their origin at the throne of grace. To what could the present Revival be traced? Cer- tainly to Joo hrana-n organisation, or com- j miboth were conspicuous by their ab-sence-but, to the earnest prayer of God's people. The Revival has made a very great mark in the lives of most*people, and of la.te. the wave has rashed with foroe amongst ra-ilwayimen. Some of those who have been brought to serve the Lord have banded them- selves together and formed a Ratlwaymen's Mission, meetings of which have been held for an hour on Sunday afternoone. About a week ago twenty-four young men, who had been converted met together in one of the workshops of the railway, and hold a prayer and testimony meeting. The Revival spirit was very prominent. The meeting was held to discuss the ways and means of having a. mission amongst young firemen, and it was decided to commence services on the Sunday afternoon following. It was anticipated that there would be only about a similar number present at the second service, but, to the surprise of all, about seventy-five men and one young lady gathered to worship in a. very small ca.bin. Some spontaneous singing took place for about fifteen minutes, when the chairman requested a little prayer. There were maaiy who praised God for the manner in which He was now revealing Himself to His servaaits. An earnest address was delivered during the afternoon by Master George Foster, the boy preacher of Newport, who is only sixteen years of age. The dis- course was based on Is-aiah liii. 3. He is despised and rejected of The speaker referred to the many thousands who thought nothing of the Christ Who died for them. After a very enjoyable and helpful service, which included much testimony from con- verts, one young man came out for the Lord.

I NORTH WALES I Delirious Ecstacy In one of the North Wades towns where Revival impressions have been deep and general, a band of young men locked them- selves in a chapel vestry, and towards mid- night the neighbourhood was aroused by frantic cries proceeding from the building. Entrance was obtained by a door through a seldom-used passage, and the youths, ranging in age from eighteen to 25, were founa in a state approaching delirious ecstacy. They were with difficulty prevailed upon to go home.

PENCOED The converts during the last three months number over 250.

PONTYPRIDD I At one or me meetings two young men left displeased at an incident that had occurred, and subsequently a minister offered advice, Whan pleading fails," he said, to bring anyon.e to decision, then we should plead I with God to do the work." A chorus of I" Aniens followed.

PONTYCYMMER The valley has undergone a traiisformar ftion, fend instead of being called Ga-rw Valley it should be re-named Dyffryn Teg.

PONTYPOOL Mr. Sydney Evans and Mr. Sam Jenkins will be at Bathany, Pont new yn-ydd, on Thursday and Friday in this week. Seventy converts have been enrolled during the Rev. Seth Joshua's month's mission at, St. David's-hall, Pontypool. The Rev. Watkin \Y,¡.lli3JllB; Cardiff, is the pastor-elect for the I new hall. Some of the Church-es at Pontypool are following the example of Pen art h in allotting batches of converts to the charge of various members, who are held responsible for their attendance at meetings of the Churches, and are to be called upon to report progress periodically. The Rev. Seth Joshua has just brought to a close a most successful mission at St. David s-hall, Pontypool. With the exception of one week's visit to North Pembrokeshire, he has conducted Revival services every evening during the month of February in his native town. The hall has been well filled every night, and the missioner's addresses have been highly appreciated and were productive of much good. At the Tabernacle Baptist Chapel, Ponty- pool, the young converts are being well shepherded. In view of the fact. that services will presently become lesa frequent, rambling and cycling clubs are being formed in con- nection with the Church, and it has also been arranged tha;t t-be vestry shall be thrown open as a reading-room, the pastor (the Rev. He-nry David) having signified his willingness II to provide magazines and daily papers.

PORTHCA WL. I Praise for the Press The Fev. William Lloyd, of Llaiitwit ilardre, preaching at Bethel, Torthcawl, said he thau k-ed God for the influence of the press, which had done much for the Revival. The Word had got into the columns of the daily papers, and they had done much to spread the holy fire, for they entered homes where entrance was denied to the ministers of the Gospel. Many homes had been made bapipy by the knowledge thus conveyed to them.

PLYMOUTH. I A Chat with Evan Roberts I met Evan Roberts at Hirwain, (writes a Plymouth minister), and spent some time with him in t,he house of his host. He had just returned from a moorland walk. An Oxford student who accompanied him related a very pathetic incident which had taken place. As they were walking along the "Wain" they came across a number of boys skating on the pond. The Revivalist called to them and asked Can you sing Tlirow out the life- line'?" They answered, "Yes, we can." Now, then, sing it reverently and prayer- fully." Without a moment's hesitation the twelve boys were on their knees singing with intense earnestness. Evan Roberts abhors the professional interviewer, and the conversa- tion I had with him will not bear to be paraded before the public gaze in the form of an interview. I walked into his room with- out any introduction. He was alone, partak- ing of a plain mid-day meal. There was a small pocket Bible open before him, which he consulted many times during our inter- view. He talked very freely. There was no claim of any superiority. He could not have been more unassuming when he was a collier than he was that day. There was no diffe7r- ence between his talk in that quiet room and his talk in the pulpit. One paramount, and tangible characteristic of his whole life is an irresistible belief in prayer and the reality of the guidance of the Holy Spirit in all things. Accidentally, I said: There are thousands praying for you all over the world." "Ah!" said he, "this great: Revival does not depend on me. That is the! mistake. You all think of me, and all pray for me. God is as near to you as He is to me. Believe it. amd pray that your Churches may receive His power-the power of His love,"

RHOS. I Visitors to the Revival meetings continue to I pour in from the Lake District, Rockferry, Birkenhead, Liverpool, and the adjoining dis- trictB.

STRATFORD. Army's Good Work The first echo of the Revival in a London pouc-e-court was heard when Samuel Bowman, a Woodford labourer, who was "wanted" for deserting his wife and family, gave himself up. I aID reformed now," he said, "a:nd will look after them in future. The Revival has got hold of me." A Salvation Army officer stated he was convinced that the man had really reformed. He (the officer) would defray all the expenses the guardians haod been put to-orer 15--and would help Bowman generally out of his taxwrble. Arrangement* will be jnade to-this -end.

I SMETHWICK. Remarkable Incidents Mr. William Norwell has just concluded a sttoceeaful mission. Men and women have yielded their bealrte to God During the tPn days that the mission lasted over 200 names -of those who sought help were taken in the inquiry rooms, whilst 135 signed the tem- perance pledge a.nd 175 lads signed the anti- tobacco pledge. Some of the services wifl never be forgotten. People were saved in their pews. whilst others came out, before the sermon was preached amd gave their beaa-ts to God. Miany prayers have been answered. A young lady in the choir was saved oo-e night, and the next she stood up and sang "I stood ontside the gate," and many were deeply moved. A deaf a.nd dumb woman was amongst -thooe who signed the temperance pledge. The closing service was one of great power, and after a minister had spoken api),recietively of Mr. Norwell's work the audience joined in singing the farewell hymn, "God be with you till we meet again."

TREOEGAR A twelve days' mission has been held at the Troedrhiwgwaar Primitive Methodist Chapel, near Tredegar, and have proved a veritable light in dark places. Many grand instances characteristically beautiful of con- versions through prayer have been brought about- Mission services are being conducted at Park-place Chapel, Tredegar, this week. A very successful mission is being con- ducted at the Primitive Methodist Church, Troedrhiwgwair, Tredegar, by Mr. Richard Nash, of Newcastle-on-Tyne. The meetings are largely attended, and a great- amount of good is being accomplished in the locality. Over thirty conversions a.re announced up to tho present.

TROEDYRHIW, I..1 I i ne oearcnngnis Pla-ces of worship are filled with congrega- tions, and the Revival continues to have good effect, especially in St. John's Church. United meetings are held on the Square each evening, and is doing a lot. of good, Miss Kate Jones being the life and &Gul of the open- air meetings. Miss Jones is the conductress of the Troedyrhiw Juvenile Choir, and le;is the singing with great effect- One incident occurred at the united meating which is worth repeating. A lot of young fellows con- gregated round the Revivalists and were talk- ing of football. Someone approached them and asked them if they were members. "Yes," replied one, a member of the "Search- lights" (a, football t-ea,ml. "We, too, are m-embc-rs of the Searchlights, said the former—"no-t Troedyrhiw 'Searchlights.' but God's searchlights." A few more words, and the young footballers were seen in placcs of worship the following day.

TRAWSFYNYDD Prayer Meeting at a Funeral At a funeral at Trawsfynydd, in Merioneth- shire, a remarkable scene was witnessed. After the interment the mourners and their friends proceeded to the chapel attached to the burial ground for the purpose of holding the customary religious service. Scarcely, however, had the minister, the Rev. H. D Jones, commenced his address when a brother of the deceased came forward to the "set fawr" and fell upon his knees in prayer. The pathos of the scene deeply affected the remainder of Lboae present, and the feeling was intensified when .another brother followed the first, saying that this was the only occa- sion on which he had taken personal pa.rt in public prayer. The incident is said to be abso- lutely without precedent.

TON exceptional activity prevails in Ohuroh circles ait Ton. Services of a fervent char- acter arc held every night, and there have been altogether about 50 members added to the Parish Chiurcli.

VARTEG Services are held at a.11 the Churches every night. One of the first converts says that he has saved enough money sin-oe the Revival began to buy two suite of olotbes. The public-house trade is diminishing.

WREXHAM. A woman travelling to a Revival meeting at Wrexham lost L2 10s. It is supposed that,, taking advantage of the opportunities, some Liverpool piek eta bad been at work.

GENERAL Rev Guinness Rogers and Evan Roberts Speaking of the Revival, the Rev. J. Guinness Rogers, D.D., sa-ys:-Ev,%n Roberts, of course, stands out as the prominent figure. The work began with him, and owes ,very muoh to his self-sacrificing zeal. I have I not been able to go down to Wales and attend any of these meetings, and I have no per- sonal knowledge of this groat worker. But I have read a. great deal and I have heard I still more. That he is a man of extraordinary spiritual magnetism I cannot doubt, but he seems hardly to have the qualities which we should most expect in the leader of a. j great spiritual awakening. There is one exception, and that a very noteworthy one. He is not, if I am to judge from accounts, an exceptionally lucid expositor of Scripture, nor is he a particularl-y striking preacher, certainly not one of those orators who I' hold audiences and individuals spell-bound I by their eloquence. If he is to be judged by t amy of them standards, the result of his 1 work must be pronounced absolutely unin- telligible. Bu"iid there is everything in this but-he is like Barnabas of old, a good man full of fadtlh and of the Holy j Ghost." His faith may travel further into the regions of mysticism than I aim able to r follow, but of its reality, of its power, and of the power which it gives him over others, I can have no doubt. I No Mere Illusion It is almost impossible for the most critical mind to treat the remarkable spiritual movement in Wales as a mere illusion (writes the Rev. J. Guinness Rogers, D.D., in the Daily Chronicle.") Men maY speak of it as an outburst of sheer fanatic- ism, and explain it away by a reference to the emotionalism of the Welsh character. They may regard it as an irrational, and, in some cases, even dangerous, diversion of men's thoughts from more prosaic but not less necessary subjects. Above all. they may treat it as a mere passing phenomenon which will soon be forgotten, aDd which may possibly send in a reaction of a. most unfortunate kind. Observations of this kind have been sufficiently abundant, but they really avail very little to a right under- standing of the great problem aJbout which they hover, but winch they do not touch. The facts are there, and the expression of the feeling with which the superior person regards them neither accounts for them nor explains thein away. They constitute what is naturally described as a Revival. The game name may be applied to them as to the extraordinary gatherings of the Torrey- Alexander Mission, but the differences between tbam are certainly as numerous and remarkable as the resemblances. In all the incidents of their history, in the instrumen- tality they employ, in their absolutely unconventional mode of procedure, and, per- haps, a;?ve all, in their singular indepen- dence of any single worker, they stand out alone amd separate from those Revivals to wwch we have been most aocustomed. Thear spontaneity, their diversity in methods of work, their apparently absolute freedom from a slavish deference to tradition or precedent I are very marked features, and, judging from the history of similar movement, the very Last we ehejild baIre expected.

fTHE REV. EVAN pmLlIPS I NEWCASTLE-EMLYN. Of all^the Nonconformist urinis-ters- of WiataB, no one is better known or held in higher | esteem than the Rev, Eva.n Ehiaiipg, of New. caertle-Emlya, whose portrait appears in our Revival number to-day. Mr. Phillips is a. native of Gapel Drindod. (piaxje famioue in the annals of Caivinistio Methodism, -too which denomiaatiott ha belongs. What his age exactly is it is difficult to say, for, though he wears a. ■ patriarchal look, his eye is not dim nor hia natural force abated. His heart and hia spirit are young. ajid can never grow old. He was a. popular preacher 45 years ago, land came into notice in connection with the Revival of 1859-60, when he and the Rev. David Morgan, of YspyttJty, Cardiganshire, travelled up and down Wales, spreading the sacred fire as they went. Mr. Phillips is, therefore, an interesting ii-nk between that Revival and the present movement. Indeed, it was in school at New oastlenEmlyn with Mr. John Phillips (the Rev, Evan Phillips g son) Mr. E-van Roberts ww when he began to see visions and dream drea.ms. The Rev. Evan Phillips is one of the great guns" of his denomination, a-nd is an ex- I Moderator. But he is more than a minister —he is a philosopher and a poet. PhiJosophy and poetry were never turned into better account than in the sermons of this old man eloquent, whose only fault is their brevity. He seldom exceeds the twenty minutes' limit. The story goes that one of his deacons once made a wager that Mr. Phillips could not prea.ch for thirty minutes, but the deacon lost the pound easily, and was only too gl.ad to pay it. Mr. Phillips is an ornamenit to the Christian ministry and to Wales, and everybody prays thait his shadow may never grow less: His friends are now moving with a view of pre- sentinig him with a. testimonial, and it is safe to say that it will be worthy of the man and of the Welsh people He is a national possession, a.nd his testi- monial should assume a national character.

Painful Incident AT A CARMARTHEN REVIVAL I MEETING. I Pastor's Wife Swoons and Dies. A revival meeting held at the vestry of the Philadelphia Congregational Chapel, near Carmarthen, ended in a painfully tragic manner. Mrs. Morgan, wife of the pastor (the Rey. T. W. Morgan), had taken part in prayer at the commencement of the meeting. and towards the close of the proceedings she began to give her testimony. Taking the uncertainties of this lito as her theme, she said that the thought sometimes occurred tc her that she was quite young enough, and that there would be plenty of time for her later on to speak publicly on religious matters. When enlarging upon this thought she was seen to swoon and fall into the arms of another female worshipper, and all evi- dence seems to show that death ensued almost instantaneously. The suddenness of the sad occurrence startled the worshippers, who were mostly womn. The deepest sympathy is extended to the bereaved pastor, who is left with five motherless children. Mrs. Morgan was subject to a heart affection.

Cardiff Church Mission. A MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF MISSIONER Although the missioners who conducted the Revival services at Canton, Cardiff, have gone back to their hQmes. the religious I enthusiasm still remains. The three' churches were crowded at each service 011 Sunday. At St. John's Church the extraordinary- scenes of last Sunday evening wero repeated, every available space being occu- pied by worshippers. The rector, the Rev. D. Davies. who delivered an eloquent address, announced from the pulpit that he had received a message from the Rev. Langford Brown (the chief missioner) exhorting all intending candidates for confirm.ation to make up their minds and come forwaard at once to receive that sacred rite. The rector also announoed that in future a monthly intercession service would be held on Sun- day evenings, starting from that evening, im mediately after the ordinary service.

A DORSET TESTIMONY. To the Editor of the Evening Expresp." Sir,—My wife and I ooving reoontlr, returned from a memoraible visit to South Wales, I should like, through your valuable paper, to express our high appreciation of the uniform kindness and generous hospitality received everywhere we went. This charac- teristic' warmheartedness, extended to many strangers beside ourselves, is, doubtless, one element in producing the congenial soil in which the Holy Ghost now works so mightily, Por the sake of those who, like myself, art taking time from a. busy life in order to see the Revival, in hope thereby to become bettei servants of Jesus Christ, permit me to recom- mend that while hearing others they hear Mr. Sydney Evans and Mr. Saan Jenkins (the Welsh Sankey), with their helper (Miss Morgan). Of the eighteen meetings attended in various parts of the country, the meetings conducted by Mr. Evans and his helpers were those where, in my opinion, power from on high moat reeted upon the people, and where, without doubt, the largest ioilgatherings took., place night after nigiht. For helpful inspira^ tion a.nd power these gatherings excelled all others. Hoping this may be of service to someone, and thanking you for the oomtinued help you render in your columns to the movement,- I am, Ac., I am, Ac., R. BOYD MOiRRISON (Baptist Minister). Upper Parkstone, March 4.

LEAD, KINDLY LIGHT" Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom, Lead Thou me on" The night is dark, and I am far from home; Lead Thou me on. Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see The distant scene; one step enough for me. I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou Shonldst lead me on; I loved to ohoose and see my path: but now Lead Thou me on; I loved the garish da.ye, and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years! So long Thy power hath blest me, sure it etill Will lead me on O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till The night i6 gone: And with the mom those angel-faces smile Which I have loved long since, and lost while.
