Again did the Most High come down as rain upon the mown grass ; again did the skies pour down righteousness, thereby communicating more life to the Church, and a capacity to the world to receive that life. The first indications of God's special power were seen in Newark, in connection with the sacrament of the Lord's Supper, which had been preceded by a day of fast- ing and prayer. "The work," says Dr. Griffin, " exceeds all that I have every seen, in point of power and stillness and num- bers ; between two and three hundred con- verts." In describing the revived state of the Church in Newark, Judge Boudinot says, in a letter to a friend, " It has extend- ed to Elizabeth-town, Rahway, Springfield, North and South Hanover, Caldwell and Bloomfield. Yesterday I was informed that the same blessed work had begun in Mor- ristown, where about fifty are under con- viction." Of this movement Dr. Richards says, "It is deep and effective. To my latest breath I shall remember how some of the dear people of God appeared to feel and agonize in thetr supplications before the Lord, when imploring his gracious pre- sence in the midst of us. Between seventy and eighty were added to the Church in that and the subsequent year, who dated their conversion from this interesting period." The Synod thus alludes to this gracious outpouring : "The revivals of religion have been most remarkable within the bounds of the Presbytery of New York. There the kingdom of Satan appears to have been greatly shaken ; combinations against re- ligion have been destroyed ; prayer-meet- ings on the Sabbath, and religious societies on other days, have been established in many places and well attended. Many per- sons grossly immoral in their conduct, and some distinguished for their zeal in pro- moting deistical principles, have been ar-

rested by the influences of the Spirit, and hopefully converted. During the year past, within the bounds of the Presbytery, more than 1,100 have been added to the commu- nion of the Church ; the greater portion of whom are young persons."

Whilst thus alluding to these distinctive years of the right hand of the Most High, in which the stream of divine influences communicated greater fertilizing power to the moral waste through which it ran, I wish in no way to overlook the gentle flow- ing of the water of life, that noiselessly im- parted increased activities to the Church, that slaked the thirst of some wearied spirit, or removed here and there the fever- ish desire of the sin-burdened soul. In both ways has God wrought wonders in Zion ; in each is his creative agency felt, and in each has he acted like himself. Scarcely a year passed by without souls being renovated and transformed by his sovereign love and power ; and on several communions, besides the notable cases referred to, there were large and important accessions to the Church, revealing to us God's watchful care and loving remembrance of the vine under whose branches we have been privi- leged to sit, and thereby laying us under the deepest obligations to do everything for it that will increase its efficiency, beauty, growth and power. Oft did our fathers sing, "The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad ;" oft did they say of this sanctuary, "Peace be within thy walls and prosperity within thy palaces. Because of the house of the Lord our God we will seek thy good."

This Church had by such means grown in strength and moral power, so that we hear the successor of Dr. Richards saying, " I have, indeed, a weighty charge ; nearly as large as that of any two ministers with- in the bounds of the county." It then cov- ered a region occupied by 520 families, and now supplied by eight evangelical Churches. Dr. Fisher, the third pastor, was installed in 1809, and during the first year of his min- istry more than twenty persons were ad- mitted to Church privileges. In 1813 forty were received, and about forty the succeed- ing year; the membership of the Church being at this time 360.

Soon after this Dr. Wm. A. McDowell en- (To be continued.)

BY THE REV. DAVID IRVING, D.D.,

tered upon the pastoral office, which he fill- ed for more than nine years ; being blessed in his work and proving a blessing to others. In the year following his settle- ment his own heart was gladdened, the graces of the people strengthened, and the number of the sacramental host of God's elect increased by an addition of fifty to the Church ; some of whom remain to this day, though the greater number have fallen asleep. From this period to 1822 there were yearly accessions to this Zion ranging from seven to thirteen; then the Most High made bare his arm for the deliverance of his chosen from the dominion of Satan. This was the most extensive revival with which the congregation had ever been visited ; and yet, after the most diligent search and inquiry, I can find no prepared account of this special outpouring, and but little from living witnesses who can only recall the general impression made on them.

Previous to tlre spring of 1822, there were no hopeful signs of God's reviving power. But then, on a pastoral visit to a family of his charge in Littleton, Dr. McDowell found great tenderness and weeping on the part of its inmates, preceded, as he soon discov- ered, by great wrestling with God on the part of the parents .in the night watches, for God's blessing on Zion. And here it is an interesting fact, that the parents of the head of this house were brought to Christ through the instrumentality of the first pas- tor of this Church ; the father caring for none of these things, and the mother at- tached to the Society of Friends; the hus-

band was first converted and then the mother publicly confessed her faith in Christ in the old Church. The son never forgot the kindness and efforts of Dr. Johnes ; he was brought to Christ under the ministry of Dr. Johnes' successor, and he was now permitted to see the Spirit striving with his own children, and to re- joice in it as the commencement of a re- markable work of grace. Among the fruits was a son who is now laboring as a mis- sionary in the West. Of his family and des- cendants there are sixteen now in connec- tion with this Church alone.

The much desired inquiry, What must I do to be saved ? intensified the longings of the pastor and of the people of God. Means of grace were multiplied ; neighboring pas- tors were called in, to proclaim saving truth and direct the anxious to the Lamb of God. Many impenitents were arrested by the gospel and awakened to concern for their souls. The drunkard was reclaimed, and is to-day a trophy of redeeming love. The profane saw new power in the names of God and of Christ. The worldling let go his hold upon earth, and, with streaming eyes and warm heart, rejoiced in heavenly rich- es. The careless professor was quickened ; the yearning spirit felt a nearness to God never before experienced; estrangements were healed; past misconduct mourned over; and heaven was brought nearer to many souls. As a result of this gracious outpouring, there was an ingathering into Zion of nearly one hundred and fifty. As- sociated with this, we find, from the Gen- eral Assembly's narrative, that the sur- rounding Churches shared largely in the work ; Hanover, Rockaway, Chatham, Baskingridge, and Hackettstown.

Soon after this, partly on account of im- paired health, Mr. McDowell resigned his charge, and in due time was succeeded by Mr. Barnes, who was frequently cheered and incited to diligence by finding that his labors were not in vain in the Lord. He had much to contend with ; but firm, de- cided and resolute, he went forward in his work, dealing with sin in its varied forms, and showing its opposedness to God, wheth- er committed by the believer or the unbe- liever. During the winter of 1827 and the spring and summer of 1828, Mr. Barnes

delivered a series of sermons on the great doctrines of the cross and the character of the Redeemer. The only marked effect of these discourses was, at first, an increased attention on the means of grace, a deepen - ed interest in preaching, and a manifested seriousness among the people. This con- tinued for some time, without anything more than the ordinary means of grace, un- til the quarterly meeting of the Church pre- vious to the communion. Of this meeting says Mr. Barnes, in a letter to myself, " Per- sonally I had feelings which I had never had before, and which I have never exper- ienced since. I went to the meeting with no unusual emotions, and with no expecta- tion of any special interest ; but there was something about it which wholly overcame me. I spent a considerable part of the meet- ing in tears, and my emotions were shared by a considerable part of the congregation pre- sent, and all felt there was the presence of a higher power." A prayer was offered at that meeting by a member of this Church, (Mr. Enslee, an elder,) that "came nearer to inspiration," says the pastor, "than any- thing that I ever heard from human lips ; so fervent, so tender, so full of faith, so de- voted, so much of the Spirit; which I then thought must belong to heaven, and never since have I heard such a prayer."

This meeting was the manifestation of the beginning of the revival. Soon the whole community was affected ; town and country were alike awakened, and all bent upon one common object .- to give heed to the inter- ests of eternity. To meet this state of feeling an increased number of religious services was deemed advisable. These were mostly con- ducted by the pastor, assisted by a neigh- boring minister or by the eldership of the Church. For a period of three months there were services of some kind nearly every evening, in which no other measures than the simple presentation of the truth were employed. So widespread and general was the feeling, that the farmer left his farm and the merchant his store, to attend upon the services of the sanctuary ; and, when the hour for evening service arrived, nearly all, if not every, store was closed. The meetings were first held in the Lecture- room ; but this soon became too strait for (To be continued.)
