On Thursday evening, Dec. 3rd, after a discourse to a crowded congregation, the ordinance of baptism was administered by Mr W. C. Ellis, when seven believers thus put on Christ The work of the Lord continues to prosper here, and several who were notoriously wicked characters have been led by the Holy Spirit to make a surrender of themselves to the Lord Jesus. Many others are enquiring the way to Zion.

Eight more were baptised in March.
It is difficult to judge a revival from such a short report, however the used words and the fact that our biggest revival ever began soon afterwards, leads me to think that a move of God was going on here.
