Penuel Roch, Pembrokeshire. - I intended oftentimes to give you an account of the revivals in the lower parts of Pembrokeshire. I shall endeavour to send you one next month.
The same religious feeling exists in the churches, the prayer meetings are very numerously attended on weeknights, and on the sabbath days the chapels are crowded to excess, and some are saying- "We will also go with you, for the Lord is with you." On Lord's-day, Jan. 22nd, a very interesting scene was witnessed at Roch Bridge. Although it was a very stormy morning and exceedingly cold, multitudes of people were seen wending their way from every direction toward the place. The members had met at an early hour in the chapel, earnestly beseeching the blessing of God on the proceedings of the day. Mr Owens, of Middle Hill immersed twelve believers on a profession of their faith in Christ, being the greatest number baptized at this place since the chapel was erected. The service was solemn and impressive, one of the candidates having but one arm. and another went down into the water by the aid of his crutch.
Mr. Owens solemnly reminded the spectators of these facts, and asked how long some of them, who were not maimed like these, would delay to give themselves body and soul to God? More candidates are waiting for the same privilege. May the Lord continue to smile upon us. And may these be enabled to continue to the end and be saved.
