ABSTRACT
Some divine interpositions in his behalf prove that the God of Elijah still lives. He formerly was a school-teacher in this place. Though as fully patronized as he could reasonably expect, he was just able to meet the daily demands on his purse, and unable to lay up as much as five pounds; and it having been decided that there should be a British school, aided by government funds, commenced, he saw no way to provide for himself and family. The place seems filled with the awful presence of God. Solemnity, deep and impressive as eternity, is depicted on every countenance. The expression of every face, young and old, professors and non-professors, ministers and laymen, seems to say, “Surely God is in this place.” A local preacher was the first to hasten to the communion-rail, and was the first to receive “the tongue of fire.”.
