A few young Christian men having invited Mr Alexander, a working man from London, who has been labouring in Whitchurch for a few weeks, to come to this town, he held meetings in the town hall on Tuesday, December 31 and in the congressional chapel on January 1 and on Tuesday the seventh in the Wesleyan Chapel. His labours at each place were crowned with abundant success and our own had such a stirring as have not been felt for some time before. Upwards of 20 profess to have found peace through believing in Christ and many more went away convinced.
