There is an extraordinary revival now progressing among our Methodist friends under the direction of their zealous and devoted pastor, Rev. G. G. Brooke. About forty-five have made a profession of religion and a large number are presenting themselves as "anxious enquirers." This revival influence has pervaded the Wesleyan Institute to such an extent that we learn there are now only two or three in the Institute who are not professors of religion.
