METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH From the November number of the Missionary Advocate, we glean the following facts: Rev. C. Willeruss, under date of August 24, writing from Copenhagen, reports an interesting condition of things-one convert-and says, Brother Peterson writes from Sparsburg that the work of God is progressing there. AFRICA Rev. B. R. Wilson writes from Greenville, Sinou, Liberia, July 17, 1858: -- “Since my return from Conference 54 souls have professed faith in Christ, and have joined the Church as probationers. There has also been an uncommon hunger and thirst for righteousness awakened in the Church. The female members of the Church have been especially useful during the revival. Bluntsville has also been visited with a gracious refreshing.” Rev. F. Burns, who arrived in Baltimore September 16th, wrote on board the ship “Mary Caroline Stevens,” off Foga, Cape de. Vend Islands, Aug. 20, 1858: To the Corresponding Secretary: Dear Brother — I left the mission on the 8th inst., after having heard from or seen every part of it; and am happy in being able to say, that all the missionaries were well, with the exception of sister Hazzard at White Plains, and sister Williams at Cape Mount. Both of these were indisposed from attacks of African fever, but neither so sick as to awaken apprehension. We have had the misfortune to lose one of our mission pupils at White Plains, of pulmonary consumption, a biographical sketch of whom I send forward. The Commission November 1858 p. 149
