reprobate servant was pierced to the heart, and cried out in the most affecting manner for pardoning mercy and renewing grace. In a little time after, the good work became more general, until at length all denominations in the neighborhood caught the flame. The worst of characters were conquered, and scoffers ceased to scoff. Methodists, Baptists, and Independents felt the heavenly flame. The revivals did not stop in that part of the country, but soon appeared in a line from Cilycwm to Lamortyd, and even as far as Builth. Landovery, Landilo, and many other places, were visited in a similar manner. There were also great revivals in Glamorganshire, especially at Cwmllynfell, Neath, Morriston, Mynyddback, and Swansea. Mr. Evans, of Mynyddback, in December last, received above 200 persons to communion. During the last two months, above 600 have been admitted to the fellowship of the Independent church at Morriston, including those on probation. The moral change which has already taken place in the neighborhood of Swansea and Morriston is truly great. As a friend of mine was returning one evening, about a month back from Lansamlet to Swansea, he could hear nothing on the road but singing of hymns and repeating portions of Scripture, even by those persons whom he had seen a few Sunday evenings before dancing and rioting. Instead of quarrelling and fighting, as usual, they now return from their work in peace and harmony, congratulating each other on the great things which the Lord hath done for them. I am not in possession of a correct account of the numbers added to the Baptist and Calvinistic Methodist churches; but you may depend on the correctness of the following list of additions made to the following Independent churches since the commencement of the revival: The general opinion is, that upwards of 3000 souls have been added to the churches of Christ (including all denominations) in South Wales, within the last year. There is at present, throughout South Wales, a general desire for the out-pouring of the Holy Spirit; and there are Union Monthly Prayer Meetings in various parts, for the out-pouring of the Spirit, which are numerously attended. Indeed I have no doubt that many ministers and churches, besides those which I have mentioned, do already experience, in some degree, the out-pouring of the Spirit. Great additions have been made to many Dissenting churches not mentioned in this letter, in the course of last year; and from the aspect of things throughout the country, we have every reason to hope that God will soon cause revivals to be general in Wales. That you may enjoy much of the Divine presence, and great success in the ministry, is the sincere prayer of, CARMARTHEN, Feb. 7, 1829. Dear Sir, yours, respectfully, &c. DAVID PETER.
