Revival in Howard University.
Rev. Wm. W. Patton, D.D., President.
You will be glad to hear that there is much religious interest in our institution at the present time. It has been gradually coming on all the autumn, but was greatly aided by the week of prayer held by the Young Men’s Christian Association of the University in concert with other Associations. Some ten or twelve of the students think that they have begun the new life lately, and we look for further good results. This is highly encouraging, as showing that in addition to the educational advantages which gather around our location, spiritual blessings may also be received. We desire the prayers of all Christians that the work may be continued with power. Our theological students have been deeply interested in the meetings for prayer, and have rendered valuable aid.
