A remarkable instance of deep impression occasionally made by the Holy Spirit on the mind of the Rev. William Bramwell during prayer, occurred in Liverpool.  A pious young woman, a member of Society, wished to go to her friends, then living in Jamaica.  She took her passage, had her luggage taken on board, and expected to sail on the following day.  Having the greatest respect for Mr. Bramwell, she waited upon him, to take leave and request an interest in his prayers.  Before parting, they knelt down, and he recommended her to the care of God.  After he had been engaged in prayer some time, he suddenly paused, and thus addressed her, “My dear sister, you must not go to-morrow.  God has just told me you must not go.”  She was surprised, but he was positive, and prevailed upon her to postpone her voyage, and assisted her to remove her luggage out of the vessel.  The ship sailed, and in about six weeks intelligence arrived that the vessel was lost, and all on board had perished.

EVIL AVERTED.

A correspondent of the Guide to Holiness says:  “We remember a poor woman who had had a life of sore vicissitude which she bore with remarkable Christian cheerfulness; and after a time of the suspension of trial, a bad prospect came in sight.  She resorted to a friend to whom she confidingly related the threatening evil, and at parting said, ’Oh pray for us.’  The case as it was known was taken immediately that early morning to the throne of grace and laid out in all its circumstances with a deeply sympathizing heart, and a consciousness of the past sufferings of that woman—­and as the friend rose from prayer, the answer was given that the evil was averted, and a new change would come to that afflicted one.

“That very day a strange deliverance and opening appeared which set that family at rest from their peculiar trials for the rest of life.”

HOW A POOR LITTLE CRIPPLE CONVERTED A VILLAGE.

Mr. D.L.  Moody relates the instance of a poor little cripple, whose prayers were answered to the conversion of fifty-six people.

“I once knew a little cripple who lay upon her death bed.  She had given herself to God, and was distressed only because she could not labor for Him actively among the lost.  Her clergyman visited her, and hearing her complaint, told her from her sick bed she could pray; to pray for those she wished to see turning to God.  He told her to write the names down, and then to pray earnestly; he went away and thought of the subject no more.

“Soon a feeling of religious interest sprang up in the village, and the churches were crowded nightly.  The little cripple heard of the progress of the revival, and inquired anxiously for the names of the saved.  A few weeks later she died, and among a roll of papers that was found under her little pillow, was one bearing the names of fifty-six persons, every one of whom had in the revival been converted.  By each name was a little cross by which the poor crippled saint had checked off the names of the converts as they had been reported to her.”
