Underground Prayer Meetings Still Continued

It will, no doubt, be a source of delight to many to learn that in some places the underground prayer meetings instituted during the Revival have been continued uninterruptedly from that time until now. There was a reference made a few weeks ago, in the daily newspapers, to the meetings conducted underground at a Monmouthshire Colliery, and to the remarkable freedom from accidents in that particular colliery. The same statement may well be made with regard to the Penrhiw Colliery, Pontypridd, for the daily prayer meetings held there have been a source of continuous blessing, and the mean who “work and pray” there often point to the wonderful immunity from serious accidents enjoyed by that pit. Penrhiw is the colliery visited by so many distinguished visitors during the Revival, and the workmen now frequently mention the glorious meeting held underground when the Re. Thos. Spurgeon, of the Metropolitan Tabernacle, and Dr McCaig, and others took part.

Early morning, from about half-past six until nearly seven, the depths of the earth echo with prayers and songs of praises, and one of the most recent visitors to the Penrihw Pit was the Countess Schimmelmann.
