About three weeks age a few young men from Bettws-y-coed (bet-oos-ee-co-ed) came to work in the Festiniog slate-quarries. They were in deep concern about the state of their souls. they came on Monday morning, and their deep distress was observed by several of the quarrymen. They followed their work in this state of mind, occasionally weeping on account of their lost conditions guilty sinners before God.
After dinner the following day they were observed by some working people making their way to the top of the hill. Immediately they were followed by all the workmen in that quarry, being about five hundred in number. they halted on the summit of the mountian, and on that spot, under the broad canopy of heaven, they help a prayer-meeting. Whilst they prayed, the Holy Spirit was poured out upon them most abundantly. Nearly all present wept and sobbed aloud.
