REVIVAL METHODS
” FEES-ES.
We wish to add a few words to ih use
published in ‘lust week‘s issue on
the general subject of revivals of religion.
How shall therdesircd ends be gained ‘:
The reply is that “God fulfils Himself in
many ways." It is not necessary to er
pect the repetition. in the same com-
munity and in successive revivals, of uni-
form methods of success. 'I‘cn.yeurs
ago union prayer meeting services in
South Norwalk. held lute in—the after-
noon. were the agencies of collecting
large audiences of mechanics, fresh‘froni
their day‘s work. Outside help was
available and secured at that time. ‘vut
let us suppose that a series of Bible-read
ings were to be given in the afternoon.
the aim of which would be to reach
church~meinbers chiefly. and to prepare
them for work in the evening service.
and on the succeeding day? It will
readily be seen thatsucli meetings might
be equally productive of good. as much
so as any that could be desired. The
best evangelists now work in that way
and t3 thaténd. But there are many ways.
Nothing needs to be emphasized more
than the fact that God isnot limited and

were Jewish rcformations. or revivals as
we call them. in which organization

fervor. and power. '
There are two prevalent theories with
reference to the mode in which revivals
ordinarily comer _
One is that the church is first awaken
ed; and that through theavvnkcncd iueiu~
bore the unsaved are reached. This is
the chief way. but not the only one.
Rev. Dr. Humphrey. once President of
Amherst College. said: . “After a revival
in my old parish a good deacon said to
me, ‘Before the revival I wondered why
you preachedmo long and pointedly to
the church. We thought it was cruel
to lay the charge of not havmg a revival
to us. But ‘I see now how necdful
it was.‘ “
An individual Christian in California.
aroused after protracted spiritual cald-
nesa cried Out; “1 am so hot from the
spiritual flame'of .a glorious revival of
religion that: I want to set fire to the
Rocky Mountains."
wangeli‘stsgndrevival~seeking pastors
usually direct‘ their first efforts to the
churches as: such. 1
One of the texts of Dr. Puyson‘s first
sermon to the church in a revival effort
was, “Whoso ccnfesseth and forsaketh
his sins shall have mercy." The text of
Mr. Moody‘s first sermon to the church
in San Francisco was. “\Vhere'art thou?“
Others have selected. such passages as
these: -“Jesus said, take ye away the
stone.“ “The backslider in heart.“
“Take up the stumbling blocks out of
the Way." ‘3Wilt than not revive us
again." “Be filled with the spirit.“ The
Macedonians. “First.3 gave their own
selves to the Lot 3"; The hist ric de-
monstration is complete that ' vived
churches have constant accessions to
their membership. _ _
Pastor Harms of Hermansburg. Ger-
many. aimed chieflyat the conversion of
souls. Bin parish was ten miles square.
' .Ho had inquiry-meetings and a prayer-
meeting every evening. The revival in-
terestcontiuued for seventeen years.
There was a family altar in every’dwell-
ing and. he had achurch of ten thou~
and members. For more than thirteen
years Dr. Edward Payaon of Portland.
Maine, held inQuirysmeetings. During
this time there was an average addition
to his church of about forty persons each
year. Rev. Dr. Milledollar, pastor of the
Rutgers Street Church, New York, en-
joyed a powerful revival of religion for
more than three years. The Rev. Mr.
Patterson of Philadelphia said that he
had (revival. of religion for fourteen
years in succession. Several years since,
Rev. Dr. A. E. Kim-edge. of the Third
Presbyterian Church, in Chicago and
now of New York, reported a work of
grace of five years‘ continuance. Mr.
Bpurgcou of London has a yearly I38?!
vest of souls. He and many of his
church work directly and constantly
for the ungodly.
But exactly the reverse theory and
method sometimes prevail. namely, that
a few conversions occur and thus
the church is gwnkened. A church in
New York that had not .life enough to
my yuor no when its pastor proposed
the holding of daily meetings was elec-
trified by the conversion of one soul.
When a re‘vived company of God’s
people move on a community. as one
mull, they are irresistible. The Rev
,Dr. Nowadays: "Skeptics and philos-
-
opliere. drunkards and \vorldlings. war-
riors and snake, kings and priests, led
on by the urclrtiend himself. cannot
stop it revival of religion."
The Two lilt‘hs.
\ch York (‘ulllnli‘h‘Lrli All‘l‘hiri't.‘
Let us show briiily how completely
the Knights of Labor idea. :is expouin‘lcd
by Master “'orkmen Quinn. is opposed
to the American idea. under which our
prosperity and Illilllllllt'SS as u people
have been secure for a century and more.
The American iden is that every man
shall be free to seek happiness in his own
fashion so Ion-gas hcdoes not abridge the
rights of others. The Knights of Labor
idea is that no mun shall be free to do
anything except as the slatc.tliroug.:li :ip‘
pointed olliccrs. may graciously give
liiiii pertiitssimi—say to bathe or to do
any other thing that llt‘ wants to do.
Tilc Aineiicuu idea is that every man
shall enjoy the friiitsof his own industry
and thrift. The Knights of L'ibor idea
is thut’ every man shall work for the
state. under the direction of otlicml sup~
ci‘intcnilciits. and shall enjoy only so
much of the results of labor us may be
olliciully apportioned to him.
The ..\ merican idea is that the state
shall interfere With the individual as
little as possible. whether to help or re-
strain him. so that personal liberty shall
be enjoyed to the utmost by all men.
The Knights of Ltibor idea is that the
state shall. interfere constantly in all
things. leaving the individual ll ) person-
al liberty \\ butcvcr.
The American idea is that each man‘s
personal freedom of action and personal
responsibility for his fortune shall be an
incentive iii each to \vork iiiilustriously.
to save his cui‘nings and to improve liiin~
self in his work. in order that his for-
tiiue iiiiiy be bclh red.
The Knights of l.-ib.:r idea is that the
state shall destroy ull siich' incentives to
eiiileuvor by ill-Ii) in: to the individual :1“
profit from his work. and assuring him
of the same average \vlictlicr he works
well \ll' ill.
The American idea is by personal lib-
(ity and personal responsibility to give
in cvcry iiitiii the highest possible incen-
me to cultivate mind till-ll character in
himself and in his children. and t i (It“

‘ Prohibition In Tennessee.
The House Monday passed on its third
reading the resolution prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating li-
quor in Tennessee. The vote was 5‘? to
4. The resolution has already passed the
Senate. It. only remains for the General
Assembly to fix the time and prescribe
the manner of the election to be held by
the people for the ratification or rejec-
tion of the amendment. 0n the question
of submission the Legislature has no op-
tion. Submission is commanded by the
Constitution after the General Assemblv
adopts an amendment on its return. A»;
two-thirds of the members of that body
have declared that the Constitution
should be so amended, the question now
goes before the people for a direct ex-
pression of their will in the matter.
