CONDITION or THE RELIGroUs WoRID.--One OF
our contemporaries takes heart of grace over
the improved condition OF the evangelical
world, as made apparent by certain statistics
which have been collected as to the number
Of regular attendants upon divine worship ip
New England and elsewhere at the North. 1t
is stated that the number of church goers has
been ssnsibly augmented of late, and we have
noticed that the annual camp meetings have
been more largely attended aud more remarka
BILE for the fervor of the participants therein
than heretofore.
We presume that this general awakening may
be accredited, in good degree, to the circum
stance that the Northern clergy, AZ general
rule, have latterly paid more attention
than usual to their own business. and
have tacitly resolved to let the pol,i-
clans go to perdition in their own way.
In 1856 we had plenty Of sensation parsons
preaching sedihon from Northern pnlpits No
less than three thousand godly men signed
petition to Congress in relation to the affairs Of
bleeding Kansas. Others, including the Rev.
Her ry Ward Beecher, interested themselves In
raising contributions to carry the Gospel to the
border rufRans through the effective, though
not exactly evangelical, medium Of Shapes
rides. During the campaign Of 56 religion was
at low ebb, the sacred vestments having been
polluted by the mire of politics In 1867 we
had the crisis. Almost everybody Was poor;
Mammon had proved false god, Satan had de-
serted his own, and men Of all degrees joined
In the revival movement which commenced
during the hard times that succeeded the
panic.
The clergymen Of different denominations
have labored earnestly to make up for lost
time, and the revivais, instead Of being
mere temporary excitements, became per-
manent matters; at least the religious
papers say that such Is the case.
We have no religious element in the present
campaign The political parson Is scarcely
heard of even. Mr.. Beecher, formerly the type
Of the srder, says but very little about politics
now ardays. Like the merchants, the priests
have learned wisdom by experience. The for
mer are selling more goods than ever before,
and the latter are more industrious and more
successful in the saving Of souls. So we have
revival in practical religion as well as in prac-
teal trade and commerce. Everybody Is doing
wep, except the politicians, who are 50 bothered
that they hardly know whether they are on
their heads or their heels. II will be hard
times this winter for some Of the blowers
and strikers, In case matters do not take more
practical turn. Some Of them may have to Join
the church on account OF the mere lack of
