Religious Revivals.

Rev. j. II. Graves, the great Bap
list preacher, is opposed to religion:
revivals, aud talks. rs he always does
with great power. He says:
"These eXcitcments are no sooner
over, and the mind of the religion:
calmed down, tEen the majority Of the
converts sink right back TO their for
iDcr condition; and 50 the proverb is
verified, ''the dog TO his vomit, and the
SOW that was washed to her wallowing
ia the mire." Hundreds and thousands
annually of just such converts are lar
ried into oar Murches, and this accounts
most satisfactorily tor the increasing
numbers, that often amount to MAORI.
Ties, in all u churches who maniteslly
are not %regcneratcd in heart. They do
not love the ways OF the lord; theil
Christian duties are unpleasant and
onerous, the prayers aud spiritual wor.
ship dIstaste!ul to them: and what
they may do for the support of reli-
gion is done through pride, to- appear
liberal, or through shame. They man
ifestly love their old sinful courses and
pleasures. They cannot he kept out
ol the SALOON or circus. the theatre or
hail roo,n. They are worse than dead
weights to the character and progress
OF the church, for the world will Judge
OF Christianity or a gwen church by
the character and walk of its worst
members. We say that such, alas! in
too many instances, is the sad fnale OF
those '~revivals" that are gotten W
with "straw" and '.altars" and such
"werk with the mourners" as we have
noticed above, is the sad experience of
thousands Of ministers and members
who have engaged in them. One
thing is sure as words of Holy Writ, i'll
those convictions, emotions and con.
versions had been wrought by the
Holy Spirit, they would have been
permanent, and the subjects of them
would nst have been left in the love of
sin, but the psssessors Of life eternal"
MIR. Graves THINKS that Protestant
has made Il serious blunder in re-
lying so much upsn revival efforts for
success, and needs reformation in this
respect. Touching 'aItars' and mourn
ers,' MIR. Graves says, we would none
Of them ITO promote genuine re-
we believe that special meetings
may be held and special efforts made
the part of Christians. But we
would not have any church SET apart
any particular day, week or month in
the year for such an effort. The in
fiuence Of such u fixed day will be bal
in the church and worse on sinners.
Soon both will come to the conclusion,
practical at least, that there will be no
until that time comes. Chris
will not expect or pray for the
aud conversion Of sinners
under the ordinary preaching Of the
gospel, and the minister will not ex
pect or pray really or preach for such
a result, aud Of course, according to
faith ofthe preacher and his church,
so it is; and this is the reason why we
hear Of q sinners conviction or
conversion during the Sabbath's exer-
Uses, as was common lfty years ago,
before we had settled down upon the
