The Cumberland Presbytcrians had
protrnctcd meeting at Goshen cam
ground, three miles east of Winchester
commencing saturday, the 9TH inst, ant
continuing till last Sabbath. Some tif
teen or twenty years ago these annua
gatherings at this renowned place of wor'
ship was the scene of much spiritual fer
vor, and OF numerous professions by the
purc-heartcd native population who in
habit that beautiful and picturesque dis
trict. But it does seem. OF late years, that
the people who are wont to assemble there,
are afflicted with a lukcwarmness that
nothing can move, unless It may be the
preaching of such men rs Moody and
white and the soul-stirriGg anthems of
Sankcy and Bliss. The same doctrine is
preached now that oil uncle Joe Crawford
and others used to preach in this county,
and it may be with as much ability and
zeal but the trath is, the natural pride of
the human heart, the desire to ouidrcss
and out-pinback more than our neigllbor,
and the all absorbing desire for riches,
seem to have benumbcd the influences OF
the christian religion. One great obstacle
to the spread of religious truth is found in
the fact that the worlGDy-minded sinner
can't discover, in the past few years, the
dividiag line separating the protested
christian from those who make 10 such
professions.
On the Sch instant there was a very
large assemblage of people at Goshen
There we're. attending divine services.
fully six hundred people. The preaching
was excellent, but the words of the
preacher tell like seed in stony places
There were too many who went there to
see and be seen; TO display their persons
in the latest styles of Partisan dress-to
give that degree of attention and pro-
found thought to the practical application
of the doctrines Of the christian religion.
Pride, vanity, ambition. avarice, envy,
maminoa worship. all these tend to throw
obstacles in the way Of religious revivals
of late years.
We have fallen upon an evil-minded,
stiff necked generation, and we will never
again witness such revivals of religion In
our midst until the people come up to the
standard of morality, charity and humility
fixed by Christ when on earth. Before a
people eau enjoy anything they must
