All these small local reyiVas in and
around the city are preparing the way for the
advent ~ MOODY and SANkLY. The operations
In some Of the uptown churches, well a. In
IroOklyn. Wiiliamsburgh, Jersey city. Newark,
Staten leland. Ne~butgh. Fort Jarvis and other
iiuces. are preliminary To the great movement
into which all the scattered forces Of TevSali.m
will soon be turred. Not only the clerical re-
Nivalis >, but such lay workers a. Brother PETER
DwlER, who Is operating IN Nandam street, ana
Brother ALnRO. who Is operating up town and
Brother MCC ArLEy, who Is operating IN Water
street. and Sisters VAN CO1T aud LOWRY, who
are operating on the outskirts, may Do spoken
OF a. in the skirmish line preceding the main
force by which the heavy lighting will he done.
1t Is striking that every ATTEMPT to start local
revival IN any part Of tnis city has been success
ful in attracting multitudes Of Interested men
and women. Even the wicked people around
Nandam and Water streets do rot say that
they are any worse sinners than live ia lifth
and Madison avenues gather In crowds, neht
after night to listen to the preaching OF men who
only lately were leaders In vice. These Things
show the breadth aud depth OF the religious
feeling that has been aroused IN this coumu-
nifty, and give reason to believe that the city IL
in an advanced state OF preparation for the great
impending revival.
If this sort of winter Is to last we shall
have to go w somewhere near the North Pole
for cur ice. We might indeed send over to
Russia where the people are shivering with the
thermometer, us standard thing, at fifteen
degrees below zero. Seven or eight inches Is
the minimum thickness at which the ice people
will cot ice, and there has been almost none II
that sort ia our vicinity since winter tegan.
Itlcss We soon get sharp weather. the ice lis
vii have 1t all their own way. aud next summer
We shalt have To- pay dear for our ice cream and
cobblcr-. Ii u safe 10 anticipate. However, that
the ground VIII not continue IT for the plough
the winter through, nor the streams remain
opcn ~ navigation until the MAY flowers come.

The revival has made its appearance in
jersey City, and RELIGIOUS services are now held
every night IN some ~ the churches there. The
bowers Avenue Dutch Reformed Church Is en-
jl,ing seven revival sermons on the seven even
inTs Of tins week, by seven different cloraYmen.
We We not had the advantage Of listening to
any II these sermons. but We trust that al least
some Of them are as practical as those Of the
course that has been provided for by the Epis-
copal Association Of this city. The other dav.
when We mentioned the remarkable list Of
themes in that course, we neglected to urge all
tie CLERGY Of this city who are interested In true
revivallsm to tske them IN. Ii cannot be that
they ere unwilling to receive lesson from the
EpiscOpalian clergy or that they think the Eps-
copal Association intended to Interfere with the
revival. What We admired in the Episcopal
themes was their practical reference to lie aud
conduct.
