Presidents recovery, but day of Thanksgiving,

covered, but when it is a matter of serious doubt
whether he will recover or not.

and while there is n very slight chance for him,
the chances are decidedly against him. and the

know nothing of medicine or surgery, but it
will form opinions from circumstances. They
believe that Garfield has been tcctcred to death;
that they have been experimenting, and inject

little chance to rest. They have for weeks re-
ported him as improving, and as being without

and used in familiar discourse, or in or
binary newspaper reports of revivals. s"
But it is otherwise with the word and
the work known as conversion. That has
been put by the holy Scripture within
our human reach. The word, as its ety.
mo ogy indicates, means the act of turn
ing with some influence or purpose ac-
companying the act. Here it is used in
Scripture to indicate the act of the sin
ner when he turns from his evil way and
turns to God and heaven. "The law Of
the Lord is perfect, converting the soul. y
Then will teach transgressors thy
ways, and sinners shall be concerted unto
thee lest they see with their eyes,
and hear with their ears, and understand
with their heart, and convert and be
healed; Except we be concerted, and be-
come as little children we shall not enter
into the kingdom of heaven; Repent We
therefore, and be concerted, that your sins
may be blotted out 1t is true the word
is also applied in the case of Peter, and
in some other parts of Scripture to the
act of turning again into the right path
by backsliding and inconsistent but re-
generated Christian. And this is per-
fectlv consonant with the true meaning
of the word which always conveys the
idea of turning, under or with an accom-
panying interest and influence. But the
most frequent meaning of the word in
holy Scripture is the turning of the un-
renewed sinner from ways of apathy and
worldliness and sin, to ways OF faith and
heavenliness and obedience.
From this discussion we conclude that
the usage of Methodist" and "Presby-
terians" in reporting the results OF ere
vivals is the proper usage. A minister
of Christ who, during or at the close of a
season of special religious interest in his
congregation, should report that "fifty
persons have been regenerated," would
be making e very rash and irreverent
statement. He would be assuming to
know a supreme mystery of God-assum-
ing as fact what he could not then pos
sibly know to be fact. But if he stated,
fifty persons have been converted" his
statement would be perfectly authorised
and legitimate. For, person who, under
preaching and prayer and the use of the
means of grace, turns away from former
life of Indifference and apathy and world
illness and sin, to credible profession of
Christianity, is a concerted person in the
Scriptural sense of the word
