WOrker sets forth well adjusted thought
on the ground work necessary for revi-
val now, as compared with the former
periods. The editor says:
The whole church must have a mind
to work. No pastor can well advance n
revival over the heads of his people. We
are living in a transition period with re-
| gard to revivals. The time has gone by
when we may hope to win great masses of
men and women in sudden and miracu-
lous fashion. We must come into per-
sonal contact with men. We can not
conquer souls at arm-length. We must be
heart to heart, mind to mind and soul to
soul with men if we would win them.
we must learn to use lighter and shorter
ranged artillery with greater facility.
lhere should be conference with the
Oihclary and teachers of the church and
Sunday-schoOl, and an understanding as
tocO-working fors souls. The whole church
should be organized for religious visiting
and conversation. 1t is easier and more
profitable to put hundred men and
women to work, than it is for one alone
to do the work of hundred"
The Erery Evening, which is not an adj
vocate Of extreme legal measures ON the
liquor question, has the following para

DeIdUdreda has strong communication
in favor of the passage Of such a law.
Among other things it says:

The writer in further discussing the
question says:
There is no great question with either
party to hold men together, nothing In
state politics except who shall be Gov
ernor and U. s. Senator. These are inn
portant questions to few, but not of half
the importance to the masses that the
suppression OF the liquor traffic is. If
