Something to Think About.

Neither the philosopher nor the
christian'can be indifferent to the revi-
walls which periodically spread over
the country, and which at present ex-
hibit unusual vigor and results for in
whatever light of study they be consid-
cred they are among the morst con-
slant and remarkable of current
events. They seem to have no set
time, they will be in allegiance for
years and then break out and
spread like an epidemic, they
frequently make no respect of
age or condition, the wickedest places
frequently if not generally furnish
the most converts, and they leave be-
hind them among transitory results
far more that is real, tangible and
durable. They are peculiarly unlike
anything else ola mental kind, and
hence of peculiar interest in whatever
light considered. But the most re-
markable feature is that process
involved, known by the name of con-
version. For, considered rs a mere

accountable ecstacy, followed by Tin
real casey an instantaneous cheDge of
feeling, views and conduct. It is a
SINE qua non of admission to church
membership, and yet no such test is
applied TO candidates to political or
any other organization. The gloom
and penitence preceding conversion,

results which follow have nothing like
them anywhere. The constanoy of the
phenomenon IN point of time chal-
lenges wonder. II has been going on
UNMARRIED for hundred of years. Its
universally is no less wonderful; ii is
experienced by the tender mind,
the business mind, the callOus

same gloom, penitence and ecstacy as
