MILTON.

The revival at the NJ P. Church has this
week been favored with unlooked-fOr success.
The mighty gatherings have been immense;
the seating capacity of the building not being
sufficient to accommodate the attendance.
Several have professed conversion, and an
apparently happy time has been had by the
jubilants. There are many people who have
little faith in following and shouting, and
other outward demonstrations Partaking of
religious enthusiasm, prefeTring the more
quiet and orderly way of embracing new
life. This is but natural, as there haYe been
objections and Objectors to the various modes
of worship since christianity entered the
world, and will continue to be until the end
of time. We attribute the different phases
of enthusiasm manifested by different per
sors, to their Theterogeneousness, or suscepti-
bilities, or excitibility of disposition. No
two persons are constituted alike; and while
the shock Of a galvanic battery would be the
same upon all persons in its general results
there would be a marked individuality upon
those who received electric current And so,
we have reason to believe, It's with religion.
However, it was said generations ago by
CAMEL, doctor ofthe Jewish Law, in speak
ing of Peter, and the other apostles, LET
them alone for if this counsel or this work
be of men it will come to noughti but if 1t
be of God ye cannot overthrow It; lest
hapIy ye be found even to 6ght against God

sorry-more likely disguised.
