THE REVIVAL.


The usual half-hour song service az
the M. Il. church last evening was ho'
largely attended, though interesting ~
1880 the meeting was turned into a tes-
timony meeting for thirty minutes. Ut
Bushong gave 4O-minute talk' IL
which he took the ground that the man
who is not prepared to die at a minute
notice is not prepared to live, for inc
reason that he may be called Into eter-
nifty suddenly and without any chahce
to make preparation for death. TO SUP
stantiate his claim he cited many cases
, which had come under his own obserVa'
tion where men were cut off without
minutes warning.

Opinions differ regarding the value OF
what have come to be known as relIgl-
Gus revivals. Some believe that after
the excitement OF such special meetings
has passed people become more Indiffer-
ent to religious influences than ever be-
fore. Again, some hold that when such
interest is at a high pitch men and
women are led to make vows which
they are totally unable to keep, and
many Of whom soon return to their for
mer way Of life. Notwithstanding these
objections. which are held by many
good people. revivals continue, and there
is very great preponderance of opin-
ion that religion is greatly strength
ened by them. 1t is a fact which is
fully brought out by the records that
religious awakenings are apt to follow
periods of great financial depression.
It appears that when men have seen
their worldly possessions melting away,
and have even felt the pinching of hun
ger and want, they have turned to a
more careful consideration of the means
of salvation as they are pointed out in
holy writ

have little trouble in keeping warm during the winter. however much trou' ble they may have in big, crowded towns in keeping cool from the first oi June to the last of September and in getting a breath of fresh air,
 This Is especially true of the more than half a million occupants of the packed. noxious. miserable tenementt of the metropolis. This is painfully evident to any and all having any oc. casion 10 visit those wretched quarters that are q standing disgrace to our civilization. The roofs. the windows the doorways. the sidewaiksare crowd cd on a hot night with men. women. chii- dren. even infants. actually gasping for air: and such air as surrounds the tenements! It would poison those un. accustomed to it.: 1t poisohs the multi tudes who vegetate there: but unnat. urai conditions. long continued. has SC inured them to the poison that they inhale it constantly. yet do not die It innltratcs their blood; undermines their ambition. their enterprise. their very hope: gradually debumanizes them until. in the end, they are not man nor are they beast.
 Philanthropy has found 1t hard to draw them, even for while from their baneful environment; but by dint of perseverance 1t has succeeded. Hun dreds and thousands of them have been introduced to fresh air. and 1t has prov ed in every way blessing to them. Intelligent benevolence long ago discovered that the very poor must first be aided by material means. It is worse than vain to preach to them when they are hungry. cold, or i'll. They must be fed, made warm and well before any impression can be made on their minds or hearts. Reformation must begin with the body. What hope can there be of improving or elevating any man when his physical needs are unsupplied? Fresh air and cleanliness are more conductive to virtue than all the systems of ethics that have ever been composed.
 Our tenement-house population deter. iorates more from absence of fresh air especially in hot weather. than from any other single cause. Hence summer outings benefit it immeasurably, and the benefit has come to be widely rec. ognized in New York and in every over-crowded city. And. strange to say. so slowly do the soundest. most wholesome ideas dawn. it is only sev. enteen years since the first excursion for poor children was made from the metropolis to the country. One might suppose that as soon as the laborins classes began to get packed into the tenements. like sardines in box, the thought would have occurred to some body to give them an occasional in- troduction to Nature for their very sustenance and sanity. But they hud- dled together there, sweltered, suffo- cated, and slowly perished from mias- ma by hundreds year after year. from generation to generation, and no one seemed to see or care why.

country air they do not see the way clear to doing without her.
 But all the same 1t Is worth while to make the effort. to supply her place. if need be, by some other form of help, and to get the little maid away under other skies. and into short experience of irresponsibility and freedom and joy, where for a brief time she. too, can be a child. and forget the load of care which is making her a little woman. All who have seen the ecstacy of the little girls when coming among green fields and hills and gardens, which seem to them like dreams, and into houses which seem palaces, will be glad to contribute liberally of their means to make 1t more general and frequent delight. And fortunate chill dren who already have homes in the country can do no sweeter or kinder thing than to raise money with fetes and fairs and rural entertainments, in order to furnish means for the little mothers to drop the burden of their cares and pick up their own strength in the midst of summer pleasures.

Fresh-Air Charity. TFrom Harner'e Weekly I

We are apt to think of the very poor as suffering most in cold weather. from lack of proper clothing and insufficient fuel. And our thought, no doubt, is generally correct. But in great cities, particularly New York, with its ,horri- ble tenement house system, the very poor seldom shiver and freeze in de- cayed garrets. They are more likely to be harmed in summer by want of room
 by excessive heat, by, vitiated air. The poorest poor, those who, from any cause, are wholly destitute. and can get no work, as was the case all over the country last winter, and Is, to g less extent, still the case, find their worst enemy in coldvr But ordinary la borers who have employment. who car earn from $l.5o to y3 . day. usuall,
