A Mannscript Hunt.

The editor of a popular weekly was
placed in q great dilemma the other
day, says The Westminster Gazette.
Having with much care selected six
complete stories for publication, he
placed them for safety OH the floor, I'M
derneath the waste paper basket. On
leaving late at night he forgot to change
their position, and when the charwom-
an came tho next morning she swept
them up with other litter and put them
in the dust bin. The same morning the
dustman came around, and the paper,
including the editors priceless stories,
was placed in large sacks and sent Oh 10
the Salvation Army depot.
The EDITORS despair at discovering
the fate Of his manuscripts may be I'M
| aeined, but he is man OF much decl-
sion, and, having learned the process OF
| collection, he chartered hanson, ana,
taking two assistants with him, SET on

was, of course, impossible for the au
thorities there to tell him which pae
contained the litter. The huge sacks, Al
in number, which had been collected
during the morning were without any
mark of identity, and it was at once ap
parent that if the manuscripts were u
be recovered it would be necessary u
search the entire litter.
Undismayed at the prospect, the col
tor and his assistants took off their coat
and went to work After many hours c

PIc.--Revivals at home and in mission
ISL Chron. xxx, 1871. "a missionary
o. dc.)
This chapter tells the story of a re-
markable revival 1t was brought about
under the direction Of Hezekiah, the
good king of Israel, who had succeeded
Ahab, the wicked king The story real
ly occupies the twenty ninth as we'll as
the thirtieth chapter IL places before US
in an interesting and striking manner |
the characteristics of revival in reli- |
gion, whether at home or on mission
fields. Taking in the whole story, we
find these characteristics to be:
/. A consciousness of need Hezekiah
realized this need. God had been neg
lected. He had been forsaken. The
doors of the temple had been closed, the
lamps put out and neither incense was
burned nor burnt offerings offered. The
consciousness of need is necessary ele-
ment to true revival in religion. Men
must be made to feel their need OF
Saviour before they will come to Him
to be saved.
2. Preparatory steps. /. The first step
was reformation among the religious
| leaders. Hezekiah summoned the priests
and Levites and ordered them to sancti-
fy themselves. A revival must begin
with Gods people in the first place
This is what revival means-a revlvlng
of those who are already Christians.
Awaken the church and the world will
be awakened. Revive the saint and the
sinner will easily and speedily be re-
yiyed. Q. Obstacles overcome. There
will always be apparent obstacles In the
way of a revival. The regular time Tor
the passover. which was to be used In re-
viving the people, had passed by shor'
time. Many would argue that they
should wait the regular coming OF the
time again. But Hezekiah believed tina
now the iron was hot and it was time
to strike. So applying law to the con
greeation which gave individuals tn
permission to keep the passover In TN
3 second month he determined to cele
brate it in the second month. COD
i laws will point out some way OF over
0 coming difficulties If we are sincere an
: in earnest. g. Invitations were sent ou'
I The king issued decree calling upo
i the people to return to God. Some moci
8 cd it, but others needed it. There WI
s always be Knockers and scoffers, but ST.
the work should be done. Invitation
% should be given to all TO come to Go
b and to the church. Personal sollcitatlo

1t a revival. People must be brought u
