This has been q great winter for
religious revivals. Revival meetings
flourish best in hard times for the
reason that prosperity makes people
regardless of spiritual things. TIE

and better life, is fair illustration

and timss OF prosperity. In times
of prosperity the Jews wera given to |
all kinds of frivolity aud meanness,
but in times Of adversely they wers
hunbled and came back to the bet |
ter and honest way Of living.

Religious rsvivsls are reported
from many parts Of the country. Re-
vivals are a good thing for society
generally. They point the way to a
better life and bring the wayward
and crookes of society to an honest
way OF living. 1t is a common re
mark that revival influence does not
last long. With some people the in
fuence lasts for life. With others it
lasts as long as revival meetings are
going on. But long or short the af-
feet on society is beneficial. II is a
permanent betterment for those who
become steadfast in better doing and
if it keeps a crook out OF bad ways
only while the meeting lasts, society
is that much better off in being free
from his all round bad work and in
influence.
