RELIGIOUS MANlAS.
Our Short History Is Full of Examples of
Mental Epidemics,


Turning now to the American, who
somewhat resembles the Hebrew both in
business ability and righteousness, we find
social suggestion working in him on II
larger and grander scale The American
is highly suggestible, and the short history
of his national existence is full of instruc-
tive cases of mental epidemics. A. few in
stances will perhaps suffice for our purpose.
At the beginning of the present century
n mania of religious revival swept over the
continent of northern America and reach
ed its acme in the camp meetings of the
"Kentucky revivals " The first camp
meeting in Kentucky was held at Cabin
Creek and continued four days and three
nights. The scene was aN ,ul beyond de-
scription. The preaching, the praying, the
singing, the shouting, the sobbing, the
fits of commissions. made of the camp pan
demonium Religious suggestion soon af
fected the idle crowd of spectators and act
ed with such yirulencc that those who tried
to escape were either struck by commissions
on the way or impelled to return by some
unknown, irresistible power. The conta-
gion spread with great rapidity and spared
neither age nor sex.
The camp meeting of Indian Creek, Har-
rison county, is especially interesting and
instructive for its bringing clearly to light
llc terrible power of suggestion. The
1ecting was at first quiet and orderly.
here was, of course, good deal of pray
ng, singing and shouting but still moth
~ extraordinary occurred. The sugges-
ion. howel err, did not fail to come, and
his time it was given by a child. A boy
IL mounted log and raising his voice
began TO preach. In =. few moments he
became the center of the religious mob.
"Thus, oh, sinners" he shouted. 60 shall you
drop into hell unless you forsake your sins
and turn to the Lordr At that moment
some one fell to the ground in commissions,
and soon the whole mob was struggling,
wriggling, writhing and jerking. In
some camp meetings the religious mob
took to dancing, and ut last to barking like
dogs Men, women and children assumed
the posture of dogs, moving on all tours,
growing, swapping the teeth and barking.
