A NEW CENTURY REVIVAL.
Plans In England and This Country
For Concerted Movement.

Plans In England and This Country
For "a Concerted Movement.
All of the Free churches of England
are joined in an effort to open the new
century with great evangelical reviv
al. Eight days are to be given to the
task, apart from the months of prepa-
ration which have already begun. In
this task of preparation the Christian
Endeavor and other lay help is brought
into use. The meetings will begin on
Saturday night, January being the
month selected, cover the two follow
ing Sundays and terminate on Monday
evening. The London meetings are to
be held in advance of those in the
provinces; this for local effect. There
are to be six London centers-princi-
pal centers-each Of which will have
many subordinate centers.
In other cities of England the num-
Der of principal centers, each with sub
ordinate ones, will number from one
to six, according to size, and work is
already begun to see that no city, how
ever small, is omitted from the plan.
The date will be about a fortnight aft
err the close of the London meetings.
Evangelists from one to ten in number
will be sent to each city, according to
size, and pastors will help out.
There will be special services for
milkmen, for car drivers, for fallen
women, newspaper boys, etc. Some OF
these will be held at early hours in the
morning, one of them at a. M. They
will be held at any hour those for
whom they are held can best attend.
The aim is, first, to reach people of all
grades and to provide meetings any
where and at any time; second, to
converge these meetings upon central
mass meetings.
There is also movement on foot in
| this country to make this a year of
| prayer and preparation for the incom-
! ing new century. A call to this end is
addressed to the people of the United
States and is signed by many repre-
sentative men, including such names
as those of the Rev. Drs. j. II. Bar
rows, Josiah Strong, Washington Glad
den, Theodore L. Cuyler, G. l. Scofield
and Bishops Gilbert of Minnesota,
Leonard of Ohio, Doane of Albany, An
drews of New York, ETC. The appeal
is to Christians to make the year one
of prayer, work and preparation and
education by Bible study and study of
missionary and other progressive Chris
tan work in order that a great revival
of religion may be prepared for in the
opening year of the new century,

You are almost Through with the
abuse and backbiting of enemies. They
will .dll you no more by evil names.
Your good deeds will not longer be mis-
interpreted or your honor filched. The
troubles of earth will end in the felici-

bereavements of earth will soon be
lifted. You will not much longer stand
pouring your grief in the tomb like Ra-
chel weeping for her children or David
mourning for Absalom. Broken hearts
bound up. Wounds healed. Tears
wiped away. Sorrows terminated. No
more sounding of the dead march. To-
ward evening. Death will come, sweet
as slumber to the eyelids of the babe,
as full rations to a starving soldier, as
evening hour to the exhausted work
man. The sky will take on it's sunset
glow, every cloud fire psalm, every
lake a CLASSY mirror, the forests trans"

Your friends will announce it, your

The Shah and the Children.

The youth Of Brussels, it appears,
were not slow to exploit the shah's
weakness for children, which was in
cautiously referred to in the press.
Our correspondent mentions that an
enterprising lad wrote to his majesty
that a bicycle would make him COM
pletely happy, but the fact must not
be divulged to his parents, while an
other child asked for doll in similar
terms In both instances the gifts
were forthcoming, with the result that
on the last day of his majesty's visit
the Persian legation was besieged by
youthful applicants, many of whom
were made happy by practical proofs
Of the shah's generosity. - London
