REVIVAL MOVEMENTS
The feature of the revival movements
which almost every religious body is pre-
pairing to inausurate at the opening of
the new century is the emphasis laid upon
the Church as an organization. hide
pendent evangelistic movements, such as
Mr. Moody had some years ago, seem to
be things of the past This feature is to
be observed, both in England and here.
In England the established church is
entering into the simultaneous mission
movement, barring, perhaps, the ritualist
party in it, although it is doing its work
in its own way. Reports from all parts
of England are to the effect that all
previous mission efforts are to be left
far behind in size and interest London
has been divided into flfty-six centers.
in each of these the largest churches
have been selected and nissioners are
;tlready appointed. Besides the central
meetings there are TO be any number of
meetings, specially for cabmen, railway
employees, servants. both male and female,
children, and even for newspaper car
ricrs, the meeting for the last named to
be held at O'Clock in the morning. The
campaign is to open on January 2Sth,
with what is expected to be an historic
service in Guildhall, the Rev. DR.. Joseph
Parker being the preacher. From then
until AprD meetings are to be held in
every city, hamlet and cross roads in all
England
The Rev. F. &. Meyer is due to arrive
in this country on March Dist next.
Under the Mortified extension move
ment he will make a tour of the South
and West, speaking two to four days in
many principal cities. Meetings are to be
arranged under his direction for different
classes of people, according to employ
fnent, and at many different hours. He
viii speak to ministers especially. Fresh
from the Simultaneous Mission in Eng
land. in the management of which lla
is one Of the largest factors, he viii en-
deavOr to stir up in the United States
some of the interest which il is believed
will by that time obtain in England.
The Rev. 6. Campbell Morgan will, il is
expected, he here by that time also, and
he viii work as we'll under the Mortified
Extension. This Extension was one Of
the later schemes Of Mr.. Moody, but grew
up rather from q popular demand than
from any idea Of Northtfeld's founder
Cities in which appointments are to be
made have lot yet been fixed upon, but
it is said that applications that would
require time far exceeding that which
Mr.. Meyer can spend here, have already
