CHRISTIAN REVIVAL
GRAND MOVEMENT FOR NEW
CENTURY TO OPEN
NATIONAL I'M SCOPE
Advent of New Year to Mark Beoin-
ming of Great Work-WiIl Be Un-
=. denomnational in Characteristic
Expected TO Equal in Zeal the
Movements OF Whitefield or Wesley

A great religious revival, nationa
in it's scope, undenominational in char
acter and with the purpose of increas
ing and developing the spirit Of Chris
tianity, will begin with the opening OF
the twentieth century. Ministers OF
all denominations, laymen and mem
berS of congregations in all parts OF
the country will unite in a mighty eff
fort in behalf of Christ and the
Bible
The Volunteer Organization of Min
listers and Laymen, organized a short
time ago by William Phillips Hall. of
| New York city, is preparing for the
! great crusade. The strongest minis
ters of all denominations in New York
city, together with laymen whose
names have been prominent in relig-
ious matters, banded together rs a ma
| tional central committee, have been
working for a month in arranging
plans. Several men from Philadel-
| phia, Brooklyn, Boston and New Eng
! land also are members of this commit
tee.
These men will communicate their
spirit to churches and chapels III the
cities, the towns and the villages of
the entire country. Philadelphia, New
York and Chicago will be the central
points of the movement. but it's force
will extend to the smallest and most
remote communities.
Being absolutely undenominationa
in character the revival will receive
the support of every branch OF the
Protestant church and all religious
societies connected and identified with
it. UNCONVENTIONAL lines will have no
place in the crusade and creeds will
be forgotten in the united purpose to
awaken Christianity.
Names of suitable members have
been sent to the central committee in
New York. AS soon as they accept
and are approved they will begin their
work One of them said 81 do not
expect that the movement will arouse
such an interest. or so much zeal all
over the country as did Whitfield a
century ago, or as Moody did when he
made his campaign of the cities. But
l think that in parts of the country it
will do much good. The central com
mittee of course cannot do the work
1t can only give it's support, and the
success of the effort will depend upon
the energy, the interest and the tact
with which the members of the local
committees manage their work !
Dwight L. Moody the great evange-
list, conceived the movement, and
during his life looked forward to it as
the browning effort Of his religious
work. When death came he was at

Various countries claim the credit Of
having made the earliest practical ap-
plication of steam power; but, Judging
by facts gathered from the most au-
ihentic sources, it was in Spain that the
movement of machinery by steam was
first brought under public notice. At
Barcelona, in the year 1913, mechanic
named Blasco de Garay, after many
persistent efforts, succeeded IL impress
ing the Emperor Charles V. of Austria
and |. of Spain with the value Of his
new invention for driving ships by
steam. The trial which took place was
considered success by the public, but
the chief of the Royal commission
Ravago, the treasurekeeper of the
kingdom-for certain sinister reasons
persuaded the emperor that the dis
covery was of no practical value, and
so ruined the hopes Of Blasco de Garay.
Later on, about the beginning Of the
seventeenth century, Giovanni Branca,
an Italian. invented a steam engine,
and his machine is the first Of which

dated Paris, 1e41, gives an account OF

Normandy four years ago to present to
the king a statement of he wonderful

invention. The cardinal sent the mad

Solomon de Caus, far from being dis
couraged, followed the cardinal wher-
ever he went with the most determined
perseverance, who, tired to death with
his folly, ordered him to be shut up in

! twenty-five years after the above in
Icident, in 1863, in a work of his called
Century of Inventions, the marquis OF
Worcester described a steam apparatus
of his own. Papin followed with his
Invention in 1851. Captain Savery's en-
Igine for awter raising was made in
1893, and in 1712 Thomas Newcomer
constructed the first self-acting steam
engine (Which worked successfully for
over century,, and with it the age
of steam may be said to have been in
augurated.

! city, town and village at the opening
Of the twentieth century.
| 10 encourage definite and practi.
cal action in response to this appeal
the following suggestions are offered
First. That volunteer twentieth
! century Christian commission be or
ganized at once. to carry out the pur-
poses of this movement in every city.
! town and village in the United States.
Second. That such commission be
organized by, and consist OF. such
Christian ministers and laymen that
may be interested to promote this
work
Third. That such commission ap.
point central~or executive committee
to direct the work.
Fourth. That in the larger cities
district committees be appointed. TO
carry on such work as may be planned
in their respective districts, under the
direction of the central committee.
Fifth. That meetings for united
prayer, preferably of a union charac
ter, be held, beginning on the evening
of Sunday, December 80, and continu-
ing each evening thereafter until the
following Saturday evening inclusive"
The week of prayer, which has been
observed for the last three or four
years in Protestant churches, will
open the campaign in a formal man
ner. The central committee, while al
ways ready to help and advise ali who
wish for support, will not have direct
charge of the campaign in all commu-
mites. Each local organization will
work along the lines which it decides
to be most advantageous and suitable
to the conditions which it must meet
But the central committee Will watch
over the work in all places and to the
extent of it's power will give aid and
money wherever needle, regardless of
denominations and creed differences.
To every one of the 100000 Protest
ant clergymen in the United States
the central committee is sending per
sonal letters explaining the full pur
pose Of the plan and asking for sup
port.

The merry wild breeZes are swinging
The tops of the cottonwood trees,
And chimes of the bluebells are ring
ing
In belfries built low for the bees.
The longfngered tendrils are reaching
Far out from the wind-loosened vine
To join, with shy gestures beseeching,
The dance of the clothes on the line.
See the little blue sunbonnet nodding
Across to the white muslin hood,
And the petticoats, soberly plodding
Along, as good petticoats should.
See the lightfooted, echoless prancing
Of stockings that move here and
there,
AS though unseen fairies were dancing
Their mystical rounds in the air.
Then the frolicsome wind, feigning
quiet,
Creeps into the empty shirt sleeves,
And fills them with tumult and riot
| Until not a wrinkle he leaves.
! He sets the wee pinafoTes flying
! Like butterflies poised in a line,
| And shakes, with the tenderest prying
The baby clothes, tiny and fine.
Thus follows the wind his vagaries,
| And laughs with his hand on his
side,
| Till roughened hands, Bridget's OF
Mary's,
Take down the days washing al
dried.
He pulls the maids hair as she passes
And filings her checkee apron III
high,
And then crouches down in the
| grasses
To spring at the next passerby.

CHAPTER XXI.

Oscar Carstone returned to the ball
room. He could hardly realize even
now all that had happened He was
not like his father. 'a dear lover of
a lord" but he had a certain amount
of respect for the nobility. He felt
half bewildered when he remembered
how he had disliked the man. how he
had treated him with something like
contempt, as being decided social
inferiority-and, after all. he was the
wealthy Lord RIVERS of Ryverswell.

The divorce Of Livingston Pratt and Lii

Dale. The couple were divorced some
time ago and the papers had hardly been

the proceedings annulled. They have
been around the court good many times
but as considerable time had elapsed
since the proceedings, the judge said that
he could not annuI the case and they
would have TO be married over again.
They did not want to do this and have
been Ground SO much lately that yester-
day the judge wrote an order annulhng
the divorce. bur with a sentence stating
that it was given when he knew that it
was Illegal, but as the others did not seem
to care much, he would give it TO them.
