REVEALS COME NOT BY CHANCE.
DIR. TindaII OpInes There IL n Law
Governing Them,

Rev. D. X. Tlndall OF Trinity Methodist
church said in part: my text is found in
Habakkuk, 3:2, %. Lord, Revive Thy Work
There Is a law governing REVEALS, for they
do not come by chance. Redemption is
absolutely Gods work and independent OF
man. but personal salvation is conditioned
on mans faith and action. A great re-
vival once sprang up in Orange county,
New York, and it's human condition being
generally unknown, it was thought to be
directly from God. But It was a~fterward
found out that 1t was in answer to the
prayers Of two farmers who had been regu-
larry meeting for prayer for a revival mid
way between their homes in a little grove.
Great REVEALS usually come when some
neglected doctrine or lost truth is found
or restored to its proper place.
The great revival OF the eighteenth CEN
fury arose when purity and spirituality
were restored to the church. A large mi
nority Of the clergymen Of the Church Of
England did not believe in instantaneous
regeneration. Horse racing, gambling and
drinking and worldliness abounded both out
and in the church. A great and good man
called the church a fair carcass Black
stone said he had heard every minister in
London, but could not tell whether they
really meant to preach Christ, Mohammed
or Confucius But when Wesley and others
began to preach purity and the witness
Of the spirit the great revival began.
''In the first half of the nineteenth CEN
fury free agency had been neglected by
too much emphasis upon divine sover-
eighty, but when James p. Finney began
emphasizing mans responsibility to God a
mighty awakening occurred. The revival
of the last half of the nineteenth century
was produced by D. l.. Moody and others
by emphasizing the love Of God where
the terrors of the Lord had been chiefly
preached. Now l think we need to return
to preaching the law of God, for His love
has been preached so exclusively that many
have come to believe that zoe is too good
to damn a sinful soul. Sinai and galway,
law and love, justice and mercy, must go
side by side. Three things must now be
emphasized in the pulpit in order to a
great revival-the social element of So
ciety, the law OF God and Christian en-
thusiasm. These properly treated and
we'll have a mighty revival of religion"

tract or covenant made under force or

much Of any patriotism which displayed
no flag, beat no drums or made no declsra-
tion, and be considered there must be
something lacking in a love which gave
no open expression. He referred to the
expression Of a mans love for the woman

Of the ring as a token and the marriage
ceremony to which the friends are called.

declared, had a language as we'll as patriot
