The Coming Revival" was the theme
which held a number Of cIergymen and
I church women in. convention yesterday
evening at Trinity Methodist Episcopal
Church, Sixteenth and Market streets.
1t was gathering of the clergy Of
different evangelistic churches and one
Of similar meetings that were held in
other parts of the city on. Monday,
which were reported; fully in The Call.
The main hope was for a sturdy re-
ligious revival. and the outlook, It was
said. showed that a rousing religious
demonstration was fast approaching
and that the body religious was pre-
pairing for such. 1t was to be a re-
vival, according to the \ various
speeches, which would take the form
of another Moody and Sankey religious
demonstration.
When the conference of the Evange-
lical Alliance Of the Mission Protestant
Churches was called to order by the
Rev. w. c. Pond. D. D., the Rev. w
c. Day, D. D., began his address, even
choosing for his subject, 1.-The Coming
Revival" DIR. Day said that for the
last decade the air had been full of
the talk Of it. Some had dwelt upon
the signs Of it's approach, some had
suggested the measures necessary ITO
hasten and intensity it and some had
attempted to define IT'S character and
scope. Changes in the social, CONNER
cial and political world had materially
awakened large expectancy of like. up
heavals in the religious world, said DR..
Day.
Probably the. best Indicate OF it's
approach, said the speaker, was. the
crying need for it and the widespread
desire which was sharpening itself into
the we'll nigh universal prayer of Chris.
tendon for its speedy coming.
