viyal was started; and, according to
precedent, the time and tho place were
peculiarly inappropriate for such a
movement The joys of this life seemed
too great and Astounding in thai happy
community for a hot revival Of interest
among the people in life to come and
Of feeling of humble dependence on
supernatural succor.
A letter from Schenectady which we
print to-day comes from hardheaded
man of business, one Of The most active
citizens of the town. engaged in one OF
its greatest industries yet it Is the out
burst OF man whose religious emo
tions are profoundly stirred, and We
infer that in his spiritual eXaltation he
represents very many OF the usually
self-restraned men OF affairs in that
busy and prosperous community
our correspondent is evidently con-
WINGED that his own awakened feeling
will become general and that a wave OF
religious revival will again sweep over
the Union. and the London letter writer
to whom we have referred thinks he sees
signs that throughout the Christian world
there is approaching a revulsion against
the scepticism which has been dominant
for so long.
If there is TO be such a revival, how
ever it will have 70 begin with reawak-
ening Of faith in the Church itself. Dr.
LYMAN ABBOTT, in his recent rejection
e 81, AZ r lnn
ment and guidance of the universe by
a personal GOD. and in his substitution
for it of the theory OF an immanent
force or energy, represented form
Of scepticism which is now extensive in
theological scminaries and pulpits nomi
nally Christian. A personal Con, with
a loving heart, movable by human sup
plications is displaced by this new
school in favor of coldly scientific ex-
PLANTATION OF the order of the universe
which is practically atheistc.
A peculiar feature of the religious
awakening in Schenectady and in other
places similarly stirred seems 10 be that
former jealousies and animosities and
competitions between the various di-
visions of Christian believers have been
swept away and forgotten. Are we to
see Catholics and Professionals joining to
kindle anew their common faith in the
Redemption which the new scientific
theology brushes aside as a relic Of
exploded superstition?
IL will be interesting TO watch the de-
veopment. should the movement now
appearing in so many widely scattered
places prove to- be more than sporadic
and ephemeral.

a very remarkable speech to the deputa-

1, This Another Great Awakening

The old fashioned religious revival
at Schenectady seems 70 be sweeping
on with undiminished force. 1t was
originally planned to last only two weeks
but month has passed, and letter we
print to-day describes the movement
as more earnest than ever, Every
meeting is packed and every day scores
Of conversions are recorded. Even the
children have caught the spiritual con-
tagion, and on last Friday they marched
500 strong through the principal streets
of the town singing Onward. Christian
Soldiers and Stand Up for Jesus. The
business of saloonkeepers is said TO be
falling off seriously, so many men hav-
ing signed the pledge since the revival
began Meetings are held. no, only
throughout The day and evening, but
at midnight also. and even az that I'M
usual hour crowds flock TO hear the
preaching and to testify publicly to the
new faith they have found.
In Binghamton, also, there was last
month stirring time religiously and in
Elrnira the Paulist Fathers have given a
great mission, which corresponds to a
Protestant revival. Scores of men who
had fallen away from the Church and
had not approached its sacraments in
years were brought back to the fold by
these eloquent missionaries, and many
others who had no religious belief of
any kind were won to the faith From
Colorado come reports of aggressive
Evangelism In Denver last Satur-
day. we are told, practically every store
and public building closed in order 10
give the people a chance to attend the
revival meetings in progress there, On
The other side of the ocean a remarkable
wave Of religious emotion is said by the
London correspondent of the Episcopal
Church Eclectic TO be sweeping over
Wales, and thence it is expected to ex-
tend to England The theory of this
writer is that there at last has come ." a
profound revulsion Of feeling against
the worldliness and materlalism that
have for so long held banefu sway II
seems that in Wales, as in Schenectady,
the public drinking places are losing their
trade, and gatherings Tor inerrymaklng
have given place to meetings for prayer
and praise by night and by day.
As We have remarked before, the re-
ligious uprising in Schenectady is tho
more remarkable because ii is proceed
ing in time of great prosperity and in a
town more distinguished for it's prosperous
activity than almost any other Of the
communities Of the interior of the State.
With this great material progress there
came in as natural concomitants luxury
Of living, -worldliness, TO use the term
Of the old fashioned preachers Of re-
ligion, cynicism and scepticism. Prob
ably there are few places anywhere in
which the people generally arc so greatly

Democrats and Republicans at the
south.

The diminution in the Republican poll
in the Southern States at the last Presi-
dental election. a. compared with the
election of 1904, is attributed by the
Boston Erening Transcript 20 the re-
striction of the franchise by constitu-
tional provisions, and also, in large part
TO terrorism which prevented even
registered negroes from casting their
ballots
To this a South Carolina paper. the
State of Columbia, replies, acknowledge
ing the manifest reduction because of
constitutional restrictions but denying
the terrorism. Its assertion that quail
fed negro voters suffered no more diff
ficulty in casting their ballot than did a
white man with his Democratic vote"
is fully sustained by the facts as they
were reported to us from the South
1t is true that the aggregate Republi-
can poll in the eleven States Of the old
Southern Confederacy fell of from 057-
$50 in 1900 to 1892 in 1904 diminution
Of 258,977 votes The only States in
which it increased we're Arkansas and
Florida, and the aggregate gain in them
was only 1850 votes
The aggregate Democratic poll in
those eleven States, however. fell of
from l,l58,5l3 in 1900 to $4,000 in
1904, or 237 504 votes The only States
in which it increased were Florida,
Georgia, Mississippi and South Carolina,
and in them the gain aggregated only

England against the Free State adminiB-

Attention was also called 20 the recent
rapid growth Of the trade between Belgium
and Germany and the negotiations now

ment caused by the agitation Great Britain
has almost entirely lost her historic position
