The fourteenth century saw "a revival
of learning; In the fifteenth century. there
was q revival OF fine arts; In the sin
teenth century a revival OF philosophy; IN
tho eighteenth century a patriotic revival,
and now. In 4 The twentieth century we
have a revival Of rel gion. Twenty years
ago the tides Of faith were ebblng away;
now we see them coming in like flood.
Men have discovered that the sins OF the
world are unbearable, and that without
tho aid OF God they arc unequal to their
trials and problems. # men would realize
God in their daily qives, Us they would
change earth into a kind OF heaven. All
men are beginning to feel. therefore that
