Rev. Mr.. Jeffries on the Welsh Revival.
REV John ]. Jeffries. pastor of Highland
NJ. E Church, Highlandtown, who recently
returned from visit to his birthplace at Var
teg; Wales, lectured on Wednesday night to
bis congregation on the great Welsh revival.
He was in Wales abOutthree weeks and despite
thefact that he was unable to attend any of
thsservices conducted by Evangelist Roberts,
ne leader in the movement, be made con-
servstive study of the reaction that has fol
lowed
"Fi4ratively speaking" said Rev. Mr.. JEFF.
fries. 'he revival has subsidized somewhat and
l. had % excellent opportunity to study the
general esults. In the town of Varteg, which
is the 5uiness center of a large mining district,
there wert nearly 1000 converts. A number
Of them hlve gone back to their old ways of
living, andthis is accounted for by the local
clergymen because they would not attend
divine services. Still, it is believed that the
majority of Vie converts still profess religion
and are puncnal in their divine duties
Varteg waAnot visited by Rev. Mr.. Roberts,
but the revivalwave reached there through his
agents. The w,ve is at present extending over
the northern pat of Wales while in the south
ern part of the country the reaction has set in"
Mr.. Jeffries Dies not believe that it would
be advisable for Rev Mr.. Roberts to come to
this country to continue his evangelistic work.
He is not acquainted with American customs
and traditions, and Mr.. Jeffries believes that
his efforts would beunsuccessful.
