OR many months all the signs
and portents in the religious
armament of America have
plainly been indicative OF a
coming revolution, a vast concerted
movement in the direction of evange-
listic effort vivid spiritual awaken
ing OF the masses. This has been made
manifest in various ways. Those ia
miliar with the premonitory stages, Of
Z previous REVEALS have not failed to
\ recognize the fact that the great tidal
wave of religious enthusiasm which
has swept over the United Kingdom
has turned in its course and is coming
westward with unspent power. The
underlined but perfectly appreciate
symptoms of religious unrest which
have distinguished former REVEALS are
everywhere present.
The impetus toward spiritual revivi-
fication appears to recur in cycles.
These are at intervals of from thirty to
thirty-five years. Estimating roughly,
It may be said that three Of these reli-
gious events occur during the century.
The remarkable evangelistic careers of
/ Dwight L. Moody and Ira d. Sarlkey
were at their height about thirty three
years ago, and the time for repetition
& OF their phenomenal work has arrived.
It is predicted by conservative minis
ters of all denominations that the Eng
lish speaking world has seen only the
beginning; that it will presently be the
opportunity of this generation to be-
hold the world in the throes of a reli-
gious CONFUSION which promises to
surpass in every way the Moody and
Sankey revivals of the seventies.
From England and Wales have BEEN
coming tfdings Of great religious up
heaval. The movement in Wales began
some months ago in Cardiganshire
The impulse appears to have been spo-
radio Without any apparent exposure
to the evangelfStic influence the fe;rvor
OF religious propaganda kept brea king
out in localities remote from each other
until the entire population of the min
ing districts was involved in the move
ment. There does not seem to have
been any organized effort at first ey-
erything was merely individual and To-
cal. In the course of time, however,
the movement found it's focus on a
young theological student, Evan Rob-
erts, who abandoned his studies to car
ry the work through Wales. Ills re-
suits have been little short of marvel
Gus: over 100000 conversions have been
reported.
Two American cvangelists, Rev. DR..
Reuben A. Torrey. who was formerly
pastor of a Congregationalist church
In Chicago. and his singing colaborer,
Charles NJ. Alexander, have been car

far reaching campaign in England and
Scotland for two seasons. AS the CHI

THE VALUE OF A SUNNY SOUL

The world is too full OF sadness ana
sorrow, misery and sickness; 1t needs
more sunshine; it needs cheerful lives
which radiate gladness;, 1t needs en-
couragers who will lift and not bear
down, who will encourage, not discour-
age.
Who can estimate the value of sun
ny soul that scatters gladness and good
cheer wherever he goes instead OF
gloom and sadness? Everybody is at
tracted to these cheerful faces and sun
ny lives and repealed by the gloomy, the
morose and the sad All envy people
who radiate cheer wherever they go
and fling out gladness from every pore.
Money, houses and lands look con-
temptible beside such disposition.
The ability to radiate sunshine Is
greater power than beauty or than
mere mental ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

Holmes had picked up the pages
which formed the rough draft Of the
will and was looking at them with the
/ keenest interest upon his face.
There are some points about that
8 document, Lestrade, are there not?'
said he, pushing them over.
The official looked at them with g.
puzzled expression,
II can read the first few lines and
these in the middle of the second page
and one or two at the end. Those are
as clear as print said he, "but the
writing in between is very bad, and
there are three places where cannot
read it at all.
aWhat do you make Of that?" said
Holmes.
"Well. what do you make OF it?"
That it was written in a train. The
good writing represents stations, the
bad writing movement, and the very
bad writing passing over points. A sci
entiflc expert would pronounce at once
that this was drawn up on suburban
line, since nowhere save in the imnle-
date vicinity of a great city could
there be so quick a succession of points.
{ Granting that his whole Journey was
occupied in drawing up the will, then
the train was an express, only stopping
once between Norwood and London
bridge"
Z Lestrade began to laugh.
You are too many for me when you
begin to get on your theories, Mr..
Holmes" said he. GLOW does this
bear on the case?'
''Well, it corroborates the young
mans story to the extent that the will
was drawn up by Jonas Oldacre in his
Journey yesterday. 1t is curious, is it
not, that man should draw. up so I'M
portant document in so haphazard a
fashion. It suggests that he did not
think it was going to be of much prae-
teal Importance. II a man drew UP a
will which he did not intend ever to be
effective he might do it So"
ssWell, he, drew up his own death
warrant at the same time.''4 said Lee
Strade.
ooh, you think so?'
HDon't you?"

ease is not clear to me YET

"Unless we succeed In establishing

You can hardly find flaw in the case

.'Because they were papers that lie

Lestrade shook his head, though 1t
seemed to me that his manner was
less absolutely assured than before
Well, Mr.. Sherlock Holmes, you
may look for your tramp, and whlie
YOU are finding him we will hold on to
our man. The future will show which
is right. Just notice this point, Mr.
Holmes-that so far as we know none
of the papers were removed and that

"My first, movement, Watson" said
he as he hustled into his frock coat,
.'must. as said, be in the direction Of

"And why not Norwood Z"
Because we have in this case one
singular incident coming close to the
heels of another singular incident The
police are making the mistake Of con-
centrating their attention upon the
second because it happens to be the
one which is actually criminal. But
it is evident to me that the logical
way to approach the case is upon
the first incident-the curious will, so
