After Revival-What?

The remarkable religious movement
which not long since arose in the west
like a little cloud no bigger than a
mans hand, is apparently spreading
throughout Christendom. 1t has al
ready assumed proportions which COM
mand attention from all quarters and
has won for it general recognition as
"the revival" Every genuine Chris
tan, at least, will be on the watch to
make the utmost Of its best features
and the least Of it's blemishes. 1t is
alike impossible that the latter can be
essentially divine, or that the former
can be exclusively human. .
Here, as in all Christian salvation"
it is imperative that there should be
the distinct recognition Of cooperation.
For it is always true that God can no
more save man without himself than
man can save himself without God.
This principle, however, compels us not
only to look with reverence for the
Divine element in present events, but
to consider carefully human issues IN
the future. Waves Of strong emotion,
be they ever so potent for good. cannot
roll on without cessation. There is an
ebb as we'll as flow to every tide.
1t is none too soon, therefore, to ask
and answer such questions as these:
Whittier is this movement leading us!
What will be left when its emotional
force is spent? Will it prove a verita-
Bile Nile in it's fruit-bearing deposits,
or will it ebb away into Sahara-like
sterility? All evangelical Christians
doubtless hope that the utmost OF the
highest will abide. Yet is there ample
room for most serious thought as to
how this more or less transient i'm
pulse may not only be translated into
something permanent but become the
starting-point Of a definitely higher
conception Of Christian doctrine and
practice throughout all the churches.

A Iesson From Beethoven.

Henry Ward Beecher once drew this
Illustration to show Gods desire to
have His people show forth His love
for the world:
Beethoven, it is said, after he be-
came deaf, would sit and play on an
old WORKOUT harpsichord that had long
been unfit for use, and suppose that ne
was playing matchless harmonies. The
instrument was so poor that not one
chord in five responded. Here was one
that gave forth some sound, and there
was another; but even they were out
Of harmony. And 1 sometimes think
God plays on a poor harpsichord' when
He takes this world to evolve the melo-
dies of Divine love, so few chords re-
spond at all, and so utterly inadequate
are those that do respond to illustrate
this browning attribute Of the mind"

Tho Wander of God.

HE saw that there was no man,

clares that unlimited blessing may be
gained for men through intercession.
Here is yourself with some knowledge
in your own experience of what In
tercession might mean. Yet God waits
and wonders! The phrase Is not too
strong. Remember the missionaries
who have gladly renowned all for the
joy Of putting q new light into despair
ing faces-but they spend little time
in asking for the Light. Remember
the pastors whose calling it is to min
ister-but they have renowned the
highest and most efficient ministry. Re

GOVERNMENT LIGHT.
HISTORIC CHlCKAMAUCA PARK
ABLAZE WITH ILLUMINATION.

United States System Of Lighting Mill
tary Post Pronounced Gratifyingly
successful-Six and Onc-Half Miles
of Mains sixty-Five Street Lights.
Chickamauga Park, Ga, May31.-The
United States Government has here
in operation one of the largest acety-
lene gas plants in the world. The mil
itary post at the entrance OF the his
torical Chickamauga battlefield, where
thirty thousand Union and Confederate
soldiers were lost IN the memorable
battle of September 10 and 20, 1868,
contains about one hundred buildings,
the seventy-6ve principal ones of which
are lighted with a~cetylcne. To accom-
plish this six and one-half miles OF
mains and two miles of service pipes
are in use, while sixty-fve street lamps
brilliantly illuminate the avenues OF
the post.
In 1908 the War Department in
stalled a test acetylene plant at Fort
Meyer, Virginia. The results were so
gratifying and the superiority of the
illuminant so evident that the Govern
ment, March. 20, 1901, placed the con-
tract for the Chickamauga plant, in
which every citizen Of the United States
should have his pro'rata Of pride.
But the Government has not confined
its acceptance of ~acetylene to this mill
tary post. Since becoming satisfied OF
the efficiency, superiority and conom-
zeal advantages Of this particular IL
luminant, the United States has in
stalled a number of plants in Indian
schools and other Government insti-
tutions.
Acetylene gas is one Of the simplest
as we'll as the most perfect Of artificial
lights. 1t is made By the contact OF

in the farm home, the village store,

easily maintained as to be practical for

1t is a matter for national congratu-
lation that in identifying so historic
q spot as Chickamauga. nothing but the
best, including the lighting system, has
been deemed good enough for the
American people.

Saved Jefferaon's Life.

Joseph Jefferson, the actor, and Cen
eral Sherman were great friends. Up
on q certain occasion Jefferson called
upon the General, says q writer in
L%ippincott's. After a pleasant chat
Jefferson rose to go, and General Sher-
man caught sight of a sheet of a paper
under the chair where the actor had
been sitting.
Jefferson" he called, picking up the
paper and carrying it to the door,
"you dropped this, think"
Jefferson took the sheet with an ef-
fusion of thanks that was astonishing.
"My dear General" he exclaimed
"you have saved my life"
1T seems to me you're rather care
less to carry such valuable papers
around so loosely" replied the General
in surprise.
Jefferson laughed, and unfolding the
paper revealed its contents. 1t was
the manuscript Of the opening pages
Of the great actors autobiography.

Among the Arabs there is a curious

willie the birds. when the ostrich went
dejectedly back, repudiated it also as a
traitor 10 its race. But the ostrich
was equal to the occasion and declared
that being neither mammal not bird
it must be an angel. At this all the
other animals Indignantly rushed upon
the ostrich and drove it before them
into the desert, where it has lived in
solitude ever since. with no one to
contradict it.''-Chicago News.

with the factory hands, ill-paid semp-

town. Without them it would not be
possible to carry on agricultural labor,
