went to the University Of Virginia. Ber-
ling was a Richmond boy and the story
is that he accompanied Poe to Greece
This story is now known to be without
foundation, for Poe went to Greece. but
1t may be that the two boys travelled
together to}BostOn, where Poe published
his first volume of poems.
History has 1t that Edgar Allen Poe
was an unnatural boy, who visited grave
yards and lived an unnatural life. The
facts as l know them. are that he was a
hoy who lived a perfectly normal life up
to the time he went TO the University,
and that his amusemcnts were the same
as the other boys with whom he assoc
ciated. He played ball on tho Flats

Rev. George H. Spoo,,er Talks
OF the Wonderful
81 Results.
.LlK K: NJ 10 PRAIRIE FIRE 7.E:.
Many Cities in America Have
Been Greatly
Stirred.
.LlKENED TO PRAIRIE FIRE.

ct is a statement often repeated that
after great national calamities, come
great religious REVEALS" said Rev. Geo.
II. Spooner yesterday This may be true
in many instances but not always, he
continued. 1t depends upon the people
and the teaching they have had. If ever
there was a place on the earth where a
great revival should have occurred, ao-
cording to this theory, 1t was in the
island of8Martinquc, where the greatest
destruction Of life occurred In the an
nails Of modern times. The wires have
brought us no information concerning q
religious revolution.
And If 1t be true that calamity Is a
forerunner of n revival. how shall we
account for the spirit of revival which
we are told, is sweeping over England
and Wales In their prosperity and touch
ing spots here in America In the bright
noontide Of her greatness? AS man by
wisdom cannot find out God, neither by
natural, law nor startling calamity can
be accounted for the "movement in the
tree tops. 10 my mind, viewed from the
human side, these great movements that
seemingly SO suddenly flash up and down
like prairie fires. are the results from
accumulated sparks of faith and love-,
igniting at last the fuel Of truth long
stored up, Some man, climbing the
heights and catching a clearer vision OF
human needs may come at the last with
q flaming torch and hasten the conflagra-
ton. a man Of scholarly attachments like
51'orey or an unlettered peasant like
Evan Roberts, but the fuel has been piled
UP and the smouldering embers have kept
it dry.
.In the last few months declared Mr..
Spooner, large results have followed
united efforts in various cities of our own
country. In Philadelphia, 1000 converts;
Louisville, 1900; Denver, 1900 and the
remarkable spectacle Of the stores all
closed in the middle of the week and the
Legislature adjourned to attend church.
In our own city something Of the same
spirit seems to be beginning to stir. Fair
mount. st. James, Grove Avenue. Second
Baptist and Third Christian Churches
nre in the midst Of revival work, and
Denny Street recently closed with TWEEN WEI,
ty- five conversions. First Baptist with
fifty, Pine Street with one hundred and
Broadus Memorial with one hundred.
The Baptsts of Norfolk recently closed
a revival with 167 professions OF faith.
and several other churches are now hold
ing special services. iS&
